Objectives. The aim of the present study was to standardize an accurate and significant technique of root separation during socket shield technique. Patients and methods. Two phases of the study were conducted. In vitro study was performed on 20 extracted single-rooted anterior teeth. The second phase was clinical application of the new technique on 10 patients seeking to restore their badly decayed anterior teeth in the esthetic area with immediate implant placement utilizing the socket shield technique. Decoronation was done. The root canal was mechanically enlarged by means of manual assorted files. Canals were further enlarged with Gates Glidden drills. Peeso Reamer drills were used till the root was entirely separated into two parts (buccal & palatal). The palatal root was cautiously removed when the labial and palatal root halves were sufficiently separated. In case the root to be removed was endodontically treated, Gutta-percha was mechanically removed using Gates Glidden, & Gutta-percha solvent to remove the coronal and apical parts. Outcomes. Using manual endodontic K-files, Gates Glidden burs, and Peeso Reamer’s drills in separating the single-rooted teeth into two halves is a reproducible, and reliable procedure during socket shield technique. Conclusions. This technique prevents possible complications of root sectioning during socket shield technique with immediate implant placement. It preserves surrounding soft tissue structures, and labial shield during shield preparations, maintains the integrity of the labial plate of bone during extraction. Additionally, it offers total root apex removal by entirely separating the palatal portion from the labial shield.
Legal Politics of Optimising the Implementation of Regional Autonomy in Urban Areas: Perspective of Smart City Concept
Authors: Bima Muhammad Rinaldy
Published: November 2023

Urban regions face numerous challenges in implementing regional autonomy. The smart city concept has been implemented by cities in various countries to tackle these issues. This article aims to comprehend and assess the political laws selected by the Indonesian government to address the challenges of implementing regional autonomy in urban areas using smart city concepts and indicators. The research method employed was normative research through a statutory regulations approach, in addition to a conceptual approach. The research material was secondary data comprising primary legal materials as well as secondary legal materials amassed via online and offline research at the library. The data was then analyzed in a descriptive manner. The analysis results demonstrate that numerous Indonesian cities have introduced smart city indicators. However, these indicators lack a legal foundation referencing smart city standards. The absence of specific regulations for smart cities in Indonesia has resulted in unstructured and immeasurable implementation. In Indonesia, the closest legal regulations or policies to the concept of a smart city are those outlined in Government Regulation Number 38 of 2017 concerning Innovation. Going forward, it is necessary to establish legal guidelines that contain specific standards for smart cities, from inception to implementation, in order to enhance regional autonomy in urban areas.

Published: November 2023

The condition and potential of this region is quite large in terms of natural resources in fisheries and salt. The large role of salt shows that salt is a very strategic commodity. Apart from salt, Siduwange village is also a village that produces milkfish. The milkfish production is marketed outside, thereby increasing costs and an uncertain market. This is because Gorontalo people are not used to consuming milkfish because there are lots of bones in milkfish. The goal that will be achieved after the Ormawa PPK activities is to improve community skills in making processed ABG milkfish and salt products, guiding and assisting the community in marketing ABG milkfish and salt processed products. Problems faced by the Siduwonge village community include reduced public interest in playing a role in fisheries development, lack of community knowledge to overcome fisheries problems, declining fish production, high costs of shipping fish. The solution to this problem is that the Ormawa PPK Team applies several methods, namely empowering village communities, providing direct assistance to community empowerment activities, sustainability, and building partnership patterns. After attending training, the people of Siduwonge Village now have the skills to make processed fish products to extend their shelf life or sell them. Some processed products are in the form of products such as presto milkfish, fish floss, fish balls and iodized salt.

