Background: Gingival recession (GR) is one of the most common esthetic problems affecting the middle and older aged peoples.  GR can lead to many changes as root caries, hypersensitivity, erosions, abrasions, plaque retention and aesthetic dissatisfaction. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of gingival recession in relation to mucogingival deformities in lower esthetic zone.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 290 females. The participants were interviewed for personal habits and examined for intraoral distribution of gingival recession and its various predisposing factors.
 Results: The prevalence of gingival recession in lower anterior teeth was 234, 80.69 %.Around half of the participants had Millers' class I GR (n=146, 49%), thin gingival phenotype (n=168, 56.9 %), mucosal and gingival labial frenum attachment(n=132, 44.7%, n=148, 50.2%). Most of the participants had a sufficient attached gingiva (n=246, 83.4%) and normal vestibular depth(n=278, 94.2%). GR were statistically significant with vestibular depth, gingival biotype and attached gingiva (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: Gingival recession in lower aesthetics zone was high in females especially Miller class I gingival recession  due to thin gingival phenotypes. Most of Yemeni females have adequate attached gingiva, normal vestibular depth with a frequent mucosallabial frenum in lower anterior teeth.

Abstract Newspapers are one of the main channels that feature a variety of news and information to the public. For the longest time, newspapers have played a significant role in conveying information to readers and can change public perception and views on particular issues and news. In the context of newspapers in Malaysia, mainstream newspapers not only report local and foreign news but also the voice of the government when conveying messages and policies to the people. However, in the process of reporting current news, especially those involving politics and national leadership issues, each newspaper’s reporting style can be analysed based on the language elements used. This factor may not be obvious to the general reader, but if examined through linguistics, especially the field of pragmatics, such tendencies can be proven appropriately. Therefore, this study aimed to prove that the language elements used in news reports can be analysed to show the slant of a newspaper towards an issue. For this purpose, this study utilises the relevance theory envisaged by Sperber & Wilson (1995) to describe the manner in which each linguistic input on a semantic level can be interpreted to explain the true meaning of what is being announced by Malay dailies. Keywords: newspapers, tendency, pragmatic, implicit meaning, Relevance Theory Abstrak Akhbar ialah salah satu saluran utama yang menyampaikan pelbagai berita dan maklumat kepada masyarakat. Sejak sekian lama, akhbar terbukti mempunyai peranan yang besar untuk menyampaikan maklumat kepada pembaca di seluruh pelosok negara dan mampu mengubah persepsi dan pandangan masyarakat terhadap sesuatu isu dan berita. Dalam konteks akhbar di Malaysia, akhbar arus perdana bukan sahaja melaporkan pelbagai berita di dalam dan luar negara malahan turut menjadi suara kerajaan dalam menyampaikan amanat, dasar dan polisi negara kepada rakyat amnya. Namun, dalam proses melaporkan berita semasa, khususnya berita yang melibatkan politik dan kepimpinan negara, kecenderungan pelaporan setiap akhbar terhadap isu yang dilaporkan dapat dilihat berdasarkan penggunaan elemen bahasa. Jika penggunaan bahasa ini dikaji dan diselidiki berdasarkan pendekatan dan teori yang tertentu, kecenderungan ini dapat dibuktikan dengan berpada. Oleh itu, kajian ini diketengahkan bagi membuktikan bahawa elemen bahasa yang digunakan dalam tajuk berita dapat dianalisis bagi memperlihatkan kecenderungan akhbar terhadap isu yang dilaporkan tersebut. Untuk tujuan ini, kajian ini memanfaatkan Teori Relevans yang digagaskan oleh Sperber & Wilson (1995), khususnya idea makna prosedur bagi menghuraikan cara mana setiap input linguistik pada peringkat semantik dapat diinterpretasikan bagi menjelaskan maksud sebenar yang mahu disampaikan oleh laporan akhbar tersebut.

