Root resorption of maxillary incisors after en masse intrusion and retraction with controlled tipping versus bodily movement in adults
Authors: Sadek Mais Medhat 
Published: November 2023

INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the incidence of orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) after en masse maxillary incisors intrusion and retraction with controlled tipping versus bodily movement using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

MATERIAL AND METHODS:
This study is a retrospective study performed on CBCT scans of 36 adult females who had their maxillary first premolars extracted followed by en masse anterior retraction and intrusion using labial biocreative therapy type II. Subjects were divided into two groups of 18 subjects each based on the type of tooth movement required during en masse retraction: Group I; the controlled tipping group, and Group II; the bodily movement group. The amount of intrusion, crown and root retraction, change in incisor inclination, and difference in tooth length was measured from the CBCT scans. Independent t tests were used to compare the measurements between the two groups. Pearson rank correlation analysis was applied to identify the relationship between the mean dental changes and the mean changes in tooth length for all four upper incisors.

RESULTS:
OIIRR was found in all four maxillary incisors in both groups. No significant differences were found between the two groups. OIIRR was positively correlated to the amount of root apex retraction and negatively correlated to the change in incisor inclination.

CONCLUSIONS:
Anterior retraction and intrusion lead to obvious root resorption affecting all maxillary incisors. No significant differences were found between the two groups. Careful clinical monitoring is needed for patients requiring anterior retraction with intrusion with maximum anchorage.
Prevalence of canine impaction in the western province of Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional survey
Authors: Aljehani Dareen Khalid 
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND/AIM:Canine tooth impaction could have a negative influence on the stomatognathic system and could make it difficult for clinicians to manage malocclusions. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the prevalence of canine impaction, which could be a cause of malocclusion, in the population in the western province of Saudi Arabia.METHODS:A retrospective analysis of digital orthopantomograms (OPGs) of 400 patients aged 12–40 years, who are citizens of Saudi Arabia residing in the western province and who presented for treatment at the dental clinics of Batterjee Medical College, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia were included. The OPGs and dental records of these patients were reviewed for canine impaction and were categorized based on age, gender, and type of impaction.RESULTS:The prevalence of patients that exhibited canine impaction was found to be 4%. Males had a significantly higher percentage of prevalence than females (P< 0.016), and impaction was significantly higher among patients aged below 18 years (P< 0.001). Moreover, the most commonly observed impaction was mandibular canine impaction (87.5%).CONCLUSIONS:Prevention of malocclusion and maintenance of a normal dentition (better aesthetics and chewing) necessitates early detection of impacted canines.
Bayesian cognitive science
Authors: Colombo Matteo 
Published: November 2023

Bayesian cognitive science is a research programme that relies on modelling resources from Bayesian statistics for studying and understanding mind, brain, and behaviour. Conceiving of mental capacities as computing solutions to inductive problems, Bayesian cognitive scientists develop probabilistic models of mental capacities and evaluate their adequacy based on behavioural and neural data generated by humans (or other cognitive agents) performing a pertinent task. The overarching goal is to identify the mathematical principles, algorithmic procedures, and causal mechanisms that enable cognitive agents to take uncertainty into account and weigh it appropriately in producing adaptive behaviour.
The appeal of Bayesian cognitive science derives from its transparency, normativity, and unifying power. Resources from Bayesian statistics allow cognitive scientists to characterise transparently, in terms of random variables and probabilistic dependencies between them, the inductive problems that many mental capacities are presumed to solve. Given this characterisation, researchers can define an upper bound on one’s performance on that problem and use it as a benchmark for interpreting experimental results, formulating hypotheses about why and when deviations from optimal performance should be expected, and seeking explanations of mental capacities within one encompassing theoretical framework.
Although critics question the testability, explanatory power, and plausibility of Bayesian models of mental capacities, Bayesian cognitive science has proved itself to be an incredibly fruitful research programme. Fuelled by empirical and theoretical results from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science, artificial intelligence, and evolution, Bayesian cognitive science has: advanced our understanding of why cognitive systems should keep track of uncertainty and use it to facilitate adaptive behaviour; clarified how the brain might encode information about the uncertainty of its stimuli and perform computations with probability distributions; and crystallised the insight that cognitive agents’ management of uncertainty might be grounded in predictive processes aimed at avoiding surprising exchanges with the environment.

