Background: Removal of the root canal filling material in the course of the endodontic retreatment is achieved by the use of various instruments and techniques. Purpose: The aim of this article is to systematically analyze published in vitro investigations over a five-year period of time (2018-2022), assessing the efficacy of the XP-Endo Finisher R file as a supplementary approach in orthograde endodontic retreatment. Materials and methods: The literature data was acquired through PubMed - MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library and Science Direct database and hand web search, then the articles were assessed by three independent reviewers. Results: An overall number of eighteen papers out of 108 titles met the eligibility criteria and were finally chosen for quantitative synthesis. Most of the studies affirmed the effectiveness of XP-Endo Finisher R by means of microcomputed tomography. Shaping with the file is not able to guarantee root canal walls free of remnants. Conclusions: XP-Endo Finisher-R is an effective supplementary approach in endodontic retreatment procedures. Nonetheless, it is rarely reported to achieve the complete removal of the root canal filling material. Micro-CT is a reliable, non-invasive analytical tool that can accurately measure the volume and the percentage of the remaining root canal fillings.

Este livro pode funcionar como uma sequência, ou melhor, uma expansão de outra publicação prévia: Role-Playing Game: práticas, ressignificações e potencialidades. Devido ao sucesso de recepção desse e-book, nossa ideia inicial foi organizar outro livro que continuasse a abranger estudos ligados aos RPGs, dos mais tradicionais aos mais contemporâneos. Com novos textos, novas inspirações surgiriam. No entanto, visando ampliar ainda mais o leque do que pretendíamos oferecer ao leitor, decidimos por incluir outras possibilidades. Assim surgiu a ideia das Narrativas interativas contemporâneas, englobando estudos sobre multimodalidade e interatividade, não necessariamente presas ao RPG. O leitor continua, aqui, a se deparar com temas e abordagens variadas, publicados por autores ligados ao que se pretende desenvolver neste espaço. Acreditamos, assim, que novos textos, explorações e ideias são capazes de alimentar ainda mais a pesquisa em áreas relativamente novas. Ao passo que buscamos inovar, na medida do possível, temos em mente que os campos permanecem tão vastos quanto um jogo no estilo sandbox. Um dos segredos para explorá-los é, justamente, a criatividade.

The image companding is a simple image compression technique which is very easy to be implemented in the bandwidth-limited environment. This paper presents a simple way for improving the quality of decompressed image in the image companding task. The proposed method consists of two networks, namely Sub-band Network (SubNet) and Pixel Network (PixNet), for performing an image reconstruction. The SubNet module exploits the effectiveness of Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in order to recover the lost information in the wavelet sub-bands basis. Whilst, the PixNet part applies CNN with identity mapping to improve the quality of initial reconstructed image obtained from the SubNet module. As reported in this paper, the proposed method outperforms the former existing schemes in the image companding task. It has also been proven that the proposed method is able to improve the quality of reconstructed image with some simple steps.

 
LighterKGCN: A Recommender System Model based on Bi-layer Graph Convolutional Networks
Authors: 陳鵬 陳鵬 , Peng Chen Jiancheng Zhao , Jiancheng Zhao Xiaosheng Yu
Published: May 2022

Recommender systems have been extensively utilized to meet users’ personalized needs. Collaborative filtering is one of the most classic algorithms in the recommendation field. However, it has problems such as cold start and data sparsity. In that case, knowledge graphs and graph convolutional networks have been introduced by scholars into recommender systems to solve the above problems. However, the current graph convolutional networks fail to give full play to the advantages of graph convolution since they are employed either in the embedding representations of users and commodity entities, or in the embedding representations between entities of the knowledge graphs. Therefore, LighterKGCN, a recommender system model based on bi-layer graph convolutional networks was proposed in accordance with the KGCN model and the LightGCN model. In the first layer of GCN, the model first learned the embedding representations of users and commodity entities on the user-commodity entity interaction graph. Then, the attained user embedding and commodity embedding were used as the data source for the second layer of GCN. In the second layer, the entity v and its neighborhoods were calculated using the hybrid aggregation function proposed in this paper. The result was taken as the new entity v. According to tests on three public datasets and comparison results with the KGCN, LighterKGCN improved by 0.52% and 51.16% in terms of AUC and F1 performances, respectively on the dataset of MovieLens-20M; LighterKGCN improved by 0.67% and 45.0% in terms of AUC and F1 performances, respectively on the dataset of Yelp2018; and the number was 0.67% and 36.35% in AUC and F1 performances, respectively on the dataset of Last.FM.

