Automatic extraction of mechanical interlocking features from CAD model
Authors: Das Shantanu Kumar
Published: June 2022

This paper represents, classifies, and automatic extracts the mechanical interlocking features (MIFs) from the CAD model. Mechanical interlocking features (MIFs) are geometric features of two or more components when physically interlock that prevent the relative movement in any or certain directions. A set of contact faces in proximity and their characteristic arrangement are used to represent the MIFs. This characteristics arrangement of contact faces and their topological relationships help in classification of MIFs. It is very difficult to manually extract the large number of MIFs from CAD models. It is therefore desirable to develop a set of algorithms to extract the MIFs from CAD model. CAD assembly models from industrial domain has been used in order to validate the proposed approach.

Authors: Verma Ramesh Kumar , Upadhyay Rajeev Kumar , Rizvi Syed Asghar Husain
Published: June 2022

The present model portrays the quality of surface machined and wire offset during wire-EDM of Die Steel D3 using zinc-coated brass wire. Taguchi approach is employed, and the orthogonal array was developed using peak current, pulse on duration, and wire tension as the machining parameters. Dependency of wire EDM factors over surface roughness and wire offset was assessed. It was found that the roughness of the machined surface is majorly controlled by on duration of the pulse. For wire offset, the current is the crucial electrical parameter. Higher intensity sparks induce a dimensional shift in the work.

Published: June 2022

Cognitive radio and complex spectrum connectivity are two other phenomena that influence the world of wireless networking. We have developed an experimental cognitive radio simulation system to research the role of information representation and reasoning technologies. A traditional radio often follows the same protocol when working in a certain contact mode and is effective or failing at a specified task. GPS has become a popular vehicular technology with an adaptation of 4G & 5G infrastructure. The GPS includes details on the current location and positioning of every vehicle. Some plans require the use of local wireless networks close to computer networking. Other recommendations include taking advantage of existing wireless networks to exchange this info. The reasons for the transmitted system rely on the frequency spectrum to be used. The paper aims to construct and first available allocation spectrum for transmission of emergency messages between vehicles and vehicles to infrastructure environments.
Role of Embedded System for X-Ray comparison of lungs to detect a COVID-19 affected person at the entry point of Aerodromes, Railway Stations and Metro Stations in perspective of India.
Authors: Nasir Sherry , Verma Ashish
Published: June 2022

Nowadays, the biggest threat to mankind is COVID-19. This is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-Co V-2. It is must to control and stop the spreading of this disease. This paper is proposed to control the spread of this pandemic at the entry point of railway stations, metro stations, and aerodromes. The testing of COVID-19 is the most significant remedy to control, contain and reduce the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper proposes an embedded system design, which can be used at the entry point of aerodromes, railway stations, and metro stations, especially from an Indian perspective. This system can be used to analyze x-ray results of the lungs of the passenger who is entering the railway stations, aerodromes, and metro stations. The proposed system comprises a portable X-ray machine and an embedded system which consists of a Raspberry Pi Board ( Model B), that will be interfaced with a data input module, SD card slot, display monitor at HDMI port, LEDs, and buzzers. The system compares the passenger's X-ray image at the entry point of railway stations, aerodromes, and metro stations with the X-ray image of a COVID-19 patient, which is already stored in the SD card. If the similarity is found between the X-ray image taken at entry and the X-ray of a COVID-19 patient, at that moment, buzzers and LEDs will be activated. This system can be very much useful to restrict the spreading of infection of COVID-19.

Current carbon emission trends threaten inevitable and irreversible changes to the environment that could cost the region US$100 billion annually by 2050 and the loss of up to 2.5 million jobs by 2030. Climate change affects us all. However, women, indigenous peoples, African descendants, and persons with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to the environmental, economic, and social disruptions caused by climate change. At the same time, these groups are decisive agents of change for the mitigation of climate change and the transition to a green and sustainable economy. This document presents evidence of the challenges faced by these populations, as well as the main opportunities and lessons learned about their role in the transition to a zero net carbon future in the region.
Música y política en la composición cinematográfica de Hanns Eisler
Authors: Hervás Muñoz Marina
Published: June 2022

