Transcending Pseudohistory: Korean Early Asia and Discourse Analysis
Authors: Logie Andrew 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Advocates of Korean pseudohistory imagine early Korea to have comprised a vast continental empire. They accuse professional scholars, who reject their ideas, of promoting “colonial historiography” to the benefit of China and Japan. This polemic resonates with domestic political nationalism. In 2014–15 it caused the termination of two government-funded projects, and a similar incident occurred in 2023. Despite a series of critiques, pseudohistory continues to thrive, particularly in the popular domain, and cannot be ignored. The challenge is how to address it. The author suggests two directions that can attend to pseudohistory while offering constructive areas for new research. The first is to pay attention to a discourse of Korean scholarship that focuses on regions extending beyond the conventional boundaries of Early Korea. This discourse represents a critical counterpart to pseudohistorical narratives of expansive empire, while its study enables engagement with Korean scholarship. The second suggestion is wider discourse analysis. For given topics of early Korea and Asia, we should model popular and pseudohistorical discourse alongside scholarly discourse, thus attending to popular and public domains. To address online, screen, and real-world sites of historical discourse, this article calls for constructive collaboration from a wider disciplinary spectrum of Korean studies and communication fields.
The Sacred Text and the Language of the Leader: “Cultured Language” and the Rhetorical Turn in North Korea
Authors: Roy Ria 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article examines the emergence of munhwaŏ (“Cultured Language”) in relation to the primacy of the leader in the DPRK. The articulation of the linguistic and cultural policies of munhwaŏ was inseparable from the development and formalization of the political leadership. The active translation, reception, and development of the Stalinist and Soviet linguistic tradition by North Korean intellectuals, together with the death of Stalin in 1953, importantly shaped the state’s quest for linguistic modernity. By tracing the “rhetorical turn” in North Korean linguistics in the 1960s, the author explores the development of munhwaŏ and its relation to the distinctive development of a charismatic oratory and a linguistic etiquette for the leader. One significant feature of North Korea’s quest for linguistic modernity is the way in which it diverges from its Soviet counterpart. By meticulously theorizing the language to be used of and for the leader, or what the author describes as the linguistic ritualization of charisma, North Korea offered an original contribution to the field of charismatic rhetoric. A comprehensive manual describing this rhetoric was developed, serving as a guide to the “sacred text” of the leader and describing how to articulate and express the presence of the leader in the public sphere.

Imaging insights suggesting a sinister cause of a breast mass in adolescents: A case of rhabdomyosarcoma in a teenager
Authors: Malik Mariam , Idrees Rana Bilal , Khalid Maham , Munir Ameema , Nawaz Saba , Nawaz Zainab , Chaudhary Muhammad Hamid 
Published: October 2024

Background: Sarcomas of the breast are exceedingly rare, accounting for less than 1% of malignant breast tumors, with primary rhabdomyosarcomas being even rarer. Due to the scarcity of reported cases, the imaging characteristics of breast rhabdomyosarcoma are not well-defined, making diagnosis challenging, especially in adolescents. Case description: We present the case of a 17-year-old female diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma following a comprehensive workup for right breast masses. Initial imaging showed no distant metastasis, and the patient underwent a right mastectomy followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. A few months post-treatment, she developed recurrent nodules in the chest wall. Further investigation confirmed the recurrence of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Conclusions: This case underscores the importance of considering primary rhabdomyosarcoma as a differential diagnosis in adolescent breast lesions. Given its rare occurrence and potential imaging overlap with more common tumors like cystosarcoma phyllodes, awareness and careful evaluation are critical for accurate diagnosis and timely management.

Management of dental trauma: re-attachment workflows. Guidelines and case studies
Authors: Chandrapal Andrew 
Published: October 2024

Dental trauma presents in a number of different ways and the outcome of treatment of trauma is equally varied, and can be dependent on the mode of management at the acute presentation. Pulpal vitality, retention of the periodontal ligament, discolouration factors, apical maturity, mobility and recession are just some of the follow-up complications that can be influenced not only by the nature of the injury, but also the method of immediate management. This report of two cases of broken incisors highlights the use of adhesive techniques and a knowledge of hue, chroma and opacity to re-attach tooth fragments in an aesthetic zone trauma. The cases also highlight the variance of outcome based on the nature of the trauma and the injury sustained. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To highlight the relevance of trauma management, the techniques available and the variation in outcome with treatment.
The integration of facial aesthetics and aesthetic dentistry
Authors: Al-Mukhtar Zainab 
Published: October 2024

