Published: July 2023

Introduction In the new globalized world, noise pollution has started to become a public health problem. We searched for publications about noise pollution in our study. In our study, we examined the noise pollution articles in the Web of Science (WoS) database.
Material and Methods A total of 2722 papers were identified which were published between 2001 and 2020, finally, 1815 articles were analyzed. VOSviewer (version 1.6.11) tool used for bibliometric web visualizations.
Results When trend analysis was applied to the number of articles by years, a statistically significant increase was detected. The United States contributed the most publications. The countries with the most articles per million population were determined to be Scotland, Singapore, and Ireland, respectively. Most articles on noise pollution were published in the journal Applied Acoustics. The three most used keywords are “noise pollution”, “noise” and “traffic noise”.
Conclusions This study showed that there has been a trend of an increasing number of articles on noise pollution in recent years. Also it can be considered that this bibliometric study will help identify gaps in the current research data.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
We report the first high-sensitivity H i observation toward the spiral galaxy M94 with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope. From these observations, we discovered that M94 has a very extended H i disk, twice larger than that observed by THINGS, which is accompanied by a H i filament and seven high velocity clouds (HVCs) at different distances. The projected distances of these clouds and filaments are less than 50 kpc from the galactic center. We measured a total integrated flux (including all clouds/filament) of 127.3 ( ±1) Jy km s−1, corresponding to a H i mass of (6.51 ± 0.06)×108
M
⊙ , which is 63.0% more than that observed by THINGS. By comparing numerical simulations with the H i maps and the optical morphology of M94, we suggest that M94 is likely a remnant of a major merger of two galaxies, and the HVCs and H i filament could be the tidal features that originated from the first collision of the merger, which happened about 5 Gyr ago. Furthermore, we found a seemingly isolated H i cloud at a projection distance of 109 kpc without any optical counterpart detected. We discuss the possibilities of the origin of this cloud, such as dark dwarf galaxy and RELHIC (REionization-Limited H i Cloud). Our results demonstrate that high-sensitivity and wide-field H i imaging is important in revealing diffuse cold gas structures and tidal debris, which is crucial to understand the dynamical evolution of galaxies.

Authors: Bhavsar Bhavika A. , Patnaik Tulika , Sharma Pranjely , Vijo Mary , Abdulla Ashfaque , Hussain Anju S. 
Published: July 2023

Background:
The objective of the study is to compare stress distribution in a tooth restored with everstick post and sharonlay by means of three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA).

Materials and Methods:
An experimental original study was carried out in which two 3D-FEA models were constructed: (1) tooth restored with everstick post and metal ceramic crown and (2) tooth restored with sharonlay. The material properties were assigned and a force of 100N, 200N, 300N, and 400N was applied to the centric stop of the occlusal surface in centric occlusion at a 45° inclination in a linguolabial direction to the long axis of the tooth. Analysis was run and the stress distribution pattern was studied. As all stress distribution analysis was performed with the Ansys 11.0 software (Inventor AutoCAD 2010; Autodesk) program, the significance of P value or tests for statistical analysis was considered.

Results:
Sharonlay showed more total deformation, larger stress, and strain concentration than that of everstick post.

Conclusion:
Tooth restored with sharonlay showed greater chances of deformation than everstick post. It also showed maximum strain concentration near the apical portion of the remaining tooth structure and more stress in the cervical third of the postsystem than everstick post.

Authors: Khozeimeh Faezeh , Nezhad Zahra Golestan , Dehghan Parvin , Tabesh Adel , Kheirkhah Mahnaz , Jamshidi Mina , Chermahini Ahmad Amiri , Sadeghalbanaei Leila , Golestannejad Zahra 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Radiotherapy is a common treatment for head-and-neck malignancies and causes complications such as oral candidiasis and the change of oral Candida species from albicans to nonalbicans. Voriconazole has acceptable antifungal effect. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the antifungal effect of nystatin with voriconazole on these species.

Materials and Methods:
The samples used in this in vitro study were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism from patients before and 2 weeks after head-and-neck radiotherapy in Seyed Al-Shohada Hospital. The antifungal effect of nystatin and voriconazole was determined by microdilution method and measurement of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration, and the results were analyzed by Mann–Whitney analysis.

Results:
The results showed that all species before and after radiotherapy showed 100% sensitivity to nystatin. Prior to radiotherapy, 57.1% of albicans species isolated were in the sensitive range (MIC ≤1) and 42.9% were in the dose-dependent range (MIC = 2) to voriconazole. After radiotherapy, 58.3% of albicans species were in the sensitive range and 41.7% of these species were in the dose-dependent range to voriconazole.

