Published: November 2022

Günümüzde görsel ve estetik önemin artması, ayrıca sosyal medya etkisinin ortaya çıkması ile birlikte diş beyazlatma işlemleri hastaların en çok ilgi duydukları dental estetik tedavilerden biri haline gelmiş ve son on yılda hastaların diş beyazlatma tedavisine olan talepleri ciddi bir artış göstermiştir. Bunun yanı sıra dişlerdeki renklenmeler estetik kaygıyla birlikte psikolojik ve sosyal problemlere de neden olabilmektedir. Daha beyaz dişlere sahip olmanın hastalar için öneminin artması, yıllar içinde beyazlatma ajanları ve prosedürlerinin sayısında inanılmaz bir artışa neden olmuştur. Bu ajanlar, diş macunları, gargaralar, jeller, bantlar, beyazlatıcı ajan içeren fırçalar ve cigletler gibi diş hekimi danışmanlığı olmaksızın kullanılan ev tipi ürünler olabildiği gibi profesyonel olarak diş hekimi tarafından klinikte uygulanan yüksek konsantrasyonlu ofis tipi beyazlatma ajanlarıdır. Beyazlatma tedavisinin seçimi, diş renklenmesinin tipine, lokasyonuna ve yoğunluğuna göre değişiklik göstermektedir. Diş hekimleri, beyazlatma tedavisi arayışında olan hastaları, günümüzde popülaritesi oldukça artış gösteren bu ürünler hakkında doğru bir şekilde bilgilendirmeli, oral ve sistemik sağlık sınırları içinde en yüksek beyazlatmayı sağlayabilmelidirler. Diş renklenmeleri genel olarak iç kaynaklı ve dış kaynaklı renklenmeler olarak sınıflara ayrılabilir. Renklenmenin nedenini bilmek diş hekiminin beyazlatma tekniğini planlamasına ve tedavinin sonuçlarını tahmin etmesine yardımcı olur. Böylece bu derlemenin amacı, diş renklenmelerinin nedenlerini değerlendirerek, güncel tedavi seçenekleri için uygulanan materyal ve yöntemlerin kısa bir tasvirini sağlamaktır.

The material composition of sludge deposits from titanium-magnesium production was studied by chemical, X-ray, and microprobe analysis methods. Studies of the phase composition of the collector sludge showed that niobium is mainly bound with aluminum and titanium in oxide compounds. The particles of these compounds are very small and surrounded by the clay and carbonate component of the sludge collector. The chemical and mechanical activation processes of the sludge from the titanium-magnesium production sludge collector were executed based on the data obtained on the material composition. Alkaline leaching of sludge from sludge collector after preliminary activation was executed. The optimum conditions for the niobium extraction from the sludge of the sludge dump from the titanium-magnesium production were determined: sodium hydroxide concentration of 200 g/dm3, glycerol 5 g/dm3, S:L = 1:10, temperature 95 °C, leaching process duration - 4 hours. The addition of glycerol during alkaline leaching of sludge inhibits the transition of hexaniobate into insoluble sodium metaniobate enabling to increase the niobium extraction by 1.3 times with transfer into the solution of up to 80% of the extracted metal.

As known, the main methods of developing solid minerals are open and underground methods. However, an analysis of the world’s practice of developing deposits of solid minerals also indicates the widespread use of the combined method of development in the last 50-60 years. Combined development of deposits at domestic and foreign mining enterprises is used due to the variable depth of deposits, which is typical mainly for deposits of steep and inclined fall. The essence of the combined development is that the upper horizons are developed in an open way, and the lower ones are developed underground. In such deposits, the following scheme has become widespread: the initial development of the upper section of the deposit by a shallow quarry (up to a depth of 80-100 m, sometimes more), then the construction of an underground mine, carried out in parallel with the completion of the quarry reserves. When opening sub-quarry reserves subject to underground mining, the resulting quarry space can be used. The penetration of vertical and inclined opening workings, tunnels, and exits from the berm sides or directly from the bottom of the quarry has become widespread. In parallel mining of reserves by open and underground methods, the joint use of transport workings is widely used for the delivery of ore mass from the quarry and underground mine, the placement of an underground crushing complex, auxiliary, and repair facilities in the quarry itself. In addition, the method of refining sub-quarry reserves with the opening of the underground part outside the quarry space has been widely used. After the end of open-pit mining, underground horizons are opened by capital mining workings (vertical, inclined shafts, tunnels).
Anchor bolt of rock massif in coal mines to decrease soil rock heaving of the workings
Authors:   Abylkas Saginov Karaganda Technical University, Demin V.F. , Zhurov V. ,   Abylkas Saginov Karaganda Technical University
Published: November 2022

