Authors: Redwan Hetaf , Hawsawi Rayan , Nassar Afnan
Published: June 2024

Background: Finishing and polishing composite restorations is a critical clinical procedure to improve their esthetics and longevity by achieving smooth and glossy surfaces. Moreover, surface roughness in dental restorations is still a significant issue related to the use of direct composite resins, which can be linked to discoloration, secondary caries, and gingival inflammation. Thus, the goal of this study is to assess the level of knowledge and clinical practices of dental students at Umm Al-Qura University regarding the importance of performing finishing and polishing procedures on composite restorations. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was prepared and distributed to the dental students using an online self-administered questionnaire. The data were imported and analyzed using SPSS v. 20, and a Chi-square test was performed; a p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The majority of the students (94.2%) reported that color stability is associated directly with the type of composite and is influenced by polishing and finishing the final restoration (90.5%). The participants believed that it is not mandatory to use polishing paste (76.6%) or surface sealant (73.7%). More than 90% of the students indicated that a polished restoration plays a vital role in its esthetics and longevity and the maintenance of oral health. Conclusion: The students’ knowledge at Umm Al-Qura University was acceptable and reflected in their attitude toward performing the finishing and polishing procedure on composite resin restorations.

Authors: Hariri Nahla , Alqashqri Hamsah
Published: June 2024

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI), is characterized by the involuntary release of urine. It is increasingly prevalent among older people, further increasing their health and economic burden. It affects both men and women, but it is more prevalent in older women. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of UI among older women visiting primary health care centers in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, and to identify the associated risk factors. Results: The study included 390 older women, most of them being 60–69 years old. Most married women had children. Most participants had children, with 72.30% having ≥4 children, and more than half were through natural delivery (61.5%). Furthermore, 34.1% of the participants were overweight, and 62.3% reported experiencing UI, most of whom (74.9%) reported urge-only or urge-predominant leakage—i.e., they experienced leakage when they felt the urge to empty their bladder but could not get to the toilet fast enough. Bivariate analysis revealed the following factors to be associated with UI: marital status, Family history of UI, parity, mode of delivery, and BMI (all p < 0.001). The risk factors for women with UI were: family history of UI (odds ratio (OR) = 9.63, 95% CI: 2.51-36.96; P= 0.001), parity (≥4 children) (OR = 6.06, 95% CI: 3.00-12.30; P < 0.001), parity (1-3 children) (OR = 3.91, 95% CI: 1.70-8.97; P= 0.001), and history of pelvic surgery (OR = 4.77, 95% CI: 1.54-21.2; P= 0.016). Conclusion: UI is prevalent among older women in primary healthcare centers in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

Müteşâbih Âyetleri Yorumlamada Farklı Yaklaşımlar: Zemahşerî ve Fahreddin er-Râzî Örneğinde
Authors: İşeri Ahmet
Published: June 2024

Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’deki müteşâbih ifadelerin bir türü olan ve Yüce Allah’a izafe edilen insanbiçimci/antropomorfik anlatımların, Allah’ın şanına yakışır bir şekilde anlaşılması/yorumlanması meselesi güncelliğini koruyarak günümüze kadar tartışılagelmiştir. Anlamı kapalı veya farklı mânaları barındırabilen müteşâbih ifadeler, müntesipleri tarafından mezhebî yorumların meşruiyet kazanma alanı olarak da değerlendirilebilmiştir. Muhkem, müteşâbih veya te’vil kavramlarının tanımından müteşâbihlerin hikmetlerine, bir âyetin muhkem/müteşâbih kategoride kabul edilmesi için şart koşulan kriterlerden bu tür ifadelere yüklenen anlamlara kadar birçok meselenin mezhepten mezhebe değişiklik göstermesi bu durumun en somut göstergesi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Konunun daha iyi anlaşılması için öncelikle bu önemli meselelerle ilintili müstakil başlıklar üzerinde duruldu. Akabinde ise çalışma kapsamında incelenen âyetlerde geçen Allah’ın eli, yüzü, gözü, ipi, boyası, deve-si, mekr, istivâ, istihzâ gibi müteşabihler; Mu’tezilî tefsir anlayışının önemli siması Zemah-şerî’nin el-Keşşâf ve Ehl-i sünnet tefsirinde mühim bir kaynak olarak kabul görmüş Râzî’nin Mefâtîḥu’l-ġayb isimli eserleri üzerinden mukayese edildi. Bu mukayese ile mezhebî aidiyetleri olan iki müfessirin, Allah’ın sıfatları konusundaki kelâmî ihtilaflarının, ilgili ayetlerin tefsirine ne kadar yansıttıklarının tespit edilmesi hedeflendi. Mu’tezile, Allah’ın zatı dışın-da hiçbir sıfatının olmayacağı görüşünü temellendirdiği usûl-i hamsenin tevhid prensibinden hareketle söz konusu müteşâbih lafızlara yaklaşırken; Eş’ârîler ise keyfiyetini ve mahiyetini bilemeyeceğimiz bir esas ile Allah’ın bu sıfatlarına anlam yüklemişlerdir. Bu mânada arka plan farklı olsa bile iki ekolün de teşbihe karşı tenzihî bir duruş sergilemelerinden dolayı Allah’ın sıfatları türdeki bu müteşâbih ifadelere çok yakın yorumlar getirmişlerdir. Rü’yetullah meselesinde ise, Zemahşerî Allah’ın görülemeyeceğini, Râzî ise görülebileceğini ispatlamak için aynı âyetleri delil olarak kullanmışlardır. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızı, bu minvaldeki diğer çalışmalardan farklı kılan özellik ise; yeri geldikçe yorumların varsa ön kabullerle/arka planla ilişkisini açıklamaya çalışmamızdır. Tefsir eserlerinde kendisine geniş yer bulan bu konular, günümüzde özellikle akademik çevrede ciddi çalışmaların çıkmasına vesile olmuştur. Bütün bunlar hem bu konunun tazeliğini koruduğunu hem de bu alanda son sözün söylenemeyeceğini göstermektedir.

