Aim and objectives: A crucial component of managing a kid dentistry patient's behavior is pain control. For mandibular teeth, the most used local anesthetic method is inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). So, an effective IANB anesthetic requires knowledge of the mandibular foramen's location. Using digital panoramic radiography pictures, the mandibular foramen's position in relation to the occlusal plane and the deepest point of the anterior border of the ramus was assessed in a sample of Yemeni children aged 4 to 12.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study consisted of 501 orthodontic charts that were analyzed and divided into three groups: Group 1: 4-6 years, Group 2: 7-9 years and Group 3: 10-12 years. The OPGS were traced directly on radiographic films and measurements were taken from the mandibular foramen to the occlusal level and to the deepest point of the anterior border of the ramus, respectively, on the right and left sides of the mandible. Data were analyzed and the mean and SD were determined and compared for different gender, age groups and side (right/left).
Results: Male participants showed slightly higher mean distance values for MF-AB-Right compared to females (16.276±2.03 mm VS 15.952±1.82), but the contrast was not statistically significant. The study found significant differences in the mean MF distances of ABR between the 10-12 year age group and the 4-6 year age group (16.518±1.86 mm VS 15.487±1.95 mm), (p=0.0001). The mean OP-MF distances for the 10-12 year age group were also significant, with significant differences observed in the right side and left side.
Conclusion: The results were similar for the total children, regardless of gender. The study suggests that the mandibular foramina position may vary among different age groups. For inferior alveolar nerve block, the needle should be inserted slightly below the OP in 4-6 years old girls and at the same level of OP in 7-9 years old girls, and 4-6 years old boys.

O presente estudo objetiva analisar as ações realizadas pelo Programa Saúde na Escola no Ceará no período de 2019 a 2022. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de análise quantitativa, através de base de dados secundária de acesso público, denominado como Sistema de Informação em Saúde para a Atenção Básica (SISAB), na aba Saúde/Atividade Coletiva. Com isso, foram analisadas as atividades realizadas pelo PSE na saúde e na educação, os tipos de atividades desenvolvidas, os temas para saúde que foram trabalhados pelo programa e as ações de prevenção à Covid-19 realizadas nas escolas. Os principais resultados que emergiram foram à baixa evidencia cientifica sobre o PSE tendo em vista o impacto que a educação em saúde tem para a promoção a saúde. Percebeu-se que durante o período da pandemia de covid-19 houve uma baixa nas ações e com o advento das vacinas, as intervenções retornaram com a utilização de estratégias como: reuniões online, criação de material lúdico, fortalecimento das redes sociais e engajamento de pais e outros familiares que por estarem em casa acabavam se envolvendo nas ações. Diante disso, apesar das barreiras impostas pelo Covid-19, o PSE articulou novas maneiras de trabalhar suas ações, evidenciando que as tecnologias digitais podem e devem ser usadas como meio para educação em saúde.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association between irregular sleep duration and incident diabetes in a U.K. population over 7 years of follow-up.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Among 84,421 UK Biobank participants (mean age 62 years) who were free of diabetes at the time of providing accelerometer data in 2013–2015 and prospectively followed until May 2022, sleep duration variability was quantified by the within-person SD of 7-night accelerometer-measured sleep duration. We used Cox proportional hazard models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for incident diabetes (identified from medical records, death register, and/or self-reported diagnosis) according to categories of sleep duration SD.

RESULTS
There were 2,058 incident diabetes cases over 622,080 person-years of follow-up. Compared with sleep duration SD ≤ 30 min, the HR (95% CI) was 1.15 (0.99, 1.33) for 31–45 min, 1.28 (1.10, 1.48) for 46–60 min, 1.54 (1.32, 1.80) for 61–90 min, and 1.59 (1.33, 1.90) for ≥91 min, after adjusting for age, sex, and race. We found a nonlinear relationship (P nonlinearity 0.0002), with individuals with a sleep duration SD of &gt;60 vs. ≤60 min having 34% higher diabetes risk (95% CI 1.22, 1.47). Further adjustment for lifestyle, comorbidities, environmental factors, and adiposity attenuated the association (HR comparing sleep duration SD of &gt;60 vs. ≤60 min: 1.11; 95% CI 1.01, 1.22). The association was stronger among individuals with lower diabetes polygenic risk score (PRS; P interaction ≤ 0.0264) and longer sleep duration (P interaction ≤ 0.0009).

