Ferrule: A Review
Authors: B Eswaran. , Abraham Ponsekar , M Menmozhi. , G Sivasakthi.
Published: November 2024

The ferrule effect plays a pivotal role in enhancing the structural integrity and long-term success of restorations for endodontically treated teeth. By encircling the coronal tooth structure, the ferrule distributes functional forces evenly, improving fracture resistance and longevity. Ideally, a ferrule height of 1.5 to 2 mm is recommended, and its design can significantly impact the tooth’s ability to withstand lateral forces. Studies emphasize the importance of achieving a smooth finish line to minimize micro-leakage and restoration failure. While the benefits of the ferrule are well- established, other factors, such as the tooth's location and the restoration type, may also influence outcomes. This article reviews the different types of ferrules, ideal design considerations, and the impact on clinical success.

Compression of Hyperspectral Image using JPEG Compression Algorithm
Authors: G Bharadwaj Sujendra , B Shruthi
Published: November 2024

This paper delves into the considerable challenges of working with hyperspectral images, which are notably large and multidimensional, with file sizes often surpassing hundreds of megabytes. Hyperspectral imaging captures light across a continuous range of wavelengths, providing detailed spectral information for each pixel. This rich dataset is invaluable for applications such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, mineral exploration, and medical diagnostics, where accurate spectral data aids in identifying materials and detecting subtle variations. However, the immense data volume not only strains storage and transmission resources but also requires efficient processing and analysistechniques to handle the high-dimensional data without compromising quality. Additionally, compression methods are essential to manage storage constraints and improve real-time usability, but they must balance data reduction with the preservation of spectral integrity for effective analysis and application.

Merajut Kerukunan di Era Digital: Peran Gembala dalam Mengelola Pluralisme Agama di Society 4.0
Authors: Terok Djonny. N. , Suseno Aji
Published: November 2024

In the era of Society 4.0, advances in digital technology bring changes in human culture including the way humans interact, in the context of religious life. The growing religious pluralism demands a more adaptive role of pastors in knitting inter and interfaith harmony. Although digital advances facilitate interfaith dialogue, challenges remain in maintaining the values of spirituality and harmony in the midst of increasingly complex diversity. This research aims to build the role of pastors in managing religious pluralism in the digital era, and can build and strengthen interfaith harmony. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach, it can be concluded that the role of pastors in facing the challenges of religious pluralism in the era of Society 4.0 is an important need in socialising. And pastors have an important role in guiding people to maintain harmony in religious diversity. Even the existence of digital technology can be used as a means to strengthen interfaith dialogue, but requires caution in approach and communication. So the role of pastors in the digital era is needed to create a deep understanding and reduce the potential for conflict between religious communities. Di era Society 4.0, kemajuan teknologi digital membawa perubahan dalam budaya manusia termasuk cara manusia berinteraksi, dalam konteks kehidupan beragama. Pluralisme agama yang semakin berkembang menuntut peran gembala yang lebih adaptif dalam merajut kerukunan inter dan antar umat beragama. Meskipun kemajuan digital memfasilitasi dialog lintas agama, tantangan tetap ada dalam menjaga nilai-nilai spiritualitas dan kerukunan di tengah keberagaman yang semakin kompleks. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun peran gembala dalam mengelola pluralisme agama di era digital, serta dapat membangun dan memperkuat kerukunan antar umat beragama. Menggunakan metode yang kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa peran gembala dalam menghadapi tantangan pluralisme agama di era Society 4.0 manjadi kebutuhan penting dalam bersosial. Dan gembala memiliki peran penting dalam membimbing umat untuk menjaga kerukunan dalam keberagaman agama. Bahkan adanya teknologi digital dapat digunakan sebagai sarana untuk memperkuat dialog antar agama, namun memerlukan kehati-hatian dalam pendekatan dan komunikasi.  Sehingga peran gembala dalam era digital sangat dibutuhkan untuk menciptakan pemahaman yang mendalam dan mengurangi potensi konflik antar umat beragama.
Multidimensional house price prediction with SOTA RNNs
Authors: Kütük Yasin
Published: November 2024

