Authors: Rinee Khanna  , Saumya Navit  , Suleman A Khan
Published: November 2020

Immature roots with necrotic pulps in young permanent teeth are characterized by wide root canals with open apex and thin walls. Treatment of such teeth poses a great challenge. Traditionally such teeth were treated by apexification using calcium hydroxide and more recently by apical barrier technique using MTA apical plug. It is advised to use a resorbable and biocompatible apical matrix in cases involving MTA for careful condensation of the material in the apical region. This case report presents a successful outcome of apexification with the combined use of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as an apical barrier and collagen membrane as an internal matrix.

CONSTRUCTING THE PARAMETRIC FAILURE FUNCTION OF THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM OF INDUCTION CRUCIBLE FURNACES
Authors: Demin Dmitriy
Published: November 2020

The objects of the study were diagnostic features that allow determining the quality of controlling temperature modes of induction crucible melting. For this, in the normalized space of feature factors, which are the content of SiO2 and FeO+Fe2O3 in slag, a discriminant function is constructed and a decision rule is obtained in the form of a linear classifier, which allows determining in which mode the process was carried out. It is shown that this rule is the basis for identifying an event qualified as a parametric failure, and it can be included in the general structure of the parametric failure function.
The parametric failure function constructed for the temperature control system of induction crucible melting makes it possible to ascertain that the control system does not meet the specified requirements for a specific temperature mode of melting. The mechanism of inferencing regarding the occurrence of a parametric failure based on this function is as follows. If the decision rule showed that the object belongs to the “low-temperature mode” class, although the process under these conditions should have been carried out in the high-temperature mode, a parametric failure is recorded. In this case, the numerical value of this function takes the value of “1”, otherwise – “0”. The inferencing mechanism works similarly if, on the basis of the decision rule, it is revealed that the process was carried out in the high-temperature mode, although under these conditions it should have been carried out in the low-temperature mode.
Based on the constructed parametric failure function, practical problems related to planning maintenance of the temperature control system integrated into the melting complex or organizational and technical measures aimed at minimizing violations of the melting regulations can be solved

Authors: Sheikus Anton , Kovalenko Vadym , Kotok Valerii , Levchuk Igor , Bilobrova Olena , Darovskih Larisa
Published: November 2020

The use of mobile control action allows the improvement of technical-economical characteristics of the rectification process and allows for operation regimes that can’t be achieved with traditional control approaches. Mobility lies in the ability to choose the movement law of compound source and energy in the spatial region of apparatus.
Mobile control over the rectification process can be realized by changing the column feed point. An optimal number of feed trays must be determined with consideration of cost and output performance, and also the quality of the target product.
The work aimed to develop a method for calculating optimal control action, including mobile ones, on the rectification process with additional account for the criterion of maximizing quality of target product, and also, comparison of static column profiles that are optimal by different criteria.
Mathematical modeling of the rectification column for separation of water-methanol mixture revealed that increasing quality requirements to target products decreases the number of the optimal feed tray. A method was described for process optimization by the normalized criterion that accounts for separation quality and power consumption. The method was used to determine optimal values of traditional (flows of heat into the column's cube and phlegm) and mobile (feed tray number) control actions that provide the best technical-economical parameters of the rectification column.
A proof is presented for the existence and uniqueness of solutions for this optimization problem and the effectiveness of using mobile actions for different requirements to target. The optimal temperature profile of the culms was studied and their characteristic features that correspond to different specific and normalized optimization criteria were found

Authors: Fomin Oleksij , Lovska Alyona , Safronov Oleksandr , Soroka Olena
Published: November 2020

