In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of chronic periodontal diseases. The problem of their widespread distribution and the need for their treatment is one of the priorities of modern dentistry. Periodontal bone defects are the result of chronic periodontitis if timely measures are not taken to stop the inflammatory process. The goal of periodontal treatment is to remove all deposits of supra- and subgingival dental plaque and calculus (containing periodontopathogens) and their plaque-retentive factors and to promote complete regeneration of the tooth-supporting structures lost up to that point. Until now, autogenous, platelet-rich plasma has been widely used in various fields of medicine. Because of the equivalent results obtained and the lower cost, in dentistry, autogenous platelet-rich plasma is increasingly the preferred material over others that have proven to be reliable over time. Summarizing the results of various authors who used autogenous platelet-rich plasma alone or in combination with other materials for the purpose of regeneration of vertical bone defects, it is clear that PRP significantly accelerates the restorative and regenerative processes in the periodontium.

Authors: Justine Immanuel , Makungu Modesta
Published: September 2023

Dental diseases are common in dogs with a prevalence of more than 80% in some breeds of dogs. They cause damage to oral health and may act as a source of bacteria causing other diseases such as endocarditis, pneumonia and arthritis. A cross section study was conducted to determine the current status on the occurrence of dental diseases in dogs attended at Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) Teaching Animal Hospital in Morogoro, Tanzania. A total of 87 dogs were examined macroscopically for the presence of dental diseases. Dogs examined in this study ranged from medium (93.1%) to large (6.9%) sized, and up to 73.6% were mixed-breed. The minimum and maximum ages of the dogs were 6 and 72 months, respectively, with majority being females (60.9%). The proportions of intact, spayed and castrated were 92%, 5.8% and 2.3%, respectively. Of the 87 dogs examined, 62.1% had different kinds of dental diseases. The frequently observed dental diseases were; dental deposits (43.7%), missing teeth (24.1%), periodontal disease (20.7%), dental attrition (16.1%), and dental abrasion (10.3%). Further, it was noted that none of the dogs had been previous underwent routine dental check-up or anaesthetised for dental cleaning. This study indicates that dental diseases are frequent in dogs attended at SUA Teaching Animal Hospital. Therefore, it is recommended that routine dental examination should be performed in dogs presented at the Teaching Animal Hospital. Further, there is a need for educating dog breeders and owners on the importance of dental home care.

Understanding the reproductive activity or seasonal variation in comprehensive evaluations of the nutritional quality and safety of the razor clam Sinonovacula constricta (Lamarck) is important for improving product quality and economic benefits. The contents of moisture (from 80.12±0.38 to 84.98±0.40%), protein (from 53.14±0.06 to 63.12±0.69% DW), lipid (from 4.55±0.19 to 5.69±0.35% DW), glycogen (from 5.40±1.11 to 16.13±1.55% DW), and ash (from 12.03±0.33 to 19.86±0.56% DW) varied significantly at different gonadal development cycles or seasons. Glycogen, lipid, and protein variations were closely associated with gonadal development, with the lowest levels of lipid and protein in the spawning period. Moreover, S. constricta consistently had a well-balanced essential amino acid profile throughout the year, indicating that it is a source of high-quality protein. The predominant free amino acids in S. constricta were taurine, glycine, lysine, and alanine, which are important contributors to the flavor. S. constricta was defined as lean fat throughout the gonad cycle with polyunsaturated fatty acid accounting for the majority in the active and maturing stages. Microbiological quality and total volatile basic nitrogen were associated with the alteration of seasons. The optimal harvesting time of S. constricta was the inactive stage of most gonads in spring (from March to April in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, China).

Non-domestic building stock: linking dynamics and spatial distributions
Authors: Kretzschmar Daniel , Schiller Georg
Published: September 2023

