КОММОДИФИКАЦИЯ ЯЗЫКОВ И ЯЗЫКОВОЙ ЛАНДШАФТ СТОЛИЦЫ МОНГОЛИИ
Authors: Эржен Владимировна Хилханова , Вячеслав Валерьевич Иванов
Published: November 2023

В статье рассматривается теоретический концепт коммодификации языка (в том числе применительно к русскому языку в разных странах мира), представляющий собой исследовательскую перспективу, с которой анализируется языковой ландшафт страны, не изученной с этой точки зрения, – Монголии. Авторы анализируют устройство языкового пространства столицы Монголии Улан-Батора с точки зрения количественной представленности и характера функционирования в нем разных иностранных языков. Предварительно авторы кратко описывают историческую, современную и социолингвистическую ситуацию в Монголии. Материалом исследования в настоящей статье стали 280 вывесок, собранных в 2023 г. на одной из центральных улиц Улан-Батора – Бага тойруу. Анализ показал, что наиболее представленным иностранным языком является английский, а также корейский и японский, которые значительно уступают английскому в представленности. Остальные языки (китайский, русский, итальянский, испанский, французский, санскрит, узбекский и турецкий) встречаются лишь в единичных случаях, причем китайский и русский немного превосходят по численности остальные. Авторы объясняют одинаково низкую степень присутствия китайского и русского языков в языковом ландшафте Улан-Батора разными причинами. Если слабая представленность русского языка свидетельствует о его низкой коммодификационной ценности в представлениях современных монголов, то низкий уровень представленности китайского языка следует отнести скорее на счет антикитайских настроений. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют, что в отношении языкового ландшафта Улан-Батора только частично можно сделать вывод об отделении языка от ассоциирующихся с ним носителей, а также о том, что «деньги решают все». Языковой ландшафт Улан-Батора строится, следуя не только инструментально-прагматичным, но и неутилитарным, нерациональным мотивам.
National Cinema in the Transnational Cultural Market: A Focus on the Films of Director Edward Yang
Authors:   Korean Association of Cultural Studies, Seo SangYeong
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this paper is to problematize the critical and research landscape that anchor Edward Yang's films within the framework of national cinema, based on a post-colonial Marxist perspective. The success of the Taiwanese New Wave was influenced not only by the anti-colonial movement but also by marketing strategies within the postmodern art market. Furthermore, there was a process of responding to the new nation's desire for profit through the export of goods in the international market. Therefore, this paper aims to explore a new perspective in interpreting Edward Yang's films as national cinema, while also revealing aspects that have been concealed by the logic of criticism and the market surrounding his films. To achieve this, the paper focuses on new character types in his films since the 1990s, suggesting that his films may reproduce the culture of patriarchal bourgeois families. Thus, this paper aims to indicate that the concept of national cinema can solidify its privileged position within the nation and suppress diversity, when studying national cinema in the era of transnational capitalism.
A mathematical contribution to the economic growth theory. Evidence on the relationship between wages and output from the Italian region
Authors: Ferrentino Rosa , Vota Luca
Published: November 2023

In this manuscript, the authors empirically assess the impact of an increase in the wage per worker on the GDP per capita of the Italian regions. To achieve this research aim, the authors carry out a panel data regression analysis, relying on an identiﬁcation strategy based on the standard Neoclassical model of economic growth. The authors’ results suggest that, on average, the output eﬀect of an increase in the wage per worker is positive, with a substantial diﬀerence between the Northern and Center-Southern regions. The authors’ policy implication is that wage moderation does not represent a remedy to the economic stagnation that the Italian regions have been experiencing since the second half of the 1990s.

