Published: January 2024

Humor is an important part of personal communication. How to create a computational model to recognize humor is still a very challenging task in natural language processing and linguistics. In this survey, we applied some rules to leave 29 articles spanning 10 years (2012 to 2023). The main elements covered by this survey include: recent state-of-the-art detection methods using deep learning from years 2012-2023, (2) summarizing features for humor detection from a linguistic perspective, (3) humor detection datasets, evaluation metrics, data domains and languages, (4) some tricks used in humor detection (e.g. Attention mechanism, multimodal), (5) recognizing open problems and highlight the feasible opportunities for future research directions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic survey for humor detection using deep learning. The survey can be used to assist novice and prominent researchers to understand the concept of humor, popular method and future research direction and so on.

They agreed that, appropriately, OAR should be free of charge and be used for other legal purposes. However, there were many differences in understanding other aspects. The aspect of the most debate between them was the obligation to open all documents; 30% of participants from librarians disagreed on this aspect. The correlations between librarian perceptions and patterns of OAR are apparent from the results: 65% of librarians agree with OA, and 63% of repositories implement full OAR. Conclusion this research are librarians' perceptions influence the implementation of open access repository policies.
Reynsla kennara og annars fagfólks grunnskóla af aukinni áherslu á velferð nemenda með n´ámserfiðleika
Authors: Harðardóttir Sigrún , Karlsdóttir Ingibjörg , Johnson Margaret Anne
Published: January 2024

Velferð og farsæl námsframvinda nemenda hvílir að miklu leyti á herðum grunnskóla og því er mikilvægt að beina sjónum að því hvað þarf til að gera starfsfólki kleift að mæta fjölbreytilegum þörfum þeirra. Hér er sagt frá niðurstöðum rannsóknar á upplifun og reynslu kennara og annars fagfólks af kennslu og stuðningi við nemendur með námserfiðleika í grunnskólum sem hafa verið greindir með ADHD, einhverfu, almenna og sértæka námserfiðleika og tourette-heilkenni, auk nemenda sem glíma við tilfinninga- og félagslega erfiðleika. Rannsóknin er hluti af stærra rannsóknarverkefni um stuðning við grunnskólanemendur með námserfiðleika. Markmið rannsóknar var að kanna reynslu kennara og annars fagfólks af þeim áskorunum sem fylgja kennslu og stuðningi við nemendur með námserfiðleika. Rannsóknin var eigindleg og tekin voru átta rýnihópaviðtöl við fagfólk innan 19 grunnskóla sem sinnir nemendum í 3.–10. bekk. Alls tóku 49 einstaklingar þátt í rannsókninni. Í viðtölunum var leitast við að fá fram álit viðmælenda á helstu áskorunum sem þeir standa frammi fyrir í starfinu, hvað gengi vel og hvað þyrfti að bæta. Niðurstöður sýna að viðmælendur upplifðu ýmsar áskoranir sem fylgdu því að takast á við fjölbreytileikann í nemendahópnum í samræmi við ákvæði laga um nám og velferð nemenda. Auk þess kom fram að skortur er á úrræðum og aðstoð fagfólks með fjölbreytta sérhæfingu innan skóla. Að mati viðmælenda er þó margt vel gert. Í því sambandi kom til dæmis fram að kennurum fannst hafa gefist vel að geta gefið nemendum tækifæri til að blómstra í verklegum greinum með aukinni áherslu á þær greinar í stundatöflu. Þannig fengist hvíld frá bóklegu námi sem þau ættu yfirleitt í erfiðleikum með en þau gætu verið sterk í verklegum greinum, svo sem myndmennt, smíði og nýsköpun. Út frá niðurstöðunum má draga þá ályktun að brýn þörf sé á að bæta faglegan stuðning við starfsfólk skóla vegna nemenda með námserfiðleika
Prófadrifin kennsla og umhyggja fyrir stærðfræðinámi
Authors: Gíslason Ingólfur
Published: January 2024

