Authors: Almak Zelal , Yavuz Yasemin
Published: April 2024

The purpose of these case reports is the aesthetic treatment of enamel defects using the resin infiltration method and conservative approach.
The treatment of three patients who came to our clinic complaining of an opaque enamel lesion in the upper anterior region is described. During oral examination, it was determined that the teeth were healthy but there were superficial and deep developmental defects. Before starting the restorative procedures, it was planned to treat the teeth using the resin infiltration method. The Icon infiltration technique, which has microinvasion technology, was applied in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Follow-up examinations were performed at 2, 6, 8 months and 1 year in 3 cases.
The most aesthetic results can be achieved in a short time by using the resin infiltration method and minimally invasive approaches. The micro abrasive technique is effective in superficial defects, but is insufficient in more advanced deep enamel defects. A combination of resin infiltration technique, composite resin restoration and bleaching procedures to treat increased opacity, discoloration and defects in the anterior teeth can result in a homogeneous and aesthetic appearance of the teeth.

Authors: Aliyev Emin
Published: April 2024

In order to demonstrate the immense value and actuality of the investigations done by forensic handwriting expertises in the determination of the psychophysiological traits that lead to criminal behaviour of the performer of handwritten texts, the article analysed 2648 handwritten text samples and gave a new classification of handwriting features by dividing them into three main distinct categories. Based on the detailed forensic study of these samples, the author reaffirms that each person’s handwriting is unique and unrepeatable and becomes subconsciously adopted to the individual’s physiology, psychology, natural geographical conditions, etc.  Hence, it is highly probable and realible to determine a person’s psychophysiological traits according to his/her handwriting even without seeing him/her personally. It was concluded that handwriting analysis has always been of urgent importance and necessity in preventing and fighting against various crimes and requieres great experience, habits and skills from a forensic handwriting expert.

Published: April 2024

Manusia sebagai makhluk ciptaan membutuhkan sarana membangun hubungan dengan penciptanya. Hal ini karena manusia adalah makhluk yang diciptakan untuk bergantung kepada Allah. Doa adalah sarana utama dalam menghubungkan manusia dengan Allah maka oleh karena itu makna doa menjadi sangat penting untuk dipahami dengan benar oleh orang-orang Kristen. Memahami makna doa menjadi sangat penting karena tidak sedikit orang-orang yang menjadi kecewa karena menganggap doanya tidak dijawab oleh Allah. Kekecewaan ini kemudian membuat orang yang tadinya bersemangat menyembah Allah kemudian beralih menjadi orang yang tidak percaya. Dalam beberapa kasus yang penulis jumpai ada jemaat yang tidak lagi beribadah di gereja karena merasa tidak layak karena Tuhan belum menjawab doanya ataupun karena merasa ditinggalkan Allah karena dosanya. Untuk menanggapi hal tersebut maka, perlu dipahami kembali makna doa dalam pandang Kristen yang dimana dalam tulisan ini penulis menggunakan Yakobus 5:16 sebagai dasar makna doa yang patut diteladani. Menggunakan pendekatan metode reader response penulis melakukan serangkaian kegiatan dalam memahami pandangan responden terhadap teks Yakobus 5:16. Melalui penelitian ini penulis dapat memahami pandangan para pembaca dalam mendeskripsikan tentang doa orang benar besar kuasanya. Setelah melakukan langkah-langkah tersebut maka penulis akhirnya menampilkan kesimpulan yang berupa makna doa yang dihasilkan dari versi pembaca. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi pembanding penelitian terdahulu karena merupakan tanggapan dari para pembaca.

