The Lehmann Type II Teissier Distribution
Authors: Kumaran V. , Jha Vishwa Prakash
Published: October 2023

In this work, a two-parameter continuous distribution, namely the Lehmann type II Teissier distribution is introduced. Some important properties including the Rényi entropy, Bonferroni curves, Lorenz curves and the exact information matrix of the proposed model are derived. Seven different techniques are being used for the estimation of parameters and a simulation is carried out to observe the maximum likelihood estimates. Interval estimates of the parameters are obtained using exact information matrix and bootstrapping techniques. Finally, to show the practical significance, three datasets related to COVID-19 and rainfall are modeled using the proposed model.
Asymptotic Predictive Inference of Negative Lower Tail Index Distributions
Authors: Aly Amany E.
Published: October 2023

In this paper, the results of El-Adll et al. [Asymptotic prediction for future observations of a random sample of unknown continuous distribution, Complexity 2022 (2022), Art. ID 4073799], are extended to the lower negative tail index distributions. Three distinct estimators of the lower negative tail index are proposed, as well as an asymptotic confidence interval. Moreover, different asymptotic predictive intervals for future observations are constructed for distributions attracted to the lower extreme value distribution with a negative tail index. Furthermore, the asymptotic maximum likelihood estimator (AMLE) of the shape parameter, as well as an asymptotic maximum likelihood predictor (AMLP), are obtained. Finally, extensive simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods.
Giant enhancement of second harmonic generation from monolayer 2D materials placed on photonic moiré superlattice
Authors: Ning Tingyin , Zhao Lina , Huo Yanyan , Cai Yangjian , Ren Yingying
Published: October 2023

We numerically investigate second harmonic generation (SHG) from a monolayer of 2D-material placed on photonic moiré superlattice fabricated by dielectric materials. The greatly enhanced local field at the resonance modes of moiré superlattice can dramatically boost the SHG response in 2D materials. Considering a typical 2D-material MoS2 monolayer placed on a photonic moiré superlattice of a twist angle 9.43°, the maximum SHG conversion efficiency reaches up to 10−1 at a relatively low intensity of fundamental light 1 kW/cm2, which is around 14 orders of magnitude larger than that from the monolayer placed on a flat dielectric slab without moiré superlattices. The SHG conversion efficiency from the monolayer can be further enhanced with the decrease of the twist angles of moiré superlattice due to the even more confinement of local field. The flat bands in the moiré superlattices formed by the small twist angles can particularly ensure the efficiency even under wide-angle illuminations. The results indicate that photonic moiré superlattice which can tightly confine light is a promising platform for efficient nonlinear optics.
Earthen Architecture in Southern Algeria: An Assessment of Social Values and the Impact of Industrial Building Practices
Authors: Ben Charif Haroune , Belakehal Azeddine , Zerari Sami
Published: October 2023

Earthen architecture constitutes a significant component of cultural heritage worldwide. However, this heritage is under threat due to a multitude of factors, including social, environmental, and economic changes. In South Algeria, earthen architecture is intimately linked to the identity of historic urban landscapes, particularly in Timimoun, the chief town of the gourara region. However, the shift towards industrial construction techniques and materials, encouraged by the state, has led to the abandonment of earthen houses and a neglect of traditional building culture. This poses questions about the evolving relationship between the inhabitants and their existing built environment in the context of changing social and economic conditions. To address this issue, we conducted an ethnographic study aimed to understand the significance and value of earthen architecture among local communities. Drawing on existing literature on the positive and negative views linked to earthen architecture, we employed a questionnaire to identify stakeholders’ preferences, choices, and attitudes towards this form of architecture. Through analysing the responses to the questionnaire, we have gained insight into the current state of earthen architecture and its significance. Our research findings provide valuable contributions to better comprehend the challenges faced by the preservation of earthen architecture and the cultural heritage it represents.
Tripartite entanglement and entanglement transfer in a hybrid cavity magnomechanical system
Authors: Li Ming-Cui , Chen Ai-Xi , Zeng Wei
Published: October 2023

