Actual problems of prevalence and treatment of deep bite with functional correction of the musculo-articular complex in the permanent bite
Authors: Kyrychenko N.A.
Published: May 2023

The significant prevalence of deep bite and pathology of the musculo-articular complex dictates the need for a comprehensive study of this issue. A deep bite is diagnosing in about 78% of cases with vertical anomalies in the permanent bite. Also, according to the latest research, this pathology occurs most often in Europe, 37.4%. Deep bite is diagnosed more often among men. In addition, there is an increase in the prevalence of deep bite with age in adult patients. In addition, complaints about the musculo-articular complex have become more frequent: pain in the temporomandibular joints, muscle tension, teeth grinding, stronger clenching. All these factors dictate the need for a detailed study of this pathology. The article presents an analysis of modern domestic and foreign literature, which highlights the issues of prevalence, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria and classification of forms of deep bite, its impact on the musculo-articular complex and features of treatment of this pathology in the permanent bite. The reviewed scientific works offer different methods of diagnosis and treatment of deep bite. In particular, the methods of treatment depend on the etiology and nature of deep bite. Many scientific works associate the occurrence of musculo-articular disorders with deep bite in patients. The improvement of the condition of the muscle-articular complex after the orthodontic treatment is also determined. However, a consensus was not reached on this issue, so research continues. After the analysis of the scientific works of many authors from the PubMed database, the need for a more detailed study of the problem, diagnostic methods and the creation of algorithms for the treatment of deep bite with functional correction of the musculo-articular complex in the permanent bite is followed.

Keywords: temporomandibular joint, orthodontical treatment tactics, treatment algorithms.
Travailler en partenariat en éducation prioritaire
Authors: Gougeaud Éric
Published: May 2023

Comment travailler en partenariat sur les territoires prioritaires ? Mon expérience de principal guidera ma réflexion sur les pratiques professionnelles dans ce domaine. Après avoir défini tout l'intérêt de travailler en partenariat, de faire se rencontrer établissements scolaires et quartiers populaires afin d'œuvrer de concert et engager des actions efficaces, nous soulignerons que malgré les bonnes volontés de nombreux freins peuvent exister. Collaborer avec différents partenaires ne peut être fructueux qu'à la condition de construire une communauté éducative, mettant consciemment en œuvre une « intelligence territoriale ». Ces partenariats méritent donc un cadre clair pour l'ensemble des acteurs, qui trouveront toute leur place et s'engageront dans des projets structurants au bénéfice des jeunes.
Acteurs du développement social et urbain : derrière les intitulés de postes, des individualités
Authors: Ida-Ali Khalid
Published: May 2023

Voilà près de quarante ans que la politique de la ville innove et agit sur les territoires dits tantôt fragiles, tantôt sensibles, aujourd’hui « prioritaires ». Parfois objet de critiques, elle n’a pour autant jamais cessé d’influencer les politiques publiques par sa modernité et son agilité. Mais la conduite du changement ne s’envisage pas sans médiateur. Au cœur de cette politique publique se dessine une figure : l’agent de développement social et urbain. De la figure historique du militant associatif au jeune technicien diplômé de hautes études, tous s’attachent à réduire l’impact des inégalités que l’ensemble de la société produit allègrement.
Mes deux leviers pédagogiques pendant la crise : le numérique et l'empathie
Authors: Diracca Clélia
Published: May 2023

Ce récit retrace les événements survenus à partir du jour de l’annonce du confinement. Je suis enseignante dans une école classée en réseau d’éducation prioritaire renforcée (REP +) depuis plus de dix ans. Cette année, j’ai en charge une classe de CM1. Le groupe est composé de vingt et un élèves. Travailler en REP +, c’est travailler auprès d’un public spécifique, pour lequel les normes scolaires ne vont pas de soi. Avec le confinement, mon instinct me pousse à faire preuve de créativité, d’innovation pour entraîner les élèves dans mon enseignement à distance. Les parents ne sauront pas toujours les aider. Enseigner en REP+ réclame une motivation extrinsèque plus forte qu’ailleurs, pour donner du sens à l’école.
Les intervenants du PRE : entre précarité et stratégies d’adaptation
Authors: Sompayrac Laurie
Published: May 2023

