Published: January 2024

Background
Various studies propose the significance of digital maturity in ensuring effective patient care and enabling improved health outcomes, a successful digital transformation, and optimized service delivery. Although previous research has centered around inpatient health care settings, research on digital maturity in general practices is still in its infancy.

Objective
As general practitioners (GPs) are the first point of contact for most patients, we aimed to shed light on the pivotal role of GPs’ inherent characteristics, especially their personality, in the digital maturity of general practices.

Methods
In the first step, we applied a sequential mixed methods approach involving a literature review and expert interviews with GPs to construct the digital maturity scale used in this study. Next, we designed a web-based survey to assess digital maturity on a 5-point Likert-type scale and analyze the relationship with relevant inherent characteristics using ANOVAs and regression analysis.

Results
Our web-based survey with 219 GPs revealed that digital maturity was overall moderate (mean 3.31, SD 0.64) and substantially associated with several characteristics inherent to the GP. We found differences in overall digital maturity based on GPs’ gender, the expected future use of digital health solutions, the perceived digital affinity of medical assistants, GPs’ level of digital affinity, and GPs’ level of extraversion and neuroticism. In a regression model, a higher expected future use, a higher perceived digital affinity of medical assistants, a higher digital affinity of GPs, and lower neuroticism were substantial predictors of overall digital maturity.

Conclusions
Our study highlights the impact of GPs’ inherent characteristics, especially their personality, on the digital maturity of general practices. By identifying these inherent influencing factors, our findings support targeted approaches to drive digital maturity in general practice settings.

Objective. To identify a mathematical pattern for the subsequent calculation of the prognosis of the outcome of a tuberculosis patient with HIV infection upon admission to the hospital of the Federal Penitentiary Service.Materials and methods. The object of the study was 363 patients with tuberculosis and HIV infection who were admitted for treatment at the hospital of the Federal Penitentiary Service. Discriminant analysis was used to evaluate the features most associated with the discrimination of observations, a priori divided into groups, and reclassify them. As a result, new discriminant axes were obtained, in the space of which the compared groups have the maximum difference.Results and discussion. Formulas were obtained for predicting the outcome of a tuberculosis patient with HIV infection upon admission to a medical institution of the Federal Penitentiary Service: favorable outcome =–91.2138+4.2971×(body mass index)+0.4426×(«experience» of smoking, years)+0.5143×(hemoglobin level, g/l)+0.6158×(stab neutrophils, %)+ 0.4913×(leukocyte T-cell index);unfavorable outcome =–81.8053+3.9467×(body mass index)+0.4071×(«experience» of smoking, years)+0.4724×(hemoglobin level, g/l)+0.6861×(stab neutrophils, %)+0.6630×(leukocyte T-cell index); progression or chronicity =–91.9349+4.2025×(body mass index)+0.5119×(smoking experience, years)+0.5103×(hemoglobin level, g/l)+0.5901×(stab neutrophils, %)+0.5×(leukocyte T-cell index).Conclusion. Simple formulas have been obtained that can be successfully used to calculate the prognosis of the course of the disease upon admission to a hospital in a patient with tuberculosis with concomitant HIV infection.
Abundance of Xanthium spinosum L. along the different land types and its impacts on invaded plant communities in North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia
Authors: Assefa Amare , Tilaye Gebiyaw 
Published: January 2024

A biological invasion is a form of biological pollution that is most likely more terrible than chemical pollution. Xanthium spinosum is one of the most invasive alien plant species. However, its abundance and impacts on invaded plant communities have not yet thoroughly studied. This study aimed to investigate the abundance and impacts of X. spinosum on invaded plant communities in the North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. The study applied the quadrat method, sampling 80 main plots within 1 m2. Differences in mean cover-abundances of X. spinosum across various land types were compared using one-way-ANOVA followed by Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) Test. The results showed that roadsides and flooded areas exhibited the maximum mean cover-abundance of X. spinosum compared to farmland and rangeland. The number of plant species recorded was 106 in the control areas, compared to only 73 in the invaded areas. Hence, the number of plant species decreased by 31.13% in the infested area compared to the control. Thus, X. spinosum was among the factors contributing to the reduction of plant diversity, affecting the sustainability of biodiversity in the study areas. Therefore, implementing management measures against the spread of X. spinosum is to address the ongoing threat to biodiversity.

English is an international language used by the global community from various countries to communicate with each other by default. However, not all people living in tourism areas, including schoolchildren, have fluent English skills. Even though school children are the next generation, who will later develop tourism potential in the area, this service provides English language training to elementary school students in potential tourism areas in Belitung Regency. The community service method is in the form of pronunciation training and short conversations in English, delivered in English games and songs. As a result, children become more proficient in vocabulary and communicating briefly in English. The results of this study indicate that children can quickly master foreign languages if their learning is in the form of fun games or songs. So that English skills can begin to be applied to children and later will make it easier for them to communicate with foreign tourists who stop at these tourist sites.
JOB BURNOUT AND SATISFACTION AMONG SECONDARY TEACHERS: REGRESSION AND K-MEANS CLUSTERING ANALYSIS