We propose to realize bipartite and tripartite entanglements transfer in a cavity magnomechanical system consisting of a microwave cavity with an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and a silicon-nitride membrane in it. The initial magnon–YIG phonon entanglement and photon-membrane phonon entanglement caused by the magnetostrictive interaction and the optomechanical interaction can be effectively transferred to magnon–membrane phonon entanglement and photon–YIG phonon entanglement. Photon–magnon–YIG phonon and photon–magnon–membrane phonon entanglements can also be realized in the system. These two types of tripartite entanglements can be easily transferred from one type to the other by adjusting the detuning or dissipation ratio. Moreover, the bipartite and tripartite entanglements and their transfer are all robust against temperature. Furthermore, by introducing supermodes formed by the photon and magnon modes, we find that the entanglement between the two mechanical modes can be obtained under the condition of an extremely low temperature. And the effective detuning region of the YIG phonon-membrane phonon entanglement is complementary to the detuning regions of other bipartite entanglements. Our results indicate that the combination of cavity magnomechanical and optomechanical systems could provide more flexible controllability of bipartite and tripartite entanglements and their transfer and could serve as a potential quantum interface among microwave, magnon, and mechanical systems.
Dissolution of high burn-up spent nuclear fuel at high-pH
Authors: Iglesias Luis , Kokinda Jakub , Serrano-Purroy Daniel , Martínez-Torrents Albert , Casas Ignasi , de Pablo Joan , Clarens Frederic , Giménez Javier
Published: October 2023

The release of radionuclides from high-burnup spent nuclear fuel (SNF) segments was studied at pH = 13.2 as well as the effect of the presence of calcium and silicon. The aim was to ascertain the dissolution of SNF in solutions corresponding to a high-level nuclear waste repository including concrete in different structural parts. The release of uranium at pH = 13.2 was higher than at pH = 8.4 in bicarbonate medium, while the presence of calcium resulted in a decrease of the uranium concentrations in solutions, assumed to be the consequence of the formation of a secondary solid phase such as Ca2U2O7. Caesium release was found higher at pH = 13.2 as well, but it was not influenced by the presence of Ca and Si at long term. On the other hand, actinide elements (plutonium, neptunium and americium) dissolution decreased at pH = 13.2, probably because of the formation of secondary solid phases. On the contrary, ruthenium and technetium release at pH = 13.2 was found to be much higher than the measured at lower pH, perhaps due to the higher dissolution kinetics of the metallic inclusions at such pH.
Marx's Ideas on Work Organization: Reinvestigating the Conceptions of Cooperation, the Division of Labor, and Machinery
Authors: Ehara Kei
Published: October 2023

Harry Braverman's “degradation thesis” is only one aspect of Marx's analysis of the labor process. A close reading of Chapters 13 to 15 of Capital Vol. 1, based on English and Japanese preceding studies, shows a dual system of work organization under the capitalist mode of production: concentrated and dispersed. Today's information and communications (ICT)-based work organization could be seen as an example of the latter, i.e., an online-controlled putting-out system. The concentrated work organization has two types: the automation-oriented model consists of mechanized processes maintained by unskilled labor. In contrast, the craft-oriented model is a set of mechanized work that requires different kinds of skilled labor. These definitions urge us to reconsider the general law of capitalist accumulation and the traditional strategy regarding class struggle.
Germany and the future of German heavy weapons supplies to Ukraine
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Science, Sindeev Aleksey
Published: October 2023

The features of decision making in the Federal Republic of Germany on the supply of battle tanks to Ukraine are considered. Implementation of this decision until mid-February 2023 was analyzed. The factors that can influence Germany's position on the issue of sending new types of heavy weapons are identified and characterized. A hypothesis was formulated according to which Germany, most likely, will not supply new types of heavy weapons. This refusal to expand the range of supplies will hardly lead to reduction in supply of previously agreed types of weapons.

