Authors: Buist Mirka , Damercheli Shahrzad , Zbinden Jan , Tat Nhat Troung Minh , Mastinu Enzo , Ortiz-Catalan Max
Published: November 2023

Sensorimotor impairment is a prevalent condition requiring effective rehabilitation strategies. This study introduces a novel wearable device for Mindful Sensorimotor Training (MiSMT) designed for sensory and motor rehabilitation. Our MiSMT device combines motor training using myoelectric pattern recognition along sensory training using two tactile displays. This device offers a comprehensive solution, integrating electromyography and haptic feedback, lacking in existing devices.

The device features eight electromyography channels, a rechargeable battery, and wireless Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity for seamless communication with a computer or mobile device. Its flexible material allows for adaptability to various body parts, ensuring ease of use in diverse patients. The two tactile displays, with 16 electromagnetic actuators each, provide touch and vibration sensations up to 250 Hz.

In this proof-of-concept study, we show improved two-point discrimination after 5 training sessions in participants with intact limbs (p=0.047). We also demonstrated successful acquisition, processing, and decoding of myoelectric signals in offline and online evaluations.

In conclusion, the MiSMT device presents a promising tool for sensorimotor rehabilitation by combining motor execution and sensory training benefits. Further studies are required to assess its effectiveness in individuals with sensorimotor impairments. Integrating mindful sensory and motor training with innovative technology can enhance rehabilitation outcomes and improve the quality of life for those with sensorimotor impairments.
Migrating a Legacy System to a Microservice Architecture
Authors: Tuusjärvi Kristian , Kasurinen Jussi , Hyrynsalmi Sami
Published: November 2023

Background: In software engineering, each software product has a life cycle that at some point results in a decision being made with regard to extending its maintenance or upgrading the system to a new platform and architecture via a re-engineering or migration process. However, sometimes this decision is a non-starter; the technical dept accumulates, and platforms cease to exist, meaning that there will always be a time when extending the life support of a legacy system is no longer simply an option, and the service must be modernized.

Aim: In this paper, we focus on the migration processes, where a legacy system is updated to a microservice architecture, to understand the current state-of-the-art, applied industry practices and potential pitfalls or research gaps in the topic domain. The study aims to explore previous research to find related trends and expose gaps in the literature.

Method: We conducted a systematic mapping study on the research trends within the topic of redesign and re-engineering projects related to microservice architectures to understand what we know about microservices, what the current research trends in the area are, and if possible, what the common nominators for successful migration processes are.

Results: Our observations reveal that most microservice migration research is confined to journal articles and conference proceedings. However, a severe fragmentation in publication venues exists within the field. Furthermore, the focus of the research field is primarily on the transformation phase of the re-engineering process, with the majority of the contributions being managerial in nature, particularly of the process type. Additionally, over 50 % of the research conducted is empirical in nature.

Conclusion: Based on the results, microservice migration research is maturing well; most of the research is empirical. The research field is scattered. There are notable technical, managerial, and organizational challenges and differing motivations. To better understand the motivations and challenges of the practitioners, we are going to conduct survey and interview studies within this field.

Analisis Otomatisasi Kalibrator Tekanan Udara Portabel dengan Pengontrol PID dengan Metode Ziegler-Nichols dan Åström–Hägglund
Authors: Santoso Budi , Siregar Masbah R.T. , Multi Abdul , Ridwan Muhammad
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Atmospheric pressure is one of the weather parameters that have an important role in meteorological services, especially inflight transportation. Atmospheric pressure sensors must be calibrated regularly to ensure the measurement results. The increasing number of atmospheric pressure sensors makes it impossible to calibrate in the laboratory because it can result in meteorological service downtime. Portable calibrators can be used to overcome this problem, by utilizing peristaltic pumps, solenoid valves, and microcomputers. The PID control is programmed on the microcomputer to control the speed of the peristaltik pump and the cycle of the solenoid valve to generate air pressure according to the set point determined automatically using the PID control. The Åström–Hägglund method has the lowest average stability uncertainty value at 0,003 hPa/

Published: November 2023

Abstract

 

BMKG is one of the government agencies that provides Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysic observation data, sent from each Work Unit or Site Sensor. One of the communication media used is VSAT. The Ku-band channel is one of the frequencies used by the BMKG for communication and data transmission. The Ku-band channel has a weakness for propagation, namely rain attenuation. It is necessary to calculate the effect of rain attenuation on the Ku-band channel, in order to obtain efficient power by each earth station. Model ITU-R P.618-5 is one of the rain attenuation prediction models and is generally used for frequencies up to 30 GHz. One of the BMKG station locations that uses the Ku-Band channel is Mopah Merauke Station. With rainfall data of 80.2 mm/hour in Mopah Merauke, ITU-R P.618-5 produces a rain attenuation of 17.86 dB. While the percentage of error with measurement data is 30.1%.

