Published: November 2021

Abstract. The tsunami hazard posed by the Flores backarc thrust, which runs along the northern coast of the islands of Bali and Lombok, Indonesia, is poorly studied compared to the Sunda megathrust, situated ~250 km to the south of the islands. However, the 2018 Lombok earthquake sequence demonstrated the seismic potential of the western Flores Thrust when a fault ramp beneath the island of Lombok ruptured in two Mw 6.9 earthquakes. Although the uplift in these events mostly occurred below land, the sequence still generated 1–2.5 m-high local tsunamis along the northern coast of Lombok (Wibowo et al., 2021). Historical records show that the Flores fault system in the Lombok and Bali region has generated at least six ≥ Ms 6.5 tsunamigenic earthquakes since 1800 CE. Hence, it is important to assess the possible tsunami hazard represented by this fault system. Here, we focus on the submarine fault segment located between the islands of Lombok and Bali (below the Lombok Strait). We assess modeled tsunami patterns generated by fault slip in six earthquake scenarios (slip of 1–5 m, representing Mw 7.2–7.9+), with a focus on impacts on the capital cities of Mataram, Lombok and Denpasar, Bali, which lie on the coasts facing the strait. We use a geologically constrained earthquake model informed by the Lombok earthquake sequence (Lythgoe et al., 2021), together with a high-resolution bathymetry dataset developed by combining direct measurements from GEBCO with sounding measurements from the official nautical charts for Indonesia. Our results show that fault rupture in this region could trigger a tsunami reaching Mataram in < 8 minutes and Denpasar in ~10–15 minutes, with multiple waves. For an earthquake with 3–5 m of coseismic slip, Mataram and Denpasar experience maximum wave heights of ~1.3–3.3 m and ~0.7 to 1.5 m, respectively. Furthermore, our earthquake models indicate that both cities would experience coseismic subsidence of 20–40 cm, exacerbating their exposure to both the tsunami and other coastal hazards. Overall, Mataram city is more exposed than Denpasar to high tsunami waves arriving quickly from the fault source. To understand how a tsunami would affect Mataram, we model the associated inundation using the 5 m slip model and show that Mataram is inundated ~55–140 m inland along the northern coast and ~230 m along the southern coast, with maximum flow depths of ~2–3 m. Our study highlights that the early tsunami arrival in Mataram, Lombok gives little time for residents to evacuate. Raising their awareness about the potential for locally generated tsunamis and the need for evacuation plans is important to help them respond immediately after experiencing strong ground shaking.
Thermokarst lakes formed in buried glacier ice: Observations from Bylot Island, eastern Canadian Arctic

Published: November 2021

Abstract. In formerly glaciated permafrost regions, extensive areas are still underlain by a considerable amount of glacier ice buried by glacigenic sediments. Although the extent and volume of undisturbed relict glacier ice are unknown, these ice bodies are predicted to melt with climate warming but their impact on landscape evolution remains poorly studied. The spatial distribution of buried glacier ice can play a significant role in reshaping periglacial landscapes, in particular thermokarst aquatic systems. This study focuses on lake initiation and development in response to the melting of buried glacier ice on Bylot Island, Nunavut. We studied a lake-rich area using lake-sediment cores, detailed bathymetric data, remotely sensed data and observations of buried glacier ice exposures. Our results suggest that initiation of deeper thermokarst lakes was triggered by the melting of buried glacier ice. They have subsequently enlarged through thermal and mechanical shoreline erosion, as well as vertically through thaw consolidation and subsidence, and they later coalesced with neighbouring water bodies to form larger lakes. Thus, these lakes now evolve as “classic” thermokarst lakes that expand in area and volume as a result of the melting of intrasedimental ground ice in the surrounding material and the underlying glaciofluvial and till material. It is expected that the deepening of thaw bulbs (taliks) and the enlargement of Arctic lakes in response to global warming will reach undisturbed buried glacier ice, if any, which in turn will substantially alter lake bathymetry, geochemistry and greenhouse gas emissions from Arctic lowlands.