Í íslenskum framhaldsskólum taka nemendur iðulega mörg próf í sínum stærðfræðiáföngum, bæði hlutapróf og lokapróf, auk þess sem þeir skila öðrum verkefnum sem gilda til lokaeinkunnar. Nemendur og kennarar eru oft mjög uppteknir af þessu prófahaldi. Nemendur hafa áhyggjur af árangri sínum á prófum og kennarar verja miklum tíma í að undirbúa og fara yfir próf. Ég ræði og greini slíka prófadrifna stærðfræðikennslu frá heimspekilegu sjónarhorni sem nefnist umhyggja fyrir stærðfræðinámi. Það sjónarhorn byggir á að leiða saman hugmyndir um stærðfræðikennslu sem umhyggju fyrir nemendum og umhyggju fyrir stærðfræði, auk umhyggju fyrir samfélaginu í heild. Markmið rannsóknarinnar er að setja fram og nota slíkt siðferðislegt sjónarhorn til að gagnrýna námsmatvenjur í stærðfræðikennslu. Ég set fram og túlka átta stuttar atvikasögur úr eigin stærðfræðikennslu í íslenskum framhaldsskólum sem tengjast prófum og einkunnagjöf. Sögurnar varpa ljósi á hvað umhyggja fyrir stærðfræðinámi felur í sér og hvaða möguleikar eru til að iðka slíka umhyggju í prófadrifinni kennslu. Sögurnar draga einnig fram „þrefalda togstreitu“ sem stærðfræðikennarar þurfa að takast á við í starfi sínu: Í fyrsta lagi að reyna að mæta þeim þörfum sem nemendur tjá og rækta tengsl við þá, í öðru lagi að hafa í heiðri gildi stærðfræðinnar um sannleiksleit og röksemdafærslur og í þriðja lagi að uppfylla kröfur skólakerfisins og samfélagsins um mælanlegan árangur af kennslunni. Niðurstöður mínar eru að prófadrifin kennsla hafa grafið undan umhyggju minni og nemenda minna fyrir stærðfræðinámi.

Haciendo mundo y haciéndonos en él mediante la experiencia estética
Authors: Benezra Cuevas Andrea
Published: January 2024

Debido a la búsqueda de objetividad y universalidad de la estética filosófica como disciplina académica, la experiencia estética se ha visto enfrentada a la vida cotidiana, perdiendo el enriquecimiento de un contexto y su relación a valores morales, culturales y a la utilidad. Como consecuencia, la falta de reconocimiento de estos valores por parte de la disciplina académica ha conducido a una fragmentación de la experiencia estética que ha concluido en la ignorancia del papel que toma esta en el día a día. En el siguiente trabajo se pretende exponer la necesidad de reconciliar nuevamente la experiencia estética con la vida cotidiana a través del concepto de world-making de Yuriko Saito, que consiste en la comprensión del mundo como un proyecto común en el que todos contribuimos mediante las decisiones que tomamos en relación a la experiencia estética. Por otro lado, también se tratará de mostrar por que? tomar conciencia del lugar que tiene la experiencia estética en la vida cotidiana ayudaría a entender la relación que tenemos con el mundo, como consecuencia de la experiencia estética, a través de nuestra acción; y cómo, en definitiva, el impacto de nuestra acción en el mundo revierte sobre nosotros mismos por ser el mundo el sustento de nuestras oportunidades, y en definitiva, de nuestra vida.
¿Qué es la "mystique sauvage"?
Authors: Gutiérrez Echegoyen Pablo
Published: January 2024

En este artículo, me propongo mostrar que el concepto de mística salvaje tal y como fue desarrollado por Michel Hulin—en una obra que cumple treinta años desde su publicación—apunta a una dimensión clave del fenómeno religioso que debe ser tomada en cuenta por las disciplinas dedicadas a su estudio (filosofía, teología, antropología, etc.), especialmente si la cuestión estudiada es aquello que llamamos “mística” (“misticismo”, o “contemplación”). Intento mostrar también que Hulin utiliza el concepto de lo salvaje en tres sentidos interrelacionados: el psicológico (que es el que abre toda la reflexión), el existencial y el hermenéutico. A partir de aquí, sostengo finalmente que la contribución de Hulin justifica una reflexión más amplia sobre lo salvaje en la mística que se extiende a consideraciones sobre cierto tipo de conversión religiosa, y sobre la idea de la gracia como espontaneidad divina y acontecimiento, tratados aquí en el contexto de la mística cristiana.
La ecoespiritualidad de Michel Maxime Egger: una metanoia trinitaria y panenteísta
Authors: Jiménez Romero Talía
Published: January 2024