During the maintenance of workings, the effects of soil rock heaving, caused by plastic deformation and extrusion into the excavation cavity under the action of the rock pressure, are usually eliminated. The identified patterns of change in the stress-strain state of coal-rock massifs (displacements, stresses, cracking zones), depending on the main mining-geological and mining-technical factors will allow to establish the optimal parameters of soil anchoring, technological schemes for decreasing soil rock heaving of mine workings to increase the stability of preparatory mine workings have been developed. The development and improvement of existing technologies of effective and safe stiffening of near-soil rocks at conducting mine workings on flat and inclined coal seams were substantiated. The modelling of the SSS shows that both side-rock and ground deformations are predominantly influenced by side anchorage which results in reduction of the effective deformations in the rocks surrounding the working and in a decrease of gas release from the coal massif. It is established that the deformations and stresses both side and in-soil rocks in the excavation are influenced by side anchors rather than near-soil ones.

The article provides a brief overview of the problems of copper production in Kazakhstan. It is shown that the main current problem of copper-smelting production is the involvement of low-grade ores of complex mineral composition. Existing technologies are focused on the processing of ore with higher copper content, accordingly, it is necessary to adjust the existing enrichment and smelting technologies. To determine the mineral composition of some samples of promising copper-bearing ores of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an X-ray phase analysis was carried out. The identification and quantitative calculation of the mineral content were carried out using the DIFFRAC.EVA and DIFFRAC.TOPAS programs. It was shown that the main copper-bearing minerals in the samples are: chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcosiderite - group 1; malachite, lapis lazuli, atacamite, pseudomalachite, brochantite - group 2. The waste rock is represented by the following minerals: quartz, muscovite (mica), chlorite (layered silicate), albite (feldspar), pyrite, calcite, sodalite (feldspathoid), and gypsum. Based on the analysis, the mineral composition of the studied samples was established and a conclusion was made about the dominant nature of the ore. It is shown that in three samples the predominant nature of the ore is sulfide, in one sample it is oxide. The obtained results of the mineral composition and nature of the ore allow us to make practical recommendations on the most effective scheme for ore enrichment and further processing.
An emic perspective on silence: Experiences of an adult Mexican migrant in the U.S. social setting
Authors: Turnbull John
Published: November 2022

This qualitative case study explores the personal experience of Daniela, a Spanish-speaking adult immigrant from Mexico, who lived and worked in the United States, as she navigates her ways through an everyday social context distinct from her own cultural origin. The article presents Daniela’s view on the silent practice of herself and others whereby her perception takes shape through a process of constant adaptation and struggle with challenges such as anxiety, separation due to language, and ways of communicating. Amidst all these emerges the question of language choice as Daniela moves between English and Spanish for contextual reasons that unpredictably reproduce various degrees of social isolation, power disparity, and economic pressures. With insights from such anecdotal accounts, the discussion argues for the importance of comprehending silence by situating the topic in its immediate social circumstances rather than as a stand-alone construct; and eventually draws implications for second-language acquisition (SLA) in a real-world context.
Silence: A duoethnography
Authors: Karas Michael , Uchihara Takumi
Published: November 2022

Duoethnography is an emerging research methodology and tool for reflective practice in English language teaching (ELT). Duoethnography allows for people to become the sites of their own inquiry and investigate issues and phenomena of importance to them (Sawyer Norris, 2013). In duoethnography, participants engage in critical dialogue with one another as a way to challenge broader normative assumptions but also as a way to bring meaning to experiences and find solutions to immediate teaching issues. In this duoethnography, we examine the phenomenon of silence through our shared experiences as English language teachers and applied linguists but also from our diverging perspectives, cultures, and backgrounds. Data were gathered from online conversations, reflective notes, and memos between the two authors with emerging themes including 1) Shifting perspectives on silence, 2) Silence in the online classroom, and 3) Turn-taking and student/teacher discourse expectations. While specific to the authors, it is hoped that this duoethnography may resonate with readers and serve as a catalyst for further reflection on silence.

