Background: Intraoral radiographs are essential diagnostic tools in dentistry. Ensuring their quality is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This study compared the quality of radiographs produced by undergraduate dental students and qualified dental assistants to identify common errors and assess improvements following feedback and interventions. Methods: This retrospective, observational study compared the quality of digital bitewing and periapical radiographs taken by students and assistants across two audit cycles, with feedback provided between cycles. The radiographs were assessed using a modified quality assessment scale based on the Faculty of General Dental Practice (FGDP, UK) guidelines. Data were collected from the radiology imaging software, and a total of 100 intraoral digital radiographs were analyzed for each group in both cycles. Results: Initially, radiographs from both groups had issues, primarily positioning errors. After providing feedback and additional training, significant improvements were observed from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2. Dental assistants had a higher percentage of acceptable periapical radiographs, while students excelled in bitewing radiographs. Both groups demonstrated marked improvements, reflecting the effectiveness of the interventions. Conclusions: Continuous training, feedback, and quality assurance measures are vital for improving radiograph quality. A multifaceted approach, including updated equipment and adherence to quality control protocols, can significantly enhance patient care. The study highlights the importance of regular calibration and training for dental professionals to maintain high standards in radiographic practices. Further research is recommended to identify additional strategies for improving radiographic quality.
Experiment-based conceptualization of an automated disassembly process chain for the recycling of lithium-ion battery modules
Authors: Hölter Timo , Dierksen Fynn Hendrik , Dröder Klaus
Published: May 2024

As the volume of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries (LIB) used in
electric vehicles increases, so does the demand for recycling to recover
valuable active materials as secondary resources, reducing the need for
primary raw materials and minimizing supply dependencies. In addition to
pyro- and hydrometallurgy recycling processes, an increasingly examined
approach is the direct recycling route, which involves disassembling
battery systems into modules, modules to cells, and ultimately cells to
electrodes. To minimize passive materials such as various metals from
the housing, joints, arresters, plastics, foams, and adhesives in the
subsequent crushed mass, the introduction of module disassembly
processes into the existing LIB recycling process chain is promising for
the resulting increase in recyclate purity. This study presents the
conceptualization of a LIB module disassembly process chain which aims
to elevate the depth of disassembly of LIB during early recycling
stages. A reverse engineering approach is used to recover individual
cells from two battery modules of one specific automotive manufacturer
by removing their casing through milling and disconnecting the cells
from the arresters. The experimental results are analyzed for influences
on the disassembly possibilities for individual components as well as
the interactions within the system, enabling the elaboration of a
priority graph and a disassembly plan. In order to allow for scalable
recycling process chains suitable for very high quantities, a concept
for a fully automated and variant-compatible robot application based on
the experiment is derived. Furthermore, the depth of disassembly is
compared with the corresponding reduction of passive materials in the
crushed mass. The findings indicate that several module components can
be disassembled, resulting in cell recovery and a reduction of metal and
plastic in the crushed mass by about 17 %, highlighting the importance
of robotic disassembly in enhancing material separation efficiency
during LIB recycling.
La Habana - Playa

Published: May 2024

Playa is a large strategic municipality located on the west coast of the Havana metropolitan area. Its cultural richness is surprisingly wide and varied as confirmed by this volume, which aims to define a useful tool to contribute to its conservation and enhancement. The Atlas here presented intends to highlight the components of the territorial heritage of the municipality in terms of resources and potentiality, with the purpose of stimulating and consolidating the community's awareness of the richness of its territory, recognising and giving value to its identity. In this research the territory is considered as a living, complex organism, in continuous transformation, made up of tangible and intangible components, strongly interconnected with each other. This is the reason why the work of surveying has gone beyond the acknowledged heritage, bringing to light the elements generally considered minor, sometimes hidden, those in which in fact the local community often recognizes itself and its values. The methodology is based on a process of in-depth study and analysis of the area which, through exhaustive fieldwork, leads to a cataloguing of all the heritage elements, articulated by type and located on maps. This work, developed thanks to the commitment of a team of Italian and Cubanexperts, is focused on the idea that the local culture, in all its aspects, is a fundamental resource for well-being and a key ingredient for an appropriate and shared sustainable development.
Herstel van eetproblemen (anorexia). Op weg naar verantwoorde ambulante zorg: ‘zoveel thuis als mogelijk’
Authors: van der Helm Peer
Published: May 2024

