Authors: Angiolani Francesca , Piattelli Maurizio , Rinaldi Fabiola , Trubiani Oriana , Varvara Giuseppe
Published: January 2024

In recent years, scientific literature has been focusing on the study of the Canalis Sinuosus (CS); this canal contains the anterior superior alveolar nerve (ASAN), together with bundles. Accordingly, the CS may vary its frequency and anatomical features. These variations can be identified through imaging technologies such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The aim of this mini review is to present the current understanding of the CS, its prevalence and localization in order to decrease the potential surgical risk associated with this region. As revealed by the analysis of the international literature available, presence of CS is a crucial factor to consider in implantology and generally in oral surgery procedures in this area. In conclusions the use and analysis of CBCT imaging in the diagnosis stage is fundamental to preserve the most important anatomical structures which are present in the jaws.

Authors: Rinaldi Fabiola , Piattelli Maurizio , Angiolani Francesca , Bernardi Sara , Rastelli Elena , Varvara Giuseppe
Published: January 2024

The evaluation of maxillary sinus volumes is fundamental for pre-surgical planning in this area, as well as for the diagnosis of sinusitis and the diagnosis and treatment of maxillary hypoplasia. This study aimed to assess changes in sinus volume over time as a function of different conditions, such as sex, orthodontic treatments like rapid palate expansion, and the presence of edentulism. The Cone-Beam Computed Tomographies of eighteen patients were selected, and their entire sinus volumes were segmented, enabling the measurement of the sinus volume in three spatial dimensions. The collected data were statistically analyzed using the T-Student test and ANOVA. The mean size of the measured right sinus volume was 14.42 cm³, and that of the left sinus was 14.17 cm³. No statistically significant difference was identified between the right and left maxillary sinus volumes, even in correlation with the considered factors (p-value > 0.05). The values found in the present study agreed with those in the literature, confirming the importance of radiographic evaluation of this structure for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Published: January 2024

Determination of Post Mortem Interval (PMI) has always been based on empirical analysis of microdata not always endowed with sufficient reliability. Due to its significancy in medico-legal issues, PMI estimation needs to be assessed by applying new and more reliable methods and/or biomarkers. Considering the growing interest and use of stem cells taken from cadaveric tissues and the success in their isolation from death donors, with the maintenance of vitality and regenerative capacity, we evaluated the Literature “state of the art” on this topic to understand if those stem cells could also be used for thanatochrologic estimation. The results obtained from Literature analysis show the possibility of using these cells as a marker for the post-mortal interval. In particular Mesenchymal Stem cells, isolated from adipose and muscular tissues, can be used to evaluate their regenerative capacity over time according to the PMI.
Is Brussels a ‘Care city’? A gender investigation on the effects of the public transportation system on carers’ lives
Authors: Marcigliano Agnese , Ragozino Stefania , Corsi Marcella
Published: January 2024

The aim of this paper is to explore the complex dynamics between issues of care, gender, and mobility, trying to reflect on the characteristics of an urban environment designed to meet the needs of women working in the care sector, regardless of their ethnicity, age, social status, physical condition, or sexual orientation and definition. By choosing the city of Brussels as an adequate case study we especially focus on the impact of the city’s mobility sector on the daily life of migrant female care workers, and of vulnerable groups more generally. This ongoing research is based on a theoretical framework (stemming from existing literature) from which we have extrapolated a set of parameters to structure the data collection (by interviews) and the theoretical and graphical elaborations. To address and respond to the multiple crises we are facing today, in our view it is crucial to call for a radical change in our urban design processes, directing our efforts toward implementing more inclusive urban models and practices. Our methodology gave us an opportunity to critically reflect on the possibilities that gender-driven urban policies and practices could open for our cities (and societies) towards a more sustainable and inclusive future for all.

