Polalanta Divorce Practices of the Banggai Tribe Community in Banggai Islands District in the Perspective of Islamic Law and Positive Law
Authors: Mutalib Adiyanto , B M Taufan , Malarangan Hilal 
Published: January 2024

This study discuss the practice of Polalantadivorce practice among the Banggai ethnic community from the perspectives of Islamic law and positive law in the Mansamat B Village, South Tinangkung District, Banggai Islands Regency.The aims of this study are examine factors drive the residents of Mansamat B Village, South Tinangkung District, Banggai Islands Regency to engage in Polalanta divorce practice, and to find out the perspective of Islamic and positive law in Polalanta divorce practice among the residents of the village. This study used a qualitative method with data collection techniques involving observation, in-depth interviews, and written document analysis. The data analysis techniques employed include data reduction, data presentation, data verification, and drawing conclusions. This study found that time efficiency and simplicity are significant factors motivating the Banggai ethnic community in Mansamat B Village to opt for divorce outside the Religious Court or Polalanta practice. Additionally, economic considerations also play a role, requires administrative expenses, which, despite subsidies for those less fortunate, are still perceived as significant by some. Hence, the choice to divorce outside the Religious Court is more appealing. Furthermore, a lack of legal awareness and personal issues contribute to this practice. We aso found that there are distinctions between positive law and Islamic law concerning divorce. Islamic law requires only formal witnessing, whereas positive law mandates court proceedings in the Religious Court. This provision is outlined in Article 39 paragraph (1) of Law No.1 of 1974, Article 65 of Law No.3 of 2006, and Article 115 of the Compilation of Islamic Law, stipulating that divorce can only take place before a court session after the court has attempted and failed to reconcile both parties.

Published: January 2024

A longstanding interest in bone tissue engineering is the development of new bio-scaffolds that can be manufactured on a large scale with high throughput at low cost. Here, we report a low-cost and systematically optimized hydrothermal synthesis for producing Mo-doped potassium titanate nanofibers with high structural purity. This new nanosynthesis is based on bone tissue growth on an undoped titanate nanowires-entangled scaffold, as previously reported by our team. The morphological and structural characterization data suggest that the crystal structure of Mo-doped titanate nanofibers closely resembles that of the undoped ones. This resemblance is potentially valuable for assessing the role of Mo dopants in engineering bone tissue.
Genetic and environmental determinants of dental occlusal variation in South Australian twins
Authors: Townsend Grant C. , Corruccini Robert S. , Richards Lindsay C. , Brown Tasman 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
As part of an ongoing study of dentofacial morphology in South Australian twins, several occlusal traits were compared between forty eight monozygous and thirty four dizygous twin pairs, as well as estimating genetic variances for these features. Significant genetic variance was noted for incisal overbite and overjet, sagittal molar relationship, and also rotations and displacements of anterior teeth. However, heritability estimates were low in magnitude (about 30%) emphasising the importance of environmental influences on occlusal variation.
Orthodontic Treatment Need and the Dental Aesthetic Index
Authors: Keay Peter A. , Freer Terrence J. , Basford Kaye E. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The Dental Aesthetic (DAI) was devised as a measure of dental appearance and based on lay opinions as opposed to professional assessments of need. The DAI is calculated from the weighted scores of ten occlusal variables. These same variables have been used in other malocclusion indices intended to measure morphological deviations from normality. It is, therefore, important to ask if the DAI might be used to screen both deviations of dental appearance and deviations of occlusion from accepted norms.
The original DAI design was based on analysis data from permanent dentitions. However, a large percentage of orthodontic assessments are carried out in the mixed dentition.
Therefore, the present study includes a sample of mixed dentitions to test the effectiveness of the DAI in this group. The DAI was tested against the subjective assessments of severity made by orthodontists. Sensitivity and negative predictive power were high. Performance in the mixed dentition group was slightly lower than the permauent dentition group. It is concluded that while the DAI is not sufficiently reliable for assessment of treatment need in the individual, its sensitivity and negative predictive power might provide a useful screening mechanism which reflects both the concerns of patients regarding appearance and the general treatment recommendations of orthodontists. Testing on much larger samples is now required.
Shear Bond Strength of a Mechanically Retained Ceramic Bracket
Authors: Carly Glenn , Tyas Martin J. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The failure under shear loading of mechanically retained ceramic brackets bonded to enamel was investigated.
One light-activated dual-cure and two no-mix self-cure adhesives were compared to au Adhesive Pre-coated hracket (APC).
The results indicated that the ceramic bracket bonded with the light-activated dual-cure adhesive had a significantly higher mean shear bond strength than the other adhesive systems.
All adhesive systems usually failed cohesively with adhesive remaining attached to the bracket and enamel surfaces. There was no significant difference in failure site.
There was a significant difference in the amount of adhesive remaining attached to the enamel surface. The light-activated dual-cure adhesive and Adhesive Pre-coated brackets failed in 50% and 80% of instances respectively, with less than 10% of the adhesive remaining attached to the enamel surface. Self-cure adhesives failed usually with 10-90% of the adhesive remaining attached to the enamel surface. There were no instances of enamel damage. Three cases of bracket fracture occurred, one of these being associated with the highest recorded bond strength.

