Authors: Tikoo Parul , Akansha  , Anuridhi
Published: September 2022

Dental diseases now-a-days are emerging swiftly thus making its control and prevention a tedious task. The outcome of dental diseases is boundless extending from pit and fissure involvement till development of malignancy. Thus, the prevention as well as control of dental diseases has gained importance. A thorough knowledge of prevalence of disease along with profound clinical examination are two most criterion for determining the presence or severity of disease. Dental diseases can be prevented by early diagnosis followed by immediate treatment. However, the progression as well as the severity of the disease is determined by calculating the prevalence stroke frequency of occurrence of the particular diseases. In view of above mentioned background, the study was done to determine the frequency of occurrence of various dental diseases in Western Uttar Pradesh population. However, the present study was not community-based but rather commenced radiographically.

The present study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of various dental diseases radiographically. The dental diseases considered in the study are dental caries, periodontal diseases such as horizontal bone loss, vertical bone loss, presence of root stumps and impaction status. In the study, a total of 1500 radiographs were selected randomly and evaluated and the prevalence of various above mentioned dental diseases were determined.

The prevalence of different dental diseases varies sporadically. In the present study, among the dental diseases, highest prevalence was found for dental caries (76%) followed by periodontal involvement (70%) then mesioangularly impacted teeth (2.7%) and so on. From the results, it could be interpreted that mostly radiographs are recommended for dental caries followed by periodontal status determination and rest for other diseases. Conclusion: Radiographic evaluation is an adjunct of clinical diagnosis. Diseases like Dental caries, bone loss, root stumps which cannot be visualized clinically require the radiographic evaluation necessarily. Hence, judicious utilization of radiographic procedures should be practised for the benefit of the patients.

Authors: Zrelov A. A. , Nechaeva A. S.
Published: September 2022

Introduction. According to the WHO CNS of tumors of central nervous system gemistocytic astrocytomas (GA) are common astrocytic tumors, in which the proportion of gemistocytes is at least 20 % of the total cell mass. Morpho-molecular characterization and treatment tactics of GA research is insufficient.

Purpose. Identification of risk factors for the development of early recurrence of gemistocytic astrocytes (GA).

Material and methods. A retrospective and prospective analysis of the identified signs, brain MRI data, features of morphological and molecular genetic diseases was performed in 14 patients diagnosed with GA. The work included patients older than 18 years with supratentorial invasive tumor. The patients were aged 27 to 62 years, the average temperature of the age was 35.5 years. There were 5 men. After the removal operation, histological, immunohistochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed. The histological diagnosis was made according to the WHO classification of CNS tumors and the AFIP atlas (2007). Real-time PCR revealed the presence of mutations in the IDH1/IDH2 genes and the combined deletion of 1p19q in all patients; in 10 patients, the level of gene expression was also observed: TP, VEGF, PDGFRA, β-tubulin, MGMT, C-kit, ERCC1.

Results. Median recurrence-free period (RFS) GA was 89 weeks. If a recurrence occurs before this time RFS is considered early. The odds ratio (OR) was calculated for different groups of early and late recurrence according to the standard method. Significantly, the risk of developing an early relapse of GA increased with the expression of the VEGF gene, ΔSt < 1.15 (p < 0.05) (OR — 121). Several risk factors were also identified that cause inflammation of GA recurrence, but without a statistical tumor: expression of the β-tubulin gene ΔSt < 0.65 (RR — 33), accumulation of tumor contrast. according to MRI of the brain (OR — 10.7), vascular proliferation (OR — 8.3), Ki-67 > 5 % (OR — 4.5), tumor spread in the area of opening of the cerebral hemispheres (OR — 4.5).

Conclusion. Features of brain MRI data, morphological and molecular-genetic picture These patients probably need complex treatment (surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy), which they currently do not meet.