Parliamentary elections in Finland 2023
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Science, Plevako Natalia
Published: October 2023

The article analyzes results of the elections to the Finnish parliament, which took place on April 2, 2023, and possible variants of parliamentary unions. A paradoxical situation is outlined when, due to the so-called tactical voting, there was an outflow of votes from small parties to the leading trio, but due to impossibility of cooperation between Social Democrats and True Finns and lack of constructive dialogue between NCP and SPDF, the role of some small parties (primarily the Swedish People's Party) in formation of a stable majority government has dramatically increased. Finland, that has just abruptly reversed its foreign policy course (abandoning the neutrality and joining NATO), now risks entering the zone of internal instability.

This collective monograph is the result of research by historians, political scientists, and IR scholars from the IE RAS, the Higher School of Economics, the MGIMO, the Diplomatic Academy, the UrFU, as well as research institutions in Armenia, Bulgaria, and Serbia. Using the rich empirical material, it aims to demonstrate how different international actors use the resources of «soft power». Among the traditional ones are the activities of non-governmental and non-profit organizations, educational and scientific cooperation. Relatively new are the media and their development in the last decade, social networks, and e-diplomacy, all of which have significantly expanded as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The monograph also raises the important philosophical question what is true «soft power».

In the edited volume, three dimensions of the current ethnic poli- tics in European countries are studied: crisis and conflict potential, migration processes, and electoral aspects. The authors, who represent various scientific schools, consider ethnic politics an inherent part of the social dynamics in Europe. They combine qualitative and quantitative research methods and the methodological optics of Political Science, Economics, Anthropology, and Criminology, and focus on the issues of ethnicity actualization in the online extremist discourse, ethnic identification role in the escalation and settlement of political conflicts, reactions of the EU and Russian institutes to the influx of the «ethnic» migrants. Particular attention is paid to the role of ethnicity in electoral processes, especially to party formation and fraction-building, discursive dominants of ethnoregional parties, electoral activities of the indigenous peoples, and fragmentation of ethnic voting.
Sensible, latent heat and store energy fluxes in the suburban São Paulo Megacity: seasonal and interannual variations and empirical modeling
Authors: Rabelo Torres Flávia Dias , de Oliveira Amauri Pereira , da Silveira Lucas Cardoso
Published: October 2023

Half-hourly values of turbulent sensible (H) and latent (LE) heat fluxes, net radiation (𝑄∗) at the surface, and heat store in the canopy (𝛥𝑄𝑆) are used to characterize seasonal and interannual changes during three not-consecutive years (2009–12) in a suburban area (LCZ 6) of the megacity of São Paulo. Turbulent fluxes are estimated applying eddy covariance method to turbulence measurements performed with sampling rate of 10 Hz, between 25 and 26 m above the surface, and enforcing quality control procedures. The diurnal evolution of monthly average hourly values of 𝐻, 𝐿𝐸, 𝑄∗ and 𝛥𝑄𝑆 observed in 2012 indicate a seasonal variation with a daytime maximum with 𝐻 varying from a maximum of 180 ± 12 W m-2 in October to a minimum of 80.1 ± 9 W m2 in June, 𝐿𝐸 varying from a maximum of 152.0 ± 7.6 W m-2 in February to a minimum of 66.4 ± 7.6 W m-2 in September, -𝑄∗ varying from a maximum of 554 ± 14 W m-2 in February to a minimum of 369±13 W m-2 in July, and -𝛥𝑄𝑆 varying from a maximum of 249± 47 W m-2 in April to a minimum of 181 ± 58 W m-2 in July. Monthly average daily values of H, LE and 𝑄∗ corroborate seasonal pattern displayed by monthly average hourly values, with maximum of 5 ± 0.5 MJ m-2 day-1 for H and 5.3 ± 0.6 MJ m-2 day-1 for LE in November (summer), and minimum of 1.3 ± 0.2 MJ m-2 day-1 for H in June and 1.9 ± 0.2 MJ m-2 day-1 for LE in August. −𝑄∗ shows a maximum of 11.6 ± 1.1 MJ m2 day-1 in March and a minimum of 4.5±0.9 MJ m-2 day-1 in June. Similar patterns was observed during 2009 and 2010. An empirical model based on Modified Priestly-Taylor Method coupled to Objective Hysteresis Method was validated with observations carried out during May and June (2009–2010, 2012) and applied successfully to estimate monthly average hourly values of 𝐻, LE and 𝛥𝑄𝑆 during February–April and August–Novemb 2012.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through and Economic Openness Under Inflation Targeting Framework in Asian ITF Economies
Authors: Kurnia Akhmad Syakir , Sugiyanto FX
Published: October 2023