Expert Systems in Orthodontic Clinical Diagnosis
Authors: Grant Peter D. , Freer Terrence J. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Computer-aided diagnosis of orthodontic anomalies is of particular interest in the screening of potential patients.
General practitioners and public dental health workers would find considerable benefit in a reliable automated system capable of reflecting the clinical assessments of orthodontists. This study investigates the application of an expert system (Xpert Rule™) to the assessment of treatment need using thirteen traits of malocclusion to construct a knowledge base. Decision trees were generated using a pruning option available with the expert system.
The results of the study are encouraging and suggest that an expert system is able to generate a useful clinical screening device.
Further modification of the knowledge base is required to provide a broader range of case types, particularly those of less common occurrence. lt is also suggested that the random aggregation of cases is not the most effective means of developing a knowledge base.

Abstract
The spread of duck hepatitis virus (DHV) in Egypt with its’ most prevalent genotypes (1 and 3) causes vast economic losses in the duck industry despite the regular vaccination with live attenuated vaccines. However, the use of live-vaccines is considered a potential risk for the non-vaccinated birds due to the viral shedding from vaccinated populations. The current study aimed to evaluate the protective efficacy and safety of two inactivated monovalent and one bivalent vaccines against DHV 1 and 3 genotypes. The inactivated monovalent (DHAV-1, DHAV-3) and bivalent (DHAV-1+3) vaccines were produced by using Montanide ISA 70 oil as an adjuvant. Three groups of 4-week-old ducklings (n=50) were vaccinated with one of the three vaccines, respectively. One group of ducklings was used as negative control (n=25). The immune-response of the vaccinated groups was measured by Virus Neutralization Test and expressed with Neutralizing Indices (NIs). The NIs for the bivalent vaccine group (5.6 and 5.4) were higher compared to the monovalent vaccine groups (5.0 and 4.7). In conclusion, the use of inactivated bivalent DHV vaccine could produce higher protective efficacy compared to the monovalent DHAV-1 and DHAV-3 vaccines.
Research on the effect of temperature increase during flow forming without cooling on 6060 aluminum alloy
Authors: Gądek Tomasz , Majewski Marcin 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper presents the results of flow forming tests for the 6060 aluminum alloy in the T5 heat treatment condition. The tests were conducted on a cylindrical mandrel using two forming rollers without the use of a cooling agent. The purpose of the study was to conduct two experiments. In both experiments, the final gap between the roller and the mandrel was designed to be the same. The impact of the deformation value on the change in the mechanical properties of the material with the simultaneous impact of the number of forming passes was determined. In addition, the effect of the elimination of a coolant on the process was analyzed. The material temperature rise caused by friction between a pair of working parts: the roller—and the workpiece—were examined with a thermal imaging camera.
This paper presents the results of microhardness tests and analyzes the impact of the forming parameters on the strength properties of the alloy. Because the forming process was done without cooling, the impact of the temperature prevailing during the deformation process on the change in the strength of the alloy was studied and analyzed. The deformation zone in which intensive grain deformation took place was determined.
Ideas of Multipolarity in the Conceptual Frame of the Soviet Diplomacy during the Final Phases of the Great Patriotic war (1943–1945)
Authors: Magadeev I. E. 
Published: January 2024