Democracy is Complexity. Social Transformation from Below
Authors: Dominici Piero
Published: January 2024

The temptation to find a working formula for transforming society into a highly regulated, sustainable world-system does not take into account two extremely relevant and interwoven aspects of reality, which can be understood by probing the deeper meaning of these two words: democracy and complexity. Beginning with what is arguably the most mysterious term of the two, complexity, the first point that must be clarified is that “complex” and “complicated” systems are diametrically different: complicated systems are man-made mechanical/artificial systems and as such are controllable, predictable, and possible to break down into their smaller parts. All living systems, instead, are complex, thus the exact opposite: uncontrollable, unpredictable, and impossible to break down into their highly dynamic, interconnected, and interdependent parts. If this sounds familiar, it may be because this is also a passable description of democracy. Complex systems, including democracies, therefore, are made up of an exceedingly large number of smaller, interactive subsystems, or subunits, arranged hierarchically, where the changes “from below” among smaller sub-units trigger changes in higher levels of units, changes which will affect the entire system and its interactions with other systems and with the environment, giving rise to self-organization and emergence. Social transformation is no exception: it must also begin from bottom-up events, from single individuals or grassroots communities, never from a top-down, hetero-directed imposition, even when this is attempted with the noblest of intentions.
Social Conflicts and Citizenship in the Context of Societal Complexity
Authors: Leonardi Laura
Published: January 2024

This article addresses the issue of the legal expansion of citizenship in the context of increasing societal complexity. Social conflict has historically played a driving role in the enlargement of citizenship, but in the current phase it no longer seems to fulfil this function. The contribution aims to reflect on the conceptual tools needed to analyse social conflict related to the emergence of new forms of citizenship at a global scale. In the first part of this article, I focus on the inadequacy of classical analytical tools for the study of social conflict and the desirability of expanding the sociological canon with new concepts including its relation to social change. In the second part, I put forward the proposal to use some analytical tools – in particular the concepts of ius nexi, scale and lateral oscillation – to reconnect social conflict and the expansion of citizenship in social and legal terms.

The study examined the impact of counseling measurements models for safety in school and other contexts in University of Cross River University (UNICROSS), Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. Two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design. The population of the study consisted of 3,800 students and staff of the University within Calabar campus. The stratified random sampling technique was used to select 208 students and staff from a population of 3800 using proportionality of 1.12% with students and staff as basis of stratification from the population. The sample of this study was two hundred and eight (208) respondents. The questionnaire was designed to measure the two sub-independent variables. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while Simple linear regression analysis statistical tool was employed to test the null hypotheses that were formulated to guild the study at 0.05 level of significance. The findings showed that, there is a significant influence of counseling measurements models on safety in school and other contexts in University of Cross River University (UNICROSS), Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria; and Counseling measurements models significantly predict accurate decision making in school and other contexts. It was therefore recommended among others that counseling measurements should be carried out after every counseling session for accurate decision making to ensure safety in school and other contexts.

Tourist’s demand led to an increasingly complex travel trend. as a result, numerous competitors rising to Indonesia tourism sector with various innovations and patterns of tourism communication. E-booklet is one of many products to build the image of quality tourism and Green Tourism in Indonesia. As a promotional medium, the e-booklet became a marketing communication strategy carried out by the Ministry of Tourism and creative arts in collaboration with the private sector since 2018. Together with the Grab Indonesia company, the Ministry of Tourism launched 2 types of e-booklets about Bali tourist destinations in mid-2022 and early 2023. In its implementation, two e-booklets entitled Bali Magz: Eat, explore, and Enjoy Bali and Exploration of the Enchantment of the Island of the Gods have provided comprehensive, visually interesting, and informative information. The nature of the e-booklet, which contains promotions and suggestions, is contained and can help tourists to choose the desired destination. These two e-booklets have been uploaded to the official website of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. Socialization from the government, ease of access to e-booklets, and understanding of tourists are indicators of the success of booklets in educating tourists. In the future, booklets would be perfected as promotional media to fulfil various elements of booklets and e-booklets. Planning for the preparation of the e-booklet is also needed so that each thing tourists need to know can be accommodated in the next guidebook. In the future, Indonesian Tourism, in general, and Bali, in particular, can achieve maximum success.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Hallux valgus (HV) is one of the most constant pathologies in orthopedics, compromising both soft and bony tissues of the first toe, being more common in women. This deformity is generated by a progressive subluxation in valgus of the metatarsophalangeal joint (MTF) of the first toe and a varus deviation of the first metatarsal.

