Authors: Kosali Ahmad Yani
Published: November 2022

Program Bantuan Langsung Sementara Masyarakat (BLSM) sebagai kompensasi kenaikan harga Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) bukan merupakan solusi jangka panjang untuk mengurangi kemiskinan tetapi merupakan solusi jangka pendek untuk menghindari masyarakat miskin agar tidak menjual asset, berhenti sekolah, dan mengurangi konsumsi makanan yang bergizi. Sasaran program ini adalah rumah tangga dengan tingkat sosial ekonomi terendah yang terdapat dalam basis data terpadu Pendataan Program Perlindungan Sosial (PPLS) tahun 2014. Pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk mengetahui pelaksanaan program BLSM tersebut, khususnya di Desa Bubusan Kecamatan Jejawi Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ilir, yang menggambarkan fakta-fakta yang terjadi sebagaimana adanya, serta menganalisa kebenarannya berdasarkan data yang diperoleh. Adapun hasil pengabdian masyarakat ini, ditemukan bahwa Program BLSM belum berjalan dengan baik. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah masih belum mampunya Sumber Daya Manusia / Petugas Pelaksana Program tersebut dalam menjalankan tugasnya, mulai dari sisi pendataan hingga penyaluran bantuan tersebut

Kampung Lawang Seketeng merupakan kampung tertua di Surabaya yang memiliki nilai sejarah bagi bangsa Indonesia karena di dalamnya terdapat rumah masa kanak-kanak Presiden pertama RI, Ir. Soekarno. Pada akhir tahun 2019, Pemerintah Kota Surabaya telah melakukan penataan dan rekonstruksi pada Kampung Lawang Seketeng yang bertujuan agar kampung tersebut dapat menjadi destinasi wisata bersejarah (heritage) di Surabaya. Sayangnya, hingga pertengahan tahun 2020, jumlah kunjungan wisatawan domestik maupun mancanegara tidak mengalami peningkatan. Meskipun pada awal peresmian, memang terjadi lonjakan jumlah wisatawan, namun seiring dengan berjalannya waktu, kunjungan wisatawan semakin sedikit dan berkurang bahkan terkadang tidak ada pengunjung sama sekali walaupun di akhir pekan atau saat hari libur nasional. Identifikasi masalah utama sebagai temuan dari hasil riset yang dilakukan adalah belum digunakannya media sosial sebagai media promosi akibat ketidakpahaman Pengurus Wisata Kampung Lawang Seketeng akan manajemen pengelolaan akun media sosial. Untuk itu, perlu dilakukan pembuatan akun media sosial dan video profil yang kemudian diunggah dalam media sosial tersebut untuk memperkenalkan nilai sejarah kampung ini secara global. Selain itu, perlu dilakukan pelatihan mengenai pengelolaan media sosial sebagai sarana promosi termasuk tips dan trik untuk membuat konten media sosial lebih menarik dan diminati.

Authors: Lomotos King Daveric , Marahatta Sujan Babu , Boucher Faith
Published: November 2022

Background - This study is to assess the effectiveness of Nepal’s COVID-19 disease response in the first wave and second wave (01/28/2020-06/28/21) by inspecting the trajectory of morbidity (cases) and mortality (deaths) peaks after the implementation of key COVID-19 interventions shown through constructing graphs utilizing Nepal’s COVID-19 daily situation reports. Objectives - This study aims to highlight the notable mistakes of Nepal's COVID-19 interventions and policies to provide possible recommendations through Covid-19 Nepal Preparedness and Response Plan in April 2021 to improve their disease response policies and interventions, preparing the country against future pandemics. Methods - A retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate contextual information using scholarly and grey literature in Google Scholar to help understand what occurred in Nepal within and before the peaks. Result - Although, Nepal's disease response was effective and swift in the beginning months shown from the daily cases and mortalities were as high as 24 and 0 per day, respectively. However, that soon changed a year later when problems from existing policies and interventions arose as the pandemic continued with cases reaching as high as 8,173 per day and 5,410 mortalities per day. Conclusion - The paper addresses the potential problems with existing policies and interventions by concluding with possible improvements to Nepal’s current COVID-19 2021 Disease Response Plan to mitigate mortality and morbidity in future endemics or pandemics Nepal may endure.
MODEL FOR INCENTIVE REGULATION IN THE TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
Authors: Ivona Štritof  , Franjo Klečina
Published: November 2022