Eetproblemen (anorexia) zijn een potentieel dodelijke ontregeling met beperkte herstelkansen. Het brengt gezinnen enorm veel verdriet, wanhoop en moedeloosheid. Dat kan beter, door anders te kijken naar oorzaak en behandelmethoden. Volgens veel recent onderzoek zijn de huidige behandelmethoden niet effectief genoeg, blijft de onderliggende problematiek onopgelost en woekert de anorexia door. Sterker nog de dwangvoeding werkt vaak traumatiserend. In dit boek pleit de auteur voor een radicaal andere aanpak, waarbij motiverende basisbehoeften van de zgn. Zelfdeterminatietheorie voorop staan, dat wil zeggen: verbondenheid (met familie en vrienden), competentie (naar school of opleiding) en autonomie. Vanwege de complexe ontstaanswijze heeft transdiagnostische (integrale) therapie de voorkeur. Zo blijkt uit onderzoek dat veel cliënten last hebben van (micro-)trauma en vaak ook hooggevoeligheid. Andere copingsvaardigheden kunnen daarom behulpzaam zijn. Dat kan in veel gevallen ook thuis, ambulant, of in ieder geval ‘zo thuis als mogelijk’. Dit boek is geschreven voor ouders en jongeren en een breed scala aan (aankomende) professionals: hulpverleners, kinderartsen en diëtisten, huisartsen en ondersteuners POH, coaches, sociotherapeuten, pedagogen en (toegepast) psychologen, jeugdbeschermers en kinderrechters, ervaringsdeskundigen en opleiders van psychosociale hulphonden Professor doctor G.H.P van der Helm is lector residentiële jeugdzorg aan de hogeschool Leiden en bijzonder hoogleraar onderwijs en zorg aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam.

Published: May 2024

The objective of the study is to measure and rank the performance of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSECO) member countries for the different four years using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques widely used in performance measurement. This is the first study using CRITIC (Criteria Importance through Intercritera Correlation), COPRAS (Compress PRoportional ASssessment- Complex Relative Assessment) and Borda Count Methods to rank countries on basic energy indicators using MCDM. The CRITIC method was used to calculate the critical weights of the criteria established in the first stage of the three-stage work. It is an objective method of MCDM. The performance of BSECO member countries is ranked using the COPRAS method. The weights calculated in the second stage are used for the ranking. In the last stage, using the Borda count method, which is a data fusion technique, a single ranking was obtained by integrating the rankings obtained under different scenarios. According to this result, Albania was the first, Georgia was the second and Armenia was the third. The last place was taken by Türkiye. Thus, MCDM techniques can provide effective and comprehensive results in this kind of problems. It can be observed that the unbiased results are objective measures of the criteria used.

Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) pose significant public health challenges globally, particularly among adolescents. Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the awareness, knowledge, and preventive measures regarding STIs among teenage girls attending Iyoba College in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria. Method: A total of 303 participants, were included in the study. This research is a cross sectional study; a multivariable questionnaire was designed to provide answers to some questions and gather data from the respondents. Ethical approval was obtained from relevant health and education Ministries in Edo state, as well as the school management. Results: Mean age of participants was 16.1 years. Findings revealed that television (52.1%) and radio (31%) were the primary sources of STI information, with varying levels of awareness regarding transmission modes. Despite a generally high level of awareness, misconceptions persisted regarding transmission routes, with 37.6% attributing STI transmission to activities other than sexual intercourse. Among the participants, 12(4%) were found to be infected, primarily with STI, with hospital consultations being the main source of diagnosis (58.3%). Symptoms such as burning sensations during urination (75%) were commonly reported among infected individuals. Furthermore, a notable proportion (11.2%) believed STIs to be uncontrollable. Conclusion: The study underscores the need for comprehensive sex education within school curricula to enhance understanding and promote effective preventive measures among adolescent populations.

