Published: December 2014

Introduction: Orthodontic movement beyond the alveolar osseous limits may be associated with a greater tendency for developing severe gingival recession (GR), leading to esthetic compromise.Case Presentation: The purpose of this case report is to report the decision‐making process for the treatment of a challenging localized GR with root apex exposure caused by orthodontic movement; it was treated successfully after multidisciplinary approaches involving endodontic treatment, dental apicoectomy, and two periodontal mucogingival procedures, including a laterally positioned flap, subepithelial connective tissue, and bone grafts. The 2‐year follow‐up showed complete root coverage, long‐term stability of the gingival margin along with esthetic tissue contour and coloration, increased keratinized tissue, and complete filling of the bone depression.Conclusions: This case report serves as an example of how complex GRs caused by orthodontic movement may be resolved successfully by multidisciplinary approaches and using suitable root coverage techniques. The use of combined techniques in the present case report achieved complete root coverage and long‐term stability of the gingival margin and delivered the esthetics expected by the patient.

OBJECTIVE
To assess the change in level of diabetes quality management in primary care groups and outpatient clinics after feedback and tailored support.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This before-and-after study with a 1-year follow-up surveyed quality managers on six domains of quality management. Questionnaires measured organization of care, multidisciplinary teamwork, patient centeredness, performance results, quality improvement policy, and management strategies (score range 0–100%). Based on the scores, responders received feedback and a benchmark and were granted access to a toolbox of quality improvement instruments. If requested, additional support in improving quality management was available, consisting of an elucidating phone call or a visit from an experienced consultant. After 1 year, the level of quality management was measured again.

RESULTS
Of the initially 60 participating care groups, 51 completed the study. The total quality management score improved from 59.8% (95% CI 57.0–62.6%) to 65.1% (62.8–67.5%; P &lt; 0.0001). The same applied to all six domains. The feedback and benchmark improved the total quality management score (P = 0.001). Of the 44 participating outpatient clinics, 28 completed the study. Their total score changed from 65.7% (CI 60.3–71.1%) to 67.3% (CI 62.9–71.7%; P = 0.30). Only the results in the domain multidisciplinary teamwork improved (P = 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Measuring quality management and providing feedback and a benchmark improves the level of quality management in care groups but not in outpatient clinics. The questionnaires might also be a useful asset for other diabetes care groups, such as Accountable Care Organizations.
Active Control Of Oscillation Patterns In Nonlinear Dynamical Systems And Their Mathematical Modelling
Authors: Šutová Zuzana , Vrábeľ Róbert 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
The article deals with the active control of oscillation patterns in nonlinear dynamical systems and its possible use. The purpose of the research is to prove the possibility of oscillations frequency control based on a change of value of singular perturbation parameter placed into a mathematical model of a nonlinear dynamical system at the highest derivative. This parameter is in singular perturbation theory often called small parameter, as ε → 0+. Oscillation frequency change caused by a different value of the parameter is verified by modelling the system in MATLAB.
Visible Light Communication Physical Layer Design for Jist Simulation
Authors: Tomaš Boris 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
Current advances in computer networking consider using visible light spectrum to encode and decode digital data. This approach is relatively non expensive. However, designing appropriate MAC or any other upper layer protocol for Visible Light Communication (VLC) requires appropriate hardware. This paper proposes and implements such hardware simulation (physical layer) that is compatible with existing network stack.