ETHICAL FORMS OF COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR AS A WAY OF CONFRONTING THE SPIRITUAL AND MORAL PANDEMIC OF HUMAN DEHUMANIZATION
Authors: Хараева Леорена Ахметовна , Джандар Бетти Махмудовна
Published: May 2022

Рассматривается проблема этических форм коллективного и индивидуального поведения на фоне опасной гуманитарной ситуации, связанной с негативными тенденциями дезинтеграции и обособления, которые имеют место в современном обществе в широком масштабе. Эти тенденции несут в себе угрозу подрыва самих основ стабильности и равновесия в социальных взаимоотношениях людей и общества в целом. Соответственно нашей актуальной и неотложной задачей на данном этапе является развитие тех форм коллективного и индивидуального этического поведения, которые отвечают идее интеграции и единения людей. Авторы показывают, что идея интеграции, неразрывно связанная с такими понятиями, как «культура», «этика, «нравственность», «гуманизм», направлена на развитие и совершенствование людей и общества. В статье затрагиваются различные формы коллективного и индивидуального этического поведения, включая формы ритуального поведения, которые будут способствовать противостоянию разрушительным природным и социальным силам и выживанию гуманного сообщества людей.

The paper deals with the problem of ethical forms of collective and individual behavior against the background of a dangerous humanitarian situation associated with negative trends of disintegration and separation, which take place in modern society on a wide scale. These trends threaten to undermine the very foundations of stability and balance in the social relations of people and society as a whole. Accordingly, our urgent task at this stage is to develop those forms of collective and individual ethical behavior that are consistent with the idea of integration and togetherness of people. The authors show that the idea of integration, inextricably connected with such concepts as "culture", "ethics", "morality", "humanism" is aimed at the development and improvement of people and society. The paper addresses various forms of collective and individual ethical behavior, including forms of ritual behavior that will contribute to opposing destructive natural and social forces and the survival of a humane community of people.

Strategies to Improve the Use of Live Synchronous Meetings in Blended, Remote, and Online Courses
Authors: Lowenthal Patrick R. , Johnson Mickinzie
Published: May 2022

Distance education over the years has been defined by the ability of students to learn at any time, from anywhere. Thus, it is not surprising that most online courses rely solely on asynchronous text-based online communication, such as email and discussion forums. However, the COVID- 19 pandemic and the rise of emergency remote teaching have sparked an increased interest in using web conferencing software (e.g., Zoom, WebEx, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams) to hold live synchronous meetings, often on a set day and time each week, instead of asynchronous discussions. But as convenient as it can be to move classroom instruction to live synchronous meetings, instructors and students have quickly experienced some drawbacks to using this mode of instruction. Given this problem, we set out to curate a list of strategies to improve the use of live synchronous meetings based on the literature and our combined experience designing and teaching online over the years. In this paper, we describe some affordances and constraints of live synchronous meetings and then describe some strategies that instructors can use to improve their use of these meetings, whether that be in a blended, remote, or online course.

In the next ten years, the Baltic countries ― Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania ― are planning large investments in renewable power generation and transfer capacity, substantial phase-out of fossil-based power generation, and desynchronization from the Russian electricity grid. In this article, the operational impacts of these changes on the Baltic energy system from 2017 to 2030 are studied with an open-source Backbone energy system model. The operation of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian power and heat, transport, and building sectors are optimized simultaneously on an hourly level, and results are analysed with operational, environmental, economic, and security indicators.
 
Results suggest that the planned transition would support Baltic targets in renewable generation (from 45% to 92%) and self-reliance (2.3 TWh increase in domestic power generation and 5.5 TWh decrease in natural gas imports) with a moderate impact on system costs. However, an increase in transport CO2 emissions could risk national non-ETS targets. The hourly operation of the system, with a high share of wind and solar, is based on active use of storages and interconnectors. Model results raise concerns about the amount of Estonian dispatchable capacity, the commercial feasibility of Latvian natural gas CHP’s, and the high ramping rates of Lithuanian interconnectors.

A focus area of this issue is district heating and district cooling systems, with articles addressing resources for district heating and cooling systems, impacts of having individual district heating metres for consumers and approaches to analysing district heating systems. Another focus area is stakeholder involvement where two groups of researchers focus on stakeholders from an energy island perspective as well as from a positive energy district perspective. Both groups note the importance of factoring in stakeholders when devising transition plans. Plans for increasing the penetration of renewable energy sources for the Estonian, Latvia and Lithuanian systems are analysed using the Backbone model, finding modest increases in system costs. Lastly, an article sets up an indicator system for assessing environmental performance of European Union member states ranking, e.g., Estonian, Latvia and Lithuanian as moderate (Estonia and Latvia) to weak (Lithuania) in terms of sustainable energy performance score, based on 2019 data.

Introduction: In higher education, the consumption of stimulant substances such as coffee is increasing intensely due to the high demand of concentration and disposition of individuals. This occurs mainly among medical students. Objective: It was to quantify and analyze caffeine intake and its effects on medical students at the Faculty of Medicine of Catanduva, Centro Universitário Padre Albino (UNIFIPA). Methods: This study followed a prospective observational cross-sectional model, following the rules of clinical research of the STROBE. Data collection took place from June 2019, through an objective questionnaire and self-application, which was answered by students from the first to the sixth year of FAMECA who were interested in answering and contributing to the research, which had as objective to quantify and analyze the use of caffeine, in addition to its motivations and side effects on the physiology of these students. This study was analyzed and approved by the Research Ethics Committee according to a substantiated opinion number 5,347,594, and obtaining the Informed Consent Form. For data analysis, a common descriptive analysis was performed, obtaining the values of total N, and statistical percentage (%) for all predictors. The One-Way test (ANOVA) was applied, adopting the α level lower than 0.05, with a statistically significant difference for the 95% CI. Results and Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that a very large number of university students ingest caffeine. Most of the students started consumption in the pre-college course and in college, with the aim of compensating for sleep, because they like the taste of energy drinks and improve academic performance, due to the intense routine due to the high workload requires greater attention, in order to to meet the demand for studies. Most students consume moderately caffeine, which is not harmful to health. However, a minority ingest excessive amounts of substances that contain caffeine and side effects are noted. Among these, the ones that stood out were stomach problems, anxiety and tachycardia. Thus, even representing the minority, it is of fundamental importance to carry out more studies on this topic. With this, it will be possible to provide more information to the population so that it is able to assess the impacts of the use of stimulants in clinical practice, in order to minimize possible adverse effects. Finally, the population will be able to use caffeine properly, according to the recommended dose, avoiding major health problems.