Authors: Famakinwa Michael , Adeloye Kolawole Adelekan , Oni Oluwatobi Olarewaju
Published: November 2023

The study assessed cocoa farmers’ adaptation strategies for mitigating impacts of climate change on cocoa production in Osun State, Nigeria. It profiled socio-demographic features of cocoa farmers, examined impacts of climate change; determined utilisation of adaptation strategies and examined the barriers to their usage. Data were drawn from 120 cocoa farmers across the state using interview schedule. Appropriate statistical tools were employed to analyse the primary data collected. The findings showed that most of the cocoa farmers (87.5%) were male with a mean age of 54.1± 10.8years. All (100%) cocoa farmers indicated high awareness of climate change. The findings showed that climate change retarded growth of cocoa seedlings and reduced cocoa yield. Key adaptation strategies utilized were planting of shade trees and frequent spraying of cocoa with pesticides. Majority of the cocoa farmers indicated high level of usage of different climate change adaptation strategies. High cost of inputs and unpredictable weather were the major barriers limiting the usage of adaptation strategies. Age (r=-0.501) and years of engagement in farming (r=0.551) were significantly related to the utilization of adaptation strategies. The research concluded that cocoa farmers utilized multiple adaptation strategies at high level to mitigate impacts of climate change to enhance sustainable and optimum cocoa production in Nigeria.
The Relationship Between Climate Risk Disclosure and Performance on Mining Companies: Evidence From A Developing Economy
Authors: MATEMANE Reon , GRACA Nikita
Published: November 2023

The main aim of this study is to develop an unweighted climate risk disclosure index to assess whether climate risk disclosure predicts mining companies’ performance.The catastrophic nature of climate risk has become more topical in recent years. Yet, academic research efforts have been directed to climate risk from the perspective of developed economies only and very little is understood about it in developing economies. 216 firm observations in mining sector for the period covering 2016 through 2021 were analysed using descriptive statistics and estimated generalised least square with period seemingly unrelated regression. The results suggest that the climate risk disclosure is significant in predicting company performance as proxied by earnings per share (EPS), economic value added (EVA) and return on equity (ROE). Policy makers and regulators should encourage companies to intensify climate risk disclosure so as to maximise value and benefit relevant stakeholders. The study contributes to the ongoing debates on climate risk by focusing on extractive industry, mining sector in a developed economy setting. Methodologically, the study developed an unweighted disclosure checklist that can guide companies on pertinent climate risk issues to disclose.

Increasing emissions from mobile sources have become a major focus in terms of health, environmental sustainability, and climate change. South Tangerang City is the Indonesian city with the highest yearly average pollution level. This study's objectives are to quantify the levels of pollutant concentrations that endanger human health and the environment and to devise a plan for reducing the pollution brought on by vehicle emissions. This study used an analytic observational research design. Data was taken from 32 points in 7 sub-districts in the city of South Tangerang with human and environmental samples. Human samples using the Hazard Quotient. Data is processed using Stella for the next 30 years. HQ value of PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and CO pollution has risen to greater than 1, endangering human health. CO and PM2.5, with HQ values of 3.315 and 1.644, both present serious health concerns. The accumulation of PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and CO pollutants over the next 30 years will have a substantial impact on South Tangerang's environmental conditions. South Tangerang could encourage the growth of a smart city by supporting the use of electric vehicles. Human health is at risk due to the increase in the HQ value of PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and CO pollution above 1. The environmental conditions in South Tangerang be significantly impacted by PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and CO pollutants over the ensuing 30 years. A mitigation strategy is needed in the form of smart transportation in the form of electric vehicles

Theatre translation
Authors: Čebulj Živa
Published: November 2023

The article analyses the textual changes that occur in the process of staging a performance based on a translated text. Drawing on Morini’s four types of theatre translation, namely the interlingual, intralingual, intersemiotic, and intrasemiotic aspects of theatre translation (emerging from Jakobson’s classification of translation), the article focuses on the differences between the translated text and the text spoken on the stage through the analysis of the Slovene performance of Sad Songs from the Heart of Europe by the Finnish author Kristian Smeds, translated into Slovene by Julija Potrč Šavli. The play, directed by the Finnish theatre director Jari Juutinen, was performed at the Slovene theatre Slovensko ljudsko gledališče Celje by the Slovene actress Maša Grošelj. As the author of the article participated in staging this play as a language consultant, the article provides an insight into the process, and reveals why and how the changes to the text occurred. As the analyses of the written and staged texts show, the majority of the textual changes were introduced by various agents involved in the production of the play, while some were also due to the multimodal interactions between different theatre modes (speech, scenography, sound, light, props, etc.).
Second funeral rituals and integration of the dead with the living among the Nawfia of Southeastern Nigeria
Authors: Ugwu Ugochukwu Titus
Published: November 2023