This paper introduces insights into the Turkish real estate market, which can be generalized globally. It primarily aims to find the best forecasting algorithms for the housing price index and compare their prediction performance over three, six, nine, and twelve months ahead by using recurrent neural networks (RNN) with a comparison of out-of-sample predicting power of econometrical models. For these purposes, we employ three RNN architectures in twenty-four settings, revealing that certain RNN architectures are the best predictors in forecasting the Turkish real housing price index. The RNN architectures outperform traditional econometric models; however, the more months forecasted, the lower the prediction power. The lagged values of the price-to-rent ratio, real rents, and the lagged USDTRY values contribute more than the other predictors in forecasting the real housing price index. The outcomes suggest that stocks, real estate investment trusts, and gold are neither complementary nor competing financial instruments since housing is an illiquid asset.
Assessing the Current Healthcare System Capacity in Kosovo to Address Potential Risks of Climate Change Extremes
Authors: Mehmeti Cakuli Lendita , Dimovska Mirjana , Gjorgjev Dragan
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Climate change (CC) threats to public health in Kosovo include changes in rainfall and extreme weather conditions (heat waves, rising average temperatures, floods, and droughts). Such changes can affect the physical, mental health, and well-being of the population, also potentially adversely affecting the functioning and physical infrastructure of the healthcare system.
AIM: The aim of the study was to conduct a CC vulnerability assessment in selected healthcare facilities and workforce in Kosovo.
METHODS: The World Health Organization standard checklist was used to assess weaknesses and level of preparedness in six healthcare facilities in the context of CC for three extreme situations of exposure (heat waves, floods, and droughts).
RESULTS: During heat waves and floods the weak points identified are: The infrastructure, technology process, healthcare workforce preparedness, and process of waste treatment. In some regions (Mitrovica and Peja), the risk is even higher in the absence of sufficient health staff. The hospital in Gjilan shows the highest level of unpreparedness to cope some CC extremes. The western part of the country has a higher risk of frequent floods. The lack of an emergency plan to protect health workers from numerous biological and chemical risks increases the risk of negative effects of floods.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study confirm various types of vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the healthcare facilities in Kosovo for all areas of assessment (health workforce preparedness, level of adaptation of the current system, infrastructure, technologies, and sustainability). The health outcomes of CC jeopardize the provision of good quality healthcare services. A short list of priorities is recommended to minimize the various types of vulnerabilities.

A Survey on Human in the Loop for Self-Adaptive Systems
Authors: Junio da Silva Tavares Geová , Souto Rosa Nelson
Published: November 2024

Adaptive systems possess the remarkable capability to assess and modify their behavior in real-time, particularly when the software deviates from its programmed course or when opportunities for enhanced functionality or performance arise. This adaptability proves invaluable in highly dynamic environments, where rapid changes occur, and human oversight alone falls short in effectively managing applications. However, in certain system types, achieving optimal performance through adaptation may necessitate human input, be it as a sensor providing unique information beyond the system’s reach, an actuator driving adaptation, or a fallback mechanism in contingency scenarios. In this context, the concept of ’human-in-the-loop’ harnesses the innate capabilities of humans to execute tasks and make decisions with greater efficiency and precision, thereby ensuring the security and reliability of these systems. Our primary objective in this study is to present a comprehensive analysis of the key research and contributions in this field. Additionally, we aim to pinpoint potential research avenues and unresolved challenges within the realm of Human-in-the-loop.
Performance Enhancement of EEG Signatures for Person Authentication Using CNN BiLSTM Method
Authors: Mishra Ashish Ranjan , Kumar Rakesh , Saini Rajkumar
Published: November 2024

 Despite their vulnerability to competent forgers, signatures are one of the most widely used user verification methods. Recent research has revealed that EEG signals are harder to reproduce and give superior biometric information. This study aims to improve the effectiveness of person authentication by using deep learning techniques on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The broad implementation of EEG-based authentication systems has been hindered by problems such as noise, variability, and inter-subject variances despite the potential distinctiveness of EEG signals. We propose a multiscale convolutional neural network (CNN) and a Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) model called CNN-BiLSTM to extract features and classify raw EEG data. This methodology involves acquiring raw EEG data, preprocessing for noise reduction, standardization, normalization, and employing deep learning techniques for feature extraction and classification. Experimental results exhibit a notable improvement in accuracy and reliability compared to existing EEG authentication methods such as LOF, CNN, FCN, EfficientNet-B0, and BiLSTM. The results showcase the performance of the proposed deep learning model utilizing established metrics such as precision, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The proposed methodology outperforms existing methods and achieves a training and validation accuracy of 98.9% and 92.2%, respectively. The findings of the research demonstrate that the proposed approach has been successful in achieving highly effective results by using EEG signals for the purpose of resolving issues related to person identification.

