Management of the Two Dental Developmental Anomalies in Two Maxillary Incisors for Improved Esthetic Appearance: A Case Report
Authors: AlDhelai Thiyezen A. 
Published: December 2021

Introduction:
The presence of a developmental dental anomaly in maxillary incisors usually affects esthetic appearance. Therefore, gemination and supernumerary teeth are considered anomalies and need a careful and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment.

Case Description:
This clinical report presents a 10-year-old girl complaining of the esthetic appearance of her anterior maxillary teeth. Clinical and radiographical examinations revealed a maxillary geminated permanent left central incisor and a supplemental supernumerary permanent right lateral incisor. The treatment has been performed in different stages, including preventive, conservative, surgical, and orthodontic treatments. Thus, the large geminated incisor has been restored to its normal shape, and the problem of anterior incisor crowding resolved through alignment.

Conclusion:
Dental anomalies in the anterior segment are common and need time during treatment. Selective grinding for the large geminated incisor and the extraction of the supplemental tooth followed by orthodontic treatment may be the right decisions that a dental practitioner may consider during the management of such cases.
Enhancement of Straw Bale Performance Using Gum Arabic
Authors: Njike Manette , Oyawa Walter O. , Abuodha Silvester O. 
Published: December 2021

Background:
The negative impacts of the construction industry are compelling arguments for embracing technology that contributes to carbon footprint reduction and resources conservation. Toward the achievement of objective 9 of the Sustainable Development Goals, the development of new building’s materials like straw bale has advanced in the construction industry. As demonstrated in the literature, straw bale is an eco-friendly material that presents many advantages, like its contribution towards a circular economy. However, it has low compressive strength and displays high displacement under compression load. So far, no attempt has been made in order to enhance the strength of straw bales.

Objective:
This study aimed to develop alternative material to straw bale using chopped straw stems mixed with a binder (gum Arabic) and determine its stress-strain characteristic.

Methods:
The manufacturing process of the new material involved the use of chopped straw and gum Arabic to form straw blocks.

Results:
Results obtained show that the compressive strength of straw block (1.25MPa) is greater than the strength of straw bale (0.02MPa). Also, the average displacement recorded during compression load on straw blocks (29mm) was 2.8 times smaller than the displacement in straw bale (80mm). In terms of shape and size, straw blocks match with conventional materials like cement or compressed block. This will facilitate their use in construction compared to straw bales that require skilled laborers for pre-compression and plastering.

Conclusion:
The use of gum arabic helps in holding straw stems together and forms a compact material with improved strength compared to straw bale. Performance improvement of the characteristics of load-bearing straw bale walls can be addressed by using straw blocks.
Exploring Deeper Causes Linking Adolescents’ Mental Disorders to Mobile Phone Use Problems: Grounded Theory Approach
Authors: Sun Zeyuan , Zhou Yue , Zhang Yinan , Gui Bing , Liu Zhenmi 
Published: December 2021

Background
Evidence from a variety of studies link mobile phone use with an increase in mental health problems, with the situation being particularly prevalent in China and exacerbated by the COVID-19 quarantine.

Objective
This study aims to reveal underlying connections between mobile phone use and mental disorders of adolescents, and to develop a theory to help parents and counseling psychologists better understand and intervene in future cases.

Methods
A total of 37 teenagers having both mental health and mobile phone use problems, along with their parents, were included for individual interviews. These interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using qualitative methods of grounded theory.

Results
The grades-ranking-first mentality is one of the main factors causing problems such as defective family bonding and peer influences, pushing teenagers with mental disorders to seek comfort in the virtual world through their cellphones.

Conclusions
The idea proposed in this study is not only inspiring for psychological counseling and therapy on adolescents with mental problems but also beneficial for school educators and parents to better understand the adolescents. The findings of the study are also particularly noteworthy in the postpandemic age, where parents whose work locations and schedules are substantially affected due to any emergencies should try to build a relaxing and cozy atmosphere at home to avoid possible conflicts with adolescents.

Published: December 2021

BackgroundType 2 diabetes is twice as likely to affect Hispanic people than their White counterparts. Technology and social support may be an important part of behavior change. In this study, we address gaps in diabetes care for Hispanic Spanish-speaking people with diabetes through an online peer support community (OPSC) pilot intervention using Hispanic Spanish-speaking peer facilitators with diabetes to enhance the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for diabetes management.ObjectiveThis study aims to address gaps in diabetes care for Hispanic Spanish-speaking people with diabetes through an OPSC pilot intervention using Hispanic Spanish-speaking peer facilitators with diabetes to enhance the use of CGM for diabetes management.MethodsA mixed-methods, pre-post test design will be used in this feasibility study. A total of 50 Hispanic participants with type 2 diabetes willing to wear a continuous glucose monitor for 13 weeks will be recruited. Hispanic Spanish-speaking peer facilitators with diabetes and experience wearing a continuous glucose monitor will be employed and undergo training. Peer facilitators will help participants learn how CGM data can inform behavior changes via an OPSC. Participants will interact with the private OPSC at least three times a week. Weekly questions and prompts derived from the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists, previously American Association of Diabetes Educators, and seven self-care behaviors will be delivered by peer facilitators to engage participants. Measures of feasibility and acceptability will be determined by the percentage of participants who enroll, complete the study, and use CGM (number of scans) and objective metrics from the OPSC. Efficacy potential outcomes include change in time in range of 70 to 180 mg/dL from baseline to 12 weeks, A1c, diabetes online community engagement, self-efficacy, and quality of life. Additionally, semistructured exit interviews will be conducted.ResultsFunding for this project was secured in November 2018 and approved by the institutional review board in April 2019. Peer facilitator recruitment and training were undertaken in the second half of 2019, with participant recruitment and data collection conducted in January and April 2020. The study has now concluded.ConclusionsThis study will generate new evidence about the use of an OPSC for Hispanic Spanish-speaking patients with diabetes to make behavior changes incorporating feedback from CGM.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT03799796; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03799796International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID)RR1-10.2196/31595

