Published: August 2023

An inflammatory process in the gingival and/or periodontal tissues prior to implantation seems to be a significant risk factor contributing to impaired osteointegration with implant rejection in the early or late stages due to the development of periimplantation mucositis followed by periimplantitis. In this regard, the task of searching for highly informative markers, both morphological and laboratory, as well as molecular genetic markers, remains extremely relevant, allowing predicting the risk of developing periimplantitis in various populations. An equally urgent task is the search for effective means of adjuvant therapy and prevention of inflammatory complications after dental implantation. The aim of this study was a comprehensive histopathological assessment of the state of the gingiva by biopsy at the stage before implantation in a clinical case series.

In a clinical case series (25 patients), using a descriptive histological method, a histopathological analysis of gingival biopsy samples obtained at the stage of implant placement was performed. The data of the descriptive histological analysis were supplemented by the results of an immunohistochemical study for the expression of vitamin D receptors (VDR) in the gingival tissues and inflammatory infiltration cells.

According to the results of a descriptive histopathological analysis, in 7 out of 25 cases (28%) in the gingival tissues of the edentulous area of the jaw in the area of the included defect of the dentition, the phenomenon of less or more pronounced chronic inflammation was revealed, manifested in lymphocytic or mixed lymphohistiocytic infiltration. Other significant histopathological changes were presented by the changes in the gingival epithelium, as well as disorders in the vessels of the microvasculature. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated the presence of a strong nuclear and/or cytoplasmic expression of VDR both in the epithelium and cells of the inflammatory infiltrate, regardless of the age and gender of the patients or the severity of inflammatory changes in the gingival tissues.

The results of the pilot analysis of clinical case series are of interest for further study of pre-implantation gingival or periodontal lesions, and may help identify biomarkers of the subsequent development of periimplantitis, as well also provide a fundamental rationale for the use of vitamin D as a prophylactic or therapeutic adjuvant.

Subject. The subject of this research is the immunological parameters of the blood serum and the oral fluid.

Objectives. The objective of this research is to study the levels of serum and oral cytokines TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, MCP-1 in women with secondary amenorrhea for at least one year.

Methodology. There were 109 women under the supervision of the Ural State Medical University Department of Preventive Dentistry and Propedeutics of Dental Disease. The main group consisted of 76 women with generalized moderate chronic periodontitis (K05.31)and secondary amenorrhea for at least one year. The control group consisted of 33 post-menopausal women with generalized slight chronic periodontitis in remission. The patients of the both groups underwent laboratory serum and oral fluid testing using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of cytokines TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, MCP-1 were measured in samples using Vector-Best’s tests systems (Vector-Best, Koltsovo, Novosibirsk Region, Russia). The systemic bone mineral density was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) with Discovery W QDR Series X-Ray Bone Densitometer (Hologic Inc., USA).

Conclusion. The levels of interleikins TNF-α, IFN-γ and chemokine MCP-1 were found to be elevated in the blood serum and the oral fluid of women generalized moderate chronic periodontitis against the background of secondary amenorrhea for at least one year. In contrast, the serum values of IL-4 revealed statistically lower levels in comparison with the same values of IL-4 in the patients from the control group. We defined the statistically significant (at 0.05) correlation between parameters of salivary IL-4 levels and spine bone mineral density, and also the statistically significant (at 0.05) weak negative correlation between parameters of blood IFN-γ levels and right-hip bone mineral density.

Published: August 2023

Subject. Digital technologies and information resources in the prevention of dental diseases in children's patients and their implementation in the activities of dental medical organizations of the Republic of Tatarstan.

The aim. To develop an information resource for children and their parents on the prevention of dental diseases in children's patients.

