School inclusion support professionals: who are and what are these new actors in the educational scenario?
Authors: Lopes Mariana Moraes , Mendes Enicéia Gonçalves
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT The study is a part of the dissertation published by the author, whose general objective was to describe and analyze the profile and performance of school inclusion support professionals in different municipal contexts, involving five municipalities, three in the state of Bahia and two in the state of São Paulo. Thirty school inclusion support professionals participated in the study, through focus groups. The objective of this article was to analyze administrative aspects and functions performed by these school inclusion support professionals in the school context. Despite gaps in the literature, the theoretical framework used was sufficient to support the research. The results showed: precariousness in the profile and performance of professionals, support service adopted indiscriminately, bad working conditions, function deviation, professional without an adequate profile, precariousness, and privatization of support for school inclusion. In addition to pointing out that school inclusion support professionals are, in some situations, the only professionals, when they should be part of a support network, the importance of this professional is pointed out for a portion of students from the special education target audience. However, there is a need for: definition of guidelines, improvement of working conditions, definition of job attributions, continuing education, and supervision.
Lighting design of university buildings based on green energy saving
Authors: Dong Wei
Published: August 2023

The traditional way of designing the parameters of university buildings is to base designs on the experience of designers after surveying the local environment, but this approach is time consuming and laborious. The research problem addressed by this paper is the quick optimisation of the parameters of university buildings with the goal of energy saving. First, a model of energy consumption and lighting of university buildings was constructed; then, a particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm modified by a genetic algorithm was used to optimise the building parameters; this was compared with the traditional PSO algorithm in a case study. The results were that the PSO algorithm improved by the genetic algorithm converged the building parameter scheme to stability faster, the scheme fitness value at stability was lower than that of the traditional PSO algorithm and the improved PSO algorithm required less computation time in optimising the building parameter scheme.

Published: August 2023

Microbial- or enzyme-induced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation (MICP and EICP) are relatively new ground improvement techniques. In this study, the mechanical behaviour of biotreated (MICP/EICP) and untreated sands was investigated in light of the critical state soil mechanics framework using a series of direct simple shear (DSS) tests. A wide range of calcium carbonate content (CC), initial void ratio after consolidation (e0) and effective initial normal stress ([Formula: see text]) was considered. The biotreated specimens showed improved shear strength and dilative tendency compared to untreated specimens with similar initial states. The ultimate state (US) for the biotreated sand shifted towards a smaller void ratio (e) than the value of e at the critical state of untreated sand at the same σ′N in e–log σ′N space. Compared to untreated sand, a significantly larger US stress ratio was achieved for the biotreated sand, particularly at high CC and low [Formula: see text]. The characteristic features of undrained behaviour, such as instability stress ratio, stress ratio at phase transformation and flow potential showed good relationships with modified initial state parameter, void ratio after biotreatment and CC. The bonding ratio, (τ/σ′N)bond, was used to quantify the interparticle bonding. The peak value of (τ/σ′N)bond for the biotreated sand was significantly larger than zero, particularly at high CC and low [Formula: see text], while the peak (τ/σ′N)bond for the untreated sand was negligible. It was also observed that the mobilisation and degradation of calcium carbonate bonds in biotreated sand during DSS shearing are influenced by both CC and [Formula: see text].

Kirik the Novgorodian and Cosmological Riddles in Old Rus
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Gerasimova Irina
Published: August 2023

