Treatment of peri-implantitis: Fiction or reality? Part 2: Adjuncts and decontamination approaches in the non-surgical and surgical management of peri-implantitis
Authors: Sousa Vanessa , Beltrán Víctor , Mardas Nikos , Nanayakkara Lochana , Donos Nikolaos 
Published: December 2023

Treatment protocols for peri-implantitis include various decontamination procedures of the exposed implant surface, and their application is dependent on the stage of implant therapy, involving both non-surgical and surgical interventions, as appropriate. These implant surface decontamination procedures may be delivered using different approaches, such as mechanical/physical, chemical, photo/mechanical, adjuncts, or combinations thereof. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we reviewed the available evidence for the non-surgical and surgical management of peri-implantitis. In Part 2, we discuss different approaches for implant surface decontamination. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The pre-operative risk identification and management at both patient and site level, early diagnosis and regular supportive peri-implant care are fundamental for long term implant success and survival.
A review and clinical tips on gingival retraction methods
Authors: Rana Shivani , Bassi G Steven 
Published: December 2023

Gingival retraction is commonly employed in dentistry. There are several methods that may be used, which fall into mechanical, chemo-mechanical and surgical techniques. The application of these methods depends on the clinical activity the clinician is performing, and there are advantages and disadvantages to each method. This review reflects on the current literature available on gingival retraction methods to provide clinicians with guidance on which methods to consider when undertaking the three most common clinical scenarios: master impression taking; cementation of indirect restorations whether tooth or implant retained; and for direct adhesive dentistry.CPD/Clinical Relevance: Selecting an appropriate gingival retraction method, for example for master impression taking, cementation of restorations and in adhesive dentistry is of value.

Authors: Martins Maria de Lurdes da Costa , Pinto Sara 
Published: December 2023

Background: To describe the use of a telephone consultation (TC) hotline for palliative care (PC) patients and their families at home provided by a PC service, during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods: Observational and cross-sectional study of a TC hotline performed by a PC service from 1 January to 31 December 2020. Data was collected through a record sheet completed during the call. Descriptive analyses were performed using the SPSS software (V.21 for Windows). Results: A total of 494 calls were retrieved (n=187 patients; 6500 minutes recorded). Compared to 2019, incoming calls increased 33.8%. Most callers were a family member (n=419) or a community health worker (n= 60). The peak of calls was registered in April (13.5%), May (13.2%) and October (15.0%). Main problems included uncontrolled symptoms (81.9%), need for medication (8.6%), information (4.8%) and consultation rescheduling (2.6%). In 81.9% of the cases, the call occurred during a crisis. The PC team solved 92.9% of the problems. Only 20 patients were admitted in the emergency department (this was 30.5% less compared to 2019). Conclusions: The TC is a feasible alternative to traditional in-person follow-ups. Callers considered it very useful, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown. Communication was improved and admissions to emergency services were reduced.
Continuum of care in hard-to-heal wounds by copper dressings: a case series
Authors: Melamed Eyal , Borkow Gadi 
Published: December 2023

Objective: The quest for an ideal wound dressing has been a longstanding challenge due to the complex nature of wound healing, including stages of haemostasis, inflammation, maturation and remodelling, with overlapping timelines. This makes it difficult to find a single dressing that optimally supports all phases of wound healing. In addition, the ideal wound dressing should possess antibacterial properties and be capable of effectively debriding and lysing necrotic tissue. Copper is an essential trace element that participates in many of the key physiological wound healing processes. Method: Copper stimulates secretion of various cytokines and growth factors, thus promoting angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation, extracellular matrix proteins secretion and re-epithelialisation. Harnessing this knowledge, we have used copper oxide-impregnated wound dressings in numerous cases and observed their benefits throughout the entire wound healing process. Results: This led us to postulate the ‘continuum of care’ hypothesis of copper dressings. In this study we describe four cases of hard-to-heal wounds of various aetiologies, in which we applied copper dressings consistently across all stages of wound healing, with rapid uneventful healing. Conclusion: We believe we have successfully implemented the continuum of care principle.