Authors:   TPCT’s College of Engineering , Osmanabad (Dharashiv), India., Naikal1 Ms. Priyanka Lalasaheb
Published: June 2024

The K-Means clustering technique is a widely recognized method for low-level image segmentation challenges, converging iteratively to refine partitioning decisions based on an initial user-specified cluster set that updates with each iteration. Initially, our approach identifies predominantly green-colored pixels in the image, which are then masked based on threshold values computed using Otsu's method. Subsequent masking eliminates any remaining predominantly green pixels. Additionally, pixels with zero values for red, green, and blue channels, as well as those along the boundaries of the infected cluster, are systematically removed. Experimental findings highlight the robustness of this technique in detecting plant leaf diseases, demonstrating its efficacy in real-world scenarios.

Authors:   Department of Mechanical Engineering & JIS College of Engineering, Dasgupta Soumojit
Published: June 2024

Over the years, alloys and metal matix composites (MMC) has developed into an essential material for modern manufacturing processes. Especially, aluminium based MMCs have a widespread importance due to their physical and chemical properties making them applicable for aviation and aerospace industries. Also, lightness and high strength-to-weight ratio are two important factors for their widespread usage. Manufacturing in these industries involve joining processes, wherein welding plays primary role. In welding of aluminium, Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process is highly preferred. Although, aluminium welding confronts a major problem due to formation of alumina (Al2O3), however this is overcome due to usage of pulsed TIG welding. In this process, one half of the pulse breaks the alumina layer to aid in welding. This paper investigates various modern techniques of welding aluminium alloys and metal matrix composites. Also, the findings regarding microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded parts are studied.

Assessment of the Impact of Numerous Medicinal Plants on Trichomonas Vaginalis: A Review
Authors:   University Institute of Pharmacy, Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur, Chhattisgarh 492001-India, Gaikwad Sarita
Published: June 2024

The most common non-viral sexually transmitted illness in the world, trichomoniasis, is caused by the etiological agent Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomoniasis is a prevalent, global health issue that is becoming worse. While infections in males are typically asymptomatic, infections in the female genital tract can result in a variety of symptoms, including vaginitis and cervicitis. This condition has historically been underdiagnosed and under researched due to its generally mild symptoms and the absence of any evidence for any major repercussions. The attempts to identify and treat patients harbouring this parasite have risen, however, in light of mounting evidence that T. vaginalis infection is linked to various disease states with high morbidity in both men and women. Recent research has highlighted the complex interactions between the parasite and host, commensal microbiota, and associated symbionts. The pathophysiology of trichomoniasis is produced by damage to the host epithelia, mediated by a multitude of events during infection. The number of accessible diagnostic alternatives has increased as a result of the commercial introduction of several nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs). Immunoassay based Point of Care testing is currently available, and a recent initial evaluation of a NAAT Point of Care system has given promising results, which would enable testing and treatment in a single visit.