Conclusion:
The results of the present study showed that before radiotherapy, all species were sensitive to nystatin, while a percentage of albicans and nonalbicans were resistant to voriconazole. In the 2nd week of radiotherapy similar to prior to radiotherapy, all species isolated from patients were sensitive to nystatin, while a percentage of albicans and nonalbicans were resistant to voriconazole.

Authors: Kheradmand Elham , Daneshkazemi Alirea , Davari Abdolrahim , Kave Maede , Ghanbarnejad Solmaz 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Patient demand for esthetic dental treatments is increasing, and among different techniques, tooth bleaching is a popular procedure for smile improvement. There is a controversy over the demineralizing effect of hydrogen peroxide (HP) containing bleaching agents on tooth enamel. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of HP and its combinations with hydroxyapatite (HA) and bioactive glass (BG) on enamel demineralization and tooth color changes.

Materials and Methods:
Three groups of 20 teeth were used. Bleaching regimens included HP alone, HP + HA, and HP + BG. Bleaching was repeated at six periods of 15 min. Energy dispersive spectrometry was performed to evaluate calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, and fluoride content of superficial enamel before and after bleaching. Tooth color was evaluated by spectrophotometer before and after bleaching and ΔE values were calculated. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 17.

Results:
Ca and P content was increased significantly in group HP + BG (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in ΔE values between the three groups (P > 0.05).(p value = 0.34).

Conclusion:
Addition of BG to HP can increase superficial enamel mineral content after bleaching and has no effect on tooth color changes in comparison to HP alone.
The effect of fabrication methods (conventional, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing milling, three-dimensional printing) and material type on the fracture strength of provisional restorations
Authors: AhmadAbadi Monireh Nili , Goharifar Akram , Mahabadi Meysam 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Fracture is the most common reason for the failure of provisional restorations. This study aimed to assess the effects of the fabrication method (conventional, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing [CAD/CAM] milling, three-dimensional [3D] printing) and material type on the fracture strength of provisional restorations.

Materials and Methods:
In this in vitro study, 60 provisional restorations were made through the conventional (Tempron and Master Dent), CAD/CAM milling (Ceramill and breCAM.HIPC) and 3D Printing (3D Max Temp) methods based on a scanned master model. The provisional restorations were designed by the CAD unit and fabricated with milling or 3D printing. Then, an index was made based on the CAD/CAM milling specimen and used for fabricating manual provisional restorations. To assess the fracture resistance, a standard force was applied by a universal testing machine until the fracture occurred. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test were used to compare the groups (α = 0.05).

Results:
The mean fracture strength was significantly different among the five groups (P < 0.001), being significantly higher in the breCAM.HIPC group (P < 0.001), followed by the Tempron group (P < 0.05). However, the three other groups were not significantly different (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Despite the statistical superiority of some bis-acrylics over methacrylate resins, the results are material specific rather than category specific. Besides, the material type and properties might be more determined than the manufacturing method.

Authors: Mortazavi Mojgan , Rouhani Mohammad Hossein , Seirafian Shiva , Motamedifard Reyhane , Hosseini Mohsen 
Published: July 2023

Background:
Poor sleep quality is a common issue among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who undergo dialysis. Nutritional habits are associated with sleep hygiene in patients undergoing dialysis. The objective of this study was to examine the potential correlation between nutritional status and sleep quality in individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study included 160 hemodialysis patients. A food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to measure food intake in participants. The Persian-validated version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. Patients were classified as poor or good sleepers with a PSQI score of <5 and >5, respectively.

Results:
Eighty-four percent of hemodialysis patients had bad sleep hygiene. There was a significant association between sleep quality and educational status and age (P < 0.001). Poor sleepers were older (61.65 years versus 51.12) and less educated (31.1% versus 4%). However, there was no significant difference in the intake of micro- and macronutrients between poor and good sleepers (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
The results of this study suggest that sleep quality has no significant relationship with nutrient intake in hemodialysis patients. Demographic factors, such as age and educational status, have played a more effective role than nutritional factors in patients' sleep quality.
The Association of Demographic Characteristics with the Rate of Weight Loss and Changes in Nutritional Factors (Albumin, Vitamin D3, Ferritin) one Year after One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass
Authors: Sayadishahraki Masoud , Salehi Atefe 
Published: July 2023

Background:
The effect of bariatric surgery on weight loss (WL) of patients with severe obesity is an established finding. However, some studies have shown that other factors such as demographic characteristics can also be involved in the extent of success and relapse of obesity. Thus, this study was performed to determine the association of demographic characteristics with the rate of weight loss and changes in nutritional factors one year after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB).

Materials and Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, 121 patients undergoing OAGB were investigated. Patients' body mass index (BMI), nutritional factors (including levels of albumin, vitamin D3, and serum ferritin), and demographic characteristics were measured one year after the surgery.