Optimization of vehicle routing problem using guided local search and simulated annealing
Authors: Salsabila Ainun Syifa , Taufik
Published: November 2023

Transportation concerns in the supply chain are important because they have the potential to greatly raise logistical requirements. The proposed solution to the issue is the vehicle routing problem. The Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem (HFVRP) model will be implemented in this study using the metaheuristic methodology together with the Guided Local Search (GLS) and Simulated Annealing (SA) approaches for case studies. Python 3.10 software was used to analyze the SA and GLS, and the Google OR-Tools module was used. Implementing the SA and GLS algorithm based on data from the case study in a logistics company involved in the distribution of chicken feed and gas is the goal of this project. By doing so, it will be possible to determine whether the current situation is ideal or if it could be improved to reduce the number of vehicles used, find the best route, lower shipping costs, and increase efficiency. The findings of this study show that when compared to the GLS algorithm, research employing SA produces better outcomes in terms of cost and route management. According to actual data, SA increases income by an average amount between 3% and 10%.

A facile approach to novel medicinally relevant spiro heterocyclic scaffolds (namely furan-2(5H)-ones, tetrahydrofurans and pyrans spiro-conjugated with the succinimide ring) has been developed. The protocol consists of Rh(II)-catalyzed insertion of heterocyclic carbenes derived from diazo arylidene succinimides (DAS) into the O-H bond of propiolic/allenic acids or brominated alcohols, followed by base-promoted cyclization to afford the target spirocyclic compounds in good to high yields.
WOMEN’S ENTREPRENEURSHIP – A PROMISING POTENTIAL FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Akybayeva Gulvira , Mussabekova Ainash
Published: November 2023

The paper describes development trends of women’s entrepreneurship in the second half of the XIX century and in the beginning of the XX century, which are established on the basis of statistic materials, measures taken by the country leaders and the facts, which are of interest for the readers. It is noted that with the transition to market conditions, women’s business developed in the form of “shuttle” business, which, to some extent, mitigated the shortage of consumer goods and helped “shuttle” entrepreneurs and those who provided them with infrastructure to survive. The shuttle business, which was mainly women’s business, helped create initial capital for the further development of women’s classic entrepreneurship. Statistical materials show that the development of women’s business in the subsequent period was notable for its intensity regardless of objective and subjective reasons that created difficulties for female entrepreneurs. The research was carried out as part of a project funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. AP14871920).
PROBLEMS OF ASSESSING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MODERN MILITARY MAN-MADE DISASTERS
Authors: Zharova Liubov , Kinash Anastasiia , Buriak Glib
Published: November 2023

Environmental terrorism is currently becoming one of the tools of war. In modern realities, no country can be immune from such actions, therefore it is urgent to refine the existing methods and approaches for describing, systematizing, and assessing the consequences of environmental disasters associated with war and conflicts. Under the conditions of wars and active hostilities, the assessment and recording of the consequences is possible under the guarantee of the safety of the observers, therefore, all available materials, including photographs of the territory, should be used for this purpose. In the above study, we tried to systematize the currently known consequences of undermining the Kakhovka dam. Attention was also drawn to the complexity of such consequences, which makes it difficult to assess them in the short and long term.
Neutron monitor yield function: improved spectral computations of the Forbush decrease of June 2015
Authors: Mavromichalaki Helen , Livada Maria , Xaplanteris Loukas , Dimosthenous Nafsika
Published: November 2023

