Dental occlusion characteristics in subjects with bruxism
Authors: Cadar Mihai , Almăşan Oana 
Published: May 2023

Background and aims. Bruxism is associated with a variety of factors, some of which are oral (occlusion, joint, face shape) while others are of a systemic nature (respiratory, cardiac, neurotransmitters, stress). The relationship between bruxism and occlusion has received great attention, but it still has a lot of ambiguity. This study aimed at investigating the parameters that may affect bruxism: dental interferences or premature contacts, vicious habits, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, TMJ noises, TMJ morning fatigue, snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, which may occur before bruxism, or because of chronic parafunction.
Methods. We conducted an observational, analytical case-control study to determine the association between bruxism and oral cavity factors as well as general factors. Participants were chosen from a group of middle-aged Romanian population. An online questionnaire was used for data collection. A total of one hundred subjects were included in the sample. Fifty cases with bruxism were chosen as a study group, and another fifty persons of similar ages were chosen as a control group. Statistical analysis was performed using the MedCalc version 20.110 software.
Results. The study comprised subjects between 18 and 42 years old. The most prevalent age range was between 20-25 years. The female-male ratio was almost similar; 62% of the participants had sleep bruxism, 10% had awake bruxism and 28% had a combined form. The arithmetic means of the daily stress levels for both research groups’ scores were 3.0 for the bruxism group and 3.24 for the control group, while the work stress was 3.04 for the bruxism group and 3.41 for the control group. Dental interferences or premature contacts, vicious habits, TMJ pain, TMJ noises, TMJ morning fatigue, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea were evaluated. The majority of subjects received an oral splint (n=26).
Conclusions. Bruxism was associated with stress, occlusal parameters (premature contacts and occlusion interferences), and joint pathologies. Bruxism was not found to be positively correlated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. There was a moderately significant association between bruxism and snoring. There was no evidence of an association between bruxism and vicious habits, dental aesthetics, or obstructive sleep apnea. Treatment significantly improved the quality of life, the masticatory and joint functions.

Authors: Moral Jiménez María de la Villa , González Carreño Celia 
Published: May 2023

Antecedentes: Hay múltiples factores que influyen en el consumidor durante el proceso de compra y se ha confirmado que las señales visuales median en gran parte de sus decisiones, siendo el color uno de los elementos con más poder de persuasión. El objetivo del presente estudio ha sido valorar la influencia del color como recurso empleado en las estrategias diseñadas desde el ámbito del marketing sensorial, así como la construcción de dos tipos de perfiles de consumidor con la finalidad de dirigir estas estrategias de forma más específica. Metodología: Se contó con una muestra de 452 participantes con un rango de edad comprendido entre 18 y 74 años (X = 42,98; DT = 15,351) que respondieron sobre sus hábitos y conductas de consumo, así como sobre la percepción de la influencia del color en el proceso de compra. Resultados: Se ha confirmado el valor del color como transmisor de información, además de su potencial implicación a la hora de establecer una buena vinculación emocional consumidor-producto-marca. Aquellos consumidores con un perfil de tipo más emocional están más influenciados por el uso del color en las estrategias de marketing que aquellos con un perfil más racional. Se ha comprobado la valoración positiva de los productos en los que existe congruencia entre el color del paquete y el sabor, olor o la categoría del producto esperados, así como la percepción de más innovadores en aquellos en los que se producía incongruencia entre los mismos. Conclusiones: Se valora la importancia del color del producto en la toma de decisión de los consumidores, de ahí que se incida en su valor como recurso desde el marketing sensorial.
Systematic Sampling of Large-Scale LiDAR Point Clouds for
Semantic Segmentation in Forestry Robotics
Authors: Mukhandi Habibu , Ferreira Joao Filipe , Peixoto Paulo 
Published: May 2023

