Authors: Gupta Rakesh , Aghi Mira B. , Gupta Arpit , Bhatt Garima , Goel Sonu 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background:
Globally, India is recognized for providing comprehensive coverage of tobacco cessation through the infrastructure and resources over the last two decades. Nevertheless, its current tobacco burden is worrying due to an increase in ~2 million initiators and 5.87% tobacco related deaths annually.

Objective:
It was to identify and describe challenges and barriers in tobacco cessation delivery that exist at various levels of health care as well as at the level of tobacco users, their care givers and communities in which they live.

Method:
Besides authors’ first-hand collective experience in the tobacco control for over 80 years and ~35 years in tobacco cessation and reviewed references, the stakeholders communications during various events along with telephonic or in-person with some of them were assimilated to comprehend an overall understanding of the issue.

Results:
The challenges and barriers are primarily due to low priority assigned by the relevant functionaries, the inadequacy of resources, poor engagement of health-and insurance-sectors and healthcare workers, a low intent to quit by its users, suboptimal and discontinuous enforcement of the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act of 2003 (COTPA), and indifference of the non-users.

Conclusion:
The countrywide strategic initiatives required “as a package” should include political and bureaucratic commitment, mass communication on benefits of quitting, licensed current users quitting through a timeline, use of systems approach in tobacco cessation delivery, implementation, and enforcement of vendor licensing and the proposed amendments in COTPA. Their perceived benefits will become a win-win situation for all stakeholders engaged in tobacco cessation delivery.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background:
The endodontic space is complex, and using a single-cone obturation technique fails to ensure a complete filling.

Introduction:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasonic activation, sonic activation, and single-cone technique of a biosealer on its dentinal tubular penetration.

Materials and Methods:
In the experiment, single-root mandibular premolars were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 20): group A, ultrasonic activation; Group B, sonic activation; and Group C, single-cone technique. Penetration of the fluorescently labeled biosealer was investigated using a confocal laser scanning microscope.

Results:
The data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests (P = 0.05). The highest penetration of biosealer was observed in Group A, followed by Group B (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:
Dentinal tubule penetration of biosealer was significantly improved by ultrasonic and sonic activation techniques.

Published: March 2024

A total of forty- nine (49) fresh rock samples of the various intrusive rocks (granitoids and dolerites)were collected from the field. These rocks intruded metamorphic rocks that include pyllites, schists, gneisses and amphibolites in the Oban Massif. Intrusive rocks pegmatitic granites and granodiorite exhibit porphyritic texture rich in feldspars, quartz, muscovite, biotite, tourmaline and beryl. The granodiorite contains xenoliths of metamorphic rocks. The dolerites are ophitic and composed of plagioclase, olivine and pyroxene. From the geochemical analyses, the intrusive rocks show SiO2 to be the most abundant chemical component in all the rock units with its highest value recorded in the pegmatitic granite (Av. 70.07%), while the lowest value (59.68%) recorded in the dolerite. Al2O3 also display high concentration in rocks of Oban Massif. The rocks have concentrations of Al2O3> (CaO + Na2O + K2O), low MgO, and TiO2 concentrations while pegmatitic granites exhibit low concentration in FeOTotal. The alkaline and calc-alkaline, granitoid intrusives in the study area were found to be I-type crustal orogenic granitoids that represent a late stage intrusion along major shear and thrust zones.The results of trace elements analysis revealed that almost all the intrusive rocks of Oban Massif contain high Ba content, the highest values occur in the pegmatitic granite with a mean concentration of (2266ppm), while meladiorite was found to contain the least amount of Ba (44ppm).
Size Distribution And Heavy Mineral Pattern In Some E Gbe Streams, Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Joseph Ayofe Aderogbin , Ekaete E Umoh , Olukayode Adeyinka Falana 
Published: March 2024