In this work a new improved coupling function by Xaplanteris et al. (2021) based on Quantum Field Theory is applied for spectral analysis of cosmic rays. This new coupling function had already been confirmed in the
application of cosmic rays with the calculation of primary cosmic ray intensity during Forbush decreases and Ground Level Enhancements but this is the first time that it is used for the calculation of spectral index.
To describe the rigidity spectrum of the GCR during a Forbush decrease, a power law in rigidity is often used. The exponent of this power law, the spectral index, describes the hardness of the GCR spectrum. The spectrum
of the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) becomes harder during the Forbush decrease main phase. For this analysis the Forbush decrease of the cosmic ray intensity observed on June 2015 was chosen. Daily cosmic ray data of the
neutron monitor stations obtained from the high-resolution neutron monitor database-(NMDB) were used for calculating the cosmic ray density and anisotropy variations. For the spectral analysis of the galactic cosmic
rays the technique of Wawrzynczak and Alania (2010) is applied, based on the coupling coefficient method. The obtained results of the Fd analysis by using the new coupling function by Xaplanteris et al. (2021) are
compared with the results obtained based on the coupling function by Clem and Dorman (2000).
The Impact of Pickup Ion Thermal Spread on Pickup Ion Ring-beam-driven Instabilities and Scattering in the Outer Heliosheath
Authors: Mousavi Ameneh , Liu Kaijun , Sadeghzadeh Sina
Published: November 2023

The present study investigates the unstable waves driven by the pickup ions of ring-beam distributions with various pickup angles and pickup ion temperatures in the outer heliosheath, using both linear instability analysis and hybrid simulations. While previous papers have generally assumed specific pickup ion temperatures, this study takes a more comprehensive approach by examining a wide range of pickup ion temperatures that may occur in the outer heliosheath. Our one-dimensional simulations demonstrate that regardless of the initial pickup ion temperature, the pitch-angle scattering of the pickup ions at small pickup angles saturates before the pickup ions can reach the hemisphere of negative parallel velocities with respect to the background magnetic field in velocity space, while at a 90° pickup angle, the pickup ions of ring distributions attain a significant level of isotropy. In contrast, the two-dimensional simulation results show that at all pickup angles, increasing the pickup ion temperature only slightly reduces the pickup ion scattering rate, but does not prevent the pickup ions from reaching the hemisphere of negative parallel velocities. Overall, the results do not align with the requirements of the earlier proposed scenarios for the secondary energetic neutral atom (ENA) mechanism of the Interstellar Boundary Explorer ENA ribbon, which demand either weak pickup ion scattering in the outer heliosheath or at least incomplete pickup ion scattering in the off-ribbon directions.

Published: November 2023

Both genetic and environmental factors affect the morphology of oysters. Molecular identification is currently the primary means of species identification, but it is inconvenient and costly. In this study, we assessed the ability of geometric morphometric (GM) methods to identify two species of oysters (Crassostrea gigas and C. ariakensis). We used traditional morphometric and GM methods, including principal component analysis (PCA), thin-plate spline analysis (TPS), and canonical variable analysis (CVA), to identify specific features that distinguish the two species. We found that differences in shape can be visualized using GM methods. The Procrustes analysis revealed significant differences in shell morphology between C. gigas and C. ariakensis. The shells of C. ariakensis are more prominent at the widest point and are more scattered and have a greater variety of shapes. The shells of C. gigas are more oval in shape. PCA results indicated that PC1 explained 45.22%, PC2 explained 22.09%, and PC3 explained 10.98% of the variation between the two populations, which suggests that the main morphological differences are concentrated in these three principal components. Combining the TPS analysis function plots showed that the shell shape of C. ariakensis is mainly elongated and spindle-shaped, whereas the shell shape of C. gigas is more oval. The CVA results showed that the classification rate for the two populations reached 100% which means that C. ariakensis and C. gigas have distinct differences in shell morphology and can be completely separated based on morphological characteristics. Through these methods, a more comprehensive understanding of the morphological characteristics of different oyster populations can be obtained, providing a reference for oyster classification and identification.

Aim. The aim of this study is to evaluate treatment retrospectively, response to the therapy and outcomes in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and to what extent the European recommendations of LeukemiaNET (ELN) are followed at the Hematology Clinic, University Hospital “St. Georgi”, MU Plovdiv.

Methods. All patients with Ph+, BCR-ABL1+ CML who were treated and observed between 01.01.2018 and 12.31.2022 at the clinic were included in the study and were analyzed retrospectively.

Results. One hundred and eighty-eight patients with a mean age of 61.26 (21–91) years were analyzed. 151 (80.3%) were in chronic phase (CP), 27 (14.4%) in accelerating one and 10 (5.3%) in blast crisis. The actual overall survival rate was 79.26%, while for CP it is very high – 86.75%, and the mortality rate is 20.74%. All patients received some form of tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy (TKIs-therapy). The first line TKI was imatinib in 120 patients (64%), and 68 (36%) received a second-generation TKI. Treatment response was monitored with TKIs by RT-qPCR.