The text of the “Teaching on Numbers” by the monk and mathematician Kirik the Novgorodian (the first half of the 12th century) was introduced into scientific circulation in the 1820s. Initially, this text was assessed as exclusively mathematical-calendar content. As the research unfolded, questions of a textual, historical-mathematical, philosophical, cultural and socio-psychological nature arose. Compared with similar writings of Kirik’s era, his calculations are recognized as accurate, and in methods of calculation on the abacus, he was 400 years ahead of his time. In addition to the “Teaching on Numbers”, the theological treatise penned by Kirik, “The Questions of Kirik”, has come down to our times, written in the form of a dialogue between a pastor and a bishop about the vital problems of service practice. Despite numerous articles and solid monographs on Kirik’s legacy, some postulates of the “Teaching”, as well as vocabulary features, remain undisclosed and mysterious. The first riddle concerns the scientific research and peculiarities of the reconstruction of the lists of Kirik’s treatises, which have come down to us only from the 16th century. A mere mystery concerns the fragment about circuits in the renewal of the elements, which, at first glance, has a natural philosophical content. The question arises: could Kirik, as a thoughtful scientist, simply rewrite these calculations from the prototype text familiar to him, the so-called “seven-thousanders”? Hypotheses are put forward of Platonic, Pythagorean, Gnostic influences on the essence of the fragment, but no supporting texts have been found. The article presents arguments in favor of the hypothesis of the influence of the mathematical teachings of the Pythagoreans on the prototype of the fragment about the renewal of the elements. The Pythagorean thesis about the structure of the corporeal cosmos according to the laws of beauty and harmony, which are based on the principle of commensurability, is clearly reflected in the mathematical calculations of the fragment. Kirik addressed his “Teaching” to lovers of numbers and he himself belonged to the circle of intellectuals. Modern studies of the Pythagorean tradition confirm the intercultural nature of the influence of the Pythagorean tradition on other ideological directions of thought. In Old Rus the tradition was supported by chroniclers and chronologists.
Capitalization of Morality in the Activities of Modern Corporations: Opportunity or Necessity
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Prokaeva Elena
Published: August 2023

Modernity has presented a new challenge to capitalism, the answer to which may be the emergence of ‘moral capital’. Since the end of the 20th century, corporations have become convinced of the importance of a strong ideology and the need for developed meaningful corporate ethics based on values understood and accepted by all members of the company. The exaggerated importance of personal gain in Western philosophy since the time of Adam Smith and Jeremy Bentham has led to the formation of an ‘economic man’ who views the world around him through the prism of individual material interest. The life credo of such a person is “I feel good, so everyone feels good.” has become a real threat to society, making it impossible for adequate forms of collectives to exist. In this article we study large corporations as they are the most visible as representatives of modern capitalist society. An analysis of the activities of corporations and their reactions to crises has shown that companies that have managed to survive a critical situation, as a rule, make changes to corporate ethics 2-3 years later, having undergone some reflection. The competitive environment, the requirements of society, the state and international organizations contribute to the manifestation of greater social responsibility to comprehend and fix these changes. All types of capitalism, as Max Weber saw them: ‘predatory’, ‘adventurous’ and ‘rational’ simultaneously coexist in the present time. Time will tell whether capitalism is able to transform into its more moral form or whether we observe the emergence of a new social order. If multinational corporations manage to overcome their natural thirst for profit and transform it into a desire to ‘bring the greatest happiness to the greatest number of people’, expanding this ‘greatest number’ to a planetary scale, the answer will be positive. The way some of these companies are overcoming their own crises is encouraging. The time of change is wonderful because everyone can contribute to the current changes by acting in accordance with human standards of morality.
Aberrant expression and regulatory role of histone deacetylase 9 in vascular endothelial cell injury in intracranial aneurysm
Authors: Sun Jingwei , Zhang Langfeng , Cheng Quanjiang , Wu Yajun
Published: August 2023

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is one of the most challenging cerebrovascular lesions for clinicians. The aim of this study was to investigate the abnormal expression and role of histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) in IA-associated injury of vascular endothelial cells (VECs). First, IA tissue and normal arterial tissue were collected and VECs were isolated from IA patients. The expression levels of HDAC9, microRNA (miR)-34a-5p, and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) were determined. Cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and migration were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, EdU staining, TUNEL staining, and transwell assay. The binding of miR-34a-5p to VEGFA was analyzed by the dual-luciferase assay, and the accumulation of HDAC9 and lysine histone acetylation at H3 (H3K9, H3K14, and H3K18) on the miR-34a-5p promoter was detected by the chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. The results showed that HDAC9 and VEGFA were increased and miR-34a-5p was decreased in IA tissues and cells. Silencing of HDAC9 inhibited apoptosis and increased viability, proliferation, and migration of VECs, whereas overexpression of HDAC9 exerted the opposite functions. HDAC9 accumulated at the miR-34a-5p promoter to decrease miR-34a-5p expression by reducing H3 locus-specific acetylation and further promoted VEGFA expression. Knockdown of miR-34a-5p or VEGFA overexpression reversed the protective role of HDAC9 silencing in VECs injury. In conclusion, our study suggests that HDAC9 may be a therapeutic target for IA.
Динамика жизнедеятельности и факторы благополучия подростков
Authors: Татьяна Александровна Татьяна Александровна
Published: August 2023