The aesthetics industry is still unregulated in the UK, and with the surge in people seeking facial aesthetic procedures, there has been a concomitant increase in the incidence of complications associated with these procedures. Dentists are especially well positioned to undertake facial aesthetic treatments providing that they have the appropriate training. Dentists generally have a strong foundational understanding of facial anatomy, in particular skeletal jaw structure, musculature, nerve and main vascular supply. In particular, dentists are exceptionally insightful around the peri-oral region and the smile. CPD/Clinical Relevance: There are many parallels and transferable skills between dentistry and facial aesthetics and dentists are well positioned to undertake facial aesthetic treatments after appropriate training.
To bond or not to bond: considerations for choosing the appropriate treatment for closing a midline diastema
Authors: Halley Elaine 
Published: October 2024

In the realm of dental aesthetics, the decision between employing a resin composite material bonded to the dental hard tissues, or orthodontics to address a midline diastema and enhance smile aesthetics, can be complex and multifaceted. This article delves into the critical considerations and decision-making processes guiding dental practitioners through how to decide when orthodontic movement, while a more costly and complex treatment option, might provide optimum aesthetics. By exploring the aetiology of midline diastemas, and the pivotal role of the central incisor in smile aesthetics the author aims to equip clinicians with a comprehensive framework. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article shows how to assess suitable treatment modalities for closing midline diastemas in adult patients.
Biophysical and aesthetic recovery in incisor hypomineralisation: a modified protocol
Authors: Tam Clarence P 
Published: October 2024

The clinical management of incisor hypomineralisation (IH) as it pertains to biophysical and aesthetic recovery, especially in the teeth of young individuals, is fraught with complexity. Treatment modalities are wide and varied, and often, if used in the wrong sequence, can lead to a suboptimal aesthetic result. Approaches, such as chemical micro-abrasion, air particle abrasion and tooth whitening have been used in the past, in addition to resin infiltration for the treatment of affected enamel. The penetration depth of hypomineralised lesions by resin infiltrant has been reported to vary and be dependent on the pre-treatment modalities used. The elimination of brown-coloured aspects of the IH lesion via tray-delivered tooth whitening is critical prior to resin infiltration because once the resin has polymerised, it will be more impermeable and thus less likely to be modified by oxidative action. This case report describes an extended resin infiltration period under diminished ambient light prior to polymerisation that was required for aesthetic success. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Ideal sequencing of treatment prior to resin infiltration is critical for physico-aesthetic success. The length of resin infiltration can be increased if results are not seen by the manufacturer-prescribed application time.
Food poverty: The role of the school nurse
Authors: Gallogly Ann Marie 
Published: October 2024

The cost of living crisis and food poverty continue to be a significant challenge for children, young people and their families. In SAPHNA's augural survey of school nurses, 70% of respondents reported to have supported children, young people, and families where the cost of living and/or food poverty was an issue. Comments include that services had noticed ‘an increased demand for community services – food banks, uniform banks, charity funding for white goods, etc.’ School nurses reported a range of activities in relation to supporting children, young people and families, which broadly fell into direct provision, supported access to community services and provision, and advocacy work. You will be able to read more about this in the full survey report which will be published soon. Ann Marie Gallogly, deputy professional officer shares how SAPHNA works as part of a coalition to support children, young people and their families and respond to the challenges of food poverty and the cost of living crisis, and explains how school nurses support children and young people.

Optimization design of a polarization-independent grating coupler on lithium-niobate-on-insulator
Authors: Xing Xinke , Chen Bin , Chen Kaixuan , Liu Liu 
Published: October 2024

We have designed a novel, to the best of our knowledge, polarization-independent grating coupler with non-uniform periods, assisted by plasmonic modes on a lithium-niobate-on-insulator platform. Through simulations, we demonstrate that depositing metal into the LN grating trenches excites plasmonic modes, which effectively tune the effective refractive index difference between the TE and TM modes. Unlike previous studies, the etching depth of the LN is optimized to maximize the coupling efficiency for both polarization modes simultaneously within the C-band. The coupling efficiency, polarization-dependent loss (PDL), and back reflection were further optimized using inverse design. The simulated coupling loss of the proposed grating is −3.18dB for the TE mode and −3.22dB for the TM mode. The PDLs are less than 0.09 dB, and the back reflection to the waveguide is below −11.9dB for both polarization modes over an 80 nm wavelength range. Additionally, we designed a taper that connects the gratings and single-mode waveguides to reduce transmission loss for TM modes by mitigating the influence of mode hybridization, resulting in a PDL of less than 0.03 dB. This novel grating coupler has potential applications in polarization multiplexing and polarization-independent systems on LNOI chips.
Influence of the color of semi-funnel traps on Xylophagous coleoptera capture efficiency in forest fragments
Authors: Trevisan Henrique , Sampaio de Souza Thiago , Da Silva Amancio Juliene Maria 
Published: October 2024

