IntroductionA condylion–gonion–menton (Co–Go–Me) angle threshold of 125.5° has been introduced as a predictive parameter of cephalometric mandibular response in the orthopedic treatment of growing Class II patients with functional appliances, despite some contradictions in the literature. Considering the lack of studies evaluating the role of skeletal anchorage, this study aims to reassess the threshold of 125.5° in the Co–Go–Me angle as a useful predictor in growing skeletal Class II patients treated with acrylic splint Herbst appliance and two mini-screws in the lower arch (STM2).MethodsThirty-five consecutively treated patients (20 males, 15 females; mean age, 11.37 years) with mandibular retrusion were classified into two groups according to their Co–Go–Me baseline values (Group 1, &lt;125.5°; Group 2, &gt;125.5°). The STM2 protocol involved the use of the MTH Herbst appliance with an acrylic splint in the lower arch and two interradicular mini-screws as anchorage reinforcement. Cephalometric analysis was performed by the same operator for each patient at baseline (T0) and at the end of the Herbst phase (T1). The effects of time and group on the variables were assessed by a repeated-measures analysis of variance. The primary research outcome was the difference between the groups in terms of mandibular responsiveness to treatment referred to as the relative difference (T1−T0) in Co_Gn.ResultsThe mean duration of the treatment was 9.5 months. No statistically significant differences between groups were detected at baseline, except from the expected SN/GoMe° (p &lt; 0.001) and Co–Go mm (p = 0.028). No statistically significant changes between groups, which were caused by the treatment, were found considering the mandibular sagittal and vertical skeletal parameters. Similarly, no statistically significant differences were found in the dental changes between the high-angle and low-angle patients, apart from the upper molar sagittal position (p = 0.013).Discussion and conclusionsThe 125.5° threshold in the Co–Go–Me value was not a reliable predictive parameter for the mandibular response in growing patients treated with the MTH Herbst appliance and lower skeletal anchorage. Due to its effective control in the sagittal and vertical planes, the STM2 technique might be an appropriate protocol to use in treating skeletal Class II patients, regardless of the growth pattern.
Is there a beneficial effect of a high-protein diet on body composition and strength capacity in physical active middle-aged individuals?—An eight-week randomized controlled trial

Published: April 2024

IntroductionDemographic changes are resulting in a continual increase in the proportion of individuals over 65 years old. Simultaneously, muscle mass (MM) tends to decrease with age, with a decline noticeable from the middle of the fourth decade of life. While physical activity is considered a modulator for maintaining MM, the interaction with nutrient uptake, especially protein intake, is getting more into focus. Due to a lack of data on the effect of a high-protein diet on middle-aged individuals (40–65 years), this study aimed to investigate the influence of a high-protein diet in middle-aged physically active persons on body composition and performance.MethodsUsing stratified randomization, participants were allocated to either a high-protein group (&gt;2.3 g/kg FFM/day) (n = 12, age = 57.83 ± 7.74 years, height = 170.42 cm ± 11.04 cm, BMI = 30.26 ± 4.46, MM = 31.71 ± 6.89 kg) or a control group (&lt;2.3 g/kg/FFM/day) (n = 14, age = 58.21 ± 6.44 years, height = 170.57 cm ± 8.28 cm, BMI = 26.31 ± 5.59, MM = 29.67 ± 8.08 kg). Body composition [fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), MM] and strength were assessed at baseline (T0), after four weeks (T1) and after eight weeks (T2). Exercise habits were not changed over the entire period and dietary habits were recorded using FDDB Explorer. Statistical analysis was performed using the current version of R and linear mixed models.ResultsNo significant differences in energy intake were found between the groups (p = .974). In macronutrient distribution, a significantly higher consumption of protein was found in the high-protein group (p &lt; .0001, d = 2.22) [140 ± 70 g/day (HPG) vs. 79 ± 40 g/day (CG)]. A trivial reduction in FM over time in both groups (p = .046, d = 0.04, Δt=−.83±1.60kg) was observed. No significant differences were detected in FFM (p = .887) and MM (p = .711). Trivial interaction effects (time*group) were observed for upper (p = .007, d = 0.12, ΔHPG = 4.38 ± 3.25 kg) and lower body strength (p = .0507, d = 0.07, ΔHPG = 3.33 ± 2.36 kg).DiscussionOur results indicate no to only trivial effects of adding a high-protein diet to otherwise physically active middle-aged individuals. Trivial effects could be seen for an increase in muscle strength after this eight-week intervention. However, MM and FFM were not significantly affected. Based on the small effect sizes we observed in our results we do not see a benefit of a high-protein diet on body composition and strength capacity without altering the exercise habits.
Nurse Staffing, Work Hours, Mandatory Overtime, and Turnover in Acute Care Hospitals Affect Nurse Job Satisfaction, Intent to Leave, and Burnout: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Bae Sung-Heui 
Published: April 2024

