Retention Evaluation of Implant-Supported Mandibular Overdenture Using Two Different Attachment Systems: An in Vitro Study
Authors: Ali Taban , Othman Kawan 
Published: December 2023

Objective: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the retentive behavior of implant-supported overdenture using two different attachment systems (locator and milled bar-clip attachment system).
Methods: Six edentulous mandibular models were fabricated from cold‑cure PMMA; the denture-bearing area of the acrylic resin model was covered by an approximately 1.5 mm thick silicone resilient liner to simulate mucosa. The Study models were divided into three groups: Model A (locator), Model B (milled bar-clip attachment system without extension), and Model C (milled bar-clip attachment system with 1cm extension). However, for each study model, a complete mandibular denture was constructed. Anterior, posterior, and central dislodging forces were measured by digital force gauge at the beginning of the study (Initial retention) and after 540 courses of consecutive pulling and inserting the prosthesis (final retention), which was to simulate six months of overdenture use assuming three daily removals and insertions for oral hygiene practice.
Results: There were statistically significant differences in retention between the group models, and milled bar-clips attachment systems revealed the highest retentive capacity. However, after six months of simulated use, there was a significant retention loss; retention of Model B recorded the highest percentage loss of 55.1%, while Model A recorded the most minor retention loss of 24%.
Conclusions: The bar and clip attachment system offered higher retentive values than the locator attachment system. However, the retention loss was correlated to the particular attachment system, and the bar–clip attachment systems had the highest percent of retention loss. In contrast, the locator attachments were associated with acceptable retention, simplicity, and minimal retention.
Issues and Challenges in the Philippine Construction Industry: An Opportunity for BIM Adoption
Authors: DİMACULANGAN Erold 
Published: December 2023

The construction industry is widely regarded as the driving force behind global economic growth. The Philippines recorded a GDP increase of 11.8% in the second quarter of 2021. The construction industry is one of the main contributors, with a growth rate of 25.7%. However, the industry faces numerous challenges and issues, the most well-known of which involve the iron triangle of project management, attributed mainly to poor technology adoption, resulting in massive declines in productivity.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a popular technology with proven benefits, as demonstrated by countries that have mandated its use. However, BIM is said to be in its infancy in the Philippines. Construction professionals have a low level of awareness, and BIM is primarily used by firms that are outsourcing their services for international projects.
This study aims to identify construction industry issues and their degree of occurrence in Philippine construction. The study also seeks to determine the current state of BIM and identify the current BIM applications to resolve these issues. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach involving a literature review and a structured survey. Data analysis includes Cronbach’s alpha for reliability testing, descriptive statistics, the Relative Importance Index (RII), and Kendall’s W test.

Published: December 2023

Solid wastes make the most important environmental problems caused by human all over the world. In recent years, the amount of solid waste has been increasing in Elazig day by day with rise in the population and industrialization.
The solid waste managing systems contain the methods such as proper storage, recycling, processing the solid waste by means of biological methods (compost), and disposal with thermal methods (burning, gasification, and pyrolysis). Of these methods, the proper storage is the most common one in Elazig. By time, using up the oxygen within the wastes stored in the proper fields, the storage gas occurs as a result the decay without oxygen (anaerobic) with the help of anaerobic bacteria proliferate in this environment.
In this study, solid waste disposal methods have been investigated for storage gas by giving Elazig example.

Published: December 2023

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and has a strong genetic component with a prevalence of 6–10% in the general population. Metabolic disturbances are common in women suffering from PCOS: 30–40% have impaired glucose tolerance and IR with compensatory hyperinsulinemia, and as many as 10% will have type 2 diabetes mellitus by their fourth decade. Recently, vitamin D deficiency has been proposed as the possible missing link between IR and PCOS. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and hypovitaminosis D are the two most common endocrine disorders in young women leading to many adverse metabolic consequences. This study aims to estimate vitamin D3 levels in patients of polycystic ovarian disease and compare it with non PCOS females and to study correlation between Vitamin D3 levels and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Methods: The present patient population case control study was carried out in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Jaipur Golden Hospital diagnosed involving cases of PCOS and controls of non PCOS (48 each) by random sampling method from September 2019 to June 2021. History, general examination, systemic examination and Vitamin D levels was taken for each patient.
Results: Mean vitamin D value of cases was 14.57±6.86 ng/ml and that in controls was 29.31±6.53 ng/ml. When we compared the mean vitamin D value of both the groups, there was statistically significant difference found between the two groups. . We found significant negative correlation found between vitamin D value with age and BMI.
Conclusions: Hypovitaminosis D is very common in PCOS patients and exacerbates the metabolic abnormalities. It is essential to screen all the PCOS patients for 25OHD deficiency and institute appropriate replacement therapy to prevent the adverse consequences.