The Egbe-Isanlu schist belt has received scholarly attention from several researchers but there is no documented report on types and the distribution of heavy minerals in streams of the area. This study is intended to reveal the types of heavy minerals, the distribution and possible source rocks to guide prospectors in gems. The study area lies within latitude 08o 03' and 08o 16 ' and longitude 05o 31' and 05o 43’ of the Southwestern Basement Complex terrain in Nigeria. Fifteen stream sediment samples were collected at appropriate points along river channels, air dried at room temperature, sieved and subjected to heavy mineral separation process using bromoform. Graphic mean, sorting, skewness and kurtosis were determined and heavy minerals identified under microscope. The graphic mean ranges between 0.67 (coarse sand) to 2.49 (fine sand), skewness between 0.75 and -0.10 and Kurtosis between 0.87 and 1.88. The calculated ZTR index ranges between 6.86% and 3.35.0%. The identified heavy minerals in the study area included tourmaline, epidote, rutile, zircon, kyanite, staurolite, garnet and zeolite. These minerals are modernly distributed across the sampled area and in some locations, they are relatively high in abundance. Some of the heavy minerals are angular to sub-angular in shape suggesting a short distance of travel from source. The graphic mean gives values that suggests a moderately to poorly sorted sediment and skewness indicated a platykurtic and leptokurtic nature for the sediments. Calculated ZTR index classified the sediments as immature to sub-mature indicating a short distance of travel suggesting that the sediments could have been derived within the catchment area. The presence of zircon, tourmaline and rutile suggests that the sediments might probably have its source from acid intrusive rocks and pegmatites.
Grids: Re-considering Infrastructural Politics of Urban Space
Authors: Kolesnikova Daria A. 
Published: March 2024

For many centuries, the principle of linear planning based on a grid pattern has played a significant role in the spatial organization of urban boundaries. Additionally, the grid principle has formed the basis for policies and practices related to the emergence of “disciplinary societies”, leading to the modern networked society. Drawing on the concept of the grid as a cultural technique by media philosopher Bernhard Siegert, this article examines the functioning of the grid as epistemic frameworks and the media of representation, order, and filteration. The article also provides insights into the manifestation of the grid principle in the context of the emerging field of social research on infrastructures, including the digital infrastructure of smart cities. This encompasses a wide spectrum, from smart devices and everyday communication to pervasive sensors and big data, from the sharing of images and impressions to advanced prosthetics, from the development of smart cities to the deployment of surveillance technologies and predictive algorithms. Through a range of case studies, from the study of structured territorial control of the Roman limitatio to the efficient grid patterns of pre-fabricated housing districts worldwide, the research examines the potential and transhistorical nature of the grid principle. The article is intended for media philosophers, anthropologists, urbanists and digital culture theorists.

Treinos cognitivos têm ganhado cada vez mais atenção no cenário científico mundial. Embora promissor, o uso espontâneo de estratégias durante treinos para memória de trabalho em crianças é pouco investigado. Há poucos instrumentos criados para a investigação do uso de estratégias. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi apresentar os estudos de análise de juízes e de inteligibilidade com o público-alvo do Questionário de Levantamento de Estratégias para Treinos Cognitivos. No estudo de análise de juízes, o objetivo foi verificar pertinência, clareza e relevância dos itens elaborados. Cinco profissionais do sexo feminino, com experiência em avaliação psicológica, desenvolvimento humano, Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental e Neuropsicologia, com 12,2 anos de experiência, em média, responderam a um formulário online contendo os itens. Já no segundo estudo, pretendeu-se verificar a inteligibilidade dos itens do questionário com o público-alvo. Os itens foram apresentados a 10 crianças de 7 a 10 anos. Os resultados indicaram coeficientes de validade de conteúdo adequados para quase todos os itens. Os resultados do segundo estudo sugerem uma compreensão adequada dos itens pela maioria das crianças. Portanto, o instrumento apresenta evidências satisfatórias iniciais de propriedades psicométricas, ainda que outros estudos sejam necessários.
