Published: October 2023

Background: Endodontic success depends on the complete cleaning and shaping of the root canal. In order to achieve this goal, debris removal is essential. Even with improvements in instrument design, apical debris extrusion continues to be a cause of periradicular inflammation. The current study aimed to compare the amount of apically extruded debris throughout the canal instrumentation with TruNatomy, ProTaper Next, 2Shape rotary systems. Methods: A total of 60 freshly extracted single‑rooted mandibular premolars were used. An access opening was made, and a working length was estimated. The samples were arbitrarily allocated into three groups i.e. Group I: TruNatomy (n = 20), Group II: ProTaper Next (n = 20), Group III: 2Shape (n = 20). During the canal instrumentation, the extruded debris were collected in preweighed Eppendorf tubes. Post-instrumentation, the tubes were placed in a hot air oven at 140°C for five hours. For calculating the dry debris weight, the tube’s pre-instrumentation weight was deducted from the post-instrumentation weight. The data was analysed using one‑way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey’s test. Results: Extrusion of debris was noted in all the specimens. TruNatomy rotary system showed least debris extrusion in comparison to ProTaper Next and 2Shape (P < 0.05). However, the results were statistically non-significant between ProTaper Next and 2Shape (P > 0.05). Conclusions: It was noted that all instruments apically extruded debris, with TruNatomy system being related to minimum extrusion.

Background: Inference on pneumococcal transmission has mostly relied on longitudinal studies which are costly and resource intensive. Therefore, we conducted a pilot study to test the ability to infer who infected whom from cross-sectional pneumococcal sequences using phylogenetic inference. Methods: Five suspected transmission pairs, for which there was epidemiological evidence of who infected whom, were selected from a household study. For each pair, Streptococcus pneumoniae full genomes were sequenced from nasopharyngeal swabs collected on the same day. The within-host genetic diversity of the pneumococcal population was used to infer the transmission direction and then cross-validated with the direction suggested by the epidemiological records. Results: The pneumococcal genomes clustered into the five households from which the samples were taken. The proportion of concordantly inferred transmission direction generally increased with increasing minimum genome fragment size and single nucleotide polymorphisms. We observed a larger proportion of unique polymorphic sites in the source bacterial population compared to that of the recipient in four of the five pairs, as expected in the case of a transmission bottleneck. The only pair that did not exhibit this effect was also the pair that had consistent discordant transmission direction compared to the epidemiological records suggesting potential misdirection as a result of false-negative sampling. Conclusions: This pilot provided support for further studies to test if the direction of pneumococcal transmission can be reliably inferred from cross-sectional samples if sequenced with sufficient depth and fragment length.
Multidisciplinary approach to community engagement in global public health research
Authors: Adeagbo Oluwafemi , Hlongwa Mbuzeleni , Tleis Malak , Dubey Priyanka , Afifi Rima , Butali Azeez 
Published: October 2023

Recently, there has been a renewed interest in the role of community engagement in knowledge production and ethical issues such as ‘helicopter research’, indicating exploitative research activities of some researchers as well as short-term relationships with research communities especially in low- and middle-income countries. This approach is detrimental to both communities and the larger scientific community as this may breed mistrust. Major institutions such as the National Institute of Health and Care Research in the United Kingdom have highlighted the importance of community engagement as a tool to improve the reach, quality, and impact of the research by incorporating the voices and concerns of marginalized communities. Similarly, in its 2022 guidance, the American Society for Human Genetics (ASGH) highlights the need to address underrepresentation in genomics research through community engagement. Establishing ethical and meaningful long-term relationships can be challenging especially for researchers who are not members of the community or those from other countries. This article describes how ‘community-engaged research’ can address some ethical challenges in global public health in different cultural settings.

INTRODUCTION:
Convolutional neural network during endoscopy may facilitate evaluation of Helicobacter pylori infection without obtaining gastric biopsies. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnosis accuracy of a computer-aided decision support system for H. pylori infection (CADSS-HP) based on convolutional neural network under white-light endoscopy.