This study explores the second funeral rituals practiced among the Nawfia of Southeastern Nigeria and their integration of the dead with the living. Second funerals are traditionally conducted by the Nawfia to honor and celebrate the lives of their deceased family members. Through detailed ethnographic interviews and focus group discussion (FGD), this research examines the customs, practices, and beliefs related to second funeral rituals and the integration of the dead with the living. The study reveals that second funerals are seen as an important part of the grieving process and are conducted to provide closure to the grieving family members. Findings of this study also reveals that the rituals often involve the preparation of a special meal and libation and blessings. Additionally, participants discuss the idea that the dead can “witness” these rituals from the spirit realm and that these rituals serve as a source of comfort for grieving family members. The study further explores the ways in which these rituals serve to integrate the dead with the closer connection between those who have passed and those who remain. The study also suggest that the rituals create a sense of security, as they provide a sense of continuity and hope for the future. Overall, this study provides important insights into the second funeral rituals and the integration of the dead with the living among the Nawfia of Southeastern Nigeria. This research highlights the importance of these rituals and sheds light on the traditions, customs, and beliefs associated with them. It also offers valuable implications for both grief counseling and the preservation of cultural heritage.
proficient use of Enterprise Content Management systems for access and use of records for decision-making
Authors: Momoti Nikiwe
Published: November 2023

The paper critically reviews literature on Enterprise Content Management Systems (ECMS). The paper argues that previous studies do not address the complete implementation process of the ECMS. The focus of previous studies has been on the pre-deployment and the actual use of ECMS, leaving out the proficient use of the ECMS after deployment. This paper reviews 43 publications on factors that contribute to the proficient use of the ECMS to access and use records with the aim of determining the current state of knowledge on the subject. The paper reveals that continuous ECMS training; change management and awareness programmes; access to the system by all staff; a robust Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure for continuous accessibility of the system; integration with existing records producing systems; compliance with legislation, standards, and policies are enablers for the proficient use of ECMs. However, publications on access to the ECMS by all staff and compliance with legislation, standards, and policies, were scarce. Therefore, an agenda for future ECM research is suggested. In addition, the paper proposes a conceptual framework to guide organisations on success factors to consider before, during, and after deployment of an ECMS to facilitate access and use of records. The paper is significant in that it identifies gaps where further research is needed as well as applicable research approaches to be explored in future studies. In addition to contributing to electronic records management and ECM research, the proposed conceptual framework may be used for future studies and to guide ECM strategies.
Polski Instytut Naukowy w Ameryce a organizacje diaspory ukraińskiej – współpraca naukowa i kulturalna
Authors: Flis Iwona
Published: November 2023

Polski Instytut Naukowy w Ameryce w trakcie swojej osiemdziesięcioletniej historii wielokrotnie współpracował z organizacjami innych grup etnicznych funkcjonujących za oceanem, zwłaszcza z organizacjami akademickimi i kulturalnymi reprezentującymi diaspory z Europy Wschodniej. Wśród nich szczególne miejsce zajmują organizacje ukraińskie, a zwłaszcza Towarzystwo Naukowe im. Szewczenki i Ukraińska Wolna Akademia Nauk. Artykuł omawia płaszczyzny współpracy instytucjonalnej, w tym przykłady wspólnie zorganizowanych przedsięwzięć. Jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytania: czy kooperacja między organizacjami była okazjonalna, czy wpisywała się w długoterminowe zamierzenia organizacji, a także na jakich polach organizacje zbudowały wspólną reprezentację.

The Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America and Ukrainian diasporic organizations – academic and cultural cooperation

The Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America (PIASA) in its eight decades of history frequently collaborated with organizations of other ethnic groups in the U.S., particularly with academic and cultural organizations of East and Central Europe diasporas. Among them strong ties have been established with Ukrainian organizations, especially the Shevchenko Scientific Society and the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences. The paper describes levels and forms of institutional cooperation. It tries to answer the following questions: was this collaboration accidental or rather resulting from PIASA’s long-term vision and goals? In what fields partners managed to build joint representation?
Granica jako zasób, granica jako wehikuł czasu. Społeczne reprezentacje diaspor na pograniczu rosyjsko-chińskim
Authors: Szmyt Zbigniew
Published: November 2023

Jednym z efektów rosyjskiej wojny domowej (1917–1922) była emigracja na niespotykaną wcześniej skalę. Z azjatyckiej części Rosji masowo emigrowali też przedstawiciele rodzimych mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych. Emigranci ci stworzyli szereg diaspor zamieszkujących strefy pograniczne z ZSRR. Władza radziecka traktowała te społeczności jako wrogie, a hermetyczny charakter sowieckiej granicy sprawiał, że kontakt pomiędzy diasporami a krajem pochodzenia był znikomy. Wraz z rozpadem ZSRR i otwarciem granic diaspory zaczęły odgrywać ważną rolę w tzw. odrodzeniu etnicznym mniejszości w Rosji. Inkorporacja dotychczas demonizowanych, nielojalnych i wrogich pogranicznych społeczności wymagała wprowadzenia nowych dyskursów i reprezentacji w lokalnych historiach publicznych. Na przykładzie buriackiej diaspory w Chinach artykuł pokazuje proces włączania diaspor w pole polityki etnicznej na Syberii i negocjowania ich statusu społecznego we współczesnej Rosji.

The Border as a Resource, the Border as a Time Machine. Social Representations of Diasporas on the Sino-Russian Frontier

These emigrants created a number of diasporas inhabiting the border zones with the USSR. The Soviet authorities treated these communities as hostile, and the hermetic nature of the Soviet border meant that contact between the diasporas and the country of origin was negligible. With thecollapse of the USSR and the opening of the borders of the diaspora, they began to play an essential role in the so-called ethnic revival of minorities in Russia. The incorporation of previously demonized, disloyal, and hostile frontier communities required the introduction of new discourses and representations in local public histories. On the example of the Buryat diaspora in China, the article shows the process of including diasporas in the field of ethnic politics in Siberia and negotiating their social status in contemporary Russia.

Authors: Rovai Serena , Pasquinelli Cecilia , Teh Carmen
Published: November 2023

Although the application of new-age technologies accelerated the orientation towards the online retailing journey in the pandemic context, the role of the physical store is still central in luxury shopping. The literature highlighted the growing impact of new-age technologies and Artificial Intelligence on consumer shopping experiences and retailing. Multiple factors are influencing luxury fashion and certainly technology changes are impacting clients’ behaviours and expectations. This study explores the critical impact of AI on in-store atmospherics, influencing the consumer in-store shopping experience. Cross-fertilising the DAST (Design, Ambient, Social and Trialability) model framing consumers’ experience with the growing literature on AI in retailing, this research empirically explores Chinese millennial consumers, a segment of tech-savvy consumers with a significant impact on global luxury markets. Based on 72 interviews with consumers and 12 interviews with luxury retail experts, this research elicits and discusses a set of factors framing the transversal role of AI in in-store atmospherics, framing its impact on the customer shopping experience. The study concludes by opening future research streams and critical appraisal of AI’s transformational impacts on luxury retailing.

Authors: Li Yulong , Vieira, Jr. Edward T. , Trefalt Spela
Published: November 2023

This study takes the triple bottom-line perspective to compare the communications of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in some of world’s top automakers’ mission statements and the CEO’s introductory letters to annual CSR reports before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Content analysis based on Text Network Analysis (TNA) approach was deployed to examine the central messages and sub-themes of these documents based on CSR goals, time-orientation, and stakeholder groups, and then statistically compared within and among companies. Results reveal that Automakers’ mission statements collectively emphasized profit and customers, whereas CSR letters prioritized planet, people, and general society. As the pandemic progressed, the emphasis on people increased, indicating that organizations shifted their CSR focus towards supporting employees and local communities. However, the attention to profit and planet goals remained constant during the studied period.