Pendant plusieurs années, nous avons étudié les pratiques de travail collectives et individuelles des personnels d’un PRE du centre de la France dont la particularité a été de mettre à disposition des intervenants pour accompagner les enfants et les familles identifiés par le dispositif. Leur place, leur statut et leur rôle dans la structure qui les embauche et dans le parcours éducatif des enfants a fait l’objet d’une analyse particulière au cours de notre étude. Il a ainsi été possible d’interroger la construction de la professionnalité de ces intervenants dans un contexte où les acteurs disposent de peu d’appui institutionnel pour légitimer leurs interventions et de reconstruire le sens qu’ils confèrent à leurs actions.
Des ZEP aux Cités éducatives, les interférences institutionnelles négligées
Authors: Monceau Gilles
Published: May 2023

L'année 1981 marque le lancement de l'éducation prioritaire en France.  Rapidement, une invitation devenant injonction institutionnelle à travailler en partenariat est faite aux enseignants et plus largement aux professionnels exerçant dans les quartiers concernés à proximité de l'école. Si une certaine attention est portée par les décideurs et chercheurs aux interactions entre professionnels, les interférences institutionnelles occasionnées par le travail partenarial sont souvent ignorées aujourd'hui encore. Ce sont pourtant ces interférences qui renouvellent les manières de faire et de penser en produisant de nouvelles pratiques et de nouveaux dispositifs.

Published: May 2023

Organic single crystals are attracting enormous attention and playing an indispensable role in the realization of high-performance electronic devices. In this paper, we reported an in situ growth method for two-dimensional branch-like and hexagonal shapes of fluoranthene crystals under the photophoretic and dielectrophoretic forces generated by the photothermal and photovoltaic effects in both vapor- and liquid- environments. The crystals grown via this method are characterized by real-time controllability and large size. At the same time, the crystal morphology can also be modified through non-contact illumination. This growth method may serve the future demand for crystal growth in different phases.

Published: May 2023

Magnetically powered miniature robots have received increasing attention for decades owing to their convenient navigation ability, noninvasive remote actuation, and diverse potential applications. Although various individual motions of magnetic miniature robots have been explored, mimicking group cooperation and synchronized coordination of natural intelligence remain challenging. Here, we introduce diverse cooperative behaviors between two magnetic miniature swimmers in uniform magnetic fields by tuning and composing their magnetic moments. The ability of these magnetic miniature swimmers to form dynamic steady states offers considerable promise for creating groups of machines that can perform cooperative tasks.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: The fraud problem has occurred for a long time, followed by accounting scandals including Enron, Worldcom, Satyam, and Global Crossing. This problem is observed from the problems in accounting ethics. This study reviews the literature on ethical self-regulation in accounting from 1980-2020. The articles referred to are those published in Scopus indexed journals. Various solutions were presented from various articles such as improving regulations and professional ethics, free choice of standards used in accounting methods, perceptions of accountants to ethics education in accountants. All of these suggestions have advantages and disadvantages. This paper offers an Islamic work ethic as a solution to the ethical self-regulation of accountants that has a strong dimension with a backing on the divine aspect. This paper offers an Islamic work ethic as a solution to the ethical self-regulation of accountants that has a strong dimension with a backing on the divine aspect. Method: This paper uses harzing software to compile articles on ethical regulation in accountants from the 1980s to 2020. The articles referred to are those published in Scopus indexed journals. The results of tracing articles found very little data discussing regulations on accounting ethics. After the screening process, only six articles were found to be relevant (Table 1). Table 2 shows that most of the articles are conceptual papers. The rest use survey, qualitative and archival methods. Result: So with various improvement efforts in these various fields, this paper suggests an Islamic work ethic as a solution to the problem of accountant ethics. This ethic can be universally applicable because it involves the individual's relationship with his God. All actions return to intentions that focus on the process, not only on the results. Limitation: The limitation of this article is that it only discusses the aspect of self-regulation. Studies from different aspects will add to the contribution of ethical studies in accounting.