Objective: to detail current information related to hallux valgus, case description, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, history, clinical evaluation, imaging approach, classification, treatment, prognosis and complications.

Methodology: a total of 50 articles were analyzed in this review, including review and original articles, as well as clinical cases, of which 37 bibliographies were used because the other articles were not relevant for this study. The sources of information were PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane; the terms used to search for information in Spanish, Portuguese and English were: hallux valgus, deformity, foot, metatarsal, bunions.

Results: Hallux valgus deformity is relatively common, occurring in about 23% of adults aged 18 to 65 years and up to 36% of adults older than 65 years, and particularly in adult women, occurring in up to 30%.

Conclusions: Hallux valgus, or bunion, is the valgus deviation of the first orthotic with a varus deviation of the first metatarsal. The establishment of a diagnosis can be made through physical examination, however imaging helps to determine the involvement of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. At the moment there are several surgical techniques developed to restore the deformity. Hallux valgus corrective surgery is effective, presenting high rates of pain relief, deformity correction and patient satisfaction, however it is not free of complications.

KEY WORDS: hallux valgus, deformity, foot, metatarsal, bunions.
DO MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES SIGNAL IDO MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES SIGNAL IMPACT ON FIRM VALUE AND COMPANY GROWTH?MPACT ON FIRM VALUE AND COMPANY GROWTH?
Authors: Nanggala Ardhya Yudistira Adi
Published: January 2024

This study aims to examine the response of stakeholder and shareholder to the information submitted by the company. In the discussion of signaling theory, information is a signal and is expected to be responded to by shareholder and stakeholder. The research population is manufacturing companies from 2018 to 2021 in Indonesia, with a purposive sample of 64 companies-years of observation. There are five hypotheses tested using partial least squares. Three hypotheses were successfully accepted and rejected the others. The test results prove that stakeholder respond to CSR as a positive signal for the company but fail to demonstrate the role of income smoothing. Different things are shown that income smoothing is a signal that is responded to by shareholder but is not responded to by stakeholder. The firm value becomes the guideline for the value that stakeholder provides to the company. Testing the mediating role shows that firm value is not an intervening variable because it does not have a direct relationship with growth. Income smoothing affects firm value, and then firm value affects growth. In the development of science, these findings can be used to develop accounting theory. Evidence of stakeholder reactions to signals given by shareholder and management can lead to a process of generalizing and falsifying theories to strengthen financial accounting theory.
Empirical Analysis on Import Diversification of Major Livestock Commodities in Malaysia
Authors: Ali Roslina
Published: January 2024

The long-standing underperforming self-sufficiency status of major ruminant commodities in Malaysia signifies that the livestock sub-sector is confronting crucial import dependency status, particularly beef and mutton. The self-sufficiency indicated stagnating and even deteriorating trends over the years, stemming from a massive gap between domestic production and the demand requirement for meat products. Various efforts and strategies are implemented to expand local beef and mutton production, yet the performance remains insignificant. This crucial situation further urges the government to implement the liberalization of import quota for the two main meat commodities, aiming to provide meat supply based on current needs either at the industry or consumer level and further facilitate market equilibrium for meat products. Nevertheless, the import tendency has concentrated on a few dominant markets, globally. Previous studies suggested trade diversification is crucial for multiple reasons towards creating a more sustainable economy and food security. Therefore, this study identifies the status of trade diversification of primary livestock commodities and measures the association between trade diversification and economic performance in Malaysia. Time series databases (2000 – 2020) were utilized and analyzed using quantitative methods to estimate the import diversification index (ID) using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), which is further used as an endogenous variable to develop the import diversification empirical model, while the exogenous variables include gross domestic product per capita, food security, and total factor productivity. The Import Diversification Index confirms beef import market demonstrates a low diversified import or highly concentrated market, whereas mutton showed more diversified import markets. The results showed that national gross per capita income and food security status are the two variables that significantly influence the country's concentrated import markets for beef and mutton import diversification status. This study also found that per capita national income, self-sufficiency, and total factor productivity significantly affect the trade diversification degree for beef and mutton imports in Malaysia. Despite being massively dependent on meat (beef and mutton) imports, none of the specific studies has attempted to measure the trade diversification circumstance in Malaysia. The findings of this study are useful in strategizing the diversification of import markets, particularly for primary ruminant livestock commodities, in line with the national food security direction and policy agenda in Malaysia.
Moderación por el género de los efectos del encuadre visual de mensajes COVID-19 sobre emociones negativas
Authors: León Federico R. , Calixto María I. , Espinosa Agustín , Huapaya Carla
Published: January 2024