Authors: Nugroho Lucky , Mahroji Mahroji
Published: June 2024

The research aims to analyze the mergers that the Indonesian government of Islamic banks has carried out and to explore the potential for future Islamic bank mergers. The method used in this research is quantitative, supported by secondary data obtained from bank financial statements and also based on previous studies. The findings of this study are that the merger of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) has not optimally improved the profitability, productivity, and efficiency aspects of the bank. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and re-evaluate the internal conditions of the merged bank, which aims to optimize its resources to provide maximum added value. In addition, the merger plan between the Sharia business unit (UUS)-BTN and Bank Muamalat Indonesia needs to be studied in depth and comprehensively and not in a hurry so that the merger action can have a positive impact on both internal Islamic banks and the community and other stakeholders as external parties. The implication of this research is to provide references and information about merger events that occur and the potential for mergers in Islamic banks in Indonesia to stakeholders, both practitioners and academics. Novelty research related to the impact of mergers and potential mergers of Islamic banks in Indonesia is still limited, especially based on the perspectives of profitability, productivity, and efficiency.

Results:  This study was comprised of 120 medical students, of which 65(54.16%) and 55(45.93%) were female and male student respectively. Of total participants 39.2 and 25% of students were felt that structured viva format was more convenient than routine unstructured viva. Of total students 47.5 % of students agreed that the allocated time for answering questions in OSVE was appropriate. Concerning encouragement from teacher to give relevant answer during OSVE, 48.3 % and 45.0% of students were strongly disagreed and disagreed respectively rest were agreed or remain neutral. Only19.2 and 23.3% of students were strongly agreed and agreed presence of bias in unstructured oral viva. Most of students were strongly agreed (37.5 %) or agreed (29.2%) for implementation of OSVE for all academic years for all medical subjects. Significant statistical difference was observed in opinions of male and female with respect to encouragement in OSVE from examiner and biasness during unstructured viva with p values0.002 and 0.027, whereas we did not find any significant difference among gender point of views for all other aspects of OSVE.
Conclusion: Objectively structured viva examinations, as perceived by the participants, was mostly convenient and bias free mode of assessment compared to traditional unstructured oral viva examination.  OSVE should be implemented in all academic years for all subjects.

Interventions to reduce the speed of cyclists in work zones—cyclists' evaluation in a controlled environment
Authors: Kircher Katja , Niska Anna
Published: June 2024

Current guidelines for work zones do not consider the needs of cyclists and pedestrians enough, which leads to unpredictable situations and a resulting higher crash risk for these road user groups. With respect to motor vehicles, speed management with various interventions is an important and well-studied measure. Their design can be hazardous for cyclists, but a systematic investigation of speed reducing interventions that are applicable to cyclists is lacking. In a controlled setting, four different types of interventions were studied regarding their effect on cyclist speed, attention, and comfort at the first encounter with the intervention and when familiar with the setup. Thirty cyclists with a variety of bicycles first rode a baseline condition to establish their desired speed, then they encountered the interventions eight times in a row. During the first encounter their speed dropped but went back to baseline levels during the following trials, regardless of intervention type. The glance behaviour showed that cyclists' attention was focused much more on the interventions themselves than beyond, which can be problematic in unpredictable environments like work zones. Comfort ratings varied widely, with interventions causing vibrations being rated as least comfortable. To conclude, speed-reducing interventions for cyclists must be applied with care and their effect weighted against potential risks of causing crashes and distraction.
Oncolitos continentales en el Campaniense superior de la Cuenca de Montalbán (Allueva Fm, Cordillera Ibérica)
Authors: Torromé Diego , Aurell Marcos
Published: June 2024

Este estudio se centra en el análisis de niveles oncolíticos encontrados en la Formación Allueva, una unidad aluvial de edad Campaniense medio a superior depositada durante las etapas iniciales de desarrollo de la subcuenca compresiva de Montalbán (Cordillera Ibérica). La acumulación de oncoides se encuentra en la parte superior de la formación, y aflora hacia el oeste de la localidad de Fonfría (norte de la provincia de Teruel). Allí, la sucesión de 45 m de espesor consiste en una asociación de calizas oncolíticas, lutitas y margas. Se ha realizado un muestreo de los oncoides para su descripción petrográfica y análisis isotópico. Los oncoides se acumulan en capas lenticulares de hasta 1 m de espesor, y presentan formas esféricas a elípticas con tamaños que oscilan entre 1 y 15 cm, dominando los oncoides de menor tamaño. La laminación es concéntrica con casi ninguna irregularidad (oncoides SS-C), lo que indica condiciones de movimiento constante. Un estudio isotópico preliminar llevado a cabo en láminas sucesivas de oncoides es coherente con un ambiente de agua dulce bajo condiciones climáticas subhúmedas.
High-resolution topography of Gusev crater using CTX data (Mars).
Authors: Anangonó-Tutasig Ronny Steveen , De Cos Juez Francisco Javier , Fernández Menéndez Susana
Published: June 2024