Published: September 2022

In vitro and in vivo experiments often require construction of convenient cell instruments to reliably assess the specificity of the molecules or therapeutic approaches being tested against the protein target of interest. Using model isogenic cell lines that differ only in the expression of the target protein represents an ideal solution to this problem. Cloning and efficient delivery of genetic cassettes encoding such proteins, particularly the large ones, is typically challenging, much as the knock-out of the respective genes. To tackle this issue, we adapted a CRISPR/ Cas9-based SAM (Synergistic Activation Mediator) platform, and successfully established four model isogenic cell line pairs (U343, HeLa, HT-1080 и HEp-2) overexpressing human CD5.
Major features of the 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System: clinician’s view
Authors: Dinikina Y. V. , Belogurova M. B.
Published: September 2022

Advances in the understanding of the molecular biology of central nervous system (CNS) tumors have prompted a new WHO classification of brain and spinal cord tumors in 2021 and integration it in routine clinical practice. Nowadays accurate diagnosis verification consists not only of the histological tumor type, but also includes its molecular-genetic characteristics. Differences in the genetic features of a tumor, even within the same histological type, will determine differences in the prognosis of the disease, and in the tactics of anticancer therapy. The introduced changes necessitate a comprehensive diagnosis of CNS tumors, thereby placing the responsibility for formulating the final diagnosis not only on pathologists. New approaches to classification make it possible to personalize anticancer treatment, as well as including new methods of targeted and immunotherapy, which today seems to be a key aspect of improving the survival of this category of patients.

Mechanical rice transplanter needs a special type of seedling raised in-tray. Low temperature affected the quality of rice seedlings in Boro season. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of seeding date on the properties of tray-type seedlings of three rice varieties namely BRRI dhan86, BRRI dhan89 and BRRI dhan92. This study was conducted in three locations namely Tangail, Rangpur and Gazipur in the Boro season of 2019-20. Four sowing date and three locations were considered and two factorial randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications was followed in the study. Characteristics of tray-raised rice seedlings suitable for mechanical transplanting in Boro season were revealed by this study. Seedling height and leaf number satisfied the requirement of transplanting. Seedling emergence was completed within 10 days after sowing (DAS). Seedling mortality of the tested three varieties started after 25 DAS in all locations. The seedling survival rate of BRRI dhan92, BRRI dhan89 and BRRI dhan86 exhibited the highest differently in a different location. The highest stem thickness of seedling was observed in all the tested varieties if seeds were sown on the 2nd and 3rd week of December in Gazipur and Rangpur location and 3rd and 4th week of December in Rangpur location. All the tested varieties showed a stem thickness of more than 1.5 mm. The highest stem strength was obtained if seeds were sown in the tray on the 3rd week of December. Variety showed inconsistent results on stem strength. The 2nd and 3rd week of December is an appropriate seeding time for optimum seedling height, stem strength and stem thickness in three locations. Seeding time affected the seedling emergence, mortality and height in the Boro season due to temperature variations and cold waves.

Sanitation is a multidimensional concept, mainly including providing service for clean water and safe disposal of human excreta, drainage and waste management. The researcher of the study aims to find out the existing condition of the sanitation environment and women’s health issues for the implication of the sanitation environment. For this purpose, the researcher used the Khulna railway slum informal settlement of Khulna city as the study area and identified the sample size through convenience sampling as the study is explanatory. Under convenience sampling, 134 respondents were surveyed through a face-to-face interview. Through the study, the researcher learns about the existing sanitation environment through the present condition of sanitary facilities, drainage facilities, water facilities and waste management facilities. Furthermore, the sanitation environment is a significant concern in the slums. Because of the poor sanitation environment, the slum women are getting sick. They face physical health issues like cold and cough, diarrhoea, skin disease and urinary tract infection. Moreover, they also experience psychological health issues like depression, loss of sleep and losing confidence. In addition, women experience health issues during pregnancy (eating disorders, weakness, nausea, shortness of breath, back pain, sleep disorder, depression and anxiety disorder) and menstruation period (stomach pain, mood swing, excessive bleeding, rash at external genitalia).
Insight of Mechanism of Action of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobia in Leguminous Crops: A Review
Authors: Pandove G. , Kaur A. , Ramya S.
Published: September 2022

World demand for food supply is burgeoning day by day and the need of the hour is to escalate yield per unit area per unit time. Nevertheless, to meet such enormous demand for food, inclination toward inorganic fertilizers has bolstered. It would not only be exorbitant but could grievously degrade the environment through climate change or via contamination of water bodies. There is a need to look for surrogate tactics for climate-resilient agriculture. The microorganisms particularly those that reside in the rhizosphere can play a pertinent role in ameliorating yield without having any detrimental effect on the environment. These organisms are called plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR); these can be ePGPR or iPGPR depending on their location whether inside the host plant or outside the host plant. Further, Plant growth promoting rhizobia can play a significant role in improving soil health and enhancing yield through their symbiotic association with legume plants via biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), phosphate solubilization, phytohormone production, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity or siderophore production. In the neoteric era, a myriad liquid or charcoal carrier-based formulations of PGPR as microbial inoculants are accessible in the market. However, liquid formulations of microbial inoculants have specific advantages over charcoal-based formulations. Furthermore, dual inoculation or amalgamation of microbial inoculants has a synergistic effect on individuals in crop production. Wherefore, this review will provide a concise account of legume-rhizobial symbiosis, various mechanisms of action of microbes associated with legumes in addition to BNF, the benefits of liquid microbial inoculants and the significance of co-inoculation of symbiotic and other microbial inoculants. The realization attained from the present review herein will further help the fellow scientist to conceive better research ideas keeping in view the multifaceted characteristics of rhizobia.