Понятие «благополучие детей» содержательно отличается в разных дисциплинах, исторических, социокультурных контекстах и предполагает различные исследовательские подходы и способы измерения. Теоретически благополучие детей можно рассматривать как с точки зрения их будущей взрослой жизни, так и актуального состояния. Подростковый возраст является важным периодом в жизненном пути и формировании личности. Научную проблему представляют знание о субъективном психологическом неблагополучии определенной части подростков и недостаток информации о факторах их субъективного психологического неблагополучия. На данных Российского мониторинга экономического положения и здоровья населения НИУ ВШЭ и исследований подростков в Москве в 1994, 2010 и 2022 годах описывается динамика таких индикаторов жизнедеятельности подростков в возрасте 14–16 лет, как успеваемость, владение иностранным языком, использование Интернета и компьютера, занятия спортом, здоровье, курение и употребление алкоголя. Показано, что с начала 2000-х гг. происходит улучшение качества жизни подростков по анализируемым индикаторам, увеличивалась доля удовлетворенных жизнью. Согласно данным московской выборки, подростков с внутренним локусом контроля, высоким показателем альтруизма и материально обеспеченных стало больше. Субъективное психологическое благополучие операционализировано в контексте гедонистического и эвдемонистического подходов. Показатель благополучия построен на  основании трех переменных – удовлетворенность жизнью, самооценка и локус контроля. Показано, что материально-жилищный уровень семей, по оценкам подростков, более значим с точки зрения их благополучия, нежели семейная структура. Психологическое благополучие подростков статистически значимо связано с такими семейными факторами, как отсутствие физических наказаний в детстве, доверительность и равноправие в общении с родителями, позитивное отношение к матери и отцу, а также регулярные контакты с отцом, не проживающим в домохозяйстве. Подчеркивается важность просвещения родителей и обучения навыкам обращения с подростками.На основании сравнения результатов по двум выборкам – РМЭЗ НИУ ВШЭ (2021  год) и исследования подростков в Москве (2022 год) – сделан вывод, что с точки зрения субъективного благополучия для юношей значимы их отношение к религии, посещение церкви/мечети, удовлетворенность материальным положением, а для девушек – удовлетворенность материальным положением и самооценка здоровья.

Published: August 2023

Российская наука всегда была частью мировой академической среды, успешно сотрудничала и конкурировала с ведущими в научно-техническом развитии странами. Недавняя ситуация с пандемией коронавируса COVID-19 и текущая геополитическая напряженность негативно сказываются на международных научных связях, в связи с чем возникла острая и срочная необходимость перестройки сложившихся партнерств и выстраивания новых. В статье рассматривается феномен участия российских исследователей в международном научном сотрудничестве в контексте существующей глобальной конкуренции и неравенства в науке. В качестве источника данных использовалась база библиографических записей Web of Science за весь доступный период наблюдения с выделением объединенных окон публикаций и цитирования с 2018 по 2022 год. Для оценки влияния публикаций были взяты показатели цитируемости статей и квартилей журналов. Данные о количестве, цитируемости статей и квартилях журналов, в которых они были напечатаны, были извлечены для России, стран Содружества Независимых Государств, группы стран БРИКС и стран-лидеров с наибольшим количеством публикаций. Анализ показал увеличение количества совместных публикаций и положительный эффект соавторства с коллегами, прежде всего, из стран-лидеров научно-технического развития. В статье делается вывод о  необходимости активизации и расширения международного научного сотрудничества за счет новых стран-партнеров.