Objectives: This study examined the impact of nurse staffing, working hours, mandatory overtime, and turnover on nurse outcomes in acute care hospitals. Previous studies have focused on the single characteristics of sub-optimal nurse staffing but have not considered them comprehensively.Methods: Data were collected in July–September 2022 using convenience sampling and an online survey (N = 397). For the analysis, 264 nurses working as staff nurses at 28 hospitals met the inclusion criteria. Univariate analysis and multivariable generalized estimating equation (GEE) were performed.Results: Both nurse staffing (β = −0.036, standard error [SE] = 0.011) and turnover (β = −0.006, SE = 0.003) were significant factors affecting job satisfaction. In the multivariable GEE, only mandatory overtime (β = 0.395, SE = 0.116) was significantly related to intent to leave. Nurse staffing, work hours, mandatory overtime, and turnover were not significantly related to burnout. Subjective health status and workload were significantly associated with burnout.Conclusion: Nurse staffing policies and improvement programs in hospitals should be implemented to improve nurses’ job satisfaction. Labor policy should ban mandatory overtime.

Energetics and electronic structure of Janus WSSe formation by continuous chalcogen substitutions
Authors: Gao Yanlin , Maruyama Mina , Okada Susumu 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
We investigated the energetics and the electronic structure of Janus WSSe when formed by continuous sulfurization and selenization of WSe2 and WS2, respectively, using density functional theory combined with the effective screening medium method. The total energy of WS2−x
Se
x
is sensitive to the stoichiometry. The total energy increases monotonically as the substitutional surface selenization of WS2 increases. The sulfurization of WSe2 causes complex energetics with respect to the number of S atoms involved. Competition between the energy cost of polarization and the energy gain through S–W bond formation produces the compound WS0.445Se1.445, which is a metastable structure that gives the local minimum in the energy landscape. The electronic structures of the partially substituted structures are interpolated smoothly from those of Janus WS2 and WSe2.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
We propose a scheme to phase lock a quantum-memory control laser, frequency-conversion pump laser, and two-photon source over three octaves in frequency to operate a quantum memory. The absolute frequencies of the laser sources are determined based on a Doppler-free iodine hyperfine transition. The achieved relative frequency instability and uncertainty were ≤1 × 10–12 and 3 × 10–11, respectively, which are below the requirement for operating a Pr:YSO quantum memory. This scheme simplifies the instrumentation of laser sources in a quantum repeater, and increases the reliability of quantum communication systems.

Published: April 2024

Digitalisasi dokumentasi-dokumen penelitian termasuk skripsi memudahkan para mahasiswa untuk mendapatkan sumber referensi sebagai bahan untuk melakukan penelitian atau pembuatan skripsi. Sumber referensi yang sangat banyak yang seharusnya menjadi bahan penelitian lebih lanjut kadangkala oleh sebagian mahasiwa yang malas hal ini bukan menjadi referensi akan tetapi sebagai bahan copy paste yang menyebabkan rusaknya tujuan dari skripsi yaitu mahasiswa bisa mengembangkan ilmu pengetahuan yang diperoleh selama proses perkuliahan. Praktek plagiarisme yang merugikan pihak lain dan sangat menuntungkan pihak lain harus di cegah, dibatasi bahkan bisa dihilangkan. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut pada penelitian ini di implementasikan algoritma cosine similarty untuk mencari kemiripan dokument skripsi pada perpustakaan prodi Teknik Informatika Universitas Muhammadiyah Maluku Utara. Dari implementasi sistem yang dilakukan Pengukuran kesamaan menggunakan metode Cosine Similarity, dengan membandingkan 30 judul skripsi lama dan 5 judul skripsi baru.

