Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this article, the expert evaluations transformed in the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) model are presented in the discrimination q-rung picture linguistic fuzzy numbers (q-RPLFNs). In the construction of a second-order additive fuzzy measure (TOAFM) the attributes’ interaction indexes and Shapley values are taken into account. The Shapley entropy maximum principle for identification of associated probabilities class (APC) of a TOAFM is constructed. Based on the APC of the TOAFM, a new aggregation operators’ class is constructed which represents some hybrid extensions of ordered weighted averaging (OWA), geometric (OWG), the Choquet integral averaging (CA) and geometric (CG) operators under discrimination q-rung orthopair fuzzy (q-ROF) and q-rung picture linguistic fuzzy (q-RPLF) information. These operators, constructed for the q-RPLF and q-ROF environments, take into account the overall pair interactions among attributes. Main properties on the correctness of extensions are proved: for the lower and upper capacities of order 2, all constructed operators consequently coincide with q-ROF and q-RPLF Choquet averaging and geometric operators, respectively. Constructed operators in the evaluation of prediction of fuzzy Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems (CFRS) are used. New symmetric discrimination measures as some extensions of discrimination measures for the fuzzy CFRS are proposed. Users’ profile data by the constructed operators in the new similarity measure under q-rung picture linguistic environment are aggregated. The developed new approach is schematically described in such a way that it can be “embedded” in any existing CFRS model. An example is given to illustrate the results, for which the software designed to aggregate profile data for similarity comparison provides the use of new and well-known classical aggregation operators.
Periodontal plastic surgery and regenerative periodontal surgery in a forty-seven-year-old patient with cleft lip and palate
Authors: Kiramira David 
Published: July 2024

AbstractCleft lip and palate represent one of the most prevalent congenital malformations in humans, with an estimated prevalence of 0.45 per 1,000 individuals. During childhood and adolescence, affected patients undergo lengthy and complicated interdisciplinary treatment including treatment from specialists in pediatric medicine, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, and otorhinolaryngology. The patient exhibited scarred adhesions with localized mucogingival deformities of the premaxilla (region 12 − 11), bilateral cleft lip and palate, and a complex underlying one-wall intrabony osseous defect on tooth 11, in addition to hard- and soft-tissue deficiencies at the dental implant in region 12. Following the administration of localized anti-infective periodontal therapy, regenerative periodontal surgery, regenerative surgical therapy of periimplantitis, and periodontal plastic surgery were performed. This resulted in a long-term, stable improvement in the clinical situation. Regenerative periodontal therapy and periodontal plastic surgery in patients with palato-alveolar cleft present a significant challenge due to the poor condition of the mucosa and gingiva adjacent to the defect and the insufficient bone dimensions. For this reason, it seems beneficial to include the periodontist in the interdisciplinary treatment team of a patient with cleft lip and palate from the outset. It is recommended that the patient be provided with dental prophylaxis measures and receive individualized oral hygiene instructions in addition to the main maxillofacial and orthodontic treatment. This approach would facilitate the identification of mucogingival issues at an early stage and the implementation of appropriate treatment.
Confidence Is Influenced by Evidence Accumulation Time in Dynamical Decision Models
Authors: Hellmann Sebastian , Zehetleitner Michael , Rausch Manuel 
Published: July 2024

AbstractConfidence judgments are closely correlated with response times across a wide range of decision tasks. Sequential sampling models offer two competing explanations for the relationship between confidence and response time: According to some models, decision time directly influences confidence. Other models explain the correlation by linking subjective confidence computation to the decision process dynamics. In previous model comparisons, drift diffusion-based confidence models that do not explicitly consider decision time in the computation of confidence provided superior model fits compared to race models that directly included decision time in the internal computation of confidence. In the present study, we present support for the assumption that confidence explicitly takes decision time and post-decisional accumulation time into account. We propose the dynamical visibility, time, and evidence (dynaViTE) model, an extension of the dynamical weighted evidence and visibility (dynWEV) model. DynaViTE assumes that confidence is not solely based on the final amount of accumulated evidence but explicitly includes time in the computation of confidence. Model comparisons using four previously published data sets with different perceptual decision tasks showed a good model fit of dynaViTE, indicating that the relationship between confidence and response time is not only due to the close link in the accumulation process but also to an explicit inclusion of time in the computation of confidence.

