Ozone: A paradigm shift in dental therapy
Authors: Srinivasan Samuel Raj , Amaechi Bennett T. 
Published: September 2019

Objectives:
Ozone has been used in medicine for over a century, but its clinical applications in dentistry have just begun to be explored. The effects of ozone either as gas, water, or oil in the treatment of dental diseases such as caries, periodontitis, and hypersensitivity have been investigated and the results are promising. Thus, the objective of this review is to shed light on the recent clinical oral applications of ozone and summarize the various research findings regarding the use of ozone in dentistry. This review would enable researchers to know the background of ozone in dentistry and to help them formulate new and improved protocols to study the possible applications of ozone in clinical dentistry.

Data Sources:
Pertinent literature on the application of ozone to treat various dental diseases was thoroughly searched using Medline, PubMed, Central, Cochrane, and Embase.

Conclusion:
Clinical use of ozone is a minimally invasive approach toward the prevention and control of oral diseases. The present literature review observed encouraging results on the use of ozone in various modalities of dental treatments. However, the use of ozone in dentistry needs further investigation using controlled clinical trials, with sufficient, follow-up period and standardized measurements to establish ozone therapy as a standard treatment modality in dental practice.
Arrecifes de arenisca en el Golfo de Salamanca, plataforma continental del Caribe colombiano
Authors: Zea Sven , Bernal Gladys , López Gloria , Weber Marion , García-Urueña Rocío Del Pilar 
Published: September 2019

In tropical seas there are submerged hard bottoms that harbor corals but that are not coralline in origin. This is the case for the “Banco de las Ánimas” sector in the continental shelf of the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombian Caribbean. In its upper portion (14–16 m in depth), there are low mounds of sandstone blocks and slabs, conforming reefs, colonized by coralline biota and sparse corals. To confirm their lithology an initial petrographic analysis was carried out, which showed the rocks are made up of fine-grained sands, mature in texture, cemented by dolomite. It is proposed that these reefs were formed in a beach–dune–lagoon system during an ancient sea level, similar to the recent coastal bar of Salamanca. In these high-evaporation, supratidal saline environments, they could have been formed as beach rocks or as eolianites, by aragonite cementation, modified later into dolomite. Whether the foundation of the deeper coral formations of the bankis also sandstone or in fact coralline, remains to be determined.

The Continuum: A New Approach to the Place of Tort in a Contractual Matrix
Authors: Thomson William 
Published: September 2019

This paper discusses the approach that is taken in New Zealand to determining whether a tortious duty of care can exist across a contractual matrix. The two step approach adopted in the recent decision of the Court of Appeal in Rolls-Royce NZ Ltd v Carter Holt Harvey Ltd is fundamentally agreed with. A continuum is suggested for the balancing exercise in the tortious duty of care inquiry. This rationalises past cases and will hopefully provide guidance for future ones.
The New Zealand Civil Union Act: New Challenges for Private International Law
Authors: Campbell Joanna 
Published: September 2019

This article discusses private international law issues which arise as a result of the Civil Union Act 2004, which came into force in 2005. The author first discusses what kind of recognition New Zealand may extend to foreign unions, including both civil union type relationships and same sex marriages. This discussion considers recognition under the Civil Unions (Recognised Overseas Relationships) Regulations 2005, recognition as marriage and other possible avenues of recognition. This includes a consideration of currently recognised and unrecognised relationships, and the desirability of the current approach. It also includes a discussion of the issues surrounding the recognition of these types of relationships generally; for example, validity, status and public policy. The author then considers what kind of recognition the New Zealand civil union may receive in foreign jurisdictions.
"I'm Not Gay - Not That There's Anything Wrong with That!": Are Unwanted Imputations of Gayness Defamatory?
Authors: Knight Dean R 
Published: September 2019

The question of whether unwanted imputations of gayness are defamatory continues to be controversial. This article considers whether a person can bring a defamation claim if they have been described as being gay or lesbian. In particular, this article addresses whether such an imputation is defamatory, including whether such an imputation tends to lower the reputation of a person in the estimation of “right-thinking” members of society, and the unique issues that this imputation presents for possible defences. In addition to assessing the present position, this article considers whether imputations of gayness ought to be defamatory, particularly in the context of today’s legal environment. It is argued that an imputation of gayness should not be treated as being defamatory in the light of the reforms of gay and lesbian rights, including the anti-discrimination and equality protections that are now commonplace in Anglo-Commonwealth societies.
No Straight Answer: Homophobia as Both an Aggravating and Mitigating Factor in New Zealand Homicide Cases
Authors: McDonald Elisabeth 
Published: September 2019

This article discusses recent New Zealand homicide cases in which male defendants have sought to rely on the partial defence of provocation to excuse the killing of a man who allegedly made them the subject of unwanted sexual advances. The author argues that at least in cases in which such claims are unsuccessful, reference should be made to section 9(1)(h) of the Sentencing Act 2002, which renders homophobia an aggravating feature in sentencing. To the extent that section 9(1)(h) is not relied on, while provocation is successfully pleaded in some cases, the author concludes that gay male citizens are not afforded equal protection under the criminal law.