In contrast to domestic buildings, the drivers influencing the stock dynamics (construction subtracted by demolition) of non-domestic buildings (NDB) have not yet been researched on a use-class basis. For the first time, due to elaborated data sets on construction and demolition of NDB in Germany, an in-depth analysis of causal relationships is provided at a subnational level. This paper investigates the cause–effect relationships between influencing variables and stock dynamics of the three quantitatively most relevant use classes of the German NDB stock: office buildings, industrial buildings and warehouses. Influencing variables on the development of the stock were first identified by means of expert interviews. Regions with high construction dynamics were identified. Within these highly dynamic regions, construction activity was correlated with influencing variables. A principal component analysis was used to examine the explanatory power of underlying, use-class-specific components of the variable set. The results show the particular importance of employment-related variables. They combine demographic, economic and wealth-related influences and allow for a distinction to be made in relation to functional non-domestic-use classes. For the first time, this confirms that different use classes of NDB are characterised by different influencing variables, and that these variables recur to uncorrelated overarching drivers.
Practice relevance
This study identifies the drivers of NDB stock dynamics. These drivers can be used to estimate future changes of the NDB stock on different scales. The linkages to specific use-class drivers allow new understandings of stock dynamics for office, industrial and warehouse buildings at a regional level. This has potential application to circular economy approaches as the results of this research can be applied at city levels. This study can provide a clearer understanding of future construction material volumes and their respective recycling capacities. The same is applicable for research on stock-driven land demand. This study can contribute to the broader discussion on the future development of the non-residential building stock and the resulting environmental impacts due to land use, energy and material consumption or CO2 emissions.
Educação sexual no ensino de Biologia
Authors: Simon Gimena Andressa Venturini , Gouvêa da Silva Antonio Fernando
Published: September 2023

Este trabalho se constitui em uma análise documental do livro didático, coleção disponibilizada para as escolas da rede pública do Estado de São Paulo, elaborado pelos autores Sônia Lopes e Sergio Rosso. O problema da pesquisa preocupa-se em apontar o quanto a centralização do livro didático, como principal meio de ensino, pode limitar o papel transformador do ensino-aprendizagem, anulando as experiências reais de vida das educandas, educandos, educadoras e educadores. A investigação partiu de um ponto de vista qualitativo, em análise do texto e imagens do livro, a partir das discussões sobre as dimensões culturais da educação sexual, articuladas com a concepção de pedagogia crítica de Paulo Freire e o conceito de experiência autêntica de Walter Benjamin. Os resultados evidenciaram uma linguagem embutida de valores morais tendenciados por uma visão biologizante que reforçam os papéis de gênero, sem espaço para problematização de situações reais de preconceito e opressão. Conclui-se, então, a importância de descentralizar o livro didático da prática pedagógica, e buscar construir, com as educandas e educandos, sujeitos do conhecimento, a experiência autêntica de ensino-aprendizagem que busca a superação e transformação da realidade.

A Techno-Economic Comparison of a Stand-alone Hybrid System for a Household: A Case Study for the Royal Commission in Saudi Arabia
Authors: AMIN MAJDI
Published: September 2023

The trend is now to use renewable energy sources to improve energy efficiency in the building sector and preserve the environment. The use of sources as renewable off-grid applications for driven applications in home sector (micro-grids) is very interesting nowadays. The economic factor and the cost of establishing these grids is the main obstacle to these investments. One of the key solutions to reduce the cost and increase the reliability of these grids is how to optimally determine the ratings and combination of some renewable sources based on the location of the house. This paper presents an effective techno-economical design of a stand-alone hybrid system. The system contains a photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine, battery, and diesel generator. This design is performed through an extensive examination of the techno-economical design of a standalone system to provide the desired energy load for a typical household building for both Albaha and Buraydah cities in Saudi Arabia. These two cities have different geographical locations as Albaha is located at latitude 20.0217 degrees north while Buraydah is located at 26.3592 degrees north. These two cities were selected due to the difference in their geographical locations to study the effect of the weather on the building performance in terms of cost of energy, energy penetration, and load met.

To enhance the performance of the proposed hybrid system, some constraints were selected, such as Net Present Cost (NPC), and Total Annual Cost (TAC). Results demonstrate that stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems can be applied to improve energy efficiency and economics of the existing buildings. Integration of PV system, wind turbine, battery, and diesel generator in the best configuration can provide a minimum cost of energy of about $0.596/kWh and $0.603/kWh for Albaha and Buraydah cities, respectively.

Exploring the Contemporary Relevance of Aldo Leopold’s Land Ethics in Environmental Conservation
Authors: Sadhukhan Priyanka
Published: September 2023

There is little doubt that Aldo Leopold (1887–1948) was the person who had the greatest impact on the creation of an economic environmental ethics. Science is the basis of his environmental ethics. In reality, ecology as we know it today was created during his lifetime, and it would not be overstating the case to claim that he was the first to advocate for a fundamental rethinking of ethics in the context of science. The essay ‘Land Ethic’ in this book is a methodical explanation of an eco-centric ethics from his collection of essays, which was published posthumously as A Sand Country Almanac (1949). This essay makes an attempt to examine Aldo Leopold’s environmental management principles. Because Aldo Leopold views the environment as an organic totality with values latent in ideas like integrity and stability, health, and well-being, this book praises his “land ethic.” This paper, however, critiqued Aldo Leopold’s “Land Ethics” because it believed that his understanding of the organic model of ecological systems was flawed. This is due to the possibility of species within an ecosystem existing independently of the organism. The ‘land ethic’ of Aldo Leopold is therefore not comprehensive enough.