Conclusion.CML patients treated in the hematology clinic receive standard care in accordance with ELN and BMSH recommendations. Overall survival (OS) in routine care is comparable to published data from international studies. Molecular monitoring provides a good basis for disease control in CP. There are unmet needs in the treatment of patients in advanced stages.
Essai sur la construction de l’identité

Published: November 2023

Cet article propose une conceptualisation métapsychologique de la construction de l’identité en appui sur les concepts fondamentaux de la théorie kleinienne et post-kleinienne. À partir du concept d’identification projective et de ses développements par W. R. Bion et J. S. Grotstein notamment, l’identité apparaît comme relevant d’un processus complexe engageant de manière itérative un sujet (bébé) et un objet (parent ou professionnel). C’est fondamentalement au travers des caractéristiques quantitatives et qualitatives du lien inter-subjectif qui les unit qu’une telle construction se développe, dans une singularité chaque fois renouvelée.
No body, nobody

Les personnes atteintes d’autisme ont le fantasme de ne pas avoir un corps capable de contenir toutes les parties de leur personnalité en un ensemble cohérent. Elles sont à la recherche d’un corps d’emprunt pour faire face à leurs angoisses profondes d’écoulement, d’explosion, de morcellement. L’auteur montre, à partir d’un matériel précis issu d’un travail analytique avec des autistes, la tendance de ces sujets à utiliser leur sexualité mal organisée, diffuse et non orientée, comme une couverture propre à les protéger de ces angoisses. Certains sujets porteurs de dysphorie de genre répondent à ce mécanisme défensif où une pseudo-sexualité sans objet défini est utilisée comme défense contre des angoisses autistiques.

Le soldat augmenté : combattant ou moyen de combat ? État des lieux des défis pour le droit international
Authors: Ancelin Julien
Published: November 2023

La perspective de la mise au point et du déploiement de soldats augmentés sur les prochains théâtres de conflictualité soulève, pour le droit international, de nombreux questionnements. Sur le plan terminologique, le « soldat augmenté » ne connaît pas de définition unanimement acceptée par les États, ce qui nécessite d’interroger son périmètre et de confronter son existence aux catégories qui structurent l’analyse juridique. Sur le plan substantiel, l’augmentation des capacités des acteurs du conflit amène à questionner l’applicabilité et l’application des règles qui préservent les individus et les combattants contre certains excès. Il est donc nécessaire de confronter les projets d’augmentation du soldat aux garanties dont dispose l’ordre juridique international afin d’éclairer les risques que cette disruption technologique pourra entraîner. Le présent article dresse un état des lieux des défis et des réponses que le droit international des droits de l’homme et le droit international humanitaire offrent, et s’insère ainsi dans les questionnements envisagés par le dossier thématique que la revue Les Champs de Mars se propose d’éclairer.
Les débats sur le soldat augmenté : quand l’emploi des technologies d’amélioration de l’humain en milieu militaire n’engendre toujours pas de controverses enflammées
Authors: Coste Frédéric
Published: November 2023

Cet article ne vise pas à analyser les termes des discussions qui portaient sur le soldat augmenté à la fin des années 2010, mais à caractériser les débats. Depuis maintenant deux décennies, dans certains pays anglo-saxons et européens, cette thématique fait en effet l’objet d’une production relativement dense de commentaires et d’analyses. La mise à disposition d’informations et les prises de position répondent au lancement de programmes de R&D au sein des forces armées. Certains acteurs ont décidé de lancer des alertes, mettant en avant les risques inhérents à ce type de programmes. L’objectif est ici de déterminer si la thématique du soldat augmenté faisait véritablement l’objet de débats publics à cette époque. Pour ce faire, cet article s’articule en trois parties. La première permet de démontrer que les prises de position et discussions, d’acteurs très divers, sont particulièrement contraintes par leur objet. La seconde confirme que la thématique du soldat augmenté fait bien l’objet d’un débat public, mais que celui-ci dispose de caractéristiques très particulières (notamment une faible polarisation). Enfin, la troisième partie permet de constater qu’en dehors des États-Unis, l’existence d’un débat public concernant le militaire augmenté permettait certes de formuler et construire un problème public, mais qu’il n’avait pas permis jusqu’alors de réellement le politiser.