En los últimos años ha crecido el interés -tanto en la academía como en las distintas formas de activismo ambiental, social y político- por el fenómeno de la espiritualización de la ecología y la ecologización de lo religioso. En contexto francófono, la ecoespiritualidad se ha convertido en un tema abordado por estudios en teología contemporánea, así como en investigaciones sociológicas y antropológicas. Este artículo realiza un análisis de las implicaciones teológicas del concepto de ecoespiritualidad desarrollado por Michel Maxime Egger. Para ello, se abordarán brevemente las principales bases epistemológicas y ontológicas sobre las cuales esta concepción se sustenta: la trinidad de Raimon Panikkar, la teología mística de los padres de la Iglesia ortodoxa, el pantenteísmo y la ecopsicología.

Treatment planning principles for orthodontic-surgical correction of dento-facial anomalies
Authors: Vig Katherine W.L.
Published: January 2024

The development of a combined orthodontic and surgical approach to the treatment of dento-facial anomalies has resulted in the close collaboration of the oral surgeon and orthodontist in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and management of these cases. Although many dento-facial anomalies are just extremes of normal variations, the methods used in orthodontics for evaluating facial balance and aesthetics can be applied to developmental and congenital anomalies in which the facial complex is deformed, deficient, or out of proportion. Methods of clinical and radiographic assessment are described and the sequencing and timing of treatment in the growing child discussed. Special reference is made to the cleft palate patient in which the same methods of evaluation are applied.
A review of the management of anterior open bite malocclusion
Authors: Lawry Denise M. , Heggie Andrew A.C. , Crawford Edward C. , Kevin Ruljancich M.
Published: January 2024

Anterior openbite (AOB) malocclusion is considered one of the most demanding challenges for the orthodontist, as occlusal correction is difficult, facial aesthetics may be unsatisfactory and the incidence of relapse is high.

A retrospective cephalometric study of 19 consecutively treated AOB patients is presented. The follow-up ranged from 12 to 48 months. Several case reports are included to demonstrate a contemporary approach combining orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. The results indicate that overbite was maintained with good vertical skeletal stability. Anteroposterior position was less stable. Posterior facial height was maintained or decreased, and there was no evidence of postsurgical maxillary incisor movement.

It is concluded that occlusal stability and clinical success may be anticipated when certain criteria are adhered to in all phases of treatment, and that a coordinated surgical-orthodontic treatment approach currently offers the best chance of attaining occlusal stability, improved function and satisfactory aesthetics.

An Study Regarding a New Concept of 3D Printing Using a 6 Axis Industrial Robotic ARM
Authors: Hrib Valeriu-Fănică , Chifan Florin , Ciorap Mariana , Dumitraş Cătălin Gabriel
Published: January 2024

This paper focuses on a topic that is frequently used nowadays namely 3D printing. The term 3D printing encompasses several manufacturing technologies that build parts layer-by-layer an inconvenience of this process is that the deposition of material takes place in the plane (2D space) then by applying a constant increment on the third axis it is moved to the next plane. The deposition of material is taking part in a 2D space. There are many types of 3D printing such as FDM (fused deposition modeling), SLA (stereolitography), SLS (selective laser sintering), DMLS (direct metal laser sintering), DLP (digital light process), EBM (electron beam melting). Typically these applications involve low-volumes and complex geometries. Often, components for aerospace and medical applications are ideal candidates for production 3D printing. This paper proposes a new approach to the 3d printing process by using a robotic arm to ensure more than 3 degrees of freedom and deposition paths with spatial orientation. One propose two types of working: nonplanar with the tip normal to the working plane and nonplanar with the tip normal to the trajectory.
Some Aspects on the Elastic Behavior of a Bimetal Considering the Sensitivity of the Thickness of the Layers
Authors: Aignătoaie Mihail
Published: January 2024