En este artículo se propone un doble itinerario: por un lado, analizar el cruce entre la cultura musical y la crisis de la sociedad burguesa en el pensamiento de Hanns Eisler, publicado en Musik und Politik (1973, 1982 y 1983). Por otro lado, se considerará su trabajo compositivo fundamentalmente, en Kuhle Wampe (Slatan Dudow, 1932) y Hangmen Also Die! (Fritz Lang, 1943). La elección de los ejemplos obedece a los siguientes motivos: la primera data del año antes del ascenso del nazismo, lo que permite rastrear la línea de trabajo previa al exilio norteamericano y se nutre de la experiencia de Eisler en Berlín, profundamente influenciada por la lucha obrera y, en concreto, su participación en los coros de trabajadores. La segunda fue realizada ya en Hollywood, a la vez que Eisler trabajaba con Adorno en el Film Music Project (financiado por la Fundación Rockefeller). Ambos ejemplos permiten rastrear la deriva práctica (y sus posibles desvíos) de su compromiso político.
Espadachines y Femme fatale: Codificación de género en Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) de John Williams
Authors: Powel Conor
Published: June 2022

A pesar de haber cabalgado hacia el crepúsculo, tanto literalmente en la pantalla como en el sentido figurado, en 1989, el aventurero arqueólogo favorito de Hollywood, regresó en 2008 en Indiana Jones y el reino de la calavera de cristal. La partitura de John Williams siguió recreándose en los estilos y códigos de referencia nostálgica que se encuentran en las películas de clase de B las décadas de 1940 y 1950. Además de volver sobre dilectos motivos, el compositor escribió nuevos temas para personajes que, en parte, hicieron progresar los roles de género tradicionales de la franquicia. Este artículo examina cómo la partitura neoclásica de Williams persiste en los códigos rígidos de género del antiguo Hollywood, a expensas de formar identidades temáticas menos relacionadas con arquetipos tradicionales.
Procesos de creación musical en un pasaje de la serie de animación brasileña Oswaldo
Authors: Nogueira Kezo
Published: June 2022

Este artículo analiza el proceso creativo de composición musical de un pasaje de la serie brasileña de animación Oswaldo, exhibida desde 2017 y dirigida por Pedro Eboli y Antonio Linhares. Propongo investigar qué relaciones están implicadas en el proceso. Así, analizaremos, aunque brevemente, los principales procedimientos que componen la cadena de producción de la composición. Para ello, abordaremos autores para proponer aproximaciones teóricas relativas a la praxis de composición, con énfasis en una mirada sobre la tecnología musical y sobre la amplitud de las relaciones de producción. De ese modo, veremos que el proceso creativo de composición musical está inserto en una práctica más amplia, que debe considerar todos los agentes involucrados, no solamente al compositor.
Los vídeos musicales de Madonna como performances audiovisuales. Cuarenta años de cultura popular
Authors: Stramaglia Massimiliano , Farina Tommaso
Published: June 2022

En los últimos años, el concepto de performance ha adquirido un valor cada vez más específico en referencia a las cuestiones de educación, evaluación y percepción. Es una palabra que hace referencia no solo a las actuaciones que llevamos a cabo en caso necesario, sino también al mundo del espectáculo, donde la música y la visión se combinan para generar eventos sensacionales y la magia de la ficción. En Society of the Spectacle, escrito por Guy Debord en 1967, el autor afirmaba que el espectáculo se ha convertido en “parte integrante de nuestra propia existencia”: este hecho era cierto en su momento y lo sigue siendo hoy. Sin embargo, en la era visual contemporánea, estamos hiperconectados y transformados en “imágenes sonoras” proyectadas en nuestras pantallas, faltando nuestra parte humana-relacional. La carrera de Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone comenzó a principios de los años 80 del siglo XX y aún no ha terminado. Durante estos cuarenta años, Madonna ha construido una innovadora “poética de la performance”, estudiada por muchos sociólogos a nivel internacional.
Significantes intertextuales en la banda sonora de Bernardo Bonezzi: paradigma del cine de Pedro Almodóvar
Authors: Buljančević Rastko
Published: June 2022

