REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
 
RESUMO
As complicações associadas à cirurgia de implantes dentários podem afetar significativamente tanto o tratamento quanto o conforto do paciente. As mais frequentes incluem infecção, que pode evoluir para peri-implantite, uma inflamação dos tecidos ao redor do implante que, se não tratada, pode levar à sua perda. Outra complicação é a falha na osseointegração, o processo de união do implante ao osso, que pode ser influenciada por fatores como a qualidade óssea, a técnica cirúrgica, o estado geral de saúde e os hábitos do paciente. A persistência de dor pode ser um indicativo de infecção ou falha na osseointegração. Além disso, danos a nervos ou vasos sanguíneos durante a cirurgia podem resultar em parestesia, hematomas ou sangramentos excessivos.  A taxa de insucesso dos implantes varia de 1,5% a 10%, acarretando em maior tempo de tratamento, custos adicionais, desconforto ao paciente e, potencialmente, constrangimento para o profissional. O fracasso do implante está associado à condição sistêmica e local do paciente, aos seus hábitos, além das condições cirúrgicas e protéticas. As causas do insucesso são multifatoriais e incluem desde a seleção inadequada do material, erros de planejamento, falhas na fabricação ou instalação do implante, até problemas na reparação óssea, além de complicações técnicas, como perda da retenção protética, fraturas da estrutura ou do material de revestimento estético, e afrouxamento ou fratura do parafuso protético.

Published: September 2024

Construction projects often face challenges of poor performance, resulting in increased costs, delays, and defects. To address these issues, Construction 4.0 (C4.0) employs innovative technologies to enhance project efficiency, safety, and sustainability. However, construction projects lag in adopting these technologies, meeting significant obstacles, with the inadequately trained workforce being a major, underexplored difficulty leading to subpar construction project performance. This study aims to investigate the current status of existing research on C4.0 skills and construction project performance. To achieve this aim, this study conducts a systematic literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method on 50 articles. The findings suggest that general Construction 4.0 skills are recognized, but the specific impact on construction projects during the fourth industrial revolution stays unexplored. The study findings emphasize the need for targeted research to identify and examine Construction 4.0 skills crucial for construction projects.

The current Islamic studies literature focusing on women’s expression in Indonesia remains understudied. It still presents a scholarly challenge for current Islamic studies to address the issue of ideal expressed space for women. This mainly includes women’s positions and roles in society and their concerns about public issues. This gap often becomes a source of criticism, especially from the feminist perspective. The latter believes that dogmatic religious understanding restricts women’s roles in public space. Addressing this puzzle, this paper aims to analyze how Islam affirmatively can address women’s expression as individuals and members of social groups. This paper employs critical discourse analysis by cultivating theoretical frameworks such as the debate between feminism and Islamic understandings of women. It also draws data from fieldwork, conducting in-depth interviews with women activists and academics. The findings of this study show that the need for inclusive public space for women to express their concerns while keeping their Islamic faith is imminent. This need could also expand women’s concerns to broader contexts such as interfaith dialogue. By focusing on three different Islamic women's movements, this paper further investigates how these three movements build up their expressed spaces and their impact on society.

The Rise of Tahfiz Schools in Contemporary Indonesia
Authors: Jahroni Jajang
Published: September 2024

This article discusses the rise of tahfiz schools in contemporary Indonesia which were pioneered by the Salafis and PKS-affiliated groups (PAGs). While tahfiz has been preserved for centuries among traditionalist Muslims, the tahfiz schools the Salafis and the PAGS promoted were integrated into school systems that also offer sciences. As a result, tahfiz schools are popular among urban Muslims who expect their children to be able to read the Holy Quran better while at the same time equipping them with sciences. This allows them to enroll at public universities. Even though tahfiz schools are relatively expensive, they never lacked students. Small, middle-size, and large tahfiz schools have been established across the country and exclusive tahfiz schools are equipped with libraries, gyms, computer labs, laundry facilities, cafés, and theatres. These facts have changed the long-established image of madrasa and Islamic schools which were seen as rural and poorly organized. The commodification of Islam is eventually inevitable and tahfiz schools have become an integral part of this process. They have become an important political issue since the 2010s.