First record of the pine sawfly Neodiprion warreni (Hymenoptera, Diprionidae) in the state of Tennessee and on Pinus virginiana
Authors: Ridenbaugh Ryan D. , Glover Ashleigh N. , Linnen Catherine R.
Published: November 2023

Pine sawflies in the genus Neodiprion Rohwer are widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere and are pests of commercially important conifer trees. While sampling for Neodiprion species in eastern North America, two colonies of Neodiprion warreni Ross were discovered in Tennessee feeding on Pinus virginiana Mill. These are the first records of N. warreni in Tennessee and on the host P. virginiana. Here, we use a combination of larval and adult female morphology to confirm species identification. We also discuss two potential explanations for these observations: N. warreni was always present in Tennessee and feeding on P. virginiana but, until now, has gone unreported or these new records are attributable to a recent range expansion and host shift. We also discuss potential economic and evolutionary implications of range expansions and host shifts in plant-feeding insect pest species.
Paraboea zunyiensis (Gesneriaceae), a new species from north Guizhou, China
Authors: Deng Tan , Wen Fang , Xie Da-Jun , Wei Ruo-Xun , He Lin , Dou Quan-Li , Qian Zheng-Min , Zhang Ren-Bo
Published: November 2023

A new lithophytic species, Paraboea zunyiensis T.Deng, F.Wen & R.B.Zhang (Gesneriaceae), inhabiting Karst rocks in northern Guizhou, China, is introduced and depicted in this study. It bears a resemblance to P. crassifolia (Hemsl.) B.L. Burtt, yet is distinguishable by its shorter filaments and staminodes, triangular ovate calyx segments, and ovaries surpassing the styles in length. Moreover, the phylogenetic tree constructed from nuclear DNA (ITS) and plastid DNA (trnL-F) data firmly support the differentiation of this novel species from P. crassifolia.
New plant communities to define the southern boundary of the European Atlantic Province in mainland Portugal
Authors: Raposo Mauro , del Río Sara , Vázquez-Pardo Francisco , Costa José Carlos , Cano-Ortiz Ana , Pinto-Gomes Carlos
Published: November 2023

This study identifies and analyzes the plant communities that allow the definition of the geographic limits between Temperate and Mediterranean macrobioclimates, for the center of Portuguese mainland. The altitude of Serra da Estrela, Açor and Lousã, combined with the increase in atmospheric humidity, allows the presence of vegetation typical of a Temperate macrobioclimate. Thus, based on the phytosociological methodology, floristic relevés were carried out in order to identify the series of vegetation existing in these territories. Through these relevés carried out, four new plant associations were identified: Cytisetum grandifloro-striati ass. nova, Scrophulario grandiflorae-Sambucetum nigrae ass. nova, Pruno lusitanicae-Coryletum avellanae ass. nova that lives in the submediterranean bioclimatic variant, mesotemperate humid to hyper-humid. A new association namely Genisto falcatae-Quercetum broteroanae ass. nova with two subassociations were also identified. Based on the vegetation distribution, new biogeographic limits are proposed. Thus, it was intended to identify the southern limits of the European Atlantic Province (Atlantic Orolusitania Subrovince) based on the vegetation cover, namely the distinction between the Estrela Sierran District and a new Biogeographical District, the Alvo-Gardunhense.

La fabrication du chiffre randomisé. Les expérimentations aléatoires en pratique
Authors: Jatteau Arthur
Published: November 2023

Cet article se penche sur la manière dont la méthode des expérimentations aléatoires, ou randomisation, popularisée par l’économiste française Esther Duflo, est pratiquée sur le terrain. Il étudie ce qui se joue dans le passage de la théorie à la pratique, en attachant une importance particulière à la place et au rôle du terrain. La relative mise à distance de ce dernier de la part des chercheurs, associée à une marginalisation des méthodes qualitatives, entraîne des effets heuristiques importants qu’il convient de mettre au jour. L’article montre ainsi que dans les faits, on ne sait pas toujours avec précision de quoi l’on mesure réellement l’impact. Classification JEL : 010, Z13, B50
Introduction : Radical-Right Populisms in the Baltic Region
Authors: Kesa Katerina
Published: November 2023