Development of the nose and soft tissue profile
Authors: Genecov Jeffrey , Sinclair Peter ,   University of North Carolina, Dechow Paul ,   Baylor College of Dentistry
Published: November 2021

Cephalometric radiographs from a sample of 64 untreated persons (32 Class I and 32 Class II) were evaluated to determine the amount. direction and timing of facial soft tissue development. Twenty-five parameters were evaluated in the mixed dentition (7 to 9 years), the early permanent dentition (11 to 13 years), and early adulthood (16 to 18 years). Results showed that anteroposterior growth and subsequent increased anterior projection of the nose continued in both males and females after skeletal growth had subsided. However, females had concluded a large proportion of their soft tissue development by age 12 while in males continued growth was noted until age 17 resulting in their having greater soft tissue dimensions for many of the parameters evaluated. During the developmental period, the angular shapes and positional relationships of the nose, lips and chin remained relatively constant for both sexes and were relatively independent of the underlying hard tissues. Treatment planning implications may be drawn from the amounts and timing of the soft tissue development found in this study. [Reprinted from The Angle Orthodontist]
The relationship of posture and dental health
Authors: MacConkey Dawn
Published: November 2021

Summary: Poor posture is not thought of as an injury or health problem. However, over time, the dysfunction can lead to degeneration and its net effect can be as damaging as an injury. When the occlusion is malaligned, a compensating effect takes place through the postural chain and the body must adjust. This can often affect the work of dental professionals, possibly causing a failure in their procedures if not addressed. Early postural screening by a physical therapist can aid in the prevention of postural dysfunctions. Physical therapists should be an integral part of the program for dental professionals.

Published: November 2021

A biracial sample of two-hundred ninety-six children were assessed for open-mouth posture (OMP) in the natural environment. In addition, rhinometry was performed on 288 of the youngsters. Means were computed for percent OMP and cross-sectional nasal airway. Results indicated that in general these children exhibited relatively high rates of OMP. Boys displayed significantly greater OMP than girls. However, children exhibiting OMP on 80% of the observation intervals had significantly smaller cross-sectional nasal areas than the youngsters who displayed OMP on fewer than 20% of observation intervals. The implications of the findings were discussed.

Artificial sucking habits: Etiology, prevalence and effect on occlusion
Authors:   University of Lund, Sweden, Larsson Erik
Published: November 2021

Active digit-sucking results in 1) reduced vertical growth of the frontal parts of alveolar process which creates an anterior open bite; 2) proclination of the upper incisors as a result of the horizontal force crested by the digit; 3) anterior displacement of the maxilla for the same reason; 4) anterior rotation of the maxilla, resulting in an increased prevalence of posterior crossbite in the deciduous dentition; and 6) proclination or retroclination of the lower incisors which seems to be due to the strength of the tightness of the lower lip and tongue activity during sucking. When the sucking habit stops, the anterior open bite will correct itself spontaneously, due to increased growth of the alveolar processes, provided that the patient is still growing. If the lip activity and the lip/teeth relationship is normal, the upper incisors will upright themselves, and sometimes, due to the anterior displacement of maxilla, become somewhat retroclined. The skeletal effect of the sucking habit will remain. Improper use oi a pacifier can create quite disastrous effects on the occlusion, if, for instance, the child has the shield inside the lower lip or is biting into the shield. Otherwise, the effect of the pacifier is limited to the vertical and the transversal plane. The anterior openbite is normally more obvious and visible earlier in pacifier-suckers than in digit-suckers. As in digit-suckers, the open bite is associated with tongue thrust during swallowing. Also in pacifier-suckers, the open bite will correct itself spontaneously when the habit stops despite the tongue-thrust. Sucking a pacifier is more clearly related to a posterior crossbite in the deciduous dentition than is digit-sucking. When the pacifier is in the child’s mouth, the teat occupies the upper part of the anterior and middle part of the mouth thus forcing the tongue to a lower position. In the upper jaw, the teeth in the canine area lack palatal support from the tongue during the sucking activity of the cheeks. This reduces the arch width and increases the risk of a transversal malrelation between the upper and lower arches. The low tongue position widens the lower jaw in the same area thus enhancing the probability of the development of a posterior cross-bite.
An examination of alveolar stop retraction during pacifier use
Authors:   Ohio University, Garber Norman , Reynolds Mary
Published: November 2021

Employing a single subject A-B-A experimental design, a four year old female with normal articulation and a history of pacifier use was observed to demonstrate alveolar stop retraction more than fifty percent of the time while using her orthodontic device. Contextual factors appeared to have played a role in this variability. Upon confirming this phenomenon in the four year old subject, a foiiow-up investigation was undertaken with seven children between the ages of three and five years. All subjects had age appropriate articulation skills with no evidence of alveolar stop retraction without the pacifier in place and only rarely with the pacifier in place (.85% ). Implications of these findings and the need for further research are discussed.