To increase the efficiency of combined transportation, the supporting structure of flat wagon has been created. A feature of the wagon is that the sections have a low center of gravity. This solution allows for the transportation of oversized cargo on a flat wagon within the established dimensions. The design of this flat wagon can be used for the carriage of goods not only by main lines, but also in rail and water traffic when transported by rail ferries. To ensure the safety of transportation of a flat wagon with containers on a railway ferry, their dynamic loading was determined. It is taken into account that a large-capacity container of 1AA standard size is placed on each section. The solution of the mathematical model was carried out in the MathCad software package. The resulting accelerations, as components of the dynamic load, were taken into account when determining the stability of a container on a flat wagon during transportation by a rail ferry. It was found that the stability of the container is ensured at tilt angles up to 25°. A computer simulation of the dynamic loading of the supporting structure of an articulated flat wagon with containers during transportation by a railway ferry has been carried out. The calculation is implemented in the CosmosWorks software package using the finite element method. The fields of distribution of accelerations relative to the supporting structure of the flat wagon and containers are determined. The maximum percentage of discrepancy between the results of mathematical and computer simulation does not exceed 11 %. The research carried out will contribute to the creation of innovative designs of flat wagons, as well as to increase the efficiency of the operation of combined transport in international traffic
STRESS ANALYSIS SIMULATIONS OF WELDED AND BOLTED JOINTS METHOD FOR FULL STEEL AND COMPOSITE-STEEL CHASSIS STRUCTURE OF ELECTRIC LOW FLOOR MEDIUM BUS
Authors: Sudirja Sudirja , Hapid Abdul , Amin Amin , Kaleg Sunarto , Budiman Alexander Christantho
Published: November 2020

Stress analysis of welded steel-to-steel, bolted steel-to-steel, and bolted composite-steel chassis in an electric low floor medium bus structure is presented in this paper. The analysis was carried out on the condition that is when the bus is full of load in idle/static. This condition reflects the situation of the vehicle in full load with passengers and components, which is important to be analyzed to anticipate the unwanted structural failure of the chassis. Finite Element Method (Harmonic response simulation) is used to investigate the structural behavior of both welded and bolted methods. Several parameters such as 2 Hertz for the maximum frequency, 5000 kg for the total vehicle weight, and the uniform distribution of load are used for this study to simulate the simplified, real application in the real world. The first comparison is between the welded and bolted steel-to-steel chassis which results in the bolted method has a lower stress value by the difference of 4.3 MPa in the joint section than the welded joint. This means that the bolted joint is more recommended than welded for the use as an electric low floor medium bus and has the potential to be optimized further. In terms of reducing the weight of the chassis structure, then lightweight material (carbon fiber composite) is used to replace the full steel chassis to be a composite-steel chassis. The use of this hybrid material depicts the stress value of 61.5 MPa in the joint area, this value is still far below the limit of carbon fiber that is 3200 MPa makes this bolted composite-steel is considerably safe in full load condition as an electric low floor medium bus structure. Using this hybrid bolted composite-steel chassis structure also reduces the total chassis weight by about 22.7 % compared to the full steel chassis structure, thus one could expect to extend the mileage of electric vehicles by more than 20 %

Authors: Belice Tahir , Çiftçi Dilan , Demir Ismail , Yüksel Arif
Published: November 2020

The aim: this study presents a Coronavirus Stigma Scale for Healthcare Providers that indicates the social stigmatisation rate and severity toward healthcare providers to a certain extent. This paper aims at raising awareness on the stigmatisation of healthcare providers who sacrifice their own lives for patients diagnosed or are at risk of being infected with COVID-19. Methods: the study uses a 12-item 5-point Likert-type Coronavirus Stigma Scale for Healthcare Providers, which was constructed based on the previously shortened and modified HIV Stigma Scale. The scale was distributed online to healthcare providers, and all the results obtained were then saved to an Excel file. Correlations were determined by using ANOVA and the independent t-test. Percentages, averages, figures and rates were calculated with SPSS. Results: the population of the study comprised 136 participants in total; 40 male and 96 female. Reliability and validity studies were conducted using Cronbach’s alpha and factor analysis. The stigmatisation rate toward healthcare providers was found to be significantly high, and the stigmatisation level was found to increase significantly with increasing age (p<0.05). Conclusions: the mistreatment of stigmatised healthcare providers during a pandemic where the need for them is elevated results in adverse outcomes; therefore, anti-stigma programmes need to be developed. It would be wise to find solutions such as acknowledging the stigma and introducing anti-stigma programmes.