Becoming octopus: Indigenous ways of knowing and green leadership
Authors: Pointer Rebecca , Miller Darlene 
Published: April 2024

On 30 June 2014 we (a small group of academic women) opened our first Green Leadership School, an experiment in decolonising the classroom, exploring indigenous environmental knowledge, and creating a space of healing and love. This paper documents the process of healing and rejuvenating the lives of activists, government officials, trade unionists, and university students. Similar to the concept of Deleuze and Guattari’s (2004) “becoming animal” and “becoming wolf”, we represented the school as “becoming octopus” – a creature with green blood (becoming green), the highest brain-to-body ratio of any invertebrate, many slithering arms to twist and escape oppression and slide away from toxic spaces, and three hearts for the three-hearted practices of love, bodily integration, and mind-spirit awareness. Therefore, the pedagogical experiment focused on transmutation – connecting with the environment through merging human with animal, ritual and magic, gardening, yoga, storytelling, music, and art alongside more conventional lectures such as understanding climate change through South African vernaculars, ‘land grabs’ in Africa, pollution in South Durban, and environmental communication. Damaged by apartheid and post-apartheid wounds and worldwide ruptures in the socius – the participants experienced psychic healing. This paper discusses the role of joyful pedagogies in decolonising education.
Towards Digital Forensic Readiness: A Framework for Financial Service Providers
Authors: Odhiambo Georgina , Omollo Richard , Abuonji Paul 
Published: April 2024

Digital Forensic Readiness has widely been referred to as an organization’s ability to proactively capture digital evidence and as a result, incur minimum costs of investigation in the event of incidents. However, several organizations still underestimate the usefulness of setting up their environments to be forensically ready until an incident occurs, and this often results in huge losses and costly investigations. Global trends show that financial institutions are amongst the worst-hit companies by cybercriminals, and this is attributed to one of the key motivations for cybercrime, which is financial gain. Kenya’s cybercrime statistics over the past five years also show that financial services remain amongst the top hit sectors by cybercriminals. The aim of this study was to develop a Digital Forensic Readiness framework for Financial Services Providers. To achieve this, the study assessed the relevant existing frameworks to explore their strengths and gaps. Additionally, the study explored the current state of forensic readiness in Kenyan financial institutions by reviewing secondary data and analysing primary data collected from respondents in the financial services sector. The study adopted a descriptive research design with the main data collection tool being questionnaires, which were administered to respondents through an online survey. The collected data was analysed using the SPSS software 28.0.1 and a multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the influence of organizational factors, legal factors, technology, and policies on Digital Forensic Readiness. The outcome of the analysis indicated that these factors indeed had a significant effect on forensic readiness, with organizational factors and policies having more impact on the framework. The study recommended that organizations not only focus on complying with laws and implementing technological controls, but also prioritize improving forensic readiness awareness and culture, supporting forensic readiness activities, setting up training, and enforcing policies to ensure personnel compliance
Chronic diarrhea secondary to intestinal spirochetosis, should we think about it?
Authors: Calvo Bernal MM , Rodriguez Mateu A , Gil Belmonte MJ 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Human intestinal spirochetosis (HIS) is defined as a colonization of the apical membrane of the colonic mucosa and the appendix by spirochetes. It is a very rare finding, being more common in some populations (individuals living in villages and peri-urban environments in developing countries, recent immigrants from developing countries, men who have sex with other men and HIV positive patients), but the spirochete rarely is investigated as human enteric potential microorganism.

It is a slow-growing microorganism and has specialized growth requirements, which is why it is not detectable in human fecal samples using routine diagnostic methods. However, it has been histologically identified attached to the colon and rectum in patients with conditions such as chronic diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and/or nonspecific abdominal discomfort.

In this article we present the case of a patient with chronic diarrhea secondary to intestinal spirochetosis, highlighting the importance of considering this etiology in the differential diagnosis.

Suicide is a leading cause of mortality among young people in many countries, making it a serious global public health problem. It is estimated that around 20% of global suicides are due to pesticide poisoning. This study was conducted with an objective to find out the commonest suicidal poison and its demographic distribution. This study was designed on victims of suicidal poisoning brought for medicolegal autopsy at Silchar Medical College and Hospital, Silchar, Assam between 15th October 2017 and 14th October 2022. Required information for the study was gathered from inquest reports, autopsy reports, chemical examiner’s analysis report of viscera and available documents in the departmental records. The collected information was statistically analysed using Microsoft excel version 2019. Out of 64 cases, poison was detected in 33 Cases. Male victims surpassed females with highest number of victims from age group 21-30 years. Most common poisoning agent was organophosphorus compounds. Educational and awareness programs regarding usage and storage of pesticides can become an important step for the prevention of deaths due to poisoning. However more research is needed to better understand suicides involving pesticides in their cultural contexts