Optimal layout scheme design of distribution network micro PMU based on information entropy theory
Authors: Yang Chen , Dong Xiaofeng , Zhu Qiong , Zhou Li , Li Junting 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper proposes a design method of distribution network micro PMU optimal layout scheme based on information entropy theory, realizes the optimal configuration of distribution network micro PMU, accurately reflects the operation status of distribution network, and ensures the smooth operation of power system. On the premise that the number of PMUs is the least and the distribution network is completely observable, the dynamic characteristics of uncertain nodes such as distributed generation in the distribution network and the existing traditional measurement equipment and measurement information are comprehensively considered, and the information entropy theory is used to measure and evaluate the uncertainty of the distribution network. The distribution network micro PMU distribution point set taking into account the network uncertainty is selected based on the information entropy evaluation method. In the round by round iterative solution, greedy algorithm is used to select the node with the lowest distribution network uncertainty from the existing network nodes in each round as the installation node of the distribution network micro PMU, and obtain the installation node set of the micro PMU, so as to complete the design of the distribution network micro PMU optimal layout scheme. The experiment shows that the optimal distribution network micro PMU layout scheme designed by this method can effectively realize the optimal configuration of PMU, and can realize the full observability of the distribution network with a small number of PMU configurations.
The development of syntactic complexity of Chinese JFL learners based on Mean Dependency Distance and Mean Hierarchical Distance
Authors: Yang Xiaomin , Li Wenping 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Mean dependency distance (MDD) and mean hierarchical distance (MHD) are two linguistic measures used in dependency syntax studies to investigate the syntactic features of compositions written by English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. However, their applicability and validity in differentiating proficiency levels and genre effects among Japanese as a foreign language (JFL) learners remain unknown. This study uses a longitudinal dataset that tracks 110 Chinese JFL learners over 12 months and examines their syntactic development as well as the effects of genres. The results indicate that both MDD and MHD effectively capture developmental and genre effects; moreover, both measures show significantly higher values in argumentative writing than narrative writing. However, the extent of genre effects over time is not the same in MDD and MHD. The findings provide new insights into the developmental characteristics of JFL learners’ interlanguage and may contribute to evaluating syntactic complexity and developing automatic evaluation systems.
Hebrew offensive language taxonomy and dataset
Authors: Liebeskind Chaya , Vanetik Natalia , Litvak Marina 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis paper introduces a streamlined taxonomy for categorizing offensive language in Hebrew, addressing a gap in the literature that has, until now, largely focused on Indo-European languages. Our taxonomy divides offensive language into seven levels (six explicit and one implicit level). We based our work on the simplified offensive language (SOL) taxonomy introduced in (Lewandowska-Tomaszczyk et al. 2021a) hoping that our adjustment of SOL to the Hebrew language will be capable of reflecting the unique linguistic and cultural nuances of Hebrew. The study involves both linguistic and cultural analysis beyond Natural Language Processing (NLP). We employed manual linguistic analysis to understand the nuances of offensive language in Hebrew.An accompanying dataset, gathered on Twitter and manually curated by human annotators, is described in detail. This dataset was constructed to both validate the taxonomy and serve as a foundation for future research on offensive language detection and analysis in Hebrew. Preliminary analysis of the dataset reveals intriguing patterns and distributions, underscoring the complexity and specificity of offensive expressions in the Hebrew language.The aim of our work is to capture the complexity and specificity of offensive expressions in Hebrew beyond what automated NLP methods alone can provide. Our findings highlight the significance of considering linguistic and cultural variations when researching and correcting abusive language online. We believe that our streamlined taxonomy and associated dataset will be crucial in improving research in Hebrew language sociocultural studies, natural language processing, and offensive language detection. Our study also makes a substantial contribution to the study of low-resource languages and can be used as a model for future research on other languages.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
With the great success of graphene, two-dimensional (2D) materials, thanks to their fascinating electronic and optoelectronic properties, have aroused extensive attention among the scientific community. Broad research efforts have proven the enormous potential of 2D materials in optoelectronics, electrochemistry, spintronics, energy storage, catalysis, biomedicine, and many other fields. Driven by the promising applications of 2D materials, there has been an emerging trend toward nanofabricating 2D materials with customized parameters, which are essential for tailor-making controllable artificial nanostructures used in building sophisticated 2D material systems. As the most commonly used solid probe lithography technique, atomic force microscopy (AFM) integrates visualization and multi-mode fabrication within one system, demonstrating its superior capability in the nanofabrication of 2D materials. In view of this, in this review article, we offer a brief introduction to how AFM nanofabrication works and the classification of AFM nanofabrication techniques by the tip-sample surface interaction. Following that, we discuss the results of 2D material nanofabrication by mechanical, thermal, electrical, and other AFM techniques in which external stimulations are applied on special AFM probes.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review the current state of legal acts on electronic document management in China. The authors analyzed its development from the point of view of state institutions, enterprises, and universities. The article is a review of the literature from open access. For many scientists, this is very valuable first-hand material that allows you to learn and understand the current state of development of legislative acts. There is little literature on electronic document management in China in current databases, especially on the state of development of electronic document management at enterprises, government institutions, and universities. The conclusion is formulated about the whole legal system of electronic document management in China, which successfully operates in the country. Nevertheless, the issue of more effective development of electronic document management in China under state regulation needs further study. In the end, constructive proposals for the further development of electronic document management in China are recommended.
Effect of Resistance Training Programs With Equated Power on Older Adults' Functionality and Strength: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract
Fraga-Germade, E, Carballeira, E, and Iglesias-Soler, E. Effect of resistance training programs with equated power on older adults' functionality and strength: a randomized controlled trial. J Strength Cond Res 38(1): 153–163, 2024—This study aimed to compare the effect of 2 training programs of equated power but differing in load intensity on older adults' functionality, strength, performance, and body composition. Forty-four active (23 female) older adults (66.3 ± 4.5 years) were randomly assigned to low-load high-velocity (LL-HV), high-load low-velocity (HL-LV), and control (CON) groups. Low-load high-velocity and HL-LV performed, twice weekly for 5 weeks, a resistance training program at 95% of their individual peak power (PP) but with different load intensities for 3 exercises: chest press (CHP), leg press (LP), and seated row (SR). Before and after the intervention, body composition, functional performance, maximal voluntary isokinetic force (MVF), PP, and a relative load-power profile (L-PP) were evaluated for every exercise. PP similarly improved in the experimental groups for SR and LP (p < 0.05). Both groups increased their MVF for the 3 exercises (p < 0.05). Positive effects on L-PP were observed in LL-HV for SR (p = 0.009) and HL-LV for LP (p < 0.001). CON decreased its global power performance in SR (p = 0.009) and CHP (p = 0.031) compared with the baseline. Both experimental groups improved Timed Up and Go performance (p < 0.05), but only HL-LV increased 6-minute walking performance (pre: 514.3 ± 89.0 m, post: 552.6 ± 65.4 m; p < 0.05). In conclusion, adding short-term power training (i.e., 10 sessions throughout 5 weeks) with loads slightly above the optimal load to nonsupervised multicomponent training might improve active older adults' functional performance and cardiovascular endurance.

