Ultralow Dose MSCT Imaging in Dental Implantology
Authors: Widmann Gerlig , Al-Ekrish Asma'a A.
Published: February 2018

Introduction:

The Council Directive 2013/59 Euratom has a clear commitment for keeping medical radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable and demands a regular review and use of diagnostic reference levels.

Methods:

In dental implantology, the range of effective doses for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) shows a broad overlap with multislice computed tomography (MSCT). More recently, ultralow dose imaging with new generations of MSCT scanners may impart radiation doses equal to or lower than CBCT. Dose reductions in MSCT have been further facilitated by the introduction of iterative image reconstruction technology (IRT), which provides substantial noise reduction over the current standard of filtered backward projection (FBP).

Aim:

The aim of this article is to review the available literature on ultralow dose CT imaging and IRTs in dental implantology imaging and to summarize their influence on spatial and contrast resolution, image noise, tissue density measurements, and validity of linear measurements of the jaws.

Conclusion:

Application of ultralow dose MSCT with IRT technology in dental implantology offers the potential for very large dose reductions compared with standard dose imaging. Yet, evaluation of various diagnostic tasks related to dental implantology is still needed to confirm the results obtained with various IRTs and ultra-low doses so far.

Published: February 2018

Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) is controlled in the U.S. dry cured ham industry with methyl bromide (MB) fumigation. However, MB fumigation is being phased out of use since it is an ozone depleting substance. The objective of this research was to evaluate ham nets that were infused with lard, propylene glycol (PG) and polysaccharide coating for their efficacy at controlling mite infestations on dry cured ham cubes from hams that were aged for 4 to 6 mo. Results indicated that fewer T. putrescentiae (P < 0.05) were on ham cubes with treated nets containing PG when compared to the number of mites on ham cubes with untreated nets over 10 wk of storage. Lard infused nets without PG did not decrease the mite population (P > 0.05). The net without coating slowed the growth and reproduction of T. putrescentiae since net controls had fewer mites (P < 0.05) than controls without nets. Fungi were not present on ham cubes that were treated with PG-containing nets over 10 wk of storage with a few exceptions. In conclusion, lard and xanthan gum, or carrageenan + propylene glycol alginate treated nets containing the medium concentration of PG effectively inhibited mite reproduction and fungal growth on dry cured ham and could potentially be used in an integrated pest management program to control mites on dry cured hams.

Published: February 2018

This study was conducted to provide an overview on how the multi-stakeholders partnership model on the Black Soybeans Project capable of creating economic value to all parties involved in the project. This paper focuses strongly on the role of social capital in multi-stakeholders partnership model which was developed by PT. Unilever Indonesia Tbk in the implementation of corporate social responsibility in Bantul, Yogyakarta.  In this research context social capital is defined as the networks, trust, norms and commitment that enable Unilever and its stakeholders to achieve mutual defined goals through collaboration. This is a post-positivist paradigm phenomenology-interpretive research. Data were collected by conducting in-depth interviews with key informants involved in the project e.g. university’s academicians, NGO, financial institutions, farmers, women/wives of farmers and Unilever of Indonesia Foundation. The study shows that the partnership was created based on the principle of symbiosis-mutualism, where each partner gets some benefits from its partnership. The partnership was developed to empower black soy beans farmers to provide a guarantee supply of black soybeans with a quantity, quality and price in accordance with the standards established by the Unilever. In cooperation with various stakeholders, Unilever has developed some production centers of black soybeans to fulfill it needs. By doing this, the company is able to improve the quality of life of the farmers. Therefore, this project has fulfilled two different values: economics (business) value and social value.