Authors: Ramayani Septiana Laksmi , Ratna Meilyanawati Chatarina Hartiningty
Published: May 2023

Background: Java tumeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) is a medicinal plant native to Indonesia which has been empirically proven to be efficacious for health to cure various types of diseases. One of the compounds in Java tumeric is essential oil. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of particle size and distillation time on the yield of Java tumeric essential oil. Method: The extraction method used is hydrodistillation. The variables in this study were particle size (425µm and 250µm) and distillation time (3.4 and 5 hours). The data obtained were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis and followed by Mann Whitney. Results: The results showed that a particle size of 250µm resulted in a greater yield of essential oils than a particle size of 425µm. Distillation time of 5 hours produces a greater yield of essential oils than distillation time of 4 hours or 3 hours. The smaller the particle size and the longer the distillation time, the greater the yield of essential oil produced. Conclusion: Particle size and distillation time affect the yield of java tumeric essential oil.

Online Video Super-Resolution using Information Replenishing Unidirectional Recurrent Model
Authors: Agrahari Baniya Arbind , Lee Glory , Eklund Peter , Aryal Sunil , Robles-Kelly Antonio
Published: May 2023

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) are widespread for Video Super-Resolution (VSR) because of their proven ability to learn spatiotemporal inter-dependencies across the temporal dimension. Despite RNN’s ability to propagate memory across longer sequences of frames, vanishing gradient and error accumulation remain major obstacles to unidirectional RNNs in VSR. Several bi-directional recurrent models are suggested in the literature to alleviate this issue; however, these models are only applicable to offline use cases due to heavy demands for computational resources and the number of frames required per input. This paper proposes a novel unidirectional recurrent model for VSR, namely “Replenished Recurrency with Dual-Duct” (R2D2), that can be used in an online application setting. R2D2 incorporates a recurrent architecture with a sliding-window-based local alignment resulting in a recurrent hybrid architecture. It also uses a dual-duct residual network for concurrent and mutual refinement of local features along with global memory for full utilisation of the information available at each timestamp. With novel modelling and sophisticated optimisation, R2D2 demonstrates competitive performance and efficiency despite the lack of information available at each time-stamp compared to its offline (bi-directional) counterparts. Ablation analysis confirms the additive benefits of the proposed sub-components of R2D2 over baseline RNN models.The PyTorch-based code for the R2D2 model will be released at R2D2 GitRepo. 
A practical evaluation of AutoML tools for binary, multiclass, and multilabel classification
Authors: Cysneiros Aragão Marcelo Vinícius , Guimarães Afonso Augusto , Ferraz Rafaela Cristina , Gonçalves Ferreira Rairon , Gomes Leite Sávio
Published: May 2023

Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is a recent technology that provides speed to machine learning iterations and allows individuals with less experience to take advantage of existing tools. Due to several frameworks with different features, deciding the best option to solve each classification problem becomes difficult. It is necessary to consider aspects such as performance metrics and time when choosing the algorithm to reduce the demand for highly technical, specific knowledge in the subject. There are some comparisons of AutoML tools and approaches that perform tests in the area of data preprocessing, model selection, and hyperparameter optimization. However, most of these studies focus on binary and multiclass classification, not covering multilabel classifications and consequently not exploiting the full potential of the tools. In this paper, a comparative study between multiple AutoML tools is performed related to the features, architecture, capabilities, and results achieved on binary, multiclass, and multilabel classification problems from experimentation on various data sets.
BFLMeta: Blockchain-Empowered Metaverse with Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning
Authors: Truong Vu , Le Long Bao
Published: May 2023

The emerging metaverse is envisioned as a virtual mapping of the real world, thus it would inevitably employ numerous Machine Learning (ML) frameworks to analyze and process massive data for the virtual-physical synchronization process. As a distributed ML paradigm, Federated Learning (FL) can naturally take advantage of numerous IoT, wearable devices, and edge, cloud servers under the metaverse infrastructure to train ML models with privacy guarantee. However, the large-scale and decentralized nature of the metaverse can pose significant challenges to traditional FL schemes, where there is a centralized server aggregating the local models received from local devices. It is not only vulnerable to Single Point of Failure (SPoF), but also lacks incentive mechanisms encouraging metaverse users to contribute their resource and data.