Recently, new semantic segmentation and object detection methods have been proposed for direct processing of three-dimensional (3D) LiDAR sensor point clouds. LiDAR can produce
highly accurate and detailed 3D maps of natural and man-made environments and is used for sensing
in many contexts due to its ability to capture more information and its robustness to dynamic changes
in the environment. In addition, the cost of LiDAR sensors has decreased in recent years, which is
an important factor for many application scenarios. The challenge with 3D LiDAR sensors like the
Velodyne HDL-64E S2 is that they can output large 3D data at up to 1,300,000 points per second,
which is difficult to process in real time when applying complex algorithms and models for efficient
semantic segmentation. Most existing approaches are either only suitable for relatively small point
clouds or rely on computationally intensive sampling techniques to reduce their size. As a result,
most of these methods do not work in real-time in realistic field robotics application scenarios, making
them unsuitable for practical applications. Systematic point selection is a possible solution to reduce
the amount of data to be processed, but although it is memory and computationally efficient, it selects
only a small subset of points, which may result in important features being missed. To address this problem, we propose a new approach to semantic segmentation in forestry that uses a systematic sampling method in which the local neighbors of each point are retained to preserve geometric details. Our approach has been shown to process up to 1 million points in a single pass. It outperforms the state of the art in efficient semantic segmentation in large datasets such as Semantic3D. We also present a preliminary study on the performance of LiDAR-only data, i.e., intensity values from LiDAR sensors without RGB values for semi-autonomous robot perception.
Seeking The Authentic Christianity: A Prologue on Coptic Orthodox Christianity in Indonesia
Authors: Gunawan Gun Gun , Epafras Leonard Chrysostomos 
Published: May 2023

<p>The history of Christianity in Indonesia is inextricably linked to that of Western colonialism. Due to this historical fact, Christianity has been stigmatized in Indonesian mainly by Muslim society as a colonial religion. This stigma later emerged in a number of Indonesian Christian communities. This study will look at the development of Coptic Orthodox Christianity in Indonesia through the lens of a religious purification movement. This study employs a sequential mixed research method that includes interviews, questionnaires, observation, and documentation. This study show that the conversion of mainstream Christians to Coptic Orthodox Christianity arose from a perception that mainstream Christianity was impure, too westernized, and did not conform to the identity of Indonesians as Easterners. This study ends with a conclusion that the presence of the Coptic Orthodox Christian community in Indonesia was exacerbated by an identity crisis, moral criticism, and rejection of the truth system in mainstream Christianity, as well as a desire to return to authentic Christianity.</p>
VISION 2030: SAUDI ARABIA’S MODERNIZATION
Authors: Hidayat Nadiya Azahra , Machmudi Yon , Soekarba Siti Rohmah 
Published: May 2023

