Abstract

Introduction: While many dental schools in India still follow traditional assessment systems, some are transitioning to credit-based assessment, allowing the integration of research and evidence-based practices into the curriculum. This research paper outlines a systematic approach taken by a dental school in India to introduce a research-teaching course for undergraduate dental students, named the "Research & Innovation Catalyst (RIC)." The course aims to establish a comprehensive research teaching nexus in the dental curriculum from the early years. Methodology: The curriculum was redesigned to incorporate outcome-based education and a choice-based credit system. Inputs from all the stakeholders were taken to create the dental undergraduate curriculum, ensuring alignment with the Dental Council of India (DCI) guidelines. The RIC course was introduced as an addition to the mandatory requirements of the DCI and was structured to teach research methodologies, survey techniques, ideation, innovation, intellectual property rights, and biostatistics over the first three years of graduation. A course development team conducted qualitative needs assessments involving experts, students, alumni, and faculty members. The syllabus was formulated on the basis of identified themes from needs assessment, and literature, and was subjected to Delphi rounds by a course development team. Both formative and summative evaluations were implemented, including assignments, tests, paper presentations, and viva voce examinations. Students practically learnt research principles through the mentor-guided research project. Results: An evaluation after three years of complete implementation of the designed course revealed that students' confidence and competencies in research domains increased as they progressed through the program. The students reported improved skills in scientific literature comprehension, problem-solving, critical thinking, and motivation to construct a research profile. Faculty members expressed confidence in their students' abilities but suggested additional exposure to evidence-based research and diverse types of articles. Conclusion: The successful implementation of the RIC course has the potential to increase research competence among dental undergraduates. This initiative contributes to producing dental graduates capable of applying research-based strategies in clinical practice and pursuing research careers, ultimately fostering research-oriented dental professionals.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

In this study, the effects of utilizing a vibro-impact electromechanical device to suppress undesired vibrations are investigated. The demonstrated vibro-impact system serves as a vibration suppressor and provides the necessary energy for its sensors and control components, making it a potentially autonomous system. The electromechanical equation of motion for the system under examination is calculated and experimentally verified. Also, the effect of adjusting the gap size, a crucial parameter of the Vibro-impact system, on its electromechanical performance of the system is investigated. Additionally, the effectiveness parameter is announced as a parameter that results in enhancing the energy harvesting and vibration-suppressing capabilities of the demonstrated vibro-impact system. Finally, it is demonstrated that the characteristics of the electromagnetic vibro-impact system can be tuned as an effective autonomous semi-active impact damper system.

Abstract

Background: Falls represent a significant public health concern, particularly among the elderly. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a multifaceted condition associated with frailty, sarcopenia, and polypharmacy, all of which increase the risk of falls. This study aimed to evaluate the association between CKD severity and the risk of falls among elderly individuals in Birjand, Iran.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 1,344 elderly participants from the Birjand Longitudinal Aging Study. CKD severity was classified based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and falls were self-reported at specified intervals. Logistic and Cox regression models were used to examine the association between CKD severity and fall risk.
Results: Fallers (n=82) were older, predominantly female, and had a higher prevalence of comorbidities compared to non-fallers (n=1,262). Mild CKD was significantly associated with increased odds (OR:1.98, 95% CI: 1.23–3.18, p=0.005) and hazard (HR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.38–3.58, p=0.001) of falls in crude models. However, after adjusting for confounders, these associations became weaker and even non-significant (OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 0.83 – 2.31, p=0.209 and HR: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.01 – 2.77, p=0.047). Severe CKD was not consistently associated with fall risk in any models.
Conclusion: Mild CKD is associated with an increased risk of falls in older adults; however, this relationship is influenced by confounders such as sex, comorbidities, and anthropometric factors. The findings underscore the importance of addressing fall risk through multifaceted interventions targeting comorbidity management in elderly CKD patients.

The southern American genus Praxelis Cass. has 18 species. In Singapore and Indonesia, notably Java, P. clematidea R.M.King & H.Rob. has naturalised. The first record in Indonesia was in Bogor in 2018, although it is unverified elsewhere. Praxelis clematidea was found in Bangka, Belitung, Jambi, Lampung, and Palangka Raya during our exploratory field research in 2020–2023. The naturalised populations proliferate in roadsides, ditches, open spaces, and disturbed areas. It thrives in a small swampy peat environment in Palangka Raya. Praxelis clematidea has been found outside Java, suggesting it could become an invasive alien species in Kalimantan and Sumatra.