The regulatory bodies in the European Union have developed many methods for economic regulation. In this article, the concept is developed for the introduction of a method for incentive regulation in the transmission of electrical energy in the Republic of Croatia, bearing in mind the overall circumstances. The Republic of Croatia is in the initial phase of introducing economic regulation in the transmission of electrical energy. Therefore, it is necessary to perform all the necessary preliminary work consistently, such as the separation of the activities within a vertically integrated enterprise, modeling of the electricity market, organizing the electricity market and the recognition of a regulatory body. In the fi rst phase, it will be necessary to begin the development and introduction of the basic and simplest incentive models for economic regulation. The article presents an algorithm for the introduction of a model for incentive regulation in the transmission of electrical energy. The analyzed algorithm is based upon the revenue cap method. The article also discusses the circumstances of introducing said method in the transmission of electrical energy in the Republic of Croatia.

THE PRINCIPLE OF EXERCISING OPTIONS ON THE ELECTRICITY MARKET
Authors: Vedran Uran
Published: November 2022

Continual price fluctuations are possible to hedge by using various financial instruments, including options. An option buyer buys the right to the settlement price of an underlying asset such as electricity. Due to the volatility of the asset price, the buyer is not obliged to exercise the option. In such a case, the buyer’s only loss is the purchased right or the option premium, which is equal to the option price. Mathematical models for option pricing have been developed in the last hundred years. These models were very popular during the 1970s, owing to the application of the Black-Scholes formula for the calculation of theoretical option prices. In this article, options are distinguished according to various criteria, specific exercising methods are described and the historical development of option pricing models is reviewed. An example of option exercising with closing out of the margins on the largest Middle European electricity exchange, EEX, is presented.
Combined effort opportunities of aggregated demand response flexibility and energy savings in households
Authors: Luttenberger Marić Leila , Bukarica Vesna
Published: November 2022

This paper analyses possible synergies between demand response flexibility programmes and energy savings delivered by households. In the framework of the energy transition, European Union (EU) directives are endorsing energy consumers to become full-fledged participants of the energy market, mostly via independent aggregator intermediaries. The flexibility aggregators have a very arduous role in collecting, optimising and settling aggregated flexibility delivered from heterogenous sources on the energy market. Novel business models incorporating both flexibility and energy savings opportunities from households’ consumers could deliver revenue diversification for flexibility aggregators and support them in overcoming technical and motivational challenges for activating consumers in the energy market. This paper discusses the main pillars for a sustainable flexibility aggregator business model which sums up the potential for flexibility placement on energy, ancillary services and energy savings markets. The main challenge identified in this work are the requirements for programme establishment, allowing the recognition and proper interpretation of energy savings triggered by short-term events and obtained by an aggregator via explicit demand response actions. This paper proposes possible solutions for a joint venture of a flexibility and energy savings aggregator, thus alleviating possible data collection problems. Collaborative efforts have been recognised in the establishment and maintenance of information and communication technologies and infrastructure, therefore facilitating continuous monitoring and verification of flexibility programmes which are able to deliver energy savings.
New Approach of Estimating Sarcasm Based on the Percentage of Happiness of Facial Expression Using Fuzzy Inference System
Authors: Alsaedi Louloua
Published: November 2022

The procedure of determining whether micro expressions are present is accorded a high priority in the majority of settings. This is due to the fact that despite the best attempts of the person, these expressions will always expose the genuine sentiments that are buried under the surface. The purpose of this study is to provide a novel approach to the problem of measuring sarcasm by using a fuzzy inference system. The method involves analysing a person's facial expressions to evaluate the degree to which they are taking pleasure in something. It is feasible to distinguish five separate areas of a person's face, and precise active distances may be determined from the outline points of each of these regions. This category includes the brows on both sides of the face, as well as the eyes and lips. In order to arrive at a representation of an individual's degree of happiness while working within the parameters of the fuzzy inference system that has been provided, membership functions are first applied to computed distances. After that, the findings from the membership functions are put to use in yet another membership function so that an estimate of the sarcasm percentage may be derived from them. The suggested method is validated by using photos of human faces taken from the SMIC, SAMM, and CAS(ME) 2 datasets, which are the industry standards. This helps to guarantee that the method is effective.