Response mechanism of heat-sensitive neurons under combined noise stimulation
Authors: Wang Yunhai , Huang Guodong , Zhu Rui , Zhou Shu , Chai Yuan
Published: November 2024

Patients with congenital analgesia who lack the ability to sense temperature generally face low survival rates, highlighting a critical need to understand the underlying mechanisms of heat sensation. While previous research has focused on modeling neural responses to stimuli, the specific mechanisms by which heat-sensitive neurons respond to external temperature changes remain unclear. This gap in knowledge is particularly relevant, as identifying how these neurons react to diverse stimuli can provide insight into sensory deficits linked to congenital analgesia. In this study, we developed a model of heat-sensitive neurons based on the FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neural circuit to investigate neuronal response patterns to external heat stimuli. Two distinct stimulus patterns, each combined with Gaussian white noise, were applied to the model to induce varied firing modes. By calculating the Hamilton energy for each firing mode, we quantified the impact of each external stimulus on neuronal activity. A correlation function was further defined to explore how different stimuli influence the selection of firing modes. Simulation results demonstrate that heat-sensitive neurons show a preferential response to stimuli that induce spike discharge over stimuli that induce r-clonic patterns, as seen in changes to the periodic attractor contours. When exposed to Chua's circuit stimulus, chaotic emission patterns reveal significant shifts in attractor contour, indicating a strong response to spike, r-clonic, and periodic stimuli. These findings suggest that external stimuli capable of inducing spike-and-wave or r-clonic patterns are sensitively detected by thermosensitive neurons, leading to heightened Hamilton energy release and increased regularity in neural activity. This study enhances our understanding of thermosensitive neuronal dynamics under complex stimuli, shedding light on potential response mechanisms relevant to sensory dysfunction in congenital analgesia and advancing the broader field of neural response modeling.

Published: November 2024

This research paper addressed a significant knowledge gap in the field of complex analysis by introducing a pioneering category of $ q $-starlike and $ q $-convex functions intricately interconnected with $ (u, v) $-symmetrical functions. Recognizing the limited exploration of these relationships in existing literature, the authors delved into the new classes $ \mathcal{S}_q(\alpha, u, v) $ and $ \mathcal{T}_q(\alpha, u, v) $. The main contribution of this work was the establishment of a framework that amalgamates $ q $-starlikeness and $ q $-convexity with the symmetry conditions imposed by $ (u, v) $-symmetrical functions. This comprehensive study include coefficient estimates, convolution conditions, and the properties underpinning the $ (\rho, q) $-neighborhood, thereby enriching the understanding of these novel function classes.

Il diritto nella Chiesa. Un dibattito due-trecentesco
Authors: Padovani Andrea
Published: November 2024

Dalla seconda metà del sec. xii la Chiesa cattolica, ormai proiettata verso il controllo dell’Europa, si costituisce progressivamente come un organismo compatto, retto da un insieme di norme giuridiche, quale mai aveva avuto nei secoli precedenti. La costruzione di questo edificio complesso ed articolato è resa necessaria anche dalla competizione con l’Impero, che si ammanta del mito di Roma e delle sue leggi. Proprio l’assorbimento, nel Corpus Iuris Canonici, di istituti, concetti e termini tratti dal diritto romano alimenta le prime fasi di una discussione che si allarga a criticare, da parte degli ordini monastico-contemplativi, la giuridicizzazione della Chiesa, consegnata agli appetiti di ecclesiastici senza scrupoli. Se, nei primi decenni del sec. xiv, la polemica avviata dalle ali rigoriste dell’ordine francescano circa la povertà di Cristo e degli apostoli chiede un superamento delle categorie concettuali imposte dal diritto civile in favore dello ius poli, per altri – i giuristi Giovanni da Legnano e Antonio da Budrio – si tratta di riportare la funzione del diritto comune nella prospettiva della salvezza eterna e dell’ordinata vita civile.
L’identification de systèmes ou de théories dans les œuvres du ius commune
Authors: Reverchon Florian
Published: November 2024

La restitution des élaborations dogmatiques des auteurs du ius commune suppose parfois une démarche systématique semblant infidèle aux sources. À partir de l’exemple de la nullitas des actes juridiques, cet article propose une réflexion sur l’identification de théories dans les œuvres du droit savant. L’articulation entre la conception commune de la nullité comme vice ontologique, et le discours technique sur l’annulation des actes prohibés conduisit à des constructions que l’on peut qualifier de théories. Elles abordent la question de l’insertion de la norme dans l’ordre juridique et donc de la cohérence du droit.
Des professionnels du vieillir en proie aux injonctions du bien vieillir
Authors: Burnay Nathalie
Published: November 2024

Cet article montre combien la catégorisation des bénéficiaires dans le secteur de l’aide à domicile en Belgique ne se construit pas directement sur des critères d’âge. Elle mobilise plutôt la dyade autonomie-dépendance à la fois des pouvoirs publics et des professionnelles du secteur. Ainsi, la catégorisation des bénéficiaires instaurée par le législateur contribue à maintenir à domicile une population qui, sans prestations extérieures, serait vouée à une forme d’institutionnalisation. Dans la situation actuelle, cette catégorisation permet véritablement le déploiement d’un travail émotionnel entre les bénéficiaires et les prestataires. Mais nous montrons ici combien la diffusion progressive d’un référentiel néolibéral du bien vieillir fait peser sur ces professionnelles d’autres pratiques de métier, basculant de facto d’une autonomie sociale à une autonomie fonctionnelle.