Published: November 2022

O artigo propõe uma análise sobre a dinâmica de distribuição midiática jornalística nos municípios paranaenses, a partir da organização capitalista do espaço e das dinâmicas de desigualdades sociais na organização da cidade e no acesso aos direitos constitucionais. Usando dados da base do Projor (2019) sobre desertos de notícias no país, podemos observar a indicação de uma relação da oferta e abrangência geográfica dos veículos produtores de notícia nos 399 municípios do Paraná com a incidência populacional e de maior Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH). Esta centralidade cria um mapa de distribuição desproporcional de produção de notícia no estado, o que pode resultar em uma consequente disparidade de cobertura noticiosa e a promoção de um cenário de invisibilização da informação local, fundamental para o exercício da cidadania, quer seja no processo eleitoral, quer seja na capacidade de percepção de direitos e organização por cobranças da efetivação destes direitos por parte do poder público.

Increased expression levels of DLX5 inhibit the development of the nervous system
Authors: Liao Tingting , Xu Xia , Wu Junzi , Xie Yi , Yan Jianying
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy
(HDP). DLX5 plays an important role in the migration and differentiation
of subglobus pallidus precursor cells. Material and methods: We
established a zebrafish line expressing high levels of DLX5 and
investigated changes in behavior and development of the nervous system.
Results: The ratios of brain volume area to whole body area at 96 hpf
zebrafish in the experimental group (gRNA+CasRx) were significantly
lower than the WT group and the negative control group
(casRx)(P<0.01). Behavioral trajectory distances and movement
speeds exhibited by the 6th day of development in zebrafish in the
experimental group (gRNA+CasRx) were significantly shorter
(P<0.01) and lower (P<0.05) than the negative
control group (gRNA+CasRx), respectively. Conclusions: Data suggested
that the increased expression levels of DLX5 can inhibit brain volume
development and behavioral activities in zebrafish. Maybe the high
expression levels of DLX5 in the pathological state of PE can inhibit
the development of the nervous system in offspring.

Fractional-Order PID Controller Design on Buck Converter with Antlion Optimizer Algorithm
Authors: ghorbani mohammad javad , yosefi mahdi , ghamari Seyyed morteza , Mahdavipoor Ebrahim
Published: November 2022

A Fractional-order Proportional-Integrated-Derivative (FO-PID)
controller is designed for the Buck converter, which in the control
parameters are optimized by Antlion Optimization (ALO) algorithm. The
Fractional-Order concept is a beneficial scheme that can provide several
advantages such as lower sensitivity to parametric variation and noise.
Also, the ALO algorithm is a modern nature-inspired algorithm used to
tune the PID gains with better results under-constrained problems with
diverse search spaces. Considering numerous disturbance on power
converters, a FO-PID controller can be an appropriate alternative since
it has a good robustness against harmful disturbances and has simple
structure to be implemented in industrial applications. To better
examine the superiority of the proposed method, conventional FO-PID and
PID control techniques are also designed to be compared with this work.
Both simulation and experimental results verify the robustness of the
proposed method in different challenging scenarios.
A quantitative method for calculating spatial release region for laser-guided bomb
Authors: Yang Ping , Xiao Bing
Published: November 2022

The advantages of the laser-guided bomb (LGB) as an air-to-ground
precision-guided weapon are high hit rate, great power, and simplicity
of usage. LGB is guided by semi-active laser ground-seeking, therefore
the impact of the atmosphere can affect how well it hits its target.
LGB’s spatial release region (SRR) is challenging to calculate
precisely, especially with poor field of view, resulting in a lower real
hit probability. To increase the hit probability of LGB in tough
atmospheric situations, a novel method for calculating the SRR is
proposed. This method is based on the transmittance model of the 1.06 μm
laser in the atmospheric species and the laser diffuse reflection model
of the target surface to determine the capture target time of the laser
seeker. And then calculate the boundary ballistic space starting
position by ballistic model, and get the spatial scope of the spatial
release region. This method may determine the release region of
laser-guided bombs based on flight test data such as instantaneous
velocity, altitude, off-axis angle, and atmospheric visibility. The SRR
calculation method helped us improve the 9.2% hit probability of LGB by
more effectively employing aircraft release conditions, atmospheric
visibility, and other factors.