Published: December 2014

Abstract
Silver streaks on injected thermoplastic parts are the undesirable features, considered as a visual surface defect. If they appear, elimination of this technological problem can be very difficult, especially in case the cause of their occurrence is not actually known. In this study, the detailed analysis of silver streaks formation was carried out. At first, the defect was microscopically studied. Then, the several analyses were performed to find the cause of silver streaks formation. Finally, solutions to the problem and elimination and this kind of surface defect were suggested.
Electron Beam Welding of Gear Wheels by Splitted Beam
Authors: Dřímal Daniel 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
This contribution deals with the issue of electron beam welding of high-accurate gear wheels composed of a spur gearing and fluted shaft joined with a face weld for automotive industry. Both parts made of the high-strength low-alloy steel are welded in the condition after final machining and heat treatment, performed by case hardening, whereas it is required that the run-out in the critical point of weldment after welding, i. e. after the final operation, would be 0.04 mm max..
In case of common welding procedure, cracks were formed in the weld, initiated by spiking in the weld root. Crack formation was prevented by the use of an interlocking joint with a rounded recess and suitable welding parameters, eliminating crack initiation by spiking in the weld root.
Minimisation of the welding distortions was achieved by the application of tack welding with simultaneous splitting of one beam into two parts in the opposite sections of circumferential face weld attained on the principle of a new system of controlled deflection with digital scanning of the beam.
This welding procedure assured that the weldment temperature after welding would not be higher than 400 °C.
Thus, this procedure allowed achieving the final run-outs in the critical point of gearwheels within the maximum range up to 0.04 mm, which is acceptable for the given application.
Accurate optical measurements did not reveal any changes in the teeth dimensions.

Answer questions and earn CME/CNEOver the past few decades, a body of research has emerged confirming what many adult patients with noncentral nervous system cancer have long reported—that cancer and its treatment are frequently associated with cancer‐related cognitive impairment (CRCI). The severity of CRCI varies, and symptoms can emerge early or late in the disease course. Nonetheless, CRCI is typically mild to moderate in nature and primarily involves the domains of memory, attention, executive functioning, and processing speed. Animal models and novel neuroimaging techniques have begun to unravel the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying CRCI, including the role of inflammatory cascades, direct neurotoxic effects, damage to progenitor cells, white matter abnormalities, and reduced functional connectivity, among others. Given the paucity of research on CRCI with other cancer populations, this review synthesizes the current literature with a deliberate focus on CRCI within the context of breast cancer. A hypothetical case‐study approach is used to illustrate how CRCI often presents clinically and how current science can inform practice. While the literature regarding intervention for CRCI is nascent, behavioral and pharmacologic approaches are discussed. CA Cancer J Clin 2015;65: 123–138. © 2014 American Cancer Society.
Le discours de la décadence dans le Bellum Catilinae de Salluste : éléments d’une mise en forme du récit
Authors: Sensal Catherine 
Published: December 2014

The discourse about decadence in Sallust’s Bellum Catilinae.
The discourse about decadence seems inscribed in the very composition of the first text of Sallust. Resting on the degeneration of ancient uirtutes, this discourse seems to emerge from a tragic composition of the text. In a historical context where Sulla’s influence is still noticeable and fortuna at work, there seems to have no possibility of catharsis for the Roman state as Sallust sees it.
Diodore et l’histoire de la Sicile républicaine
Authors: Pittia Sylvie 
Published: December 2014

Diodorus and the history of Republican Sicily.
Diodorus of Sicily draws Sicilian history during the Republican period in a very narrative way, focusing on military and diplomatic events. It is hard to assess how much the Byzantine anthologies which let us know these historical fragments have reduced the original Diodorean text. This one emphasizes geography and distinctive identity of the cities. It remains irreplaceable to understand some episodes concerning Pyrrhus, Hiero of Syracuse or the servile revolts of the IInd century.
Internet et les errances du multistakeholderism
Authors: Massit-Folléa Françoise 
Published: December 2014

Le débat sur la gouvernance de l’internet oppose à la conception multilatérale privilégiant le rôle des États et entités interétatiques, la voie d’un multistakeholderism qui entend réunir l’ensemble des acteurs concernés : États, entreprises, experts, académiques, groupes d’internautes, etc. C’est un débat sur la nature du pouvoir, qui traverse de multiples réunions et sommets internationaux. Mais la société civile demeure elle-même très segmentée, et l’on peut s’interroger sur la notion même de gouvernance globale d’un internet global.
La coopération sanitaire internationale abolie par Ebola ?
Authors: Houssin Didier 
Published: December 2014