Un reciente meta-análisis reveló que mensajes persuasivos enmarcados en ganancias inducen emociones positivas en la audiencia mientras que mensajes encuadrados en pérdidas inducen emociones negativas; más aún, la experiencia de emociones positivas potencia la influencia de los encuadramientos de ganancia mientras que las emociones negativas aumentan los efectos de los enmarques de pérdida. Esto sugiere que los efectos de los encuadres de ganancia versus pérdida en la adherencia del público al mensaje son mediados por emociones. Como se sabe que las mujeres experimentan más emociones negativas que los hombres, en el presente estudio exploratorio nosotros evaluamos sesgos de género en las emociones negativas inducidas por imágenes que acompañaban a textos con recomendaciones nutricionales para prevenir la severidad de los síntomas de COVID-19. Los textos estuvieron encuadrados en no-pérdidas. Usando fotos de un ataúd versus una familia, encontramos una robusta interacción imagen x género entre trabajadores de un hospital en Lima, Perú: mientras que el ataúd tendía a aumentar las emociones negativas de las mujeres, aquellas de los hombres presentaban una tendencia opuesta. Así, concluimos que la intervención de emociones en un mismo proceso de persuasión puede terminar en adherencias diferentes de hombres y mujeres al mensaje y esto debe estudiarse. Los investigadores que ignoren la variable género en el encuadramiento visual de mensajes pueden arribar a conclusiones distorsionadas.

Published: January 2024

Additive manufacturing (AM) is gaining increasing popularity in various fields, including biomedical engineering. Although AM enables fabrication of tailored components with complex geometries, the manufactured parts typically feature several internal issues, such as unpredictable distribution of residual stress and printing defects. However, these issues can be reduced or eliminated by post-processing via thermomechanical treatment. The study investigated the effects of combinations of AM and post-processing by the intensive plastic deformation method of rotary swaging (variable swaging ratios) on microstructures, residual stress, and corrosion behaviors of AISI 316L stainless steel workpieces; the corrosion tests were performed in an ionized simulated body fluid. The results showed that the gradual swaging process favorably refined the grains and homogenized the grain size. The imposed swaging ratio also directly influenced the development of substructure and dislocations density. A high density of dislocations positively affected the corrosion resistance, whereas annihilation of dislocations and formation of subgrains had a negative effect on the corrosion behavior. The first few swaging passes homogenized the distribution of residual stress within the workpiece and acted toward imparting a predominantly compressive stress state, which also favorably influenced the corrosion behavior. Lastly, the presence of the {111}||swaging direction texture fiber (of a high intensity) increased the resistance to pitting corrosion. Overall, the most favorable corrosion behavior was acquired for the AM sample subjected to the swaging ratio of 0.8, exhibiting a strong fiber texture and a high density of dislocations.

COVID-19 pandemic changed our life. Though isolation and confinement help to reduce the spread of disease, remaining isolated for long periods brings negative consequences on mental health. This study describes the impact on dietary habits and emotional states of Peruvian population produced during COVID-19 quarantine. A nationwide survey containing multiple choice questions related to the types of diets and social states of Peruvian citizens was carried out. It was found that consumption of food like beans and legumes increased, while seafood and sauces decreased. Additionally, using emojis allowed those surveyed to easily and intuitively express their emotional state on delivery services and their feelings when eating foods. The most commonly used emojis were: crazy or fun face, face which enjoys food, and face with protective mask. Also, people reported not eating in excess and feeling happy about the recuperation of the environment, however, still worried about the increase in prices. Concurrently, the use of electronic devices, fear of losing one’s job, and fear of contracting the virus increased by 76%, 51%, and 54%, respectively. Moreover, 56% of the population saw a lower rate of physical activity as a consequence of stress and emotional issues.