Authors: Hordiei Karyna , Gontova Tetiana , Gaponenko Valentina
Published: November 2020

The search for new sources of biologically active substances is an actual issue of pharmaceutical science. Feverfew is a prospective member of the Tanacetum genus. Recently an interest to this plant has grown. Sesquiterpene lactones and phenolic compounds are known to be cause its anti-inflammatory and antimigraine activity. The study of volatile compounds and chemosystematics of the feverfew in this group of BAS has not been conducted before. The aim of the research was to obtain the volatile oil from the feverfew herb, studying of the component composition, an identification of compounds, that can be used for chemosystematics of the genus and establishing of the pharmacological activity according to the chemical content of volatile oil. Materials and methods. The object of research was the samples of the feverfew herb grown and collected in the period of its mass flowering. The volatile oil obtained by steam distillation from the feverfew herb was studied using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Results. The comparative characteristic of the representatives of the genus Tanacetum according to chemosystematic features was carried out. As a result of the research of the volatile oil 44 compounds were found, from which 40 were identified. According to the research, the raw material contained 34.71 % of camphor, this is a typical feature of all species of the genus Tanacetum. Fenchyl acetate was identified in a high enough content – 7,44 % in the domestic raw material, but this compound was not identified in the foreign samples. Chrysanthenyl acetate is accumulated in representatives of the genus Tanacetum in the form of a cis or trans isomer. In our study, the content of trans-chrysanthene acetate was 23.30 %. In the domestic raw materials, monoterpenes – α- and β- thujone – were not identified, which are associated with the toxicity of the raw material. Conclusions. In the volatile oil 44 compounds were found, from which 40 were identified. Monoterpenes prevailed among terpenes, namely camphor, trans-chrysanthenyl acetate and fenchyl acetate, which are typical and can be used for chemosystematic issues of the genus Tanacetum. The identified compounds require anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antispasmodic, analgesic activities of the volatile oil, therefore creation of the medicinal herbal remedy based on the volatile oil of the feverfew herb is prospective.

Published: November 2020

The study was designed to understand the relationship between school gardens and student’s self-efficacy and its effect on weekly intake of fruits and vegetables. The survey used two Ugandan secondary schools; one having a well-established school garden with all students having equal opportunities to participate in the growing, harvesting and consumptions of fruits and vegetables, another not.  The study followed a cross-sectional study design employing quantitative research methods. The target population comprised of late adolescents 18-22 years attending the two-selected secondary school; one in Kampala and another in Luwero districts. The school in Luwero district engaged students in gardening activities while the school in Kampala did not. Self-administered structured questionnaire was given to students to answer questions in line with the specific objectives.  Data was analyzed by using Mann Whitney U test, Pearson Rank Correlation, Odds ratio and test of proportion. The mean ages of the girls and boys in the school exposed to gardening activities were 19.10±1.4 and 19.2±2.86 respectively while those for students in the unexposed school were   18.62±1.21 and 19.11±1.29 respectively. The study had more males (56.3%) than females (43.7%). Neither group met the World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommendation of ≥35 servings per week (≥5 servings per day) for both fruits and vegetables consumption. However, the exposed students had more weekly servings of fruits and vegetables (P>0.05) and had higher self-efficacy towards dietary intake of fruits and vegetables (P=0.007). School garden based intervention can significantly improve student’s self-efficacy towards fruit & vegetable dietary intake increasing the weekly consumption of fruits and vegetables.  The findings of the study will inform policy makers on the role of school gardens in enhancing fruit and vegetable intake by in-school adolescents as they develop the Uganda’s school health policy.

Published: November 2020

Background: Dynamic exercises are known to elicit hemodynamic changes such as an increase in arterial blood pressure and heart rate. Zumba and ZOCA are part of a fast growing group of dance fitness programmes designed to provide a cardiovascular dynamic workout. Despite their growing popularity, very few studies have been done to provide knowledge regarding the hemodynamic changes associated with these exercises. Methods: Case study in which 27 females took part in either a Zumba or ZOCA class. Using digital blood pressure monitors, recordings of blood pressure and heart rate were taken, firstly, before commencement of the exercise, secondly, after 30 minutes after exercise and thirdly, at the end of the class.Results: Mean baseline blood pressures were 118 (SD = 14) mmHg and 77 (SD = 7) mmHg, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively. After 30 minutes of dancing, mean systolic blood pressure increased to 130 (SD = 19) mmHg (p˂ 0.05) while diastolic blood pressureonly rose to an average of 80 (SD = 8) mmHg (p˃ 0.05). At the end of the class (after the cool down phase) mean systolic blood pressure reduced to 109 (SD = 13) mmHg (p˂0.05) while diastolic blood pressure reduced to 74(SD = 12) mmHg (p˂ 0.05). Conclusions: Zumba and ZOCA elicited significant hemodynamic changes that can be attributed to these exercises stimulating the cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms (e.g central command and exercise-pressor) sufficiently and hence resulting in autonomic adjustmentsthat were concurrent with effective dynamic exercise.