Depuis 1976, 25 épidémies dues au virus Ebola ont été recensées. Celle de 2014 est la plus grave. Bien qu’elle ait rapidement acquis une dimension internationale, les États occidentaux ont sous-estimé ses effets. Ils ont été très lents à réagir et ont laissé trop longtemps les organisations non gouvernementales gérer seules la crise. Depuis le mois de septembre, ils ont enfin pris conscience de la nécessité de consacrer des moyens importants pour lutter contre cette épidémie exceptionnelle.
L'Inde de Narendra Modi

Published: December 2014

L’installation du BJP au pouvoir suite aux élections législatives de 2014 pose de multiples questions sur la gouvernance du pays. Comment le Premier ministre Narendra Modi accordera-t-il sa volonté centralisatrice et l’élargissement de la marge de manœuvre des États fédérés dans le domaine économique ? L’hindouisme militant de la nébuleuse nationaliste hindoue permettra-t-elle une coexistence des diverses communautés ? La politique économique du gouvernement BJP ne sera-t-elle que la continuation de choix précédents mâtinée d’une plus grande exigence d’efficacité ?
Terminator Ethics : faut-il interdire les « robots tueurs » ?
Authors: Jeangène Vilmer Jean-Baptiste 
Published: December 2014

Les systèmes d’armes létaux autonomes font débat, certaines ONG réclamant leur interdiction préventive. La notion d’autonomie est pourtant très complexe : il n’existe pas de système d’arme totalement soustrait à l’intervention humaine. En termes moraux et vis-à-vis du droit international humanitaire, ces systèmes posent des problèmes peu différents des autres armes utilisées par l’homme. Il semble donc préférable de les encadrer, plutôt que les interdire a priori.

CD8+ T Cells Control Ross River Virus Infection in Musculoskeletal Tissues of Infected Mice

Published: December 2014

Abstract
Ross River virus (RRV), chikungunya virus, and related alphaviruses cause debilitating polyarthralgia and myalgia. Mouse models of RRV and chikungunya virus have demonstrated a role for the adaptive immune response in the control of these infections. However, questions remain regarding the role for T cells in viral control, including the magnitude, location, and dynamics of CD8+ T cell responses. To address these questions, we generated a recombinant RRV expressing the H-2b–restricted glycoprotein 33 (gp33) determinant derived from the glycoprotein of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Using tetramers, we tracked gp33-specific CD8+ T cells during RRV-lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection. We found that acute RRV infection induces activation of CD8+ T cell responses in lymphoid and musculoskeletal tissues that peak from 10–14 d postinoculation, suggesting that CD8+ T cells contribute to control of acute RRV infection. Mice genetically deficient for CD8+ T cells or wild-type mice depleted of CD8+ T cells had elevated RRV loads in skeletal muscle tissue, but not joint-associated tissues, at 14 d postinoculation, suggesting that the ability of CD8+ T cells to control RRV infection is tissue dependent. Finally, adoptively transferred T cells were capable of reducing RRV loads in skeletal muscle tissue of Rag1−/− mice, indicating that T cells can contribute to the control of RRV infection in the absence of B cells and Ab. Collectively, these data demonstrate a role for T cells in the control of RRV infection and suggest that the antiviral capacity of T cells is controlled in a tissue-specific manner.
Identification of Aim2 as a Sensor for DNA Vaccines
Authors: Suschak John J. , Wang Shixia , Fitzgerald Katherine A. , Lu Shan 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
Recent human study data have re-established the value of DNA vaccines, especially in priming high-level Ag-specific Ab responses, but also raised questions about the mechanisms responsible for such effects. Whereas previous reports have shown involvement of downstream signaling molecules in the innate immune system, the current study investigated the role of absent in melanoma 2 (Aim2) as a sensor for DNA vaccines. The Aim2 inflammasome directs maturation of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 and an inflammatory form of cell death called pyroptosis. Both the humoral and cellular Ag-specific adaptive responses were significantly reduced in Aim2-deficient mice in an IL-1β/IL-18–independent manner after DNA vaccination. Surprisingly, Aim2-deficient mice also exhibited significantly lower levels of IFN-α/β at the site of injection. These results indicate a previously unreported link between DNA vaccine–induced pyroptotic cell death and vaccine immunogenicity that is instrumental in shaping the Ag-specific immune response to DNA vaccines.