The article is dedicated to examining the fundamental strategic priorities for developing managerial reporting in the context of economic security for small-scale enterprises in rural areas, considering the growth of agribusinesses in Ukraine and worldwide. It has been demonstrated that integrating digitalization into managerial accounting significantly improves the efficiency of the information support system for agricultural enterprises. Approaches have been proposed to establish optimal managerial reporting for small-scale enterprises in rural areas. It is noted that implementing digital technologies in reporting dramatically enhances the transparency and accuracy of financial operations, allowing for the timely identification of financial risks and the prevention of undesirable losses, thereby maintaining the economic security of agribusiness enterprises. Small enterprises in rural areas, which are limited in resources and opportunities for obtaining credit or external investments, can. However, they leverage digitalized reporting systems to improve their financial reliability when collaborating with potential investors and creditors. Moreover, the digitalization of managerial reporting facilitates the optimization of management processes, allowing for more rational planning of the enterprise’s available resources. To this end, we analyzed data from a sheep farming enterprise. In calculating economic indicators in managerial reporting, a developed format for digitalized accounting and reporting information is presented for small-scale enterprises involved in sheep farming. The decrease in the number of sheep and the productivity of products (milk and wool) by 4% from the planned volumes relates to the low quality of fodder, which directly affected the economic results of the agrarian business enterprise. At the same time, the actual revenues of the enterprise turned out to be 4.2% lower than planned due to the fall in the wool market and a slight decrease in revenues from the sale of dairy products. The conclusion is drawn that further implementation of digitalization in accounting processes is advisable to reduce bookkeeping costs. It is substantiated that, in the context of globalization and the digital transformation of markets, the digitalization of accounting procedures is an integral element of the development of management systems, ensuring their adaptability to the challenges of the modern economy. Keywords: agrarian business, strategic priorities, economic development, small businesses, international business, rural areas, enterprise, digitalization, management reporting, economic security.

Authors:   Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics, Hrachova Yana
Published: September 2024

The article examines the importance of social responsibility and clarifies the role of the state and public organizations in supporting socially responsible businesses. Today, many Ukrainian enterprises and organizations realize the importance of socially responsible business and increasingly create and implement socially responsible business projects. Such social projects may be related to charity, creating new jobs for IDPs or people with certain special needs, introducing new ecological technologies in energy or food, and other social initiatives. Modernity has faced a whole chain of quite complex problems, for example, the rapid growth of social inequality, global environmental crises, and protracted armed conflicts. The article focuses on the fact that overcoming the mentioned problems requires significant general efforts not only of power structures but also of business and scientific circles and the public. The author analyzes publications devoted to the formation and improvement of socially oriented behavior of business entities and analyzes the experience of using public-private practices and approaches to creating and implementing projects regarding the social responsibility of representatives of state authorities, business structures, public organizations, and other stakeholders. The social responsibility of the state is one of the main levers of ensuring the quality and effectiveness of state administration. The author emphasizes that the state has an essential task in shaping the socially responsible behavior of citizens. Legislative influence, educational policy, support for socially responsible businesses, and public campaigns are all tools the state can use to support and develop socially responsible behavior that contributes to creating an ethical and sustainable society. Public organizations also play an essential role in implementing these principles and forming an ethical business environment. The most crucial function of NGOs is to change people. In our fragmented society, non-governmental organizations promote social inclusion and integration. Public organizations are active initiators of social projects and social initiatives aimed at creating comfortable living conditions for communities, improving the quality of education, etc. The author emphasizes that the state is vital in regulating and stimulating socially responsible business behavior. Legislation, financial incentives, and other instruments of government intervention can contribute to the formation of an effective system of social responsibility. It was also found that public organizations monitor and promote the principles of social responsibility. They can influence business by demanding compliance with high standards of ethics and integrity. Keywords: social responsibility of business, state, public organizations, social state, social projects.

