Authors: De Azevedo Leonardo Waisman , Scheel-Ybert Rita 
Published: December 2024

Resumo: O estudo de fogueiras de quatro sítios Proto-Jê do Sul da região de Pinhal da Serra (RS) permitiu compreender questões relacionadas à economia de combustíveis e à tecnologia de fogueiras dessa sociedade. As fogueiras foram analisadas a partir de uma perspectiva qualitativa, considerando suas características estruturais e contextuais; os combustíveis foram analisados a partir de uma metodologia antracológica. Foi possível reconhecer aspectos recorrentes relativos às práticas de aquisição e uso do fogo, uso e seleção de combustíveis, captação de recursos, vegetação e paisagem. Os resultados da pesquisa levam a crer que as fogueiras constituíam um polo de atividades central em espaços domésticos e cerimoniais. Suas características estruturais representam escolhas tecnológicas e um conhecimento amplo do processo de combustão. Apresentam-se evidências do uso específico de palmeira, bambu e Inga sp. que sugerem alguma forma de seleção de combustíveis. A coleta de lenha provavelmente era realizada através do recolhimento de madeira morta caída na mata e da derrubada de árvores, em uma região de Mata de Araucárias com vegetação alterada. Estes resultados trazem uma contribuição significativa para a compreensão da ocupação Proto-Jê do Sul da região e para o entendimento das relações desses grupos com seu meio vegetal no Planalto das Araucárias. Abstract: Analysis of hearths at four Southern Proto-Je settlements in Pinhal da Serra (RS) region has allowed understanding issues related to fire technology and fuel economy in this society. The hearths were examined from a qualitative perspective, considering its structural and contextual characteristics; fuels were examined within an anthracological approach. The methodology allowed figuring out some traditional practices related to the acquisition and use of fire, use and selection of fuels, resources gathering, vegetation, and landscape. The results suggest that fire assumed a central role in domestic and ceremonial spaces. The structural characteristics of each hearth represent technological choices and a large knowledge of burning process. Possible evidence of specific uses of palm, bamboo, and Inga sp. might suggest some kind of fuel selection. Firewood was probably acquired through the gathering of fallen dead wood in the forest and logging, in an Araucaria forest with secondary vegetation. These results are an important contribution to a better understanding of the Southern Proto-Je occupation and to the comprehension of the relationships of these groups with their plant environment in the Araucaria Plateau.

Published: December 2024

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a long-term condition characterised by increased resistance to blood flow in the pulmonary circulation. The disease has a progressive course and is associated with a poor prognosis. Without treatment, PAH is associated with mortality in <3 years. Over the past decade, many advances have been made in revising the haemodynamic definition, clinical classification, risk calculation score, treatment options etc. Suggestions from the Sixth World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension were incorporated into a literature review that was included in the European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society (ESC/ERS)’s most recent iteration of their guidelines in 2022. The traditional cut-off for pulmonary hypertension (PH), i.e., mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) >25 mm Hg, has been challenged by observational cohort studies, which have shown poor outcomes for values of 21–24 mmHg; the new consensus is that PH is defined at mPAP >20 mm Hg. Although the gold standard for diagnosis and the major source of therapy guidance continues to be right cardiac catheterisation, echocardiography remains the initial test of choice. A multidisciplinary approach is highly recommended when treating PH patients and careful evaluation of patients will aid in proper diagnosis and prognosis. Pharmacotherapy for PAH has seen a paradigm shift with the successful use of newer agents in more extensive, longer and more inclusive trials driven by hard endpoints. Macitentan, selexipag and riociguat are three oral agents that have shown astounding success in PAH randomised studies in the past decade. Upfront combination therapy with two agents is now becoming the norm (following the AMBITION, OPTIMA and ITALY trials) and the momentum is shifting towards triple therapy as for essential hypertension. More recently, inhaled treprostinil was shown to improve exercise capacity in PH associated with interstitial lung disease in the phase III INCREASE study and has been granted regulatory approval for World Health Organization group 3 PH. A new class of drug, sotatercept (a tumour growth factor-β signalling inhibitor), has also been recently approved by the Food and Drugs Administration for management of PAH based on positive results from the phase III STELLAR study. Pulmonary artery denervation and balloon pulmonary angioplasty have emerged as viable alternatives in PH that are resistant to drug therapy. This article aims to summarise the key changes and recent advances in diagnosis and managing PH in general, with an emphasis on certain subgroups.