Ce dossier explore la circulation des idées, acteurs et pratiques entre les formations populistes de droite radicale dans l’espace baltique, et leurs formes de coopération transnationale. Il analyse également les perceptions et représentions des politiques des pays voisins par les acteurs de la droite radicale, et leurs stratégies de mobilisation de communautés nationales diasporiques. Pēteris F.Timofejevs montre que le Parti populaire conservateur d’Estonie (EKRE) et l’Alliance nationale lettone, malgré une hostilité commune à l’égard de la Russie, se sont positionnés différemment par rapport à la politique étrangère et aux choix d’alliances électorales et politiques. Mari-Liis Jakobson et Tõnis Saarts explorent la stratégie d’EKRE envers la diaspora estonienne en Finlande, à travers la notion d’« espace transnational », qui associe médias et réseaux sociaux. Katerina Kesa montre comment ce parti instrumentalise informations et images venant de Suède et de Finlande pour promouvoir une idéologie xénophobe et ultra-conservatrice en Estonie, tout en tentant de se rapprocher de l’extrême-droite dans ces deux pays. Bartłomiej Różycki se penche sur le concept d’« homogénéité nationale » en Pologne et son utilisation par le parti Droit et Justice (PiS), au pouvoir depuis 2015. Forgé avant la seconde guerre mondiale, repris par le régime communiste, il apparaît à la fois dans des initiatives populaires et dans la rhétorique gouvernementale, et favorise les succès électoraux du PiS.
« Entre effacement et négation : Ne pas être pour être »
Authors: Bensidoun Bernard
Published: November 2023

L’auteur fait l’hypothèse que la trace laissée par un enfant sur une feuille blanche est en rapport avec l’acquisition de la négation. À l’aide de la situation clinique d’un adolescent de 13 ans, il montre comment la non-acquisition de la négation entraîne la mise en place d’une défense par l’effacement. L’évolution clinique permettra de constater l’absence de négation, les mécanismes d’effacement à l’œuvre et la lutte contre un effondrement. Une somatisation, une crise d’asthme, permettra de se poser la question d’un moment mutatif du patient. L’effacement sera compris comme une tentative de retrouver une position active chez un patient qui n’a pu investir la passivité.
Pensar la ciudad desde el cuerpo: artivismo feminista
Authors: Freire Smith Marla , G. Miranda David
Published: November 2023

Cet article analyse ce que signifie penser la ville à partir du corps à travers l'artivisme féministe comme stratégie de visibilité, menée à la fois par des artistes et des groupes d'action, afin de montrer que les structures d'oppression et de pouvoir qui coexistent dans la ville peuvent être non seulement remises en question, mais aussi supprimées. Tout en examinant comment l'artivisme féministe nous fournit des clés pour générer des changements, il nous montre également que les villes sont des extensions de nos corps. D'un point de vue graphique et performatif, les cas présentés nous aident à comprendre comment, à travers les arts, il est possible de contribuer à l'amélioration des villes et des relations qui y sont générées, en fournissant un espace qui peut offrir un confinement et, en même temps, apporter des changements culturels et sociaux dans la vie collective.
Intervenciones sobre el patrimonio: lecturas y reflexiones sobre las protestas desde el foco de las identidades y el espacio público
Authors: Rebolledo González César , Pedraza Bucio Claudia
Published: November 2023

Resumé : Au cours de la dernière décennie, les protestations sociales à travers le monde ont déclenché une discussion sur les formes d'expression des demandes et des revendications dans l'espace public. En particulier, les actions de protestation contre le patrimoine monumental et architectural (peinture, grattage, interventions, modifications ou renversement) ont suscité des débats éthiques et politiques dans les médias, les plateformes socionumériques et les espaces académiques.Ce phénomène a suscité un intérêt croissant dans les sciences sociales et humaines, dont l'objectif commun est d'analyser les conflits sur la signification du patrimoine et la connotation de leurs interventions. L'objectif de cet article est de passer en revue la production académique autour de la protestation, des interventions sur le patrimoine historique, de l'espace public et des identités. La question implicite de ce travail est de savoir comment ces pratiques identitaires (hautement symboliques) peuvent être analysées et interprétées afin de dépasser les réductionnismes médiatiques et académiques qu'elles génèrent.
Urbanisme tactique : une expérience sensible pour recomposer les villes
Authors: Redondo Belinda
Published: November 2023