In this paper, we propose BFLMeta, a blockchain-based FL scheme for the metaverse in which the aggregation process is performed in a decentralized manner, while the framework can estimate the non-IID degree of data to flexibly adjust blockchain committee size, thereby mitigating the impact of malicious aggregators. Security analysis shows that BFLMeta can resist SPoF, poisoning attack, privacy leakage, and sybil attack. Besides, our evaluation on computation, communication, and performance illustrates the efficiency of BFLMeta. Notably, BFLMeta can converge even with more than 50% poisoning nodes.

FEATURES OF NATURAL SCIENCE IN NORWAY
Authors:   Mukachevo State University, Bondar Tamara , Pinzenik Olena ,   Mukachevo State University
Published: May 2023

The article argues the importance of studying the ways in which natural science in Norway is taught. The research findings could help to modernize the natural science curriculum in Ukraine since all reforms are more or less related to integration. Ukraine, taking into account the proposals of the European Commission, has identified the science, engineering and technology competence as one of the key competences. The expected outcomes include the ability to apply the appropriate set of knowledge and methodologies to explain the natural world, to determine and make conclusions based on the information received, and to be responsible for the consequences of the human activity. The integration approach of the subject areas is relatively new for schools in Ukraine, so studying the experience of developing the natural science curriculum in Norway allows understanding the opportunities offered by integration, since a characteristic feature of science curriculum in general education schools in Norway is an integrated course of biology, chemistry, physics, and geography taught in the first through the eleventh grade. Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical publications the features that characterize science curriculum in Norway have been identified. They include: the constant reformation that the science curriculum undergoes aiming at constant improvements to provide for the country’s economic, cultural and social development; the science curriculum is centralized; the content of physics, biology, chemistry, and geography is integrated in the natural science curriculum in Grade 1 to Grade 11 in lower secondary school and upper secondary school; the science curriculum content is comprehensive and coherent; the content is organized in the five subject domains and expected competencies are outlined; «family resemblance approach» is used to integrate the subject areas and to teach the nature of science – it motivate students to develop better attitude to the subject; the inquiry-based learning technology is used as a teaching method; when developing the natural science curriculum the main trends in the society development are taken into account. The development of science education in Norway is characterized by the acceleration of education reform under the influence of globalization factors. The analysis of the natural science curriculum in Grade 1 to Grade 11 is likely to give the perspective for the future studies.
Sustainability Analysis of Primary Forest Areas in The Perspective of Income and Gross Domestic Regional Product Inequality (Vector Autoregressive Approach)

Published: May 2023

Jambi Province is a province on Sumatra Island with a land area of 5,016,005 hectares, of which 2,098,535 ha are forest areas. With the potential of existing resources, Jambi province's economic growth in the last ten years has been on a positive trend, but for the period 2006 to 2018, experienced significant land degradation which causes the shrinkage of the province natural forest areas. This research aims to analyze the relationship that occurs between variables of primary forest areas, income inequality, and economic growth in Jambi Province by using the vector autoregression method followed by stationarity test, optimum lag test, cointegration test, var stability test, variance decomposition, and granger causality test. Based on the causality of the three research variables, the Granger causality test results indicate that there is a unidirectional causality between income inequality that occurs in Jambi Province and the percentage of primary forest area in Jambi Province that is still available. In addition, the results of the VAR analysis show that based on the t-statistic value, income inequality in period eight significantly affected the percentage of primary forest area in Jambi Province in the following year. Besides that, based on the coefficient, income inequality negatively affected primary forest areas the following year in period eight. The results of the Decomposition Variant test predicted that in period 1, the primary forest area variable affected 99.98% of the primary forest area variable. Income inequality had an effect of 0.02% on primary forest areas, and economic growth in period one did not affect primary forest areas. Predictions for the 10th period show that the primary forest area affects 52.62% of the primary forest area, while 29.81% and 17.56% of the primary forest area in the 10th period are affected by income inequality and economic growth. The analysis above shows the critical role of primary forests in Jambi Province for the existing inequality and economic growth in Jambi Province. Deforestation and non-optimal primary forest management can have a negative impact on the value of income inequality in Jambi Province. Therefore, a policy framework on forestry in Jambi Province is needed that involves the development of plantation forests as an effort that could overcome the decrease in wood supply.