Traumatic Birth Experience with Cesarean Section and Breastfeeding Outcomes
Authors: OROVOU EIRINI , Eskitzis Panagiotis , Antoniou Evangelia
Published: November 2022

Introduction
A perinatal factor that appears to be highly correlated with postpartum PTSD is breastfeeding. There are several researchers who have studied the traumatic experience of birth and its impact on breastfeeding. More specifically, Türkmen in 2020 [1] reported a high correlation between Post Traumatic Stres Disorder (PTSD), traumatic perception of childbirth and low breastfeeding self-efficacy. According to the authors, the most important reason for low breastfeeding rates in PTSD postpartum women is the increased cortisol secretion, which suppresses oxytocin production resulting in reduced milk production. In another recent study published in 2018 [2], it is equally argued that postpartum PTSD can negatively affect the initiation and maintenance of lactation. It is a fact that a traumatic birth experience can create difficulties in breastfeeding from the beginning, and even undermine it completely. For example, in another study, mothers who had a complicated vaginal delivery or an Emergency Cesarean Section (EMCS) were more likely to suffer from PTSD and breastfeeding difficulties [3]. A possible explanation for this phenomenon was attempted by Beck in 2011 [4], describing how breastfeeding after a traumatic birth experience can trigger flashbacks to the traumatic birth and ultimately act as a deterrent to breastfeeding in the mother trying to avoid mental pain.
Unveiling the Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in Central Asia
Authors: Kasimov Ikboljon , Saydaliev Hayot Berk
Published: November 2022

Empirical studies on the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) and the nexus between FDI and economic growth have reached mixed ﬁndings, leading to a long-standing debate among policymakers and researchers. This study explores the determinants of FDI and examines the impact of FDI on economic growth in Central Asian developing countries during 2000-2020. The Prais—Winsten regression with panels corrected standard errors and IV-2SLS estimation results indicate that trade openness, natural resources, and market size are the main factors determining the FDI location decisions of foreign investors in Central Asia. The estimates for economic growth suggest that foreign direct investment, natural resources, human capital, and infrastructure have a positive and significant impact on economic growth. On the contrary, the effect of trade openness is surprisingly negative.

Published: November 2022

Background and Purpose. Health Care-Associated Infections, hereinafter abbreviated as HAIs, are infections that occur in patients during treatment in hospitals and other health care facilities where when they enter there are no infections and are not in the incubation period, including infections in the hospital but appear after patients returning home, as well as infections due to work for hospital staff and health workers related to the process of health services in health care facilities. Health Care-Associated Infection (HAIs) is a serious problem for all healthcare facilities worldwide, including in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of organizational culture, knowledge and motivation simultaneously or individually on the behavior of doctors in infection prevention and control. Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory causality research design. The technique of collecting data was using a questionnaire and tested using Path Analysis. Results: The research shows that the above confirms Lawrence's theory that a person's behavior in carrying out an activity wherein this study is infection prevention and control measures are determined by three factors, namely Predisposing factors (self-initiated factors), Enabling factors (enabling factors) and Reinforcing factors. (reinforcing factor). Implications: This research helps hospital management develop a more structured infection prevention and control committee (PPI) program and develop a reporting system for each action in infection prevention and control based on electronic or web.

Analysis of the Increase in Referrals to Specialists at Yayasan Kesehatan XYZ Regional III
Authors: Aman Adhiwinata , Basri Mursyid Hasan
Published: November 2022

The referral is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the process of giving support or transferring the patient's management to a higher level (Hort et al., 2019). Yayasan Kesehatan (Yakes) XYZ has clinics that provide primary health services and manage advanced health services for its participants. As a non-profit institution, Yakes XYZ focuses on cost efficiency while maintaining service quality. This study was conducted from 2020 to 2021 at Yakes XYZ Regional III. In 2021, the number of referrals to specialists increased by 39% compared to the previous year at the three clinics owned, which increased costs by 13% (y-o-y), thus providing a gap of Rp6,036,364,222 compared to the previous year. This increase was inversely proportional to the decrease in first-level outpatient visits by minus 2% in 2021. Referrals to specialists can occur after the patient has made a first-level outpatient visit to the clinic. According to the literature, it is known that four factors influence referrals to specialists, including the nature of the referral system policy, the nature of health problems, facilities and infrastructure, and then the general practitioner (GP)'s workload. This research used a quantitative approach and was conducted using the official secondary data from Yakes XYZ Regional III. Based on the analysis of the business situation at Yakes XYZ Regional III and the results from the hypothesis testing conducted, the author concluded root cause of the problem arose. The unclear referral policy, lack of offline service capacity, lack of GP competence, and unsupported facilities and infrastructure are the four root causes of increased referrals to specialists in 2021. Furthermore, the author makes several business solutions as recommendations to control the increase in referrals to specialists, aligning with efficiency in costs. The estimated cost that can be streamlined is Rp1,185,792,688.