Abstract
Ortega, DG, Housh, TJ, Smith, RW, Arnett, JE, Neltner, TJ, Anders, JPV, Schmidt, RJ, and Johnson, GO. The effects of a sustained, isometric forearm flexion task to failure on torque and neuromuscular responses at 3 elbow joint angles. J Strength Cond Res 38(1): e25–e33, 2024—This study examined the effects of a sustained, isometric forearm flexion task anchored to torque to task failure on maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and neuromuscular responses at 3 elbow joint angles. Eleven women (mean ± SD: age = 20.8 ± 2.7 years, height = 169.3 ± 7.4 cm, body mass = 67.7 ± 6.9 kg) performed two 3s forearm flexion MVICs at elbow joint angles (JAs) of 75°, 100°, and 125° before and after a sustained, isometric forearm flexion task to failure at a fatiguing joint angle of 100° anchored to a torque value that corresponded to a rating of perceived exertion of 8 (RPE = 8). The amplitude (AMP) and mean power frequency (MPF) of the electromyographic (EMG) and mechanomyographic (MMG) signals were recorded from the biceps brachii. Repeated-measures ANOVAs were used to compare mean differences for MVIC and neuromuscular parameters. Collapsed across JAs, MVIC (p < 0.001) and EMG MPF (p = 0.006) pretest values were greater than posttest values. Collapsed across time, EMG MPF at JA75 was greater than JA100 (p < 0.001) and JA125 (p < 0.001), and JA100 was greater (p = 0.007) than JA125. For EMG AMP, there was a fatigue-induced decrease at JA75 (p = 0.003). For neuromuscular efficiency (NME = normalized torque/normalized EMG AMP), there were decreases from pretest to posttest at JA100 (p = 0.002) and JA125 (p = 0.008). There were no significant interactions or main effects for MMG AMP and MMG MPF. From these findings, it was hypothesized that the decline in MVICs at JA75, JA100, and JA125 was due to fatigue-induced metabolic perturbations that resulted in JA-specific neuromuscular responses. Thus, neuromuscular parameters may provide insight into the JA-specific mechanisms of fatigue.