Published: December 2023

Neurological manifestations of dengue fever are seen in around 0.5-6% patients. Post dengue Gullain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is uncommon and only few cases of GBS have been causally linked to serologically confirmed dengue illness. We report a case of 51-year-old male with acute onset flaccid paralysis of all 4 limbs within 1 week of dengue fever, which worsened rapidly despite early initiation of IVIG. Patient became quadriplegic with bilateral LMN facial paralysis, needing intubation and ventilation. When patient did not improve even after 3 weeks of IVIG therapy, plasmapheresis was started and 5 exchanges were given over 10 days following which patient showed significant recovery and became ambulatory and independent at 6 months. In our case 2 dose of IVIG was not considered as his serum IgG levels were raised.Role of plasmapheresis in patients of GBS, responding poorly to IVIG needs further evaluation.GBS is an uncommon neurological manifestation of dengue fever. Role of plasmapheresis in patients who respond poorly to IVIG needs to be considered.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the health impacts and economic costs of implementing the scenarios of decommissioning end-of-life cars and motorcycles and equipping buses with soot filters in Tehran, one of the largest cities in the Middle East, over a period of ten years (2017-2026) using the AIRQ+ model.
Materials and methods: To start, the emission weights of Particulate matter (PM2.5) emitted from the vehicles mentioned in the scenarios were extracted from the Comprehensive National Action Plan for Reducing Air Pollution. Then the concentrations of PM2.5 were calculated using AERMOD. Finally, the AIRQ+ model was used to calculate the health effects of the scenarios over ten years.
Results: The results indicated that implementing the total of three scenarios during ten years led to a reduction in mortality rates due to all causes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), lung cancer, Acute Lower Respiratory tract Infection (ALRI), Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), and stroke by 14.89%, 6.16%, 31.51%, 19.5%, 16.5%, and 17.38%, respectively. In addition, decommissioning end-of- life cars and motorcycles separately led to a 6.75% and 6.53% reduction in deaths from all causes, 2.54% and 2.46% from COPD, 18.40% and 18.01% from lung cancer, 11.16% and 11% from ALRI, 12.82% and 12.69% from IHD, and 12.12% and 12.96% from stroke.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the implementation of these scenarios during ten years has positive effects on reducing deaths attributed by PM2.5 particles, but due to population growth, it has no effect on reducing economic costs.
A deterministic inventory model for deteriorating products with shortages and price dependent demand rate
Authors: Singh Dhrub Kumar 
Published: December 2023

Purpose of the study: The proposed model shows a deterministic approach of the inventory management in which the rate of the deterioration of the inventory commodities is proportional to time, demand rate is a function of selling price and inventory holding cost both, ordering cost and deterioration rate are all function of time. Here shortages are allowed during the lead time and completely backlogged. The optimum replenishment policy is to be determined which minimizes the total cost. The rate of deterioration has been considered as non-instantaneous and that follows the two parameters Weibull distribution. In the proposed model we aim to find optimal value of the inventory level to minimize the total effective cost.
Methodology: The optimal solution will have to be obtained by using Mathematica Software and has been illustrated using a numerical example.
Main Findings: Since lowering the selling price would result in increase in purchase of items by the customers, hence the selling price is the major criteria to determine their buying capacity.
Applications of this study: If researchers go on taking several kinds of variable costs etc., then hopefully they may find a new area of study in their research.