This study investigates overall ERPT in four ITF-adopting Asian Economies, emphasizing the trilemma between ERPT, economic openness, and the inflation target. Based on quarterly data observations from 1999 to the fourth quarter of 2022 with an application of combined distributed lag and adaptive expectation models that allows a fair assessment concerning ERPT throughout the time dimension, we reveal evidence that exchange rate changes will be transmitted immediately to increasing domestic prices in the short run. Similarly, increased interest policy, GDP, and trade openness will push consumer prices up in the short term through adaptive expectation mechanisms. However, the pass-through effect tends to decrease in the long run due to a credible ITF implementation. Meanwhile, the pass-through effect concerning trade openness varies across countries in the short run, while openness tends to increase pressures on consumer prices in the long run. This condition allows further investigation to examine the pass-through effect and its transmission to various prices, including prices, imports, export prices, economic structure, and the effect of fear of floating in the ITF.JEL Classification: E31, E52, E58, F31, F41

Published: October 2023

Background: The von Meyenburg complexes (VMC) are a rare clinicopathological entity. They are usually asymptomatic and are presented as multiple small-sized cystic liver lesions. Ultrasonography, CT and MRI are used for diagnosis.
Case report: A 74-years old female patient with previous oncologic surgeries was admitted to our department with clinical, laboratory and imaging findings of acute cholecystitis and cystic lesions in the liver. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy with liver biopsy was performed. Liver histology revealed bile duct hamartomas (von Meyenburg complexes).
Conclusion: VMC represent a diagnostic problem in patients with oncologic history because they are difficult to be distinguished from liver metastases.
DO WE RECOGNIZE RESTLESS GENITAL SYNDROME AND DO WE KNOW HOW TO TREAT IT?
Authors: Radeva T.
Published: October 2023

The following presentation introduces a case of a patient with the restless genital syndrome. This is a rare, usually undiagnosed condition, in which significant organ damage and/or dysfunction is absent, the finding is defined as functional and the patient is referred for treatment of his neurosis in a psychiatric practice. The complaints include feeling of arousal and tingling in the genital area, which is not accompanied by subjective sexual arousal and is a harrowing experience for the patient. Masturbation and sexual activity do not manage to affect the symptoms. Symptoms of restless leg syndrome are often involved too, which puts the hypothesis for a common etiology of both of the syndromes that is associated with the dopaminergic mediation. In the literature, there are individual cases of patients with the syndrome, who have been administrated treatment with pramipexole. The patient in the present case report has also undergone treatment with pramipexole and has been observed for a period of two years.

Published: October 2023

A method for the determination of Nε-(1-Carboxymethyl)-L-Lysine (CML) in brewing soy sauce was developed using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A mixed cation exchange solid phase extraction cartridge was used for purification, while gradient elution of a hydrophilic interaction chromatography column was performed with a 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile. The adding standard recovery rate of this method ranged from 86.94 to 92.61%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was between 3.69 and 6.18%. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.038 ng/mL, and the limit of quantification was 0.127 ng/mL. The RSD values of the repeatability test and the parallel test were 3.44 and 6.56%, respectively. Using this method, the CML contents determined in eight brewing soy sauce samples were 3.16 ± 0.18 – 15.10 ± 1.19 µg/mL. This method is simple, accurate, sensitive, and precise, and it is an effective method for monitoring the CML content in brewing soy sauce.