Published: November 2022

This study was designed to find out the mediating role of interaction orientation in the relationship between strategic orientation and Small Medium (SMEs) performance in northeast Nigeria. Data was collected from a sample of 326 SME owner-managers in northeast Nigeria using questionnaire. The analysis was done with inferential statistics on Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) on Smart-PLS 3. The results revealed that interaction orientation mediates the relationship between each of entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation learning orientation, and technology orientation with SMEs’ performance. Without taking proper training and orientation measures for SME owner-managers on the application of entrepreneurial, market orientation, and technology jointly with interaction orientation in Nigeria, the country will continue to suffer from poor SMEs’ performance. It is recommended that special consideration should be given to interaction orientation because of its mediation effect on market orientation and SMEs performance.

The property insurance and casualty insurance sector are large insurance sector that protects or covers the stuff you own (like Home, car and trucks). The provider that provides or covers huge amount of coverage to properties (like cars, trucks, motorcycles and property), other constructions, accidents, vandalism, on theft etc. Casualty insurance is that the policy has the liability coverage to protect yourself if you are the one who is legally responsible for an accident that creates injuries to another party or creates damage to the other party’s appurtenances. The property and casualty insurance are combined together into one insurance product under a single policy. With the help of innovative technology growth, Property and Casualty Insurance Carriers are steadily using leading-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning, to avoid an intermediary between the insurer and the customer and directly reaching to the customers and make sure to deliver prompt and accurate services without any interruptions at an affordable cost. Among many examples, we can use one being an example is utilized of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning in the Property and Casualty insurance sector, which is leading towards to have a much greater number of use cases substantial as prevention of fraudulent claims, making fast and accurate business decisions, predictive data analytics, improve customer satisfaction and much more. Mainly this paper talks about emerging technologies like AI, ML which is used and adopted in Property Insurance and Casualty Insurance domain. Artificial Intelligence provides many benefits to insurance carriers, so carriers can improve their process to support their customers.
What is an AI: “AI is all about how the digitals and humans can collaborate; how digital can take over tasks they can do much better and faster than human, so human can focus on what only he can do.”

Published: November 2022

This paper presents the outcome of a theoretical and experimental study of the behavior of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) I-beams exposed to lateral-torsional instability or when subjected to biaxial bending. Laboratory experiments involved the application of vertical and horizontal static loads to a 4 x 4 x ¼ in. I-beam with various lengths and the resulting deflections were recorded. Governing biaxial flexure and torsion differential equations were modified to account for the presence of initial imperfections and subsequently solved using a central finite-difference scheme. The theoretical predictions of the beam behavior were found to be in good agreement with what was observed in the laboratory.

The harsh tropical climatic conditions and rapid deterioration of building strictly from soil have rendered one billion people in developing countries homeless. To alleviate this situation the effect of Palm oil mesocarp fibres was investigated on the thermal properties of cement-stabilized earth brick. Fibres were extracted and pretreated with warm distilled water at 100 °C diluted with 2% NaOH and oven dry at 105 °C for 24 hours. Sedimentary test, grain size, and elementary Analysis were conducted on the soil resulting in clayey soil which has a good insulation property. The soil was stabilized with 10% cement by mass reinforced with fibres. Nine different samples formulation of ten each were made with fibres content 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5% using a mold of size (100×100×50) mm and cured for 28 days. Thermal effusivity, volume calorific capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity of the samples were investigated using the tiny hot plate method and a computing algorithm estimation error. It resulted that the thermal effusivity, volume calorific capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity were 2.18242×103 J/M2K1/2 to 1.02716×103 J/M2K1/2, 2.64×106 J/M3K to 1.23×106 J/M3K, 1.81 W/mK to 0.82 W/Mk and 7.05×10-7 m2s-1 to 6.83×10-7 m2s-1 respectively with an optimal yield at 2.5% fibres concentration.

