Abstract

Aim:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of cultivated odontoblast to form dentin-like tissue using fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF).

Materials and Methods:
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were extracted from 10 human teeth. They were isolated and cultivated in vitro with the use of stem cell markers. The human DPSCs were characterized for trilineage differentiation. They were then differentiated into odontoblasts. The ability of cultivated odontoblasts to form dentin-like tissue was evaluated using FGF and IGF.

Results:
IGF showed superior ability to form dentin-like tissue as compared to FGF. The addition of FGF showed no significant difference in the formation of dentin-like tissue. A combination of FGF and IGF in odontoblast showed an enhanced ability to form dentin-like tissue.

Conclusion:
The use of growth factors IGF and FGF with dental stem cells showed a greater potential to form dentin-like tissue. This can profoundly alter the paradigms of conservative vital pulp therapy, which may eventually make it possible to treat dental diseases by regeneration of lost dentine.
Influence of periapical lesion volume on the radiodensity of surrounding bone: A CBCT study
Authors: Boubaris Matthew , Cameron Andrew B , Love Robert , George Roy 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Aim:
This study assesses if the size of periapical lesions has an effect on the bone immediately peripheral to an apical lesion.

Methods:
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 271 periapical lesions were analyzed using Mimics Research™ to determine the CBCT periapical lesion volume index (CBCTPAVI) score, along with the radiodensity of the lesion, lesion border, and surrounding bone in 0.5 mm increments up to 2.0 mm peripheral to the apical lesion. The one-way analysis of variance was used to assess for significant differences in the radiodensity of the lesion, border, and peripheral bone, as well as differences among CBCTPAVI scores.

Results:
The radiodensity of bone peripheral to the apical lesion increased significantly up to 1.0 mm around the lesion’s perimeter. In addition, lesions with higher CBCTPAVI scores showed a significantly greater difference in the radiodensity from the lesion to the lesion border and the peripheral bone, compared to lesions with smaller CBCTPAVI scores.

Conclusions:
This study for the first time shows the influence of periapical lesion size on the radiodensity of bone peripheral to an apical lesion. Variations in radiodensity at the perimeter of a periapical lesion can be influenced by the size of the lesion, possibly indicating differences in defense response. Knowledge of these phenomena may provide information on bone healing and enhance our understanding of bone peripheral to a periapical lesion.
Visual information and the development/control of myopia: Insights from nonhuman primate experiences
Authors: Hung Li-Fang 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Over the past few decades, primarily by animal studies, correspondingly reinforced by epidemiological, clinical studies and controlled trials, researchers have identified that visual feedback regulates eye refractive developments, with visual image alterations being the most influential myopiagenic environmental factor. This article reviews studies using nonhuman primates to investigate visual risk factors for myopia development and evaluates and summarizes which visual factors contribute to the occurrence and progression of myopia. The possible underlying myopiagenic mechanisms and related myopia prevention/control strategies are also discussed.
Economic Expertise and Large Infrastructures Projects: The 2019 Cost Benefit Analysis of the Lyon Turin Project
Authors: Massiani Jérôme 
Published: June 2024

This paper reviews the contribution of experts to the appraisal of large infrastructures, looking at the evaluation performed in 2019 in Italy by the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transports on the Lyon-Turin railway project. This evaluation had been initiated in a particular context, linked to a visible policy agenda and while the construction of the tunnel had already begun. The appraisal has produced surprising results, mostly counterintuitive and heavily criticized. We analyse these results and show how they can be valid, in that they would not result from inconsistency in the method but from the peculiar features of the project (low initial demand, high mode transfer compared with initial traffic, high road tax and toll levels). We also check the validity of some paradoxical results of the assessment. Moreover, the public debate has been made more difficult due to an inconsistency in EU evaluation Guidelines. Also, we analyse mechanisms that affect the credibility of experts and we find that the influence of experts in the public debate has little to see with the inherent consistency of the methods used.
Cet article examine la contribution des experts à l’évaluation économique des grands projets à la lumière de l’évaluation du Lyon-Turin réalisée en Italie en 2019. Cette évaluation est née dans un contexte particulier caractérisé par une commande politique manifeste et pour un chantier entamé. L’évaluation, globalement négative, a produit des résultats inattendus, contre-intuitifs et fortement critiqués. Nous analysons ces résultats et mettons en évidence qu’ils apparaissent valides et dépendent des caractéristiques extrêmement particulières du projet : faible trafic initial, forte hypothèse de report modal, fiscalité et péages routiers élevés. Nous expliquons aussi certains résultats paradoxaux de l’analyse. En outre, le débat technique a été rendu particulièrement difficile en raison d’une incohérence dans les modalités de calcul préconisées par le Guide méthodologique de l’Union Européenne. Nous analysons ensuite les mécanismes de légitimation et de délégitimation de l’expertise économique à l’œuvre dans cet épisode. Une conclusion est que ce n’est pas la qualité du calcul économique qui en détermine l’acceptation et l’influence dans le débat public.