Socio-Economic Policy of Latvia: Assessment of Efficiency and Effectiveness
Authors: Tsaurkubule Zhanna , Zhukovskaya Catherine
Published: October 2023

The article presents a scientific and analytical review and defines the essence of the concept of social policy taking into consideration the authors’ version of separation of approaches to the definition of social policy at macro and micro levels, as well as in the context of its connection with economics. A system of indicators for evaluating performance of social policy was developed, and a methodology for evaluating its effectiveness based on a comparative analysis of the dynamics of changes in the main indicators of socio-economic development of Latvia was proposed. The research methodology is based on determining an integral indicator that aggregates eight main areas of socio- -economic policy measured using 32 indicators identified based on expert assessments. The study presents two different approaches to assessing the dynamics of changes in the main indicators of socio-economic development of Latvia for the period from 2010 to 2020. Analysis of the surveyed data showed extremely slow changes in the social well-being of Latvia’s residents, which, however, show positive dynamics, indicating an improvement in Latvia’s overall social policy. The results obtained can be used to monitor the effectiveness of the socio-economic policy (SEP) of Latvia and develop programmes to improve the welfare of the country’s residents.

Para isso, se distinguem as fantasias neurótica e perversa e analisa-se o modo como o engendramento do gozo é correlato à posição do objeto a e do sujeito dividido em cada uma delas. Além disso, se aprofunda, nas relações do supereu com a fantasia do perverso, sádico ou masoquista, o que demonstra suas particularidades. Conclui-se, então, pela importância da clínica e do diagnóstico diferencial nos estudos acerca do supereu.
Do Congresso Psicanalítico da Banana à cisão de 1998: deslocamentos traumáticos no lacanismo brasileiro1
Authors: Kyrillos Neto Fuad
Published: October 2023

O manuscrito tem como objetivo uma reflexão sobre as rupturas na história das instituições de psicanálise lacaniana brasileiras. Tomou-se como base o Congresso Psicanalítico da Banana e a cisão de 1998 da Escola Brasileira de Psicanálise, eventos precursores do lacanismo brasileiro, que ainda reverberam na relação entre analistas. Documentos institucionais e discursos dos analistas partícipes desses eventos foram analisados adotando a temporalidade como característica fulcral da historiografia. Procedeu-se a uma análise histórica em direção êmica a partir do conceito de trauma articulado com as suas formas clínicas de apresentação. Concluiu-se que, no campo psicanalítico, prevalece uma política de identidade com seus aspectos de subordinação e identificação a grupos visando a hegemonia no interior do campo.

Resumo O uso intensivo das plataformas da internet estabelece novos olhares para a função sociopolítica das mídias. Este artigo se detém sobre as possibilidades de ações mobilizadoras de cidadãos em torno de questões relacionadas aos conflitos entre sociedade e natureza. Usamos o conceito de net-ativismo (DI FELICE, 2012), com suas características de ação em rede online, e temos como objetivo destacar o papel das plataformas online de encaminhamento de petições públicas da Avaaz.org e Change.org – as duas mais acessadas no Brasil, em torno de reinvindicações socioambientais. Após o aporte dos marcos teóricos, descrevemos as plataformas e selecionamos 22 campanhas para realizar uma análise interpretativa, a partir dos argumentos utilizados para reivindicações e lutas, seguindo uma tipologia proposta por Castells (2018). Ao final, é possível entender, mesmo que parcialmente, o papel do ativismo socioambiental em torno de petições online.
Youth, science and notions about the truth: consumption for scientific information by high school students from public schools in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Souza Lumárya , Oliveira Thaiane Moreira de , Melo Maria Elizabeth
Published: October 2023

Abstract Addressing scientific disinformation has been a major concern worldwide. Recognizing the intersubjective processes of relationships of trust established in the midst of disputes over scientific information, this article presents the results of an exploratory study with young high schoolers from public schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro, seeking to understand their media consumption habits on science and how they establish trust about the actors that produce scientific information. The findings of this research point out that young people value individual freedom values, for relations of recognition of scientific and professorial authority – only if they are dialogical –, distrustful about the media and search for greater participation when social conflicts stem from non-recognition.