Attempting to provide teaching excellence will go some way towards mediating the hurdles students face along the way to completing their degree.
Concept of Banking Innovation and Their Classification
Authors: Ani Tatishvili Ani Tatishvili
Published: May 2023

In the framework of this article the concept and role of banking innovations and the author’s judgment of this concept are discussed. We will identify the main reasons for the need for innovations in banks and present the significance of the classification of banking innovations and their brief description. Banking innovations include a product, services, and technology, the introduction of which leads to a qualitative change in banking activity and usually brings profit to the bank.
Moreover, it is necessary to classify the banking innovation, as innovative processes should not proceed spontaneously. Through the classification the effectiveness of the implemented change can be calculated more accurately, therefore, it is necessary to create an innovative strategy, which is needed for a specific credit organization, because the effectiveness and competitiveness of a bank’s work in the market depends on the introduction of new banking products, technologies and processes. The introduction of innovations in the banking sector is characterized by a higher customer service quality, which contributes to the improvement and acceleration of the customer service quality and the smooth operation of the bank’s internal work process.

Construction of Islamophobia in the USA: Evidence from the US Press
Authors: Tariq Awan Muhammad
Published: May 2023

The term "Islamophobia" refers to two distinct emotions: anti-Muslim prejudice and anti-Islam sentiments. As relevant literature suggests, these negative feelings are the product of a discourse that portrays Islam and Muslims as a source of fear and insecurity. This study investigated the discursive manifestations of Islamophobia within the theoretical framework of securitization. To investigate these manifestations in the US media discourses, the discourse analysis method was adapted from the DHA. The researcher analyzed a total of 3153 news and opinion articles from US newspapers and wire services between November 2016 and January 2017. This analysis found that both types of negative posturing are present in the US press discourse, which presents the picture of an Islamophobia society. The study concluded that Islamophobia in the US context is primarily a political construct, used to mobilize societal hatred against Islam and Muslims, with hate crimes against Muslims being the most apparent manifestation. The researcher recommends similar inquiry into other contexts as well.

Prognostic importance of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease patients—a hospital-based prospective cohort
Authors: Rashid Ishfaq , Tiwari Pramil , D’Cruz Sanjay , Jaswal Shivani
Published: May 2023

Aim: In patients with cancer, ischemic heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a measure of systemic inflammation, has been demonstrated to predict mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the inflammatory status, and also examine the impact of NLR on renal outcomes (mortality and composite endpoints) in non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
Methods: This prospective cohort was conducted at a tertiary care public teaching hospital. The NLR greater than 3.53 was taken as an indication of systemic inflammation. The outcome measures include composite endpoints (end-stage renal disease, dialysis commencement, doubling serum creatinine from the baseline), and mortality. Kaplan-Meier plots and a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model were employed to analyze the outcomes.
Results: A cohort of 360 patients aged 53.7 years ± 13.9 years had a median follow-up of 14 months ± 4.24 months and was evaluated for inflammatory status and renal outcomes. The proportion of inflammation was found to be 101 (28.7%). Higher NLR levels had shown an increased incidence of mortality (5.3%) and composite endpoints (12.3%). In reference to the NLR quartile (Q1), the highest quartile (Q4) had shown 3 times increased hazards for mortality and 95.0% increased risk of hazards for composite endpoints Q4 hazard ratio (HR) 3.09; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.38–6.91 (P = 0.006), and Q4 HR 1.93; 95% CI 1.22–3.08 (P = 0.005), respectively. Higher NLR was positively associated with urea, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, Pt-Global web tool©/Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment score and negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate, albumin, hemoglobin.
Conclusions: NLR is a potential predictor of mortality and composite endpoints in CKD patients even before they undergo dialysis. Additionally, inflammation should be regarded as a common comorbid condition in CKD patients due to its high prevalence.
Users’ Propensity to Use Self-Driving Systems of SAE Automation Level 1 and 2 Cars: Results of an Italian Survey
Authors: Picone Mariarosaria , Carteni Armando
Published: May 2023