AbstractThe effect of TiB2 addition on microstructure refinement of the as-cast and reheated A517 steel has been investigated. 0.1 wt.% TiB2 addition resulted in a reduction in equiaxed γ grain size from 990 ± 183 to 116 ± 35 μm and an increase in the volume fraction of equiaxed γ grain region from 5% to 67% in the as-cast A517 steel ingots. Microstructure analysis identified TiN particles rather than TiB2. This is attributed to the low thermodynamic stability of TiB2, leading to its decomposition into free Ti and B elements at an elevated temperature. Then, chemical reaction between the free Ti and residual nitrogen in the liquid resulted in the formation of TiN. Hence, it is considered that TiN acted as heterogeneous nucleation sites for the δ-ferrite. This initiated the refinement and columnar to equiaxed transition of δ-dendrites. As a result, the subsequently formed γ grains were correspondingly refined. Such microstructure refinement led to improvement of the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the as-cast A517 steel. However, the reheating of the as-cast A517 steel resulted in a marginal microstructure refinement in the samples with low TiB2 addition. This is attributed to the limited pinning effect of the coarse TiN particles formed during casting process. Consequently, the tensile properties of the reheated A517 steel remained unaffected by the TiB2 addition.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The objective of the present study is to analyze a damped Mathieu–cubic quintic Duffing oscillator as a parametric nonlinear oscillatory dynamical system. This equation has multiple applications in diverse fields, including optics, quantum physics, and general relativity. There are multiple concerns related to periodic motion and the analysis of boundary-value problems with elliptic symmetries. The current effort aims to determine the frequency amplitude of parametric nonlinear issues.

Method
The non-perturbative approach (NPA) is employed to transform the nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) into a linear equation. The derivation of the approximate solutions is achieved without relying on typical perturbation approaches, separate from the series expansion. Hence, the objective of this study is to depart from traditional perturbation methods and acquire approximated solutions for minor amplitude parametric components without imposing any limitations. Furthermore, the technique is extended to ascertain optimal solutions for the nonlinear large amplitude of fluctuation.

Results
The current approach allows for rapid estimation of the frequency-amplitude relationship in order to attain successive approximations of the solutions for parametric nonlinear fluctuations. A validation is obtained for the derived parametric equation, demonstrating a high level of agreement with the original equation. An analysis of stability behavior is conducted in multiple scenarios. In addition, the Floquet theory is used to examine the transition curves.

Conclusion
The current technique is characterized by its clear principles, making it practical, user-friendly, and capable of achieving exceptionally high numerical precision. The current approach is highly beneficial for addressing nonlinear parametric problems due to its ability to minimize algebraic complexity during implementation.

AbstractPrevention of child abuse and maltreatment is critical in the Ozark region of Missouri where rates are higher than in other areas of the state. Community-based organizations seeking to address these issues in rural areas face significant challenges both internal and external to the organization. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), Whole Kids Outreach (WKO) utilized a modified concept mapping approach to identify strategies needed to address these challenges and more effectively implement the Healthy Families America (HFA) program in seven counties in the rural Missouri Ozark region. Semi-structured interviews were used to identify barriers and supports to the implementation of HFA. Statements were generated via in-person and telephone interviews with key stakeholders (WKO internal staff and external partners). These stakeholders then sorted statements into like piles and rated them according to importance. Concept mapping systems software, using multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis, was used to determine the most salient cluster solution. The resulting cluster map depicted six thematic clusters and provided a visual representation of relationships between clusters. Stakeholders were then guided through a nominal group process to prioritize key issues and begin to develop strategies to address them.
Optimization of Coronary Stent Design Using Response Surface Modeling
Authors: Subedi Sujan , Joshi Prajwol 
Published: July 2024

AbstractCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of premature death and can partially be treated using coronary stents. During stent placement in the artery, vascular wall injuries occur due to the nonuniform expansion of the stent. The radial displacement at the distal end of the stent becomes greater than the radial displacement at the middle of the stent. This phenomenon is known as the dogboning effect. This paper presents a possible solution to counteract this effect by optimizing the design parameters of polymeric bioresorbable Palmaz-Schatz stent. SolidWorks 2019 (Dassault Systèmes) is used to design the coronary stent. The finite element method (Abaqus standard) is used to investigate the expansion behavior of the stents. The optimization method uses forty initial samples to approximate the functional relationship between design parameters and the objective function. Optimization methods based on response surface methodology (RSM) using a regression model are proposed to decrease the dogboning effect. The optimization technique using RSM resulted in a 78.67% reduction in the dogboning rate from the average dogboning rate of initial samples and an 87.7% reduction in comparison with the original stent. This research offers valuable insights into mitigating the dogboning effect, thereby advancing the development of more efficient stent designs for treating CVDs.

AbstractMozambique’s Community Health Worker (CHW) or Agentes Polivalentes Elementares in Portuguese (APE) in Mozambique was reinitiated in 2010 after an unsuccessful first attempt decades prior. Two decades after this reinitialization, the Ministry of Health of Mozambique (MoH) and other interested parties sought to understand how the implementation of APEs interventions is progressing. Given its low coverage of many health interventions. A cross-sectional study was carried out in six districts of the Province of Zambézia, namely: Ile, Inhassunge, Milange, Mocubela, Mulevala, and Pebane. A questionnaire was developed based on government plans, APE training material, and best practices for implementing ACS programs found in the literature for individual face-to-face interviews with APEs. A descriptive analysis was carried out to summarize the different components of the APEs program according to the interviewees' responses. A total of 148 APEs were interviewed. Only 48% of APEs replenished their kits every month, and stock-outs of medications ranged from 19 to 92%, with expired medication being found for 5–13% of the medications. Although the quality of supervision appears high with APEs reporting service delivery observation (88%), discussion of work performance (81%) and work-related problems (91%), checking of supplies (90%), review of records (93%), and praise (92%) during their last supervision, only 59% of the sample study reported having had their last meeting with their supervisor less than 1 month ago. APEs are very important in providing care to patients in remote communities. Nonetheless, challenges persist in ensuring the proper performance of the APEs program. More urgently, there is a need to focus more on securing a constant supply of APE kits to provide patient care and on regular and timely delivery of subsidies as an incentive.

AbstractRajasthan faces significant environmental challenges, including the pressing need for effective climate change mitigation strategies. Recognizing afforestation as a vital tool in this endeavor, this study leverages the latest in remote sensing and geospatial analysis to map out the state's afforestation potential. The goal is to assess land suitability across Rajasthan for afforestation projects and evaluate the potential carbon sequestration capabilities of different tree species. This aims to inform sustainable land management strategies that can contribute to climate change mitigation. By integrating satellite imagery, land cover data, terrain analysis, and vegetation indices, the study evaluates environmental factors such as slope, soil moisture, and vegetation health to identify areas optimal for tree planting. A carbon sequestration model was also developed to estimate sequestration rates based on species-specific growth patterns. Findings indicate that approximately 40% of Rajasthan is suitable for afforestation, with potential carbon sequestration rates ranging from 2 to 8 tons per hectare per year. Species such as Azadirachta indica (Neem) and Prosopis cineraria (Khejri) are identified as particularly effective for short-term sequestration, while Phyllanthus emblica (Amla) and Ziziphus mauritiana (Ber) are better suited for long-term carbon capture. This research highlights the importance of targeted afforestation using suitable tree species as a nature-based solution (NBS) for climate change mitigation in Rajasthan. The study offers a data-driven approach to enhancing ecosystem resilience and supports decision-making for climate adaptation in arid regions, highlighting the significant potential of Rajasthan's land for carbon sequestration through afforestation.