Tourism as a social, cultural and economic phenomenon, nowadays in the 21st century, has an impact on the economy of the places that have tourist attractions and that manage to develop platforms of digital tourist services, according to the situation, for the benefit of visitors in such a way that allows a better experience of the visit and a growth of the influx of visitors. This research, which aims to strengthen digital skills for entrepreneurship of women artisans, will be framed in a descriptive type of research, non-experimental design, and the population will be made up of artisan women linked to the native cotton line from Mórrope. In the research it was concluded that, according to the evaluation of digital skills, in their different dimensions, there was evidence of a low qualification of artisan women entrepreneurs in Mórrope in general. They showed little initiative to undertake projects related to information technologies because of the little knowledge they had about them. Therefore, digital skills are considered essential for success in entrepreneurship and it is important that women have access to education and training in technology to develop those skills.

The massive adoption of mobile wallets in the context of COVID-19 forced retailers to implement it in their businesses. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the determinants of mobile wallet adoption and recommendations among merchants in northern Peru. Objective: To conduct an empirical evaluation to test the research hypotheses gathered during the literature review process. Based on the UTAUT2 model, the partial least-squares technique was used to test the hypotheses. Method: This study relied on a quantitative approach with a nonexperimental design, and a sample of 466 merchants was selected through nonprobabilistic sampling. Results: Eight of the nine hypotheses were confirmed: Perceived utility (?=0.219???), attitude (?=0.57?), perceived risk (?=?0.219???), and satisfaction (?=0.515???) are the main factors influencing the adoption and recommendations of mobile wallets with standardized beta coefficients of considerable magnitude (?***). Conclusion: This study confirms the importance of perceived usefulness, attitude, perceived risk, and satisfaction in driving the adoption and recommendation of mobile wallets among merchants in northern Peru. This information may be useful for merchants wishing to implement mobile wallet services and to increase their customer base. The results of this empirical assessment highlight the need for merchants to focus on improving the perceived usefulness and satisfaction of their mobile wallet services as well as minimizing the perceived risks associated with their use.

This visual essay presents the design research project focusing on Gao Xingjian (b. 1940), who is a Chinese-born novelist, playwright, and painter in exile. He is also a Nobel laureate in literature (2000) for the universal validity, bitter insights, and linguistic ingenuity of his writings. This essay explores the under-researched architectural and spatial allegories of Gao’s literary and theatrical works by interpreting his acts of withdrawal in search of a new perspective for meaning making in a time of crisis and violence most notably marked by the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45) and the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966–76). First, this essay examines the traumatic process of Gao’s threefold withdrawal into the uncertain interior of the self. It then focuses on how such experiences of withdrawal have led to Gao’s post-exile play Between Life and Death (1991), and his literary invention of ‘fugitive pronouns’ to represent an interior that is unsettled, obscure, and vague. Finally, to explore the architectural potential of Gao’s play, the design research project [with]Drawing-Room translates the narrative of withdrawal into a spatial performance in three acts through methods of scanning, burning, and tracing. Engaging with notions of darkness and uncertainty through thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben and Francois Jullien, the essay argues against the light of certitude often uncritically associated with modern technology and a rationalistic mind set.
Abandoned War-Torn Homes as Casualties and Witnesses of Violence

