Published: June 2024

Objetivo: Explorar as alterações anatômicas em pacientes edêntulos usuários de prótese e sua implicação na cirurgia de implantes. Revisão bibliográfica: O aumento da população idosa impulsiona a demanda por tratamentos reabilitadores. As próteses removíveis convencionais são uma alternativa comum para a reabilitação de pacientes edêntulos, porém, comumente associadas ao agravamento da reabsorção óssea causada pela perda dentária, o que ocasiona a alteração anatômica das estruturas de suporte, o que ressalta a alternativa de reabilitação por implantes osseointegráveis. Porém durante a sua instalação podem ocorrer injúrias nervosas em decorrência da remodelação óssea e a consequente alteração dos marcos anatômicos, exigindo métodos pré ou trans cirúrgicos como técnicas de imagem avançadas, mobilização nervosa e enxertos a fim de minimizar o risco de complicações. Considerações finais: A reabilitação com implantes melhora a qualidade de vida ao paciente; próteses convencionais agravam a reabsorção óssea e dificultam a colocação de implantes. Apesar das alternativas trans cirúrgicas, o exame prévio é o procedimento mais indicado em relação a injúrias nervosas.

Addressing a penetrating injury in the maxillofacial region poses significant challenges for oral and maxillofacial surgeons due to the presence or critical structures. Damage to these structures can lead to varying degrees of impairment and a decreased quality of life for the patient. A 48-year-old individual sustained a stabbing injury to the left side of their face. The knife remained lodged inside for 7 h until they were admitted to the trauma unit. The assailant had unsuccessfully attempted to remove the weapon by bending its handle. Following thorough examinations to pinpoint the exact location of the knife, it was safely removed under sedation. The patient experienced successful healing without major complications. The minimisation of scar tissue was achieved through proper debridement and layered linear wound closure. Subsequently, the patient was transferred to the general ward for monitoring and prescribed antibiotics to prevent wound infection. This report includes a detailed account of the weapon retrieval process and its management, along with a review of relevant literature Reconstruction of complicated facial wounds is difficult for surgeons, and early treatment is necessary to avoid additional harm.

Authors: Heniwati Elok , Novita Novita , Yunita Khristina
Published: June 2024

This study evaluates the relationship between firm performance and stock price while incorporating the uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic as a control variable. A research model was developed separating two periods: before (2019) and during (2020) the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample consisted of all companies of LQ45 Index members. This study examined quarterly panel data and a total of 360 observations. Next, the analysis evaluates the impact of actual performance on share prices using Structural Equation Modeling, more precisely SmartPLS, as an analysis tool. The results show that the profitability, solvency, and activity ratios influence the stock price of LQ45 companies both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, except the liquidity ratios. Meanwhile, the uncertainty has no influence on the stock price of LQ45 companies both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings imply that policymakers should respond to drivers of stock performance and regulate strategic decisions accordingly in order to mitigate their long-term impact.JEL: M40, M41.

Rheumatoid arthritis frequently necessitates treatment with Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs). Methotrexate (MTX), a commonly prescribed DMARD, has known immunosuppressive properties along with various side effects. We report a case of an adult with rheumatoid arthritis on MTX, who experienced herpes zoster reactivation due to MTX’s immunosuppressive properties. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of Shingles vaccination in patients on MTX and thorough examination to prevent delayed diagnosis. We describe the case of a 76-year-old male with a history of rheumatoid arthritis who presented to multiple healthcare settings with constant chest pain with radiation to the left shoulder and upper back. Laboratory results and imaging ruled out potential cardiac and pulmonary etiologies of pain. On presentation to his rheumatologist, examination revealed a truncal polyphasic rash, affecting multiple dermatomes. After complete examination, the chest pain was attributed to postherpetic neuralgia secondary to herpes zoster reactivation, and treatment consisted of Gabapentin. Postherpetic neuralgia improved within two weeks, however, the rash persisted. This report presents a rare case of herpes zoster reactivation secondary to MTX immunosuppression. This case report aims to emphasize the importance of increased monitoring and thorough examination in patients treated with immunosuppressive agents and administration of Shingrix vaccine prior to initiating immunosuppressive therapy.