A pesar de su reconocible habilidad compositiva, Bernardo Bonezzi no escapó a la influencia de los grandes compositores tanto clásicos como cinematográficos. Así, varias de sus obras, especialmente las del cine de Pedro Almodóvar, están muy arraigadas en el lenguaje compositivo de Nino Rota, Bernard Hermann, Erik Satie e Igor Stravinski. Primero, han sido identificadas las referencias musicales prestadas y, luego, su reubicación en un nuevo contexto sociohistórico, geográfico y cultural-ideológico. Se analiza de forma detallada el empleo del vals nombrado “¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto?”, compuesto bajo el entrelazamiento intertextual de la banda sonora de diversas películas de culto. Este artículo aborda un nuevo método analítico donde el uso de los recursos sonoros preexistentes adquiere un nuevo significado: el sensorial y el afectivo además del conceptual. De esta forma resulta útil descifrar las cadenas de significantes intertextuales en la música bonezziana y determinar si entre ellas convive una voz auténtica del autor.

The three-dimensional perception applications have been growing since Light Detection and Ranging devices have become more affordable. On those applications, the navigation and collision avoidance systems stand out for their importance in autonomous vehicles, which are drawing an appreciable amount of attention these days. The on-road object classification task on three-dimensional information is a solid base for an autonomous vehicle perception system, where the analysis of the captured information has some factors that make this task challenging. On these applications, objects are represented only on one side, its shapes are highly variable and occlusions are commonly presented. But the highest challenge comes with the low resolution, which leads to a significant performance dropping on classification methods. While most of the classification architectures tend to get bigger to obtain deeper features, we explore the opposite side contributing to the implementation of low-cost mobile platforms that could use low-resolution detection and ranging devices. In this paper, we propose an approach for on-road objects classification on extremely low-resolution conditions. It uses directly three-dimensional point clouds as sequences on a transformer-convolutional architecture that could be useful on embedded devices. Our proposal shows an accuracy that reaches the 89.74 % tested on objects represented with only 16 points extracted from the Waymo, Lyft's level 5 and Kitti datasets. It reaches a real time implementation (22 Hz) in a single core processor of 2.3 Ghz.

In recent years, vision-based object detection has made great progress across different fields. For instance, in the field of automobile manufacturing, welding detection is a key step of weld inspection in wheel production. The automatic detection and positioning of welded parts on wheels can improve the efficiency of wheel hub production. At present, there are few deep learning based methods to detect vehicle wheel welds. In this paper, a method based on YOLO v4 algorithm is proposed to detect vehicle wheel welds. The main contributions of the proposed method are the use of k-means to optimize anchor box size, a Distance-IoU loss to optimize the loss function of YOLO v4, and non-maximum suppression using Distance-IoU to eliminate redundant candidate bounding boxes. These steps improve detection accuracy. The experiments show that the improved methods can achieve high accuracy in vehicle wheel weld detection (4.92 % points higher than the baseline model with respect to AP75 and 2.75 % points higher with respect to AP50). We also evaluated the proposed method on the public KITTI dataset. The detection results show the improved method’s effectiveness.

Videoendoscopic and tomographic research are the two leading medical imaging solutions for detecting, classifying and characterizing a wide array of pathologies and conditions. However, source information from these types of research is very different, making it hard to cross-correlate them. The paper proposes a novel algorithm for combining results of based on 3D surface reconstruction methods. This approach allows to align separate parts of two input 3D surfaces: surface obtained by applying bundle adjustment-based 3D surface reconstruction algorithm to the endoscopic video sequence, and surface reconstructed directly from separate tomographic cross-section slice projections with regular density. Proposed alignment method is based on using local feature extractor and descriptor algorithms by applying them to the source surface normal maps. This alignment allows both surfaces to be equalized and normalized relative to each other. Results show that such an adjustment allows to reduce noise, correct reconstruction artifacts and errors, increase representative quality of the resulting model and establish correctness of the reconstruction for hyperparameter tuning.