Published: September 2023

Seeing the status and professional development of teachers, principals and other pedagogical specialists has been the focus of the pedagogical academic community in university environments for four years now. Answers to the questions are still being sought in the various pedagogical faculties: How should teachers in the PNUP specialty prepare to be teachers, so that their professional competences are built with a high quality of professionalization? How should educators evaluate future teachers in this process of university education? How does the quality of teacher preparation relate to institutional interaction and the quality of education? An answer to these questions in the present exposition is sought in the proof of the thesis that teachers become professionals when the subjects in the process of interaction that they manage are a starting point in the direction of their professional activities.
STYLE AND HABITUS: HUSSERL’S SHIFT FROM EMPATHY TO COMMUNICATION
Authors: Pantev Boris
Published: September 2023

This article explores the key role of “experiential style” (Erfahrungsstil) in Husserl’s account of social habituality. It demonstrates the developmental bridge this concept throws between the distinct intentionalities of empathy and communalization. The importance of Erfahrungsstil in Husserl has largely escaped scholarly attention. I claim, however, that in his later work, it becomes an inherent component to the relational dynamics of intermonadic temporalization, the process which underpins the generative constitution of sociality and opens a possibility for a transcendental phenomenological anthropology, a project Husserl only sketched out but never ventured on
Los fundamentos para una concepción de justicia a partir de la lucha entre escuelas jurídicas
Authors: Vivanco Nuñez Pierre
Published: September 2023

Fundamentos para una concepción de justicia a través de la lucha entre escuelas jurídicas es un libro que explica la superación de la inconmensurabilidad entre diálogos jurídicos generados dentro un proceso judicial; inconmensurabilidad que promueve la doblegación inmediata de cualquier concepción de justicia que dispongan las partes procesales con la concepción de justicia del sistema judicial vigente, acto arbitrario que confirma a esta concepción como el único sistema verdadero, definitivo y superior, dignode ser seguido, aunque no haya sido debidamente fundamentado para ser motivode paradigma. Este acto arbitrario, primigeniamente, se resuelve con evocar el siguiente derecho: «Toda persona tiene derecho a elegir, a guiarse y a ser sometido bajo una determinada concepción de justicia coherente y consistente»; esto es, que el procesado, quien piensa, habla y actúa bajo una determinada concepción de justicia, sea juzgado de conformidad a un determinado sistema de administración de justicia coherentey consistente; acto que tiene la finalidad última de neutralizar la siguiente proposición: «Lo que es justo para mí, no lo será para mi opositor, y lo que es justo para mi opositor, no lo será para mí». Entonces, la arbitrariedad se elimina con la instauración de 29 fundamentos, los cuales darán lugar a una nueva concepción de justicia, la cual permitirá: a) Crear modelosconsistentes teóricamente para una administración de justicia desde una concepción en particular; b) Demarcar los roles entre los filósofos, epistemólogos y científicos del derecho; c) Declarar una predictibilidad en la emisión de las sentencias, la cual se traduce en seguridad jurídica; d) Determinar cuándo un sistema de administración de justicia, con una concepción de justiciaen particular, es consistente o inconsistente; e) Elaborar una meta-administración de justicia que permita la armonía entre los demás sistemas de justicia particulares, y f) Conocerlos errores y debilidades que tiene un sistema de justicia, en particular, a fin de seguirevolucionando dicho sistema. Para demostrar la consistencia de la teoría, el presente trabajo ha superado con éxito tanto la prueba de la concepción informática de Solomonoff como la teoría de la inconsistencia de Gödel, pues cumple con dos de las tres características de toda teoría(consistencia, completa y axiomatizable). Asimismo, se hizo uso del método aplicado a las ciencias sociales con el objetivo de verificar sus propiedades básicas, para, finalmente, explicar los aportes empíricos que ofrece esta investigación tanto para la realidad local como internacional.