Published: January 2025

This study investigated the potential use of Scots pine cones as an alternative raw material to larch wood chips for particle board production. Due to the increasing scarcity of forest resources, exploring alternative raw material for the forest industry has gained importance in in recent years. Particle boards were produced in laboratory conditions by blending industrial wood chips with Scots pine cones in varying proportions (25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 %) and usingr urea formaldehyde glue. The adhesice mixture contained 55 % urea formaldehyde glue and 33 % ammonium chloride as a hardener. Te production parameters included a press temperature of 150 °C, a press time was 7 minutes, and a press pressure of 2,4 MPa to 2,6 MPa. The resulting boards had a thickness of 16 mm and a density ranging from 730 kg/m3 to 740 kg/m3. Tests for thickness iswelling, water absorption, , bending strength, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength perpendicular to the surface were conducted. Results showed that the physical and mechanical properties of the boards containing up to 25 % Scots pine cone met the required standards.

A forma de apresentar a pesquisa pode impactar em sua divulgação/publicação. Diante deste fator, o objetivo desta investigação foi analisar as vantagens e desvantagens do uso do formato multipaper na escrita de teses e dissertações de pós-graduandos integrantes de um grupo de pesquisa em Educação Matemática. De abordagem qualitativa, os dados foram produzidos por intermédio de um questionário on-line, respondido por 10 egressos que empregaram o formato multipaper em suas teses e dissertações. O questionário incluiu sete questões, sendo três objetivas e quatro subjetivas. A análise realizada foi do tipo Análise Interpretativa com descrição, interpretação e explicação dos resultados, efetivada da seguinte maneira: leitura contínua das respostas e releituras de cada questão com análise minuciosa (descrição, interpretação) a fim de compreender o fenômeno em tela (explicação). Os resultados mostraram que os pós-graduandos do grupo de pesquisa explicitam 15 vantagens no uso do formato multipaper e seis desvantagens, que devem ser consideradas a partir de perspectiva problematizadora, com olhar especial para a garantia de que a escrita codependente dos papers responda ao objetivo geral da pesquisa, evitando o excesso de repetição e atenção ao fato de que a escrita precisa estar de acordo com as especificações mais amplas das revistas acadêmicas (rigorosidade e aprofundamento teórico/metodológico das produções). Ademais, confirmam uma relação importante entre o uso do formato e a publicação das pesquisas realizadas. Como inferências/achados destacam-se o papel do orientador na divulgação/propagação de usos de formatos inovadores e que, apesar de recente, o formato multipaper tem ganhado reconhecimento e relevância no âmbito acadêmico, sobretudo por ser um formato inovador/insubordinado, facilitar a publicação das produções e possibilitar construções metodológicas diferenciadas dentro de uma mesma temática.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
The investigators sought to reanalyze previously published vertebral heart size (VHS) reference intervals in Yorkshire Terriers (YTs), Pomeranians (POMs), Pugs, and Boston Terriers (BTs).

METHODS
The electronic medical records of IDEXX Telemedicine Consultants were searched for YTs, POMs, Pugs, and BTs undergoing radiography between January 1, 2023, and March 31, 2023. Dogs were included if they had 2- or 3-view thoracic radiographs performed and no evidence of cardiopulmonary or systemic disease. This was an observational study with the same board-certified cardiologist performing the VHS and vertebral left atrial size (VLAS) measurements in all breeds.

RESULTS
During the study period, a total of 1,776 YTs, 1,431 POMs, 945 Pugs, and 711 BTs were identified. Of these, 1,293 YTs, 1,051 POMs, 554 Pugs, and 515 BTs were excluded leaving 483 YTs, 380 POMs, 391 Pugs, and 196 BTs available for analysis. The reference interval for YTs was 9.0 to 11.4 vertebrae for VHS and 1.7 to 2.4 vertebrae for VLAS. The reference interval for POMs was 9.5 to 12.0 vertebrae for VHS and 1.7 to 2.6 vertebrae for VLAS. The reference interval for Pugs was 9.7 to 12.0 vertebrae for VHS and 1.7 to 2.7 vertebrae for VLAS. The reference interval for BTs was 9.7 to 13.0 vertebrae for VHS and 1.6 to 2.7 vertebrae for VLAS.