Results. The main method of influencing the patient is individual preventive counseling. Hygienic education and upbringing should be strictly differentiated by purpose and content, depending on the age of children. However, pediatric dentists have difficulties in teaching the patient and their parents hygiene skills. For example, this may be due to the lack of free time for parents to listen to information from a doctor about the prevention of dental diseases. Parents receive information from the Internet and social groups without thinking about the correctness of the information received and the availability of a scientific approach. The authors have developed a software product for patients of dental medical organizations of children's profile, in which the space is divided by age: from 0 to 17 years.

Conclusions. Despite the scaling up and implementation of preventive measures, the intensity of caries and its increase in many regions of the Russian Federation is at a fairly high level. The lack of information received at the clinical reception, the psycho-emotional component of the child's behavior, the lack of a scientific approach in the Internet information networks lead to low effectiveness of prevention programs. That is why one of the main directions in healthcare is the prevention of diseases, as well as the formation of a healthy lifestyle for both adults and children. The use of the developed product provides various advantages both for the dental medical organization and for patients and their parents. But most importantly, this will increase the effectiveness of preventive measures in children's patients.

The EU and the PRC have recently introduced new regulatory standards governing specific online platforms, intermediaries, and markets. As an agenda to enhance digital governance, regulatory initiatives have been made on various frontiers governing digital services and digital markets to enhance both domestic and cross-border online transactions. These developments arguably enhance the relevance of the evolving European and Chinese regulatory frameworks as a stimulating subject for comparative law studies. The present paper examines the evolving key regulatory standards governing digital services and markets in Europe and the PRC and assesses their effectiveness in enhancing digital governance. The paper examines the specific regulations governing online platforms, intermediaries, and digital markets to determine the interests, obligations, and liabilities of key stakeholders. The paper assesses the effectiveness of newly introduced market regulatory standards to protect businesses and end users from the dominance of key online players. The paper argues the need for other key jurisdictions, including China, to rejuvenate their domestic digital regulatory framework with reference to the evolving European regulatory standards. The paper concludes with an analysis based on the key findings of the paper and points out the referential utility of the European experience for prospective legal harmonization needs.
GEOCHEMISTRY OF RARE EARTH ELEMENTS IN ALLANITE OF THE DANILOVSKOYE MANIFESTATION OF THE GORNYI ALTAI
Authors:   Altai State Humanities and Pedagogical University, Biysk, Altai Territory, Gusev A. I.
Published: August 2023

Data are given on the geochemical pecularities and composition of allanite of the Danilovskoye pegmatite manifestation belonging to the Nb > Ta-Y-F (NYF) family and allanite (orthite)-monazite type enriched with light rare earth elements (REE). Allanite occurs in the large-block part and micropegmatite fringe of zonal pegmatites and it is closely associated with hydroxyl-containing minerals- muscovite, zoisite. Total concentrations of rare earth elements in mineral vary from 182163 to 189046 g/t. It is also characterized by increased contents of Ti, Y, Th, U, Mn. High ratios (La/Yb)N (from 278 to 375.7) indicate a highly diff erentiated type of REE distribution. The tetradic effect of the W-type REE fractionation in allanite is due to abnormal conditions of its crystallization at the transition stage to water enrichment of fluids and an increased alkaline regime of the mineral formation medium. This process contributed to manifestation of the effect of nonсonformity to charge-radius behavior of chemical elements during crystallization of allanite. Abundant mineral secretions contributed to its accumulation in placers of some rivers together with monazite.

The paper presents the results of studies on the reserves availability of copper-containing ores. Comparative analysis of the mineral resource bases of Russia, Chile, the USA and the world as a whole is carried out using cumulative availability curves. The curves represent a graph of cumulative volumes of proved mineral reserves, ranked by the degree of economic feasibility of their involvement in the development, depending on the estimated price for this type of mineral products. The estimated price is determined based on considerations of the minimum level of the development profitability. The authors propose an approach to determining the estimated price depending on the probabilities of deposits involvement in development. The approach is based on the construction of “content-reserves” diagrams for operated and reserve mineral deposits and can be used in conditions of limited availability of information about the parameters and conditions for the development of specific reserves. For the compared mineral resource bases, the sizes of economically available copper reserves have been established at present, the limits of possible increment in available reserves have been determined with favorable changes in the market position of mineral commodity markets and improvement of the extraction tehnology and processing of mineral raw materials.