Published: January 2024

Burnout on a teaching job refers to exhaustion that leads to depression which can affect the teacher’s well-being and satisfaction. This article looks into the level of job burnout and satisfaction of high school teachers during modular distance learning and determines its association at different levels. Cross-sectional primary data were gathered from a random sample of secondary teachers in Ormoc City, Leyte, Philippines. The gathered data were job burnout and satisfaction scores and described using standard statistical metrics. Moreover, correlation and regression analysis were employed to analyze its association, and K-means clustering was used to identify homogeneous categories of job burnout and satisfaction scores with similar characteristics. On average, results showed that the high school teachers were still “satisfied” despite the “high burnout” they were facing during the modular distance learning amid the pandemic. Using the correlation analysis, it is revealed that teachers’ satisfaction and burnout are significantly and inversely correlated to each other. This implies that the burnout level adversely affects the satisfaction in teaching. Based on regression analysis, there is a decrease of 0.653 units in the satisfaction perception score for every 1 unit increase in the burnout perception score and it is significant at a 1% level. It is depicted in K-means clustering that teachers’ satisfaction and burnout levels are compact and converge to the interpretation that they were highly burnout yet satisfied in modular distance learning. Hence, the study suggests that teachers' tasks during distance education must be lessened to increase their well-being as educators.

Published: January 2024

Aims
Septal myectomy is the treatment of choice for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Around 30–60% of patients with HOCM have a secondary mitral valve regurgitation due to systolic anterior motion (SAM). We report our experience with extended septal myectomy and its impact on the incidence of concomitant mitral valve procedures.

Methods
This is a retrospective study on 84 patients who underwent SM from January 2008 to February 2022. Surgical procedure was performed according to the concept of ‘extended myectomy’ described by Messmer in 1994. Follow-up outcomes in terms of survival, hospital admissions for heart failure or MV disease, cardiac reoperations, and pacemaker (PMK) implantation were recorded.

Results
Mean age was 61 ± 15 years. Mitral valve surgery was performed in seven cases (8%); particularly only one patient without degenerative mitral valve disease underwent mitral valve surgery, with a plicature of the posterior leaflet. In-hospital mortality was 5%. Mitral valve regurgitation greater than mild was present in four patients (5%) at discharge. Twelve-year survival was 78 ± 22%. Cumulative incidence of rehospitalization for heart failure and rehospitalization for mitral valve disease was 10 ± 4 and 2.5 ± 2.5%, respectively. PMK implantation was 5% at discharge, with a cumulative incidence of 15 ± 7%. Freedom from cardiac reoperations was 100%.

Conclusion
Septal myectomy for HOCM is associated with good outcomes. Although concomitant surgery on the mitral valve to address SAM and associated regurgitation has been advocated, these procedures were needed in our practice only in patients with intrinsic mitral valve disease. Adequate myectomy addresses the underlying pathophysiology in most patients.
Genetics of Tooth Size
Authors: Townsend Grant C. 
Published: January 2024