Urban agriculture not only plays an important role in creating sustainable cities but also influences the spatial structure of urban landscapes and communities. One of the small-scale (community) urban agriculture activities is community gardening. In Bandung City, this activity was initiated by the Bandung Gardening community. One of the work programs that can be done for the Bandung gardening community is to make a hydroponic salad. Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants using water without using soil. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. The results showed that hydroponics is an efficient and effective method to produce high-quality salads in an urban environment like Bandung. Hydroponic plants tend to grow faster than those in soil, with higher yields and better nutritional quality. The success of this hydroponic technique is supported by the reduced use of water and less land compared to traditional farming. Hydroponic systems work by allowing control over environmental conditions, such as temperature, pH balance, and maximizing exposure to nutrients and water. Despite being grown in a water medium, hydroponic farming can actually save water. This is because the water used is not absorbed by the soil. The water is absorbed by the plants better. Hydroponic farming is also more energy-efficient because it is done without non-renewable energy such as electricity.
Abstrak: Pertanian perkotaan tidak hanya memainkan peran penting dalam menciptakan kota yang berkelanjutan tetapi juga mempengaruhi struktur spasial lanskap perkotaan dan masyarakat. Salah satu kegiatan pertanian perkotaan skala kecil (masyarakat) berupa kebun masyarakat. Di Kota Bandung kegiatan ini digagas oleh komunitas Bandung Gardening. Salah satu program kerja yang dapat dilakukan untuk komunitas berkebun Bandung adalah membuat salad hidroponik. Hidroponik adalah budidaya tanaman dengan menggunakan air tanpa menggunakan tanah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hidroponik merupakan metode yang efisien dan efektif untuk menghasilkan salad berkualitas tinggi di lingkungan perkotaan seperti Bandung. Pertumbuhan tanaman hidroponik cenderung lebih cepat daripada yang dalam tanah, dengan hasil panen yang lebih tinggi dan kualitas nutrisi yang lebih baik. Keberhasilan teknik hidroponik ini didukung oleh pengurangan penggunaan air dan lahan yang lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan pertanian tradisional. Sistem hidroponik bekerja dengan memungkinkan kontrol atas kondisi lingkungan, seperti suhu, keseimbangan pH, dan memaksimalkan paparan nutrisi dan air. Meski ditanam di media air, bercocok tanam hidroponik sebenarnya bisa menghemat air. Hal ini dikarenakan air yang digunakan tidak terserap oleh tanah. Air diserap oleh tanaman lebih baik. Pertanian hidroponik juga lebih hemat energi karena dilakukan tanpa energi tak terbarukan seperti listrik.

Abstract. To tackle the pressing atmospheric science issues currently and in the future, a robust scientific community is necessary in all regions across the globe. Unfortunately, this does not yet exist. There are many geographical areas that are still underrepresented in the atmospheric science community, many of which are in the Global South. There are also larger gaps in the understanding of atmospheric composition, and processes through to impacts in these regions. In this opinion, we focus on two geographical areas in the Global South to discuss some common challenges and constraints, with a focus on our strengths in atmospheric science research. It is these strengths, we believe, that highlight the critical role of Global South researchers in the future of atmospheric science research.
Hydrological Modeling and Evaluation of Water Balance Over the Complex Topography of Nile Basin Headwaters: The Case of Ghba River, Northern Ethiopia

Published: November 2023

Water resource evaluation, management, and conservation at the local, national, and international levels depend on an accurate understanding of the hydrological processes. In data-poor environments and topographically complicated areas like the Ghba subbasin in the headwaters of the Nile River, the function of hydrological models is crucial. The primary goal of this study is to use the WEAP model to simulate the hydrology of the Ghba basin. This is because recent hydrological behaviour has changed significantly and resulted in a serious water deficit. The minimal satisfactory performance limit for the monthly stream flow variable was strongly attained by the multi-variable calibration scenario (R2 = 0.82, NSE = 0.82, IA= 0.80 RSR = 0.87 and PBIAS = 9 % for calibration scenario; and R2 = 0.78, NSE = 0.81, IA= 0.70 RSR = 0.80 and PBIAS = 11.5 % for validation scenario). Evapotranspiration makes up 63.4% of the water balance, according to the model simulation, while surface runoff, interflow, baseflow and groundwater recharge accounting for 11.1 %, 11.8%, 5.4% and 8.3 %, respectively. The simulated average annual streamflow at the subbasin outlet is 16.33 m3/s. The simulated monthly minimum flow occurs in January with an average flow of 1.78 m3/s and a coefficient of dispersion of 0.45. Maximum flows occur in July and August, with an average flow of 53.57 m3/s and a coefficient of dispersion of 0.19. The main rainy season was shown to have a larger spatial distribution of simulated runoff, and the average annual recharge value is 53.5 mm. The study's conclusions indicated that both surface water harvesting and groundwater extraction might be used for reliable water distribution to the subbasin's continuously increasing sectoral water demand.

Published: November 2023

Background Delirium is common among patients in intensive care units. Antipsychotics have been shown to reduce the incidence of delirium in post-operative patients. We set out to compare the efficacy of risperidone to placebo in preventing delirium in critically ill patients admitted to a medical ICU. Methods This double-blind, randomised controlled trial compared prophylactic low-dose risperidone to placebo in critically ill patients. Patients were screened daily for delirium using a validated screening tool (CAM-ICU), and the incidence of delirium was compared between groups. Results Forty-five patients were recruited. Baseline demographic characteristics, diagnosis and severity of illness were not statistically significantly different between groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of delirium, adverse events or complications. Conclusion In this study, low-dose risperidone did not prevent the incidence of delirium. As delirium is a heterogeneous syndrome, a single intervention may not be effective across subtypes and aetiologies (ISRCTN17375500) Key Message Prophylactic risperidone did not reduce the incidence of delirium in ICU patients in this small study. As delirium is a heterogeneous syndrome, a single intervention may not be effective across subtypes and aetiologies.

Published: November 2023

Cette étude compare quatorze modèles de Valeur à risque (ci-après VAR) mensuelle des marchés boursiers canadiens et américains dans l’optique d’un gestionnaire de portefeuille institutionnel. Notre analyse
se concentre sur l’importance de quatre caractéristiques des modèles VAR par simulations historiques avec filtre, une des approches les plus prometteuses. Nos résultats montrent que les modèles VAR mensuelle par simulations historiques avec un filtre quotidien de type GARCH sont les seuls à ne pas être rejetés à l’égard de tous les tests de performance effectués. Parmi ces modèles, la spécification GARCH asymétrique, qui s’avère la plus conservatrice, indique que les indices S&P/TSX Composite et S&P500 ont une probabilité de 5 % d’une perte moyenne respective d’au moins 7,4 % et 6,7 % de leur valeur sur un mois.