High-resolution Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) of Mars are both limited and crucial for studying surface processes. The available DTMs generated from Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) and High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) data offer limited resolution for working on a metre scale. The MER-A mission’s exploration of the Gusev crater was based on the data provided by MOLA and HRSC. However, with the introduction of the stereoscopic images obtained by the Context Camera (CTX) on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), it has been possible to generate topographic data with greater detail, significantly improving the MOLA and HRSC data. This has resulted in the generation of new DTMs with a resolution of ~5 m/pixel. Comparative analysis of these CTX DTMs with the MOLA and HRSC data provides an updated perspective of the Gusev topography and its geological features. The prominent advantage of using CTX stereo images lies in their wide coverage, as they have mapped 99.9% of the Martian surface. This wide coverage allows the creation of high-resolution models that will prove invaluable for future studies and missions.
Foliación y fábricas magnéticas asociadas a interferencia de pliegues en la Zona Axial Pirenaica (La Seu d’Urgell, Lleida)
Authors: Simón Muzás Ana , Casas Sainz Antonio , Soto Ruth , Clariana Pilar , Margalef Aina
Published: June 2024

La zona de estudio, en las inmediaciones de La Seu d’Urgell (Zona Axial pirenaica), está constituida por una serie estratigráfica de rocas Cambro-Ordovícicas, en su mayoría detríticas, donde la discordancia Sarda se identifica claramente entre la Serie de Jujols y la Fm. Conglomerados de la Rabassa. Las principales estructuras son pliegues N-S de plano axial subhorizontal que muestran una foliación asociada, bien desarrollada en los niveles pelíticos (y claramente visibles en lámina delgada) y pobremente desarrollada en los niveles de arenisca. En los conglomerados suprayacentes a la discordancia Sarda (Fm. Conglomerados de la Rabassa) la foliación regional se caracteriza por tener sobreimpuestas bandas de cizalla conjugadas que rodean los clastos. Las fábricas magnéticas (principalmente paramagnéticas) son coherentes con las microestructuras observadas a pesar de que la correspondencia entre los ejes de las fábricas magnéticas y los ejes de las estructuras observadas en el campo no es sencilla. El máximo de las direcciones de lineación es bimodal (N-S y E-W), lo cual puede ser interpretado como el resultado de una interferencia de pliegues (tipo 2 de Ramsay).
Extreme flood events in the western Mediterranean: integrating numerical MODelling and flood records in KARST systems (MODKARST project)
Authors: Bartolomé Miguel , Luetscher Marc , Stoll Heather , Moreno Ana , Benito Gerardo
Published: June 2024

Changes in rainfall patterns are a direct consequence of the current climate change. Climate projections indicate an intensification of extreme rainfall events, which will directly affect social, ecological, and economic systems. One of the greatest challenges of climate science is to understand, model, and predict the variability of floods. The uncertainties in projected rainfall are still high, and even higher in Mediterranean areas where the climate is characterized by extreme and sudden rainfall events. The instrumental record is too short to correctly estimate flood return periods. Thus, geological records are required to better understand the long term variability, at millennial to decadal scales, of natural extreme flood events. MODKARST is a MSCA-GF project awarded by the European Union, to develop a quantitative flood database for the Western Mediterranean realm based on speleothems. The action plans to infer past flood events from the last 18 ka based on detrital layers recorded in stalagmites from 5 different caves in the north of Spain, in combination with karst hydraulic models and water-level monitoring. MODKARST will help to better disentangle the relation between flood recurrence and climate changes, and will shed light on how to better predict the variability of floods in the context of present-day global warming.
Role of Newspaper Discourse in Legitimizing Discrimination against Veiled Female Students in Turkey
Authors: Turanović Mirsad
Published: June 2024

The paper analyses the Kemalist dailies’ presentation of veiled female students who protested the discrimination they faced when the hijab was banned at Turkish universities. Although such discrimination has since been quashed, the ideology that produced and legitimised it is still alive. The media, an important means of reproducing the Kemalist hegemony, relativised or legitimised discrimination against these students by discursively constructing them as a destructive force that threatened the secular order. This construct is based on the Kemalist conception of modernisation, equated with secularisation, where “the limit of the expression of religion in Turkey is the skin of a citizen”. The analysed examples reinforce the construct by integrating multimodal elements, including the text itself, typographical elements, page layouts, and accompanying images and caricatures. The paper confirms the importance of analysing linguistic and other semiotic elements of discourse in the research of complex social phenomena like discrimination, hegemony, and ideology.