The results show that online channels are the most popular purchasing channels for cosmetics and clarify the most significant factors that lead to cosmetic online shopping.
Social Creation. A New Concept for Social Sciences and Humanities
Authors: Aiello Emilia , Joanpere Mar
Published: November 2023

Social impact assessment in Social Sciences builds a base of knowledge transparency and direct involvement in social inequality, creating an alternative to the stagnation of scientific results and allowing them to become a real impact through society improvements. Four parameters inform and measure the degree of researchers' involvement in a scientific project and the improvements that this generates in society. These parameters are: Dissemination, Transfer, Impact and Social Creation. Social improvement does not come until impact is achieved, since dissemination does not ensure knowledge application, and transfer does not ensure that its application generates improvement as even sometimes its generates deterioration. However, we can achieve social impact by writing scientific publications about successful social realities that others have done. The new concept of social creation is a step beyond, and defines the process when from social research itself new successful social realities that improve society in ways that hitherto had not existed emerge.
(k − 2)-linear connected components in hypergraphs of rank k
Authors: Galliot Florian , Gravier Sylvain , Sivignon Isabelle
Published: November 2023

We define a q-linear path in a hypergraph H as a sequence (e_1,...,e_L) of edges of H such that |e_i ∩ e_i+1 | ∈ [[1, q]] and e_i ∩ e_j = ∅ if |i − j| > 1. In this paper, we study the connected components associated to these paths when q = k − 2 where k is the rank of H. If k = 3 then q = 1 which coincides with the well-known notion of linear path or loose path. We describe the structure of the connected components, using an algorithmic proof which shows that the connected components can be computed in polynomial time. We then mention two consequences of our algorithmic result. The first one is that deciding the winner of the Maker-Breaker game on a hypergraph of rank 3 can be done in polynomial time. The second one is that tractable cases for the NP-complete problem of "Paths Avoiding Forbidden Pairs" in a graph can be deduced from the recognition of a special type of line graph of a hypergraph.

Abstract. The global innovation index is used to evaluate the innovation environment in the country. The components included in this index mainly consider human knowledge and education. Human capital is one of the most important drivers of economic growth and innovation.

The growth of investments in human capital will contribute to the growth of the economic value of education, the correct distribution of resources, and the correct management of state policy.

The purpose of our research is to justify the need to invest in human capital and to evaluate its effectiveness, which is the main factor in the development of the innovative economy in the current period. In order to evaluate the effectiveness between the innovative economy and human capital, we conducted a study in companies. The research examines the attitude of employers and employees working in the Adjara region towards professional growth events (training/seminars) that are directly related to innovative technologies.

Spending on education today is one of the most important ways to earn a higher income in the future. The amount of human capital in a country depends on education, that's why in developed countries, the effectiveness and strategies of investing in education are measured by the cost-benefit ratio.

According to the Global Innovation Index, Georgia is in the category of upper-middle income countries. According to the 2022 report, Georgia showed high results in only 2 out of 7 categories.

However, it should also be noted that the components of the index are based more on quantitative indicators than on qualitative indicators, so a single index cannot be a perfect estimator.

Geology, Petrography, and Geochemistry of Younger Granites and Related Radioactive Pegmatite from Gabal El Urf Area, North Eastern Desert, Egypt: Implications for the Evolution of the NYF-Type Rare-Elements Granitic Pegmatite
Authors: Abdel Hamid Amr , Seddik Seddik , Hassan Mohamed , Abdel Hamid Hicham
Published: November 2023