Published: September 2023

Probiotics and their derivatives are becoming increasingly popular in the fight against pathogenic biofilms. This research work explores the use of probiotic bacteria and their potential as antimicrobial agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms and the infections they cause. P. aeruginosa strains were grown on LB (Lysogeny Broth) for 24 hours and characterized using biochemical tests. The biofilm-forming strains were quantified using polystyrene microtiter-plates in a spectrophotometric assay supplemented with M63 minimal media. LAB (Lactobacillus fermentii and Lactococcus lactis) were isolated from fermented maize paste (ogi), Cheese (Waara), Fura and fermented milk (Nunu) on Skim milk agar and were characterized based on colony morphology, cell morphology and biochemical tests.  From the isolates, two strains of LAB were selected as probiotics. They were tested for their inhibitory potential against biofilm-forming P. aeruginosa using liquid co-culture assay. The Lactic acid content and Hydrogen Peroxide was estimated by titration for three days. Lactococcus lactis had more stable lactic acid production than Lactobacillus fermentii (2.70 g/L) although both peaked on Day 2 with Lactococcus lactis producing slightly more lactic acid (2.72 g/L). With liquid co-culture assay, there was a 63% decrease observed in the optical density of biofilms.

Analysis of the Knowledge of Medicine Students from Mafra-SC About Brain Death and Organs Transplantation
Authors: Belli Amanda do Vale , Kalil Graziella
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Organ transplantation (OT) is a historical advance in medicine as result of the evolution of surgical techniques and immunosuppressive drugs. Brain death (BD) which is defined as the total and irreversible cessation of brain functions, closely related to OT, as these patients are potential organ donors. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the knowledge from Universidade do Contestado’s medical students regarding brain death and organ transplantation. Materials and methods: This is a prospective, analytical and descriptive study, carried out with Universidade do Contestado’s medical students, where questionnaires were applied to evaluate their knowledge on the addressed topic. In the research 139 students participated from the first to the ninth phase of the medical course, being 68.6 % feminine and 31.4 % masculine. Of these, 62.6 % have already participated in a class on ME and 44.6 % in a class on OT. 84.2 % of students do not feel able to make the diagnosis of BD, and about 51.8 % assess their knowledge of the research topics as regular, 38.8 % as poor and only 9.4 % assess it as being good. Still about BD, 69.8 % of the participants know its concept, but when asked about BD criteria, exams needed for its diagnosis and about the Brazilian legislation necessary for the donation to occur, the answers were divergent. In the study, 79.9 % of the participants intend to donate their organs. Conclusion:Most students presented knowledge around BD and OT but do not feel capable of making BD diagnosis. The study also showed that most participants would like to be organ donors

Objetivo: Explorar os fatores que dificultam a doação de órgãos no Brasil. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura buscando principais fatores que dificultam a doação de órgãos, utilizando os seguintes descritores: encaminhamento de órgãos, morte encefálica, cuidados intensivos. Resultados: Foram encontrados 54 estudos publicados nos últimos cinco anos: PubMed (n=15), EMBASE (n=32), Lilacs (n=1), Mendeley (n=16) e SciELO (n=0). A recusa de familiares parece ser a principal dificuldade no processo de doação de órgãos no Brasil. A sistematização da captação e distribuição de órgãos, e a eficiência para diagnóstico de morte encefálica mostraram-se como fatores preditivos para maiores taxas de aceitação familiar e eficiência nas etapas do processo. Conclusão: Medidas de sistematização do processo de captação e distribuição de órgãos, e a capacitação da equipe de saúde podem impactar beneficamente no cenário brasileiro de doação de órgãos.
Analgesic efficacy of Transverse Abdomen Plane Block in Kidney Transplantation
Authors: Leão Ana Luiza de Souza , Leão Cristiano Souza , Silva Marina Cruz Moraes da , Moraes Ana Carolina Mattos Uchôa de
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The transversus abdominis plane anesthetic block (TAP Block) technique was first introduced in 2001 by Rafi to promote anterolateral abdominal wall analgesia. This block involves the T7-L1, subcostal, ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves. Kidney transplant recipients are candidates for this blocking method, since the surgical access to the kidney implant allows exposure of the nerve plexus, T7-L1, responsible for the parietal component of pain, allowing its blockade under direct vision. Objectives:To analyze the analgesic efficacy of TAP Block x local infiltration in kidney transplantation in three different moments: upon awakening after 6h and with 24h of rest and 24h of sitting down using the visual analogue pain scale for evaluation. Methods:Prospective, randomized, double-blind study with two groups, the control group: standard balanced general anesthesia and infusion of local anesthetic in the subcutaneous tissue; and the experimental: balanced general anesthesia and local anesthetic infusion (TAP Block) directly through the surgical access. These groups were evaluated postoperatively by a researcher who was unaware of the type of procedure the patient underwent. Candidates to participate in the study were patients from the General Transplant Unit, located at the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP). Results: 45 patients were allocated in the study. After exclusions, 20 patients in the control group and 21 patients in the experimental group were analyzed. No clinical or demographic characteristics were statistically significant. In the control group, 72.6 % reported moderate/severe pain upon awakening, while moderate and severe pain was present in only 7.4 % of the experimental group, with p<0.001. In the 06h assessment, there was a significant difference in relation to moderate/severe pain scores between groups: 59.8 % in the control and 15 % for the experimental group, respectively, with p < 0.007. There was no statistical difference between the groups in the static and dynamic evaluation in the 24h period. Conclusion: Balanced general anesthesia associated with TAP Block proved to be effective in reducing moderate and severe pain scores in the initial moments: upon awakening, and after 6h, being, as expected, less effective in the 24-hour evaluation.