Published: May 2024

Ex vacuo pulmonary edema is a rare but potentially severe event with a mortality of 15-20%. We report the case of a patient who presented with ex vacuo pulmonary edema after drainage of a right pneumothorax. The pathophysiology of ex vacuo pulmonary edema is not yet clearly established, with mechanical and inflammatory factors (production of interleukin 8 and leukotriene B4) being the most incriminating. Certain factors, such as the duration and extent of pulmonary collapse and the speed of lung re-expansion after drainage, appear to favour the onset of ex vacuo edema, justifying certain precautionary measures. Curative treatment relies essentially on oxygenation and reduction of pleural aspiration pressures, but the best treatment is prevention.

Given that Social Work is immersed in public policies and social programs that are aimed at vulnerable, marginalized or excluded groups, it is necessary to analyze its commitment considering its relationship with management for the treatment of diseases and rehabilitation in institutions of the health sector. In this sense, the objective of this study was to establish the reliability and validity of an instrument that measures work commitment (22 items out of a total of 35) in the health sector. For this purpose, a non-probabilistic sample of 125 social work professionals with experience in the implementation of social programs and monitoring of institutional strategies for health promotion was used. Normality (kurtosis = 7.272), reliability (alpha = .673) and validity (KMO = .875; X 2 = 12.156; 11gl; p = .000) of the scale that measured work commitment were established. A reflective structural model was established in which commitment to the institution was positively related to work commitment (β = .91). The fit and residual indices corroborated the multidimensionality hypothesis of work commitment (GFI = .975; NFI = .975, CFI = .985, RMSEA = .009). In light of the findings put forward, the scope and limits of the study were discussed.

Published: May 2024

Upper limb dysfunction is a very common and severe problem in patients with central nervous system disorders. The restoration of arm and hand functions is one of the priority goals of medical rehabilitation in these patients. The development of new and effective rehabilitation technologies, implementation of a patient-centered approach, and objective assessment of rehabilitation outcomes require validated tools. This review aimed to introduce specialists to those tools that evaluate the rehabilitation outcomes based on the patient’s performance in standardized tasks (tests). Functional abilities of the upper extremities should be assessed based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The general concepts of these tests are discussed. Standard requirements for measurement tools (validity, reliability, and sensitivity) ensure the reliability of test results. The tests that focused on the hand and arm function are briefly described. Only tests that have good psychometric characteristics and are suitable for the monitoring of rehabilitation outcomes for patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury are also presented in the review. In conclusion, the choice of a specific test is based on the purpose and objectives of the study (clinical practice or scientific research), motor deficit peculiarities, and rehabilitation unit resources. However, new and validated tools that focus on the assessment of hand function abilities in patients with central nervous system disorders are needed.

Published: May 2024

To be communicatively competent, speaking and listening skill sare two of the four macro-skills to be given importance. However, teaching these two is highly neglected in Bangladeshi classrooms as there have been no initiatives to assess them although the prescribed textbooks English For Today: Classes Nine-Ten and English For Today: Classes Eleven-Twelve by the National Curriculum and Textbook Board, Bangladesh (NCTB) assign speaking and listening tasks to perform in CLT methodology, which Bangladesh introduced in 2001 (Rahman & Karim, 2015). This study investigates how much emphasis these two set books have given to the twoneglected skills i.e., speaking and listening by comparing the tasks assigned in the books. Also, this paper attempts to find out the classroom practices of these activities in reality. To achieve these aims, the books were evaluated following a textbook evaluation checklist. Five teachers teaching English in classes 9-10 and 11-12 were interviewed and 50 students in classes 9-10 and 11-12 were given questionnaires to know the actuality of classroom practices following the activities in the books. The study shows that the books have a range of listening and speaking activities though little exposure to speaking and listening activities is made in classrooms and there is no sufficient logistic support or motivation (i.e., central assessment) for the actualization of them.