In the end, several gaps in silence research are highlighted to inspire scholars who wish to explore silence in more depth.
When the silence breaks a border on stage: A case study of a performance by the disabled dance and performance company the “Shizuoka No-Borders”
Authors: Takahashi Mana
Published: November 2022

This research examines the potential of silence to function as a social action and the significance of the use of silence in art and cultural activities by people with disabilities. While silence can be a powerful tool for social action and communication, the silence created by people with disabilities has different connotations. Such people occasionally have problems with communication and improvisation due to their disabilities, possibly leading to unintentional silence. This research analyses the artwork produced by the dance and performance company the “Shizuoka No-Borders,” whose membership includes people with disabilities. The principal research question is as follows: what messages does the silence created by performers with disabilities in their artwork convey to audiences? This research adopts a variety of approaches but primarily conducts qualitative analysis from an empirical perspective. By exploring the current situation of performers with disabilities in Japan as well as their tangible works and scenes featuring “making silence,” this research uses interviews with performers, choreographers, producers, and related stakeholders in Japan to analyse the impact of silence as social action and offer suggestions concerning the effectiveness of promoting diversity and inclusion in education via silence.
Non-verbal interaction in the early years: Case study of Mandarin learning in Australia
Authors: Liu Ranran , Di Martino Nadia
Published: November 2022

Traditionally, early years education is a voice-dominated discipline where scholars pay little attention to children’s natural non-verbal communication in second language acquisition (SLA) (Spyrou, 2016). In many cases, children silence is often perceived as a problem and is captured as selective mutism (see, for example, Bligh, 2014). This article looks at a case of child silence as positive communication rather than negative mutism, a topic which is rare in the research discourse of early childhood education. If the discourse does not refer to child silence as mutism, it would then focus on the customary notion of ‘the silent period’ (Roberts, 2014) rather than on cases of micro silence within naturally occurring social interactions. This is a gap in research on silence in children language learning that this work will address. Since little research has allied this topic with teacher education (Bao 2014), the authors hope to provide implications for teacher practice drawn from data on children’s non-verbal interactions during Mandarin learning.
An examination of blind mole-rat (Nannospalax xanthodon) brain, cerebellum, and spinal cord tissues: A histological and stereological study
Authors: İKİNCİ KELEŞ Ayşe , BİTERGE SÜT Burcu , KANKILIÇ Teoman
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to perform a histological examination of blind mole-rat (Nannospalax xanthodon) brain, cerebellum, and spinal cord tissues. Six blind mole-rats were caught in a natural environment, anesthetized with ether, and sacrificed. Brain, cerebellum, and spinal cord tissues were then removed. All tissues were kept in 10% formaldehyde for one week, at the end of which they were subjected to routine histological procedures and embedded in blocks. Five micron-thick sections were taken from the blocks (5 and 15 micron thick from spinal cord tissues). All sections were then stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Cresyl Violet, and DAPI. These sections were then evaluated under light and fluorescent microscopes.
The blind mole-rats weighed 201.3 ± 61 g, the brains and cerebella weighed 1.8 ± 0.3 mg and 0.32 ± 0.05 mg, respectively, and the brain, cerebellum, and spinal cord volumes were 1.49±0.46 ml, 0.33± 0.08 ml, and 2.53± 0.19 µm3, respectively. No histological variation was observed in the brain or cerebellum tissues. However, examination of the spinal cord tissue revealed differences compared to humans and other rodents. The spinal cord exhibited a segmented, lobulated appearance, each lobe itself exhibiting the characteristics of a small spinal cord. No butterfly appearance was observed, and white and gray matter transitions were irregular, with less white and more gray matter. The location of the anterior and posterior horns was unclear. The motor neuron cells were also small in size. No significant variations were observed at nuclear organization (DAPI signals) between any tissues.
In conclusion, the blind mole-rats were normal in weight, increased brain and cerebellum tissue weight and volumes were observed, while a decrease was determined in spinal cord tissue volumes. The brain and cerebellum were normal at histological examination, while structural differences were detected in the spinal cord.

Published: November 2022

This study was conducted to determine the relationship of computer games addiction, and class performance of Adventist Academy Iloilo Senior High School students in online classes enrolled in School Year 2021-2022. The study employed a descriptive-correlational analysis utilizing 16 student-respondents by answering a researchers-made Google form survey as the research instrument and measured using the following statistical tools: standard deviation, mean, and Pearson's r correlation coefficient. The inferential tests were set at 0.05 alpha level. The findings of the study showed that the level of computer games addiction of the respondents when taken as a whole is “average” and when grouped according to gender, the male is “high” and the female is  “low” ; their level of class performance when taken as a whole is “average” and when grouped according to gender, the male has “average” and the female has “high” level of class performance; and a significant relationship of computer games addiction, and class performance when taken as a whole and when grouped according to gender is noted. The correlation coefficient is negative meaning that if there is a higher level of computer games addiction, there will be a lower level of class performance. This study implies that learners are encouraged to control their time spent in playing computer games since it affects their class performance. Parents and teachers are asked to form a partnership and use different strategies to help in improving the students’ class performance.