За лісовпорядними матеріалами Рахівського лісгоспу 1951-52 рр. та ДП «Рахівське лісове дослідне господарство» станом на 01.01.2021 р. з’ясовано особливості польових і камеральних лісовпорядкувальних робіт, які визначені нормативними матеріалами відповідного періоду та проаналізовано зміни у розподілі вкритих лісовою рослинністю ділянок за деревними видами, класами бонітету та відносними повнотами, особливості вікових змін насаджень переважаючих деревних видів.
Нормативні матеріали аналізованих періодів різняться підходами щодо виділення категорій лісів відповідно до виконання ними функцій, формування господарських частин і господарських секцій. Відмінними також є методичні засади обґрунтування обсягів заготівлі деревини під час проектування рубок головного користування та застосування способів рубок.
За аналізований проміжок часу у лісовому фонді підприємства збільшилась площа інтродукованих деревних видів та видове різноманіття як твердолистяних, так і м’яколистяних видів, що може бути зумовлено як господарськими заходами, так і змінами клімату.
Відзначено значне зменшення площі насаджень ялиці білої – з майже 400 до 61 га та збільшення більше, ніж на 1,4 тис га, площі букових насаджень, що, ймовірно, зумовлено характером лісогосподарських заходів, біоекологічними особливостями деревних видів та зміною клімату, а також передачею окремих ділянок новоутвореному природоохоронному об’єкту.
Відзначено збільшення площ продуктивних ялинових насаджень та підвищення середнього класу бонітету насаджень основних деревних видів. Середній клас бонітету ялинових насаджень підвищився з 1а,6 до 1b,8, ялицевих – з 1а,7 до 1а,,2, модринових – з 1а,0 до 1b,3, букових – з 1,9 до 1,2. Також збільшились середні запаси деревостанів. Зокрема, середні запаси ялинових насаджень збільшились на 15%, а букових – більше ніж у два рази. Поряд з цим, інтенсивне ведення лісового господарства в останні роки позначилось на зниженні середньої відносної повноти насаджень хвойних деревних видів.
Ведення лісового господарства в гірських лісах регіону, орієнтоване на виконання ними захисних і рекреаційно-оздоровчих функцій, позначилось на обсягах заготівлі деревини, які зменшено, порівняно з лісовпорядкуванням 50-их років минулого століття, більше ніж у чотири рази.
Dealing with Force Limiting Error Due to Adaptive Fixturing Mass
Authors: Van Dyke Michael B. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
For implementing force limiting during a shaker vibration test it is often necessary to add adaptive fixturing above the force transducers as an interface to the test article mount points. Since the measured force contribution due to this added mass influences the force-limited input notching, the standard recommended practice is to limit adaptive fixturing mass to 10% of the total mass above the force transducers to minimize the notching error. However, it is sometimes difficult to design interface fixturing that can meet that mass-limiting criterion while maintaining the requisite rigidity to avoid dynamic influence of the fixturing. This paper develops a quantification of the notching error due to adaptive fixturing mass, along with nominal force sensitivity and mass measurement error, and recommends approaches for reducing or otherwise evaluating the effect of this error to aid in fixturing design that may exceed the 10% mass criterion.

Oral health is a vital component of overall well-being, particularly during early childhood development. The early years, specifically between the ages of 3 to 6, mark a crucial period for establishing oral hygiene habits and preventing dental issues that can persist into adulthood. In this context, caregivers play a pivotal role as primary influencers in shaping children's oral health behaviors and practices. The aim of this study is the effect of critical role of caregiver education in promoting oral health status among 3 to 6-year-old children. A total of 400 caregivers with 3-6 years old children were randomly assigned into two groups: Group 1 (verbal + pamphlets) and Group 2 (verbal+ pamphlets + visual). Clinical examination was carried out to record oral health status (OHIS-M) in children. REALD-30 and CRA-RT were given to caregivers to assess oral health literacy and knowledge about their children before and after intervention respectively. Data were analysed using SPSS version 21. Descriptive analysis and paired t - test were used to test intervention impact.Among 376 caregivers/children, mean age of children were 5.28 years. After the intervention, Group 2 shows more significant difference between REALD-30 and OHIS-M when compared to Group 1 (p &#60; 0.05). Verbal, Pamphlets and Visual aids (Group 2) were more effective in improving oral health status in children as compared to other group.