Abstract This study performed a statistical analysis of the repercussions of a project concerning science popularization (SP) during the first 14 months of execution in a Brazilian public university. The metrics used were the results achieved from posts of 95 videos disseminating scientific research on the institution’s Facebook page. The objective was to verify the dialogical potential of the project while considering that social media increase the possibilities for public participation. Analyses included general descriptive data (means, minima, maxima, and standard deviations), Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and clusters’ formation. Among the main results, we verified that the published videos can be divided into five clusters, which differ by the level of interaction/reach. The research themes, text, and video strategies used in the posts modulate the potential for interaction with the public. The results are helpful for the future planning of SP actions.
From Malba Tahan to Mello e Souza: the construction of an identity (1923-1938)
Authors: Porto Ana Gomes
Published: October 2023

Abstract This article aims to establish the parallels between the changes that occurred at the end of the 1920s concerning teaching mathematics in Brazil and the fictional production of Júlio Cézar de Mello e Souza (Malba Tahan). The period chosen for analysis is circumscribed between the beginning of the 1920s and the publication of O homem que calculava in 1938. It is assumed that Malba Tahan appears before the writer Mello e Souza, which means an “Arab” writer. The process of identification with the pseudonym was gradual. There were doubts about the authorship at the time of the publication of the first short stories. In 1938, it was already known to everyone that Malba Tahan was the pseudonym of Mello e Souza. Therefore, we intend to work with two aspects. One focuses on how Mello e Souza has positioned himself as a fiction writer. The other consists of his activity as an educator and the reflections in his fictional production, especially in the work O homem que calculava. Both start from the assumption that there was a process of identity construction before the public.
Qual família e qual comunidade? Reconfigurações da Medicina de Família e Comunidade na saúde suplementar

Published: October 2023

Resumo Trata-se de um estudo cartográfico que buscou analisar a atuação de médicos(as) de família e comunidade na Atenção Primária da saúde suplementar, realizado por meio de diários e entrevistas cartográficas entre março de 2021 e janeiro de 2022, processados semanalmente em reuniões de pesquisa. Tal estudo se deu com base nos analisadores: ‘território’, ‘família’ e ‘comunidade’. Notou-se que a territorialização e a abordagem familiar ganham outros contornos na Medicina de Família e Comunidade praticada na saúde suplementar. Além disso, verificou-se que algumas das ferramentas típicas da Atenção Básica - como visita domiciliar, educação em saúde, genograma, ecomapa e vigilância em saúde - não eram utilizadas na atenção suplementar ou tiveram outras aplicabilidades dissonantes do modelo preconizado. Concluiu-se que a Medicina de Família e Comunidade na saúde suplementar se aproxima de uma atuação mais clínica, com perda da potência das linhas de força que constituem tal especialidade, tendendo a uma medicina menos familiar e comunitária.

Resumo A resolutividade relaciona-se à capacidade de solução dos problemas de saúde nos serviços. Em 1999, o Subsistema de Atenção à Saúde Indígena foi integrado ao Sistema Único de Saúde no Brasil, passando a seguir os seus princípios e diretrizes. Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar e mapear os desafios ou problemas relacionados às práticas em saúde para a resolutividade no Subsistema de Saúde Indígena após a integração. Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo que utilizou seis bases de dados nacionais e internacionais. Os estudos elegíveis tiveram como critério base o mnemônico PCC (P: população indígena; C: desafios ou problemas para a resolutividade; C: subsistema de saúde indígena brasileiro). Foram encontrados 1.748 estudos e selecionados 33, com predomínio de estudos qualitativos. Os desafios ou problemas sensíveis para o processo da resolutividade foram encontrados nos aspectos que tangem à educação em saúde, à interculturalidade, ao acesso universal e aos recursos em gestão. O saber tradicional é pouco valorizado pelo sistema de saúde. A deficiência de recursos humanos e materiais, a falta de efetiva educação permanente e de capacitações para trabalhar no contexto intercultural produzem barreiras de acesso e comprometem a resolutividade nos serviços, aumentando assim as iniquidades em saúde.
Subgingival microbiota and immune response modulation of osseointegrable implants