METHODS:
Archived video recordings of upper endoscopy with white-light examinations performed at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital (January 2019–September 2020) were used to develop CADSS-HP. Patients receiving endoscopy were prospectively enrolled (August 2021–August 2022) from 3 centers to calculate the diagnostic property. Accuracy of CADSS-HP for H. pylori infection was also compared with endoscopic impression, urea breath test (URT), and histopathology. H. pylori infection was defined by positive test on histopathology and/or URT.

RESULTS:
Video recordings of 599 patients who received endoscopy were used to develop CADSS-HP. Subsequently, 456 patients participated in the prospective evaluation including 189 (41.4%) with H. pylori infection. With a threshold of 0.5, CADSS-HP achieved an area under the curve of 0.95 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93–0.97) with sensitivity and specificity of 91.5% (95% CI 86.4%–94.9%) and 88.8% (95% CI 84.2%–92.2%), respectively. CADSS-HP demonstrated higher sensitivity (91.5% vs 78.3%; mean difference = 13.2%, 95% CI 5.7%–20.7%) and accuracy (89.9% vs 83.8%, mean difference = 6.1%, 95% CI 1.6%–10.7%) compared with endoscopic diagnosis by endoscopists. Sensitivity of CADSS-HP in diagnosing H. pylori was comparable with URT (91.5% vs 95.2%; mean difference = 3.7%, 95% CI −1.8% to 9.4%), better than histopathology (91.5% vs 82.0%; mean difference = 9.5%, 95% CI 2.3%–16.8%).

DISCUSSION:
CADSS-HP achieved high sensitivity in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection in the real-time test, outperforming endoscopic diagnosis by endoscopists and comparable with URT. Clinicaltrials.gov; ChiCTR2000030724.
No net land take for Flanders. Towards a roadmap for the implementation of Europe’s land target
Authors: Lacoere Peter , Leinfelder Hans 
Published: October 2023