The role of sustainable development in shaping the competitiveness of enterprises
Authors: Арсеньев С.Н. 
Published: June 2024

Целью статьи является оценка взаимосвязи между теоретическими предпосылками идеи устойчивого развития и социальной ответственности бизнеса и предприятия, а также выявление преимуществ и барьеров, связанных с реализацией теории в деловой практике, вытекающих из принятой стратегии конкурентоспособности предприятия. Концепция устойчивого развития, формирующая идею устойчивости управления как в макроэкономическом масштабе, так и в развитии предприятия, является следствием динамичного экономического развития. Предприятие должно устойчиво работать по всей цепочке зависимостей, формируя правильные отношения с поставщиками и собственным человеческим капиталом, который на самом деле создает наиболее сложную для имитации добавленную стоимость. Рост значимости нематериальных факторов в процессе создания устойчивого конкурентного преимущества и социальный характер его построения указывает на новое место концепции социально ответственного предприятия.
The purpose of the article is to assess the relationship between the theoretical prerequisites of the idea of sustainable development and social responsibility of business and enterprise, as well as to identify the advantages and barriers associated with the implementation of the theory in business practice, arising from the adopted strategy of competitiveness of the enterprise. The concept of sustainable development, which forms the idea of sustainable management both on a macroeconomic scale and in the development of an enterprise, is a consequence of the uncontrolled consequences of dynamic economic development. Environmental degradation occurred as a result of the cumulative effects of economic activity, guided by the criterion of short-term profit maximization, while not caring about the correct course of environmental functions. The company must work steadily along the entire chain of dependencies, forming the right relationships with suppliers and its own human capital, which in fact creates the most difficult value added to simulate. The growing importance of intangible factors in the process of creating a sustainable competitive advantage and the social nature of its construction indicates a new place for the concept of a socially responsible enterprise.

Published: June 2024

В статье рассматриваются актуальные вопросы государственной поддержки агропромышленного комплекса страны в условиях сложной макроэкономической ситуации, обусловленной ограничительными мерами антироссийских санкций, введенных «недружественными» странами. Российский АПК даже в условиях санкций опередил прошлогодние показатели по производству продукции. В этом заслуга не только самих отечественных сельхозпроизводителей, которые быстро адаптировались к работе в новых условиях, но и государства, оказывающего им масштабную и всестороннюю поддержку. Отрасль сельского хозяйства является одной из крупнейших в российской экономике. Делается вывод, что в условиях санкционного давления западных стран агропромышленный комплекс России смог адаптироваться и перестроиться к работе в новых условиях.
The article discusses current issues of state support for the country’s agro-industrial complex in the context of a difficult macroeconomic situation caused by restrictive measures of anti-Russian sanctions imposed by «unfriendly» countries. The Russian agro-industrial complex, even under sanctions, has outpaced last year’s production figures. This is due not only to the domestic agricultural producers themselves, who quickly adapted to working in new conditions, but also to the state, which provides them with large-scale and comprehensive support. The agricultural sector is one of the largest in the Russian economy. Under the conditions of sanctions pressure from Western countries, the Russian agro-industrial complex was able to quickly adapt and rebuild to work in new conditions.