Program to eliminate thumb (or finger) sucking
Authors: Pierce Roberta
Published: November 2021

The key to successful elimination of thumbsucking is motivation. The child and the parents must understand why the sucking must be stopped and the damage it causes to the teeth and palate. In some instances, a parent believes the child needs to suck, and that eliminating thumbsucking will rob the child of a necessary psychological satisfaction or will cause other aberrant behaviors to emerge. This is simply not true. In other instances, a child may have tried numerous gimmicks unsuccessfully or has been nagged relentlessly to get your thumb out of your mouth. 'The most important goal in presenting a thumb program is to convince both parent and child that you have a method which really works.
The Role of Mathematical Values Concept in the Internalization of Insan Kamil
Authors: 'Azizah Nilatul , Fitriya Ita
Published: November 2021

The lack of knowledge and understanding of human beings to the values implied in mathematics that causes mathematics is considered as a lesson that is very contrary to the concept of religion, especially the field of Sufism when in fact mathematics is a means provided by Allah SWT to facilitate people to carry out the task of servitude and the task of the caliphate to the  level  of insan  kamil. This research uses a qualitative approach. Literature review was used to obtain research data. The results of this study state that the concept of mathematical values in the internalization of insan kamil is to encourage humans to develop problem solving skills, communication skills, and reasoning skills to face every situation and problem in life. This discussion also presented that mathematics in addition to teaching to think and reason but also teach honest, humble, not arrogant, sincere, iffah, consistent and systematic attitude. This is a reflection of insan kamil.
English The origin and development of Sufism in Bengal and Assam in India
Authors: Khan Nasir R
Published: November 2021

Sufism refers to the mystical dimension of Islam, which, moving away from its rigid doctrinal form, speaks of self-realization, love, submission, and intense personal devotion as being the path to reach God. This paper attempts to understand Sufism and its essential principles, proceeding to trace its establishment and evolution in the Indian subcontinent, with a special focus on Bengal and Assam. The paper discusses the development of Sufism in the regions of Bengal and Assam by situating it in its precise historical and cultural context, exploring at length its interactions with the Bhakti movement and Buddhist Sahajiya tantrism, its impact on the folk art, culture and literature of the regions, and its role in shaping the socio-political climate of the regions over the ages. Lastly, the paper attempts to comment upon how Sufism, with its inherent variations and contradictions, survives in these regions today, and the significance that it holds for the people in contemporary times. In doing so, the paper attempts to understand whether Sufism and its ideals can become useful in promulgating a culture of peace and tolerance in an increasingly polarized and divided society.

Published: November 2021

Urban Green Open Space has important benefits for the lives of its residents. However, the problem that often arises is that there are many green open spaces in the city only as spaces that are responsive to the climate, environment, and as noise absorbers. Even though its existence is more than that, Green Open Space should also be able to fulfill the social activities of city dwellers in interacting, communicating and other social realities to create positive mental growth for fellow city residents. Architecture can be used as a vehicle to make a place not only a visual use but also can be a benefit for human life in the quality of its social reality. Therefore, research activities are needed by observing the relationship between Green Open Space and social activities of the city community as users to find the identity of the place so that the character is seen as the cause of the place to exist. The research was conducted by adopting a qualitative method that was translated descriptively at certain times in a factual manner so that the audience got a clear picture of the social reality that occurred. The results of the study explain that the pattern of activities that occur interactively on the character of the place provided contextually is intended for teenage visitors. There is no strict place limit between adolescent habitus social activities, this is a stereotype of the arena, capital, and power of adolescents who tend to be free.

Authors: Abbhi Humanshi , Sarkar Pradip , Ramasubbu Hariharan
Published: November 2021

Background: Dental specialists are at a higher risk of work related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) that lead to physical disability. Musculoskeletal pain in dentists is due to constrained body postures for prolonged period of time. Limited number of studies has been done in India to check the prevalence and factors associated with the musculoskeletal pain among dentists.
Purpose: To see the prevalence and assess the intensity of musculoskeletal pain in different anatomical parts among dentists from two different institutes of Chandigarh along with identification of selected factors associated with the onset of musculoskeletal (MS) pain among them.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was made among interns, postgraduate students and faculty members from two different institutes of Chandigarh. A total of 120 members completed a questionnaire containing 24 questions. The study variables in the questionnaire were divided into 3 groups as: Socio-demographic information, ergonomic variables and work- related musculoskeletal pain.
Results: Most of the dentists (79.2%) reported musculoskeletal pain during the past 12 months. On comparing different locations of pain, the lower back region was frequently affected area (87.4%) followed by pain in neck region (83.2%). Females were more susceptible to pain than males. A significant association (p<0.05) was found between sitting posture adopted by dentists, years of practice and the MS pain. Highest prevalence was found in dentists adopting forward bent posture in sitting during work (87.3%) and those working for >15 years (90.9%).
Conclusion: The study revealed that prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was high among dentists. Higher incidence of pain was found in women and younger dentists. The lower back region was most commonly affected area followed by neck region. The study also found that musculoskeletal pain increased with increase in years of practice with significant association between them.