Since 2011, the European Commission has recommended that member states reduce land take and achieve the ‘no net land take’ objective by 2050. The objective was reinforced in the EU ‘Soil Strategy for 2030’ and is likely to gain further importance in the upcoming Soil Health Law. This paper investigates the feasibility and implementation of a no net land take policy for the Flemish region, Belgium. The new land policy for Flanders was announced in 2016, representing a paradigm shift from spatial growth to final growth boundaries. The paper uses a generic model of the policy-making cycle to assess the implementation of a no net land take policy at the national or regional level. We propose a roadmap of implementation in five cyclical phases for Flanders, but many aspects of this proposed roadmap can be applied to other parts of Europe as well. In the implementation stage, the targeted selection and implementation of land-use instruments is of paramount importance to realise the land-take reduction trajectory. The Flemish case of the so-called Bouwshift shows that development instruments supporting further construction at good locations are politically more popular than protective measures that actually protect soil and landscape but intervene in property rights.
Influence of sexual dimorphism on satellite cell regulation and inflammatory response during skeletal muscle regeneration
Authors: Jomard Charline , Gondin Julien 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAfter injury, skeletal muscle regenerates thanks to the key role of satellite cells (SC). The regeneration process is supported and coordinated by other cell types among which immune cells. Among the mechanisms involved in skeletal muscle regeneration, a sexual dimorphism, involving sex hormones and more particularly estrogens, has been suggested. However, the role of sexual dimorphism on skeletal muscle regeneration is not fully understood, likely to the use of various experimental settings in both animals and human. This review aims at addressing how sex and estrogens regulate both the SC and the inflammatory response during skeletal muscle regeneration by considering the different experimental designs used in both animal models (i.e., ovarian hormone deficiency, estrogen replacement or supplementation, treatments with estrogen receptors agonists/antagonists and models knockout for estrogen receptors) and human (hormone therapy replacement, pre vs. postmenopausal, menstrual cycle variation…).
Lung mechanics showing sex‐based differences and circadian time‐of‐day response to bleomycin‐induced lung injury in mice
Authors: Prasad Chandrashekhar , Duraisamy Santhosh Kumar , Sundar Isaac Kirubakaran 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease that impairs lung mechanical properties due to dysregulated extracellular matrix remodeling. Lung function assessment is an important physiological endpoint in the mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) that has gained a broader scientific acceptance in the field. IPF pathophysiology shows sex‐based differences, disproportionately affecting more men compared to women. Prior reports suggest that the circadian clock is perturbed during the pathogenesis of PF. We have comprehensively assessed the sex‐based differences and time‐of‐day response (at Zeitgeber time: ZT0/6:00 a.m. or ZT12/6 p.m.) in lung mechanics among sham (control) versus bleomycin (BLM)‐challenged female and male (C57BL/6: WT) mice using Flexi‐vent. BLM challenge altered lung function significantly in males in both total lung (reduced dynamic compliance, and increased resistance and elastance) as well as lung tissue‐specific parameters (increased tissue elastance and tissue damping) but less pronounced in females. BLM‐challenged mice showed a time‐of‐day response in lung function at ZT0 versus ZT12, which was pronounced in the ZT0 BLM group. Overall, these findings provide a comprehensive analysis of altered lung function in female and male mice and the time‐of‐day difference in lung function parameters following BLM‐induced lung fibrosis.
Lombroso’s criminal face across physiognomy and semeiotics
Authors: Di Caterino Angelo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The paper examines the origins of physiognomy through analysis of the work of one of its founding fathers, Cesare Lombroso. The most interesting facet of Lombroso’s studies on the criminal face is how it can be considered as a true semeiotics. Although the Italian doctor’s supposed discoveries cannot be defined as scientific, his quantitative approach constitutes an important case study, since he tries to establish pertinences between facial features and criminal subjects’ features. It can be observed how Lombroso’s approach and theories are actually within a particular rationale that semiotics of culture can clarify from the perspective of the way in which specific facial features become commonly shared stereotypes.
Eyes on Chinese female models’ faces: stereotypes, aesthetics, self-Orientalism, and the moral discourse of the CPC
Authors: Wang Yifei 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The representation the model’s face in advertisements is a controversial issue for the Chinese. This article investigates the features and the origin of stereotypical Chinese eyes throughout history, highlighting the naturalization of the slanting eyes in the Western context. Through a short summary of preferable eyes in physiognomy, traditional painting, and modern China, the essay demonstrates the variation in perception of the beauty of eyes that differ from and are influenced by the West in both positive and negative aspects. The essay critiques the Orientalist portrayal of Chinese models by comparing the stereotypical slanting eyes and the admired phoenix eyes and conducting a semiotic analysis of Chen Man’s 2021 Dior photo. Furthermore, by adopting the Chinese concept of “face” (lian/mianzi) in the case of the Chinese brand Three Squirrels, the author proposes that the sensibility of the Chinese toward the model’s face is not only a historic problem related to national emotions but also a moral issue linked with collectivism, particularly in self-Orientalist cases. The Communist Party of China plays an active role in the construction of the moral discourse regarding the perception of the beauty of eyes, which may become another response to Orientalism.
From Odessa to “Little Odessa”: Migration of Food and Myth
Authors: Kabanen Inna 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
National cuisine represents an important part of our identity. Being able to cook or eat familiar foods when living abroad becomes nearly as important as being able to use one’s mother tongue. This article discusses the phenomenon of Odessan cuisine both in Odessa and in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, a Russian-speaking enclave where more than 10,000 ex-Soviet citizens, many of whom were Odessans. The aim of the study is to explore the migration of the Odessan culinary tradition, the gastropoetic aspect of Odessan food narration and the embodiment of the myth of Odessa in food discourse. The study analyses the websites, social media, the menus of two restaurants labelling themselves as Odessan, and the clients’ comments related to said restaurants. The gastropoetic aspect of Odessan culinary tradition is presented through examples from the literary works of Odessan authors.
Metaphoric expressions and temporality in Telugu
Authors: Duggirala Vasanta 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The tendency for the abstract domain of time to be lexicalized in terms of the relatively concrete domain of space has been extensively researched with reference to languages spoken in the Western hemisphere. That such cross-domain mappings in the conceptual system give rise to metaphors is also a well-established fact. The surface realization of metaphors known as “metaphoric expressions” are said to be language and culture specific and tend to play an important role in expressing inter-subjective communication needs. There is limited published literature on this topic with reference to the languages of South Asia, and especially those of India. Drawing on some insights gathered from previously published research on this topic, this corpus-based study examines aspects of temporality encoded in a set of 105 metaphoric expressions in Telugu. The results revealed that metaphoric expressions containing reduplicated spatial terms encode “time-as-such” temporality and are greater in number compared to both temporal terms expressing “matrix-sense”, and onomatopes expressing “event-based time”. These results are discussed with the help of examples and some suggestions are made for future research.
Supplements for Survival: On the Category of ‘Surplus of Impulses’ in Arnold Gehlen’s Anthropobiology
Authors: Agudelo Sebastián 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The surplus of impulses is a key category in Gehlen’s anthropobiology to understand the process of hominisation and humanisation. From the dedifferentiation of human instincts and the primitivisation of man’s anatomy, to the role of experience, institutions, and speech, the surplus of impulses is a source that flows between the inner and the outer, by feeding the action circle that whether translates in activity or is redirected inwards in order to become a movement of volitional constitution. The ambivalence in which Gehlen deals with this function of freedom gives rise to a pessimistic and sacrificial idea of man. However, he posits certain basic elements of a hedonistic theory of speech from which we can better understand the stabilizing task of language as cornerstone of institutions.
Musik im Überfluss
Authors: Rolle Christian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Streaming macht Musik im Überfluss verfügbar. Fast jede Musikaufnahme ist jederzeit überall zugänglich. Das kann als Demokratisierung von Kultur gefeiert werden, in der auch das Besondere und Marginalisierte einen Platz hat. Wie Vorschlagsalgorithmen uns dabei helfen zu wissen, was wir hören wollen, kann andererseits als Befriedigung von kulturindustriell erst geschaffenen Bedürfnissen kritisiert werden. In jedem Fall stellt Musik-Streaming aufmerksamkeitsökonomisch eine Herausforderung dar. Der Beitrag analysiert einige Strategien zur Bewältigung des Überangebots. So schaffen Playlists Ordnung und Empfehlungen geben Orientierung. Wir finden eine Praxis der Beschleunigung durch Skippen und Vorspulen neben der Suche nach Entschleunigung durch Rückzug in die begrenzte vertraute Vinyl-Sammlung. Der technische Wandel geht mit einer Transformation ästhetischer Praktiken der Musikrezeption einher.
Influence of autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with primary aldosteronism: subtype analysis and postoperative outcome
Authors: Hung Kuang , Lee Bo-Ching , Chen Po-Ting , Liu Kao-Lang , Chang Chin-Chen , Wu Vin-Cent , Lin Yen-Hung 
Published: October 2023