Authors: Shin Jiyoung , Kang Yuri , Kim Woonjung
Published: November 2022

In this study, to analyze and determine the bioactive compounds of red sword bean as natural ingredients for functional cosmetics, hot water extraction was performed with ethanol contents of 20%, 50%, and 80%. In addition, for the respective extracts, a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis for the determination of bioactive compounds and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis for the determination of polyphenol and flavonoid contents were performed along with the determination of antioxidant capacity. Moreover, experiments were performed to test the skin whitening and anti-wrinkle effects; a cytotoxicity evaluation was also conducted. As a result of the colorimetric assay, the lightness (L) value decreased with increasing ethanol content, whereas the redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values tended to increase. This is presumed to be because the active compounds of the double bond structure increased as the ethanol content increased. As a result of GC-MS analysis to determine chemical composition, the detection of ethyl gallate, an antioxidant, and mandelic acid, an active compound with whitening and wrinkle improvement effects, was confirmed; the detected concentrations increased with increasing ethanol content. In the experiment to examine the antioxidant effect of red sword bean extract, the IC50 value of the 80% ethanol extract showed a high antioxidant capacity comparable to that of the control, ascorbic acid. As a result of the tyrosinase inhibitory activity assay, the highest inhibition (%) was confirmed at 80% ethanol content. Furthermore, in the collagenase inhibitory activity assay, all extracts showed high collagenase inhibitory activity of over 90%. Specifically, at 20% ethanol content, a higher inhibition (%) was confirmed than that of the control, ascorbic acid.

For proper management of groundwater resources, estimation of groundwater recharge is crucial. Information on groundwater recharge is particularly important in dry areas where groundwater is continuously depleting. In this study, groundwater recharge was estimated at two locations in the dry, Barind area of Bangladesh using the applied tracer, water balance (WB) and water-table fluctuation (WTF) methods. In the WTF method, considerations for drinking and irrigation withdrawal were taken. For runoff estimation in the WB method, a modified form of the USDA-SCS method was used. The results revealed that the average yearly recharge at the Nachol location varied from 104.9–195.8 mm/year under different methods, having a mean of 136.1 mm/yr over the methods. At Niamatpur location, the recharge rate varied from 125.1 to 210 mm (9.9 – 15.1% of yearly rainfall) under different methods, having a mean of 157.6 mm/yr. On average, the WTF method produced the lowest estimate of recharge followed by WB method. Based on the local geological and hydrological settings and the suitability/limitations of the methods themselves, the tracer technique may be regarded as a reliable method for the study area. The information on recharge will help the ‘water resource agency’ and ‘policymakers’ to adjust pumping/irrigation schemes, avoid over-exploitation of the groundwater resource, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the resource in the area.

The paper is devoted to the study of a pulsed streamer discharge, similar to that in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. An experimental setup providing the formation of two ionization waves propagating in opposite directions from a region filled with a plasma formed by the capacitive discharge in low-pressure atmospheric air was created. In a physical experiment, the process of propagation of red ionization waves (streamers) was simulated. It was established that the average propagation velocities of their fronts correspond to those of red sprites. This was shown as a result of spectral studies that at air pressures of 0.4-3 Torr, the radiation color radiation observed visually and captured on an integral photograph from the region of passage of ionization waves is determined by the spectral transitions of the first positive system (FPS) of nitrogen molecules, similar to what occurs for red sprites. In this case, the spectral energy density of radiation in the most intense band of the second positive system (SPS) of the nitrogen molecule with a wavelength of 337.13 nm is an order of magnitude or higher than that in the most intense band of the FPS with the wavelength of 775.32 nm. Using the emission spectra and methods of optical emission spectroscopy (OES), the main parameters of the discharge plasma are estimated. Thus, the created setup makes it possible to simulate the process of the formation of red sprites propagating in opposite directions under laboratory conditions.