A asma pediátrica é uma condição crônica que afeta as vias respiratórias das crianças, caracterizada por inflamação e estreitamento dos brônquios, resultando em episódios recorrentes de falta de ar, aperto no peito e tosse. É uma das doenças crônicas mais comuns na infância e pode ter um impacto significativo na qualidade de vida dos pacientes e suas famílias. A avaliação das internações pode ajudar a identificar subgrupos de crianças mais vulneráveis, como aquelas expostas a fatores de risco socioeconômicos e ambientais, possibilitando intervenções mais eficazes e equitativas. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi traçar o perfil epidemiológico detalhado das internações causadas por asma pediátrica no território brasileiro, no período de 2019 a 2023, com intuito de identificar flutuações na prevalência e populações mais vulneráveis para a prevenção e controle desta enfermidade. Este é um estudo de séries temporais, que usou dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) do DATASUS. Essa fonte abrangente oferece uma visão detalhada das internações causadas por asma pediátrica no Brasil. Através desse estudo, demostramos um aumento de 25% nas internações causadas por asma em crianças no Brasil, com o sudeste sendo responsável pela maioria das internações e custos hospitalares. Além disso, identificamos que crianças pardas, do sexo masculino, com idade entre 1 a 4 anos, foram as principais afetadas. Embora seja uma condição crônica comum na infância, a asma pode ser controlada com intervenções adequadas, melhorando substancialmente a qualidade de vida das crianças afetadas. A chave para o sucesso reside em um diagnóstico precoce, acesso a tratamentos eficazes e educação tanto para pacientes quanto para seus cuidadores sobre a importância da adesão ao tratamento e a identificação de gatilhos. Além disso, é fundamental abordar as desigualdades no acesso aos cuidados de saúde e implementar políticas que garantam um ambiente mais saudável para todas as crianças.

Digitalization and procurement in construction projects: An integrated BIM-based approach
Authors: Matos Bruno C. , Cruz Carlos O. , Branc Fernando B.
Published: May 2024

The procurement for construction works has been limited in recognizing and integrating the influence of digitalization, particularly through Building Information Modeling (BIM), and thereby capitalizing on its benefits. Hence, a comprehensive and practical framework, coupled with proper documentation, is vital for enhancing not only the effectiveness of BIM-based procurement processes but also ensuring a successful BIM implementation. Despite its significance, the literature remains scarce, particularly in addressing the integration of BIM-specific provisions with conventional construction procurement methods, within the constraints of public procurement. This research introduces a systematic approach for integrating BIM requirements into traditional tendering processes for construction works, applicable to both the public and private sectors, serving as a reference guide for contracting authorities. For this purpose, the following methodology was adopted: 1) conducting an extensive literature review; 2) carrying out interviews with construction experts to identify relevant procurement requirements within a BIM-specific environment; 3) developing a comprehensive BIM-integrated tendering framework, combined with the traditional processes and cross-referenced with recognized BIM standards and public procurement regulations, especially the ISO 19650 standards and the European Directive 2014/24/EU; 4) creating a model BIM specifications document (corresponding to the exchange information requirements), to be used by the contracting authority, according to the previously defined framework; 5) discussing the application and limitations of the proposed BIM-based procurement methodology, along with considerations for future research. In conclusion, to address current limitations, including the absence of BIM-specific procurement guidelines in related standards and regulations, this paper outlines a comprehensive solution for this problem, considering the traditional procurement workflow and documentation, namely the tender and specifications documents, with a particular emphasis on the latter, which includes the exchange information requirements (EIR) and shapes the competitive dynamics of the tendering process. While information from traditional 2D drawings usually takes precedence over that from BIM models, the author believes that a fully contractual BIM implementation and success depend on the opposite scenario.

