Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Aim:
We aimed to study the response of pulp tissue to Biodentine, enamel matrix derivative (Emdogain), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as direct pulp-capping (DPC) agents.

Materials and Methods:
This study was performed on 78 maxillary/mandibular permanent teeth indicated for surgical extraction (periodontal/orthodontic). Exposure of 1.2 mm in diameter was made. Hemostasis was achieved. The tooth was randomly allocated to one of the three groups. In Group 1, pulp capping was done with Biodentine. In Group 2, Emdogain was used. In Group 3 (control), pulp capping was carried out with MTA. Final restoration was done with glass-ionomer cement. Teeth were extracted atraumatically after 6 weeks. Histologic examination was done and samples were evaluated. Differences in inflammatory response in the three groups were statistically evaluated using Chi-square test.

Results:
Grade 1 inflammatory response was observed in 57.7% of cases treated with Biodentine, 36% with Emdogain, and 65.4% with MTA. The difference was however not statistically significant (P = 0.427). Majority of cases in the MTA group (57.7%) showed presence of calcific bridge directly adjacent to the medicament interface as compared to Biodentine (46.1%) and Emdogain (0%), and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The difference in formation of calcific bridge with MTA and Biodentine was not statistically significant (0.694).

Conclusions:
Within the limitations of this histological study, it can be concluded that MTA and Biodentine are well tolerated as DPC agents by pulp tissue as compared to Emdogain.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
During the perimenopausal phase, women experience a myriad of somatic symptoms as well as changes in mood and emotions which could be related to the endocrine changes and psychological factors during this transition.

Aim:
The aim was to assess the prevalence of somatic symptoms and psychiatric morbidity in perimenopausal women.

Material and Methods:
By purposive sampling, 100 women in the age group of 45–55 years were included in the study with their consent. They were assessed with a self-made sociodemographic proforma, Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), depression, anxiety, stress scale (DASS 21), Menopause Rating Scale, big five inventory scale (BFI-10), and social support scale.

Results:
Psychiatric morbidity was seen in 41% of perimenopausal women, out of which 32% showed somatic symptoms. Seventeen percent had mild-to-moderate depressive features, 17% showed mild-to-moderate anxiety, and 7% were dysthymic.

Conclusion:
Prevalent life stressors seemed to affect the transition into menopause for many women which directly corresponded to the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity and somatic symptoms in them.

ABSTRACT.
India is a major contributor to the global burden of malaria, especially Plasmodium vivax infection. Understanding the spatiotemporal trends of malaria across India over the last two decades may assist in targeted intervention. The population-normalized spatiotemporal trends of malaria epidemiology in India from 2007 to 2022 were analyzed using a geographic information system with the publicly available “malaria situation” report of the National Vector Borne Disease Control Program (NVBDCP). The NVBDCP data showed malaria cases to have steeply declined from 1.17 million in 2015 to 0.18 million cases in 2022; this is 10.1 and 18.7 fold lower than the WHO’s estimate of 11.93 million and 3.38 million cases in 2015 and 2022, respectively. From 2007 to 2022, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Tripura, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand consistently reported high caseloads of Plasmodium falciparum. In the same period, the P. vivax caseload was high in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The distribution of forest cover, annual rainfall, and proportion of the Scheduled Tribe population (the most underprivileged in Indian society) spatially correlated with malaria cases and deaths. Mizoram is the only state where cases were higher in 2022 than in 2007. Overall, India has made tremendous progress in controlling malaria and malaria-related deaths in the last decade. The decline could be attributed to the effective vector and parasite control strategies implemented across the country.

Published: May 2024

Эндометриоз представляет собой гинекологическое заболевание, которое наблюдается у 176 млн женщин во всем мире. Как правило, эндометриоз поражает женщин репродуктивного возраста, при этом имеет достаточно общих характеристик с инвазивным раком и связан, в частности, с развитием эпителиального рака яичников. В настоящее время причины развития этих состояний не установлены. Предположительно, важную роль в развитии эндометриоза и эндометриоз-ассоциированного рака яичников играет эпигенетическая регуляция. В данном обзоре основное внимание уделяется эпигенетическим изменениям (а именно микроРНК и днРНК), которые происходят при каждом из этих заболеваний и определяют сходство между ними.
Endometriosis is a gynecological disease that affects 176 million women worldwide. As a rule, endometriosis affects women of the reproductive period, while it has quite common characteristics with invasive cancer and is associated, in particular, with the development of epithelial ovarian cancer. To date, no reliable causes for the development of these two conditions have been identified, and therefore it has been suggested that epigenetic regulation plays an important role in the development of endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. This review focuses on the epigenetic changes (namely miRNAs and lncRNAs) that occur in each individual disease and that share similarities between them.