De nombreux scientifiques, philosophes et sociologues se penchent sur la question de l’augmentation des performances des combattants du futur. Cette problématique concerne aussi le monde militaire : augmenter le combattant pour démultiplier ses capacités physiques, intellectuelles, morales est un futur auquel le ministère des Armées se prépare. D’une part, les armées sont les témoins des avancées de la société civile et observent les orientations de leurs compétiteurs : cartographier les augmentations potentielles du soldat a structuré les travaux de réflexion et a conduit à proposer le concept exploratoire interarmées sur le soldat augmenté en juin 2022. D’autre part, le pragmatisme opérationnel ne fait pas oublier le cadre légal et juridique, protecteur pour l’être humain. Dès septembre 2020, l’avis rendu par le Comité d’éthique de la défense a proposé des principes directeurs et fixé des lignes rouges. Le présent article propose le regard croisé de deux militaires sur le soldat augmenté, deux camarades de la promotion 29 de l’École de guerre. Ils ont rejoint deux centres de doctrine du ministère des Armées et continuent d’animer les réflexions sur la problématique du soldat augmenté au sein des armées, directions et services (ADS).
La hantise de l’oubli
Authors: Rojas-Urrego Alejandro
Published: November 2023

De l’œuvre photographique Campo Santo de Juan Fernando Herrán, au livre Les Disparus de Daniel Mendelsohn, la question de la disparition suscite une réflexion profonde. Pour les mères des disparus, le deuil est impossible : on ne peut pas faire le deuil d’un disparu. L’objet est disparu ; l’objet n’a pas été encore perdu ; la mélancolie n’est pas encore là ; la réapparition reste toujours possible ; le travail du deuil n’a pas d’objet. Dans la disparition dont il est ici question, il manque le verdict implacable que la réalité apporte sur un objet anéanti, verdict que Freud considère essentiel pour la réalisation du deuil. Les parents des disparus sont hantés par la possibilité de l’oubli. La mémoire individuelle des catastrophes humaines ne coïncide que rarement avec la mémoire collective. Tant pour le collectif que pour l’individuel, il existe une mémoire et un oubli qui se situent du côté de la vie, ainsi qu’une mémoire et un oubli qui résident du côté de la mort.

High-frequency financial data are becoming increasingly available and need to be analyzed under the current circumstances for the market prices of stocks, currencies, risk analysis, portfolio management and other financial instruments. An emblematic challenge in econometrics is estimating the integrated volatility for financial prices, i.e., the quadratic variation of log prices. Following this point, in this paper, we study the estimation of integrated self-weighted volatility, i.e., the generalized style of integrated volatility, by using intraday high-frequency data with noise. In order to reduce the effect of noise, the "pre-averaging" technique is used. Both the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem of the estimator of integrated self-weighted volatility are established in this paper. Meanwhile, a studentized version is also given in order to make some statistical inferences. At the end of this article, the simulation results obtained to evaluate the accuracy of approximating the sampling distributions of the estimator are displayed.

The security of the Internet of Things (IoT) is crucial in various application platforms, such as the smart city monitoring system, which encompasses comprehensive monitoring of various conditions. Therefore, this study conducts an analysis on the utilization of blockchain technology for the purpose of monitoring Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The analysis is carried out by employing parametric objective functions. In the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), it is imperative to establish well-defined intervals for job execution, ensuring that the completion status of each action is promptly monitored and assessed. The major significance of proposed method is to integrate a blockchain technique with neuro-fuzzy algorithm thereby improving the security of data processing units in all smart city applications. As the entire process is carried out with IoT the security of data in both processing and storage units are not secured therefore confidence level of monitoring units are maximized at each state. Due to the integration process the proposed system model is implemented with minimum energy conservation where 93% of tasks are completed with improved security for about 90%.

