Comparison of the effects of three surgical techniques on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement in a rat model
Authors: Librizzi Zachary , Kalajzic Zana , Camacho Daniel , Yadav Sumit , Nanda Ravindra , Uribe Flavio
Published: June 2017

Objective:

To evaluate the effect of corticotomy and corticision, with and without a full mucoperiosteal flap, on the rate of tooth movement and alveolar response in a rat model.

Materials and Methods:

Sixty male, 6-week-old Wistar rats were divided into five groups based on surgical procedure, as follows: control (no tooth movement), orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) only, corticotomy, corticision, and corticision with full mucoperiosteal flap (corticision + flap). A force of 10–15g was applied from the maxillary left first molar to the maxillary incisors using nickel-titanium springs. Surgery was performed at the time of appliance placement (day 0), and tooth movement occurred for 21 days. Micro–computed tomography was performed on day 21 to evaluate the amount of tooth movement and alveolar bone parameters. Histomorphometry, including tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining, was performed to quantify the osteoclast parameters at day 21.

Results:

No statistical differences in the amount of OTM, bone volume fraction, and tissue density and the osteoclast parameters were found among all experimental groups.

Conclusions:

Corticotomy and corticision, with or without a full mucoperiosteal flap, did not show a significant effect on either the OTM magnitude or alveolar bone response.
Analysis of track formation during laser metal deposition
Authors: Pirch N. , Linnenbrink S. , Gasser A. , Wissenbach K. , Poprawe R.
Published: June 2017

A fundamental understanding of the physical phenomena associated with the coaxial laser metal deposition (LMD) process is essential to enhance the science base and thereby improve the process itself. The interaction between the laser beam and the powder particles leads to an attenuation of the beam intensity and to a temperature rise of the powder particles before reaching the melt pool. To understand this mutual influence and their influence on the process result better, the powder gas stream was analyzed with an image-based particle density measurement system. This system illuminates the powder gas stream from the side with a line laser light source and monitors the particles plane by plane with a coaxially aligned camera through the powder nozzle. A high image rate allows to record the number and position of individual powder particles. The particle density distributions in the planes are determined by averaging over the images. With this, a statistical model can be derived with regard to the particles trajectories. Finally, with these results it is possible to analyze the shadowing of the laser beam by the powder particles and the change of the particle temperature in detail. The transmitted laser intensity distribution and mean particle temperature are used as boundary conditions for the governing equations of the mathematical model for the real LMD process. LMD represents mathematically a free boundary value problem. This means that the track geometry is part of the solution. The mathematical model is based on an integration of the time dependent heat equation and the computation of the track geometry with the nonlinear Young-Laplace equation, whereby a mass balance with regard to the particles which reach the melt pool surface is taken into account. The governing equations are solved with the Finite Element Method and the moving mesh approach is used in order to implement a track adapted meshing. The results concerning the track geometry show excellent agreement with the experimental ones which are determined by cross sections of laser material deposited tracks and images from high speed videography. The model does not use any geometrical approximation of the melt pool surface but determines the melt pool surface shape by the balance equation for capillary forces and mass balance.

Hermeneutical Reading of Ṭalāq
Authors: Rusli Rusli
Published: June 2017

This paper deals with the hermeneutical reading of divorce (Ṭalāq), one of the sensitive issues in Islamic family law. It is concluded that the existence of Islamic law of divorce is not to denigrate women; however, it is to give respons to the injustice suffered by women by giving regulations that are more friendly to women. The regulations of the Quran on the subject of divorce are designed to restrict the practice which had prevailed among the Arabs that they are free to divorce his wife at any time without any reason, and remarry her in unlimited ways. This is indicated that Islam stipulates that divorce is two times: then one may retain with goodness (and reasonable terms), or let go with goodness and reasonable terms. If divorce occurs, a divorced woman should the prescribed period (‘iddah) and financial consideration (mut‘at al-Ṭalāq).

La palabra “ciencia” se asimila a saber o conocimiento y se puede definir como todo lo que nos permite predecir las cosas, con base en los resultados que se obtienen derivados de la investigación. La ciencia se diferencia de la pseudociencia porque no permite predecir, aunque millones de seres humanos adoptan este tipo de falso conocimiento, como es el caso de la astrología, la quiromancia, la brujería, las curaciones milagrosas y la charlatanería, entre otras.

La fatídica década de 1780 en una parroquia de Michoacán: epidemias y consecuencias demográficas en Taximaroa, 1780-1790
Authors: González Flores José Gustavo
Published: June 2017

En la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, las constantes epidemias y traslados de población detuvieron y, a veces, hasta provocaron un decrecimiento en el número de habitantes. Viendo el caso de Taximaroa, una parroquia del oriente del obispado de Michoacán, se concluye que la década de 1780 representó una contracción de la población, en general, donde sus secuelas fueron el declive de la población indígena y la aceleración de la mestización de la parroquia.