L’urbanisme tactique offre de nouvelles alternatives d’aménagement face aux modes de conception traditionnels des villes. Dans l’optique de répondre aux besoins des usagers et d’apporter des solutions tangibles aux défis socio-urbains, ces projets urbains tendent vers une approche plus inclusive, intuitive, collaborative, expérimentale et sensible de la ville. En effet, ces projets dits bottom-up invitent à appréhender autrement cette dernière, en composant de nouvelles sensibilités urbaines collectives. Dès lors, en quoi l’urbanisme tactique concourt-il à l’émergence d’une sensibilité des villes ? Comment les expériences sensibles partagées se manifestent-elles au cœur de ces projets ? Notre contribution interrogera ces alternatives d’aménagement des villes, afin d’en définir les contours et ainsi mettre en perspective la dimension sensible au cœur du renouvellement des pratiques urbaines et expressivité des territoires.
The Intersection of Insomnia Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder: A Clinical Perspective
Authors: Bachu Anil , Yadav Garima , Ansari Maliha , Kochhar Hansini , Cabrera Tiffany , Chopra Amit
Published: November 2023

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with profound sleep architectural alterations including reduced slow wave activity, increased delta sleep ratio, REM sleep disinhibition, shortened REM onset latency, and increased REM density. Antidepressants, though mitigating depressive symptoms, often disrupt sleep patterns, highlighting the delicate balance between treatment benefits and sleep-related impacts. Comprehensive assessment and management of insomnia is pivotal due to its significant implications for effective clinical management and treatment outcomes in MDD. Nonpharmacological treatments, notably cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi), and digital CBTi (dCBTi) should be considered. CBTi unravels maladaptive sleep beliefs and behaviors, yielding improvements in both insomnia and MDD symptoms. Digital CBTi platforms extend accessibility, offering potential relief to a broader demographic. Sedating antidepressants, nonbenzodiazepine hypnotics, and atypical antipsychotics address insomnia within MDD, with cautious consideration for side effects. A combination of pharmacotherapy with CBTi might yield augmented outcomes in patients with MDD and comorbid insomnia. Ketamine, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS) explore novel dimensions in treating treatment-resistant depression, potentially influencing sleep disruptions.

Algebraic Schouten solitons of Lorentzian Lie groups with Yano connections
Authors: Yang Jinli , Miao Jiajing
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we discuss the beingness conditions for algebraic Schouten solitons associated with Yano connections in the background of three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups. By transforming equations of algebraic Schouten solitons into algebraic equations, the existence conditions of solitons are found. In particular, we deduce some formulations for Yano connections and related Ricci operators. Furthermore, we find the detailed categorization for those algebraic Schouten solitons on three-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups. The major results demonstrate that algebraic Schouten solitons related to Yano connections are present in $ G_{1} $, $ G_{2} $, $ G_{3} $, $ G_{5} $, $ G_{6} $ and $ G_{7} $, while they are not identifiable in $ G_{4} $.
Spiritual thirdspace and silent faith: reading the parallax between Buddhism and Christianity in the movie Silence (2016)
Authors: Hapugoda Mahesh , Anandawansa Krishanthi
Published: November 2023