Cambio de perspectiva. El adentro y el afuera
Authors: Paláu Castaño Luis Alfonso

Traducción del francés al español de Luis Alfonso Paláu-Castaño
«Continuemos nuestros análisis. Con frecuencia —e incluso desde el comienzo— le hemos reprochado a la filosofía no haberse preocupado lo suficiente por la exterioridad (desacreditada para siempre) y por los objetos, a veces incluso ignorarlos para encerrarse mejor en la sola subjetividad (por esto la egología, el hortus conclusus). Carente de lo que la habría animado e incluso armado —el tener en cuenta nuestro entorno y a quien lo ocupa— la filosofía se repliega sobre sí misma, cree autonomizarse mientras se echa a perder. Nos atrevemos a preguntar, con el fin de poner en aprietos al filósofo hipotético que imaginamosy que sin duda caricaturizamos, sobre qué o a partir de qué eleva su reflexión.»
Spatiotemporally Programmable Metasurfaces via Viscoelastic Shell Snapping
Authors: Chen Yuzhen , Liu Tianzhen , Jin Lihua 
Published: December 2021

Many species can dynamically alter their skin textures to enhance their
motility and survivability. Despite the enormous efforts on designing
bio-inspired materials with tunable surface textures, developing
spatiotemporally programmable and reconfigurable textural morphing
without complex control remains challenging. Here we propose a design
strategy to achieve metasurfaces with such properties. The metasurfaces
comprise an array of unit cells with broadly tailored temporal
responses. By arranging the unit cells differently, the metasurfaces can
exhibit various spatiotemporal responses, which can be easily
reconfigured by disassembling and rearranging the unit cells.
Specifically, we adopt viscoelastic shells as the unit cells, which can
be pneumatically actuated to a concave state, and recover the initial
convex state some time after the load is removed. We computationally and
experimentally show that the recovery time can be widely tuned by the
geometry and material viscoelasticity of the shells. By assembling such
shells with different recovery time, we build metasurfaces with
pre-programmed spatiotemporal textural morphing under simple pneumatic
actuation, and demonstrate temporal evolution of patterns, such as digit
numbers and emoji, and spatiotemporal control of friction. This work
opens up new avenues in designing spatiotemporal morphing metasurfaces
that could be employed for programming mechanical, optical and
electrical properties.

The Trzciniec Cultural Circle barrow from Nieciecz Włościańska in the Southern Podlasie
Authors: Romaniszyn Jan , Makarowicz Przemysław , Górski Jacek , Affelski Jakub , Smoliński Antoni 
Published: December 2021

Abstract:
The societies of the Trzciniec Cultural Circle (TCC) were characterized by a complex and unique funeral rite. Despite its multidimensionality, it is possible to identify a number of patterns repeated in the ritual activity of these populations. This especially concerns barrow cemeteries erected during the classical phase of TCC development. To date, these types of structures are known from the southern (upland) provinces of this cultural formation. However, the barrow from Nieciecz Włościańska in Southern Podlasie that is comprehensively described here is the first richly equipped monument discovered in the northeastern (lowland) province of the TCC. The aim of this article is the complex characterization of the barrow and the interpretation of remains associated with the funeral rite. The authors apply standard archaeological methods supported by typochronological and radiocarbon analyzes to establish the chronology of this feature. The presented data is essential and crucial for understanding the northerneastern area of the TCC, which remains insufficiently recognized to date.
Outro projeto, outra escola
Authors: Paula Rosiana da Silva Novaes de , Keller-Franco Elize 
Published: December 2021

O presente estudo objetivou analisar uma proposta educacional alternativa tendo como questão investigar em que medida a experiência em andamento traz elementos para uma inovação curricular na Educação Básica. A pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa adotou como metodologia o Estudo de Caso. Os instrumentos de pesquisa se constituíram de observação, análise documental e entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados indicam que a proposta apresenta alterações em um conjunto de aspectos considerados prioritários para uma inovação curricular. O currículo em andamento identifica-se com as teorias curriculares críticas e com a abordagem curricular integrada, repercutindo na superação de dois núcleos que têm se mantido intactos no currículo hegemônico: a disciplinaridade e a seriação. A pesquisa apontou ainda que a inovação curricular é marcada pela complexidade, mas não vencida pela possibilidade de conceber e fazer outra escola, outra educação e um novo currículo.

Published: December 2021

O presente artigo traz um estudo do Estado da Arte a respeito do alcance e utilização das teorias de Jean Piaget sobre Tomada de Consciência e Autonomia em produções acadêmicas brasileiras relacionadas à área de educação. Para tanto, realizamos um mapeamento em bancos de periódicos da Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), e do Banco de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) do Ministério da Educação, assim como na Schème: Revista Eletrônica de Psicologia e Epistemologia Genéticas, com foco em artigos publicados em revistas científicas nos últimos 10 anos (2009-2019). As produções que se utilizam dos conceitos piagetianos se concentram nas instituições de ensino superior das regiões sul e sudeste do país. A escassez de estudos que apresentam este aporte teórico levanta uma série de questionamentos sobre o acesso e estudo das obras do período mais tardio de Piaget e lança aos estudiosos da Epistemologia Genética o desafio de aumentar sua divulgação.