Authors: Mohammed Marwa J. , Hamandi Sadiq J. , Arbilei Marwan N.
Published: November 2022

Biocompatible implants are often proposed to improve osseointegration such as metal, polymer, and ceramic to increase bone growth. This study aimed to create a new interface to enhance osseointegration. This interface is between the polymeric part and bone tissue. In this work coat PEEK (polyether ether ketone) plastic material coated with an active biocompatible material (hydroxyapatite). Regarding biocompatibility, coated PEEK was implanted inside the specimen in rabbit bone, the specimens were X-rayed after a period, and a histological investigation was performed after the samples were extracted from the test animals. X-ray and histological examination results indicate increased bone formation in the HA-coated implant compared with the non-coated HA implant.
IDENTIFYING CONSUMER RESISTANCE OF MOBILE PAYMENT DURING COVID-19: AN INTERPRETIVE STRUCTURAL MODELING (ISM) APPROACH
Authors: Singh Naveen Kumar , Singh Pragati
Published: November 2022

Purpose – Due to country-wise lockdown and state-wise curfews in COVID-19, people were not able to make offline payments (i.e. cash payments) during purchases in India. So, people are switching their payment behavior from offline to online mode. But, as per the central bank report, the rate of adoption through mobile payments is still slow. The paper focuses on identifying critical barriers to mobile payment systems (MPSs) adoption in India. Innovation resistance theory (IRT) has been used as a base model for barriers, despite the wide range of choices of barriers available in the MPSs context. Additionally, three external variables which are out of the wider coverage of IRT constructs were incorporated in this paper. The study, on the other hand, adds to innovation resistance theory in the frame of reference of MPSs from a theoretical perspective. Interpretive structural modeling (ISM), together with MICMAC analysis is brought into play to analyse the direct and indirect relationship amongst the barriers.
Research methodology – ISM approach has been used to establish the relationship among the eight (08) identified barriers, through literature and expert opinions. The key barriers to high driving power are then identified with the help of MICMAC analysis.
Findings – The results reveal that value barrier (b2), image barrier (b5) and visibility barrier (b7) are the most significant variables. Interestingly, IRTs’ risk barrier (b3) and privacy barrier (b6) from the literature fall in the lowest level of the ISM model. The majority of the barriers fall under quadrant III of MICMAC analysis, indicating the high driving and dependence power.
Research limitations – The developed ISM model is based on the sentiments of five (05) experts, which could be biased and influence the structural model’s final output. Due to COVID-19, data has been collected through online video conferencing mode, this may vary if data will be collected through an offline or face-to-face interview. The proposed model’s key findings aim to assist in explaining the barriers that exist during MPS adoption.
Originality/Value – This study is the first attempt to use the ISM approach in conjunction with IRT to detect barriers within MPSs. The result of this paper will guide and motivate the researcher to analyse more critical barriers with IRT to contribute to the theoretical development.
Le langage, un moyen de communication ?
Authors: Gaignard Olivier
Published: November 2022