Un hambre que da calambre. Creativity and extravagance in the context of a family of consecutive constructional idioms
Authors: Ordines Pedro Ivorra
Published: November 2024

The fact that language is continually changing and that there is a constant flow of linguistic innovations is blatantly obvious. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the notion of E(nlarging/extending)-creativity in the context of Construction Grammar (Bergs 2019; Hoffmann 2020, 2022; Ivorra Ordines & López Meirama 2024; Mellado Blanco 2023; among others), in the sense of creating new communicative possibilities that are not already in the language. Against this background, I investigate the extravagant nature of a family of consecutive constructional idioms using data from the esTenTen18 corpus (Sketch Engine), with instances such as una sed que me bebería el entero lago ‘a thirst that could drink the entire lake’. After a constructionist description of the patterns under discussion, the aim of this paper is twofold. First, to elucidate the intersection of creativity and extravagance. Second, to explore the extravagant nature of such patterns through different indicators: orthotypographic markers and cognitive devices. Arguably, semi-schematic patterns with a pragmatic point constitute illustrative examples in the interface of syntax and pragmatics, and as such they can be insightful for our understanding of the trade-off between psychological-cognitive factors of creativity and socio-cognitive ones (such as the wish to be extravagant).

The purpose of this paper is to identify the perceptions and differences in the perceptions between the auditors on the assurance service of integrated reporting in Sri Lankan context. This research mainly focuses on the importance of assuring the IR, form and content of an audit report on IR, challenges of assuring IR and future of the IR assurance. The population of the research consists of auditors who provide assurance services on Integrated Reporting in Sri Lanka. Two hundred questionnaires were sent to assurance experts through the emails generating 115 usable responses. The analysis is done using non-parametric statistics which is the Kruskal-Wallis test. Empirical results prove that it is necessary to have an external assurance on an entity’s integrated report and it is important to audit the complete content of integrated reporting. When comparing the auditors' perceptions based on their respective rankings, the results indicate that there is a noticeable difference in how auditors view the necessity of Integrated Reporting (IR) assurance and their opinions on the appropriate level of assurance. Limiting the study to a single jurisdiction is an inherent limitation. In this paper differences and similarities are evaluated based on only the rank of the assurance providers. The findings of this research could be valuable for the International Integrated Reporting Council, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and other regulatory agencies and useful for academics and practitioners interested in providing assurance on IR.

Background: The rate of starch digestion and glycemic response are influenced by the composition of food.
Objectives: To formulate a healthy snack utilizing locally accessible ingredients and to determine the energy and macronutrient composition of the snack, the glycemic index, insulinemic index, and in vitro starch digestibility properties of the carbohydrate fractions of the snack and its main ingredients, which may be important in predicting the in vivo responses.
Materials & Methods: A healthy snack was formulated using Olu rice, foxtail millet, barley, and chickpeas as main ingredients, together with wheat flour, cinnamon, butter, raisins, egg white, baking powder and vanilla essence. Laboratory analysis was carried out to achieve the objectives.
Results: The proximate compositions of protein, fat, soluble dietary fiber, insoluble dietary fiber and digestible starch in g/100g were 12.35 ± 0.77, 15.00 ± 0.36, 3.47 ± 0.31, 1.8 ± 0.45 respectively with 441.8 kcal energy. The fiber content of the formulated healthy snack had a higher soluble fiber to insoluble fiber ratio. The starch digestion index (SDI) of the four main ingredients ranged from 21.60 to 38.50. The predicted glycemic indices (pGI) of the ingredients varied from 24.69-41.49, whereas the pGI of the formulated snack was 43.69 and the actual glycemic index was 36.5. All these values fell within the low GI category of foods.
Conclusions: A healthy snack with a low glycemic index can be prepared with locally available food items ensuring the cultural acceptability of Sri Lankans.
Nutritional Status and its Association with Quality of Life among Cancer Patients in Southern Sri Lanka: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Bandara D.R.D.S.M.S. , De Zoysa E.
Published: November 2024