Published: June 2022

Background: Blastocystis sp., is a prevalent protist isolated from humans and animals, which its opportunistic role in immunocompromised patients is still controversial. The current study aimed to evaluate the subtype and alleles distribution of Blastocystis sp., among immunocompromised patients.
Methods: Totally, 33 microscopically Blastocystis-positive stool samples, isolated from Guilan province during April 2018 to May 2019 were investigated. Total DNA extraction was performed and the barcoding region of the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene was amplified. Targeted fragments were sequenced to characterize subtypes and relevant alleles. Phylogenetic tree was constructed using Maximum-likelihood and Tamura 3-parameter to illustrate the correlation between subtypes and certain immunodeficiency.
Results: Subtype analysis revealed the presence of ST1, ST2, ST3, and ST7 among 13/33 (39.4%), 5 (15.2%), 14/33 (42.4%), and 1/33 (3%), of samples, respectively. ST1 was the major subtype among cancer patients 5/7 (71.42%), while ST3 was the predominant subtype among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients 3/6 (50%), internal ward patients 5/10 (50%), and asthma and allergy patients 2/3 (66.66%). ST7 was isolated from a patient hospitalized in internal ward. No significant correlation was seen between the type of immunodeficiency and subtypes (P-value = 0.771). The phylogenetic tree showed no separation regarding the type of immunodeficiency.
Conclusion: Among studied immunocompromised patients, ST3 was the most prevalent subtype followed by ST1. There was no specific correlation between subtypes and alleles with type of immunodeficiency. Putative zoonotic alleles were highlighted the probability of zoonotic transmission for Blastocystis sp.

Published: June 2022

Background: Freshwater snails serve as intermediate hosts for a variety of trematodes that cause illness in the human and animal populations. Several species of freshwater snails in Thailand have been found to have larval trematode infections. We aimed to investigate a freshwater snail in Phitsanulok Province and report on its current status of larval trematode infection.
Methods: Freshwater snails were collected from six localities (rice field and irrigation canal) by handpicking and using a count per unit of time sampling approach. The snails were identified by their external shell morphology. The shedding method was applied to observe the cercariae, which were photographed under a light microscope to determine their morphological types.
Results: A total of 211 snails were classified into seven genera. The most abundant snail species was Lymnaea sp., representing 31.3% of the sample, followed by Physella sp., Bithynia sp., Pomacea canaliculata, Filopaludina martensi, Indoplanorbis exustus, and Melanoides tuberculata, in that order. From the sample, 21 snails (9.95%), including Bithynia sp., Lymnaea sp., I. exustus, and M. tuberculata, were infected with cercarial trematodes, which could be categorized into four types, namely amphistome, parapleurolophocercous, echinostome, and xiphidiocercaria. Amphistome emerged from Bithynia sp., and I. exustus was the most common cercaria to be recovered, representing 80.9% of all infected snails.
Conclusion: This study presents the current prevalence of cercariae in infected snails within the studied area. It is important to manage intermediate host snails in order to restrict trematode life cycle completion.
​Clinical Study on Penicillin Anaphylaxis and Role of Oxidative Stress and Pro-inflammatory Markers: An Implication for Therapy
Authors: Nabi Showkat Ul , Haq Abrar Ul , Muzammil Showkeen , Makeen Hafiz Antar , Bratty Mohammed Al , Khan Andleeb
Published: June 2022

Background: Penicillin belongs to the β-Lactam group of antibiotics which is used as a first-line drug in veterinary medicine. The occurrence of penicillin anaphylaxis and its pathophysiology is rarely reported in ruminants. Methods: In the present study, oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory response were investigated in 4 cases (Jersey crossbred) of penicillin hypersensitivity by assessing oxidative stress biomarkers and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Animals in the current experimental plan were divided into three groups, group I included penicillin hypersensitive (n=4), group II included penicillin tolerant (n=6) and group III (n=10), included healthy control animals. Result: Mean values of temperature, heart rate and respiration were significantly (p less than 0.05) elevated in the penicillin-sensitive group compared to the penicillin tolerant and control group. The present study revealed significantly (p less than 0.05) elevated levels of lipid peroxidation (MDA), xanthine oxidase (XO), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), while as levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were significantly reduced in the penicillin-sensitive group. Levels of G6PD showed significant positive correlation with GPx (r=0.54, P less than 0.001) and catalase (r=0.34, P less than 0.05) while as significant negative correlation with XO (r=0.39, P less than 0.05) was observed. Collectively, these findings indicate that the pathophysiology of penicillin hypersensitivity involves anti-oxidant imbalance and enhanced pro-inflammatory response and targeting these pathways can have therapeutic implications for penicillin hypersensitivity.

