Relevance. Tooth extractions are one of the most common surgical procedures in dentistry. Tissue regeneration at the extraction site plays a vital role in restoring the affected area. Various methods are available to accelerate and improve the quality of tissue regeneration in dental practice. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived biomaterials provide a wide range of therapeutic and regenerative benefits due to their unique biological properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an ECM-derived biomaterial in promoting post-operative tissue regeneration after tooth extraction.Materials and methods. The study included two groups of patients: an experimental group (N = 46) and a control group (N = 46), all of whom underwent tooth extractions. The groups were compared based on two key parameters: the time required for complete wound surface healing and the time to achieve complete radiographic wound healing. Statistical analysis was conducted using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test for independent samples. The incidence of complications between the groups was analyzed using Fisher's exact test.Results. The analysis of wound surface healing times between the groups revealed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Post-operative tissue repair occurred at a significantly faster rate in the group treated with the extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived biomaterial compared to the control group.Conclusion. Tissue regeneration at the surgical site after tooth extraction is a manageable process. Advances in modern biomaterials have facilitated accelerated tissue healing and functional recovery, leading to improved quality of life for patients.

Abstract
Formation of an ultrathin Ni-silicide on SiO2 by exposing a Ni ultrathin film to pure SiH4 gas at 280 °C was tried. During the formation, impacts of Ni-film thickness and SiH4 exposure time on silicidation reaction were investigated. It was found that surface roughness depends on the Ni-film thickness, and that, in the case of the 3 nm thick Ni-film, a smooth surface was obtained even after the SiH4 exposure. Also, it was found that the silicidation reaction is limited between 3 and 5 min, and that, after the SiH4 exposure time more than 5 min, crystalline phase transition from the Si-rich Ni-silicide to the Ni-rich Ni-silicide and formation of Si-rich Ni-silicide with poor crystallinity were confirmed. Consequently, we successfully formed the ultra-thin Ni-silicide film with the smooth surface even at the low temperature.

Caravan politics in the depoliticised city: applying and opposing exceptional measures for Dutch Traveller, Sinti, and Roma caravan sites
This article analyses the depoliticisation of Dutch caravan politics, which has resulted in massive pitch shortages threatening the existence of the specific caravan housing culture of Dutch Travellers, Sinti and Roma groups. The rationality underlying the repressive governance of caravans is understood as a depoliticised affirmation of technocratic solutions to an unwanted and racialised housing culture. However, as in many other European countries, Dutch authorities have been summoned to work on Roma and Traveller inclusion programmes and address pitch shortages. The increased pressure on the Dutch government culminated in 2018 when it adopted a new framework that prohibits any further measures to repress caravan culture. In what follows, a situated account of depoliticised caravan politics – and resistance to it (i.e. re-politicisation efforts) – is presented by examining the case of Teersdijk, a large campsite in the city of Nijmegen.

Patient counseling is an integral part of pharmaceutical services at community pharmacies as community pharmacists are health care professionals most accessible to general public. In this cross sectional qualitative study counseling quality of pharmacists and senior pharmacy technician was evaluated by using pseudo patient method. The study was conducted for 12 weeks at 35 community pharmacies randomly selected from various areas of Lahore. Four diseases which are most prevalent in developing countries were selected for this study. This study revealed that pharmacists were present at 52% of pharmacies visited. Counseling was offered hundred per cent on demand. On 6% pharmacies pharmacy technician refused to counsel on demand. Frequency, administration and storage of drugs were counseled frequently. Parameters like drug’s side effects, disease complications, drug interactions and contraindications were rarely addressed. Quality of counseling was much better in pharmacies where pharmacists were present, pharmacists counseled effectively about dose, frequency, administration, storage, side effects, drug interactions and complications. In order to improve quality of counseling at community pharmacies presence of pharmacist designated for patient counseling should be mandatory and continuing education programs should be run to update pharmacist and pharmacy technician knowledge.