L’analyse rigoureuse de la doxa montre qu’on ne saurait réduire le langage à un moyen de communication sans l’amputer de ses aspects les plus essentiels. Le langage humain déborde la parole verbale, le corps lui-même s’exprimant dans un langage plus ou moins conscient ; à l’inverse du présupposé techniciste, on ne peut séparer abstraitement la pensée et le langage ; enfin le langage n’est pas un objet extérieur au sujet parlant, présupposé à partir duquel est construit le concept d’outil. Il reste qu’en suivant le schéma techniciste, la communication est assimilée à un moyen neutre de transmission de l’information. Or la communication renvoie à des fins socialement intéressées et les mots ne sont pas réductibles à des informations neutres. La thèse dominante occulte que l’essentiel du langage réside dans le pouvoir d’affecter l’autre et de se laisser affecter par lui. Dans ses manifestations les plus ordinaires, le langage est une potestas , un pouvoir de transformation des pensées. Mais on doit être attentif à repérer l’efficacité du pouvoir des mots non dans les mots eux-mêmes, mais dans les conditions sociales de production des usages linguistiques, extérieures à la langue. Personne ne parle jamais en son nom propre : celui qui parle est le porte-parole autorisé du groupe qui a investi en lui son capital symbolique. Les façons de parler sont des structures sociales intériorisées, référées dans l’espace social à une langue légitime qui se constitue en norme de discrimination des usages linguistiques. La connaissance de ces mécanismes ne doit pas conduire les travailleurs sociaux au fatalisme, mais leur permettre au contraire à définir les marges de liberté dans lesquelles ils peuvent agir en tenant compte de l’intérêt du public qu’ils accompagnent.
Study of emotional skills in a sample of students and workers
Authors: Ros-Morente Agnes , Coronel Monica , Filella Gemma
Published: November 2022

Purpose: This study seeks to assess the levels of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and emotional competencies in a sample of workers and college students according to gender. Furthermore, the research upon which this paper is established seeks to analyze the divergence between the sexes from distinct angles of EQ and emotional competencies.  Design/methodology/approach: The study uses a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the differences among the scores of men and women for each of the samples. Self-informed instruments were administered to determine the levels of EQ and emotional competencies in a sample of one hundred and two workers who are residents in Quito, Ecuador, and three hundred and seventy-eight college students from San Francisco de Quito University. The evaluation of the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) type trait was measured through the short version of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue-SF) in Spanish, as developed by Pérez (2003).Findings: First, the study performed a detailed analysis of the variables for the worker's sample, which shows that the highest score belongs to the total Measurement of Affective Regulation Styles (MARS) scale. In connection with the different facets of TEIQue, the highest is emotionality (43,245), while the lower score is related to adaptability (11,362). When analyzing workers’ samples, the results show there is no compelling discrepancy between sexes in terms of emotional competencies and EQ. However, with regard to adaptability, there is a display that indicates a tendency towards significance where men show higher scores than women, which suggests that men are more adaptable than women. The students’ samples show that the self-control scale appears to be higher in men than in women, suggesting that men show a model of greater emotional control than women who participated in the study. This finding contrasts with the competencies and skills evaluated with the MARS instrument, which reported women achieving higher scores than men. Originality/value: During the last few years, the study of emotions has been an essential change in the world of research. The influence of emotions in the academic field and later in the workplace has been seen as an essential way to improve well-being and increase motivation and productivity. Even so, there are a significant number of unknowns, such as the influence they have on different sexes.
Impact of viscosity on creeping viscous fluid flow through a permeable slit: a study for the artificial kidneys
Authors: Maqbool Khadija , Mehboob Hira , Siddiqui Abdul Majeed
Published: November 2022

The idea of this study is to present the mathematical model of two-dimensional biofluid flow having variable viscosity along the height of the channel (proximal renal tube of artificial kidney). This research describes that flow resistance is dependent on the height of the channel (proximal renal tube of artificial kidney) which makes the high flow near the centre and slow near the wall. The goal of this research is to provide the formulas to find the flow speed, average pressure, outflow flux and filtration rate of the viscous fluid having variable viscosity. The complex mathematical problem is solved by the Inverse method and results for axial velocity are plotted at the opening, central and departure region of the conduit. The numerical values for constant reabsorption and mean pressure are calculated against the filtration rate for the constant and variable viscosity. The numerical results of pressure rise show that when the viscosity of biofluid varies from centre to the boundary, then high change in pressure is required as compared with the biofluid having constant viscosity along the height of the slit. These mathematical formulas are very useful for the bioengineers to design the portable artificial kidney which works as a mechanical tool to filter the biofluid.
General Equilibrium Effects of Cash Transfers: Experimental Evidence From Kenya
Authors: Egger Dennis , Haushofer Johannes , Miguel Edward , Niehaus Paul , Walker Michael
Published: November 2022