Background: CLS causes severe yield loss in mung bean. To sustain mung bean health, it is vital to include alleles that may be useful in resisting CLS. Therefore, in the present study, 90 mung bean genotypes were included for assessing genetic diversity using 66 SSR markers for CLS resistance. Methods: The mung bean crop was regularly monitored for the presence of pathogen and development of CLS disease in natural field conditions during pre rabi 2018 and pre rabi 2019. CLS screening assessments of germplasms were carried out using a 1-5 rating scale. Total genomic DNA was isolated from the leaf samples of all the genotypes and SSR genotyping was performed. The genotyping data were analysed by using GenAlEx 6.51b2 and TASSEL 5.0 software programme for genetic diversity parameters. Result: A moderate molecular diversity was observed in the panel population as a wide variation in alleles showed a range of 80 bp to 300 bp with the average PIC value of 0.40. The maximum percentage of polymorphic loci was 75.76% in the resistance genotypes followed by 56.06% in moderately resistant genotypes. The percentages of Shannon information among and within the population were found to be 44% and 56%, respectively. The archaeopterx tree differentiated the panel population into two major clusters, i.e., cluster I and cluster II, which were again sub divided into different sub-clusters and sub-sub clusters. These findings indicate that, the mung bean germplasm panel used in the present study could enrich the local gene pool and provide information for CLS resistance breeding.

Excitation of a Group of Two Hindmarsh – Rose Neurons with a Neuron-Generated Signal
Authors:   HSE University, Garashchuk I. R. ,   HSE University, Sinelshchikov D. I.
Published: September 2022

We study a model of three Hindmarsh – Rose neurons with directional electrical connections. We consider two fully-connected neurons that form a slave group which receives the signal from the master neuron via a directional coupling. We control the excitability of the neurons by setting the constant external currents. We study the possibility of excitation of the slave system in the stable resting state by the signal coming from the master neuron, to make it fire spikes/bursts tonically. We vary the coupling strength between the master and the slave systems as another control parameter. We calculate the borderlines of excitation by different types of signal in the control parameter space. We establish which of the resulting dynamical regimes are chaotic. We also demonstrate the possibility of excitation by a single burst or a spike in areas of control parameters, where the slave system is bistable. We calculate the borderlines of excitation by a single period of the excitatory signal.

Authors: Romadhon Muhammad Rizky , Aziz Abdul
Published: September 2022

Semarang City is the capital of the Central Java Province, located in the lowlands and directly adjacent to the north side of the Java Sea. This geographical condition makes this city very vulnerable to being affected by floods. This study aims to determine the distribution of flood-prone locations and classify the level of flood susceptibility that occurs in the Semarang City. Quantitative descriptive is the type of research with an overlay method based on scoring parameters related to environmental conditions. These parameters include slope, soil type, rainfall, altitude, land use and river flow buffers. The scored parameters are then entered into the overlay stage with other parameters in the geographic information system (GIS) application to form a map of the flood susceptibility level. The data analysis technique used the descriptive method. The level of flood susceptibility map resulting from this study is in one area of the Pemali-Juana Sub-watershed. The results also show that the scattered highly vulnerable areas in the northern part of Semarang City are areas with low elevations and flat slopes, then dominated by settlement land use that lacks infiltration areas, small river buffer sizes. These are what make the area classified as an area that is very prone to flooding.