Efficient recovery of complete gut viral genomes by combined short- and long-read sequencing v1
Authors: not provided chuqingsun
Published: August 2023

Current metagenome-assembled human gut phage catalogs contained mostly fragmented genomes. Here, we developed a vigorous gut virome detection procedure involving viral-like particle enrichment from increased amount of feces (~500g) and combined sequencing of short- and long-reads. Applied to 135 fecal samples, we assembled a Chinese Gut Virome Catalog (CHGV) consisting of 21,646 non-redundant phage genomes that were significantly longer than those obtained by short-read sequencing and contained ~35% complete ones, which was ~nine times more than those in the Gut Virome Database (~4%). Interestingly, majority (~60%) of the CHGV genomes were obtained by either long-read or hybrid assemblies, which overlapped little with those assembled from only the short-reads, indicating the necessity of combined sequencing in gut virome discovery. With this dataset, we elucidated the vast diversity of the gut virome from several aspects, including the identification of 32% novel genomes as compared with public gut virome databases, dozens of phages that were more prevalent than the crAssphages and/or Gubaphages, and several viral clades that are more diverse than the two. In the end, we also characterized the functional capacities of the CHGV encoded proteins and constructed a viral-host interaction network to facilitate future research and applications of the gut viruses.
A universal protocol for high-quality DNA and RNA isolation from diverse plant species v1
Authors: Masoomi-Aladizgeh Farhad , Jabbari Leila
Published: August 2023

Next-generation sequencing demands high-quality nucleic acid, yet isolating DNA and RNA from plant tissues is often challenging. Despite advancements in the development of a variety of kits and reagents, these products are only limited to isolating nucleic acid from model plant species. In this study, a universal lysis buffer is introduced to isolate nucleic acid from a wide range of plant species to facilitate molecular studies, such as quantitative PCR (qPCR), transcriptomics, whole-genome sequencing, etc. The lysis buffer consists of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium chloride (NaCl), tris base, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and β-mercaptoethanol (βME). The appropriate concentration of these components enables high-quality DNA and RNA isolation from plant tissues simultaneously. Slight alterations in the methodology lead to the isolation of pure DNA or RNA from the same tissue, enabling high-throughput sequencing. This protocol is fast and enables the isolation of nucleic acid from diverse plant species in less than an hour.

Más allá de la soberanía. La Amazonía y la geopolítica de la invisibilización, énfasis en Colombia y Brasil
Authors: Da Silva Guevara Gisela
Published: August 2023

Con este artículo se propone analizar las implicaciones que tuvo la formación de imaginarios y visiones estigmatizantes alimentada a partir de los centros de poder, sobre todo, en Colombia y Brasil, respecto a las tentativas de inclusión de los espacios amazónicos en la formación de nación. Los imaginarios políticos y sociales han llevado hasta nuestros días a identificar tales espacios con nociones de subdesarrollo que distorsionan la verdadera riqueza de los aportes desde estas regiones y sus habitantes. Partiendo de las nociones de Cathrine Brun (2019) respecto a invisibilidad y periferización se busca demonstrar que las visiones estigmatizantes desde los centros de poder de Colombia y Brasil, con las consecuentes políticas implementadas en los espacios amazónicos para llevar lo que es considerado el «desarrollo», lejos de permitir la inserción de dichos espacios en las respectivas naciones los han alejado de estas.
Militancia política y armada de estudiantes universitarios en los orígenes y primera etapa del Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), 1962-1973
Authors: Acevedo Tarazona Álvaro , Buendía Acevedo William , Lagos Cortés Emilio
Published: August 2023

En este artículo se analiza el rol político y militante de algunos estudiantes universitarios en la creación y primera etapa de existencia del Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN) de Colombia. Se acude a una metodología cualitativa de enfoque interpretativo que rastrea memorias, biografías, historiografía y prensa. El texto fija la atención en el componente universitario, el cual ha sido tratado apenas sucintamente en la historiografía. Se muestra cómo la mayor participación de estudiantes en la organización guerrillera provenía de tres universidades públicas del país, aunque también se identifican casos de estudiantes de universidades privadas. Se concluye que, si bien algunos de estos estudiantes lograron sobrevivir, la búsqueda de la utopía antisistémica terminó trágicamente para gran parte de ellos: la mayoría murieron en combate rápidamente, varios de ellos entraron en contradicción respecto de la manera como la organización guerrillera era orientada y fueron fusilados, y otros no lograron adaptarse a las dinámicas de la vida guerrillera y terminaron abandonando las filas del ELN.