How large economic stimuli generate individual and aggregate responses is a central question in economics, but has not been studied experimentally. We provided one‐time cash transfers of about USD 1000 to over 10,500 poor households across 653 randomized villages in rural Kenya. The implied fiscal shock was over 15 percent of local GDP. We find large impacts on consumption and assets for recipients. Importantly, we document large positive spillovers on non‐recipient households and firms, and minimal price inflation. We estimate a local transfer multiplier of 2.5. We interpret welfare implications through the lens of a simple household optimization framework.
Empirical Strategies in Economics: Illuminating the Path From Cause to Effect
Authors: Angrist Joshua D.
Published: November 2022

The view that empirical strategies in economics should be transparent and credible now goes almost without saying. By revealing for whom particular instrumental variables (IV) estimates are valid, the local average treatment effects (LATE) framework helped make this so. This lecture uses empirical examples, mostly involving effects of charter and exam school attendance, to illustrate the value of the LATE framework for causal inference. LATE distinguishes independence conditions satisfied by random assignment from more controversial exclusion restrictions. A surprising exclusion restriction is shown to explain why enrollment at Chicago exam schools reduces student achievement. I also make two broader points: IV exclusion restrictions formalize commitment to clear and consistent explanations of reduced‐form causal effects; the credibility revolution in applied econometrics owes at least as much to compelling empirical analyses as to methodological insights.

Authors: Karanam Sreekantha Desai , Krithin M.  , Kulkarni R. V.
Published: November 2022

The vaccines are developed to protect us from diseases, and these vaccines are saving millions of people every year. The acceptance of taking COVID-19 vaccinations was affected by their knowledge and opinion on COVID-19 vaccines. The ever-increasing misinformation and opposition to take COVID-19 vaccines have created a major problem for healthcare professionals in meeting the targets set for vaccine coverage. There is an urgent need to apply supportive and inclusive approaches to enhance people's self-confidence and acceptance of these vaccines by taking away their misconceptions. To control the spread of COVID-19 disease, practicing all the social operational standards and high vaccination coverage are required. Most healthcare workers in Asia are vaccinated. This chapter reviewed the papers on COVID-19 vaccination perceptions, issues, and side effects. The authors also designed a machine learning model to analyze the perceptions of the people from analysing their tweets. This analysis provides an insight into perceptions and drives-focused vaccination programmes.
Effective Data Use in Online Learning Environments
Authors: Higginson Erin R.
Published: November 2022

Collecting and analyzing data for continuous improvement of student learning has been a staple of the United States education system for the past two decades, but K-12 education is experiencing a paradigm shift to online learning. Teachers in face-to-face environments have experience monitoring student learning and collecting data through formative assessment. Assessment strategies implemented in face-to-face classrooms can be modified for an online learning environment. Additionally, higher education has utilized online platforms far longer than K-12 education and have extensive knowledge on data collection in an online learning environment. K-12 pre-service and in-service teachers can learn from the trials and tribulations of higher education in online learning. Lastly, teacher educators need to respond to this change in the instructional environment by altering their current curriculum to prepare preservice teachers to teach in an online environment. This chapter addresses these issues and provides practical examples and strategies for data collection in K-12 online learning environments.
Calling for Changes in Pre-Service Teacher Education to Prepare for More Than Face-to-Face Teaching
Authors: Lahr Emily , Welch Stephanie
Published: November 2022

The transition to online learning for education during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed several ways in which teachers were not prepared to shift their practice into a virtual space. With the rise of hybrid and fully online learning environments emerging post-pandemic, it is evident that teacher preparation needs to more explicitly address preparing teachers for potential online instruction. This chapter will summarize the current history and research of online K-12 teaching and analyze teacher experiences during the pandemic in order to provide recommendations for teacher preparation in the future.
An Assessment of the Relationship Between Turkey and the United Nations International Organization for Migration in the Context of Public Diplomacy
Authors: Kır Elitaş Serpil
Published: November 2022

Turkey is in a strategic position in terms of its geographical location. It is surrounded by seas on three sides, and there are only a few straits in the world that connect the two continents to each other to connect Asian countries to Europe. Combined with Turkey's strategic location, this makes Turkey an essential transit route in every activity in terms of both tourism and business resources. This strategic location of Turkey can be exploited by irresponsible and problematic elements from both inside and outside the country for both human trafficking and human smuggling activities. These groups of individuals or unions can openly collaborate with both internal and external parties due to the combination of many parties. Therefore, it is very crucial to continue the cooperation between the Turkish government and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to overcome these problems. This study will examine the work done in cooperation between the Turkish Government and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in dealing with these illegal activities.