Background and objectives: Malnutrition is a prevalent yet frequently overlooked issue among cancer patients, contributing to diminished quality of life (QOL). This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and QOL of cancer patients in a tertiary healthcare setting in Southern Sri Lanka.
Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 425 participants from the Oncology Unit of Teaching Hospital, Karapitiya. Data on socio-demographic characteristics were gathered through an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The nutritional status and QOL were assessed using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment Short Form (PG-SGA SF) and the validated Sinhala version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), respectively. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS Version 25.
Results: From the total subjects (n=425), majority (67.1%, n= 285) were females and 174 (40.9%) belonged to the age group of 51- 61 years. Among them, 168 (39.5%) subjects had cancers in the digestive tract and 110 (25.9%) had breast cancers. Nutritional status according to PG-SGA SF demonstrated that 191 (44.9%) patients were well-nourished and the majority (55.0%, n=234) were malnourished. Among malnourished, 158 were moderately and 76 were severely malnourished. Mean (SD) score for the overall quality of life defined as global health status according to EORTC QLQ-C30 was 54.36 ± 27.5 indicating poor overall QOL (reference value >61.3). All the dimensions of the functioning scale and the symptoms scale had low and high mean scores respectively indicating poor QOL. The association between the overall QOL and different nutritional stages (p< 0.001) and all the dimensions of the functional scale and symptoms scale (p< 0.05) were statistically significant.
Conclusions: The study reveals a high prevalence of moderate to severe malnutrition among cancer patients, accompanied by poor QOL. A statistically significant correlation between nutritional status and QOL scores reflects the imperative requirement of nutritional interventions aimed at enhancing QOL in this specific population.

Retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus and the leading cause of visual impairment. Danggui Buxue decoction (RRP) has been used as a traditional drug for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy for many years. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of RRP on hypoxia-induced retinal Müller cell injury. A model of retinal Müller cell damage was created using high glucose levels (25 mmol/L) and/or exposure to low oxygen conditions (1% O2). RRP was given to rats by continuous gavage for 7 days to obtain drug-containing serum. After sterilization, the serum was added to the culture medium at a ratio of 10%. Cell viability, apoptosis, and cell proliferation were assessed using the CCK-8 kit, Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide apoptosis kit, and EdU kit. The mRNA levels of angiogenesis factors (ANGPTL4, VEGF) and inflammatory factors (IL-1B, ICAM-1) were detected by RT-qPCR. Western blot analysis was employed to assess the levels of proteins related to the ATF4/CHOP pathway. Following hypoxia for 48 h and 72 h, there was a significant decrease in cell viability and proliferation, as well as a notable increase in apoptosis compared to the control group (21% O2). However, high glucose stimulation had no significant effect, and high glucose combined with hypoxia had no further damage to cells. After 48 h of exposure to low oxygen levels, the mRNA expression levels of ANGPTL4, VEGF, IL-1B, and ICAM-1 in retinal Müller cells were significantly higher than in the control group (21% O2). RRP treatment significantly alleviated the increase of cell apoptosis and the upregulation of IL-1B and-1 in retinal Müller cells induced by hypoxia. RRP has the potential to reduce the suppression of the ATF4/CHOP pathway in hypoxia-induced retinal Müller cells, and it significantly alleviates cell apoptosis through regulating inflammatory factors and the ATF4/CHOP pathway.

Background: Evaluation in contexts of fragility and violence has recently received attention because of the increased complexity of conducting such evaluations. The use of digital tools has been advocated for conducting these evaluations, but with limited results.Objectives: This article presents an in-depth analysis of combining digital tools with in-person activities to build trust and develop the type of human interaction required to improve the quality of evaluation design and implementation in the context of insecurity, fragility and violence.Method: Data collection was conducted both offline and online. Enumerators collected data through face-to-face individual interviews, and statistical analysis was performed using STATA software version 17.Results: The objectives of data collection were achieved at 99%, notwithstanding the challenging security environment. Several factors contributed to this achievement, notably our methodological framework based on trust building, digitisation and iterative programming. Despite this commendable performance, the overall efficiency was found to be 63%, indicating a potential for a 37% reduction in data collection time.Conclusion: The proposed trust-based approach has been successfully tested to enhance the quality of baseline studies and establish conditions for the success of other phases of evaluations.Contribution: This case study serves as an evidence to what we call a trust-based approach to the use of digital tools in evaluation processes. We contend that the effectiveness of digital tools in enhancing the quality of evaluation design, especially in the context of fragility and violence, hinges on their integration with face-to-face activities, trust-based human interaction and careful timing.