Based on new ideas on the deep magma formation, according to which t here is only one primary basalt magma, the article interprets the causes of catastrophic phenomena (volcanism, plutonism, earthquakes, tsunamis, glaciation, warming, etc.) exclusively in connection with mantle processes. External man-made causes practically make no matter. And endogenous processes proceed slowly, with long interruptions, locally, discretely. Therefore, there have not been universal catastrophes and there will not be. There is no reason for the climate globe-spanning panic.

Published: August 2023

Intra-thoracic defects continue to pose a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Stable soft tissue coverage and obliteration of dead space can be particularly challenging when complicated by infection or previous radiation. These cases may require a less conventional method of reconstruction. We describe a case in which vacuum-assisted closure followed by pedicled omental flap transposition was successfully used to reconstruct a complicated intra-thoracic wound following pneumonectomy, radiation therapy, and recurrent wound dehiscences secondary to chronic infection.
Rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on 2D grayscale images and Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Nets under unbalanced sample condition
Authors: He Jiaxing , Lv Zhaomin , Chen Xingjie
Published: August 2023

Accurate diagnosis of rolling bearing faults plays a crucial role in ensuring the stable operation of rotating machinery systems. However, in actual engineering applications, a significant disparity between the volume of normal data and the quantity of fault data collected impairs diagnostic performance. Bearing fault diagnosis under sample imbalance conditions is an engineering challenge encountered in the field of fault diagnosis. To improve the fault diagnosis accuracy under unbalanced sample conditions, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on 2D grayscale images and Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks (WGAN) is proposed. The method consists of three main steps. First, the acquired bearing vibration signals are transformed into 2D grayscale images. Second, the WGAN generation model is used to generate more fault samples. Finally, both the original samples and the generated samples are used to train the Convolutional Neural Networks classification model. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are evaluated and compared to other bearing fault diagnosis approaches using the Case Western Reserve University Bearing Data Center dataset. The experimental results demonstrate the superior quality of the generated samples and the improved fault identification accuracy achieved by the proposed method.
Concerns to Aging and Health of Schizophrenia Inpatients During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Lo Su-Chen , Rong Jiin-Ru
Published: August 2023

Aims: Patients with schizophrenia are more likely to be affected by contagious diseases and health problems because of the influence of factors such as comorbidity with chronic diseases, psychiatric symptoms, and whether treatment with psychotropic drugs is possible. Accordingly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was particularly important to pay attention to the health problems and coping experiences of patients with schizophrenia.Methods: Twenty inpatients with schizophrenia were recruited via purposive sampling to participate in this qualitative study. Data collection was conducted from June to August 2022 and the data were analyzed via thematic analysis.Results: Four dominant themes emerged from the responses of the participants, who: 1) were concerned about COVID-19 and performed health-management behaviors; 2) were concerned about significant health problems but did not take preventive actions; 3) experienced barriers to health management; and 4) required healthcare resources for elderly patients.Conclusions: We found that these patients with schizophrenia had received health management education and implemented infection-prevention measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although they expressed concerns about health problems that interfered significantly with their daily lives, including the need for healthcare resources for the elderly, they lacked awareness of aging-related comorbidities. Healthcare professionals should thus align the care they provide with their patients’ needs, continuously provide them with health-related information, observe their daily behaviors, and help them to develop their skills related to changing and implementing health behaviors.