CIAS (CuInAlSe2) thin films were prepared by 1-step electrodeposition on ITO coated glass substrate by varying deposition potential to obtain low cost, uniform and compact crystallinity at room temperature. The 200ml solution has been prepared and operated at 0.55V to 0.95V deposition potentials. CIAS solution has been prepared at different molarity ratios varying from 0.1M to 1.0M solution and optimum results obtained at 0.5M molar solution. The results obtained from cyclic voltammetry reveals that quaternary compound having different reduction potential can be deposited in potential range 0.5V to 0.95V. XRD technique were used to study the structural, morphological properties of thin films that shows the strong evident of its crystalline nature having tetragonal pure phase with preferred orientation at (400) plane. The result showed that single phase having good stoichiometry can be produced in this potential range. The optical properties studied by ellipsometry technique revealed that the films are highly absorbing in visible and visible-infrared region by increasing deposition potential. The band gap calculation form absorption spectra were maintained at 1.11 to 1.32 eV which was excellent for good absorbing solar materials. Hall effect application van der pauw method used for electrical properties which show promising results for production of electricity by solar cells. The variation of deposition potential offers very effective change in band gap. Structural, morphological, electrical and optical properties were carried out to establish the suitability of thin films for solar cells fabrication.
Life history changes in the eastern collared lizard in response to varying demographic phases and management policies
Authors: Templeton Alan R. , Neuwald Jennifer L. , Conley Amy K. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBy 1980 eastern collared lizards (Crotaphutus collaris collaris) had experienced massive local extinction on glades (open, rocky areas imbedded in a woodland matrix) in the Ozarks, a highland region in central North America. Lizards were translocated to the Peck Ranch Conservation Area in Missouri on three restored glades starting in 1984, and went through three demographic phases: (1) an isolate phase with initial growth followed by decline in population size and no colonization of nearby glades; (2) a colonizing phase of high dispersal and population growth that started with the onset of prescribed woodland burning, and (3) a stable metapopulation phase. We used mark/recapture information on over 1500 lizards with high sample coverage to estimate life history parameters. Life history was homogeneous within each phase, but differed significantly between phases. Changes occurred in less than a generation, indicating plasticity in life history. The isolate phase was characterized by low juvenile survivorship, high adult survivorship, long generation times, an old age structure, and almost no dispersal. The colonization phase had increased yearling survival, decreased adult survival, shorter generation times, a younger age structure, and much dispersal. The stable metapopulation phase was intermediate between these two extremes. These transitions indicated trade‐offs among different life history parameters. These plastic life history attributes show that species cannot be regarded as static units, resulting in not a life history, but rather a set of feasible life histories. Ignoring this set of feasible life histories can result in poor conservation decisions.
Regulated photo/thermal dual and programmable staged responsive shape memory poly(aryl ether ketone)
Authors: Yang Shuai , He Yang , Leng Jinsong 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this paper, two types of photo/thermal dual and programmable staged responsive shape memory PAEK are fabricated. On one side, photosensitive cinnamic acid (CA) is grafted onto shape memory poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) chains to obtain PEAK‐CA with photo/thermal response. On the other hand, PAEK/CA composites are prepared via a facile physical blending as comparison. Both PAEK‐CA and PAEK/CA materials exhibit the excellent heat‐triggered (recovery ratio over 91.8%) and photo‐responsive shape memory effect (recovery ratio over 76.5%). More interestingly, the staged shape fixity and shape recovery behaviors can be realized by combining independent photo/heat responsive shape memory behaviors. Take the PAEK/CA for example, the irradiation with λ of 365 nm can be used for shape fixity, and shape recovery can be triggered by heating. Meanwhile, the fixation of the temporary shape of the sample can also be realized by heating–cooling process, and then the irradiation with λ of 365 nm is used for shape recovery. These photo/thermal dual and staged responsive shape memory PAEK materials could be widely utilized in fields of soft robots, smart actuators, and deformable devices.