Gabal El Urf region is located in the northern Egyptian Eastern Desert and overlain essentially by older and younger granitoids of Late Proterozoic age. These granitoids contain numerous outcrops of pegmatites, mostly occurring as dikes and veins or huge separated masses. In the contrary, pegmatites form lens-like bodies enclosed within the younger granites along their margins. Previous radiometric surveys showed anomalous concentrations of radioactivity on pegmatite body, located to the south of the study region. The younger granites and the associated radioactive pegmatite are studied in details with the aim to describe this pegmatite, petrogenesis and its relation with the encolsing granite. The younger granites are monzogranite and syenogranite according to mineralogical and chemical classification. Petrographically, the two younger granitic phases are strikingly similar. Both consist of potash feldspar, plagioclase and biotite with some hornblende in the earlier phase. Gabal El Urf younger granites are categorized as highly fractionated I-type granites with metaluminous to mildly peraluminous characters, which emplaced at 600 ± 11 Ma in post-collisional environment. The radioactive pegmatite is located within the syenogranite and enriched with Zr, Nb, Ta, Y, Th, U and REEs; accordingly it was classified as NYF-type rare-elements pegmatite. Metal-bearing generations of minerals within the rare-elements pegmatite include zircon, uranothorite, betafite, aeschynite, fluorite, pyrite and ilmenite.
Multiple and Coherent Noise Removal from X-Profile 2D Seismic Data of Southern Iraq Using Common Depth Point Muting Procedures and Depending on Madagascar Open-Source Package

This article describes how to predict different types of multiple reflections in pre-track seismic data. The characteristics of multiple reflections can be expressed as a combination of the characteristics of primary reflections. Multiple velocities always come in lower magnitude than the primaries, this is the base for separating them during Normal Move Out correction. The muting procedure is applied in Time-Velocity analysis domain. Semblance plot is used to diagnose multiples availability and judgment for muting dimensions. This processing procedure is used to eliminate internal multiples from real 2D seismic data from southern Iraq in two stages. The first is conventional Normal Move Out correction and velocity auto picking and stacking, and the second stage is muting. Many Common Depth Point gathers are tested to select the proper muting dimension, later on; the auto pick for the muted semblance is done for the whole 2D seismic data. The following step is to stack the Normal Move Out corrected data. Differences are calculated between the two stages of the process which greatly help to determine the eliminated multiple locations within the sedimentary secession. This will reduce the risk of interpreting these sequences as primary reflectors spatially within deep thin layers. Madagascar open source package is used in these processing steps. Madagascar open source package is very efficient, accurate, and easy to correct any part of the Python code used in the two stages of processing.

Introdução: A dislipidemia é considerada um dos fatores de risco mais importantes para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares. Como resultado, tratamentos efetivos com fármacos foram desenvolvidos para combatê-la, porém, apresentam alto custo e efeitos colaterais. Considerando este fato, tem-se recorrido a tratamentos utilizando alimentos funcionais conhecidos científica e popularmente por possuírem efeito hipolipemiante, dentre eles os antioxidantes. Os frutos Goji Berry ((GB) Lycium barbarum), reconhecidamente potentes antioxidantes, vêm sendo estudados, quanto ao seu potencial hipolipemiante. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do tratamento com Goji Berry liofilizado na dislipidemia induzida por triton WR 1339 em camundongos. Materiais e Métodos: Foram realizados dois tratamentos que se distinguiram apenas no período de duração, 2 e 15 dias. Em cada tratamento os animais foram divididos em quatro grupos: Grupo 1 (controle SHAM); Grupo 2, (controle Triton 400 mg/kg. i.p) , Grupo 3 (GB 50mg/kg, p.o) e Grupo 4 (GB 100mg/kg, p.o) Resultados: Os resultados mostraram uma redução significativa  nos níveis séricos de colesterol total (CT), Tiglicerídeos e LDL no tratamento agudo, 2 dias. Por outro lado, após tratamento de 15 dias, os níveis plasmáticos de Triglicerídeos e LDL estavam aumentados e CT com discreta diminuição. Em ambos os tratamentos os níveis séricos de HDL foram reduzidos, por provável viés do modelo Conclusão: Os dados obtidos permitem concluir o fruto de Goji Berry tem potencial hipolipêmico, sendo necessários mais estudos para determinação da melhor e mais segura forma de ingerir esses alimentos de forma a se beneficiar de suas propriedades funcionais.