Published: December 2024

Mucormycosis is a potentially fatal opportunistic fungal illness that is brought on by molds from the Zygomycetes class, specifically the Mucorales order.It predominantly affects individuals with diabetes and compromised immune systems. In India, the number of COVID-19 cases has significantly increased recently. The unexpected surge in mucormycosis cases has prompted several Indian states and union territories to designate the disease an epidemic, placing further strain on the already overworked healthcare system.To evaluate Uttarakhand dentists’ attitude, knowledge, and awareness of mucormycosis.A study assessing dentists in Uttarakhand's knowledge, understanding, and attitudes regarding mucormycosis was carried out between May and June of 2024. The fourteen online survey was distributed to recent graduates, postgraduate (MDS) students, MDS faculty members employed as academic staff in dental colleges, and local private practitioners.In this research, 218 dentists took part and the average scores for knowledge and awareness among participants were 58.03% and 85.9%, respectively.Enhancing dentists’ knowledge and perspectives on mucormycosis, a recently identified public health concern, is essential. Standard care for mucormycosis must include early detection, risk factor minimization, and underlying condition management. Patients with predisposed circumstances require a high degree of suspicion, which healthcare providers must maintain to diagnose the disease quickly. This emphasizes how crucial an interdisciplinary team approach is to the diagnosis and care of those afflicted with this condition.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to evaluate patient satisfaction following the insertion of complete denture prostheses. The objectives include assessing patient satisfaction across several dimensions: retention, appearance, pronunciation, chewing, denture finishing, and overall satisfaction. A survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted. Patient satisfaction levels were measured on a scale ranging from "very happy" to "not at all happy". The study sample comprised 118 participants, determined using appropriate formulas for cross-sectional studies. Results indicate notable satisfaction levels among participants. Specifically, 63% were satisfied with the fit of their upper denture, and 40% with their lower denture fitting. Aesthetic satisfaction was reported by 46% for denture color and 50% for teeth color. Satisfaction with facial appearance post-denture insertion was noted in 52% of respondents. Additionally, 36% expressed satisfaction with speech, 29% with mastication, 44% with denture smoothness, and 61% with overall denture satisfaction. This study highlights the crucial role of complete denture prostheses in enhancing patient satisfaction across various aspects. While satisfaction levels with denture fit, aesthetics, and overall experience are notably high, opportunities for improvement exist in speech clarity and mastication effectiveness.
Comparison of dimensional accuracy of digital impression technique versus conventional impression technique on parallel endosseous dental implants: An in vitro study
Authors: Kumar Varun , Talele Shubham , Seth Jyotsna 
Published: December 2024

To create an implant prosthesis that fits well, a precise implant impression is necessary. This in vitro study assessed the dimensional accuracy of open tray impressions vs digital impressions taken with an intraoral scanner for tracking the locations of parallel-placed endosseous implants.Two parallel endosseous implants were positioned in a mandibular customized model made up of epoxy resin at the first premolar sites. The inter-implant distance was measured using a Co-ordinate Measuring Machine (SIPCON SVI CNC 3D). Conventional open tray impressions were made using addition silicone, while digital impressions were captured with an intraoral scanner (CEREC OMNICAM). A total of 10 impressions were collected for both techniques. The inter-implant distance for both groups was measured using the analyzing tool in CEREC Dentsply Sirona software and compared with the CMM readings.The mean values of the two groups were compared using a Student's t-test, and statistical significance was established using a p-value threshold of less than 0.05. A p-value of 0.547 for the Open Tray group i.e more than 0.05—showed no statistical significance. When compared to other groups, the digital scan group showed statistically significant outcomes with a p-value of 0.031, which is less than 0.05.Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the results showed that digital impressions demonstrated significantly greater dimensional accuracy compared to conventional (open tray) impressions for parallel-placed endosseous implants.