Published: September 2022

One of the limiting factors in the cultivation of shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) is the attack of pathogens that can reduce the yield of shallots. The use of seed-origin shallots (true shallot seed) of the Lokananta variety for the production of shallot bulbs has not been widely practiced in Indonesia, so information on the types of diseases that attack has not been widely reported. The purpose of this study was to determine the symptoms and signs of the disease, as well as to determine the types of pathogens in the Lokananta variety shallots. The study was conducted using a survey method. The survey locations were shown in Sleman and Bantul Regencies, Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. Disease inventory was carried out by directly observing symptoms of pathogen attack on leaves, tubers and plant roots randomly on each onion plant. The isolation stage and macroscopic characteristics were performed in the laboratory. The results showed that there were two main types of diseases on shallots of the Lokananta variety, namely moler's disease caused by the fungus Fusarium sp. and anthracnose (leaf rot) caused by the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Typical symptoms of moler are yellowing leaves that tend to curl, twist (twisted), plants wilt and droop, and tubers rot. The early symptoms of anthracnose are oval to round white spots on the leaves and a depression is formed. Further symptoms are the leaves will break and droop, and blackish conidia colonies are formed. The isolation results of the Lokananta variety of shallots obtained two isolates of Fusarium sp. and one fungal isolate, C. gloeosporioides. The macroscopic characteristics are seen below the surface of two petri dishes of Fusarium sp. and one isolate of C. gloeosporioides as purple, orange and gray, respectively. This study confirmed the type of disease in the Lokananta variety of shallots as basic information in determining the right way of controlling the disease.

Background: Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MC) of the kidney is a rare renal epithelial tumor originating from the renal pelvic urothelium. There are only a few published reports on MC. Due to its rare and unknown tissue origin, its diagnosis is difficult which almost can be diagnosed through the pathological method.
Case presentation: In this case report, we report a female patient whose chief complaint was low back pain lasting for one month. The three-dimensional computed tomography scan of the urinary system detected approximately 7 cm of a left renal cystic mass. The renal cystic mass was diagnosed as MC after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. The MC originated from the kidney after completing colorectal adenocarcinoma and ovarian adenocarcinoma.
Conclusions: We reported a case of MC of the kidney which was a rare renal tumor. We not only aimed to present an unusual case of MC and review the previous literature on its pathology and differential diagnosis, but also used new method to treat this type of tumor.
The Ageless DMFT Index (A-DMFT): a proposal for a unified DMFT index for all ages and dentitions.
Authors: Luiz Ronir Raggio , Santos Ana Paula Pires dos , Gonçalves Lucio Souza , Nadanovsky Paulo
Published: September 2022

Objectives
To propose a dental caries index that can be calculated regardless of age, even in situations of mixed dentitions.
Methods
The A-DMFT is defined simply from weighted means of the DMFT and dmft indices, with weights given by the number of natural teeth present (or that should be present) in the mouth (permanent and primary, respectively), and relativized according to the square root of the individual’s age.
Results
The highest value for the A-DMFT in our simulations was 14.1, in a two-year-old child with dmft = 20; in the permanent dentition it was 8.1 in a 12-year-old child with DMFT = 28. A five-year-old child with dmft = 4 has A-DMFT = 1.8 while a 12-year-old with DMFT = 4 has A-DMFT = 1.2; and a 50-year-old with DMFT = 4 has A-DMFT = 0.6. A 10-year-old with dmft = 2 and DMFT = 2 has A-DMFT = 0.6 while a same age child with dmft = 0 and DMFT = 4 has A-DMFT = 1.0.
Conclusions
The A-DMFT index is particularly useful for describing the severity of caries in children with mixed dentition. A-DMFT can be described for the entire study population, even if it consists of people of various ages and even if individuals with primary, mixed or permanent dentitions are combined. This could be useful in some studies, as it may increase efficiency and reflects the severity of caries in the population as a whole, not only in one age group in the population.