Published: December 2014

The functionalist paradigm of organisational culture (OC) views culture as a variable subject to conscious manipulation and control in order to solve organisational challenges. Therefore, this paper provides information on how OC is a solution to the challenges in Quantity Surveying firms (QSFs). This was achieved by eliciting the dimensions of OC in forty two QSFs in Lagos, Nigeria, which are the business, people and external environment dimensions. The paper concludes that OC is a relevant solution to the identity and management related challenges in QSFs. Specifically, the paper informs on the implications of business and people dimensions of OC as a solution to the identity challenges, as well as on the implication of the external environment dimension of OC to the management challenges. Based on the findings, practical implications and recommendations were directed at the management and employees QSs in QSFs and Quantity Surveying researchers.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE CO2 LASER CUTTING OF NOVEL POLYAMIDE 6/FLUOROELASTOMER THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERIC BLENDS
Authors: Banerjee Shib Shankar , Bhowmick Anil K. 
Published: December 2014

ABSTRACT
The application of the low-power CO2 laser-cutting process to fluoroelastomer (FKM), polyamide 6 (PA6), PA6/FKM thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and their thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) is reported. The main laser process parameters studied were laser power, cutting speed, and material thickness. The value of the top and bottom widths of the slit that were formed during laser cutting (kerf width), melted transverse area, and melted volume per unit time were measured and analyzed. Interestingly, TPE showed a smaller melted area and melted volume per unit time when compared with those values with PA6. Dynamic vulcanization further decreased these values. For example, the melted areas of PA6 and TPE were 510 × 10−3 mm2 and 305 × 10−3 mm2, respectively, which reduced to 238 × 10−3 mm2 for TPV at 40 W laser power. FKM showed the lowest value (melted area of 180 × 10−3 mm2). In addition, the output quality of the cut surface was examined by measuring the root mean square (RMS) roughness of the cut edges and heat-affected zone (HAZ). The obtained results indicated that the dimension of the HAZ and RMS roughness largely decreased in TPE when compared with PA6. For example, the HAZ of PA6 was 700 μm, which decreased to 230 μm for TPE at 40 W laser power. On the other hand, HAZ was nonexistent for FKM. Infrared spectroscopic analysis showed that there was no structural change of TPE or pristine polymers after applying the low-power CO2 laser on the surface of materials. CO2 laser cutting will be a new technique in this industry, and this analysis will assist the manufacturing industry to choose a suitable laser system with exhaustive information of process parameters for cutting or machining of rubber, TPEs, and TPVs.
Relation between childhood experiences and adults' self-esteem: A sample from Baghdad
Authors: AlShawi Ameel F , Lafta Riyadh K 
Published: December 2014

Background: Adverse childhood experiences are associated with significant functional impairments and loss of life in adolescence and adulthood. Literature documents the conversion of traumatic emotional experiences in childhood into psychological disorders later in life. The family is one of the most critical risks and resilient factors for mental health in adolescence and emerging adulthood. Objective: To estimate the effect of childhood experiences on self-esteem during adulthood in a sample from Baghdad city. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Baghdad city during the period from January 2013 through to January 2014. Multistage sampling techniques were used to choose 13 primary healthcare centers and eight colleges from three universities in Baghdad. Childhood experiences were measured by applying a modified standardized Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) form. Results: A total of 1040 subjects were surveyed and 1000 responded giving a response rate of 96.2%. The results revealed that 82.7% of the participants were confident within themselves, 14.9% (149) reported to feel a failure, while 28.3% of subjects expressed feeling useless at times. The score for family bonding is expected to significantly increase the score for self-esteem by a mean of 21.48. University, diploma and higher education are expected to significantly decrease the self-esteem score by a mean of − 6.31 compared to those with less than secondary school education. Parents education show statistically insignificant association with the mean score for self-esteem. Conclusion: The findings of this study give an insight into the essential role of childhood experiences in building self-esteem and adaptation later in their life. National health programs are suggested for intervention targeting early adverse childhood experiences and their consequences.