El oficio de la arqueología
Authors: Shanks Michael , McGuire Randall H.
Published: June 2017

La idea de la arqueología como arte desafía la separación entre razonamiento y ejecución, teoría y práctica, que hoy caracteriza a la disciplina. El Movimiento de Artes y Oficios de fines del siglo XIX estableció a la artesanía como una manifestación estética de oposición. Asentamos a la artesanía dentro de una crítica marxista del trabajo alienado y proponemos una práctica unificada de mano, corazón y mente. Los debates engendrados por la arqueología postprocesual han definido firmemente a la arqueología del presente como una práctica cultural y política. Sin embargo, muchos arqueólogos aún no saben cómo implementar estas ideas. Argüimos que una solución a este dilema consiste en pensar en la arqueología como artesanía. Esta resolución no provee un método o un libro de recetas para la práctica de la arqueología, puesto que el núcleo de nuestro argumento es que la intención de regularizar la arqueología constituye precisamente la causa de alienación de la disciplina. Por el contrario, deseamos considerar a la arqueología como un modo de producción cultural, una práctica unificada que involucra al pasado, al arqueólogo, al público, al cliente y a la sociedad contemporánea.
Expansión ganadera en la Sierra de Santa Marta, Veracruz: el caso de una comunidad zoque-popoluca
Authors: Flores López José Manuel
Published: June 2017

El artículo describe el proceso de ganaderización, iniciado a comienzos de la década de 1980, de una pequeña comunidad zoque-popoluca del sur del estado de Veracruz. Los principales mecanismos mediante los cuales se adoptó la actividad ganadera fueron los tratos productivos conocidos como ganado “a medias” y “renta de pastos”. Este proceso de ganaderización tuvo impactos profundos en la transformación de las actividades económicas locales y del paisaje, un proceso regional en el cual tuvieron importancia los grandes procesos nacionales como el impulso a la actividad ganadera como forma de expansión hacia las zonas tropicales del país, así como las políticas de colonización y de reparto agrario.

Published: June 2017

In palm oil supply chain (POSC) the smallholder farmers sell their fresh fruit bunch (FFB) to Palm Oil Mills through traders. Palm Oil Mills convert the FFB into crude palm oil (CPO). CPO is sold to the refinery, who converts CPO into frying oil and sends the product to the distributors. The distributors subsequently sell them to the consumers. Each member of the POSC will try to optimize its added value. The aim of this paper is to develop an added value formulation as a function of risk, investment and technology levels of each of the POSC member. To facilitate fair distribution of rewards a concept of added value utility based on rsk, investment and technology level was introduced. To optimize the added value distribution between the members the concept of stakeholder dialogue was used. The selling prices were negotiated between the actors until each reached a satisfactory value, which was ruled by the levels of optimum added value utility. This research is important because the developed model can facilitate a better formula to calculate the fair distribution of added values, therefore ensure its sustainability and improve the total supply chain added value.Keywords:Utility, Value Added, Palm Oil Supply Chain, Exponential FunctionAbstrakPada suatu rantai pasok agroindustri minyak sawit (RPMS), petani menjual tandan buah segar (TBS) ke pabrik CPO melalui pedagang/pemasok. Pabrik CPO merubah TBS menjadi CPO. CPO dijual ke refinery (pabrik minyak goreng), yang merubah CPO menjadi minyak goreng, dan menjualnya melalui distributor kepada para konsumen. Setiap anggota RPMS akan berusaha untuk mengoptimumkan nilai tambahnya masing-masing. Tujuan penulisan makalah ini adalah menyusun formula perhitungan nilai tambah RPMS yang dipengaruhi oleh tingkat risiko, tingkat investasi dan tingkat teknologi yang terkait dengan masingmasing pelaku rantai pasok. Untuk mengusahakan distribusi yang adil dari imbalan maka digunakan pendekatan stakeholder dialogue. Harga jual dinegosiasikan diantara para pelaku RPMS sampai didapat suatu nilai yang memuaskan semua pihak, yang ditentukan berdasarkan utilitas nilai tambah yang optimum. Penelitian ini penting karena model yang dikembangkan dapat memfasilitasi formula yang lebih baik untuk menghitung distribusi nillia tambah yang adil, sehingga akan dicapai keberlangsungan usaha dan meningkatnya nilai tambah total dari RPMS.Kata kunci: Utilitas, Nilai Tambah, Rantai Pasok Minyak Sawit, Fungsi Eksponensial.