Published: July 2023

AbstractPoly‐p‐phenylene‐(1,3,4‐oxadiazole) (POD) fibers have attracted tremendous attention due to the excellent thermal stability, however, their poor ultraviolet (UV) resistance seriously restricted the application. Some efforts have been devoted to improving the UV stability of POD, while the methods are generally too complicated or costly. This work applied a simple but effective approach to obtain POD/PPTA composite fibers by blending poly‐p‐phenylene terephthamide (PPTA) with POD. The results showed that the obtained POD/PPTA composite fibers exhibited enhanced tensile strength and heat resistance compared to the pure POD fibers. The POD/10%PPTA composite fibers retained 68% strength and 43% elongation even after 24 h UV accelerated aging. The improvement of UV resistance was attributed to the photoinduced electron transfer reaction in POD/PPTA composite fibers, which has been demonstrated by both experimental and simulation studies.

Published: July 2023

AbstractMicrotiter plates are suitable for screening and process development of most microorganisms. They are currently the container of choice for high‐throughput and small‐scale microbial culture, but require optimization for specific work. In this research, a novel type of microtiter plate was developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. The new plate provided high oxygen supply and optimal mixing effects for the fermentation culture of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) producing strains, surpassing the conventional method of strain screening with shake flasks, which was insufficient. The shape of the microtiter plate was modified, and baffles were introduced to improve mass transfer and oxygen supply effects in the vibrating bioreactor. CFD technology was used to model the new plate's characteristics, establishing the superiority of hexagonal microtiter plates with six baffles. Parameters in the incubation process, such as vibration frequency and liquid load, were optimized, and the final result achieved an oxygen transfer coefficient (KLa) of 0.61 s−1 and a volume power input of 2364 w m−3, which was four to five times better than the original 96‐well plate. The culture results optimized by the model were also verified. Therefore, this new microtiter plate provides a powerful tool for future high‐throughput screening of strains.
Paid attention but needed support: Environmental awareness of Indonesian MSMEs during pandemic

Published: July 2023

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the factors that instigate micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) environmental awareness during the Covid‐19 pandemic from the attention based view perspective as the main theoretical lens. This topic is motivated by the increasing plastic use by MSMEs during the pandemic due to mobility restrictions. A survey was performed and generated in 485 usable responses which were then analyzed using PLS‐SEM to find the answers of whether the awareness of MSME owners or managers, business motivations, government regulations, social media and implementation constraints influence environmentally friendly practices by MSMEs during the pandemic. Consistent with the predictions based on the attention based view, the results show that all five factors contribute to the environmentally friendly practices by MSMEs during the pandemic. In addition, a support system from the government is needed to increase awareness and to turn it into actions, especially in the form of facilities, infrastructure and training to overcome the constraints in cost, time, and human resources capabilities. Research to investigate environmentally friendly activities carried out by MSMEs during a pandemic is still scant. This research is expected to fill this gap and provides practical as well as theoretical contributions in this area.

AbstractThe fusion of tetrapyrroles with aromatic heterocycles constitutes a useful tool for manipulating their opto‐electronic properties. In this work, the synthesis of naphthodithiophene‐fused porphyrins was achieved through a Heck reaction‐based cascade of steps followed by the Scholl reaction. The naphthodithiophene‐fused porphyrins display a unique set of optical and electronic properties. Fusion of the naphtho[2,1‐b:3,4‐b’]dithiophene to porphyrin (F2VTP) leads to a ~20% increase in the fluorescence lifetime, which is accompanied, unexpectedly, by a more than two‐fold drop in the emission quantum yield (ϕ=0.018). In contrast, fusion of the isomeric naphtho[1,2‐b:4,3‐b’]dithiophene to porphyrin (F3VPT) results in a ~1.5‐fold increase in the fluorescence quantum yield (ϕ=0.13) with a concomitant ~30 % increase in the fluorescence lifetime. This behavior suggests that fusion of the porphyrin with the naphthodithiopheno‐system mainly affects the radiative rate constant in the Q‐state deactivation pathway, where the effects of the isomeric naphtho[2,1‐b:3,4‐b’]dithiophene‐ versus naphtho[1,2‐b:4,3‐b’]dithiophene‐fusion are essentially the opposite. Interestingly, nucleus‐independent chemical shifts analysis revealed a considerable difference between the aromaticities of these two isomeric systems. Our results demonstrate that subtle structural differences in the fused components of the porphyrin can be reflected in rather significant differences between the photophysical properties of the resulting systems.