Published: February 2018

AbstrakKebijakan pembangunan Indonesia yang menekankan pada pertumbuhan telah tersirat pada pengembangan yang terkonsentrasi di wilayah perkotaan. Ini adalah efek dari ruang penyangkalan merebut modal di arena Darwin disebut sebagai "survival of the fittest." Ini adalah arena di mana persaingan sangat ketat dan kompetitif sehingga orang-orang yang kekurangan kemampuan akan dihilangkan. Dalam konteks masyarakat kota, orang-orang yang tidak memiliki apapun kemampuan kompetitif akhirnya akan menjadi kelompok marjinal. Selanjutnya, dalam piramida masyarakat kota, kelompok-kelompok marginal akan membangun komunitas baru yang pasti akan menghasilkan nilai-nilai baru dengan cara dan selera mereka sendiri. Sosiologis, dapat dipahami sebagai munculnya masyarakat dengan nilai-nilai "liyan".Industri dengan pertumbuhan sebagai fokus utamanya telah menciptakan jenis masyarakat anomali (yang membuat kelompok lain atau dirinya sendiri / dirinya tidak ada atau "liyan"). Anomali masyarakat telah direkam dari produksi kesadaran kolektif dengan kepentingan ekonomis sebagai orientasi utama. Ini akan memunculkan satu-dimensi-masyarakat yang membuat modal mencari cara-cara hidup mereka dalam kehidupan. Bahkan kondisi ini telah menghilangkan ruang publik dalam komunikasi masyarakat.Kata kunci: anomali masyarakat, kebijakan, pertumbuhan industri AbstractThe policy of Indonesian development emphasizing on the growth has implied on the concentrated development in the city areas. It is the effect of the contesting space seizing capital is in the arena Darwin called as “survival of the fittest.” It is an arena where competition is very tight and higly competitive so the ones who are lack of capability will be naturally eliminated. In the context of the city society, the ones who don’t possess any competitive ability will finally become the marginal groups. Next, in the pyramid of city society, those marginal groups will build a new community who will surely produce the new values with their own ways and tastes. Sociologically, it is understood as the emergence of society with truly “liyan” values of the natural pyramid of the city society before the urbanisation waves happen. Industrial growth emphasizing on the economic growth has implied on how an individual or a group interact with others. Then the main building of the interactions will finally come to economical interests and the non-existence of the human values. At the end the common spaces which are built together will always be in the economical perspective.Key words: anomalous society, industrial growth, policy
Elementary Thermal Operations
Authors: Lostaglio Matteo , Alhambra Álvaro M. , Perry Christopher
Published: February 2018

To what extent do thermodynamic resource theories capture physically relevant constraints? Inspired by quantum computation, we define a set of elementary thermodynamic gates that only act on 2 energy levels of a system at a time. We show that this theory is well reproduced by a Jaynes-Cummings interaction in rotating wave approximation and draw a connection to standard descriptions of thermalisation. We then prove that elementary thermal operations present tighter constraints on the allowed transformations than thermal operations. Mathematically, this illustrates the failure at finite temperature of fundamental theorems by Birkhoff and Muirhead-Hardy-Littlewood-Polya concerning stochastic maps. Physically, this implies that stronger constraints than those imposed by single-shot quantities can be given if we tailor a thermodynamic resource theory to the relevant experimental scenario. We provide new tools to do so, including necessary and sufficient conditions for a given change of the population to be possible. As an example, we describe the resource theory of the Jaynes-Cummings model. Finally, we initiate an investigation into how our resource theories can be applied to Heat Bath Algorithmic Cooling protocols.

The objective of this study was to assess the radiation dose in computed
tomography examinations of rabbits using different examination protocols and
to correlate these values with the activity of antioxidant enzymes in their
red blood cells following irradiation. The presented results revealed that a
single, routine computed tomography scan exposure led to a different response
of the activity of antioxidant enzymes in red blood cells regarding both dose
and time. The results indicate that there is a dose threshold that is about
25 mGy. Doses below that level do not produce any significant changes in the
level of antioxidant enzymes activity. On the other hand, the level just
above that threshold had a significant impact on the antioxidant defence, but
in a relatively short time period (2 hours after exposure), compared to the
higher dose that requires a longer adaptive period.
Construction and psychometric evaluation of a short form of the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire
Authors: Stojkovic Irena , Ducic Bojan , Kaljaca Svetlana , Djordjevic Mirjana
Published: February 2018

Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) represents a group of personality traits expressed in limitations in social relations and pragmatic speech dimension, and rigid behavior. The Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ) measures personality traits which are crucial in defining the BAP. In the present research, three studies were conducted with the general aim to create a short form of the BAPQ. Study 1 was carried out to determine the factor structure of the BAPQ in a sample of 501 students and to select items for the short form. Obtained components: Aloofness, Rigidity, and Pragmatics, corresponding to the structure of the instrument proposed by authors, accounted for 26.61% of variance. Study 2 was conducted to examine factor structure of the BAPQ short form (BAPQ-SF), in a sample of 298 students. This solution explained 45.76% of the total variance. The aim of Study 3 was to determine psychometric characteristics of the BAPQ-SF in a sample of students (N = 294). Three-factor model of the BAPQ-SF was confirmed. Correlations of the BAPQ-SF with the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and the Delta 10 suggest convergent and discriminant validity of the BAPQ-SF.
The Value to Management of Using the Internal Audit Function as a Management Training Ground
Authors: Carcello Joseph V. , Eulerich Marc , Masli Adi , Wood David A.
Published: February 2018