Published: June 2022

With the rampant boom in faecal sludge (FS) collection and management in line with Indian government’s agenda, quite a few urban local
bodies (ULBs) in Telangana such as Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) initiated into establishing faecal sludge treatment
plant (FSTP) in collaboration with experienced private technology partners such as Banka BioLoo Limited. FSTPs were so designed with
minimal mechanical components to regularize it as a popular choice for rural and sub-urban. The GeoTube based technology makes use
of an organic flocculant to maximize the floc formation and thereby the water recovery. Post-flocculation the sludge is fed into a semi
permeable polypropylene trap (GeoTube®) with a pore size of 0.3 mm. The method of dewatering the septage with the aid of GeoTube
was so designed to ensure greater than 98% efficacy. Ultimately, the above effluent gets polished with a series of tertiary units such as
pressure sand filter, activated carbon filter, UV disinfection, etc. The permeate meets the inland water disposal standards and is used
to maintain the green belt in and around the plant. The trapped biosolids are self-composted for more than two months inside the
filled tubes. Further, the debagged material is analyzed to ensure compliance with physico-chemical, metallic, and pathogenic limits.
Afterward, the final materials pulverized, packed, and distributed amid the local farmers to be used as a soil conditioner. The FSTP has
been successfully running for about two years now and has to date treated more than 2 million liters of septage of which recycled
almost 1500 kL of water and 35 tons of biosolids.
Net Primary Productivity and Budget of Nitrogen and
Phosphorus in the Herbaceous Layer of a Tropical Dry
Deciduous Forest in Rajasthan in Northwest India
Authors: Yadav Atar Singh , Yadav Rajesh Kumar
Published: June 2022

The net primary productivity and budget of total nitrogen and available phosphorus in the herbaceous layer was studied in a tropical
dry deciduous thorn forest in Rajasthan state of north-western India. The average net primary productivity of the herbaceous layer
was 242 g m-2yr-1, it was the highest (257 g m-2 yr-1) at the top and the lowest (218 g m-2 yr-1) at the middle of the hill slope. Out of
the herbaceous species present in the study site, 29 species contributed more than 1 g m-2 biomass with the highest contribution by
Brachiaria ramosa (54%) and Achyranthes aspera (44%). The herbs allocated about 10 and 90% of total biomass to roots and above-ground
parts, respectively. The highest content of nitrogen in the soil, biomass, and litter was 181, 3.4, and 1.7 g m-2, respectively, during the
rainy season in July. A similar pattern was observed for phosphorus. The annual uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus by vegetation was
3.84 g m-2 and 0.76 g m-2 ; 19 and 16%, respectively, return to the soil through litterfall. Before the litterfall occurred, the nitrogen, a vital
element was translocated into below-ground parts. This is a strong strategy for the conservation of nitrogen. Phosphorus, however, did
not show such a trend. This interesting observation of the study strongly indicated that a sufficient amount of nutrients are retained in
the litter during the dry summer period.
Assessment of Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Potential of Heavy
Metals in Plants: A Review
Authors: Mishra Kumkum
Published: June 2022

Heavy metal stress is one of the major problems affecting the agricultural productivity of plants. Soil is contaminated by heavy metals,
such as, Cd, Cr, Pb, Hg, and As. Plants suffer from oxidative stress upon exposure to heavy metals and lead to cellular damage. Heavy
metals induce clastogenecity, aneugenicity, recombinogenicity, gene mutation, and DNA damage. There are several genetic endpoints
that can be used as biomarkers of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity, e.g., comet assays, micronuclei frequency, meiotic analysis, mitotic
analysis, and chromosomal aberrations. Plants are very useful in environmental monitoring and assessment as they provide a very wide
range of genetic endpoints. They may be used as biosensors of the genetic toxicity of environmental pollutants.