CONCLUSIONS
Pugs, YTs, POMs, and BTs have breed-specific VHS and VLAS reference intervals.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Clinicians should be aware of these results to accurately diagnose cardiac disease in these breeds.
(Im)material Language: Revealing the Body through Metaphor
Authors: Vojtíšková Lenka 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
When Roman Jakobson, based on his exploration of the problem of aphasia, distinguishes two aspects that characterize language – metaphoricity and metonymy – he touches on an important issue that will become a central theme for some of his followers. This question is the materiality of language. From the point of view of the aphatic himself, metaphoricity and metonymy express two extreme ways of relating to the material of language. A productive elaboration of this thesis in the history of semiotics has been provided by Julia Kristeva, who radicalizes Jakobson’s conclusions by working with the fundamental concepts of Freudian psychoanalysis. In the paper, I will compare Kristeva’s approach to that of Jacques Lacan and attempt to reconstruct the theoretical assumptions that allow Kristeva to ascribe to metaphor a privileged role that consists of the constant opening of the sphere of the sign towards the body of the subject. To illustrate some important aspects, I will turn to Vítězslav Nezval’s novella Sexual Nocturne (1931), where the connection between language and body plays a central role.
The ‘Worlds of Cinema’ and the ‘Cinema of Worlds’: A Heideggerian Phenomenology
Authors: Trubody Ben 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Within a range of academic disciplines like film studies, philosophy of film, and narratology, scholars talk about ‘worlds.’ In this essay, I present various ‘ontic’ and ‘ontological’ descriptions of ‘world’ according to a Heideggerian phenomenology. My aim is to distinguish between what I call the ‘worlds of cinema,’ which bring about a particular subject-object relationship experienced as absorption, immersion, distraction, or distancing, and the ‘cinema of worlds,’ where film as art unsettles us as an ontological event, disrupting the subject-object dynamic in which we understand the depthlessness of our Being. Where the once familiar webs of meaning that made up our lives to which movies normally appeal, are now made strange to us through an onto-cinematic event. Here the actuality of my world is only known via its possibilities to which the film, as art, now draws my attention.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM) dan kepercayaan merek terhadap minat beli produk Somethinc, khususnya pada Generasi Z di Kota Banda Aceh. Berdasarkan teori reasoned action dari Icek Ajzen dan Martin Fishbein, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan menyebarkan kuisioner melalui Google Form kepada 289 responden. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji regresi linier berganda dengan bantuan perangkat lunak SPSS. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa e-WOM dan kepercayaan merek secara signifikan mempengaruhi minat beli secara parsial dan simultan. Selain itu, nilai adjusted R square sebesar 0,554 yang menunjukkan bahwa variabel independen mempengaruhi variabel dependen sebesar 55,4%, sementara sisa 44,6% dipengaruhi oleh variabel lain. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa e-WOM dan kepercayaan merek berpengaruh signifikan terhadap minat beli produk Somethinc di kalangan Generasi Z di Kota Banda Aceh. The information shared on social media platforms plays an important role in shaping individuals' perceptions and considerations, which are then reflected in beliefs about a brand's credibility and integrity, potentially motivating purchasing decisions. This study aims to examine the influence of Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM) and brand trust on the purchase intention of Somethinc products, specifically among Generation Z in Banda Aceh. Based on the Reasoned Action Theory by Icek Ajzen and Martin Fishbein, this study adopts a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires via Google Forms to 289 respondents. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS software. The results of data analysis indicate that e-WOM and brand trust significantly affect purchase intention both partially and simultaneously. Additionally, the adjusted R-square value of 0.554 shows that the independent variables explain 55.4% of the dependent variable, while the remaining 44.6% is influenced by other variables. Therefore, it can be concluded that e-WOM and brand trust significantly influence the purchase intention of Somethinc products among Generation Z in Banda Aceh.