Authors: Bocharova Maria , Terekhova Vera , Aniskina Tatyana
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the study is to determine the influence of a complex of domestically produced microbiological preparations on growth processes on the 39th, 67th and 95th days of cultivation, as well as to assess the influence of the complex on the production of biomass by plants, the yield and the chemical composition of cucumber fruits (Cucumis sativus L.). The study was carried out in winter industrial conditions during 2021–2022. Parthenocarpic cucumber hybrids Mewa F1 and Valigora F1 were chosen as objects of study. The preparation was added by adding it to the tank mixture at thirty-day intervals throughout the entire growing period. Biometric measurements were recorded weekly. As a result of research, a positive stimulating effect of a complex of microbiological preparations on the processes of growth and development was revealed; the use of a complex of biological preparations made it possible to reduce the time for hybrids to enter the fruiting phase by an average of 2–3 days, enhanced the accumulation of biomass by hybrids and contributed to an increase in the yield and quality of the resulting crop. A comparative analysis of growth processes and yields of cucumber hybrids Mewa F1 and Valigora F1 when using root fertilizing with a complex of biological products showed greater efficiency from their use. When using biological products, a positive effect was noted on the growth and development of cucumber plants, as well as on an increase in leaf blade and leaf surface area (LSA). The dates of the onset of single and mass flowering of plants and single fruiting occurred earlier when using a complex of biological products by 1–5 days. When assessing the influence of a complex of biological products on the development of the photosynthetic apparatus, a positive effect of biological products on the area and leaf surface index on the 39th, 67th and 95th days of cultivation was established. In addition, a significant effect of the complex on increasing productivity per m2 per revolution was revealed. In the studies conducted, the increase in yield occurred due to an increase in the mass and diameter of the fruit. The complex of preparations had virtually no effect on the overall height of plants and weekly growth. A comparative analysis of growth processes and yields of cucumber hybrids Mewa F1 and Valigora F1 when using root fertilizing with a complex of biological products showed greater efficiency from their use.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of using a new feed additive on the zootechnical parameters of broiler chickens. Objectives: to determine the increase in live weight of poultry, safety and payment for feed products. In the conditions of the vivarium of the Krasnodar Scientific Center for Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, an experiment was conducted on feeding broiler chickens according to standard methods on two groups of Arbor Acres cross broiler chickens (n = 40) from 7 days to 40 days of age. The first (control) group of poultry received complete feed without additives. The poultryof the second (experimental) group were given a feed additive (FA) based on modified brewer's grains in the amount of 1.5 % by weight of the finished feed. At the end of the experiment, the live weight of the poultry in the experimental group was higher than the control at a trend level of 2.4 % relative to the control. In the first 14 days of cultivation, the gross gain in live weight of poultry in the experimental group increased significantly by 3.7 % (p < 0.05) relative to the control value. Over the entire period of the experiment, this indicator was higher in the experimental group by 2.6 % compared to the control at the trend level. Feed costs per 1 kg of live weight gain in broiler chickens decreased in the experimental group by 1.3 % compared to the control. Safety in the experimental group exceeded the control by 2.5 %. Thus, the use of a feed additive based on modified brewer's grains has a positive effect on the main zootechnical indicators.

Let $\chi(\mathbb{E}^n)$ denote the chromatic number of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^n$, i.e., the smallest number of colors that can be used to color $\mathbb{E}^n$ so that no two points unit distance apart are of the same color. We present explicit constructions of colorings of $\mathbb{E}^n$ based on sublattice coloring schemes that establish the following new bounds: $\chi(\mathbb{E}^5)\le 140$, $\chi(\mathbb{E}^n)\le 7^{n/2}$ for $n\in\{6,8,24\}$, $\chi(\mathbb{E}^7)\le 1372$, $\chi(\mathbb{E}^{9})\leq 17253$, and $\chi(\mathbb{E}^n)\le 3^n$ for all $n\le 38$ and $n\in\{48,49\}$.

The Effect of Organizational Culture on Sport Organization’s Performance in Oman: The Mediating Role of Leadership Style
Authors: Al Balushi Isehaq Ahmed Abdullah , Muslim Noor Awanis , Khudari Mohamed
Published: May 2024

This study aims to look at the impact of organizational culture (OC) on sports organizational performance (OP) in Oman, which specializes in leadership style (LS). The conceptual version defines OC as the independent variable (IV), leadership style as a mediating variable (MV), and OP as the dependent variable (DV). A survey questionnaire was used to accumulate information from 156 human beings running in sports corporations in Oman. To check the proposed speculation, the gathered data were analyzed with the use of Smart-PLS. The results suggest a significant relationship between organizational culture and performance. Researchers discovered that leadership style plays a crucially major role, which has a significant impact on the relationship between OC and OP. These findings provide valuable insights for sports organizations in Oman, suggesting that high levels of organizational culture can enable efficiency and goal attainment in addition to research recommending leadership styles that drive organizational performance of the face. The results of this study serve as a basis for managers to improve their existing OC and improve OP. In addition, it contributes to the existing literature on how effective organizational culture and leadership style are in enhancing organizational performance, especially in sports organizations in Oman. The study also highlights the mediating role of leadership style in relationships as it highlights the gap between OC and OP.
The differential impact of face distractors on visual working memory across encoding and delay stages