CONCLUSIONS
Irregular sleep duration was associated with higher diabetes risk, particularly in individuals with a lower diabetes PRS and longer sleep duration.
High revision rate of metal-backed glenoid component and impact on the overall revision rate of stemless total shoulder arthroplasty: a cohort study from the Danish Shoulder Arthroplasty Registry
Authors: Nyring Marc R K , Olsen Bo S , Jensen Steen L , Rasmussen Jeppe V 
Published: July 2024

Background and purpose: There is controversy regarding the results of stemmed and stemless total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) used for osteoarthritis. Therefore, we aimed to compare revision rates of stemmed and stemless TSA and to examine the impact of metal-backed glenoid components.Methods: We included all patients reported to the Danish Shoulder Arthroplasty Register from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2022 with an anatomical TSA used for osteoarthritis. Primary outcome was revision (removal or exchange of components) for any reason.Results: 3,338 arthroplasties were included. The hazard ratio for revision of stemless TSA adjusted for age and sex was 1.83 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21–2.78) with stemmed TSA as reference. When excluding all arthroplasties with a metal-backed glenoid component, the adjusted hazard ratio for revision of stemless TSA was 1.37 (CI 0.85–2.20). For the Eclipse stemless TSA system, the adjusted hazard ratio for revision of a metal-backed glenoid component was 8.75 (CI 2.40–31.9) with stemless Eclipse with an all-polyethylene glenoid component as reference.Conclusion: We showed that the risk of revision of stemless TSAs was increased and that it was related to their combination with metal-backed glenoid components.

A partir de los resultados obtenidos a la fecha de la evaluación del desempeño del sistema de paneles solares, se determina que el objetivo para el cual se instaló el sistema solar fotovoltaico no se ha cumplido, puesto que no se ha logrado la reducción del 40 % del cobro mensual en la factura del servicio de energía.
Can I trust my AI friend? The role of emotions, feelings of friendship and trust for consumers' information-sharing behavior toward AI
Authors: Pelau Corina , Dabija Dan-Cristian , Stanescu Mihaela 
Published: July 2024

Research background: AI devices and robots play an increasingly important role in consumers’ everyday life, by accompanying the consumer all day long. This presence has several utilitarian and social benefits, but at the same time the optimal functioning of AI requires personal information from the consumer.
Purpose of the article: Starting from the premise that people share more information with friends, we have tested empirically whether an emotional behavior of AI can evoke the same emotions in the relationship between consumers and their AI devices, leading to a higher self-disclosing behavior.
Methods: To validate the proposed hypotheses, three mediation models were tested using structural equation modelling in Smart-PLS 3.3.3, based on data collected with the help of an online survey.
Findings & value added: We prove empirically that AI’s emotional behavior can increase consumers’ trust, it can evoke feelings of friendship and it can determine a higher perceived control over the shared private information, thus leading to lower perceived threats regarding the consumers’ vulnerability and exposure related to sharing of private data. These results have important implications for designing consumer-AI interactions.

Published: July 2024

Research background: Bank credit access plays a determining role in enterprises’ financial growth, competitiveness, and internationalization. However, most entrepreneurs are afraid of being rejected from their credit applications due to financial disadvantages that reduce their probability of receiving credits. To minimize credit access concerns, their entrepreneurial behaviors that are included in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), such as personal attitude (PA), perceived behavioral control (PBC), and subjective norm (SN), might be a good solution. However, depending on cultural differences, their attitudes regarding these factors might change, which also causes changes in firms’ probability of receiving credit.
Purpose of the article: This research aims to examine whether the impact of PA, PBC, and SN on credit access of enterprises differ depending on the countries where they do their business.
Methods: The researchers investigate 1367 enterprises from different countries. These firms are selected using a purposive sampling method, and then an online questionnaire is sent to the survey respondents. Binary Logistic Regression analyses are performed for analysis purposes.
Findings & value added: The results indicate that while the impact of PA on bank credit access does not differ depending on the countries where firms are located, international differences exist in the impacts of PBC and SN on the credit access of enterprises. This paper finds international differences in the impact of RBV’s intangible assets (PA, PBC, SN) on a tangible asset of RBV (financial capability) and explains these results with the factors (economic, political, legal systems) included in Institution-based View, and brings all components of both theories RBV and Institution-based View in a unique research. Financial and educational support from governments and universities for fresh graduate individuals can stimulate entrepreneurial attitudes and financing abilities of prospective entrepreneurs to overcome credit access obstacles.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to survey the perception and attitude of Australian orthodontists toward accelerated orthodontic treatments.