Lastly, factors responsible for increasing risk of building vulnerability was identified based on existing studies. The building information of 4287 both residential and non residential buildings and 7849 separate floor were collected. Among them, 82.79 percent floors were used for residential purpose, 7.86 percent for commercial purpose and 9.35 percent for other purposes. Most of these buildings were constructed with stone in mud mix. Around 51.4 percent buildings were built 20 to 50 years ago. The building vulnerability in different earthquake scenario is assumed at different intensities. The assessment of vulnerability of building, building damage matrix, GIS and seismic intensity map were used. To estimate the buildings damage three earthquake scenario i.e. Udayapur, North-Sunsari and South-Sunsari earthquake scenarios were used. It is estimated that if Udayapur earthquake strike the municipality 14.21% of the total buildings will totally collapse the rest 83.33% will be partially damaged. The ward number 7, 6, 1, and 5 have buildings with high vulnerability due to old buildings, building attached and some parameters of construction materials. This study recommends that awareness programme about how to make buildings safe from earthquake be lunched by the responsible agencies such as municipality.The Geographical Journal of Nepal, Vol. 8-9, 2010-2011: 1-12
Intensifying Relational Care: The Challenge of Dying in Long-Term Residential Care
Authors: Banerjee Albert , Rewegan Alex
Published: June 2017

Although the culture change movement has sought to transform residential care facilities from warehouses of death into homes for living, there is growing recognition of the need to address dying within these settings. Drawing on data from an international and interdisciplinary study, this paper explores the state of end-of-life care in residential care facilities, identifying barriers to the provision of compassionate care for the dying, as well as promising practices and areas for future inquiry. Interviews with staff and researcher observations at 20 nursing homes in Canada, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the United States, and the United Kingdom were analyzed. Six themes were identified: the growing need for end-of-life care; the challenge of identifying a dying phase; the importance of open communication about death; the need to address bereavement of both families and staff; the need for additional training and resources; and the inadequacy of current models of care. Taken together, these findings suggest that dying intensifies the need for relational care, a type of care residential care facilities have been struggling to provide. However, while demands increase, there are also opportunities. We conclude with a reflection on the potential that the blurred boundaries between living and dying hold for experimentation in long-term residential care with visions of life and health that can include death.
A Humanist in the House of Old: Moyra Jones and Early Dementia Care in Canada
Authors: Davies Megan J.
Published: June 2017

The history of gerontology and the experience of aging in Canada is still largely unwritten. This article employs the personal and career biography of British Columbian rehabilitation and dementia care specialist Moyra Jones, an active member in this field of care from the 1960s until the new millennium. I explore how gender, professionalism, treatment options, and emerging ideas about the personhood of individuals with dementia shaped gerontological ideas and practices in the late twentieth century.

Published: June 2017

The goal of the study was to evaluate alternative student-centered approaches that could replace autopsy sessions and live demonstration and to explore refinements in assessment procedures for standardized cardiac dissection. Simulators and videos were identified as feasible, economical, student-centered teaching methods for technical skills training in medical contexts, and a direct comparison was undertaken. A low-fidelity anatomically correct simulator approximately the size of a horse's heart with embedded dissection pathways was constructed and used with a series of laminated photographs of standardized cardiac dissection. A video of a standardized cardiac dissection of a normal horse's heart was recorded and presented with audio commentary. Students were allowed to nominate a preference for learning method, and students who indicated no preference were randomly allocated to keep group numbers even. Objective performance data from an objective structure assessment criterion and student perception data on confidence and competency from surveys showed both innovations were similarly effective. Evaluator reflections as well as usage logs to track patterns of student use were both recorded. A strong selection preference was identified for kinesthetic learners choosing the simulator and visual learners choosing the video. Students in the video cohort were better at articulating the reasons for dissection procedures and sequence due to the audio commentary, and student satisfaction was higher with the video. The major conclusion of this study was that both methods are effective tools for technical skills training, but consideration should be given to the preferred learning style of adult learners to maximize educational outcomes.

Published: June 2017

Living anatomy is gaining increasing popularity as an alternative to the use of preserved cadaver specimens in musculoskeletal anatomy teaching. This article describes the development of a garment painted with musculoskeletal structures as an alternative to body painting. Garments offer some advantages over traditional body painting in anatomy teaching. The technique can be used across different disciplines, enhances students' ability to identify anatomic structures in living bodies, and provides insights into the topography of one or more body systems at the same time. The fact that garments are amenable to palpation by large groups of students with no damage to the painting favors repeated use in hands-on wet labs. Garments such as the one described in this article introduce a novel approach to interdisciplinary teaching and learning, which can be combined with traditional anatomy teaching methods. The first garment produced depicts part of the equine musculoskeletal system. Steps in garment construction are highlighted and indications, advantages, and limitations of the method discussed.