Problems of juvenile criminal liability
Authors: Karabanova Elena N.
Published: November 2022

Despite many years of discussion by scientists and practitioners, the issue of juvenile criminal liability remains relevant today. In the criminal legislation of the Soviet period, the peculiarities of the criminal responsibility of minors were regulated not by an independent institution, but by separate norms of various institutions of Criminal Law (chapters on crime, on punishment, on sentencing and on release from punishment, on compulsory medical and educational measures). With the adoption in 1996 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the regulation of juvenile criminal liability changed both in form and in content, which led to the appearance in the criminal law doctrine of heated discussions concerning the validity of certain legislative decisions. They have not stopped to this day. The article examines the effectiveness of measures of criminal law impact on juvenile criminals, proves the need to reduce the age of criminal responsibility for certain types of crimes, as well as the need to expand the application of criminal penalties not related to imprisonment to adolescents.
The notions of “peoples”, “nations” and “mankind” in International Law
Authors: Vylegzhanin Alexander N.
Published: November 2022

Today the competition among states to promote their international legal policy is intensifying and there is evident need for convincing interpretation of the core notions provided in the UN Charter and other universal treaties, yet not defined in these instruments. In light of this political and legal background, the present article explores the international law scope of the terms “nation” and “people” and whether all states are considered as “nations” under the terms of the UN Charter. The authors also investigate the concept of “mankind” from the standpoint of the law of treaties concluding that such a concept is not legally identical to the term “international community of states”.

Auditory Biases in Cognitive Assessment: Insights from a Hearing-Loss Simulation for the Screening of Dementia due to Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Füllgrabe Christian
Published: November 2022

Cognitive-screening tests are used to detect pathological changes in mental abilities. Many use orally presented instructions and test items. Hence, hearing loss (HL), whose prevalence increases with age, may bias cognitive-test performance in the target population for the screening of dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. To study the effect of the auditory test format, an impairment-simulation approach was used in normal-hearing listeners to compare performance on the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test, a memory task employed in dementia screening and research, when test items were unprocessed and processed to simulate age-related HL. Immediate verbal recall declined with simulated HL, suggesting that auditory factors are confounding variables in cognitive assessment and result in the underestimation of cognitive functioning.

Background: People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) receive fewer guideline-concordant treatments for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than people with normal cognition (NC). Objective: To understand physician perspectives on why patients with MCI receive fewer CVD treatments than patients with NC. Methods: As part of a mixed-methods study assessing how patient MCI influences physicians’ decision making for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke treatments, we conducted a qualitative study using interviews of physicians. Topics included participants’ reactions to data that physicians recommend fewer CVD treatments to patients with MCI and reasons why participants think fewer CVD treatments may be recommended to this patient population. Results: Participants included 22 physicians (8 cardiologists, 7 neurologists, and 7 primary care physicians). Most found undertreatment of CVD in patients with MCI unreasonable, while some participants thought it could be considered reasonable. Participants postulated that other physicians might hold beliefs that could be reasons for undertreating CVD in patients with MCI. These beliefs fell into four main categories: 1) patients with MCI have worse prognoses than NC, 2) patients with MCI are at higher risk of treatment complications, 3) patients’ cognitive impairment might hinder their ability to consent or adhere to treatment, and 4) patients with MCI benefit less from treatments than NC. Conclusion: These findings suggest that most physicians do not think it is reasonable to recommend less CVD treatment to patients with MCI than to patients with NC. Improving physician understanding of MCI might help diminish disparities in CVD treatment among patients with MCI.

Published: November 2022

Background: Exposure to air pollution has been suggested to increase the risk of dementia, but studies on this link often lack a detailed screening for dementia and data on important confounders. Objective: To determine the association of exposure to air pollution with the risk of dementia and cognitive decline in the population-based Rotterdam Study. Methods: Between 2009 and 2010, we determined air pollutant concentrations at participants residential addresses using land use regression models. Determined air pollutants include particulate matter <10μm (PM10) and <2.5μm (PM2.5), a proxy of elemental carbon (PM2.5 absorbance), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). As the individual air pollutant levels were highly correlated (r = 0.71–0.98), we computed a general marker covering all air pollutants based on a principal component analysis. We followed participants up for dementia until 2018 and determined cognitive performance during two subsequent examination rounds. Using Cox and linear mixed models, we related air pollution to dementia and cognitive decline. Results: Of the 7,511 non-demented participants at baseline, 545 developed dementia during a median follow-up of 7 years. The general marker of all air pollutants was not associated with the risk of dementia (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.04 [0.95–1.15]), neither were the individual air pollutants. Also, the general marker of all air pollutants or the individual air pollutant levels were not associated with cognitive decline. Conclusion: In this study, we found no clear evidence for an association between exposure to air pollution and the risk of dementia or cognitive decline.