La historia de la representación audiovisual de los indígenas en México y su dimensión lingüística
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Unidad Cuajimalpa, Arroyo Quiroz Claudia
Published: June 2022

Los medios audiovisuales han jugado un papel muy importante en los procesos de construcción de discursos sobre la nación, la cultura y la identidad, en diversos contextos históricos. En el caso de México, el cine fue un medio clave para la expresión del discurso nacionalista que predominó en el periodo postrevolucionario, entre los años 1930s y los 1950s. En el cine se plasmó la inquietud por definir los rasgos de la cultura nacional y de la identidad de los mexicanos y, a la vez, se representó a los grupos que, de acuerdo con el paradigma nacionalista, no encajaban dentro de esa identidad nacional, entre los que se encontraban los indígenas. Este ensayo hace una semblanza de la historia de la representación audiovisual de los indígenas en México desde el periodo postrevolucionario hasta la actualidad y revisa la manera en que los usos del habla operaron en ciertas etapas del cine indigenista y del audiovisual indígena.

En 2017 se celebró el primer centenario de la caída del zar Nicolás II y el inicio de la Revolución rusa; en México se conmemoró la proclamación de la tercera Constitución Política y se cumplieron, también, cien años del nacimiento de Juan Nepomuceno Pérez Rulfo Vizcaíno, autor de dos de los libros más célebres de la literatura mexicana. Entre las múltiples actividades que se realizaron, TV UNAM trasmitió –entre septiembre y octubre de 2017– la serie documental Cien años con Juan Rulfo, que dirigió Juan Carlos Rulfo y coprudujeron La Media Luna Producciones y el Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía con guion de Marina Stavenhagen. La serie sólo se pudo ver en algunos recintos, hasta que en el otoño de 2021 llegó a la plataforma de Amazon. El misterio que ha rodeado la vida del creador nacido en Apulco (Tuxcacuesco), a unos 180 km. al sur de Guadalajara, el prestigio de su obra literaria y, en las últimas décadas, su obra fotográfica, la influencia que sigue teniendo su literatura en las artes y las humanidades, son razones suficientes para que las grandes audiencias se acerquen a Cien años con Juan Rulfo.

Great Introspections: How and Why SoTL Looks Inward
Authors: Poole Gary , Chick Nancy
Published: June 2022

Over its 10-year history, many pages of Teaching & Learning Inquiry have been devoted to explorations that feature introspection. At this moment as the journal’s founding co-editors, we look at how introspection manifests itself in many ways in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). We propose a taxonomy to help us appreciate some of the forms introspection might take and explore some of the benefits and challenges inherent in committing to introspection as a value. Ultimately, we argue that introspection is a pillar of SoTL.
Implodindo a colonialidade

Published: June 2022

Se outrora a Academia chegou a ser rejeitada por atores sociais relacionados à constituição do modernismo, após o advento da arte contemporânea, a universidade tem sido um espaço importante aos processos de legitimação de artistas e demais profissionais da arte. Em pesquisa anterior, pode-se constatar que artistas visuais que têm logrado ser selecionados(as/es) em editais voltados a jovens artistas, em geral, possuem um alto grau de escolaridade. Ademais, é nas últimas décadas que, no Brasil, a população negra tem obtido maior entrada no âmbito universitário; um reflexo de políticas públicas que visaram estabelecer equidade para indivíduos pertencentes as camadas marginalizadas de uma sociedade profundamente desigual. Destarte, este artigo focaliza a produção acadêmica de artistas negras brasileiras, por meio da análise de suas teses. Isto porque a pesquisa parte do entendimento de que o universo da arte, sendo parte da sociedade, possui regras tanto inclusivas quanto excludentes, favorecendo a legitimação de alguns indivíduos em detrimento de outros. A pesquisa objetiva, então, compreender os efeitos de tais processos na legitimação de artistas negrodescendentes. Ao focalizar a produção acadêmica de três artistas, Janaina Barros, Maria Cecília Felix Calaça e Renata Felinto, objetiva-se compreender e pormenorizar as suas narrativas acerca de seus trabalhos, o campo da arte e a sociedade envolvente.
O saber artesanal de Gilda de Mello e Souza

Neste artigo defendemos que a formação intelectual de Gilda de Mello e Souza deu-se de maneira artesanal, refinando assim a caracterização geral, elaborada por Heloisa Pontes, em Destinos mistos (1998), de que os principais integrantes do grupo Clima detinham um conhecimento especializado. Para tanto, levantamos alguns dados biográficos de Gilda e discutimos três situações coletivas, a saber, gênero, locus e geração, articulando-os com a sua produção ficcional e crítica, a fim de mostrar, de modo introdutório, que tanto sua formação intelectual foi assistemática e suas “ferramentas” de análise foram desprezadas academicamente, quanto foi tardio o reconhecimento de seu pensamento.