O novo Corona vírus (Covid-19) é uma doença causada pelo SARS-CoV-2. É caracterizado por uma infecção que acomete principalmente o sistema respiratório. O quadro clínico do indivíduo pode variar de leve a moderado, e quadros graves, onde nesse caso pode ocorrer síndrome respiratória grave levando a inúmeras complicações. Por se tratar de uma doença de fácil contágio (gotículas de saliva, aperto de mãos, objetos/superfícies contaminadas), com isso, medidas de saúde como o distanciamento social, medidas de isolamento, detecção dos casos e quarentena, estão desempenhando um papel essencial levando a uma redução significativa no número de infectados. Com isso o objetivo do grupo virtual é levar informações válidas de como os idosos devem lidar com a quarentena e as medidas que devem ser tomadas para evitar contaminação por Covid-19.

Has the AfD changed German politics
Authors: Ziemer Klaus
Published: November 2020

The entry of the AfD to the Bundestag marks a new stage in German politics. This article traces the origins of this right-wing populist party against the background of extreme rightwing parties in post-war Germany. It analyses the main precepts of the party’s programme and its activity in parliaments on the regional (Länder) level. A look at where AfD-voters are coming from reveals a long-term trend of a weakening alignment between voters and parties and a growing fragmentation of the German party system.

Czym jest sakralny wymiar natury? Filozoficzna interpretacja twórczości Friedricha Hölderlina w dziełach Romano Guardiniego
Authors: Kobyliński Andrzej
Published: November 2020

Głównym celem artykułu jest prezentacja sakralnego charakteru natury, analizowanej przez Romano Guardiniego (1885–1968) w opracowaniach filozoficznych poświęconych interpretacji twórczości Friedricha Hölderlina (1770–1843). Guardini prowadził swoje badania nad twórczością Hölderlina na gruncie filozofii religii. Twierdził, że w wierszach i poematach tego wybitnego myśliciela i poety szczególną rolę odgrywa natura rozumiana jako przestrzeń, w której zamieszkuje sacrum. W twórczości literackiej Hölderlina jest obecna nowa forma religijności postchrześcijańskiej, która polega na reinterpretacji symboli chrześcijańskich i metamorfozie fenomenu religijnego z rzeczywistości obiektywnej w różnorodne formy zindywidualizowane.

Najnowsza książka Mariana Grabowskiego może zostać zakwalifikowana do tzw. filozofii biblijnej, czyli nurtu filozoficznego odczytywania tekstu biblijnego i interpretowania jego znaczenia przy użyciu kategorii filozoficznych. Jednocześnie publikacja ta podejmuje także problematykę z zakresu filozofii przyrody z racji wyraźnie obecnych w niej prób filozoficznego uchwycenia i przedstawienia istoty rzeczywistości materialnej. Autor pracy w ten właśnie sposób zmierzył się z początkowym fragmentem biblijnej Księgi Rodzaju (Rdz 1,1–10), chcąc ustalić i ukazać głębię znaczenia tego tekstu, jego filozoficzne konotacje, a także dokonać jego reinterpretacji w świetle kategorii filozoficznych wyodrębnionych na gruncie matematyczno-fizykalnego obrazu świata.

Background:

Vegetable oil is widely used for frying food, especially palm oil. Repeated
use of cooking oil is often unavoidable. Frying is known to change cis unsaturated fatty acids into
trans. However, the effects of repeated frying of olive oil compared to palm oil is still not widely
known.

Objective:

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of repeated frying of palm oil and
olive oil on survival rate and blood glucose pattern in mice.