Summary
This paper summarises the findings of a genetic study of tooth size in a group of Australian Aboriginals. Measurements were obtained from a total of 392 dental casts collected as part of a longitudinal growth study of Aboriginals living at Yuendumu, a settlement town in the Northern Territory of Australia. Family data were compiled from genealogical records gathered over a number of years. The custom of polygyny practised by the Yuendumu people enabled the analysis of associations between both full-siblings and half-siblings.
Similarities between related individuals were expressed in terms of correlation coefficients. Values of average correlations for both mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions conformed with the theoretical correlations expected assuming autosomal polygenic inheritance. No evidence of sex chromosomal involvement was found. Heritability estimates for permanent tooth size were derived and the contribution of common environment to the observed phenotypic variability estimated. Results obtained from full-sibling, half-sibling and parent-offspring data suggested that approximately 50 to 60 per cent of the total variability of permanent tooth size could be attributed to additive genetic effects, while an additional 14 per cent was due to common environment.
Although the genetic contribution to tooth size variability is high, the findings have indicated that non-genetic factors also play an important role in the determination of this metric character.
Cephalometric appraisal for craniofacial Imbalances in orthodontic & surgical anomalies
Authors: Darryle Bowden B. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The clinical application of a cephalometric analysis developed to define the areas of craniofacial imbalance is described. Data was derived from computer analysed serial data from lateral radiographs of 60 boys and 64 girls from 2 to 20 years of age and from other surgical and orthodontic cross sectional data. The cephalometric analyses are illustrated on a “normal” 18 year old female and on a 24 year old male with a maxillary deficiency and with severe mandibular overclosure, pre and post operatively. The methodology determines variations in cranial base, orbit and zygoma positions, craniofacial divergence, maxillary and mandibular positions, relations and size, dental arch size and position and the effects of the combined parameters on the soft tissues of nose and lips.
BEDDTIOT: The state of the art, 1980
Authors: Hocevar Richard A. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The Begg-Edgewise Diagnosis Determined Totally Individualized Orthodontic Technique was developed in an attempt to assimilate and enhance the best aspects of the Begg and various Edgewise techniques, and to eliminate their deficiencies. The appliance is a combination of six different narrow brackets with horizontal slots (.022″ × .028″) and 0°, 3°, 7°, 11°, 17° and 22° degrees of torque. The brackets have a vertical, slot (.020″ × .020″) for auxiliary springs. In some cases double Edgewise buccal tubes (.022″ × .028″) on molar teeth are used with about 24° of angulation between the two tubes; triple tubes may be employed if required in the upper arch for extra-oral force. The appliance is illustrated with the records of seven cases presented, including non-extraction and extraction treatment plans. The cases illustrate the technique’s utilization in minimum, moderate and maximum anchorage situations, and various combinations of elastics, together with sectional Edgewise wires. The use of square and ribbon arch wires in preference to Edgewise configurations is also discussed.
Orthodontic silver brazing alloys
Authors: Broctturst Peter J. , Pham Hung L. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Orthodontic silver brazing alloys suffer from the presence of cadmium, excessive flow temperatures, and crevice corrosion on stainless steel. Seven alloys were examined. Two alloys contained cadmium. The lowest flow temperature observed was 629°C for a cadmium alloy and 651 °C for two cadmium free alloys. Three alloys had corrosion resistance superior to the other solders. Addition of low melting temperature elements gallium and indium reduced flow temperature in some cases but produced brittleness in the brazing alloy.
Early relapse following sagittal split advancement
Authors: Richard Hing N. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Early relapse following bilateral sagittal split advancement (BSSA) was assessed by evaluating the cephalograms of 47 patients. The records were assigned to either screw fixation (SF: n=25) or wire osteosynthesis (WF: n=22) groups and subdivided if additional Le Fort I osteotomy was performed. 9 skeletal parameters were evaluated. The results showed that there were relatively minor differences between the screw and wire osteosynthesis groups in the first 6 weeks following surgery. Relapse of 11 percent and 22 percent was recorded respectively but this difference was not statistically significant.
Relapse was not correlated with the preoperative mandibular plane, altered posterior facial height, gonial angle or changes in gonial arc radius in either group. A clear association between condylar displacement and relapse tendency was not expressed. This suggests that whilst condylar position remains important, early postsurgical relapse is due to multifactorial influences.

Abstract
An in vitro evaluation of bond strength of a glass polyalkenoate cement to human dental enamel and stainless steel is reported. Shear testing of adhesive strength was measured over time at 23°C following a one minute mixing time.
It was found that there is a significant difference in bond strengths between enamel and stainless steel with strength to enamel the greater. Bond strength increases with time with very low strength measured within 30 minutes from commencement of mixing.
Intrusion and apical resorption of mandibular incisors in Begg treatment: anchorage bend or curve?
Authors: Lew Kenneth 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
A statistical evaluation of the apical root resorption in mandibular incisors following Begg treatment in one group with anchorage bends and another group with anchorage curves showed no statistical difference. Although the overbite reduction in both groups were similar, the anchorage curve group was statistically more efficient in incisor intrusion when compared to the anchorage bend group (p<001).

Published: January 2024

Abstract
In business, quality has demonstrated to be troublesome to characterize. Numerous people relate quality with a few degrees of enormity or common prevalence, whereas others see it as basically the nonattendance of fabricating blemishes. The American National Benchmarks Established (ANSI) and the American Society for Quality Control (ASQC) built up the official definition of quality in 1978.
Concurring to the overview, either the administration and parent company inside or the client remotely give these businesses with the inspiration to execute quality control. Due to a need of specialized understanding, the businesses are not utilizing six sigma strategies or capability ponders. The capacity to degree item determination satisfaction, the comfort of utilize of the procedure, and the capacity to address squeezing quality and efficiency issues are the three contemplations that these companies consider when choosing a quality control approach.
Finite Difference Method for Solving the Two-Dimensional Laplace Equation in Curvilinear Coordinates
Authors: Tcaciuc Gabriel-Dumitru , Popescu Aristotel 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper presents a numerical method for solving the two-dimensional Laplace equation in curvilinear coordinates using a finite difference scheme. Laplace equation is a differential equation used to describe various physical phenomena studied within different branches of engineering. The two-dimensional Laplace equation has analytic solutions only for simple shaped domains and simple boundary conditions (first and second kind). Even so, the results are usually complicated to interpret and use. The present paper proposes a method to solve the equation for domains bounded by complex inner and outer curves. The boundary curves are defined by a set of points from which the equations of curves are approximated by using Fourier series. The domain is generated by blending the two curves using a blending function. The results are a set of continuous parametric equations which are defining the domain in angle and radius variables. Following a method presented in the literature, the Laplace equation is transformed from Cartesian coordinates to curvilinear coordinates, as the Fourier series is easily differentiable. Next, the new Laplace equation is approximated using the finite difference method and a MATLAB code is developed to solve the system of linear equations using successive over-relaxation method (SOR). The presented method is used to simulate steady two-dimensional heat conduction in a polygonal shape domain, with uniform and non-uniform Dirichlet boundary conditions. Results are analyzed in order to determine the model’s precision, speed and convergence criteria.