Этическая роль студентов в профилактике коррупции в высшем образовании
Authors: Суванди М.А. , Брылина И.В. 
Published: December 2024

Университеты являются местом формирования, обучения и подготовки нового поколения наций, будущих лидеров стран. Социокультурные изменения, связанные с глобализацией, рыночной конкуренцией, коммерциализацией знаний и маркетизацией университета, проникли в академическую среду, негативно повлияв на возникновение девиантных практик в сфере образования. Поэтому в последние годы пристальное внимание различных групп исследователей из разных стран обращено на изучение трансформаций университетской культуры в целом, в частности – на анализ причин вовлеченности университетов в коррупционные практики и выявление потенциала их преодоления. Используются теоретическая методология исследования, сбор библиотечной информации, анализ, обобщение и рефлексия. Утверждается, что студенты, наряду с другими агентами университета (преподавательским составом и администрацией университета), могут взять на себя значительную роль в предупреждении и искоренении коррупции в университетской среде, благодаря чему может быть создана чистая университетская среда, свободная от коррупционных проявлений. Сделан вывод о важности этической роли студентов в профилактике коррупции в вузах, поскольку студенты являются значимым агентом изменений и контроля, который в силу своих особенностей может выступать в качестве ролевых моделей этических антикоррупционных действий, осуществлять мониторинг и сообщать о коррупционных действиях, участвовать в студенческих организациях, в государственной политике и использовать новые информационно‐коммуникационные технологии для антикоррупционных кампаний. Таким образом, студенты могут играть общественно значимую роль в создании университетской среды, свободной от коррупции.
LINGUISTIC, STYLISTIC, FUNCTIONAL AND PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF ENGLISH POPULAR TEXTS AND THEIR TRANSLATION INTO UKRAINIAN (BASED ON TED TALKS)
Authors: Sotnykov Andrii , Zagorodniy Matvii 
Published: December 2024

Given the widespread use of the TED platform for the dissemination of scientific knowledge, certain requirements are imposed on lecture texts, which determine the choice of linguistic means, the use of non-verbal communication tools, and the impact on the target audience. This article discusses the results of a master's thesis on the linguistic, stylistic, functional and pragmatic features of English-language popular science texts and their translation into Ukrainian. The objectives of the study were to analyse the linguistic and stylistic features of English-language TED talks, identify the functional and pragmatic characteristics of such speeches, describe translation strategies for translating popular science texts, study the specifics of adapting cultural and social allusions in translation, etc. To achieve this goal, the following main research methods were used: induction, analysis, deduction and the method of quantitative counts to assess the frequency of use of certain linguistic techniques in texts, lexical and semantic analysis to identify specific linguistic means that provide pragmatic impact. The popular science discourse, which includes TED talks, is a kind of hybrid between academic and journalistic styles. The stylistic features of lectures, pragmatic means used by speakers, main tasks, etc. are highlighted. It is established that speakers simplify scientific terms, widely use metaphors, and ‘storytelling’ to facilitate the understanding of the speech by the audience. The main challenges faced by translators in translating such speeches are also identified, namely the need to translate metaphors while preserving their meaning and the transmission of cultural allusions used by speakers. The article outlines prospects for further research and provides practical recommendations for translating TED talks. These include choosing the best equivalent for conveying metaphors, preserving the speaker's informal style, paying attention to cultural allusions, and applying adaptive translation strategies.
Problem of low-frequency motion cueing along roll on flight simulators
Authors: Kabanyachyi Volodymyr , Ibrahimoglu Beycan 
Published: December 2024

An innovative approach to improve the fidelity of low-frequency lateral motion cueing within full-flight simulators for non-maneuvering aircraft is presented. On the basis of the perception peculiarities by the human vestibular system of movement along the roll, the problem of low-frequency motion cueing of lateral movement by motion systems of flight simulators was formulated and solved. The critical challenge of simulating the set of angular motion cues that pilots perceive during flights is decided. This research highlights two key outcomes. The fourth-order low-pass filter effectively extracts low-frequency motion cues from aircraft motion kinematic parameters, enhancing simulation accuracy. Secondly, proposed method significantly expands the range of simulated motion cues while ensuring their synchronization with high-frequency motion cues along relevant degrees of freedom. This formulation of the problem increases the range of simulated motion cues to ±0,3nz, which practically corresponds to the range of simulated motion cues of a transport aircraft, and thus increases the quality of motion cueing. The implementation of the developed method on the An-72TK-200 full flight simulator confirmed its effectiveness. In conclusion, this study introduces a promising methodology that enhances the quality of motion cueing, thus rendering flight simulations more realistic and beneficial for both pilots and aerospace engineering researchers in the real of non-maneuvering aircraft flight simulators