Bimetals are usual designed by use of analytical formulas based on the beams theory from the Strength of materials. The paper presents a FEA study of a bimetal beam with two layers: Invar and Copper. The sensitivity of the thickness of layers was considered for: equal layers thickness, thickness calculated with a formula recommended in classical literature for optimizing the deformation (based on the Young modulus of the components) and several intermediary thickness values. For the case of the equal layers thickness the results from FEA and analytical formulas are compared. For all the studied models stress and deformation components from the longitudinal symmetry plane area are presented by comparison. The CAD and FEA models were developed within the FreeCAD open-source package.
Apuntes conceptuales para una actualización de la sociología de la familia. El concepto de «familia multiespecie» como pieza fundamental
Authors: Rodríguez Cáceres Víctor , Corayl Villalobos Natalia
Published: January 2024

Los animales no-humanos históricamente han sido excluidos y marginados de conceptos sociológicos de capital importancia como lo son «sociedad», «comunidad» o «familia». Este artículo busca poner en tensión y problematizar sobre este último concepto, partiendo por entender que el auge del interés por lo que en este último tiempo se ha denominado como el «giro animal» nos obliga a quienes nos interesa el quehacer y la reflexión sociológica a cuestionarnos sobre la carga antropocéntrica que este y otros conceptos contienen. Se revisitará el concepto de «familia» y se hará un repaso por sus formulaciones tradicionales y contemporáneas, todo esto desde la óptica de la sociología de la familia. Finalmente, y teniendo en cuenta la idea de «familia multiespecie» se esbozarán algunas propuestas para avanzar hacia una actualización del cuerpo teórico de la sociología de la familia, argumentando que la «sociología de la familia multiespecie» puede constituirse como subcampo de interés.
Familia multiespecie y lazo afectivo como «base de la sociedad»: lecturas jurídicopolíticas
Authors: Ávila Gaitán Iván Darío
Published: January 2024

Este artículo tiene por objetivo argumentar que actualmente es posible evidenciar un tránsito hacia la consideración de la familia multiespecie, y del propio lazo afectivo que esta presupone, como «base de la sociedad». Para ello, en primer lugar, presentaremos dos casos jurídico-políticos relacionados con la familia multiespecie en Colombia, lo cual nos conducirá a la tematización de la familia como un dispositivo especista en transformación. En segundo lugar, contemplando los cambios experimentados durante las últimas décadas, expondremos tres modelos de familia multiespecie y concluiremos esbozando algunas consecuencias jurídico-políticas.
De la crueldad animal a la dominación social interespecie y el autoritarismo: una revisión teórica desde la psicología social
Authors: Ponce León Juan José
Published: January 2024

Este artículo busca presentar un debate teórico contemporáneo, a partir de una extensa revisión de literatura especializada, en el campo de la psicología social y política sobre la configuración del prejuicio y la dominación interespecie —especismo— y entre grupos sociales humanos, así como su irreductible imbricación analítica. Para ello, este texto se divide en tres apartados. En el primero, a modo de introducción se presentan investigaciones pioneras desde el campo de la psicología y la criminología, las que a partir de los años ochenta empezaron el estudio de la relación entre la crueldad hacia los animales y la violencia interpersonal. En el segundo, se esbozan los modelos teóricos más relevantes para el estudio del especismo, que toman como base la teoría de la dominación social, junto con otras categorías analíticas relevantes como: estrés traumático inducido por perpetración, estrés moral y adormecimiento psíquico, que permiten explicar procesos psicosociales subyacentes a la violencia especista. Finalmente, se expone la masculinización de este tipo de violencia y los mecanismos de genderización detrás de la dominación social

Published: January 2024

Applying science and technology encourages innovation, increasing development productivity, independence and national competitiveness. Indonesia has a science and technology area named Science Techno Park (STP). Maturity measurement is an indicator of the level of an STP to apply science and technology for the welfare of society. There are three levels of maturity for STP, which are low (pratama), middle (madya), and high (utama). Before entering the best maturity level, STP must go through various kinds of preparation and fulfil the elements contained in it. The community service activity team at Universitas Andalas conducted a web seminar (webinar) to socialise the maturity assessment for STP Unand from the academic side. The webinar invited two experts on STP maturity measurement. One of the primary assessments is the number of products produced that are expected to come from the results of academic research. This activity can help STP Unand prepare to increase its maturity to a high level.