Published: May 2022

Relevance is one of the qualitative qualities of financial statements. If financial statements are submitted on time, they can be considered relevant. Audit report lag is closely related to timely report submission. It can increase the efficiency and quality of financial reports and enable users to rely on financial statement information when making judgments. The amount of enterprises still filing financial reports late demonstrates that punctuality remains a serious hurdle for Indonesian businesses. In contrast to earlier research, this study examines all manufacturing businesses listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2015 and 2019 using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis and Moderated Regression Analysis. The results of the study indicate that tenure audit has a significant impact on audit report lag, that the size of a public accounting firm has no significant impact on audit report lag, and that auditor industry specialization significantly moderates the impact of tenure audit and the scope of general accounting firm on audit report lag.

Due to the fact that nanostructures have very high-performance capabilities in various scientific and industrial fields, during the last few years these nanostructures have become available for production in order to produce particulate matter with appropriate composition and distribution. One of the focal points of the current study is the exploration of a number of different researches carried in the field. Considering that the method of electro crystallization compared to other methods available for the production of nanostructures is relatively new, this study gives a brief overview of the effective methods of electro crystallization and the effective parameters in the production of nanostructures produced at high speed, the integrity of materials and the sustainability of particles produced, the diversity in production, low cost and simple use of equipment. The findings of the study are presented that explore the effective parameters in the production of nanostructures, the voltage applied, the time it takes, the concentration of electrolyte and the temperature. The findings further show that the factors of change in voltage and oxidation has the greatest effect on the morphology and particle size. Moreover, the increase in voltage is due to the rapid increase in the speed that leads to the production of resistive crystalline sediments.

De ventielfunctie van de artikel 12 Sv-procedure: van georganiseerd wantrouwen naar gezamenlijk politiek project?

Originally, Article 12 of the Dutch Code of Criminal Procedure was intended as a correction mechanism for the prosecution monopoly of the Public Prosecution Service. In a later stage, the private interest of complainants (or victims) became more central. This article argues that a third function now emerges: a valve function for social dissatisfaction. The social conflicts that underly the proceedings in these socially sensitive cases give rise to new democratic legitimacy problems. However, an appropriate normative framework that captures these new democratic demands has not yet been constructed. To this end, this article provides an alternative democratic vocabulary in order to bridge the gap between empirical and normative notions of legitimacy. By means of a historical and normative analysis, it will be argued that Article 12 has an important democratic potential within the characteristically autonomous Dutch system of criminal law.

The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of a long-term professional development (PD) program on the classroom practices of physics teachers. Changes in teachers’ practices were investigated across four dimensions: content, teaching strategy, materials/technology, and assessment. The present study used qualitative research methodology, including a case study research. Data were collected from seven participating teachers and their 9th grade students. The PD model framework has four main components: analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. A teacher survey, an observation form, a student group-interview protocol, treatment-fidelity and treatment-verification opinion forms were developed as measuring instruments. Thematic coding was used in every dimension. The data were evaluated using a frequency analysis and displayed in tables. The results showed that the PD program had a positive effect on teachers’ classroom practices. The more the teachers participated in each dimension of the PD program, the greater the level of positive change observed in the teachers’ lesson applications. When the results were examined in relation to teaching strategies, materials/technologies, and assessment techniques used for various purposes, there was a clear increase in the number, variety, and quality of strategies, materials, and technologies used in these dimensions.

The development of information technology is currently growing rapidly, where almost all have used and developed information systems in such a way that they are able to advance and develop their business well. The existence of a good information system will produce information according to needs. Good information is information that can be presented in a timely manner, useful and reliable. One of the important information systems in an institution or agency is the Accounting Information System. Along with the increasingly rapid development, the use of computers plays an important role in various fields that support each other in aspects of life. This includes financial data and information processing systems that cannot be separated from everyday life. Because without a financial data and information processing system, activities within an organization, company or agency will not run smoothly as expected, both in terms of time and accuracy and speed of the resulting performance. This becomes an obstacle to the activities and implementation of existing activities in an organization, company or agency. Recording cash flows using books is considered less effective in terms of time and accuracy. Recording that must be done many times sometimes causes some errors so that there is often a difference between the real balance and the cash book.