Published: August 2023

En este artículo se abordan los impactos de la globalización y del modelo agroindustrial en los territorios locales y las comunidades asentadas, cuyo propósito es caracterizar, a partir de una perspectiva metodológica multinivel, los debates sobre la globalización y sus procesos económicos que orientan las políticas económicas sobre los territorios, los cuales estructuraron la implementación del modelo agroindustrial en el campo colombiano de la caña de azúcar para la elaboración de etanol carburante, haciendo énfasis en los conflictos entre este modelo extractivista y las comunidades asentadas, concretamente, en la región Norte del departamento del Cauca. Se avanza en desentrañar la heterogeneidad espacial y temporal de las dinámicas y lógicas globales, nacionales y locales que se interpenetran en la subregión del departamento; además, se establece cómo la implementación de la agroindustria de monocultivos produjo impactos sobre la reconfiguración del Estado, específicamente, en el ámbito normativo, el reordenamiento territorial y en propiciar los escenarios para la organización y movilización social de las comunidades asentadas en el departamento del Cauca, indígenas, afrodescendientes y campesinas, quienes demandan una mayor autonomía sobre sus territorios.

¿Cómo influye la presencia o ausencia de un Estado en los mercados en la configuración de la sociedad? A ello, el libro reseñado examina las razones detrás de la configuración política y social de Paraguay desde su establecimiento como región político-administrativa hasta su independencia. El enfoque se centra en la dinámica entre Estado, mercados y sociedad, destacando el sometimiento estatal y el sufrimiento social como consecuencias de los intereses del capital internacional. Fogel argumenta que la falta de un proyecto de desarrollo autónomo y la negligencia estatal son factores clave en esta dinámica injusta; además, sugiere que estas características pueden aplicarse a otras realidades de América Latina, ampliando así la relevancia de su análisis más allá de Paraguay.

Introduction: the objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between incisor inclination at the end of orthodontic treatment with the anterior teeth alignment stability using PAR index. Methods: analytical cross-sectional study, the angle formed between the plane (Silla-Nasion) (U1-NS) and the inclination of the upper incisor and the angle between axial inclination of the lower incisor and mandibular plane (Go-Gn), were measured in 47 initial and final lateral radiographs of patients who finished orthodontic treatment. The anterior sector PAR index was applied to pretreatment (T0), posttreatment (T1) and follow-up (T2) casts. Statistical analysis was performed using frequency and percentage distributions, T test, Anova I, Anova II and Manova; significance p = 0,05. Results: no association was found between upper and lower incisor inclination, alignment stability and PAR weighted score between T2-T1 (p> 0,05). The PAR decreased 75,29% from T0 to T1 and 58,79% from T0 to T2, with a recurrence of 16,5%. There was no association between retainer type and PAR weighted score. From T0 to T2 there was an association between the interaction of the incisor inclination of upper (p = 0,03) and lower (p = 0,04), with the weighted total score of the PAR index. Conclusion: there was no association between the modification of the incisor inclination with the stability of the anterior sector. At the end of orthodontic treatment there was a high level of correction in the anterior-superior and inferior sector, however, there was a recurrence of 16,5%.

Introduction: women and trans people who have engaged in sex work are triply vulnerable since they are victims of discrimination due to their employment status, their gender, and the risks that this work entails. This situation impacts their health situation. This study aimed to know the perceptions about health (physical, mental, and oral) of four women who work in prostitution in Medellin, based on their life experiences and those related to their social context. Methods: qualitative research with an ethnographic approach was conducted to analyze the situations mentioned. Four women participated, two Venezuelans and two Colombians, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Qualitative content analysis was performed, which allowed the generation of four categories (mental health, oral health, general health, and quality of life). Results: her discourses made it possible to elucidate the connection between the living conditions and the health situation. The lack of job opportunities, a migratory process of profound economic and social changes, and a Colombia with inequities and barriers to access to health and social services are determining processes of a general and singular order of the precarious conditions of oral health and general. Conclusions: the participating population is in a situation of social and health vulnerability, which shows the need for public policies and strategies based on the social reality that contribute to generating equity in health.
Complex Dynamics Modes in a Simple Model of Prey-Predator Community: Bistability and Multistability
Authors: Neverova G.P. , Zhdanova O.L.
Published: August 2023