This study aims to describe classroom management for students with special needs and teachers' strategies in dealing with bullying in inclusive PAUD. Managing inclusive PAUD is different from regular schools in general. The presence of students with special needs in inclusive PAUD means that classroom learning must be targeted. Bullying is a serious problem for children because it can have a negative impact on its victims, including: Low self-esteem, excessive anxiety, and depression. Childhood is a fundamental period to prevent and stop bullying. The forms of bullying that occur include hitting, taking and snatching food, physical mocking, mocking nature, mocking abilities, ostracism, and incitement. Data was collected using interview, observation, and documentation This research is a type of qualitative research with a case study design. This research shows that classroom management in inclusive PAUD is quite good. This is evidenced by several strategies used by teachers: application of school rules and procedures, giving rewards and consequences, building a pleasant environment, interaction between teachers and students. In terms of structuring the physical condition of the classroom is quite good starting from the seating arrangement, room decoration, lighting and air circulation

Authors: KOSE Hamiyet , SIVRIKAYA Abdullah , MENEVSE Esma 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
It is aimed to investigate the levels of the sex hormones testosterone and the family of insulin-like proteins (relaxin family peptides), which are important in the puberty transition, in the testicular tissues of male offspring born to female rats fed a zinc-deficient diet during the pregnancy, and the changes in lipid peroxidation markers. Also, we aimed to determine the levels of relaxin family peptides and changes in oxidant markers in the liver tissue of male offspring.
The study was performed on 40 male offspring. Group I: Control group (n=10) Both male offspring and mothers (during their pregnancy and 21 days after giving birth) were fed with standard rat chow. Group II: Zinc deficient diet group (n=10). The offspring were fed a zinc-deficient diet (2.8 mg/kg zinc) after being separated from their mothers until the study was terminated (on the day 66th). Group III: Normal diet group (n=10). Male offspring fed standard rat chow for 45 days (66th day) after being separated from their mothers with a maternal zinc-deficient diet. Group IV: Zinc-supplemented diet group (n=10). Offspring fed with zinc supplemented (5 mg/kg/day intraperitoneal zinc sulfate, i.p.) in addition to standard rat chow after being separated from their mothers with maternal zinc deficiency until the termination of the study (66th day).
Our study suggests that zinc supplemented diets play an important role in the changes in INSL3, INSL7, RXFP1 and testosterone levels during spermatogenesis.

Authors: Probowati Wiwiek , Jayadi Tejo , Rustam Brenda Miriane 
Published: December 2023

Background Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was a new type of highly contagious disease that had a high risk of developing Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), COVID-19 can be transmitted mainly through aerosol particles contiguous to another human in one meter. To cope with this pandemic, the government programmed vaccinations around the world, including in Indonesia.
Objective This study provided new information about the description of the characteristics of adverse events following vaccination participation in vaccination COVID-19 first, second and booster doses.
Method This descriptive research was conducted using a cross-sectional method. Subjects were populations with various characteristics at Bethesda Hospital, Bethesda Lempuyangwangi Hospital, and the Jawa Dayu Christian Church who had received the COVID-19 vaccine. The data were univariately presented as a distribution table using the IBM SPSS - Statistical Program for Social Science Statistics 23.
Result From 400 respondents, the most common types of vaccine received during the first dose were Sinovac, the second dose of Sinovac, and the Moderna for booster dose.
Conclusion The first dose was the same as the second dose. Most felt drowsiness 87.9%, swelling and pain at the injection site 77.9%, and weakness at 60.4%. In phase 1 clinical research of the mRNA vaccine from Moderna, side effects occurred in more than 50% of vaccination participants in the form of fatigue, chills, headache, myalgia, and pain at the injection site, especially at higher doses.