Segregación laboral por género en España y en el País Vasco. Un análisis de cohortes
Authors: Aldaz Odriozola Leire , Eguía Peña Begoña
Published: January 2024

Esta investigación realiza un estudio bidimensional de la segregación laboral para España y para el País Vasco, considerando el género y la edad como fuentes de desigualdad. Se trata de analizar las posibles diferencias por género en función de la cohorte de edad, así como de estudiar su evolución temporal. Utilizando microdatos de la Encuesta de Población Activa para los años 2002 y 2014, se representan las curvas de segregación local y se calculan el índice de segregación local denominado “variación del índice de disimilitud” (Dg) y el índice de segregación global propuesto por Silber (Ip). El estudio revela que las mujeres y los hombres presentan un comportamiento diferente en  el periodo considerado. La intensidad de la segregación se acentúa en función de la edad entre las mujeres, por lo que a mayor edad mayor especialización o confinamiento en determinadas ocupaciones-actividades. Sin embargo, los hombres de mayor edad pasan a estar más igualitariamente distribuidos en la escala ocupacional. El estudio muestra también que la disminución temporal observada en las diferencias por género para las distintas cohortes es debida a los cambios producidos en la estructura ocupacional. En consecuencia, se acentúan los niveles de concentración  de las distintas cohortes de trabajadores en determinadas ocupaciones, configurando nichos laborales propios en función del sexo y de la edad del trabajador.
Acerca del poder predictivo de Klein
Authors: Coutiño Alfredo
Published: January 2024

La persistente búsqueda por mejorar los modelos y sobre todo el poder predictivo siempre fue una constante y notable característica de la mente brillante de Lawrence Klein. Su pasión por los modelos, su pulcritud y, su redoblado esfuerzo por darle a la econometría aplicada el respeto científico no solo de la comunidad académica sino también de los usuarios siempre lo llevaron a encontrar alternativas para mejorar y para responder a sus críticos con nuevas contribuciones y avances metodológicos. En este artículo presento una de las últimas contribuciones del profesor Klein, cuyo propósito fue darle fortaleza a los modelos predictivos y también superar la crítica a la econometría tradicional, a través del desarrollo de su metodología sobre la predicción a alta frecuencia como medio para mejorar  el poder predictivo de los modelos estructurales.

Feeding Large Econometric Models by a Mixed Approach of Classical Decomposition of Series and Dynamic Factor Analysis: Application to Wharton-UAM Model
Authors: Moral Carcedo Julián , Pérez García Julián
Published: January 2024

The aim of this article is to submit an applied methodology to design long term scenarios that, many times, are needed to feed large econometric models in their most classical approach of L.R.Klein's legacy. In our proposal we mix the classical decomposition of time series with dynamic factor analysis, which, in fact, is closely linked to most recent Klein's works on High Frequency Models. The methodological approach is illustrated through an application for the set of exogenous variables that shape the international environment of the Wharton-UAM model for the Spanish economy.
Determinantes de la estructura financiera de las empresas españolas
Authors: Cabrer Borrás Bernardí , Rico Belda Paz
Published: January 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los factores determinantes de la composición de la estructura de capital de las empresas, utilizando datos de una muestra de empresas españolas de la base de datos SABI. A tal fin se ha utilizado un modelo en el que se considera que el nivel de endeudamiento se determina por las características económico- financieras de las empresas. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que las decisiones de las empresas, respecto a su estructura de capital, no se explican por una única teoría. Por su parte, el endeudamiento aumenta con el tamaño de las empresas y se reduce con el coste de la deuda. Asimismo, las empresas más endeudadas serán aquellas con mayor crecimiento, con menor proporción de activos fijos en el balance y con menor nivel de calificación crediticia. Finalmente, las empresas con reducida calificación crediticia presentan un comportamiento financiero diferente a las empresas con mayor calidad crediticia.