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Osseointegrable dental implants are biomaterials made of titanium or other alloys mixed with titanium, which have high biocompatibility and allow osseointegration. However, this process can be modulated by changes in the complex mechanisms between microbiota, immune response and host. The present study aims to present how the immune system-microbiota-host interaction influences the osseointegration process of titanium dental implants and its alloys. A literature review was performed through electronic and manual searches in several databases, including PubMed, LILACS, Google Scholar, SciELO and Web of Science for articles published in the last 20 years in English and Portuguese. The formation of a temporary fibrin matrix on the implants surface after implantation implies the recruitment, adhesion and activity of immune cells at this site, with the release of pro-inflammatory molecules and recruitment of neutrophils. In the second moment, monocytes and macrophages (M1) are recruited, producing, in this step, reactive oxygen species. In the later stage of inflammation, macrophages (M2) help in tissue regeneration with expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, the implants surface provides a site for microbial colonization mediated by salivary pellicle and topographical features. Thus, in symbiosis the modulation of the immune response will be favorable to osseointegration. However, the dysbiotic process exacerbates the inflammatory progression modulating the immune response influencing abnormal tissue healing or scar and fibrosis formation, compromising osseointegration. Different conditions of the subgingival microbiota will influence different immunological cascades, generating different cellular responses and positive or negative modulation of the osseointegration process.

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the demographic characteristics of physical education professionals, their knowledge on dental trauma, and related first aid management. It is well known that physical activities may pose dental trauma risks, and urgent care is essential to minimize damages. Methods: Exploratory research with descriptive nature and quantitative approach. The sample was selected by convenience and comprised 31 physical education professionals. A structured questionnaire developed on Google Forms® system was sent to the participants. The collected data were organized and analyzed. Results: Among the total sample, only 5 (16.1%) had information on the subject. When asked about specific actions to manage dental trauma, only few participants stated to the most appropriate approach. Conclusion: There is a widespread lack of knowledge on dental trauma and the correct and immediate management of such injuries. As these injuries occur frequently in the target population of their daily work, this lack of preparation can hinder and undermine the work of the dentist and cause irreversible harm to the victims.

Dissensualidades e ruinações nos modos de habitar/ocupar espaços da cidade
Authors: Caetano Kati , Rigoni Filho Júlio César
Published: October 2023

Resumo Parte-se do pressuposto de articulação entre estética e política, na esteira de autores que concebem a política como uma partilha do sensível. Essa partilha baseia-se em consensualidades e dissensualidades; a primeira pela categorização tradicional de lugares, saberes e competências no seio da sociedade, a segunda pela desestabilização dessas posições pré-estabelecidas e justificadoras de valores estereotipados e condutas autoritárias. Na contramão dessas posturas, o dissensualismo expõe danos sob a forma de ruinações, concebidas como destroços arrastados de uma estrutura colonial em contínuas e variantes manifestações. A sistematização e compreensão desses processos constituem o objetivo de nossas pesquisas, aqui recortadas pela abordagem de duas condições: a de moradores de rua sob viadutos na cidade de São Paulo, tal como midiatizados por expressões do fotojornalismo, e a da aglomeração de usuários de drogas nas regiões que configuram a chamada Cracolândia da região central de São Paulo. Sobre o primeiro conjunto de imagens destaca-se o olhar sensível de Eduardo Anizelli e, no segundo, as perspectivas críticas de Danilo Verpa e Daniel Arroyo. Abordados como experiências de espacialidade manifestadas em topografia estética, os empíricos delineiam uma percepção igualitária do outro como ser humano afetado socialmente em suas formas de vida.