Background: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a public health emergency of international concern. The global population lacks immunity to COVID-19 and is generally susceptible. Underlying conditions, especially chronic respiratory diseases, may affect progression, treatment and prognosis of COVID-19. The majority of people who exposed to COVID-19 suffer only mild respiratory symptoms like cough, cold, difficulty in breathing, etc and these symptoms were correlated with Kaba Suram in the Siddha literature.
Case Summary: Siddha Clinical Research Unit, New Delhi (CCRS), Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India had reported a patient with confirmed COVID-19 by RT-PCR with bronchial asthma as a co-morbid condition. Recovery time from disease onset to negative test for COVID-19 was 19 days.
Conclusion: Since the patient residing in Dwaraka, New Delhi has bronchial asthma as a co-morbid condition, both air pollution and the winter season are likely to increase the severity of the disease. But it was observed that the patient’s condition did not deteriorate, so it could be presumed that the management of COVID-19 with the given Siddha internal medicines and external therapies as a standalone treatment ceased the progress of the disease to a severe stage.

Пенсионная реформа 2018 года в России и ее влияние на работников градообразующего предприятия в российской Арктике
Authors: Скуфьина Татьяна Петровна , Бажутова Екатерина Андреевна
Published: November 2021

Исследования, посвященные рассмотрению влияния пенсионных изменений на общественные процессы, являются актуальными во всем мире в силу экономической значимости и социальной заостренности буквально любых изменений в пенсионном законодательстве. Несмотря на очевидную значимость для России, практически отсутствуют оценки влияния пенсионных изменений на социально-экономические процессы в Арктике. Серия авторских исследований частично восполняет этот пробел, подтверждая, что особые арктические условия инициируют повышенные риски устойчивому развитию при реализации пенсионной реформы. В этой статье мы приводим результаты исследования реакции на пенсионные изменения отдельной целевой аудитории – персонала градообразующего предприятия, расположенного в российской Арктике. Метод исследования – письменный опрос, выполненный с учетом квот по полу, возрасту, занимаемой должности, условиям труда на градообразующем предприятии. Установлено, что влияние пенсионных изменений на миграционные настроения работников рудообразующего предприятия менее значительно в сравнении с общерегиональной ситуацией. Негативные высказывания работников градообразующего предприятия относительно пенсионной реформы и ее последствий не подтвердили ожидаемого лояльного отношения к пенсионной реформе. Полученные результаты развивают представления о региональных эффектах реализации пенсионной реформы 2018 года.

Оценка эффективности туризма в регионе с учетом вовлеченности в информационное пространство (на примере Кабардино-Балкарской Республики)
Authors: Кетова Фардиана Руслановна
Published: November 2021

Процессы информатизации и цифровизации социально-экономического пространства изучаются с различных позиций и включают множество аспектов. В сфере предоставления туристских услуг также следует отметить значимость внедрения новых технологий, их применение и влияние. Несмотря на то, что проблемы развития туризма достаточно хорошо освещаются в работах современных ученых, остаются малоисследованными вопросы оценки влияния трансформационных процессов, связанных с переходом к информационному обществу, на показатели развития туризма. Этим обусловлена постановка цели данной работы, заключающаяся в проведении оценки взаимного влияния эффективности осуществления туристской деятельности и уровня развития информационного общества на территории отдельного региона. Выдвинута гипотеза о том, что развитие туризма отражается на уровне развития информационного общества в регионе. Проверка данного предположения проведена эконометрическими методами при помощи изучении взаимосвязи социально-экономических показателей развития туризма и индикаторов развития информационного общества в регионе. В результате исследования произведен расчет интегрального показателя эффективности деятельности по оказанию туристских услуг в регионе на примере Кабардино-Балкарской Республики и сформулирована заключительная оценка. Полученные результаты дополняют концептуальные основы анализа эффективности деятельности по оказанию туристских услуг и туризма в целом.