Authors: Hilendri Bq. Anggun , Indriani Eni , Dewi H Rento 
Published: September 2019

Economic events frequently determine stock price fluctuations in stock exchanges. Sometimes, these economic events tend to get negative responses from market participants. This study uses event study analysis, where the event analyzed was the announcement of government policy in the fiscal sector, the tax amnesty. The announcement of the tax amnesty policy implementation is considered to provide information that elicits reaction in the capital market, which can be measured by the abnormal return on the stock before and after the announcement of tax amnesty policy. This event window of this study was 6 trading days i.e. t-3 to t + 3 since tax amnesty policy became published on July 14, 2016. The sample used in this study consisted of 45 companies listed in LQ-45 index during July 2016. Analysis of average abnormal return is performed based on paired sample t test on three days before and three days after the announcement of tax amnesty policy. The test results show that there is a significant difference in market reaction as indicated by abnormal return value. However, the result of abnormal return shows negative value. It means that tax amnesty policy provides negative information for investor, which is contrary to the objective of tax amnesty policy to increase investment.

Authors: Malkova N. Yu. , Grebenkov S. V. , Kochetova O. A. 
Published: September 2019

Introduction. Laser radiation, discovered in the mid-twentieth century, is actively used in modern medicine. Along with the effects of high-energy lasers, researchers are attracting more and more attention to the methods of low-intensity laser therapy in the treatment of various diseases of the peripheral nervous system. At the same time, there are very few works in which the effectiveness of low-intensity laser radiation action in occupational diseases of the nervous system would be assessed.The aim of study was searching for information on the modern understanding of the mechanisms of action of low-intensity laser radiation and on its use in the treatment of occupational diseases of the nervous system in Russian and foreign scientific literature.Materials and methods: The article presents an overview of available scientific Russian and foreign literary sources. Search and selection of sources was carried out using open databases PubMed and RSCI.Results. Low-intensity laser therapy has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immunocorrective and reflexogenic effects. There are described cases of successful application of low-intensity laser radiation in the treatment of vibration disease, radicular and muscular tonic syndromes, carpal tunnel syndrome. At the same time, there are no works in which the influence of low-intensity laser radiation on the dynamics of professional polyneuropathy of the upper limbs would be assessed.Conclusions: The biological effect of low-intensity laser radiation is complex and many-sided. Low-intensity laser therapy has a wide spectrum of action on various pathogenesis pathways, it is a common method of treating diseases of the peripheral nervous system, including professional aetiology. The urgent task is to substantiate and develop a technique for using low-intensity laser radiation to treat patients with professional polyneuropathies of the upper limbs (as the most common occupational disease of the peripheral nervous system) and to evaluate its effectiveness during dynamic observation.

Authors: Devkota Pawan , Aryal Dipendra , Khanal Baburam 
Published: September 2019

Availability of plant nutrients in rhizosphere is directly influenced by types of crop grown and land use pattern. The experiment was conducted in Diktel Rupakot Majhuwagadhi Municipality, Khotang, Nepal to assess the soil nutrients dynamics as influenced by different cropping system. Five different cropping systems (Rice – Wheat, Maize – Millet, Maize – Vegetables, Ginger and Cardamom) were selected as treatments and all treatments were replicated for five times for blocking in Randomized Complete Block Design. Soil samples from 0-15 cm depth were collected from each site and evaluated for soil pH, soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), and available potassium (K). All the tested parameters except N were found to be significantly affected by cropping system. Soil in all five cropping systems were found acidic (pH<6.5) in nature with pH ranging from 5.180-6.640. The SOC was recorded highest (3.102%) from Cardamom based system and lowest amount of SOC was observed in Ginger based system. The highest amount of P (32.14 mg/kg) was reported in Maize – Vegetables cropping system and lowest P content (5.72 mg/kg) was recorded from Cardamom based system. P content in Ginger based system (31.51 mg/kg) was statistically at par with that of Rice – Wheat system. The highest K content (306.50 mg/kg) was recorded from Maize – Vegetable cropping system and lowest K content (34.80 mg/kg) was observed in Cardamom based system which is statistically similar to Rice –Wheat (35.70 mg/kg) and Maize –Millet systems (77.20 mg/kg). The result indicated that cropping systems have huge impact on plant nutrient dynamics in soil.