SYNOPSIS

This study examines how using the internal audit function as a management training ground (MTG) impacts managers' reliance on internal auditor recommendations. While prior research suggests that using internal audits as a MTG can adversely affect financial reporting quality, external audit fees, and internal audit efficiency, many internal audit functions use this practice. We study how this practice influences another important stakeholder—senior management. Based on survey results of 355 chief audit executives (CAEs), we find that CAEs perceive senior management to be more likely to use recommendations from MTG internal auditors than non-MTG internal auditors. To bolster the validity of these findings and provide evidence as to why this is the case, we conduct two experiments with 147 executives (47 MTurk workers) with an average of about 25 (13) years of experience. The experimental results confirm the survey results. We also find that the key reason why managers rely more on MTG than non-MTG recommendations is that MTG internal auditors are perceived to have more natural ability, which is a key driver in managers' reliance decisions. Taken together, our research provides the first empirical evidence that there are positive consequences to using the internal audit function as a MTG in contrast to the negative consequences previously reported.

Published: February 2018

Genome-wide association studies link the CDKN2A/B locus with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, but mechanisms increasing risk remain unknown. The CDKN2A/B locus encodes cell cycle inhibitors p14, p15, and p16; MTAP; and ANRIL, a long noncoding RNA. The goal of this study was to determine whether CDKN2A/B T2D risk SNPs impact locus gene expression, insulin secretion, or β-cell proliferation in human islets. Islets from donors without diabetes (n = 95) were tested for SNP genotype (rs10811661, rs2383208, rs564398, and rs10757283), gene expression (p14, p15, p16, MTAP, ANRIL, PCNA, KI67, and CCND2), insulin secretion (n = 61), and β-cell proliferation (n = 47). Intriguingly, locus genes were coregulated in islets in two physically overlapping cassettes: p14-p16-ANRIL, which increased with age, and MTAP-p15, which did not. Risk alleles at rs10811661 and rs2383208 were differentially associated with expression of ANRIL, but not p14, p15, p16, or MTAP, in age-dependent fashion, such that younger homozygous risk donors had higher ANRIL expression, equivalent to older donor levels. We identified several risk SNP combinations that may impact locus gene expression, suggesting possible mechanisms by which SNPs impact locus biology. Risk allele carriers at ANRIL coding SNP rs564398 had reduced β-cell proliferation index. In conclusion, CDKN2A/B locus SNPs may impact T2D risk by modulating islet gene expression and β-cell proliferation.

OBJECTIVE

To compare the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery versus intensive medical diabetes and weight management (IMWM) on clinical and patient-reported outcomes in obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We prospectively randomized 38 obese patients with type 2 diabetes (15 male and 23 female, with mean ± SD weight 104 ± 16 kg, BMI 36.3 ± 3.4 kg/m2, age 52 ± 6 years, and HbA1c 8.5 ± 1.3% [69 ± 14 mmol/mol]) to laparoscopic RYGB (n = 19) or IMWM (n = 19). Changes in weight, HbA1c, cardiovascular risk factors (UKPDS risk engine), and self-reported health status (the 36-Item Short-Form [SF-36] survey, Impact of Weight on Quality of Life [IWQOL] instrument, and Problem Areas in Diabetes Survey [PAID]) were assessed.

RESULTS

After 3 years, the RYGB group had greater weight loss (mean −24.9 kg [95% CI −29.5, −20.4] vs. −5.2 [−10.3, −0.2]; P < 0.001) and lowering of HbA1c (−1.79% [−2.38, −1.20] vs. −0.39% [−1.06, 0.28] [−19.6 mmol/mol {95% CI −26.0, −13.1} vs. −4.3 {−11.6, 3.1}]; P < 0.001) compared with the IMWM group. Changes in cardiometabolic risk for coronary heart disease and stroke were all more favorable in RYGB versus IMWM (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01). IWQOL improved more after RYGB (P < 0.001), primarily due to subscales of physical function, self-esteem, and work performance. SF-36 and PAID scores improved in both groups, with no difference between treatments. A structural equation model demonstrated that improvement in overall quality of life was more strongly associated with weight loss than with improved HbA1c and was manifest by greater improvements in IWQOL than with either SF-36 or PAID.