Forest dwellers largely depend on NTFPs for their survival and growth. NTFP marketing is a process starts with an NTFP harvest (procure) that can be sold in an organised/unorganized market. It involves all activities which are comprised in the process of meeting the products and/or services from producer to the end users. Simple value additions increase the selling price at primary collector level, some primary collectors are industrious and adding value to their collected NTFPs before they sell off, but lack of market and market information making them to resort on thirsty middlemen to dispose the NTFPs at a throw away price. The primary collectors share in the total amount paid by end user is high (25.9%) for achar and the lowest (11.11%) for siali leaves. The processor who is making substantial efforts to add value (industry) is getting a lion share of the end user price. The traders are also accounted for significant share of the price spread trader (trader II) accounted for 36.36% of the spread for Mahua flower. The distribution network consists of primary collector, village shopkeeper, trader, wholesale NTFP trader at leading market places, manufacturing industry and their agent and also end users.

= Testing is a process of trying to find out every believable fault or weakness in a project. In today’s world, software products and components play a vital part in our life. Software testing is a world, it contains its own life cycle consists of the following stages – Requirements, Test Plan, Test Design, Test Execution, Defect reportingtracking. The core of software testing lies in writing test cases based on specifications. Software testers play a vital role writing the test cases during test design phase of software testing life cycle. Research have proved that writing test cases is the most time killing and challenging activity among other testing life cycle phases. It is very crucial to sequence and write optimized test cases to increase the rate of fault identification during test design phase as early as possible. There are various proven test design techniques available which focuses on optimizing test cases in different test stages. Our key focus in this paper is to identify the optimized test cases minimizing the actual number of test cases with minimal effort using OATS (Orthogonal Array Test Strategy) techniques covering double mode and triple mode test combinations and Random Forest algorithm.
Perceptions of Preference Signaling in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Survey of Applicants and Program Directors
Authors: Minhas Arjun , Berkay Fehmi , Hudson Tanner , Barry Kenton , Froehle Andrew W. , Krishnamurthy Anil
Published: September 2023

Introduction:

To improve transparency between candidates and training programs, a preference signaling program (PSP) was implemented before the 2022 to 2023 orthopaedic surgery match. The PSP allows applicants to ‘signal’ up to 30 programs, informing the program of the applicant's particular interest in interviewing for their available position(s). This study reports the perspectives of orthopaedic surgery residency applicants and program directors (PDs) on the effects of preference signaling on the orthopaedic match.

Methods:

Electronic surveys were distributed to PDs and applicants.

Results:

Almost all programs participated in the PSP (90%), and most of the applicants (97.6%) used 25 to 30 of their allotted preference signals. Most of the applicants (67.2%) thought that their likelihood of obtaining an interview was improved at ‘signaled’ programs but decreased at programs without a ‘signal’ designation (85.3%). Both applicants and PDs considered preference signaling to be one of the three most important factors for interview selection, along with Step 2 CK score and letters of recommendation. The applicants did not think that their likelihood of matching would improve with fewer allotted signaling tokens (35.2%), and 55.2% of PDs believed 21 to 30 tokens were optimal.

Conclusion:

Preference signaling is highly regarded by applicants and PDs. Signaling a program will likely improve an applicant's chance to interview. The optimal number of signaling tokens remains unknown, although both groups favored a larger allotment of tokens than has been seen in other specialties. Universal guidelines and recommendations for applicants and PDs would improve the utility of preference signaling.