Published: July 2024

AbstractPeat soil presents significant challenges for construction due to its inherent weak properties, including high water content, limited permeability, low shear Strength, low specific gravity, and acidity. Despite the potential of Mg-rich synthetic gypsum (MRSG) to improve soil properties, research on its use for stabilising severely poor peat soils is limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating the efficacy of MRSG in peat soil stabilisation using a novel multi-layering backfill approach. The methodology includes soil classification of peat soil. And, to understand the mechanical and chemical changes of stabilized peat soil, the unconfined compressive Strength (UCS) testing and microstructural analysis using SEM, EDX, and XRD before and after stabilisation are studied. Peat samples were treated with MRSG through backfilling method in 5, 7, and 9 layers and evaluated the strength increment after curing periods of 7, 28, and 60 days. Results demonstrate that MRSG significantly enhanced the compressive strength, increasing it to 210.33 kPa as early as 7 days for 9 layers of backfill incomparable with the untreated soil strength of 51.87 kPa. The new cementitious product in the soil known as ettringite was observed from SEM analysis and confirmed by the EDX and XRD analysis. By recycling industrial byproducts, this environmentally friendly method encourages sustainability and lessens dependency on raw resources, which is important for infrastructure construction and other projects in areas rich in peat.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe eddy‐covariance (EC) method assumes a homogeneous underlying surface. However, recent studies increasingly examining on EC measurements across diverse surfaces, raising concerns about measurement precision and accuracy. This study evaluates the impacts of altering the emission height and rate on the EC measurements through utilizing an artificial source emission system. The results demonstrated a significant impact of changes in the emission height and rate on the EC measurements. Higher emission height may lead to the underestimation of the measured EC fluxes, attributed to the variations in the footprint area and turbulent transport. Traditional data quality control methods may discard effective EC data during sudden changes in the emission rate. Therefore, to secure effective data and accurately observe emissions, it was practical to analyze the auxiliary factors, such as environmental factors, such as vapor pressure deficit (VPD). An unresolved issue would persist with the correction of the EC method for accurately capturing the actual emission signals when there was a sudden increase in the data range or deviation. Furthermore, comparing the footprint model estimations with the actual emissions demonstrated the necessity of footprint analyses, offering a valuable reference for the data calibration when the uncertainties arose owing to inhomogeneous underlying surfaces. Although EC fluxes across the three averaging periods indicated no significant differences, the footprint model suggested that 15‐min interval was the optimal. Further validation experiments are required for the EC measurements in locations with complex source conditions to enhance our understanding of land‐atmosphere flux exchange.
The Tectonic Structure and Evolution of the Potiguar‐Ceará Rifted Margin of Brazil

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe Brazilian Equatorial Margin (BEM) is interpreted as a transform margin, where the last segment opened during Gondwana rifting. However, margin evolution, and break‐up age remain unconstrained. We interpret >10k km of crustal‐scale seismic images extending along ∼600 km of the margin calibrated with drillholes. We determine the style and timing of tectonics across the rift system. We link changes in crustal‐scale structure and age of sediment deposits to interpret variations with the style of extension and intensity of thinning across the BEM. Observations support a rift evolution where deformation is initially distributed forming a shallow basin, subsequently focusses, and later migrates basin‐ward forming the deep‐water domain. We interpret that tectonic activity started ∼140–136 Ma and stopped earlier in the shallow basin causing minor thinning, than in the deep‐water domain with a ∼60 km wide area with 4–8 km thick crust extended in Late Aptian to Early Albian (116–110 Ma). Constraints from seismic and drilling help define an abrupt continent to ocean transition (COT) where continental crust may be abutted by oceanic crust, and breakup occurred at early Albian time. Basin sedimentation from the onset to the Late Aptian is continental, indicating an isolated environment disconnected from Atlantic oceans. During late‐most Aptian to Early Albian basin sedimentation changes and indicates a comparatively rapid marine water infill. Rifting of the BEM is not dominated by transcurrent deformation as previously inferred, with strike‐slip faulting limited to comparatively small sectors, whereas most of the margin extended by normal faulting deformation.