Published: June 2024

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) greatly enhance the functional diversity of proteins, surpassing the number of gene-encoded variations. One intriguing PTM is ADP-ribosylation, which utilizes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as a substrate and is essential in cell signaling pathways regulating cellular responses. Here, we report the first cell-permeable NAD+ analogs and demonstrate their utility for investigating cellular ADP-ribosylation. Using a desthiobiotin-labelled analog for affinity enrichment of proteins that are ADP-ribosylated in living cells under oxidative stress, we identified protein targets associated with host-virus interactions, DNA damage and repair, protein biosynthesis, and ribosome biogenesis. Most of these targets have been noted in various literature sources, highlighting the potential of our probes for cellular ADP-ribosylome studies.
Polyhydroxy Fullerene, Fullerol, Fullerenol or Polyoxy Fullerene? A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Interrogation
Authors: Xu Yue , Stella Martina , Knecht Stefan , Pavosevic Fabijan , Krishna Vijay
Published: June 2024

Hydroxylated fullerenes have gained attention for their broad range of applications ranging from laser activated transformations to healthspan extension. However, hydroxylated fullerenes are often assumed to contain only hydroxyl groups appended to fullerene cage and lack sufficient characterization. Previous attempts at using theoretical quantum chemical calculations to predict the vibrational spectrum of C60(OH)X has failed to reproduce experimental FTIR peaks. Here, we use density functional theory calculations to predict the vibrational spectra of a model C60(OH)12 molecule with systematic replacement of hydroxyl groups with carbonyl, and hemiketal groups. We demonstrate the role of charge and counterions on calculated vibrational spectrum and develop a combined model to accurately predict FTIR peaks. By bridging the gap between theoretical calculations and experimental measurements, we offer an alternative interpretation for the characteristic peaks observed in the FTIR spectrum.
The Evolving Landscape of Parkinson's Disease Research: Current Challenges and Future Outlook
Authors: Tenchov Rumiana , Sasso Janet , Zhou Qiongqiong Angela
Published: June 2024

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. It occurs due to gradual loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, particularly in the substantia nigra. The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Currently available treatments provide symptomatic relief but do not halt disease progression. Research efforts are currently focused on developing disease-modifying therapies that target the underlying pathological mechanisms of PD. Breakthroughs in PD biomarkers hold immense promise: earlier diagnosis, better monitoring, and targeted treatment based on individual response could significantly improve patient outcomes and ease the burden of this disease. Research into PD is an active and evolving field, with ongoing efforts focused on understanding disease mechanisms, identifying biomarkers, developing new treatments, and improving patient care. In this paper, we analyze data from the CAS Content Collection to summarize the research progress in PD. We examine the publication landscape in effort to provide insights into current knowledge advances and developments. We also review the most discussed and emerging concepts and assess the strategies to combat the disease. We explore genetic risk factors, pharmacological targets, and comorbid diseases, inspect clinical applications of products against PD with their development pipelines and efforts for drug repurposing. The objective of this review is to provide a broad overview of the evolving landscape of current knowledge regarding PD, to outline challenges, and evaluate growth opportunities to further efforts in combating the disease.

A Systematic Review of the UTAUT and UTAUT2 Among K-12 Educators
Authors: I Kittinger Lisa , Law Victor
Published: June 2024

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this systematic literature review is to evaluate the application of UTAUT and UTAUT2 frameworks in K-12 education.

Background: This study included an analysis of peer-reviewed empirical studies that use the UTAUT and UTAUT2 frameworks to understand the factors that influence technology adoption among K-12 educators. New constructs were identified, and core determinates of the models were studied.

Methodology: The researchers used a systematic literature review. Inclusion criteria required articles to be written in English, non-duplicate, peer-reviewed, focused on K-12 educators, and employing quantitative methods to test or extend the UTAUT or UTAUT2 models. We used a strategic search string to conduct standardized searches across multiple databases in education, psychology, business, engineering, and multi-disciplinary publications. We conducted a screening process on the initially identified 98 articles. We kept 14 articles for final analysis, as they met the inclusion criteria.

Contribution: This study contributes to the fields of (a) information science, (b) information technology (IT), and (c) education by offering a more detailed analysis and understanding of the use of UTAUT and UTAUT2 in studying technology adoption among K-12 educators.

Findings: The results show performance expectancy and social influence are the most used core factors. A total of 27 new variables were identified and organized into a taxonomy. Discrepancies in the application of the models were identified and further discussed. The use of UTAUT and UTAUT2 in K-12 education is minimal.

Recommendations for Practitioners: Findings inform stakeholders in education (e.g., directors of technology operations, administrators, educators) and educational technology businesses (e.g., software engineers, interface and content designers, and user experience designers) how to create and integrate products that fit the true needs of the end-users. Technology must align with the tasks needed to accomplish educational objectives (performance expectancy), and certain environmental conditions are needed to support technology usage. Educators should also be aware their decisions regarding technology adoption are influenced by social factors, such as their superiors and peers.

Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers need to conduct more studies using UTAUT and UTAUT2 within K-12 education. It is likely that teachers are influenced by their students, although little research exists to study this relationship through the lens of these models. Moreover, consideration should be given when renaming variables, using certain relationships, and developing research models.

Impact on Society: Findings support our understanding of educational technology adoption, which benefits our education system, especially teachers and students alike, when done successfully.