Methods:

There were 39 adult male mice divided into 3 groups: control (n=12), palm (n=13), and
olive (n=14). Control group was given oral gavage of water during research. Palm and olive oils
were given in palm and olive groups. Before given to mice, palm and olive oils were used for
frying sweet potatoes 5 times then given to mice for 4 weeks. At the beginning and after treatment,
fasting blood glucose (FBG), the 2 hours postprandial oral glucose tolerance test (2-h OGTT)
blood glucose level were measured and then area under the curve (AUC) was also calculated.

Palm and olive oils were given in palm and olive groups. Before given to mice, palm and olive oils were used to fry sweet potatoes 5 times then given to mice for 4 weeks. At the beginning and after treatment, fasting blood glucose (FBG), the 2 hours postprandial of oral glucose tolerance test (2-h OGTT) blood glucose level were measured and then area under the curve (AUC) was also calculated.

Results:

After 4 weeks of treatment, there were 9 mice that remained alive in the control group, 9
mice in the palm group, and 11 mice in the olive group. The survival rate was 75% in the control
group, 69.23% in the palm group, and 78.57% in the olive group. Weight gain was significantly different
between pre and post in the control and olive groups (p=0.009; p=0.004). FBG level increased
significantly in the palm group compared to the control group (P<0.05). The 2-h OGTT glucose
level increased significantly compared to pre in the control group (p=0.004) and olive group
(p=0.000). AUC of the olive group increased significantly compared to the control group
(p=0.0039).

Conclusion:

Consumption of olive oil which is fried repeatedly and given for 4 weeks shows a better
survival rate than palm oil.
New Hybrid Method for Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Assessment from Radionuclide Ventriculography Images
Authors: Dziri Halima , Cherni Mohamed Ali , Ben-Sellem Dorra
Published: November 2020

Background:

In this paper, we propose a new efficient method of radionuclide ventriculography
image segmentation to estimate the left ventricular ejection fraction. This parameter is an
important prognostic factor for diagnosing abnormal cardiac function.

Methods:

The proposed method combines the Chan-Vese and the mathematical morphology algorithms.
It was applied to diastolic and systolic images obtained from the Nuclear Medicine Department
of Salah AZAIEZ Institute. In order to validate our proposed method, we compare the obtained
results to those of two methods present in the literature. The first one is based on mathematical
morphology, while the second one uses the basic Chan-Vese algorithm. To evaluate the quality
of segmentation, we compute accuracy, positive predictive value and area under the ROC curve.
We also compare the left ventricle ejection fraction estimated by our method to that of the reference
given by the software of the gamma-camera and validated by the expert, using Pearson’s correlation
coefficient, ANOVA test and linear regression.

Results:

Static results show that the proposed method is very efficient for the detection of the left
ventricle. The accuracy was 98.60%, higher than that of the other two methods (95.52% and
98.50%).

Conclusion:

Likewise, the positive predictive value was the highest (86.40% vs. 83.63% 71.82%).
The area under the ROC curve was also the most important (0.998% vs. 0.926% 0.919%). On the
other hand, Pearson's correlation coefficient was the highest (99% vs. 98% 37%). The correlation
was significantly positive (p<0.001).
Chitosan Nanoparticles: An Approbative System for the Delivery of Herbal
Bioactives

:

Chitosan, a natural biodegradable polymer obtained from deacetylation of chitin, has been used as an approbative macromolecule for the development of various novel drug delivery systems. It is one of the most favorable biodegradable carriers for nanoparticulate drug delivery due to its intrinsic properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, availability of free reactive amino groups, and ease of chemical modification into different active derivatives. Furthermore, interesting physical properties (film-forming, gelling and thickening) make it a suitable candidate for formulations, such as films, microcapsules, beads, nanoparticles, nanofibres, nanogel and so on. Researchers have reported that chitosan nanoparticles act as a promising vehicle for herbal actives as they provide a superior alternative to traditional carriers and improve pharmaceutical efficiency. As no review of chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating herbal extracts and bioactives has been published till date, a maiden effort has been made to collate and review the use of chitosan nanoparticles for the entrapment of phytoconstituents to yield stable, efficient and safe drug delivery systems. Additionally, the paper presents a comprehensive account of the state-of the-art in fabricating herbal chitosan nanoparticles and their current pharmacological status. A list of patents on chitosan nanoparticles of herbal actives has also been included. This review is intended to serve as a didactic discourse for the formulation scientists endeavoring to develop advanced delivery systems for herbal actives.
Parent Experiences With Electronic Medication Monitoring in Pediatric Asthma Management: Qualitative Study (Preprint)