Scorsese’s movie Silence (2016) can be (re)contextualized to state that Jesuit priests Ferreira and Rodrigues found spiritual ‘Thirdspace’ when their missionary work was violently suppressed during Edo Japan. To survive the banal violence, suffering and pain and counter the psychological breakdown incurred by the Buddhist inquisitor, the priests seek an alternative, spiritual assimilation and dissimilation entity that paradoxically juxtaposes with the denouncement of faith (fumi-e) and identifies with God’s silence that preserves it. At this point, a Heideggerian ‘out-of-joint’ situation is experienced, reaching Christianity’s true meaning: God-forsaken man is left to decide in existential freewill how to continue his faith under challenging circumstances. The ‘Thirdspace’ identified here differs from Catholic and Christian beliefs, practices and Buddhist doctrinal rituals and occurs when Rodrigues silently preserves his faith, like his mentor Ferreira. This silent faith becomes the indestructibly true, epistemological element. There is higher semiotic significance when Rodrigues’ suppressed Christian soul symbolically returns through his wife, who places the Cross in his hands, establishing a transcendental connection that traverses both religions’ limits and boundaries. Despite the two religions’ ‘un-meeting’ spiritual contradictions, the wife’s act suggests man’s ability to help each other towards mutual, spiritual destinies. When Europe sees Christianity as a missionary endeavour, and its experience of Japanese cruelty culminates, a ‘shift in perspective against its background’ occurs that never returns gaze; the priests never look back at European origin after their ‘roots were cut’. This transposition of locations that prevents a returning gaze is the parallax that re-establishes true Christian faith in both priests.
Electronic human resource management (e-HRM) adoption; a systematic literature review
Authors: Priyashantha Gayan , Chandradasa A.H. Isuru
Published: November 2023

e-HRM is a web-based technology that directly contributes to organisational effectiveness and supports different organisational functions. Even though the researchers have investigated different aspects of e-HRM adoption and reviews of them available, there are gaps in the current knowledge relating to the subject. Thus, the main objectives of this study were to assess (1) the current knowledge and (2) the areas where empirical research is lacking in e-HRM adoption. The systematic literature review methodology was followed to address these objectives. Twenty articles published from 2010 to 2021 were included in the review from Scopus. The article selection criteria, materials and methods, analysis, and findings’ reporting structure were followed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The findings categorised e-HRM research into six main themes. They are (1) factors and outcomes of e-HRM adoption/usage, (2) e-HRM value creation, (3) strengthening the employee-HR department relationship, (4) the dark side of e-HRM, (5) virtual organisations and organisational innovations, and (6) the motivation for strategic business value creation. These themes represent two research areas: the factors and outcomes of e-HRM adoptions. Gaps in e-HRM research continue to exist in the empirical research environment. Accordingly, our findings have implications for improving e-HRM application and future research.
Impact of financial market development on economic growth: evidence from Sri Lanka
Authors: Senadheera I. H. Piyumini Nadeeshanee , Rajapakse R. P. Champa
Published: November 2023

The study focuses on the impact of financial market development (FMD) on economic growth in Sri Lanka. The study investigates positive association flows from finance to growth, called the “supply-leading hypothesis”, in different directions such as positive, negative, bidirectional and neutral. FMD impact is considered in both depth and efficiency aspects. Natural logarithms (Ln) form of all gross domestic production in real terms, total domestic credit, percentage of loans and advances to total deposits, inflation index, market capitalisation of listed domestic companies and money supply as liquidity indicator are concerned, first being the dependent variable, next two as depth indicators and last three explanatories as efficiency indicating variables. Changes in both private sector production volume Index and government expenditure are also included into the model as independent variables to represent the non-financial market impact. Secondary monthly time series data published by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka from January 2008 to June 2019 of 138 observations are analysed using the E-views version 10. The ARDL model is applied. The study suggests a significant long-run impact of FMD on economic growth in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, inflation hinders the FMD. Up to the bearable limit, financial depth positively affects, while the higher degree of financial depth negatively influences economic growth in Sri Lanka. The impact of the non-financial market is comparatively insignificant on economic growth.
Strategic human resource management challenges in graduate development officer recruitment in Sri Lanka
Authors: Ramakrishnan Vivek , Nanthagopan Yogarajah
Published: November 2023