Objective:
Posterior fossa or midline tumors are often associated with hydrocephalus and primary tumor removal with or without perioperative placement of an external ventricular drain (EVD) is commonly accepted as first-line treatment. Shunting prior to posterior fossa surgery (PFS) is mostly reserved for symptomatic cases or special circumstances. There are limited data regarding the anticipated risk for symptomatic pneumocephalus and the perioperative management using the semi-sitting position (SSP) in such a scenario. Here, we therefore assessed the safety of performing PFS in a consecutive series of patients over a period of 15 years to allow the elaboration of recommendations for perioperative management.
Methods:
According to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria a total of 13 patients who underwent 17 operations was identified. Supratentorial pneumocephalus was evaluated with semiautomatic-volumetric segmentation. The volume of pneumocephalus was evaluated according to age and ventricular size.
Results:
Ten of the 13 patients had a programmable valve (preoperative valve setting range 6–14 cmH20; mean 7.5 cmH20) while 3 patients had non programmable valves. A variable amount of supratentorial air collection was evident in all patients postoperatively (range 3.2–331 ml; mean 122.32 ml). Positive predictors for the volume of postoperative pneumocephalus were higher age and a preoperative Evans ratio > 0.3. In our series, we encountered no cases of tension pneumocephalus necessitating an air replacement procedure as well as no obstruction, disconnection, infection or hardware malfunction of the shunt system.
Conclusions:
Our findings indicate that a CSF shunt in situ is not a contraindication for performing PFS in the semi-sitting position and it does not increase the pre-existing risk for postoperative tension pneumocephalus. In cases of primary shunting for hydrocephalus associated with posterior fossa tumors a programmable valve set at a medium opening pressure with a gravitational device is a valid option when PFS in the semi-sitting position is opted. In patients with an indwelling shunt diversion system special caution is indicated in order to prevent and detect overdrainage especially in not adjustable valves or shunts without antisiphon devices.

MECCA MEAN TIME PROBLEMATIC AS A WORLD TIME REFERENCE
Authors: Intifada Raizza Kinka , Hamas Nuril Fathoni
Published: September 2022

Desire of Muslims to replace the present standard of time, namely Greenwich Mean Time, to Mecca Mean Time is the manifestation of a new spirit in the Islamic world in particular. Mecca Mean Time makes al-Abraj tower (Mecca Royal Clock) the zero degree point or standard for the commencement of global time. The goal of this study is to find out what are the challenges that occur when Mecca Mean Time is used as a reference for global time. This research is a sort of qualitative research involving library research studies by describing descriptively. After the data is obtained, the author will categorize, analyze and present it in the form of a brief and systematic document. In this study, it was revealed that there was a debate of variations in views amongst different specialists when MMT was utilized as a reference for global time. Bambang Eko Budhiyono is striving very hard to achieve MMT as a world time reference on the basis of interpretation of the Qur'an verse 1 al-Hujurat. Meanwhile, Thomas Djamaluddin has a different perspective since physically and geographically there are no qualities that assist it to make it a time reference or as a main meridian (Prime Meridian) except religious spirit.
THE EFFECT OF MAGNETIC DECLINATION CORRECTION ON SMARTPHONES COMPASS SENSORS IN DETERMINING QIBLA DIRECTION
Authors: Husein Akhmad - , Izzuddin Ahmad - , Fadhel Muhammad Said
Published: September 2022

Qibla direction application on android phones generally utilizes a compass sensor (magnetic orientation) as a reference to determine the direction and detect qibla direction. The accuracy of the compass sensor in determining the direction of qibla is still doubtful, because the compass sensor is easily affected by the surrounding magnetic field, and the north direction shown by the compass sensor is not the geographical North direction but the north direction of the Earth's magnetic field. It certainly has a very influential effect on the accuracy of compass sensors in determining the direction of Qibla. The north direction produced by the compass sensor can be converted into the geographical north by adding a magnetic declination correction value. This study aims to analyze the effect of magnetic declination correction on the accuracy of compass sensors on android phones in determining qibla direction. The type of research used is a type of field research with a quantitative approach. In this study, observation was done by comparing the qibla direction of the android compass sensor with the qibla direction of a theodolite. The study showed that qibla direction measurement using android compass sensor with magnetic declination correction of angle difference (deviation) of 03° 55' 0.055" or 437.6815289 km, against qibla direction of the theodolite.

Zodiacal light is a night sky phenomenon that can occur before or after dusk. Additionally, zodiacal light is referred to as false dawn (fajar kadzib) or false dusk. Zodiacal light is emitted by the dust leftovers of asteroids, comets, and other extraterrestrial objects colliding along the planet Mercury's orbit to Mars. This remaining material orbits the Sun in the same direction as the four planets. When the Sun illuminates the leftover dust, it appears as a zodiacal light in the hemisphere that experiences dawn or dusk. By using linear fittings we detect the presence of zodiacal light on the light curve of the night skybrightness. The Observations were made using a digital camera and SQM. From a number of observational data obtained at six locations, it shows that there is an identical linear pattern. From this linear model, it can be seen that the zodiacal light has been observed since the sun's position at -60 degrees below the horizon. Recognizing the presence of the zodiacal light is very important to know the time of the appearance of true dawn which is the beginning of the time for the dawn prayer.