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND

Electronic medication monitoring (EMM) is a digital tool that can be used for tracking daily medication use. Previous studies of EMM in asthma management have been conducted in adults or have examined pediatric interventions that use EMM for less than 1 year. To understand how to improve EMM-enhanced interventions, it is necessary to explore the experiences of parents of children with asthma, recruited from outpatient practices, who completed a 12-month intervention trial.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to use qualitative inquiry to answer the following questions: (1) how did using an EMM-enhanced intervention change parents'/caregivers’ experiences of managing their child’s asthma, and (2) what do parents recommend for improving the intervention in the future?

METHODS

Parents were recruited from the intervention arm of a multicomponent health intervention enhanced by Bluetooth-enabled sensors placed on inhaler medications. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 parents of children aged 4-12 years with asthma. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and inductively analyzed using a constant comparative approach.

RESULTS

Interview participants reflected an even mix of publicly and privately insured children and a diverse racial-ethnic demographic. Parents discussed 6 key themes related to their experience with the EMM-enhanced intervention for the management of their child's asthma: (1) compatibility with the family's lifestyle, (2) impact on asthma management, (3) impact on the child’s health, (4) emotional impact of the intervention, (5) child’s engagement in asthma management with the intervention, and (6) recommendations for future intervention design. Overall, parents reported that the 12-month EMM intervention was compatible with their daily lives, positively influenced their preventive and acute asthma management, and promoted their child's engagement in their own asthma management. While parents found the intervention acceptable and generally favorable, some parents identified compatibility issues for families with multiple caregivers and frustration when the technology malfunctioned.

CONCLUSIONS

Parents generally viewed the intervention as a positive influence on the management of their child's asthma. However, our study also highlighted technology challenges related to having multiple caregivers, which will need to be addressed in future iterations for families. Attention must be paid to the needs of parents from low socioeconomic households, who may have more limited access to reliable internet or depend on other relatives for childcare. Understanding these family factors will help refine how a digital tool can be adopted into daily disease management of pediatric asthma.
FOCUS mHealth Intervention for Veterans With Serious Mental Illness in an Outpatient Department of Veterans Affairs Setting: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Usability Study (Preprint)

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND

Veterans with serious mental illnesses (SMIs) face barriers to accessing in-person evidence-based interventions that improve illness management. Mobile health (mHealth) has been demonstrated to be feasible, acceptable, effective, and engaging among individuals with SMIs in community mental health settings. mHealth for SMIs has not been tested within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

OBJECTIVE

This study examines the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of an mHealth intervention for SMI in the context of VA outpatient care.

METHODS

A total of 17 veterans with SMIs were enrolled in a 1-month pilot trial of FOCUS, a smartphone-based self-management intervention for SMI. At baseline and posttest, they completed measures examining symptoms and functional recovery. The participants provided qualitative feedback related to the usability and acceptability of the intervention.

RESULTS

Veterans completed on an average of 85.0 (SD 96.1) interactions with FOCUS over the 1-month intervention period. They reported high satisfaction, usability, and acceptability, with nearly all participants (16/17, 94%) reporting that they would recommend the intervention to a fellow veteran. Clinicians consistently reported finding mHealth-related updates useful for informing their care. Qualitative feedback indicated that veterans thought mHealth complemented their existing VA services well and described potential opportunities to adapt FOCUS to specific subpopulations (eg, combat veterans) as well as specific delivery modalities (eg, groups). In the 1-month period, the participants experienced small improvements in self-assessed recovery, auditory hallucinations, and quality of life.

CONCLUSIONS

The FOCUS mHealth intervention is feasible, acceptable, and usable among veterans. Future work should develop and examine VA-specific implementation approaches of FOCUS for this population.