Most global conflicts are followed by a simultaneous war against domestic architecture. However, this phenomenon remains largely ignored by contemporary spatial discourses. Similarly, previously destroyed homes are marginalised and remain disconnected from the contemporary life of the region. This text-based essay frames the region of the former SFR Yugoslavia as a concrete case study and casts light on the uncertain position domestic interiors hold in times of political fluctuations and ethnic conflicts. It specifically focuses on the time after the acts of violence have taken place, when these sites have lost their prime domestic identity and stand as discarded ruins caught in an ambiguous zone between past and present.
The analysis is presented through findings of a unique physical and psychological exploration of the aftermath of ethnic conflicts — TRAVELS (2011–2014). Findings from TRAVELS are here applied as a universal material and used to analyse the aims, meanings, and consequences of violent attacks in the contexts of widespread ethnic, cultural, and political violence. This essay offers a distinctive perspective by positioning the domestic interior as a direct casualty and witness of violence.
As the key driver of all spatial explorations in this essay, scenography deepens our understanding of the meaning and impact of violence on the current uncertain position of the attacked homes. With scenography taking a forensic standpoint, these sites emerge as abandoned mise-en-scènes inscribed with layers of spatial narratives, traces of time, and tactile remnants of past violence and trauma. This essay proposes that the acts of violence transform the meaning of home. In times of conflict, strategic acts of violence are framed as modes of cultural and ethnic cleansing and domestic space as their true medium. In the aftermath, while officially detached from contemporary life, war-torn homes represent survivors of history and metamorphose into uniquely powerful monuments of the collectively lived trauma.
Exploiting the Unexpected

Contemporary imaging technologies have expanded our ability to view contemporary urban space from many vantage points. The camera's portability has meant a departure from any singular ‘ideal’ viewing position previously proposed using linear perspective geometry. This visual and technological shift has brought new opportunities for how urban space is understood and conceived for various modes of inhabitation. By fracturing and multiplying its representation, the recording of dynamic space thus destabilises the traditional relationship between image and form and, in so doing, presents previously unconsidered spatial opportunities.
This text-based essay explores the instrumentality of digital image processes in the production of new material and spatial strategies for design and architectural applications. Contextualised within a frame of the digital image and contemporary envisioned space activated by the Internet, it focuses upon the spatial and material properties of three different architectural scales — the residential dwelling, the apartment block, and the public building. The essay demonstrates how repurposed medical imaging software can uncover hidden and unexpected characteristics of different-sized interior spaces by recalibrating image data from captured video footage.
The essay draws on a range of generative digital techniques that transform the temporal visual content of interior space — the image stack and its slices or frames — into diagrammatic abstractions of recalibrated colour and form. The various axes of the stack thus serve as a contemporary extrapolation of the traditional orthographic diagrams that currently define architectural production — the plan, section, and elevation. With the visual content of these axes completely redistributed across different scales according to the shifts of the colour- and contrast-based properties of the digital array, the emerging slippages within each slice compose a new dynamic template or diagram that informs new and uncertain strategies of inhabitation.
First Hard, Then Soft

This text-based essay conceptualises uncertainty in architectural interiors as ‘plan flexibility’, with a normative focus on its future-oriented qualities. I concentrate on one specific typology: housing. In this context, a ‘good’, future-ready plan refers to the quality of conserving options and resources for coming generations of dwellers; it builds from principles of architectural resilience, or exaptation, where design ambitions link to preparing for an increasingly vague future where ecological, economic, political, and socio-cultural conditions of human life are difficult to anticipate. Despite risks of temporal agnosticism, I argue that focusing on housing allows me to discuss the forthcoming architectural needs of individuals without fully committing to an era-bound programme. My contribution focuses on asserting the longterm value of dwellings’ flexibility in terms of programme indeterminacy (multipurpose use of space; hard-then-soft) rather than formal indeterminacy (adaptable elements; soft-then-hard). I define the notions of programme indeterminacy and formal indeterminacy, which I briefly tie back to the modernist history of alternative models of flexible domestic dwelling. I then comment at length on the interiors of Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira’s Wohnhaus Schlesisches Tor (Berlin, Internationale Bauausstellung, 1984–1987), making the case for some of the abovementioned design principles. I contextualise Wohnhaus Schlesisches Tor’s interior design ambitions and effects in light of contemporary characterisations of housing adequacy and argue for the potential of the ‘extra room’ as one possible manifestation of the desired plan flexibility: this, inter alia, develops into a broader reflection on measures such as the ‘bedroom tax’ policies, and into a celebration of future-ready attitudes in planning houses.