Moreover, translog financial and operative cost functions are estimated by Maximum-Likelihood to determine the influence of each field of cost efficiency on financial instability. The results show that biggest inefficiencies are associated with operative cost, so management policies should be specially oriented to reduction of physical capital. On the other hand, the financial covariates show that the most effective strategies in this field consist of looking for advantages in deposits market and increases in resources and in quality of assets through provisions.

Published: January 2024

El posible aumento del gasto en pensiones se percibe cada vez más como un obstáculo que limita el crecimiento económico. En la primera parte del artículo, tras describir las claves de la sostenibilidad del sistema de pensiones ante los retos impuestos por el envejecimiento de la población, analizamos si los fondos privados ofrecen realmente una solución más adecuada que los modelos de reparto al problema demográfico. Posteriormente, como principal objetivo de la presente investigación, nuestro análisis se centra en los efectos positivos que el gasto dedicado a las pensiones produce sobre los sistemas económicos. Los resultados del estudio muestran los valores de empleo y renta que se genera en la producción asociada al consumo de los pensionistas.

Authors: Cabo Francisco , García González Ana , Gómez García Jesús María , Peláez Fermoso Francisco José
Published: January 2024

Este trabajo analiza un proceso de integración de planes de pensiones de empleo de prestación definida con el sistema público de la Seguridad Social en España. En él, se describe el modelo teórico que recoge la estructura de estos sistemas de pensiones. Aplicando el método Offset en el proceso de integración de ambos sistemas de previsión, se comprueba que las tasas de sustitución de las pensiones, dependiendo de cuál sea el objetivo de sustitución del salario final fijado por el empresario promotor del plan, se ven modificadas, tanto más cuanto mayor sea el nivel salarial de los trabajadores que integran el plan de pensiones. Este análisis se realiza para el horizonte temporal 1985-2020, considerando diferentes tipos de planes de pensiones como son el Final-Pay y el Career-Pay en sus modalidades Flat Benefit y Unit Benefit.

Authors: Trianti Nikoletta
Published: January 2024

This paper presents the basic principles and procedures of a theoretical portfolio management system and also the practical implementation and the actual results of real utilization efforts of such systems. Portfolio management of public pension reserve funds is one of the major factors that can contribute in the provision of adequate pension level. The key components of portfolio management are the chosen strategy of investment (active or passive portfolio management) and the sequential steps of the investment decision making process. Numerous studies focusing on the investment management behavior, function and practice have been conducted by various researchers and also the OECD. All of them have stressed the need of an effective portfolio management strategy in order to maintain a satisfactory level of pensions for the pensions fund beneficiaries.

The success of RPDS* depends greatly on it's design, (which means acrylic, ch-co**, and fixed).But unfortunately many dentists delegate their responsibility of RPDS design to the dental technician for one reason or another, this study was done to confirm the effect of kennedy classification and clinical examination on the RPD design, and to identify the changes between design of group (A) dental technician and group (B) the dentists, and to be solved in future.The result show 36% of the cases were modified and changed according to the cases related variables this high and significant number of modification reinforces the position that RPD design should be decided and guided by the dentists. The study conducted the effects of kennedy classification and clinical examination on the RPD design by comparing between designs group of Dental technician without clinical examination and designs marked by the dentists after providing the clinical examination, the change of design was clearly proved that the clinical examination played a very important role in changi ng the RPD designs.
Effects of Gingivitis During Pregnancy on Incidence of Low Birth Weight Baby in Al-Dour City, October 2009 - March 2010
Authors: K. Asaad Nahla
Published: January 2024