Published: August 2023

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between financial inclusion and the distribution of Islamic banking financing to Indonesia's MSME industry.Methodology – This study utilizes the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) approach covering the period between 2015 to 2020.Findings – The study's findings suggest that the use of all-inclusive financial variables, as represented by the number of ATMs, branch offices, and Third-Party Fund (TPF), has a significant effect on the distribution of financing in the short-term but not in the long term. Furthermore, macroeconomic as well as internal control variables, such as inflation and Non-Performing Financing, have been shown to have a significant influence. The impulse-response function analysis shows that the financing distribution responds positively to financial inclusion variables such as ATMs and branch offices. TPF, inflation, ROA, and exchange rate variables were found to have negative responses in the case of a shock.Implications – The findings of this study are expected to be used as a basis to develop government policies, particularly in supporting the post-COVID-19 national economic recovery through a comprehensive financial program that can broaden access to financing from Islamic banks for the general public, particularly MSME actors who have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.Originality – This investigation utilizes three distinct indicators to assess the relationship between Islamic financing distribution in Islamic banking and financial inclusion for MSMEs. These include measures of financial inclusion, financial performance metrics of Islamic banking institutions, and macroeconomic variables.
The Combined Effect of Big 5 Personality Traits on Fourth-Graders´ Math Performance
Authors: Araya Roberto , González-Vicente Pablo
Published: August 2023

children is challenging. An important advance is the 15-questions Pictorial Personality Traits Questionnaire for Children. A study on students from 10 to 13 years old in Poland validated the questionnaire but with some observations. Thus, there is a need for replication and stronger evi-dence in this age group. In Chile, we replicated the study with 3,423 4th-graders (9 to 12 years old). Teachers, in regular sessions, applied the questionnaire to their entire classes. We found similar results, including that asexual pictograms worked well in both genders. We also found positive relationships between conscientiousness, openness, and extraversion with mathematical performance. Furthermore, a combination of these three traits has a relationship with math performance twice as big as each trait alone. Moreover, students with the lowest scores in this combination of personality traits (6.6% of students) have 0.27 standard deviations less in mathematical performance than those with the highest score, which is 74.3% of students. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a study finds a strong relationship between a combination of personality traits gathered with a 15-question questionnaire and fourth-graders´ math perfor-mances.

The divination function of China's Yijing has led to its circulation for thousands of years. In our exploration of Yijing's characteristics using big data, we have discovered variations in results between the coin toss method and the ancient yarrow-stalk method of divination, known as "the number for the great expansion method of divination(大衍之数)". The yarrow-stalk method serves as the fundamental method of divination in Yijing and continues to hold significance in studying the essential characteristics of Yijing. Despite the complexity of yarrow calculations, advancements in computer technology and big data have simplified its application. By employing the yarrow-stalk method, we simulated changes in the 64 hexagrams, calculated probabilities and proportions of hexagram alterations, and derived fundamental characteristics and patterns of hexagrams. Additionally, we constructed the spatial representation of lines and hexagrams. Through a binary system rearrangement, we created a 64x64 matrix illustrating hexagram transformations. Subsequently, we generated 100 million random hexagrams and analyzed line and hexagram changes accordingly. Our findings indicate the following:(1) Big data analysis reveals evident asymmetry in the hexagrams obtained through the yarrow-stalk method, with a triangular fractal characteristic forming the background.(2) Each of the 64 hexagrams exhibits a distinct probability distribution when transforming into other hexagrams, which can be categorized into five types.(3)The occurrence probabilities of Laoyang, Laoyin, Shaoyang, and Shaoyin are 18.61%, 6.387%, 31.38%, and 43.62% respectively. The probabilities of Yin and Yang occurrences are nearly equal, each close to 50%. However, the probability of Laoyang is approximately three times higher than that of Laoyin.(4) Visualized and analyzed the characteristics of hexagram changes greater than 100000 times using 3D statistical maps and Sankey diagram.These results demonstrate that the yarrow-stalk method effectively unveils the characteristics and underlying patterns of the 64 hexagrams. This study provides a novel approach for scientifically exploring the internal laws governing the 64 hexagrams in Yijing.