Background: Oral candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection of the oral cavity caused by an overgrowth of the Candida species, in particular, Candida albicans. The incidence varies depending on age and certain predisposing factors. In the practice of dentistry, doctor-patient communication is an important component. Effective communication between doctor and patient is needed to convey information and educate patients so that treatment can be administered appropriately. Purpose: This case aimed to discuss the clinical appearance of acute pseudomembranous candidiasis (APC) in children and the importance of good communication, information and education of patients. Case: A five-year-old male patient came with his mother on November 6, 2020 complaining of white deposits on the mucosa of the upper and lower lips that had been present for a week. Case management: The diagnosis was defined as a typical APC lesion although the potassium hydroxide (KOH) test showed negative results. Characteristic lesions found in APC are often seen clearly in some cases and treatment can begin immediately. Patients receive the empirical therapy, Nystatin oral suspension 100.000 i.u, and the patient is instructed to maintain optimal oral hygiene care, maintain nutrient intake and book a follow-up consultation. Conclusion: Mistakes in patient preparation procedures in taking supporting examinations will result in false negative/positive results, so communication and education information regarding the preparation of supporting examinations for patients is important to note.

Background: A successful endodontic treatment is inseparable from the right choice of root canal dressing. The right choice of medicaments would result in patient satisfaction. Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) are usually found in failed root canal treatments. Calcium hydroxide is a gold standard dressing that creates an alkaline environment in the root canal and has a bactericidal effect. Commercially, there are calcium hydroxide dressings with supporting additions, including calcium hydroxide–iodophors (CH–iodophors) and Calcium hydroxide–barium sulfate (CH–barium sulfate). Purpose: This study aimed to compare the antibacterial efficacy between CH–iodophors and CH–barium sulfate root canal dressings on E. faecalis and P. gingivalis. Methods: CH–iodophors and CH–barium sulfate were obtained commercially. E. faecalis and P. gingivalis were obtained from stock culture taken from the root canal of failed endodontic treatment. E. faecalis and P. gingivalis were cultured in Petri dishes, and for each bacterium, 12 wells were made in the media. Six wells were used for the CH–iodophors group, and six wells were used for the CH–barium sulfate group. CH–iodophors and CH–barium sulfate were deployed in the wells in E. faecalis and P. gingivalis cultured media in the Petri dishes. After incubation, the inhibition zone diameters were measured. An independent t-test was used for analysis, and the significance level was set at 5%. Results: There is a significant difference in the antibacterial efficacy of CH–iodophors and that of CH–barium sulfate on E. faecalis and P. gingivalis (p = 0.00001). Conclusion: CH–iodophors have a higher antibacterial efficacy than CH–barium sulfate on both E. faecalis and P. gingivalis.

Background: Cleft lip and palate as a frequent congenital defect is caused by genetic and environmental factors. Micronutrient folic acid as an environmental factor has shown a role as a cleft lip and palate protective factor in several previous studies. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of adequacy of folic acid supplementation and the association between folic acid supplementation during the first trimester of pregnancy with the incidence of cleft lip and palate at Mitra Sejati Hospital, Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Methods: This study used analytical research with a case-control design and questionnaire. A Chi-square test was used to observe the association between the folic acid supplement intake during the first trimester with the incidence of cleft. The p-value ≤ 0.05 was deemed to be significant. Results: The study found that 47 mothers (51.09%) had insufficient, while 45 mothers (48.91%) had adequate folic acid supplementation. This study did not show a significant association between supplement use and all cleft incidence (p>0.05), but a significant result was found between inadequate supplementation (<400µ/day) and cleft lip with or without cleft palate occurrence (p=0.043; OR 2.4[1.022-5.625]). Conclusion: The present study showed that most pregnant women did not have sufficient folic acid supplement in the first trimester. Furthermore, inadequate maternal folic acid supplementation (<400µ/day) during the first trimester of pregnancy increased the tendency for cleft lip and cleft palate (with or without cleft lip) to occur significantly.