Published: September 2024

The article concentrates on the evolving context of business planning in the hospitality industry, exploring flexible strategies for addressing the negative industry-wide factors that have an impact. The hospitality industry is subject to several operational factors, including revenue generation, cost management, human resources, and marketing, which are influenced by seasonal variations. This necessitates the implementation of strategies to mitigate the impact of fluctuating demand. The high level of competition in the hospitality sector requires a clear competitive advantage, which may be achieved through factors such as location, the provision of high-quality service, innovative design, or a thematic focus. These factors must be strategically employed to distinguish businesses from one another. External factors, including economic conditions, political stability, and environmental risks, significantly influence the hospitality industry. Implementing robust scenario planning, risk management, and service diversification strategies is essential to mitigate these risks. Financial planning is critical to business planning and success, as financial obligations in the hospitality industry underscore the importance of a comprehensive investment analysis. The hospitality industry’s primary asset is its human capital. , strategies should be employed to create a positive working environment, invest in staff training, and implement incentive programs to attract, develop, and retain talent. Guests’ safety and maintaining a positive reputation for hospitality establishments are contingent upon monitoring reviews, responding to negative comments, and utilizing a positive image. The study highlights the necessity for an integrated methodology to be employed in planning business operations within the hospitality sector. Keywords: business planning, hotel and restaurant complex, hospitality industry, stages of organizational culture formation, business.

Actual problems of remote patient monitoring
Authors: Shevtsov I
Published: October 2024

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is an innovative technology that provides continuous monitoring of patients' health from a distance. The RPM system is versatile because it can be used in the treatment of acute and chronic conditions, helping doctors keep their patients under control between ward rounds or the absence of personal care. However, the implementation of this system is accompanied by numerous problems: from technical to hospital staff management problems. The object of this study is the technical challenges associated with the use of the RPM system. The problem lies in the imperfection of many elements of RPM, including: data management, sensor accuracy, compatibility and user acceptance of the technology. The research found that these technical challenges arise from insufficient standardization, poor sensor data quality, and interoperability issues between medical platforms. These results are explained by the complexity of the technological infrastructure and the need to improve the qualifications of medical workers. The main goal of the current article is to solve the scientific and technical problem of RPM through the proposal of an effective practical development - an automated system for remote monitoring of patients. Since most processes are moving towards their automation, by using the latest scientific developments, among which we can recall machine learning and neural networks and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, it was decided to consider the factors of their application in remote patient monitoring systems. The results of this study can be used to optimize RPM systems in hospitals, as well as to improve the reliability and efficiency of new automated monitoring systems, which is extremely important in the context of war, which causes a shortage of medical personnel and an increase in the number of potential patients per doctor.

Published: September 2024

The use of IT-based media in education systems has continuously risen, and the digital era has provided a great opportunity to integrate any media in the process of learning. This research will present an assessment of the role of optimized IT media in CRE at SMP N 1 Ledo. A qualitative approach with the case study method is used to gain depth into how IT media influences the learning process in this particular context. The findings of the case study reveal that IT media implementation increased both student activity and enhanced learning achievements of students in the subject of CRE. Furthermore, IT-based media make learning more interactive and fun for students; in this way, students can manage to retain concentration and sustain motivation throughout the entire learning process. Secondly, it has been indicated that IT media has to be duly developed and maintained if it is ever going to serve its full purpose in the classroom. If no support is given from time to time and technical developments are not made, the effectiveness of IT media might be rendered gradually useless. It also confirms that teachers need sufficient training and support so that they would feel confident in their contribution to students via the integration of technology into teaching. Capability of easily combining traditional approaches with the aid of digital tools generally increases the level of learning. The results of this research then demonstrate that IT media is capable of enhancing the effectiveness of Christian Religious Education, especially in making learning more interactive and fun for students. They also indicate the necessity for continuous professional development of teachers themselves so that teachers are able to keep up with the times and make use of these facilities appropriately in teaching
Gestural Communities
Authors: Giusti Francesco
Published: September 2024

Memorability, shareability, and repeatability are interrelated characteristics often ascribed to lyric poetry in current theory, sometimes with an emphasis on the transnational potential of its circulation. This article approaches this question of shareability not in terms of diction or form, as is usually the case, but of gesture. Drawing on Bertolt Brecht, Walter Benjamin, and Giorgio Agamben, gesture is defined as both historically situated and transferable to different contexts, but whether or not to re-enact a particular gesture in one’s own context is a political decision. After examining how a sonnet by Andrea Zanzotto addresses the lyric gesture of exhortation offered by a Petrarch sonnet, the article goes on to explore the potentiality opened up for the formation of gestural communities by the suspension of action in the lyric.