Plums are widely distributed in Türkiye and around the world. Different wild grown plum spe-cies such as Prunus spinosa, Prunus cerasifera and Prunus domestica shows abundance of different climatic zones in Türkiye. Seed propagated diverse plum trees has been growing Anatolia for centuries and fruits of wild plants has economic value. In this study a total of 8 wild grown blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) sampled from Ispir district of Erzurum province and subjected to morphological, biochemical and antioxidant characterization. Taste, aroma, and juiciness were used as the criteria for sensory analysis, and a trained panel of five experts established and evaluated the sensory characteristics of the fruits of the blackthorn. Fruit weight, fruit skin and flesh color as L*, a* and b* values were the main morphological parameters. For biochemical analysis, organic acids, SSC (Soluble Solid Content), vitamin C, total anthocyanins, total phenol-ic content and total antioxidant capacity were determined. Antioxidant capacity was determined by FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assay. Results indicated significant differences among genotypes. Fruit weight were found between 2.78-3.67 g. Skin L∗, a∗ and b∗ values were 13.11-16.12, 2.56-3.85 and 2.01-3.44, respectively. Flesh L∗, a∗ and b∗ values were in range of 17.45-20.37, 4.88-6.73 and 4.12-5.66, respectively. SSC content was ranged from 18.66% to 21.07%. The total phenolic content (TPC), total anthocyanin content (TAC) and ferric reducing antioxi-dant power (FRAP) were between 372-504 mg GAE/100 g; 53-72 mg cy-3-g eq./100 g and 107-134 mmol Fe (II) eq./g, respectively. The dominant organic acid was malic acid for all genotypes and varied from 1.04 g/100 g to 1.52 g/100 g fresh weight base. Results indicated the importance wild blackthorn fruits for human health.

To assess the impact of tourism on the incidence of HIV and AIDS using Malaysian epidemiological data over the period of 1986-2011 with additional consideration for newborns infected with HIV. A population-level mathematical model was used to investigate: i) the role of tourism in the spread of HIV and measures used to reduce HIV spread in Malaysia; ii) whether the stability of infectious disease transmission is dependent on the flow of visiting tourists. We first derived an equation for the reproduction number (R0) threshold to quantify the contagiousness of HIV in Malaysia. Sensitivity analyses were used to determine the effect of various parameters on HIV transmission with respect to the increase in tourism. Our findings suggest that a stable disease-free state is sustainable based on the low value of R0 was 0.0017. This result is encouraging from a public health perspective. Approximately 14% of outbound tourists who leave the country return infected with HIV and the difference between the rate at which tourists move to the susceptible category and the rate at which tourists leave the susceptible is category is 12%. Estimated parameters for the influx of tourist rates, δ=1.1540x10-3[1.1477x10-3 - 1.15954x10-3], δ1=7.7901x10-4[7.7867x10-4 - 7.79418x10-4], and δ2=1.4030x10-8[-7.2287x10-7-7.5096x10-7], significantly impacted the spread of HIV in Malaysia. Some significant adjustments were made to the expected parameters. The methods used are helpful to public health analyses and provide a framework for epidemiological modeling of HIV spread among tourists. The trend and magnitude of tourist inflows may be determinants in the incidence of HIV and AIDS in Malaysia.

Most existing data synthesis methods are designed to tackle problems such as dataset imbalance, data anonymization and insufficient sample size. There is a lack of effective synthesis methods for the limited number of datasets which contain a large of features and unknown noise to expand the size of the dataset. We propose a data synthesis method, named Adaptive Subspace Interpolation for Sample Optimization (ASISO). The idea is to divide the original feature space into several subspaces with an equal number of samples, and then perform interpolation for the samples in the adjacent subspaces. This method can adaptively adjust the size of the dataset containing unknown noise, and the expanded data typically contain minimal error with actual. Moreover, it adjusts the structure of the samples, which can significantly reduce the proportion of samples with large errors. In addition, the hyperparameters of this method have an intuitive explanation and usually require little calibration. Experimental results on artificial data and benchmark data sets demonstrate that ASISO is a robust and stable method to optimize samples.