Published: November 2022

In this work, the comparison between the Newtonian and the Power Law models was pointed out to determine the flow field within a system that includes the bypass of a narrowing zone (Stenosis) of an ideal artery. The simulations were conducted in a transient regime considering the pulsed effect inside the veins. The results show that the Power Law model does not sufficiently coincide with the Newtonian model, especially for describing the wall stresses. More specifically, the Power Law model predicts a velocity profile that remains parabolic for the entire time range analyzed, while the Newtonian model captures vorticities.

Progranulin has been considered to be a poor prognostic biomarker for some types of malignancies. However, the clinical significance of serum progranulin level and the prognostic value are still not explored in advanced stages of lung cancer.  The current study investigates the prognostic significance of progranulin serum levels in advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study involved 94 subjects (70 advanced-stage NSCLC patients and 24 healthy controls). Serum progranulin level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and was correlated with patient outcome. The association between circulating progranulin level and clinicopathological parameters was detected. Serum progranulin cut-off level predicting six-month survival was determined. Serum progranulin level was found significantly elevated in NSCLC patients than in the control group (p<0.001). We did not determine a significant difference between stage IIIB and stage IV NSCLC patients for serum progranulin levels (p=0.166). When we evaluated the laboratory parameters, only serum LDH level was found significantly correlated with serum progranulin level (p=0.043), also bone and liver metastasis showed a significant correlation with progranulin level (p=0.008 and p = 0.024, respectively). The cut-off level of serum progranulin in predicting six months of survival was determined as 16.03 ng/ml (AUC = 0.973, 95%Cl: 0.903-0.997, p<0.001) with 97.06% sensitivity and 88.89% specificity. Overall survival was determined shorter in patients with progranulin level ≥16 ng/ml than those with <16 ng/ml (p<0.001). Also, in the multivariate analysis using the Cox regression model serum progranulin level was found as an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC (p=0.001). Serum progranulin level may be a useful biomarker for predicting poor survival in advanced-stage NSCLC patients.

Authors: Kiran Anupama , Chidanadappa Rashmi N. , Kaur Artinder
Published: November 2022

Background:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal relief on the pattern of postoperative pain at different time intervals in patients diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis. The null hypothesis proposed was, there is no difference in the postoperative pain in the experimental and control groups.

Materials and Methods:

In this randomized study, sixty posterior teeth with irreversible pulpitis and slight tender to percussion were included. Root canal treatment was initiated and biomechanical preparation was done. Closed dressing was given after placing calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament. The patients were randomized using computer-generated randomization software into the experimental group where occlusal contacts were relieved (n = 30) and to the control group where occlusal contacts were left intact (n = 30). Postoperative pain at different intervals was recorded using the Heft-Parker Visual Analog Scale and analyzed.

Results:

There is no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative pain between the two groups. There is a significant reduction in pain at 6 h within the groups compared to all other time intervals, and flare-ups were reported in the occlusal intact group.

Conclusion:

The pattern of postoperative pain did show a gradual reduction in the occlusion relieved group. Flare-ups were reported in the occlusion intact group. Within the limitations of the study, the occlusal reduction could play an important role in prevention of flare-ups during endodontic treatment.

Authors: Gupta Divya , Kamat Sharad , Hugar Santosh , Nanjannawar Girish , Gupta Ruchika , Mulla Saquib
Published: November 2022

Background:

Fracture incidences are more common in teeth with endodontic therapy and hence endodontic therapy should aim toward the reinforcement of such teeth by placing various restorative materials.