The paper proposes and studies a two-component discrete-time model of the prey-predator community considering zooplankton and fish interactions and their development features. Discrete-time systems of equations allow us to take into account naturally the rhythm of many processes occurring in marine and freshwater communities, which are subject to cyclical fluctuations due to the daily and seasonal cycle. We describe the dynamics of fish and zooplankton populations constituting the community by Ricker’s model, which is well-studied and widely used in population modeling. To consider the species interaction, we use the Holling-II type response function taking into account predator saturation. We carried out the study of the proposed model. The system is shown to have from one to three non-trivial equilibria, which gives the existence of the complete community. In addition to the saddle-node bifurcation, which generates bistability of stationary dynamics, a nontrivial equilibrium loses its stability according to the Neimark-Sacker scenario with an increase in the reproductive potential of both predator and prey species, as a result of which the community exhibits long-period oscillations similar to those observed in experiments. With the higher bifurcation parameter, the reverse Neimark-Sacker bifurcation is shown to occur followed by the closed invariant curve collapses, and dynamics of the population stabilizes, later losing stability through a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations. Multistability complicates the birth and disappearance of the invariant curve in the phase space scenario by the emergence of another irregular dynamics in the system with the single unstable nontrivial fixed point. At fixed values of the model parameters and different initial conditions, the system considered is shown to demonstrate various quasi-periodic oscillations. Despite extreme simplicity, the proposed discrete-time model of community dynamics demonstrates a wide variety and variability of dynamic modes. It shows that the influence of environmental conditions can change the type and nature of the observed dynamics.

Postembryonic Development of The Edible Dormouse (Glis Glis Linnaeus, 1766)
Authors: Vekhnik Victoria A.
Published: August 2023

The period of postnatal development in the edible dormouse occurs before hibernation, causing a restricted period of growth. Four stages can be identified according to the morphological development and behavior in the nesting period. Dormice are born completely naked, unable to move independently. During the second stage (11–21 days), juveniles acquire a variety of movements. The third stage (22–30 days) begins with opening the eyes and is associated with the activity outside the nest. During the fourth stage (31–44 days) juveniles gradually become independent of their mother. Bright peculiarity of the species postembryonic development is three simultaneous ways of feeding from the 16th day up to the end of lactation on the 39-43rd days: milk, chewed by mother food and firm forages. In social interactions cases of strict aggression are scarce. Dynamic socio-hierarchical structure of litters with the absence of stepped hierarchy is observed. As a whole, during the period of early ontogenesis strategy of the species provides the maximal survival of posterity instead of concurrence inside litters. Geographical differences in time frames of early ontogenesis, found when comparison of data from different regions, maybe caused both by intraspecific variation and peculiarities of local populations.

Published: August 2023

This study was conducted to find out the effect of 5 periods of exposure to laser rays (0,15,10,5,20) minutes on the phenotypic mutations of Drosophila melanogaster, as well as calculating the percentage of mortality and the percentage of larval failure. The results showed that laser beams had significant effects in causing mutations, especially in the 15-minute period, which amounted to 0.33 and thus formed significant differences compared to the control group. The periods of exposure to laser rays also caused clear effects in the rate of larval mortality, as the death rate was 100% for the period of 20 minutes, while this rate decreased to 27% and 34% for the periods 5 and 10 minutes, respectively, while the lowest failure rate was 0% at the period 20, which led to the death of all the larvae.

The application of the study of the history and current state of volunteering is conditioned by the presence of some systemic problems, such as political and legal, profit, environmental, and socio-artistic, which are reflected at the global and community levels. In ultra-modern countries, where the behavior and impact of destructive spheres are complex and multidimensional, it is not always possible to overcome these problems without the participation of active citizens who engage in volunteer activities. At the present stage, volunteering is an important social force in terms of the number and nature of conditionality, which, together with other political institutions such as countries, interstate and supranational associations, determines the policies and strategies of the future of humanity. Therefore, the article aims to summarize theoretical provisions on the content of volunteering, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its historical development and current state. An equally important task is to substantiate practical recommendations on promising ways to develop domestic volunteering, in particular among students. In the course of the study, general scientific and special methods were used, which allowed for a comprehensive study of the historical, theoretical aspects, and praxeological dimensions of volunteering. The method of analysis was chosen to process scientific works on the research topic. The method of synthesis was utilized to systematize scientific developments. Besides, observation and generalization allowed us to comprehend the identified international and Ukrainian realities of volunteering development. Moreover, concretization was applied to formulate specific conclusions and proposals based on the material analyzed.