This study conducts a thorough evaluation of the management processes involved in the 2023 Ngada Regency High School Student League football tournaments hosted at STKIP Citra Bakti. It investigates several critical aspects of football league management, including team management, planning, organization, execution, and evaluation of match outcomes. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive methodology, data was gathered through detailed observations and structured interviews with key participants. The analysis focused on the interplay between antecedents (pre-event preparations), transactions (event execution), and outcomes (post-event evaluation), providing a comprehensive view of management effectiveness. Findings reveal that meticulous pre-event planning and robust organization strategies led to efficient game execution and positive evaluations. Notably, the study identified that proactive conflict resolution during planning phases and adaptive management during games were pivotal in enhancing the event's success. The implications of these findings extend beyond the immediate context, contributing to the broader field of sports management. They underscore the importance of strategic planning and dynamic management in organizing successful student sports events. This research adds to the existing knowledge by demonstrating how integrated management practices can optimize event outcomes and student engagement in sports, suggesting a model that can be replicated in similar contexts globally.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0787/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ESPORTS: PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Kanellopoulos Athanasios , Giossos Yiannis 
Published: May 2024

<p>Esports are increasingly popular and are becoming more similar to conventional sports. This is due to the social interaction and community-building aspects, as well as the sporting elements embedded in the virtual environments of the video games they include. Esports are a topic of interest for the interdisciplinary field of Philosophy of Sport, which examines the various dimensions of sport in relation to human values. The aim of this paper is to illuminate the existing philosophical debate on the relationship between esports and the Philosophy of Sport. The paper is a philosophical work that aims to highlight the arguments of sports philosophers on esports over the last twenty years. The argument of this paper is that the focus of philosophical interest is not located in matters of ethics but also not in the human being itself. The majority of philosophical papers on esports focus on whether they can be considered real sports or Olympic sports. Other topics include their definition or institutionalisation, physicality, skill requirements, cheating, and corruption. Rules and the identity of esports players are also of concern to philosophers in the field of Philosophy of Sport. This research is significant due to its relevance and timeliness in the field of esports, as well as its contribution to philosophical discussions surrounding the topic. By advancing both philosophical and empirical research and providing ample material for reflection and debate, the paper is a valuable resource for researchers interested in studying and reflecting on esports.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0777/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Study on Nowcasting Method of Severe Convective Weather Based on SA-PredRNN++
Authors: Xue Qiongying , Fang Fei 
Published: May 2024

Severe convective weather, characterized by short-term intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and strong winds, poses significant threats to human life and property. Therefore, accurate and efficient prediction of severe convective weather is crucial for disaster prevention. Currently, utilizing deep learning for radar echo extrapolation stands as the primary method for forecasting severe convective weather. We propose a predictive recurrent neural network model that integrates a self-attention mechanism, specifically designed for radar echo extrapolation in severe convective weather forecasting. The self-attention mechanism offers the advantage of being lightweight, as it does not substantially increase the model parameters. Additionally, it facilitates global attention extraction, thereby enhancing the model's accuracy to some extent. By utilizing radar echo images from the previous hour as input, the model undergoes self-learning to achieve the best forecast for radar echo extrapolation in the subsequent two hours. Research findings demonstrate that our model outperforms other models in accurately predicting severe convective weather within this two-hour timeframe.

Monetary policy transmission tools and private sector performance – the Nigerian experience
Authors: Owen Affor Maku  , Gabriel Osakwe Ikediashi  
Published: May 2024

Credit to private sector is considered vital for the stimulation of domestic investment, job creation, economic growth, and general improvement in the standard of living of the people. This is because the economic activity in the private sector significantly complements governments’ efforts in attaining macroeconomic objectives, globally. However, as laudable as the benefits of credit to private sector has been in catalyzing private sector performance in developed economies, the situation in most transitioning economies, particularly, Nigeria has been far from satisfying. Several studies in academic literature have identified political instability, poor institutional framework, absence of fiscal transparency, macroeconomic factors and frequent policy changes as having significant constraining influences on credit availability in Nigeria with plausible recommendations to private sector performance. However, the absence of noticeable improvement over the years, and its accompanying growth-retarding multiplier effects on domestic investment and productivity in Nigeria has instigated more concentrated studies on the direct impact of monetary policy framework in the determination of the performance of private sector through credit availability. Therefore, this study empirically evaluates the impact of key monetary policy toolkits on the availability of private sector credits and performance in Nigeria. To this end, annual time series secondary data from 1993 to 2023 were sourced from National Bureau of Statistics and Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletins for various years within the study period. The study adopts Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) estimation technique after carrying out pre-diagnostic tests such as ADF unit root test and Bound Cointegration test. Our result reveals that money aggregates (MAG) is positive and significant in explaining variations in private sector credit and performance. Further results reveal that monetary policy rate (MPR), open market operations (OMO) and inflation rate (INR) impacted negatively on the performance of private sector in Nigeria within the study period. Therefore, the study concludes that the performance of the private sector in Nigeria will improve with increased credit availability, which is positively influenced by systematic increase in money aggregates and efficiently expanded monetary policy framework. The study recommends adoption of a harmonious blend of a more relaxed monetary policy framework with purposeful compliant-based regulation that will free up liquidity for increased private sector credits and performance.