Human resource management greatly influences the long-term performance of a corporation. While this has always been the case, the relative importance of HR has further increased in today’s fast-changing, highly complicated, and uncertain corporate environment. Sri Lanka encounters a severe issue with hiring in the public sector, and employing graduate development officers has recently become increasingly complicated. They are categorised as insecure in their position due to the effect of human resource strategies in companies. In this regard, exploring the strategic human resource difficulties that influence the nominations of recent development officers is necessary, which mainly impacts graduates entering the business world for the first time. Within this context, a qualitative study was performed using data gathered through ten interviews. By using thematic analysis, the author aimed to determine the impact of strategic human resource practices in development officer appointments. Thus, we suggest the best possible ways of solving issues related to development officer appointments through practical strategies in human resources, such as the internal hiring process, knowledge or skill exams, and one-to-one and panel interviews.
Listening to the information needs of visually impaired users and implications for the libraries
Authors: Vijayakumar K. , WAHID ABDUL , LONE MOHAMMAD ISHAQ , Bhat Bilal  Gani
Published: November 2023

The study is pursued with the purpose of understanding the information-seeking behaviour of visually impaired users in Kashmir division of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Union Territory (UT). The main objectives of the study were to know the use of the library and the perception of library among visually impaired users.  The data was collected through a schedule and was analysed using quantitative techniques. In total, 63 persons were identified as visually impaired, but only 58 responded to the schedule. In order to fulfil various information needs, the users are enquired about different sources consulted. The users have found many print and electronic sources in the libraries but, at the same time, suggested that there should be a facility for conversion of text from print to electronic format in the library. Furthermore, the users are using the various library services but the availability of few special facilities are not being reported by the users.

OBJECTIVE:

To compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to three different types of ceramic surfaces (feldspathic, lithium disilicate, and zirconium) using Assure® Plus All and Transbond™ XT adhesives.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The sample comprised 72 monolithic computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic samples that were randomly divided into six groups of 12 specimens each. Three groups (G1, feldspathic ceramic; G3, lithium disilicate ceramic; G5, zirconium surfaces) were bonded to metal brackets using Assure® Plus All adhesive, whereas the remaining three groups (G2, G4, G6; with the ceramic type in the same order as that in the previous groups) were bonded to metal brackets using Transbond™ XT. The samples were then subjected to 10,000 thermocycles. The SBS was calculated using the shear tests. The site of bonding failure was classified using the adhesive remnant index (ARI) score. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used for statistical analyses at a 5% significance level.

RESULTS:

Statistically significant differences were observed in the mean SBS values of the groups (P < 0.001). The mean SBS for G6 (zirconium plus Transbond™ XT) (2.52 MPa) was significantly lower than that for all other groups. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found in the ARI score distribution among the groups (P < 0.001). Differences were identified between G6 and G3 (lithium disilicate Plus All Assure® Plus All) and G5 (zirconium plus Assure® Plus All).

CONCLUSIONS:

The mean bonding strength of brackets with Assure® Plus All was higher than that with Transbond™ XT for all three types of ceramics. However, all groups, except the zirconium plus Transbond™ XT group, showed acceptable bonding strength for orthodontic purposes. The application of hydrofluoric acid followed by silane and finally the Assure® Plus All adhesive system is adequate for bonding brackets to any of the ceramic tested surfaces.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dental midline shifting in a group of children with mixed dentition aged 7–15 years in Babylon/Iraq and assess the association between different variables including gender, age stages, residency, and Angle's classes of malocclusions with midline shifting.

MATERIALS AND METHOD:

A total of 300 dentate children aged 7–15 years (119 males and 131 females) were randomly chosen from children who visited the Department of Orthodontics, Pedodontics, and Prevention at the College of Dentistry/University of Babylon. The participants were from various environmental areas (162 urban and 88 rural area subjects). The dental midline shifting evaluation includes verifying the maxillary and mandibular dental midline positions with respect to the facial midline, taking philtrum as a guide. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 for Windows was used for data analyses using Pearson's Chi-square tests. The significance level was set at P < 0.05.