The Saudi Arabia Kingdom has a long history of applying Islamic law as a reference for state policies. The modernization that has taken place in Saudi Arabia certainly intersected with Wahhabism, adopted as the central ideology of the Saudi Arabia Kingdom. This study discusses Saudi Arabia's modernization efforts, which were initiated by Muhammad bin Salman’s Vision 2030. This study was designed with a descriptive-qualitative research method and used a literature review as the data collection technique. The theories used include Talcott Parsons' structural, functional theory with a decision-making process approach and the modernization theory by Inglehart and Welzel. The results revealed that the reign of King Salman and the Saudi Arabia Kingdom implemented Vision 2030 as a modernization of Muhammad bin Salman. Saudi Arabia's administration has gone through considerable changes from time to time. Societies once known to be conservative were able to quickly implement the economic and social reforms that began to lead to a liberal system. This is owing to the king's great power and the assurance of state welfare.
A Novel Autophagy-related Genes Signature Regulates the Differentiation Trajectory and Immune Landscape of Glioblastoma
Authors: Wen Chunxia , Wang Li , Hua Shi , Meng Zhen , Tang Ranran 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The regulatory role of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) on the differentiation trajectory and immune landscape of glioblastoma remained obscure. This research identified 11 ARGs differentially expressed in glioblastomas; LASSO and Binomial regression analysis identified five core ARGs (EGFR, HSPB8, CTSB, DNAJB1, and MYC) that affect the prognosis of gliomas. Enrichment analysis suggested that ARGs can activate malignant tumor-related signal pathways, including gliomas, while biological processes regulate autophagy and apoptosis. Subsequently, based on scRNA-seq data from CGGA, this study identified that macrophage M2 dominated the immune landscapes in the glioblastoma differentiation trajectory. After consistent clustering established the ARGs-based molecular subtypes, ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT results suggested that ARGs were associated with macrophage M2 polarization and affected the prognosis of glioma. Finally, ARGs-based nomograms were established to predict the incidence and prognosis of glioma. AUC and DCA prove the validity of nomograms. In conclusion, EGFR, HSPB8, CTSB, DNAJB1, and MYC as ARGs were associated with the M2-dominated immune landscape in glioblastomas and were influential in predicting the incidence and prognosis of glioma.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Seeds of rice (Oryza sativa L.) have been treated with cold atmospheric plasma in air both directly in a dielectric barrier discharge and indirectly by gliding arc discharge through plasma activated mist. Comparisons of impacts of the two methods on germination and physiological parameters of rice seeds are presented. Plasma has been found to increase seeds hydrophilization and water uptake through decrease of liquid contact angles on seed’s coat and increase of total surface free energy. FTIR measurements on seed’s coat show increase of OH, lipids, and carbohydrates for indirect plasma exposure more than direct one as compared to untreated samples. Germination and seedling growth parameters investigations also indicate superiority of indirect over direct plasma exposure. During indirect operation despite the lowering of water uptake, the germination is enhanced due to higher nitrate and nitrite values formed in water mist. Plasma also enhances production of substances contributing to osmotic protection of plants against abiotic conditions such as Proline and soluble sugar. A positive correlation was found between proline and ROS in direct and indirect plasma exposure. The accumulated proline in the plants can adapt with the stress of lack of water because of the low content in lipid peroxidation level giving negative correlation. Indirect exposure of rice seeds by plasma activated mist shows enhanced effects on germination and physiological changes of increasing antioxidants substances which in turn increase the tolerance against abiotic stress. Indirect plasma application through water mist may be more practical on large seed numbers than direct one.
Isolation and Characterization of Paenibacillus peoriae JC-3jx: An Endophytic Bacterium from Dendrobium nobile with Antibacterial and Growth-Promoting Potential
Authors: ZhiPing Li , Yuan Lin , FeiFei Song , RuoNan Zheng , QinGeng Huang 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Dendrobium is an important source of natural components with high medicinal value. While numerous endophytic fungi associated with these plants have been extensively studied, research on endophytic bacteria remains limited. In this study, an improved tissue separation method was used to isolate endophytic bacteria from Dendrobium nobile and enrich the resources of high-quality biocontrol bacteria with both antibacterial and growth-promoting effects. We assessed the inhibitory effect of the isolated bacteria on pathogenic bacteria and fungi using agar diffusion and plate confrontation methods. We further investigated the growth-promoting effect of bacterial suspensions at various concentrations on corn seeds and Dendrobium nobile plantlets. The obtained endophytic bacterium, JC-3jx, isolated for the first time from the stem of Dendrobium nobile, exhibited significant inhibitory activity against the tested indicator bacteria. Morphologic and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the closest similarity of JC-3jx to Paenibacillus peoriae, leading to its final identification as Paenibacillus peoriae JC-3jx. This bacteria exhibited varying degrees of inhibition against the six pathogenic plant fungi tested, achieving a significant 56% inhibition rate against Pyricularia oryzae. Furthermore, the sterile fermentation supernatant of JC-3jx demonstrated pronounced inhibitory activity against the three tested pathogenic bacteria, particularly the gram-negative Escherichia coli. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the bacterial suspension of JC-3jx significantly promoted the rooting of corn seeds and the growth of Dendrobium nobile plantlets, indicating its excellent antibacterial and growth-promoting potential.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Taking advantage of the Raman resonance effect, we employed 405 and 532 nm excitations to (1) identify sulfur species present in lazurite, haüyne, and synthetic ultramarine blue pigments and (2) investigate the enigmatic ~485 cm–1 band found previously in Raman spectra of lazurite and haüyne collected with 458 nm excitation. In spectra of lazurite and haüyne, bands of the sulfate ion and S2− and S3− radicals can be seen. Spectra collected using 405 nm excitation show the enhancement of the intensity of ν1(S2−) band and its nν1 (n ≤ 7) progression. Spectra collected using 532 nm incident light show the enhancement of intensity of ν1(S3−), ν2(S3−), and ν3(S3−) bands and the nν1 (n ≤ 9) and ν2 + nν1 progressions of the ν1(S3−) band. In spectra collected with 405 nm excitation, we also found features that we ascribe to the S42− polysulfide ion. These include the ν1 symmetric S-S stretching band at ~481 cm–1, the ν2 symmetric S-S stretching band at ~443 cm–1 (only present in spectra of some lazurite samples), the ν3 symmetric S-S bending at 223 cm–1 and the nν1 (n ≤ 5) and nν1+ν3 progressions of the ν1(S42−) band. We observed that under laser illumination, the S42− polysulfide ion rapidly decomposes into two S2− radicals in lazurite while it remains stable in haüyne. In spectra of synthetic ultramarine blue pigments, only features of S2− and S3− radicals were observed. Finally, we verified the identity of the radical and polysulfide ions with ab initio molecular dynamics calculations. We conclude that Raman resonance spectroscopy is a powerful qualitative method to detect polysulfide and sulfur radical species with concentrations below the detection limit of conventional analytical techniques. Owing to the high stability of S42− in haüyne, this mineral structure appears promising as a host material for S42− entrapment, making it potentially useful for applications in optoelectronics.
Do health concerns stemming from personality trait influence the choice of drinking water at home? An analysis of the survey results conducted in the Tokyo area under the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Suzuki Koji 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Many previous studies have already pointed out that health concerns influence people's choice of drinking water. The health concerns discussed in the preceding studies are those that are associated with the choice of a particular type of water. On the other hand, people also experience health concerns in their daily lives, unrelated to the choice of drinking water. These two need to be discussed separately, but preceding studies have failed to make a distinction. In this study, we refer to the former as ‘health concerns attributable to water characteristics’ and the latter as ‘health concerns stemming from personality traits.’ The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship, if any, between people's health concerns stemming from personality traits and their choice of drinking water. We use three types of health concerns that are stemming from personality traits (e.g. health maintenance, pesticide residues in food, and COVID-19 infection) to elucidate their influences on the choice of drinking water. Based on the results of the analysis, this study reveals that the influence of health concerns stemming from personality traits on the choice of drinking water differs depending on its typology.
Analysis of the Interaction of UBE2Q1 with B4GALT1 and P53:
Experimental and Molecular Modeling Study
Authors: Ghasemi Hadi , Seghatoleslam Atefeh , Fahmideh Kar Mohammad Ali , Mahbudi Laleh , Fard Behrouz Gharesi , Jamshidi Mahdi 
Published: May 2023