Results:
The BMI one year after surgery was significantly lower than before surgery (47.12 ± 5.08 kg/m2 vs. 29.42 ± 3.86 kg/m2; P value <0.001). WL was 37.37 ± 6.70%. In addition, the serum level of vitamin D3 one year after surgery with the mean of 44.54 ± 17.25 was significantly higher than its level before surgery with the mean of 38.13 ± 14.42 (P value <0.001). WL in less than 50 years old and married patients was significantly higher than WL in over 50 years old and single patients (P value <0.05). Moreover, the decrease in serum ferritin level with the mean of 1.90 ± 0.56 ng/ml in women was significantly higher than its decrease with the mean of 3.02 ± 0.94 ng/ml in men (P value = 0.003).

Conclusion:
Some demographic characteristics such as age, gender, and marital status seem to affect the rate of weight loss or ferritin level one year after OAGB.

Laporan keuangan utama yang dihasilkan dari proses akuntansi adalah neraca, laporan rugi-laba, dan juga laporan aliran kas. Neraca dibuat dengan maksud untuk menggambarkan posisi keuangan suatu organisasi pada suatu saat tertentu. Pembiayaan adalah sumber pendapatan bank syariah yang terbesar, namun sekaligus merupakan sumber risiko operasi bisnis yang terbesar, yaitu timbulnya
Pembiayaan bermasalah, karena dengan adanya pembiayaan bermasalah bukan saja menurunkan pendapatan bagi bank syariah tetapi juga akan berdampak pada
kesehatan bank syariah dan pada akhirnya akan merugikan nasabah penyimpan. profitabilitas bank merupakan kemampuan bank dalam mendapatkan keuntungan dalam suatu periode. rasio “Return On Assets“(ROA) yang dipakai guna mengukur kemampuan bank dalam memperoleh laba dan melakukannya secara efisien secara keseluruhan. Rasio likuiditas sering digunakan dalam dunia perbankan diperoleh dari “Loan to Deposit Ratio” (LDR). Namun “Loan to Deposit Ratio” (LDR) itu sendiri digunakan untuk objek penelitian pada bank konvensional, sedangkan jika bank syariah menggunakan istilah berbeda yaitu “Financing to Deposit Ratio “(FDR).””Non Performing Financing” (NPF) pada bank syariah atau pada bank konvensional disebut “Non Performing Loan (NPL) merupakan rasio keuangan yang berkaitan dengan resiko kredit. Non Performing Financing” (NPF) menunjukan risiko pembiayaan yang akan dihadapi bank akibat dari penyaluran pembiayaan dan investasi dana bank. Capital adequacy ratio digunakan untuk mengukur kemampuan permodalan yang ada untuk menutup kemungkinan kerugian di dalam kegiatan perkreditan dan perdagangan surat-surat berharga.

Estimating Job Satisfaction and Commitment Correlate of Senior Staff Members of the University for Development Studies, Tamale, Ghana
Authors: Abdallah Yussif , Alhassan  Ibrahim 
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Employees’ Job Satisfaction (JS) is becoming an important asset to an organisation, especially in the recent past. All other things being equal, satisfied employees are likely to be more productive as a result of citizenship and/or loyalty, decreased-absenteeism, high-commitment and so on. With the knowledge that a positive relationship may exist between employees JS and their commitment, it becomes imperative that management of universities institute measures to regularly collect data on employees’ JS. Thus, this study examined Senior Staff (SS) JS and their commitment relationship in the University for Development Studies (UDS), Tamale.
Methodology: A structured questionnaire was administered to 231 Senior Staff (SS) members of the University. Of this number, which was determined using the Taro Yamane’s formula for sample size determination, valid data retrieved and analysed represented a response rate of 92 per cent (212). Whilst the study employs One-Way ANOVA to compare the JS and the commitment level among the SS employee group to the University, Correlation and Regression Analyses were performed to establish associations and to determine the cause-effect relationship between the two variables.
Findings: The results of the study indicated that 74 per cent of SS commitment is influenced by their satisfaction level. Thus, the study concluded that the management of the University should priorities staff JS in almost all its corporate decisions, as this will engender their commitment to the University.
Unique Contribution to Practice and Policy: Organisational Commitment (OC) with all its dimensions (affective, continuance and normative) were confirmed to have a positive relationship with the JS of SS of a multi-campus public university; suggesting that OC does not only predicts JS in terms of teaching staff, as indicated by previous studies, but it also does so even with SS (who are in the non-teaching category). It was, therefore, recommend, based on the findings of this study, that the management of the UDS should priorities staff JS in almost all its corporate decisions, as this will engender their commitment to the University.