Степень подготовленности выпускников к самореализации в профессии во многом зависит от адекватности восприятия студентами рынка труда. Целью работы является разработка методического подхода оценки адекватности восприятия студентами регионального рынка труда через оценку ожиданий преимуществ, которые дает образование, полученное в ходе овладения профессией. Исследование профессиональных ожиданий студентов производилось на основе анализа данных онлайн-опросов студентов вузов Приморского края в период с 2017 по 2021 год. Для обработки данных использовались многомерные статистические методы. Выделение однородных групп производилось путем применения метода группировки данных и классификации данных методом k-средних. По результатам проведенного исследования можно сделать вывод, что у многих студентов неверное или искаженное представление о выбранной профессии и реалиях современного рынка труда.
Вакцинация от СOVID-19: модели поведенческой экономики
Authors: Мельникова Ольга Александровна , Мельников Михаил Юрьевич
Published: November 2021

Важную роль в жизни современного человека играет проблема выбора. В настоящее время поведенческая экономика рассматривается как качественно-положительная составляющая, применяемая к сопутствующей традиционной теории поведения потребителей. Это связано с тем, что с помощью поведенческой экономики можно объяснить различные противоречивые способы совершения определённых действий, которые лежат в основе выбора и суждений людей и не могут быть объяснены классической экономикой. В данной статье поведенческая экономика хорошо применяется к фармацевтической области, а именно к вопросам, связанным с вакцинацией в условиях COVID-19. Однако несмотря на то, что фармацевтическая область является очень благодатной почвой для исследований в области поведенческой экономики, исследования поведения потребителя в условиях коронавирусной инфекции практически отсутствуют. В данной работе мы постарались рассмотреть различные точки зрения, связанные с применением подходов поведенческой экономики и принятию решений о вакцинации. Исследования проводились с помощью эконометрики и математических методов. В связи с этим целью настоящего исследования является объяснение поведения потребителя по вопросам, связанным с вакцинацией, и построение математической модели. В данной статье рассмотрены ответы на такие вопросы, как поведенческая экономика может предотвратить распространение пандемии. Позволяет понять, почему соблюдение ограничений утомительно для потребителя и какую полезность с точки зрения потребителей может принести вакцинация. В работе предоставлен широкий обзор, показывающий, как стратегии поведенческой экономики могут влиять и реализовываться в различных областях фармацевтической области. В результате исследования были выявлены основные тенденции, влияющие на поведение потребителя, при вакцинации и описана математическая модель, выбора потребителя, связанная с вакцинацией от COVID-19. Полученные результаты вносят вклад в развитие поведенческой экономики в экстремальных ситуациях.
Preparation and Characterization of Curcumin and Epigallocatechin gallate co-loaded polymeric microspheres for Colonic delivery
Authors: Patel Nisarg C , Patel Anita P , K Patel Jayvadan
Published: November 2021

Curcumin (CURC) is a natural polyphenolic compound obtained from Curcuma longa which shows preventive and therapeutic actions against cancer. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a potent phytomolecule obtained from Camellia sinensis, with wide biological activity. The therapeutic effect is limited, owing to poor stability and limited membrane permeability across the intestine. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate colon-targeted microspheres of CURC and EGCG, using natural polymers. W/O emulsion crosslinking technique was used to prepare microspheres of CURC and EGCG using interpenetrating network (IPN) of Chitosan (CS) and Gum acacia (GA) and glutaraldehyde was used as a crosslinking agent. Prepared microspheres were filled in capsules coated with Eudragit S100. The prepared microspheres were evaluated in vitro for preformulation studies, encapsulation efficiency, micromeritic properties, dissolution studies and stability studies. FTIR and DSC studies had proved that the drug and polymers are compatible. The good flow property of microspheres showed that the microspheres are not aggregated. SEM micrographs of microspheres show a rough and folded surface morphology. The microspheres are spherical and uniform in shape. Formulations showed good encapsulation efficiency. Formulation F1 to F6 showed sustained release of drug for 10 h. The in-vitro drug release of batches was best explained by Higuchi models showing anomalous diffusion mechanism. The coated batch showed better release results. The optimized formulation for a period of 3 month at 40±2°/75 ± 5% RH showed no significant changes. The current approach was helpful to develop polysaccharide based microspheres of CURC and EGCG to enhance colonic drug delivery.