Methods
An online questionnaire was distributed to 427 members of the Australian Society of Orthodontists. The questions related to: clinic demographics, familiarity with appliances/procedures to accelerate orthodontic treatment, the use of appliances/procedures to accelerate orthodontic treatment, and satisfaction with the outcomes when employing these appliances/procedures.

Results
The response rate was 42.38%. Of the respondents, 26.6% used customised fixed appliances which provided satisfactory outcomes. A small proportion of the respondents routinely used adjunctive procedures to accelerate treatment: 3.5% (n=6) corticotomies, 1.2% (n=2) piezocision, and 1.2% (n=2) intraoral vibrating devices.

Conclusion
Although a significant number of Australian orthodontists use customised fixed appliances to improve the efficiency of orthodontic treatment, the use of adjunctive procedures to accelerate tooth movement remains very low. Further research is needed to understand the possible limitations and restrictions surrounding this area of practice.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The application of the Partition of Unity Method (PUM) to signal approximation on graphs represents a recent advancement of this versatile and efficient interpolation technique. Given the novelty of this approach, little is yet known regarding the role of kernel parameters employed in constructing the associated Graph Basis Functions (GBFs). In order to shed light on this aspect, this study proposes several numerical tests obtained using GBFs generated by heat kernels and variational spline kernels.
Adopting SBM-Max and Super SBM-Max to Evaluate the Efficiency of Freight Transportation Arrangement Providers: A Study in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Thi Kim Lien , Luyen Le Anh 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of all businesses operating in the Freight Transportation Arrangement (FTA) service provider companies in Vietnam in the years 2016–2022 using the Slacks-Based Measure SBM-Max (SM) and super SBM-Max (SSM) models. The analysis was conducted by calculating the ratio between outputs and inputs in the FTA providers’ operational processes. The projection of the SSM model (Pro) and the Rh indicator were used to propose solutions for the inefficient providers by reducing the excessive inputs and increasing the outputs. The empirical results determined the inefficiency term, efficiency term, and rank for each provider every time. Dinh Vu port was identified as the best FTA provider in Vietnam, ranking first or second throughout the term due to its considerable efforts to perform efficiently. It shall be noted that the use of these models can help FTA providers in Vietnam to identify their strengths and weaknesses in terms of operational efficiency. By implementing the proposed solutions, businesses can improve their performance and ultimately increase their competitive advantage in the market. Further research could explore the effectiveness of these models in other industries or countries to provide deeper insights into their potential applications.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
This research employed machine learning approaches to classify acceptable or non-acceptable particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations using a dataset that was obtained from the Nairobi expressway road corridor. The dataset contained air quality data, traffic volume, and meteorological data. The Boruta Algorithm (BA) was utilized in conjunction with the Random Forests (RF) classifier to select the most appropriate features from the dataset. The findings of the BA analysis indicated that humidity was the most influential factor in determining air quality. This was closely followed by the variables of ‘day_of_week’ and the volume of traffic bound for Nairobi. The temperature of the site was determined to have a lower significance. The comparison among different machine learning classifiers for the classification of acceptable and unacceptable PM2.5 concentrations revealed that the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) classifier displayed superior performance in terms of Sensitivity (0.774), Specificity (0.943), F1-Score (0.833), and AU-ROC (0.874). The Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) model demonstrated comparatively poorer performance in terms of Sensitivity (0.244), Specificity (0.614), F1-Score (0.455), and AU-ROC (0.508) when compared to other ML models. The prediction of PM2.5 has the potential to provide valuable insights to transport policymakers in their deliberations on urban transport policy formulation.
Super-Twisting MRAS Observer-Based Non-linear Direct Flux and Torque Control for Induction Motor Drives

Published: July 2024

Abstract
This research paper proposes a novel design of an efficient combined sliding mode observer (SMO) for induction motor flux and speed estimation. The suggested sensorless technique employs the sliding mode’s second-order approach using a model reference adaptive system (MRAS). The second-order super-twisting control method is free-chattering, which lowers the chattering effect while preserving the same good features as the first-order sliding mode control (SMC). In addition, the conjunction with the MRAS as a separated speed estimator can raise the accuracy and make the observer immune to speed fluctuations, particularly for low-speed applications. Furthermore, in order to achieve effective decoupled flux–torque control, the super-twisting algorithm (STA) was combined with a non-linear feedback linearisation controller for the inner control loop construction. This strategy can boost the control system’s stability and robustness against external disturbances and modelling uncertainty. The performance analysis of the suggested methods has been carried out via simulation and experimental validation utilizing MATLAB/Simulink with the dSpace 1104 real-time interface.