Although lower education is strongly associated with poor health in minority people, more so than in majority people, pathways underlying the relationships are less understood. This book chapter examined how socioeconomic status (SES) lifestyle mediated the relationships between education and health between majority and minority groups in Bangladesh. In so doing we directly assessed our research objectives from representative sample (N=550, age range 20-30 years) from Muslim (n=190), Hindu (n=180) and Santal (n=180) men in Bangladesh. In data analysis, descriptive and statistical mediating tools were used. The results from mediation analysis suggested that lower SES and lifestyle mediated the association between education and health between majority and minority groups, after accounting for demographic characteristics. The current study provides evidence that lower education, SES and unhealthy lifestyle contributes to poor health in the minority groups in Bangladesh. Further research and health policy implications are discussed.
Control and Research of Computer Virus by Multimedia Technology

Published: November 2023

The rapid development of multimedia technology has brought great changes to people's lives and production. Computer viruses also spread widely through the network. In order to solve the above problems, this article intends to use multimedia technology to control computer viruses, and proposes a virus control method based on SICES model. According to the controlled SICES model and the set objective function, the influence of users' online behavior patterns on virus propagation can be explored, and an optimal control problem is proposed. Through theoretical analysis, the existence of optimal control is proved, and the optimal system is obtained. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the optimal control strategy. In addition, in order to optimize the objective function to make its value smaller, and to control the proportion of infected nodes at a lower level, users should choose the corresponding online behavior mode according to different network structures. For example, on the WS small world network, the network should be frequently disconnected or always kept online.

Published: November 2023

This study focuses on the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on low-cost carriers (LCCs), particularly in comparison to full-service airlines (FSAs). With a target segment of price-sensitive leisure travelers, LCCs have been significantly affected. The objective of this paper is to analyze customer requirements for Thai LCCs during the Covid-19 recovery period and identify strategic improvement decisions accordingly. Nok Air, a well-established LCC in Thailand, is used as a case study. The proposed fuzzy QFD approach is employed to prioritize customer requirements, suggest strategic decisions, and enhance operational practices for the airline's recovery. Key findings include positioning as a premium LCC, offering premium services, increasing ancillary revenue, and improving aircraft utilization. This research is the first to apply fuzzy QFD to prioritize strategic decisions for managing LCCs during the Covid-19 recovery, aiming to enhance customer satisfaction and performance ratings set by the management team.

Objectives: To compare the outcomes of bipolar Transurethral Enucleation Resection of the Prostate (TUERP) and simple retropubic prostatectomy in patients with prostate volumes larger than 80 cc. Patients and methods: A prospective randomized study included all patients amenable to surgeries for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with prostate size over 80 cc at a tertiary care hospital between January 2020 to February 2022. Bipolar TUERP and Retropubic open prostatectomy techniques were compared regarding patients' demographics, intraoperative parameters, outcomes, and peri-operative complications. Results: Ninety patients were included in our study and randomly assigned to bipolar TUERP (Group 1 = 45 patients) and retropubic open prostatectomy (Group 2 = 45 patients). The TUERP group demonstrated significantly lower operative time (77 ± 11 minutes vs. 99 ± 14 minutes, p < 0.001), hemoglobin drop (median = 1.1 vs. 2.5, p < 0.001), and resected tissue weight (71 ± 6.6 cc vs. 84.5 ± 10.6 cc, p < 0.001). Postoperatively, the TUERP group demonstrated significantly lower catheter time (median = 2 vs. 7 days, p < 0.001) and less hospital stay. IPSS, Qmax, and patient satisfaction were better in the TUERP group within six months of surgery. We reported 90-day complications after TUERP in 13.3% of patients compared to 17.8% after retropubic prostatectomy, with a statistically insignificant difference. Urethral stricture predominated after TUERP, while blood transfusion dominated in retropubic prostatectomy. Conclusions: The present study found that TUERP had equivalent efficacy and safety to open retropubic prostatectomy for patients with BPH and prostate volumes > 80 ml.

The patient's health and quality of life would probably be improved with dental implant. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with dental implants place by orthodontic treatment. In this study, information on risk factors associated with implants of sites prepared, radiology stereotypes and hospitalized were obtined from databases such as Scopus, Google scholar and PubMed, and 58 articles were included for this purpose. After analyzing the articles, 24 articles were not accepted and 34 articles were accepted, then, 16 articles were miscarriage and 18 articles were scientific sources. The results showed that orthodontic treatment has a significant effect on a person's sense of beauty and would possibly increase self-confidence and quality of life. The stability of the implant in the healing phase depends on the quality and quantity of the bone. Also, the width of the bone is one of the important issues in creating a successful treatment. When an implant fails, problems and symptoms of failure usually occur within the first year after surgery. After one year, there is only about a 1% chance of failure, and on average only 1% of all implants fail each year.