This article endeavors to delineate the conceptual landscape occupied by the notions of prospective multipolarity within the strategic discourse of Soviet diplomacy during the latter phases of the Great Patriotic War. Particular emphasis is placed on the intellectual contributions of two prominent Soviet diplomats, M.M. Litvinov and I.M. Maisky. The author substantiates these insights by drawing upon both published and archival source materials, including the diaries and records maintained by officials within the Soviet Foreign Office, as well as documents emanating from the "Litvinov commission."While the diplomatic theories formulated by Litvinov and Maisky during the years 1943–1945 have been subject to analysis by Russian and international scholars, the majority of extant scholarship has traditionally focused on the content and nuances of their perspectives on specific international "questions." Departing from this convention, this article adopts a methodological approach that seeks to explore the underlying conceptual foundations upon which the ideas of Litvinov and Maisky were constructed. Additionally, the essay introduces a novel dimension by surveying the viewpoints of other Soviet diplomats (S.A. Lozovskii, B.E. Shtein, Ia.Z. Surits, E.V. Tarle), who have garnered relatively less scholarly attention.Of paramount interest is the manner in which Litvinov and Maisky envisaged the post-World War II international landscape, albeit without explicitly employing the term "multipolarity." The article addresses critical questions, such as their perception of the global scenario following WWII, their consideration of the inevitability of Soviet-American bipolarity, and the factors and circumstances that influenced their conceptualizations. The contemporary resurgence of discussions surrounding the trajectory of multipolarity in the twenty-first century underscores the pertinence of this historical inquiry.The article's key conclusion posits that the conceptual framework embraced by Soviet diplomats during 1943–1945 was not centered on notions of bipolarity or an imminent Cold War. While acknowledging the potential escalation of tensions between the USSR and Western nations led by the USA and Great Britain, they favored collaboration among the principal powers of the antiHitlerite coalition, grounded in an implicit understanding of their respective "spheres of influence." Although Soviet Foreign Office officials did not discount the possibility of the formation of a united Anglo-American front against the USSR, they believed that Soviet diplomacy should actively work to prevent such an outcome by capitalizing on the fissures between Washington and London.
The Impact of ‘Migration Potential’ on the Economic and Demographic Development of Donor and Recipient Countries
Authors: Ledeneva V. Yu. , Rakhmonov A. Kh. 
Published: January 2024

The phenomenon of global migration exerts a substantial impact on nations, organizations, and individuals, yet the focus of scholarly discourse on the potential of migrants has historically not paralleled the magnitude of this phenomenon. This study brings into focus the often-neglected dual nature of immigrant potential, impacting both countries that receive migrants (recipient countries) and those from which migrants originate (donor countries). Prior research within the Russian context predominantly examined the potential of compatriots in post-independence neighboring countries or the potential related to internal migration and the redistribution of human and labor resources regionally. Prevailing perspectives have largely been confined to examining the migration potential of specific socio-demographic groups within defined territories, often characterized by distinct ethnic features. This research illuminates the dual aspect of external migrant potential. It elucidates how migrants contribute significantly to the development of host countries, while donor countries also reap considerable benefits from the migratory capabilities and engagements of their citizens in foreign employment.The objective of this article is to augment theoretical paradigms in the study of "migration potential," conceptualizing it as an integrative system that combines quantitative and qualitative attributes of a highly mobile and motivated populace. The paper seeks to delineate the conceptual framework of migration potential, establish its structural composition, and elucidate the mechanisms and factors through which migrant potential influences the economic and demographic progress of both recipient and donor nations.Findings: The study delineates the constituent components of the functional sub-potentials (subcomponents) within the broader construct of "migration potential," synthesizing these through a meticulous examination of extant Russian and international academic literature. Migration potential is approached as a variable that is both fluid and subject to modification. The research critically analyzes the multifaceted impacts – both advantageous and adverse – of migration on diverse sectors of life in donor and recipient countries. A case in point is the correlation between the educational potential and the intellectual prowess of highly skilled migrants, which significantly contributes to innovation within the host regions. Conversely, a deficiency in the integration potential of external migrants may precipitate xenophobic tendencies among native populations. From the perspective of donor countries, the influx of remittances stands out as a pivotal and transformative element within the broader context of global migration.
A randomized controlled trial of nurse-led Brief Focused Intervention for patients with alcohol use-related mild traumatic brain injury in the emergency and casualty services of a tertiary hospital
Authors: Pavalur Rajitha , Nattala Prasanthi , Kandasamy Arun , Shukla Dhaval P. 
Published: January 2024

Objectives:
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the leading causes of road traffic accidents in India. Individuals with acute injuries often present to emergency hospital services. Carrying out brief interventions in the emergency can prevent further injury and even progression to severe patterns of drinking. However, there are no known studies from India examining the effectiveness of such interventions in emergency settings. Against this background, the objective of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led Brief Focused Intervention (BFI) in comparison with the minimal intervention for patients with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) reporting to the emergency and casualty services of a tertiary hospital in Bengaluru, South India, who screened positive for alcohol use.