It has been suggested that gingivitis during pregnancy could have a causal relationship with low weights for newborns. The objective of this study is to estimate the effect of gingivitis during pregnancy on the birth weight of newborns. Pregnant women were randomly selected and whom their gum had inflamed were contained in Group 1 (or G1); and this sample size was 50 subjects. This group was compared with a control group of 50 pregnant women whom presented with healthy gums and contained in Group 2 (or G2). Mothers were examined by a dentist who was not informed of the group classified. A probe was used to measure extent and severity of gingivitis. The extension index (EI) and severity index (SI) of gingivitis were determined.Both groups of mothers were near in terms of maternal age, parity, weight, height, skin color, obesity, socioeconomic status, parity, antenatal care, abortion, bacteriuria, nutritional status, diabetes mellitus, previous hypertension, and preeclampsia. The characteristics of the newborns were: birth weight: G1 = 1854±590 gram and G2 = 3175±610 gram; gestational age: G1 = 34±6 weeks and G2 = 38±3 weeks; duration of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit: G1 = 1.8±0.6 days and G 2 = 0.7±0.4 days. Average EI: G1 = 84.663±11.634 and G2 = 69.010±18.122 (p<0.05). Average SI: G1 = 1.217±0.623 and G2 = 0.705±0.404 (p<0.05). The study analysis indicated a mar ked relation between gingivitis and low birth weight. Our data suggested that gingivitis during pregnancy may be a risk factor for l ow weight at birth.
The Inhibitory Effect of CW CO2 Laser on Carieslike Lesion Initiation on Sound Enamel: an In Vitro Study
Authors: Sh. Rajab Muthenna
Published: January 2024

Although CO2 laser irradiation can decrease enamel demineralization, it has still not been clarified which laser wavelength and which irradiation conditions represent the optimum parameters for application as preventive treatment. One of the important applications of the laser is as a caries inhibition treatment of the sound dental tissues. This study aimed to assess the caries preventive potential of various CW CO2 laser parameters, and to explore the effect of laser power density, and the exposure time on the caries inhibition activity. Eighty one extracted human premolar teeth were irradiated with three output power: (1, 2, and 4) W, three spot diameter: (2, 2.83, and 4) mm, and three exposure times: (0.2, 0.4, and 0.8) sec of 10.6µm CW CO2 laser. Three teeth were used as a control group. All teeth were subjected to carieslike lesion formation by 3.5 pH lactic acid solution for 21 days. The teeth after that were sectioned into ground cross sections and the lesion depths were measured under polarizing microscope. The lesion depths of experimental samples were compared with those of the control samples. A single exposure to CW CO2 las er irradiation was found to be resulted in reduction of the carieslik e lesion depths. These reductions were up to 61%. The inhibition activity was related directly to the power density and inversely to the exposure time of CW CO2 laser radiation. The optimal parameters were 33W/cm2 power density and 0.2 exposure time. These finding should be reinforced with more laboratory, animal, and human studies with and without fluoride before clinical applications.
Evaluating the Sealing Ability of MTA as a Root Canal Sealing Material
Authors: M. Yahya Maha
Published: January 2024

This study was to evaluate the potential of using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as a root canal sealing material via comparing its apical sealing ability with that of the most commonly used root canal sealer (Dorifill) zinc oxide based sealer , twenty-eight extracted human single rooted teeth were selected for use in this study . All teeth were prepared in standard manner using hand instruments, randomly divided into two groups of twelve teeth each and a control group of four teeth. Root canals in the two experimental groups were filled laterally condensed gutta percha and either MTA or zinc oxide based (Dorifill) sealer. After sealers had set, the root surfaces were coated with nail varnish except 1 mm at the apex of the root . Positive controls had no root filling and were coated with nail varnish in the same manner, while the negative controls were sealed only entirely with nail varnish. The teeth were immersed into 1% methylene blue dye for 72 hours. The teeth were cleared and the linear extent of dye penetration was measured with a stereomicroscope. Group (MTA) showed significantly less apical dye penetration than group 2 . Positive controls had total leak age and negative controls had no leakage. The study demonstrate that MTA provide an apical seal that is superior to that of zinc o xide based root canal sealer (Dorifill).