Recent years have seen a campaign to advance the status of Kaaps, the language spoken by the coloured community of the Cape Flats but long considered a dialect of Afrikaans. An important element in this endeavour has been the publication of lyric poetry in Kaaps, which is read both by members of the community, who can identify with it as a form of protest but also as a source of pride, and by middle-class white readers, who may gain from it an enhanced appreciation of the culture of this community.
Casting Dispersions
Authors: Lotterman Wendy
Published: September 2024

This chapter examines the refusal of privacy in Simone White’s 2016 collection Of Being Dispersed. Writing within the lyric mode, White’s defiantly public subject draws attention to the lyric’s generic proximity to liberalism, in which individuation is a precondition of recognition and race is thus read as an identity rather than the effect of a social process. By comparing White’s book with George Oppen’s 1968 poem ‘Of Being Numerous’, I argue that ‘dispersal’ names the condition of a racialized subject whose individuation is not in the first place given, whereas ‘numerousness’ names an aspiration to move toward assembly from an original interiority.
‘So Clear That One Can See the Breaks’
Authors: Altman Toby
Published: September 2024

This essay places Jen Bervin’s 2008 artist book The Desert in conversation with lyric theory. It argues that Bervin disrupts the lyric as it has developed since the nineteenth century, restoring its suppressed materiality and contesting the imbrication of the lyric in colonial practices of land use. By doing so, the essay argues, Bervin restores the social world of material production and communal labour on which the lyric depends.

Authors: Hakim Al Ghozali M. Dzikrul , Sirojudin Didin , Herianto M. Erik
Published: October 2024

Belajar Nahwu adalah bagian penting dari belajar bahasa Arab. Namun, beberapa guru saat ini menganggap ilmu Nahwu sulit dipahami karena metode pengajaran di kelas tidak sesuai dengan gaya belajar mereka. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, para guru menggunakan teori kecerdasan majemuk, atau banyak kecerdasan, yang menekankan bahwa kecerdasan setiap orang berbeda. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk membuat pembelajaran ilmu Nahwu menjadi lebih mudah bagi santri yang memiliki berbagai tingkat kecerdasan. Studi ini menyelidiki model pembelajaran Nahwu di Madrasah Diniyah al-Islahiyah yang didasarkan pada teori kecerdasan majemuk Howard Gardner. Metode kualitatif deskriptif dipakai, dan metode pengumpulan data seperti wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi dipakai. Menurut hasil penelitian, santri memiliki dua jenis kecerdasan utama: intrapersonal dan linguistik. Kemudian, guru menyesuaikan metode pengajaran dengan pengetahuan santri dengan cara-cara seperti membaca, menulis, menerangkan, memberikan ujian, dan memberikan motivasi di akhir setiap sesi pembelajaran. Dengan demikian, pembelajaran Nahwu menjadi lebih mudah dipahami dan tidak membosankan.
Learning Nahwu is an essential part of learning Arabic. However, a few teachers currently believe that Nahwu's knowledge is not as well understood as it could be since the school's teaching methods do not align with their learning style. To understand this, the teacher applies the theory of many kecerdasan, or majemuk kecerdasan, which suggests that each person has a unique kecerdasan. Its ultimate goal is to make learning Nahwu language more accessible to students with varying levels of proficiency. This study presents a model of Nahwu education in Diniyah al-Islamiyah Madrasah, based on Howard Gardner's theory of kecerdasan. Deskriptif kualitatif metode is used, along with data collection methods such observation, documentation, and wawancara. According to research findings, the two primary types of santri's kecerdasan are linguistic and intrapersonal. Next, the teacher adapts the teaching methodology to the students' knowledge using techniques like reading, writing
A review of epileptic markers: from ion channels, astrocytes, synaptic imbalance to whole brain network dynamics
Authors: Banerjee Swati , Jirsa Viktor
Published: September 2024

Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, presents a complex interplay of cellular and molecular mechanisms. The symptoms manifest themselves at various scales, from ion channels to brain regions to behavior in humans. Various screening, treatment, and preventive measures use this knowledge to tackle the disorder effectively. This article aims to summarize the current state of the art in epileptic markers from ion channels, astrocytes, and synaptic imbalance to whole brain Network Dynamics. Recent research has shed light on the critical involvement of astrocytes, the multifunctional glial cells, in the pathogenesis and modulation of epileptic seizures in humans. Astrocytes, once considered as mere supportive cells, are now recognized as active participants in the regulation of neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and brain homeostasis. Ion channel imbalance is one of the widely studied areas in the context of epilepsy and is partially addressed in the abstract. Recent advances in computational neuroscience have led to the development of whole brain network models, providing valuable tools for studying the complex dynamics of epileptic seizures. These models integrate diverse biological factors, including neuronal connectivity, synaptic dynamics, and cellular properties, to simulate the spatiotemporal patterns of epileptic activity across brain regions. Through computational simulations and analysis, whole brain network models offer insights into seizure initiation, propagation, and termination mechanisms, shedding light on the dynamic interactions between epileptic foci and distributed brain networks. Moreover, these models facilitate the exploration of network-based biomarkers for seizure prediction and intervention optimization. Challenges and limitations, such as model complexity and validation against experimental data, are also discussed. Despite these challenges, whole brain network models represent a promising approach for advancing our understanding of epilepsy and identifying novel therapeutic strategies. Future research efforts should focus on refining model fidelity, incorporating multimodal data, and translating computational findings into clinically relevant applications, ultimately improving the management and treatment of epilepsy patients.

Psychological narcissism and its contribution to the feeling of psychological loneliness among young basketball players
Authors: Hashem Mariam
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to determine the degree of psychological narcissism and the experience of psychological loneliness among young basketball players. It also sought to establish the relationship, contribution, and impact of psychological narcissism on the experience of psychological loneliness among young basketball players. The researcher hypothesizes that psychological narcissism and psychological loneliness among players have a moral correlation. The study focused on youth basketball and utilized a descriptive approach modeled on co-relational relationships. The community consisted of basketball players from Baghdad youth clubs who were training to participate in the local sports season (2023/234). The Sulaikh Club, Housing, and Industries naturally distributed the remaining 72 players among themselves. We intentionally selected Electricity, Air Force, and Civil Defense players using a thorough enumeration approach, ensuring 100% participation. They were considered a single sample, with 35 players selected for the construction sample, accounting for 48.611%, and 5 players selected for other purposes. Intentional gamers from this group made up 6.944% of the exploratory sample and 44.4444% of the remaining 32 individuals in the main research sample. We constructed specialized scales, such as paper and pen scales, to measure two phenomena within the target sample. We developed these scales by following field methodological steps and applying statistical treatments to the building sample. We obtained the results by conducting a survey and scanning the main sample. We then analyzed the results using the SPSS system. The findings indicate that young players exhibit a significant degree of psychological narcissism in the training and competitive setting, as well as a reduced sense of psychological unity in their basketball performances. The manifestation of these psychological phenomena in a partnership has a detrimental impact on the character of their group game. The suggestions were to focus on preventing and reducing psychological narcissism among basketball players. They should strive to enhance their self-confidence and assume responsibility for confronting the various situations in which they encounter psychological stress. This will help to establish a sense of psychological unity, which in turn positively impacts the outcomes of their competitions in this collaborative game that demands cooperation among the players.