Bark and ambrosia beetles, mainly the ones belonging to groups Scolytinae, Bostrichidae and Platypodinae, can kill trees from reforestation areas or native forests and damage the wood. Population monitoring and the identification of quarantine species are carried out by assembling ethanol-baited traps. The aims of the current study are to evaluate the influence of the color of ethanol-baited traps on the efficient capture of these insects, as well as to measure changes in colorimetric variables based on trap exposure in the field and to investigate whether these changes affect capture efficiency. Eight ethanolic traps (red, yellow, black and transparent traps - two of each color) were installed in a forest fragment in the first experimental stage – samples were collected on a weekly basis, for 11 months. New and used transparent traps were installed in the field in the second experimental stage - samples were collected for additional 11 months. A portable spectrophotometer was used to measure the colorimetric variables in these traps. The mean number of Scolytinae individuals (± SD) captured in transparent traps (48±50) was significantly higher than that of individuals captured in black (24±25), yellow (23±21) and red (22±21) traps. However, transparent traps subjected to field conditions were colonized by such as fungi, bacteria and mosses, which changed the transparent state of the traps into a darkened color and significantly affected their capture efficiency. The total number of 6,268 Scolytinae individuals were collected at this experimental stage: 4,977 of them were captured in new traps, whereas 1,291 were captured in the old ones. Based on the herein measured colorimetric variables, such color change got significantly intensified as transparent traps remained under field conditions. In conclusion, transparent traps were more efficient in capturing Scolytinae individuals than the black, yellow and red traps. In addition, the exposure to field conditions has progressively changed equipment color and decreased its capture efficiency.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this article, we aim to present a new extension of the beta-logarithmic function with the help of an extended beta function and logarithmic mean. Then we introduce its statistical properties and investigate some basic important formulas of extended beta-logarithmic functions, such as integral representation, summation formula and Mellin transform. Further, we consider a new type of hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions using this extended beta-logarithmic function and discuss their various result.
Finite Element Formulations for Maxwell’s Eigenvalue Problem Using Continuous Lagrangian Interpolations
Authors: Boffi Daniele , Codina Ramon , Türk Önder 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We consider nodal-based Lagrangian interpolations for the finite element approximation of the Maxwell eigenvalue problem. The first approach introduced is a standard Galerkin method on Powell–Sabin meshes, which has recently been shown to yield convergent approximations in two dimensions, whereas the other two are stabilized formulations that can be motivated by a variational multiscale approach. For the latter, a mixed formulation equivalent to the original problem is used, in which the operator has a saddle point structure. The Lagrange multiplier introduced to enforce the divergence constraint vanishes in an appropriate functional setting. The first stabilized method consists of an augmented formulation including a mesh dependent term that can be regarded as the Laplacian of the divergence constraint multiplier. The second formulation is based on orthogonal projections, which can be recast as a residual based stabilization technique. We rely on the classical spectral theory to analyze the approximating methods for the eigenproblem. The stability and convergence aspects are inherited from the associated source problems together with an assumption which is discussed numerically. We investigate the performance of the proposed formulations and provide some convergence results validating the theoretical ones for several benchmark tests, including ones with smooth and singular solutions.
A Finite Element Analysis in Balanced Norms for a Coupled System of Singularly Perturbed Reaction-Diffusion Equations
Authors: Armentano María Gabriela , Lombardi Ariel L. , Penessi Cecilia 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this paper we study approximations of a singularly perturbed system of two coupled reaction-diffusion equations, in one dimension, by using piecewise linear finite elements on graded meshes. When the parameters are of different magnitudes, the solution exhibits in general two distinct but overlapping boundary layers. We prove that, when the mesh grading parameter is appropriately chosen, optimal error estimates in a balanced norm for piecewise linear elements can be obtained. Supporting numerical results are also presented.
Examining the spread of disinformation on Facebook during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic: A case study in Switzerland
Authors: Baumann Mirjam , Humprecht Edda 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Disinformation poses a significant threat to democratic societies, particularly in the context of the Covid-19 health crisis. This study delves into the prevalence and nature of disinformation in social media by analyzing Facebook accounts of political actors and alternative media within the unique Swiss landscape during the first wave of the pandemic. Using standardized quantitative content analysis, we categorize posts as either accurate, reconfigured, or fabricated. Our findings reveal a disconcerting pattern: Disinformation was shared more frequently than accurate information. Notably, right-wing politicians and parties, alongside alternative media sources, emerged as the most prolific disseminators of disinformation. Digging deeper, we discovered that the predominant form of disinformation shared on social media was reconfigured disinformation, signifying manipulated or contextually distorted information. This prevalence of reconfigured disinformation on social media platforms raises pressing concerns about the public’s ability to discern fact from fiction. Moreover, our study shines a spotlight on the inadvertent or perhaps deliberate contributions of right-wing politicians and parties and alternative media sources to the propagation of disinformation. By examining this phenomenon within the Swiss context during the initial wave of the pandemic, we provide valuable insights into the dynamics of disinformation and its implications for society during crisis situations.