Enhancing Intrinsic Motivation in Academic Settings: The Role of Self-Regulation Skills Interventions
Authors: Sarami Paria , Hojjati Marziyeh
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to investigate the effects of self-regulation skills (SRS) training on the intrinsic motivation of secondary school students. The primary objective was to determine whether an intervention focused on enhancing SRS skills could lead to significant improvements in students' intrinsic motivation over time. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a control group, involving 30 students (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) from a secondary school. The experimental group underwent an 8-week intervention program designed to improve their SRS training, while the control group received no such intervention. Intrinsic motivation was measured at three points: before the intervention (pre-test), immediately after (post-test), and four weeks following the intervention (follow-up), using a validated intrinsic motivation inventory. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance with repeated measurements indicated significant increases in intrinsic motivation scores from pre-test to post-test and from pre-test to follow-up in the experimental group. The control group, however, showed no significant changes over time. The interaction between time and group was also significant, suggesting that the intervention had a positive effect on enhancing intrinsic motivation among the experimental group participants. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing self-regulated learning strategies can have a positive impact on secondary school students' intrinsic motivation. The sustained improvement from post-test to follow-up indicates that the benefits of such interventions are not only immediate but also enduring.

Authors: Wang Tian , Syafiq Muhammad
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-session time management workshop designed to enhance academic self-efficacy among university students. It hypothesized that participants undergoing the workshop would demonstrate significant improvements in academic self-efficacy compared to a control group receiving no intervention. A randomized controlled trial design was employed, with 40 undergraduate students aged 18-25 years randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n=20) or a control group (n=20). The intervention group participated in an 8-session workshop, each lasting 75 minutes, covering various aspects of time management. Academic self-efficacy was measured using the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at a four-month follow-up. Data were analyzed using SPSS-27, employing repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni post-hoc tests to assess changes over time and between groups. The intervention group showed a significant increase in academic self-efficacy scores from baseline to post-intervention (Mean Diff. = 9.01, p < 0.01), which was maintained at the four-month follow-up. The control group, in contrast, showed no significant changes in their scores over time. The ANOVA revealed significant time (p < 0.01, η² = 0.20), group (p < 0.01, η² = 0.25), and time × group interaction effects (p < 0.01, η² = 0.22), indicating the workshop's effectiveness in enhancing academic self-efficacy. The time management workshop significantly enhanced academic self-efficacy among university students, with effects sustained over a four-month period. These findings suggest that structured time management interventions can be an effective strategy for improving students' academic self-belief and potentially their academic performance. Further research with larger and more diverse samples is recommended to generalize these findings.

Health Seeking Patterns among Tribal Women in Lahaul Spiti and Kinnaur Districts of Himachal Pradesh: Addressing Healthcare Challenges
Authors: Shweta Dogra
Published: April 2024

The present study investigates the health seeking behaviour of tribal women in the remote regions of Lahaul Spiti and Kinnaur. It emphasizes the role of supply side factors as key determinants in healthcare access. Despite governmental efforts to enhance healthcare reach, our study uncovers significant shortcomings that adversely affect service quality. Through primary survey and focus group discussions, the study explores the challenges faced by tribal women. These challenges include a constantly changing roster of medical professionals, limited access to experienced doctors, and a notable lack of specialized care, especially in gynaecology. The frequent dysfunction of vital diagnostic tools forces local residents to undertake long, costly journeys for medical care, leading to potential delays in receiving treatment. The study also observes the prevalent use of traditional medicine, deeply ingrained in local traditions, serving as both a supplement and an alternative to the mainstream healthcare system. This research sheds light on how these deficiencies in supply side healthcare, compounded by environmental and infrastructural barriers, influence the health related decisions of women, often pushing them towards alternative treatments and increasing their socio economic strain. The findings emphasize the urgent need for an integrated approach to bridge the healthcare gap and ensure the provision of quality medical services to these isolated and vulnerable communities.

Authors: Zhang Yu , Chen Ruizhi , Huang Jing
Published: April 2024

Artificial intelligence, as the core driving force of the new round of technological revolution and industrial change, has far-reaching impact on current social employment and structure. This study, based on the data of provincial industrial robots, explores the impact of artificial intelligence on employment. Through literature review, it is found that artificial intelligence has impact on the labor market, which may lead to changes in employment scale, employment structure, and income distribution. The study uses panel data model to analyze the impact of artificial intelligence development on employment scale and structure in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government) of China from 2010 to 2019. The results show that the development of artificial intelligence has a significant promoting effect on the employment scale in China, and also affects the employment structure towards “high-end” direction, but there is also a spillover effect towards “polarization”. In addition, the study finds that artificial intelligence has different effects on the employment of labor with different skills, promoting the employment of high-skilled labor in the manufacturing industry and inhibiting the employment of low-skilled labor, leading to a trend of high-end employment structure in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, the study proposes some prospects and suggestions for the impact of artificial intelligence on the social employment structure, in order to promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry, and achieve efficient intelligent production and optimal adjustment of employment structure. Through in-depth analysis of this study, important reference basis is provided for the current social issues facing the impact of artificial intelligence.

Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm based on Position Vector Offset
Authors: Yu Chengcheng , Zhao Laijun
Published: April 2024

In response to the issue that particle swarm optimization algorithms tend to fall into local optima when dealing with multi-objective optimization tasks, a multi-objective optimization algorithm based on particle swarm is proposed. This algorithm is based on the relationship between the position vectors of particles, changing the selection and movement strategies of particles to find the true Pareto front. Firstly, two additional position vectors are added around the iterating particles to enhance their search capability; then, a non-dominated vector archive is established to record the non-dominated solutions of the iterating particles and the additional position vectors, increasing particle diversity. Finally, additional position vectors with high fitness are selected to produce a shift in the iterating particle's position, accelerating particle convergence. Comparing this algorithm with dMOPSO, SMPSO, NMPSO, and MOPSOCD algorithms, simulation experiments show that the proposed PVSPSO algorithm has stronger optimization ability.

Authors: Liang Shiqin , Wang Yuhang , Guo Yanbo
Published: April 2024

Jurassic strata in Tarim are significant for their hydrocarbon-rich content. However, the distribution of hydrocarbon source rocks in this region is uneven, and the conditions for hydrocarbon accumulation vary significantly among the different structural elements. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the distribution of Jurassic source rocks, the evolution history of hydrocarbon generation, and the mechanisms influencing hydrocarbon accumulation for effective hydrocarbon exploration and development. To achieve this, seismic, geologic, drilling, logging, and testing data were integrated to analyze the distribution and quality of hydrocarbon source rocks, the evolution of hydrocarbon generation, and the factors influencing hydrocarbon accumulation in Jurassic hydrocarbon source rocks in Tarim Basin. The study revealed that the Jurassic effective hydrocarbon source rock centers are mainly located in the piedmont areas of Kuqa depression, southwest depression, and southeast depression, as well as Yingjisu sag and Manjiaer sag in the eastern Tarim area. Based on a comprehensive evaluation and comparison of the potential of Jurassic hydrocarbon potential in each secondary structural unit, it is concluded that Kuqa Depression has the most favorable exploration zone due to its excellent hydrocarbon accumulation conditions and abundant hydrocarbon resources. Although the overall exploration potential of the southwest depression is lower than that of the Kuqa depression, the hydrocarbon resources potential of the piedmont thrust belt and the associated depression is very high. Similarly, the eastern part of the Manjiaer sag and the Altun piedmont zone of the southeastern depression still have promising exploration prospects, although the overall exploration potential of the eastern Tarim area and the southeastern depression is not as good as the former two.

Authors: Huang Yingjun , Zhang Linchao , Ren Dahua , Wei Sijiang
Published: April 2024

In order to reveal the stress distribution law of the anchorage body during the drawing process, through the analysis and research on the anchoring mechanism of the anchor rod, it is found that the bonding mechanism of the interface between the anchor rod and the anchoring material is mainly determined by three factors : bonding force, mechanical interlocking and friction force. The bonding mechanism of the anchorage material-surrounding rock interface is mainly determined by two factors : bonding force and friction force. Then, the mechanical model of anchorage body is established, and the distribution equations of axial force and interfacial shear stress of anchorage body are obtained by theoretical analysis. The axial force and shear stress curves are obtained by substituting the relevant parameters. It is found that the axial force and interfacial shear stress curves are exponentially decreasing. The axial force of the bolt is approximately equal to the load applied on the bolt, and at the end of the anchorage, the axial force approaches zero.