CONCLUSIONS

Three years after randomization to RYGB versus IMWM, surgery produced greater weight loss, lower HbA1c, reduced cardiovascular risk, and improvements in obesity-related quality of life in obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Filter spam yang disediakan oleh situs penyedia layanan email seperti yahoo, gmail, aim mail, windows live hotmail, dan masih banyak lagi yang lainnya, merupakan fasilitas yang sangat bermanfaat bagi para usernya. Filter spam tidak akan berfungsi sebagaimana yang diharapkan oleh user client. Pada saat alamat email para client sudah pernah di subscribe dengan tujuan tertentu seperti misalnya untuk registrasi mailing list, newsgroup, dan lain sebagainya, maka alamat emailnya itu sudah tidak aman lagi dari para spammer. Pada dasarnya para admin mail server hanya menggunakan secara langsung filter spam yang disediakan oleh mail server yang diinstal, tanpa memberikan penyettingan tertentu yang dibutuhkan client sama sekali. Para user sendiri yang seharusnya lebih aktif dalam menyaring spam pada email yang digunakan dengan banyak cara. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan aplikasi mail client Thunderbird untuk menyaring spam dengan metode Bayesian sebagai kelanjutan dari menyaring spam yang sudah tersaring sebelumnya pada sisi mail server dan bertujuan menganalisis hasil pengklasifikasian email ham dan email spam pada mail server dan mail client. Disimpulkan bahwa nilai akurasi dan error filter spam pada mail server berhubungan dengan filter Spam-Assassin yang tidak disetting dan dikonfigurasi oleh adminnya menunjukkan hasil yang tidak memuaskan dibandingkan dengan filter spam metode bayesian pada mail client yang sudah di-training.Spam filters provided by your email service provider websites such as yahoo, gmail, AIM mail, windows live hotmail, and many others, is a very powerful feature for the user. The spam filter will not work as expected by the client user. at the time of the email address of the client has been ever subscribe to a specific purpose such as for registration, mailing lists, newsgroups, and so forth, then the email address is no longer safe from spammers. Basically the admin mail server directly using only the spam filter provided by the mail server is installed, without giving a specific setting it takes the client at all. The users themselves are supposed to be more active in the spam filter on the email that is used in many ways. This study utilizes Thunderbird mail client application to filter spam with Bayesian methods as a continuation of the spam filter that has been previously filtered on the mail server and to analyze the results of the classification of ham and spam e-mail on the mail server and mail client. It was concluded that the accuracy and error spam filter on the mail server associated with the filter Spam-Assassin is not be set and configured by the admin showed unsatisfactory results compared with the Bayesian method to filter spam mail client that is already in-training

E-commerce yang menawarkan banyak kemudahan terhadap konsumen belum tentu berhasil hanya dengan membuat website toko online, namun konsumen secara personal juga akan menilai dan menentukan perilaku apa yang akan diambil berdasarkan penilaian secara subyektif dari konsumen terhadap suatu situs e-commerce, apakah konsumen tersebut akan percaya dan selanjutnya dengan senang hati bertukar informasi pribadi dengan situs e-commerce, dan akhirnya mempunyai keinginan untuk bertransaksi atau tidak. Penelitian ini bermaksud menguji pengaruh 3 faktor dalam Trust Building Model (TBM) kaitannya dengan kepercayaan konsumen terhadap e-commerce toko online fashion di Indonesia. Benarkah kepercayaan konsumen di Indonesia disebabkan oleh faktor perceived site quality (kualitas situs yang dirasakan), faktor perceived vendor reputation (reputasi vendor yang dirasakan), dan structural assurance (susunan keamanan) khususnya untuk e-commerce bisnis ke konsumen. Penelitian ini menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) untuk menganalisis masing-masing faktor tersebut dengan meneliti 200 responden yang sudah pernah bertransaksi dan belum pernah bertransaksi namun mempunyai keinginan di kemudian hari dan sudah pernah berkunjung ke situs toko online fashion. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kepercayaan konsumen e-commerce toko online fashion di Indonesia sangat dipengaruhi oleh kualitas website dan susunan keamanan yang tersaji melalui website, sedangkan reputasi vendor melalui website tidak signifikan mempengaruhi konsumen untuk bisa lebih percaya pada suatu vendor toko online fashion.E-commerce that offers a lot of convenience to consumers uncertain of success simply by making the website an online store, but consumers will personally assess and determine what behavior that consumers will take based on consumer’s assessment of an e-commerce site, whether consumer will believe and subsequent gladly exchange personal information with an e-commerce website, and make the transaction or not. This study intends to examine the influence of three factors in the Trust Building Model (TBM) relation with consumer’s trust in e - commerce online store of fashion in Indonesia. Is it true that consumer’s trust in Indonesia is caused by those factors: perceived site quality, perceived vendor reputation, and structural assurance, especially for e-commerce business to consumer. This study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze each of these factors by examining the 200 respondents who had dealings and have never had trade but have willingness to trade later and had ever been to a fashion online store site. The results of this study indicate that consumer’s trust in ecommerce online store of fashion in Indonesia is strongly influenced by the quality of the website and structural assurance presented through the website, while the reputation of the vendor through the website does not significantly influence consumers to be more trust in an online fashion store vendors.