The Effect of Finishing and Polishing Systems on Surface Roughness and Microbial Adhesion of Bulk Fill Composites: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Ismail Hoda Saleh , Ali Ashraf Ibrahim
Published: August 2023

Objectives: This paper presents a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of different finishing and polishing (F/P) systems on surface roughness (SR) and microbial adhesion to bulk fill (BF) composites.
Materials and Methods: An electronic search of 3 databases (the National Library of Medicine [MEDLINE/PubMed], Scopus, and ScienceDirect) was conducted. Only in vitro studies that evaluated SR and microbial adhesion to BF composites were included. The included studies were individually evaluated for the risk of bias following predetermined criteria. A meta-analysis of the reviewed studies was conducted to compare the SR values of both Filtek Bulk Fill and Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill with and without F/P using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software.
Results: A total of 12 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis showed no significant difference between Filtek Bulk Fill and Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill without F/P or after F/P using multi-step systems. Different F/P systems affected the SR values, on the other hand, did not affect microbial adhesion values.
Conclusion: Both Filtek Bulk Fill and Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill had comparable roughness results. Multi-step systems may be preferable for F/P of BF composites.

Published: August 2023

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess how different soft drinks affect the deterioration of conventional and memory orthodontic elastomeric chains.
Materials and Methods: We used 500 five-loop segments of elastomeric chains, which were divided into two equal groups of conventional and memory chains. The samples were kept in artificial saliva during the study period. Each group was further divided into 5 subgroups consisting of artificial saliva (controls), Coca-Cola®, non-alcoholic beer (ISTAK®), and carbonated and non-carbonated yoghurt-based drinks (Alis®). Treatment with the soft drinks consisted of immersion in the test liquids twice a day for 3 minutes each time. Force measurements were taken on days 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Data were analyzed using One- and three-way ANOVA tests, and independent t-test, with a significance level of 5%.
Results: The mean initial force for the conventional and memory elastomeric chains was 3.34±0.112N and 2.49±0.209N, respectively. Conventional chains showed significantly greater degradation than memory chains (P<0.01). Soft drinks had a significant impact on force degradation for both types of chains at all time points (P<0.01). Coca-Cola® had the highest level of force degradation, while non-carbonated yoghurt-based drinks had the lowest (P<0.01).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that orthodontic patients choose non-carbonated yoghurt-based drinks during their treatment. Memory elastomeric chains may be more suitable for patients who consume large amounts of carbonated soft drinks, due to their lower amount of force degradation compared to conventional chains.

Introduction: Gastric cancer; Case-Control; Conditional logistic regression; Bayesian; Matching.Gastric cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers in Iran. Gastric cancer is highly dependent on nutritional factors and geographical location. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nutritional factors on gastric cancer in Hamadan-Iran.
Methods: This study was performed as a matched case-control study that each case had two controls that matched with cases in age (±5 years) and gender at Diagnostic and Treatment Center of Mahdieh in Hamedan, Iran. First and second control groups contain persons with and without family history of cancer, respectively. Information of nutritional, epidemiological and confounding variables were collected for 100 cases and 200 controls. Controls from hospital samples, friends and acquaintances of the case group were selected. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using conditional logistic regression by Bayesian method.
Results: Findings showed that, compared with individuals in the case group with the family history group with factors hot food (OR=2.35, 0.95%CrI=(1.82,5.19)), black tea (OR=1.60, 0.95%CrI (1.44,1.72)) cigarettes (OR=2.13, 0.95%CrI=(1.68,2.96)), red meat (OR=4.28, 0.95%CrI=(3.11,8.37)), residence (OR=3.15, 0.95%CrI= (1.62,5.65)), fruit (OR=0.75, 0.95% CrI=(0.63,0.83)) and vegetables (OR=0.76, 0.95%CrI=(0.59,0.85)) there was a strong statistical correlation. The results were also valid for the second control group.
Conclusion: The study showed that many controllable nutritional factors in Hamadan affect the incidence of gastric cancer. It is recommended that policymakers and managers inform the public about the risk factors and prevention of gastric cancer through the publication of brochures, television and newspapers.