Cavernous carotid aneurysms (CCAs) differ from other intracranial aneurysms in that most are asymptomatic and are generally considered benign as there is a low risk of rupture. More common than complications from rupture are complications from the mass effect of the aneurysm itself on nearby structures.1,2 This report describes a case of a giant right CCA that progressed in size despite multiple surgical repairs that resulted in near- complete ophthalmoplegia and neurotrophic keratitis which led to a perforated corneal ulcer and subsequent enucleation.
Seronegative Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Case Report.
Authors: Nauman Ismat Butt
Published: April 2024

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic rheumatologic childhood disorder of unknown etiology usually presenting with peripheral arthritis. Usually involving the small joints symmetrically, polyarticular JIA is characterized by involvement of 5 or more peripheral joints and is further categorized depending on RA Factor positivity. We aim to report a case of seronegative polyarticular JIA to increase awareness regarding this disease. A 15-year-old boy presented with 3-month history of bilateral symmetrical joint pains, swelling and morning stiffness lasting 3-4 hours. For his ankle and knee pain, he had consulted a local doctor who suspected Rheumatic Fever and started penicillin and analgesics resulting in minimal improvement. He was a student but was unable to attend school in last 2 months due to this illness and had become bed-bound for last 2 weeks. On examination, there was swelling and tenderness of ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints bilaterally. On investigation, ESR, CRP and serum ferritin were raised with normal complete blood count, urinalysis, liver and renal function tests, ASO test, blood and urine cultures, TSH, serum CPK and serum aldolase. Echocardiography did not reveal any abnormalities. His ANA, RA factor and Anti-CCP antibodies were negative. He was diagnosed with Seronegative Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and started on oral prednisolone and methotrexate. Currently the patient is asymptomatic on methotrexate 20mg/week. Our patient with symmetrical polyarthritis had negative ANA, RA Factor and Anti-CCP antibodies leading to a diagnosis of seronegative polyarticular JIA. Early screening and prompt management of JIA is required to improve prognosis and reduce risk of disability. The differential diagnosis of childhood joint pains is wide and variable including diseases of autoimmune, cardiac and haematological systems. For diagnosis of JIA, arthritis persisting for more than 6 weeks with onset of symptoms prior to 16 years of age is required with exclusion of secondary causes of joint inflammation.

In this study, Malaysian X (formerly Twitter) users’ views were examined on COVID-19 vaccination. The specific objectives were to identify issues that were important to X users, and identify changes in views on COVID-19 vaccination. Tweets were collected from 1 January to 31 December 2021; altogether 5,766 tweets (199,900 words) were collected, and 150 tweets (5,200 words) were systematically selected for analysis. Thematic analysis showed that the tweets were more concerned about administration of the COVID-19 vaccine (56.7%) than its impact (35.3%) or COVID-19 control measures (8%). Positive sentiments increased during the 12 months. In Phase 1 (1 January–23 February 2021), the public were uncertain and sceptical while waiting for vaccination. In Phase 2 (24 February–24 September 2021) when vaccination was underway, the tweets reflected an informed stance, and X users were even proactive in promoting vaccination benefits and correcting misinformation. By Phase 3 (25 September–31 December 2021) when vaccination for teenagers and s booster shot program began, there was a dilemma of wanting to return to normal life vis-à-vis prioritizing health and safety. The study data indicated more anti- than pro-vaccination tweets, but the X community had self-correcting mechanisms when vaccine hesitancy surfaced.
Navigating the Academic Maze

Academic advising is an integral component of higher education that impacts student achievement, university retention, and graduation rates. Given the current competitive arena in Thai higher education, advising plays an increasingly critical role in students’ and universities’ success. However, advising is a complex process, and what actually occurs, with whom, when, and where is complicated. Furthermore, little is known of the current state of advising in Thai higher education as in the extant literature there are as yet no articles in English on the subject. The present article presents an auto-ethnographic reflection of the author’s lived experience in conducting advising at a university in Thailand between 2020 and 2022. The purposes of this article were to shed light on the current state of advising in Thai higher education by sharing the author’s lived experience, and to connect this experience to broader issues in advising at Thai universities. Suggestions are given to further the professionalization and quality of advising in Thai higher education, including a call for a paradigmatic shift from a traditional, prescriptive approach to a developmental, holistic one. Given the lack of English literature on advising in Thailand, this paper provides needed insights into the subject.