Abstract
Herring, CH, Beyer, KS, Redd, MJ, Stout, JR, and Fukuda, DH. Utility of novel rotational load-velocity profiling methods in collegiate softball players. J Strength Cond Res 38(1): 136–145, 2024—The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of bat swing (BS) and rotational medicine ball throw (RMBT) load-velocity profiling (LVP) methods and explore relationships with batting performance in NCAA Division I softball players. Bat velocity was tracked with a swing sensor during the BS method, whereas an inertial measurement unit (IMU) tracked forearm velocity during the BS and RMBT methods. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used for relative reliability, and coefficient of variation (CV) was used for absolute reliability. With the exception of theoretical maximum velocity (V
0) using the average of top 2 peak velocities (PVavg) during the RMBT, no LVP variables were found to be reliable during the RMBT or BS method using the IMU (ICC ≤0.7; CV ≥15%). For the BS method with the swing sensor, all bat loads and V
0 had acceptable reliability using peak velocity (PV) and PVavg (ICC >0.7; CV <15%), whereas all LVP variables were highly related between the multiple-load and two-load models when using PV and PVavg (r = 0.915–0.988; p < 0.01). There were significant relationships (r = 0.603–0.671; p < 0.05) between PV using the 0.99 Kg bat load and V
0, and several in-game batting statistics. Practitioners may use the BS with the swing sensor as a rotational LVP assessment, although they should be cautious of aiming to improve batting performance in collegiate softball players based on the correlations reported until further research is performed.

Abstract
Bontemps, B, Gruet, M, Louis, J, Owens, DJ, Miríc, S, Vercruyssen, F, and Erskine, RM. Patellar tendon adaptations to downhill running training and their relationships with changes in mechanical stress and loading history. J Strength Cond Res 38(1): 21–29, 2024—It is unclear whether human tendon adapts to moderate-intensity, high-volume long-term eccentric exercise, e.g., downhill running (DR) training. This study aimed to investigate the time course of patellar tendon (PT) adaptation to short-term DR training and to determine whether changes in PT properties were related to changes in mechanical stress or loading history. Twelve untrained, young, healthy adults (5 women and 7 men) took part in 4 weeks' DR training, comprising 10 sessions. Running speed was equivalent to 60–65% V̇O2max, and session duration increased gradually (15–30 minutes) throughout training. Isometric knee extensor maximal voluntary torque (MVT), vastus lateralis (VL) muscle physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) and volume, and PT CSA, stiffness, and Young's modulus were assessed at weeks 0, 2, and 4 using ultrasound and isokinetic dynamometry. Patellar tendon stiffness (+6.4 ± 7.4%), Young's modulus (+6.9 ± 8.8%), isometric MVT (+7.5 ± 12.3%), VL volume (+6.6 ± 3.2%), and PCSA (+3.8 ± 3.3%) increased after 4 weeks' DR (p < 0.05), with no change in PT CSA. Changes in VL PCSA correlated with changes in PT stiffness (r = 0.70; p = 0.02) and Young's modulus (r = 0.63; p = 0.04) from 0 to 4 weeks, whereas changes in MVT did not correlate with changes in PT stiffness and Young's modulus at any time point (p > 0.05). To conclude, 4 weeks' DR training promoted substantial changes in PT stiffness and Young's modulus that are typically observed after high-intensity, low-volume resistance training. These tendon adaptations seemed to be driven primarily by loading history (represented by VL muscle hypertrophy), whereas increased mechanical stress throughout the training period did not seem to contribute to changes in PT stiffness or Young's modulus.