The article discusses the dairy industry in the Chuvash Republic, Russia. The Russian Federation is experiencing a shortage of milk. Currently, the per capita milk consumption in the country is by more than a quarter behind the rational intake recommended by the Ministry of Health, which is 325 kg. However, the Chuvash Republic boasts 373 kg of per capita milk production, which is by 71% higher than the average data for the rest of the country, and the high quality of Chuvash milk is unanimously confirmed by leading domestic experts. The authors analyzed the success factors of milk production in the Chuvash Republic to be extrapolated on the entire domestic industry.
The research relied on such demographic data as the ratio of urban vs. rural population; dairy herd data, e.g., livestock population, farm types, dairy productivity, etc.; dairy production and processing business data. The methods included systematization, generalization, grouping, statistical data processing, and analysis of temporal dynamics indicators.
The Chuvash Republic has a large percentage of rural population and a lot of subsidiary dairy farms: 22 000 farms own more than 60% of dairy cows in the region and provide 55% of milk processing volumes. Subsidies allocated by the local government allow farm owners to ensure the high dairy productivity of cows. Most of the milk in the Chuvash Republic can be classified as near-organic. Leading regional milk producers have their own agricultural lands to provide environmentally friendly feed, as well as specialized premises for herd keeping and milking, retail outlets to sell their products, etc. A third of enterprises maintain the milk productivity at 7800–9200 kg, which is as high as in Denmark, the Netherlands, Great Britain, and Germany. Most Chuvash dairy farmers owe their high results to the state support funds allocated for the purchase of breeding cattle. The twelve largest milk producers in the region provide 100% of the output of drinking milk, so private farms mainly focus on meeting the needs of dairy processing enterprises. The latter also receive seasonal subsidies.
The Chuvash milk miracle can be explained by the following factors: big rural population; private subsidiary farms; high-quality breeding dairy livestock; high-quality feed; good milk production and processing equipment. However, the comprehensive system of state support measures remains the most important success factor.

Published: December 2023

Polyphenols are potential neuroprotectors that increase lifespan and slow down aging. Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a promising source of biologically active substances. Its extracts contain biochanin A and chlorogenic acid. This research used Caenorhabditis elegans to study the effect of polyphenols extracted from red clover callus cultures on SOD-3 and HSP-16.2 genes, as well as their anti-amyloid potential.
The chlorogenic acid and biochanin A (200, 100, 50, and 10 µM) with a purity of 95% were isolated from callus extracts of T. pratense L. The effect of polyphenols on SOD-3 and HSP-16.2 was assessed after 5 and 2 h of heat stress (35°C), respectively, using C. elegans N2 Bristol as model organism. The neuroprotective potential was measured by counting paralyzed nematodes after 18, 40, and 62 h of incubation.
The research established a dose-dependent effect between the concentration of biologically active substances and the percentage of paralyzed nematodes after 18 h of cultivation. The lowest paralysis phenotype count occurred at a concentration of 200 μM. The activity of 200 μM biochnin A was 1.18 times as high as that of a 200 μM chlorogenic acid solution. Biochanin A solutions increased SOD-3 expression by 3.7 times, compared to the control.
The biologically active substances exhibited relative neuroprotective activity and affected the expression of antioxidant defense gene in C. elegans.

Russian cuisine reflects the identity of its peoples. However, modern nutrition tends to level the multicultural peculiarities of Russian cuisine. This research objective was to identify the effect of packaging and storage time on the quality profile of instant turnip and rutabaga porridges.
The study featured quality indicators of food concentrates. Samples of instant porridges were packaged in sachet bags and cups made of complex materials. They were stored at a 20–25°C and a relative humidity of ≤75% for 8 months. The sensory, physicochemical, and microbiological variables were measured using standard research methods.
After 6 and 8 months of storage, the total sensory assessment for the porridge cups was higher by 1.0 and 2.0 points, respectively, than for the porridge sachets. The cups did not affect the moisture and fat content during storage. The recoverability of the cupped samples was higher by 10.9 and 14.2% after 6 and 8 months of storage, respectively. The mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microbial count for porridge cups fell by 11.0 times after 6 months of storage and by 3.2 times after 8 months of storage, compared to the sachets. The tests revealed no yeast, mold, Bacillus cereus, coliform bacteria, or pathogenic microorganisms.
Shelf-life had a greater effect on quality profile of instant porridge than packaging. In this research, the recommended shelf life for instant turnip and rutabaga porridges was 6 months. The effect of other packaging types and materials on food concentrates is a promising research direction.