The automotive sector is currently developing advanced autonomous functionalities which are expected to be soon integrated into the vehicles. These vehicles can help to reduce road accidents, ease traffic congestion, improve fuel consumption, and reduce pollutant emissions. By contrast, there are still technological, normative, ethical, and social obstacles to the widespread adoption of self-driving cars, among which users’ acceptance covers a relevant issue. The aim of the paper was to investigate the users’ propensity to use self-driving systems of SAE automation Levels 1 and 2. To do this, an hoc mobility survey was performed in Italy among car drivers, investigating both the presence of these autonomous devices on board the vehicles currently used and their frequency of usage. Survey results show that 41% of the respondents currently have a Level 1 and/or 2 system on-board their car: 54% have only the Cruise Control (Level 1 car), while 46% have both of them (Level 2 car). Furthermore, about 85% of the respondent frequently (medium-high) use the Cruise Control and/or Lane Keeping Assist. More than 86% of the drivers stated that these devices significantly improve both road safety and driving stress (improve the travel experience). The highways are the roads where these self-driving systems are mainly used (more than 70% of the time). These results underline the relevant effort that the automotive industry has performed in the last decades about self-driving. In the last five years within the Italian market was observed an increase of more than 200% of the car standard equipment (no optional) with SAE automation Level 1 or 2 systems.

Decision-making under ambiguity and risk and executive functions in Parkinson’s disease patients: A scoping review of the studies investigating the Iowa Gambling Task and the Game of Dice

Evidence shows that patients affected by Parkinson’s disease (PD) display the tendency toward making risky choices. This is due, at least in part, to the pathophysiological characteristics of the disease that affects neural areas underlying decision making (DM), in which a pivotal role is played by nonmotor corticostriatal circuits and dopamine. Executive functions (EFs), which can be impaired by PD as well, may sustain optimal choices in DM processes. However, few studies have investigated whether EFs can support PD patients to make good decisions. Adopting the scoping review approach, the present article is designed to deepen the cognitive mechanisms of DM under conditions of ambiguity and risk (that are conditions common to everyday life decisions) in PD patients without impulse control disorders. We focused our attention on the Iowa Gambling Task and the Game of Dice Task, because they are the most commonly used and reliable tasks to assess DM under ambiguity and under risk, respectively, and analyzed the performances in such tasks and their relationships with EFs tests in PD patients. The analysis supported the relationships between EFs and DM performance, especially when a higher cognitive load is required to make optimal decisions, as it happens under conditions of risk. Possible knowledge gaps and further research directions are suggested to better understand DM mechanisms in PD sustaining patients’ cognitive functioning and preventing negative consequences in everyday life derived from suboptimal decisions.

Recognition of social hierarchy is a key feature that helps us navigate through our complex social environment. Neuroimaging studies have identified brain structures involved in the processing of hierarchical stimuli, but the precise temporal dynamics of brain activity associated with such processing remains largely unknown. In this investigation, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine the effect of social hierarchy on the neural responses elicited by dominant and nondominant faces. Participants played a game where they were led to believe that they were middle-rank players, responding alongside other alleged players, whom they perceived as higher or lower-ranking. ERPs were examined in response to dominant and nondominant faces, and low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) was used to identify the implicated brain areas. The results revealed that the amplitude of the N170 component was enhanced for faces of dominant individuals, showing that hierarchy influences the early stages of face processing. A later component, the late positive potential (LPP) appearing between 350–700 ms, also was enhanced for faces of higher-ranking players. Source localisation suggested that the early modulation was due to an enhanced response in limbic regions. These findings provide electrophysiological evidence for enhanced early visual processing of socially dominant faces.

The paper considers the preparation of potassium sodium niobate ceramics doped with titanium in an amount of 5 mol. %. The structure and dielectric properties were investigated in the temperature range 30–650 °C. It is shown that acceptor doping leads to a decrease in the grain size. Violation of stoichiometry in the anionic sublattice contributes to a decrease in the relaxation time of thermal ionic polarization compared to the case of nonstoichiometry in the cationic sublattice.