This study was undertaken to determine the influence of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) on admission on clinical outcome of patients with unilateral chronic subdural hematoma after surgery. A cross- sectional study was conducted on 33 consecutive patients, among them 28 were male, 5 were female with GCS 6 to 15. 19 patients out of 22 who had GCS 14-15 had favorable GOS at 24 hours as compared to 2 out of 7 in GCS 9-13 group and none in GCS ?8 group. All patients (22 out of 22) had favorable GOS at the time of discharge in GCS 14-15 group while 8 out of 9 had favorable GOS in GCS 9-14 group and 1 out of 2 patients had favorable GOS in GCS ?8 group. Chi square test showed significant difference in outcome between 14-15, 9-13 and ?8 GCS groups (p values 0.001, 0.015, 0.013 respectively). In conclusion, clinical outcome of patients with unilateral chronic subdural hematoma depends on Glasgow coma scale on admission.
Who can Profit from Dance? An Exploration of Copyright Ownership
Authors: Pavis Mathilde , Waelde Charlotte , Whatley Sarah
Published: June 2017

Focusing on UK copyright law, this article explores ownership of the dance by reference to the work of disabled dance artists. Our attention is on this group because their position within the dance workforce has always been precarious and so perhaps have most to gain through greater recognition of authorship in their work. Through an examination of the law as it applies to two different projects featuring Caroline Bowditch, we suggest that, contrary to the views of some, the performers are either authors of the copyright in the arrangement of the dance on their bodies, or joint authors in the work of dance. This is important because the author is the first owner of copyright in a dance; income from exploitation generally flows to the owner. With the rise of social media there may be yet further opportunities for exploiting dance. Starting from a doctrinal legal perspective, and bringing together dance and law to explore the vexed questions of cultural value, audience literacy and commercial exploitation, we hope to bring attention to the labour of disabled dance artists and the different ways in which all dancers can assert the rights to their work. In taking this approach this contribution differs from recent scholarship on dance and law, most notably works by Anthea Kraut, Choreographing Copyright: Race, Gender, and Intellectual Property Rights in American Dance (Oxford University Press, 2015) and Caroline Picart, Critical Race Theory and Copyright in American Dance: Whiteness as Status Property (Springer 2013). These analyses examine dance and American copyright law through race and gender lenses. Reading across the contributions would suggest that the time is ripe for a truly interdisciplinary project in which experts from law, dance and, disability studies come together to deepen and extend our knowledge and understanding of this area.
Severity Prediction of Traffic Accidents with Recurrent Neural Networks
Authors: Sameen Maher , Pradhan Biswajeet
Published: June 2017

In this paper, a deep learning model using a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) was developed and employed to predict the injury severity of traffic accidents based on 1130 accident records that have occurred on the North-South Expressway (NSE), Malaysia over a six-year period from 2009 to 2015. Compared to traditional Neural Networks (NNs), the RNN method is more effective for sequential data, and is expected to capture temporal correlations among the traffic accident records. Several network architectures and configurations were tested through a systematic grid search to determine an optimal network for predicting the injury severity of traffic accidents. The selected network architecture comprised of a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) layer, two fully-connected (dense) layers and a Softmax layer. Next, to avoid over-fitting, the dropout technique with a probability of 0.3 was applied. Further, the network was trained with a Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) algorithm (learning rate = 0.01) in the Tensorflow framework. A sensitivity analysis of the RNN model was further conducted to determine these factors’ impact on injury severity outcomes. Also, the proposed RNN model was compared with Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Bayesian Logistic Regression (BLR) models to understand its advantages and limitations. The results of the comparative analyses showed that the RNN model outperformed the MLP and BLR models. The validation accuracy of the RNN model was 71.77%, whereas the MLP and BLR models achieved 65.48% and 58.30% respectively. The findings of this study indicate that the RNN model, in deep learning frameworks, can be a promising tool for predicting the injury severity of traffic accidents.
Systematic Design Method and Experimental Validation of a 2-DOF Compliant Parallel Mechanism with Excellent Input and Output Decoupling Performances

Published: June 2017

The output and input coupling characteristics of the compliant parallel mechanism (CPM) bring difficulty in the motion control and challenge its high performance and operational safety. This paper presents a systematic design method for a 2-degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) CPM with excellent decoupling performance. A symmetric kinematic structure can guarantee a CPM with a complete output decoupling characteristic; input coupling is reduced by resorting to a flexure-based decoupler. This work discusses the stiffness design requirement of the decoupler and proposes a compound flexure hinge as its basic structure. Analytical methods have been derived to assess the mechanical performances of the CPM in terms of input and output stiffness, motion stroke, input coupling degree, and natural frequency. The CPM’s geometric parameters were optimized to minimize the input coupling while ensuring key performance indicators at the same time. The optimized CPM’s performances were then evaluated by using a finite element analysis. Finally, a prototype was constructed and experimental validations were carried out to test the performance of the CPM and verify the effectiveness of the design method. The design procedure proposed in this paper is systematic and can be extended to design the CPMs with other types of motion.