Published: May 2024

External distractions often occur when information must be retained in visual working memory (VWM)—a crucial element in cognitive processing and everyday activities. However, the distraction effects can differ if they occur during the encoding rather than the delay stages. Previous research on these effects used simple stimuli (e.g., color and orientation) rather than considering distractions caused by real-world stimuli on VWM. In the present study, participants performed a facial VWM task under different distraction conditions across the encoding and delay stages to elucidate the mechanisms of distraction resistance in the context of complex real-world stimuli. VWM performance was significantly impaired by delay-stage but not encoding-stage distractors (Experiment 1). In addition, the delay distraction effect arose primarily due to the absence of distractor process at the encoding stage rather than the presence of a distractor during the delay stage (Experiment 2). Finally, the impairment in the delay-distraction condition was not due to the abrupt appearance of distractors (Experiment 3). Taken together, these findings indicate that the processing mechanisms previously established for resisting distractions in VWM using simple stimuli can be extended to more complex real-world stimuli, such as faces.

Taxonomic composition, some structural and functional zooplankton characteristics of Lake Sisyarvi and Lake Leschovoye were analysed for the period of 2020–2021. In spite of close location of the lakes and their connection through the channels system differences in dominant species were discovered. In contrast to Lake Sisyarvi great variability in the zooplankton abundance and biomass in Lake Leschovoye was recorded as well as low values of the zooplankter individual mass. Comparative evaluation of the lakes trophic status was given.

The long-term time course of photosynthetic activity in arboreal trees of aspen Populus tremula L. and birch Betula pendula Roth species native for Kola Subarctic was observed through 2014–2017 yr vegetation seasons in terms of PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulated) foliage chlorophyll fluorescence measurements in situ. The temporal pair- wise correlation chlorophyll fluorescence pattern between any leaf blades couple for the whole any single crone as well as for proximate tree crones was found. The abrupt temperature drops and other environmental changes promote transition to blades coherence, the most synchronicity between trees was observed in 2014th fall. The global synchronization between any leaf couple was often preceded by transition of the foliar blades photosynthetic activity in common coherent quasi-cyclic rhythm. It is suggested that mutual crone’s intra and inter temporal organization and cooperative assimilation promote resistance and optimal realization of adaptive species potential.

The article presents the results of a study of the processes of lipid peroxidation – antioxidant protection in girls and women, representatives of Caucasians and Mongoloids suffering from type 1 diabetes. It has been shown that in the presence of type 1 diabetes mellitus, Mongoloid girls and women have a lower intensity of lipoperoxidation processes and a higher activity of the antioxidant system compared to Caucasian girls and women. The revealed ethnic differences in metabolism in type 1 diabetes suggest the manifestation of adaptive capabilities in the indigenous population of Siberia (Mongoloids) and the development of disadaptation in the alien population (Caucasians).

Türkiye’de Yayıncılığın Tarihsel Gelişimi: Matbuattan Medyaya, Devlet Tekelinden Özel Yayıncılığa Kısa Bir Bakış
Authors: Taşcıoğlu Raci
Published: May 2024

Türkiye’de yayıncılığın başlangıcı Osmanlı Dönemi’ne dayanır ve matbaacılık hareketi milat olarak kabul edilir. Osmanlı’da matbaacılık hareketinin iki farklı seyri olduğu ve bunlardan ilkinin Hilmi Ziya Ülken’e göre azınlıklar yani gayrimüslim tebaa tarafından başlatıldığı ifade edilir. Gutenberg matbaasından sonraki elli yıllık süreçte Avrupa’nın önemli finans ve ticaret kentlerinde matbaacılık yaygınlaşırken eş zamanlı olarak 1490’ların ilk yıllarında İspanya’dan Osmanlı’ya sığınan Yahudiler ilk matbaayı kurmuş, sonrasında yaklaşık yüz elli yıllık zaman diliminde ise Ermeni ve Rum matbaaları onu takip etmiştir.