Introduction: Cyberbullying has become a new case in young millennials that can lead to being a serious problem if it is not faced properly. Many cases cannot be resolved because the victims did not tell the truth clearly to their parents and teachers. It may cause a lack of self-esteem among the students and also make the perpetrator become morally disengaged. The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation between parental communication patterns, moral disengagement, and self-esteem with cyberbullying behavior in junior high school.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 362 junior high school students in Indonesia using purposive sampling. Variables in this study were moral disengagement, self-esteem and parental communication patterns with cyberbullying behavior. The data were collected with the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, the cyberbullying behavior scale, the moral disengagement scale and the family communication pattern scale. Bivariate analysis with Chi-square was used to analyze the data.

Results: This study found out that there were 223 students, 61.6% were female, and 43.6% were aged 14 years. There were 187 students (51.7%) who had mild cyberbullying behavior. The study revealed that there were significant correlations among cyberbullying behavior with moral disengagement (p = 0.005, self-esteem (p = 0.008), and parental communication pattern (p = 0.019).

Conclusions:
Parental communication, moral disengagement and self-esteem have a correlation with cyberbullying behavior. It was expected that the schools need  to implement a training to improve social skills in junior high school students.

Introduction: An increase of the COVID-19 global statistics in late 2019 prompted the swift manufacturing of vaccines to protect people, especially older adults, from the debilitating effects of the disease. This study aimed to determine the socio-demographic correlates of older adults and their relationship with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
Methods: This correlational study invited the entire population of older adults to answer the survey. In total, 89 elderly individuals participated in face-to-face interviews because of the old age limitations. The tool used consisted of two parts. The first part determined the socio-demographic correlates. The second part assessed the level of acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. Rank Biserial and Spearman Rho were used to measure the correlations between the sociodemographic variables and COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
Results: The respondents were predominantly female (n = 45; 50.56%), with an elementary level of education (n = 48; 53.93%), below PHP 10,000.00 for monthly family income (n=77; 86.52%), unemployed (n=79; 88.76%), and Roman Catholic (n = 87; 97.75%). Generally, older adults will not accept the COVID-19 vaccine, specifically if it has less than a 50% effectiveness (n = 51; 57.30%) and if they have existing medical conditions (n = 51; 57.30%). Finally, the findings suggest that employment status has a significant negative relationship with the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine (r = -0.357, p = 0.0001).
Conclusions: 47.19% to 57.30% of older adults will not accept the COVID-19 vaccine. National and local governmentunits need to intensify their vaccination campaigns to persuade the public to engage with the free COVID-19 vaccines.

Background : During the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals were concerned about being infected. Meanwhile, the elderly felt isolated due to the detrimental effect on their mental and physical health. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the mental health issues suffered by the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The most frequent mental health issues assessed are sleep deprivation, loss of appetite, and psychosomatic complaints.Method : This is a descriptive-analytic study using a cross-sectional approach to find the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The population consists of 259 older adults (≥60 years) living in West Java and Jakarta.Results : The average age of study participants is 65.3 years old (±6.8SD range 60–89 years old). The multivariable logistic regression model showed that sleep deprivation is signifantly associated with non-college education background (OR=2.28;95%CI; 1.23-4.61), anxiety (OR=7.09; 95%CI; 3.57-14.08), and the existence of chronic illness (OR=2.75; 95%CI; 1.44 -5.26). Subsequently, the psychosomatic symptom was associated with anxiety (OR=5.27; 95%CI; 2.75 -10.11) and chronic illness (OR=2.80; 95%CI; 1.47 -5.32). Loss appetite was associated with non-college education background (OR=2.50; 95%CI; 1.16-5.41), anxiety (OR=10.41; 95%CI; 5.01-21.63), and the existence of chronic illness (OR=3.60; 95%CI; 1.72-7.55). The analysis showed that none of the COVID-19 related fear is associated with a sleep disorder, loss of appetite, and psychosomatic symptoms.Conclussion : A psychosocial approach is necessary to reduce the mental health issues during the Covid-19 Pandemic, focusing on anxiety management and assisting those with chronic diseases and low education.