Aims:

Comparative evaluation of different intraorifice barrier material on strengthening the fracture resistance of teeth requiring endodontic therapy.

Methods:

Sixty extracted human mandibular premolars with one root were divided into four groups (n = 15); Group 1- Light cured Glass ionomer cement, Group 2 - Nanohybrid composite (NHC), Group 3 - High copper amalgam, Group 4-Control. Decoronation of specimens was done to a standardized length of 14 mm and was instrumented up to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) #30 size master apical file. Gutta percha was used to carry out the obturation by the cold lateral compaction technique. With the exception of the control group, elimination of 3 mm obturation from the coronal portion was done and intraorifice barrier materials were placed. Universal Testing Machine was used for testing fracture resistance.

Statistical Analysis:

Analysis of variance was applied to analyze the data obtained and pairwise comparison was done by post hoc tukey's test (P < 0.05).

Results:

Better resistance to fracture incidence was seen with NHCs. Control group presented the least values.

Conclusion:

On placement of intraorifice barrier materials in teeth with endodontic therapy, there was a reduction in fracture incidence.
Tumor Microenvironment in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Special Stains and Scanning Electron Microscopic Study
Authors: Chandni Srivastava , Tamgadge Sandhya , Tamgadge Avinash , Pereira Treville , Mahajan Mayura , Kumar Sourab , Jadhav Abhishek
Published: November 2022

Background:

Effect of the oral cancerous epithelial cells on the extracellular matrix (ECM) and vice versa is also responsible for the growth and progression of cancer. The effect of inflammation on the stroma and its association with progression has also been stated in literature.

Materials and Methods:

The control group consisted of 10 patients with apparently normal mucosa with no history of habits, the study group consisted of 30 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) confirmed by examination and incisional biopsy. H and E staining, Masson’s Trichrome Staining, and Verhoeff’s Van Gieson staining were used to study the inflammation, collagen fibers, and elastic fiber, respectively. A few selected specimens were studied under the scanning electron microscope. The grade of inflammation was statistically correlated with collagen and elastic fibers.

Observation:

Grade of inflammation was closely associated with lymphadenopathy and the density of collagenous and elastic components of the ECM. The scanning electron microscopic evaluation of elastic fibers revealed irregular fragmented elastic fibers.

Conclusion:

The stroma is the key to complete removal and treatment of OSCC; however, more studies are needed to define the role of each component, therefore improving the prognosis of a patient.

Published: November 2022

Background:

Bladder carcinoma ranks tenth among all cancers worldwide predominantly affecting elderly males. Common risk factors being cigarette smoke and aniline dyes. Immunohistochemical markers play a pivotal role for its diagnosis and prognosis.

Aim:

To analyze the immunohistochemical expression of p53, CD10, Ki-67 in bladder cancers correlating with demographic features, pathological grade, and stage and to establish as prognostic biomarkers.

Materials and Methods:

Surgical samples of total of 70 cases of bladder tumor were collected, processed, stained in routine hematoxylin and eosin followed by immunohistochemistry of p53, CD10, and Ki67 markers performed on randomly selected 30 cases only.

Results:

Out of 70 cases 69 cases (98.6%) were carcinomas; urothelial carcinoma being 71.4% (n = 50) with male: female ratio = 7.7:1 and mean age = 61.81 ± 12.83 years. Out of 30 cases, p53 was positive in 50% of cases, 30% - negative and 20% - equivocal. p53 positive expression pattern was more in high grade (HG) than low grade (LG). Significant difference was observed in the mean p53 scoring (%) and different stages (P = 0.043). CD10 expression was negative in 56.6%, (1+) in 16.6%, and (2+) in 26.6% of cases and significant difference in CD 10 expression was observed between the high and LG (P = 0.001). Ki-67 labeling index was appreciably higher in HG than the LG tumor (32.49% ± 24.35%; 6.86% ± 8.1%). Majority of Ki-67 expression was observed in stage pT2, followed by the pT1 stage.

Conclusion:

Cocktail of p53, CD10, and Ki67 is useful as potential prognostic markers in bladder cancers.