Context
Autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) has a relatively high prevalence in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). There is still a lack of relevant studies to analyze the influence of ACS on diagnosing and managing PA.

Objective
To evaluate the influence of ACS on image–adrenal venous sampling (AVS) correlation and the postoperative results.

Methods
This was a retrospective study using the Taiwan Primary Aldosteronism Investigation database from July 2017 to April 2020, with 327 PA patients enrolled. A total of 246 patients were included in the image–AVS analysis. Patients who had undergone unilateral adrenalectomy and a 12-month follow-up were included in the postoperative analysis.

Results
Sixty-five patients (26.4%) had ACS. The image–AVS discordance rate was higher in the ACS group compared to the non-ACS group (75.4% (n = 49) vs 56.4% (n = 102); odds ratio (OR) = 2.37 (CI: 1.26–4.48); P = 0.007). The complete biochemical success rate was higher in the non-ACS group than that in the ACS group (98.1% (n = 51) vs 64.3% (n = 9); OR = 28.333 (CI: 2.954–271.779); P = 0.001). In logistic regression analysis, ACS was the only factor associated with lower biochemical success (OR = 0.035 (CI: 0.004–0.339), P = 0.004).

Conclusion
PA patients with ACS have higher image–AVS discordance rate and worse biochemical outcomes after surgery. ACS was the only negative predictor of postoperative biochemical outcomes. Further studies and novel biomarkers for AVS are crucial for obtaining better postoperative outcomes in PA patients with ACS.
Supression of mechanical oscillations in a nonlinear systems with restriction
Authors: Zaksienė Genovaitė 
Published: October 2023

The application of the dynamical dampers in the mechanical systems, when the sources of stimulation are impossible to abolish, is one of the ways to fight against the harmful vibrations. The linear dynamical damper of nonlinear systems can compensate the force of stimulation in wide diapason of frequency. The parameters of dynamical system where dynamical damper exists more effectively are determined.