Published: October 2024

Crystalline solar panels are widely used in households and for public road lighting. Mono-crystalline panels are well-known for their higher efficiency and long service life. However, their efficiency decreases as the module temperature increases under consistent solar radiation conditions. To enhance module power generation and efficiency, effective temperature reduction techniques are necessary. This study investigates the use of water and aloe vera fluid as cooling agents for a mono-crystalline photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system. The system was designed with a circulating mass flow rate of 0.016 kg/s or 1 LPM (liter per minute) and tested under the climate conditions of Phnom Penh city, Cambodia. The specific heat of aloe vera fluid was determined and found to be 4236 j/kg·K. The optical efficiency of PVT systems using water and aloe vera fluid was compared in this paper. The experiment results indicate that cooling with aloe vera fluid led to a 0.21% higher electrical power generation compared to water cooling, due to more effective temperature reduction and thermal heat absorption rate of aloe vera fluid is higher than water 32.41%.
Performance Analysis of Hybrid Relay Selection in Cooperative NOMA Systems

Cooperative NOMA is a method to improve the system performance, this could be done by enabling a user to relay the signal to other users or a dedicated relay. Several dedicated hybrid relays are distributed to forward the source’s signal to the destinations to further enhance the system and serve the users at the cell edge. However, operating several relays simultaneously reduces the spectral efficiency because they need orthogonal channels. Thus, hybrid relay selection is proposed and investigated as a cooperative technique to improve NOMA performance. The relay that provides the highest SNR channel is enabled to relay the signal while the other relays are disabled. BER, outage probability, and channel capacity are measured and investigated to assess the overall system performance. These indicators show that this relay selection is feasible, moreover, relay selection enhances the system reliability, flexibility, and data throughput.
Is Helicobacter pylori infection protective against esophageal cancer?

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) infection affects a substantial proportion of the global population and causes various gastric disorders, including gastric cancer. Recent studies have found an inverse relationship between H. pylori infection and esophageal cancer (EC), suggesting a protective role against EC. This editorial focuses on the possible mechanisms underlying the role of H. pylori infection in EC and explores the role of gut microbiota in esophageal carcinogenesis and the practicality of H. pylori eradication. EC has two major subtypes: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), which have different etiologies and risk factors. Gut microbiota can contribute to EC via inflammation-induced carcinogenesis, immunomodulation, lactagenesis, and genotoxin production. H. pylori infection is said to be inversely related to EAC, protecting against EAC by inducing atrophic gastritis, altering serum ghrelin levels, and triggering cancer cell apoptosis. Though H. pylori infection has no significant association with ESCC, COX-2-1195 polymorphisms and endogenous nitrosamine production can impact the risk of ESCC in H. pylori -infected individuals. There are concerns regarding a plausible increase in EC after H. pylori eradication treatments. However, H. pylori eradication is not associated with an increased risk of EC, making it safe from an EC perspective.
Modulation of host N6-methyladenosine modification by gut microbiota in colorectal cancer

As a research hotspot in the field of molecular biology, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has made progress in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), leukemia and other cancers. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the tumour microenvironment (TME) regulates the level of m6A modification in the host and activates a series of complex epigenetic signalling pathways through interactions with CRC cells, thus affecting the progression and prognosis of CRC. However, with the diversity in the composition of TME factors, this action is reciprocal and complex. Encouragingly, some studies have experimentally revealed that the intestinal flora can alter CRC cell proliferation by directly acting on m6A and thereby altering CRC cell proliferation. This review summarizes the data, supporting the idea that the intestinal flora can influence host m6A levels through pathways such as methyl donor metabolism and thus affect the progression of CRC. We also review the role of m6A modification in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic assessment of CRC and discuss the current status, limitations, and potential clinical value of m6A modification in this field. We propose that additional in-depth research on m6A alterations in CRC patients and their TME-related targeted therapeutic issues will lead to better therapeutic outcomes for CRC patients.

Poultry farming plays a pivotal role in addressing human food demand. Robots are emerging as promising tools in poultry farming, with the potential to address sustainability issues while meeting the increasing production needs and demand for animal welfare. This review aims to identify the current advancements, problems and prospects of development for robotics in poultry farming by examining existing challenges, solutions and innovative research, including robot-animal interactions. This paper covers the application of robots in different areas, from environmental monitoring to disease control, floor eggs collection and animal welfare. Robots not only demonstrate effective implementation on farms but also hold potential for ethological research on collective and social behaviour, which can in turn drive a better integration in industrial farming, with improved productivity and enhanced animal welfare.