Background:
UBE2Q1-dependent ubiquitination of key proteins including β1,4-
galactosyltransferase (GalT1), and P53 might play a pivotal role in cancer development.

Objective:
The present study aimed to evaluate the molecular analysis of possible interactions
between UBE2Q1 with B4GALT1 and P53 proteins.

Methods:
We established SW1116 colorectal cancer cell line stably transfected with UBE2Q1. To
verify the overexpression of UBE2Q1, we performed western blot and fluorescent microscopy
analysis. Using the immunoprecipitation (IP) product of the over-expressed protein on the silver
staining gel, we observed the potential interacting partners of UBE2Q1. The Molecular Operating
Environment (MOE) software was also used to perform the molecular docking of the UBC domain of
UBE2Q1 (2QGX) with B4GALT1 (2AGD), and P53 (tetramerization (1AIE) and DNA binding
domains (1GZH)) proteins.

Results:
Western blot and IP analysis detected a UBE2Q1-GFP band in transfected cells, while no
band was detected for mock-transfected cells. Moreover, the overexpression of UBE2Q1 tagged with
GFP was observed under fluorescent microscopy as well with about 60-70% shining. Silver staining
of IP gel revealed several bands in colorectal cancer (CRC) with UBE2Q1 overexpression. Protein-
Protein interaction (PPI) analysis also depicted a high affinity of the UBC domain of UBE2Q1 to the
B4GALT1 and P53 (tetramerization and DNA binding domains). Molecular docking also revealed
hot-spot regions for all poses.

Conclusions:
Our data suggest that UBE2Q1 as an E2 enzyme of ubiquitination system can interact
with B4GALT1 and P53, and may contribute to the accumulation of misfolded important proteins and
colorectal tumor development.