RESULTS:

More than half of the total sample had dental midline shifting (55.66%), which was relatively more prevalent in the mandible than in the maxilla. The prevalence of dental midline shifting was more common in females (31.3%), subjects over the age of 12 years (20%), and subjects from urban areas (37%). The midline deviation was more frequent in Angle's class I (34%) and class II (13%) malocclusion than in Angle's class III malocclusion (9%) with statistically significant differences (P = 0.028). 63.47% of the sample had midline shifts of 2 mm or more.

CONCLUSIONS:

About half of the studied sample showed a maxillary–mandibular dental midline shift. The dental midline shift is more commonly noticed in females and children over 12 years old. A statistically significant difference was found between the shift of the dental midline and Angle's classes of malocclusions, with class I having the greatest midline shift.

CONTEXT:

Malocclusion is a common dental issue that can lead to significant oral health problems. However, patient management and treatment options for malocclusion can vary, and there is a lack of information regarding self-perception and barriers to orthodontic care.

AIMS:

This study aimed to assess the self-perception of malocclusion and explore barriers to orthodontic care among residents of Bandar Saujana Putra in Klang Valley, Malaysia.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN:

A cross-sectional study through the use of a validated questionnaire was distributed to the residents of Bandar Saujana Putra. Responses were collected from June 2021 to February 2022 via both online (Google Forms) and physical forms.

METHODS AND MATERIAL:

The questionnaire consists of four sections, which assessed the respondents' demographics, understanding and awareness toward malocclusion, and barriers to orthodontic care.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED:

Responses were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-square test with IBM SPSS version 26.

RESULTS:

A total of 231 responses were collected from 83 (35.9%) males and 148 (64.1%) females. Females had a significantly higher level of awareness and knowledge regarding malocclusion compared to males (P < 0.05). The majority of the female respondents (83.8%) agreed that malocclusion can lead to dental caries (P = 0.02) and 60.8% of them identified “unpleasant appearance” as the main barrier to orthodontic treatment (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

The findings suggest that clear braces could be a viable alternative for patients who are concerned with their appearance and may be a solution to the barrier of “unpleasant appearance.” Our study contributes to the existing literature on malocclusion and barriers to orthodontic care in Malaysia.

OBJECTIVE:

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is one of the most widely used denture base material because of favorable esthetics and desirable characteristics such as easy handling. Acrylic resins, although, have some inherent disadvantages such as relatively poor physical and mechanical properties. The objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the impact strength of unmodified and modified heat cure PMMA-based denture base material with addition of different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) (0.5, 1, 2 wt%).

METHODS:

The present in-vitro study comprised of a total of 60 samples allocated to four groups with Group A samples consisting of heat cure acrylic resin without any modification (used as control); Group B samples consisting of heat cure acrylic resin modified with 0.5 wt% of AgNPs; and subsequently, Group C and Group D samples consisting of heat cure acrylic resin modified with 1 wt% and 2 wt% of AgNPs, respectively. The impact strength of the prepared acrylic samples was evaluated using Izod/Charpy Impact Tester, while the values obtained were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA), while one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's multiple post-hoc procedures were used for statistical analysis. P < .05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS:

The highest impact strength was found in Group C samples consisting of heat cure acrylic resin modified with 1 wt% of AgNPs to be closely followed by Group B samples consisting of heat cure acrylic resin modified with 0.5 wt% of AgNPs. Group D samples consisting of heat cure acrylic resin modified with 2 wt% of AgNPs, although, revealed relatively lower impact strength compared to Group B and Group C samples.

CONCLUSIONS:

Within the limitations of the present study, it was concluded that the impact strength of mechanically modified heat polymerized PMMA resin was significantly enhanced with addition of varying concentrations of AgNPs, although, it was observed that with an increase in the concentration of AgNPs, a subsequent decrease in the tensile strength of the final polymer material was observed.