Materials and Methods:
The BFI comprised a video portraying the effects of alcohol on the brain and muscles and brief advice on how to reduce or avoid alcohol use. Subjects (N = 90) were randomly allocated to two groups: BFI (n = 45) or Minimal Intervention Group (MIG) (n = 45). Standardized tools were used to assess both groups on specific outcomes for up to six months following discharge from the emergency and casualty services. At the end of six months, complete data wasavailable for 73 patients.

Results:
Participants’ (N = 73) mean age was 35 years (standard deviation [SD]-11). Over the six-month follow-up, the BFI group reported significantly lesser quantity of alcohol consumption (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test [AUDIT] Score – 5.03, SD 4.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.70, 6.35) compared to MIG (AUDIT Score – 9.76, SD 2.96, 95% CI = 8.73, 10.80), and fewer alcohol use-related problems in BFI group (Mean – 4.18, SD 3.21, 95% CI = 3.14, 5.22) compared to MIG (Mean – 5.88, SD 2.59, 95% CI = 4.98, 6.79). Results of logistic regression showed that being in MIG as well as baseline hazardous use of alcohol were associated with unfavorable outcomes at the end of six months follow-up.

Conclusion:
Findings provide the first known evidence from India for the effectiveness of nurse-led BFI in the emergency and casualty services in improving post-discharge outcomes for patients with alcohol use-related mild TBI. While the findings of the study are statistically significant, these findings also have significant clinical relevance, as they have shown that the BFI improved clinical outcomes. Thus, brief interventions should be implemented for these patients whenever possible in the Emergency setting.

Aim: To study spontaneous and stimulated by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adrenaline and collagen platelet aggregation activity, CD40-CD40 ligand system in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with previous thromboembolic complications (TEC) and newly diagnosed thrombosis.Material and Methods. The study included patients with «non-valvular» AF and anamnesis of TEC and newly identified thrombosis on anticoagulants in the period 01.2020-01.2023: 13 patients had anamnesis of TEC (group 1), in 18 patients were initially diagnosed thrombosis/spontaneous atrial echocontrast of high grade (group 2). The comparison group was the healthy individuals (n = 31) (group 3). The spontaneous aggregation ability of platelets and stimulated with solutions of ADP, adrenaline and collagen, the level of CD40 markers, soluble CD40 ligand (CD40L) were studied.Results. The spontaneous platelet aggregation activity was significantly higher in patients of group 2 compared with healthy individuals with a formation trend of larger aggregates in patients with TEC. When aggregation was induced by collagen, the rate of aggregate formation was significantly lower in the 1st and 2nd groups compared with healthy individuals. When using ADP, a comparable decrease in the degree and speed was noted, and when using adrenaline, only the rate of platelet aggregation was observed in groups 1 and 2. The concentration of soluble CD40L was significantly higher in patients with a history of TEC and newly thrombosis.Conclusion. Spontaneous platelet aggregation activity and the concentration of soluble CD40L are increased both in patients with past of TEC and in patients with newly diagnosed thrombosis due to AF and anticoagulant monotherapy.

Relevance. The embolic effect of drug-coated balloons has only been demonstrated in preclinical studies.Aim: To identify intraoperative distal embolism when using drug-coated balloons during revascularization of the superficial femoral artery. To evaluate the effect of drug embolism on microcirculation of the lower extremities within 12 months after treatment.Material and Methods. Prospective, randomized, single-center pilot study. Twenty patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic femoro-popliteal above the knee lesions were included in the study. The first group underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) using a drug-coated balloon (DCB), the second group – using a non-drug-coated conventional balloon (CB).Results. During intraoperative detection of emboli, distal microembolism was recorded in 10 patients (100%) in the DCB group (median number of emboli = 200) and in 8 patients (80%) in the CB group (median number of emboli = 135), p = 0.47. Primary patency in the DCB group was 100%, in the CB group 60% (p log-rank = 0.02). In the shin there was increase in TcPO2 by 12.2% in the DCB group (p = 0.42), and by 37.1% in the CB group (p = 0.001). At the same time, according to the results of TcPO2 on the shin in the DCB group, there was first a slight decrease in indicators compared to the preoperative level by 6% (p = 0.64), followed by an increase of 12.2% after 12 months of observation (p = 0.22). In the DCB group, the sum of SF-36 questionnaire points increased by 22.7% (p = 0.017), and by 25.3% in the CB group, compared to baseline values respectively (p = 0.04).Conclusion. When using DCB, there is a tendency towards a higher incidence of intraoperative distal embolism and the number of emboli compared with CB. The results of microcirculation studies suggest the presence of distal drug-coated embolism in DCB group.