Future Research: Future research should include a meta-analysis exploring the statistical extent of relationships and new variables identified.

Mengusahakan sayur-sayuran di luar musim menguntungkan karena petani mendapatkan harga mahal. Masalahnya kesuburan tanah menurun  akibat mengalami jenuh air sehingga aerasinya buruk, struktur pejal dan pH tanah rendah. Oleh sebab itu maka, dilaksanakan  penyuluhan dan pendampingan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan petani  mengusahakan tanaman sayur-sayuran di luar musim. Metode kegiatan tindak partisipatif yang dilaksanakan selama 6 bulan, melalui beberapa tahap yaitu,  identifikasi masalah, pelaksanaan, monitoring dan evaluasi.  Kegiatan penyuluhan dan pendampingan berlangsung tertib, aman dan lancar. Pengetahuan dan keterampilan petani meningkat, terbukti tingginya partisipasi dan antusias mereka mengusahakan sayur-sayuran di luar musim. Aplikasi tindak agronomi seperti penggunaan mulsa plastik, pupuk organik 15- 20 ton ha-1 dan NPK Ponska 75-150 kg ha-1, memberikan hasil sawi-pakcoy, tomat, cabe dan bawang merah lebih tinggi dibandingken dengan aplikasi NPK Ponska 300 kg ha-1 tanpa pupuk organik dan mulsa. Pendapatan dan keuntungan dengan mengusahakan sawi-pakcoy, tomat, cabe dan bawang merah lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan mengusahakan bayam, kacang panjang dan jagung manis, karena nilai jualnya lebih mahal dan stabil dengan harga masing-masing,  pakcoy  Rp 12.500,- kg-1, tomat Rp 8.500,- kg-1, cabe Rp 20.000,- kg-1, dan bawang merah Rp 30.000,- kg-1.
Thomas Hobbes, ou a invenção do soberano-representante
Authors: Djikoldigam Mbaidiguim
Published: June 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar que a relação representação e soberania em Thomas Hobbes é original por não considerar a representação apenas como uma procuração, mas ao defender a união entre representação e soberania como condição necessária para exercício do poder político. Para tanto, o artigo compara a teoria hobbesiana com as teorias de representação de representação vindo da Idade Média, apontando as possíveis interferências destas teorias na teoria hobbesiana, mas também o distanciamento do filósofo inglês delas.

É através das feiras de ciências que os estudantes reconhecem o método científico e utilizam a curiosidade e criatividade para criar e desenvolver pesquisas investigativas. Nesse sentido, foram realizadas três edições da Feira de Ciências do Clube de Ciências Decolar e Núcleo de Extensão NAIPCE em 2021 a 2023, uma parceria entre núcleo NAIPCE e o Clube de Ciências Decolar da Escola Estadual José Aparecido Ribeiro. A primeira edição aconteceu em formato remoto devido a pandemia Covid-19. Foram oferecidas palestras on line e os 35 trabalhos inscritos apresentados em formato de vídeo foram disponibilizados no site do núcleo (www.naipce.com.br). A segunda edição contou com a oferta de oficinas e palestras para 200 participantes (professores e estudantes do ensino básico) durante os meses de maio até setembro (2022). No dia 10 de novembro de 2022 foi realizada a etapa presencial com a apresentação de 46 trabalhos no formato de banner e mais de 1000 estudantes visitaram o espaço da feira, onde estava disponível um planetário gratuito para os participantes. Na terceira edição em 2023, foram apresentados mais de 40 trabalhos pelos estudantes, com atendimento de mais de 1000 estudantes. Em todas as ações, estiveram envolvidos acadêmicos dos cursos de graduação da Unemat, campus de Nova Mutum. Os acadêmicos prepararam e ministraram as oficinas antes da etapa presencial, pois a popularização da ciência não é realizada apenas no processo de divulgação dos trabalhos durante a realização da feira, mas deve ser um trabalho iniciado desde a sua concepção, pensando em uma temática abrangente e que permita ser compartilhado o conhecimento científico com a população. A extensão é essencial para aproximar a universidade da comunidade, compartilhar conhecimentos e principalmente, favorecer o desenvolvimento humano e profissional do acadêmico.

Nanoparticles drug delivery systems have emerged as a cutting-edge approach in treating central nervous system disorders. This review discusses the advancements and opportunities in utilizing nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery to the brain, focusing on their potential to enhance efficacy, reduce side effects, and improve patient outcomes. Lipid-based nanocarriers like liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and micelles are widely used in neurological conditions. The growing demand for innovative drug delivery methods for treating neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer’s are largely due to potential therapy failures in the blood brain barrier and P-glycoproteins which cause progressive loss of brain function. Nanotechnology advancements can help overcome these limitations by improving the delivery of active medicine campaigns and creating nanomaterials that improve active drug delivery.
