Flexural Properties of Contemporary Bioactive Restorative Materials: Effect of Environmental pH
Authors: Ong JEX , Yap AU , Abdul Aziz A , Yahya NA 
Published: November 2022

SUMMARY
This study investigated the effects of environmental pH on the flexural properties of ion-releasing restorative materials (IRMs), including giomer (Beautifil-Bulk Restorative - BB), alkasite (Cention N - CN), bioactive composite (Activa - AB) and resin-modified glass ionomer (Riva Light Cure -RV) restoratives. A bio-inert resin-based composite (Filtek Bulk-fill Posterior - FB) served as the control. Stainless steel molds were used to fabricate 40 beam-shaped specimens (12mm × 2mm × 2mm) for each material. The specimens were finished, measured, and randomly distributed into four groups (n=10) and immersed in aqueous solutions of pH 3.0, pH 5.0, pH 6.8, and pH 10.0 at 37°C for 28 days. Specimens were then subjected to a uniaxial three-point bending flexural test with a load cell of 5 KN and a fixed deformation rate of 0.5 mm/min until fracture occurred. Flexural modulus and strength were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance/Dunnet T3’s test (p=0.05). Mean flexural modulus varied from (2.40±0.41 to 9.65±1.21 GPa), while mean flexural strength ranged from (21.56±2.78 to 163.86±13.13 MPa). Significant differences in flexural properties were observed among the various pH values and materials. All materials immersed in artificial saliva (pH 6.8) presented the highest flexural properties, except AB. The flexural strength of AB was significantly better when exposed to acidic environments. FB had better flexural properties than IRMs after exposure to a range of environmental pH values.

Air adalah kebutuhan dasar manusia yang digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan dalam kehidupan. Dalam sebuah komunitas , air bersih sering merupakan masalah serius manakala tidak tersedia dalam jumlah yang cukup dan memenuhi baku mutu terutama daerah-daerah tertentu yang belum memiliki pipanisasi, atau daerah pemukiman dipinggir laut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menentukan pengaruh intrusi laut terhadap sumber air bawah tanah melalui karakteristik litologi batuan bawah permukaan serta menetukan kondisi aquifer yang mungkin terintrusi air laut berdasarkan data kualitas air sumur gali di Desa Laimeo-Ulu Kecamatan Sawa. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode geolistrik tahanan jenis Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) yang semakin luas penggunaannya untuk mempelajari struktur bawah permukaan. Hasil interpretasi data setiap lintasan pengukuran teridentifikasi adanya intrusi air laut yang diindikasikan oleh nilai resistivitas 0,5-5 ohm.m sebagai lapisan pasir dan kerikil. Meskipun lapisan ini diduga sebagai aquifer dan telah terintrusi air laut namun letaknya sekitar 6 - 12 dibawah permukaan sedangkan kedalaman sumur gali rata-rata 3 m. Selain itu, ada lapisan lempung yang impermeable terletak di atas lapisan yang terintrusi air laut. Dengan demikian disimpulkan bahwa air sumur gali masih tergolong sebagai air segar dan dapat dikomsumsi dan untuk berbagai keperluan lain. Adalah perlu dikombinasikan dengan metode lain untuk menilai sebaran intrusi air secara spasil atau dua dimensi.

Abstract
The clothing sector is one which possesses significance in global trade. The sector has been negatively affected by the pandemic due to its labor-intensive structure and possession of a relatively long and global supply chain. At this point, the Turkish clothing sector, which is the sixth biggest clothing supplier in the world, the third biggest clothing supplier in the European Union, and comprised 10% of Turkey’s general exports in 2019, should be investigated. In this context, this research aims to determine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on supply chain management in the Turkish clothing sector. Also, it aims to specify possible solutions against the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In accordance with the aim of the research, a survey was conducted in clothing enterprises. 391 survey questionnaires were incorporated into the research. According to the research results, it is determined that supply chain management in the Turkish clothing sector has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Order disruptions and cessations have ruined employment, production, procurement and investment processes resulting in financial disruptions. The most significant possible precautions that can be taken by enterprises that can be indicated as follows: benefiting from government support, heading towards online trade and an omni-channel strategy, actualising necessary alterations in product ranges, giving essential importance to innovation, efficient use of occupational health and safety systems, shortening the supply chain as far as possible, integrating digitalisation into all processes of the supply chain, and increasing the efficiency of marketing activities.

Authors: Lahdhiri Mourad , Babay Amel , Jmali Mohamed 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Supplier selection and evaluation are among the most critical issues in supply chain management, affecting companies’ performance because of the important role of suppliers in the chain’s profitability. For this reason, it is important for companies to have an objective methodology to evaluate and choose an appropriate supplier based on convenient criteria in a competitive market. Determination of a convenient supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In the literature, several applications of the MCDM methods for supplier evaluation and selection can be found; however, research studies in the clothing industry are still limited. Indeed, apparel supply chain managers have to consider their supplier-related decisions to reduce risks affecting the company’s performance. This study aims to fill this gap by providing apparel manufacturers with different hybrid models for selecting the best supplier. According to a literature review and questionnaire conducted, the main criteria related to supplier selection were identified and determined. Then, the analytic hierarchy process method was performed to determine the criteria’s weights, and then suppliers were ranked using hybrid multicriteria decision-making models (AHP-TOPSIS, AHP-WSM, and AHP-WPM) to select the suitable one in the apparel chain. This research methodology can be considered useful for apparel companies and other industries.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Ancient Chinese embroidery is an important intangible part of the cultural heritage of mankind. Its colours and contours are a major source of oriental inspiration and design elements for designers today. This study presents an effective intelligent recognition of colour and contour based on K-means++ clustering and the Canny operator for colour and contour application of ancient Chinese embroidery images and for digital inheritance and innovation. First, digital cameras and portable scanners were used in embroidery image acquisition. Second, colour level adjustment, sharpening and smoothing were specially added to the preprocessing, because of the ancient embroidery age or colour errors caused by the shooting angle. Third, K-means++ clustering was used for colour clustering. Fourth, the Canny operator was used for contour detection. After the addition of colour level adjustment and sharpening in the preprocessing, the colours and contours could be acquired accurately and more effectively from embroidery images and be read and edited independently.

Abstract

Background
This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of reliability and validity of OCI-CV in a non-clinical sample of Malaysian children and adolescents.

Method
Participants of school-age and adolescent students from Klang Valley School completed the 21-item Malay OCI-CV using Google Form. OCI-CV English version was translated backward and forward to the Malay language. Face validity was conducted first before distributing the questionnaire to the participants. Exploratory Factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of OCI-CV.

Results
A total of 102 school-age children and adolescents with a mean age of 15.96 years (male: 41.2%, female: 58.8%) participated in the study. The Malay OCI-CV showed high internal consistency, with Cronbach Alpha values of 0.90 for the whole scale. EFA showed multifactorial components. Five factors were labelled as “Washing / Ordering, Doubting, Obsessions, Checking, and Hoarding,”. In the CFA, the five-factor model indicates adequate fit indices of (χ2/df = 1.51, RMSEA = .071, GFI = .824, AGFI = .769, NFI = .724, CFI = .880).

Conclusion
The Malay OCI-CV has good psychometric properties and is suitable for use in the Malaysian context. Further validation studies should be conducted among a clinical population to enhance the generalization of this finding.
Developing a Brief Parent Training Intervention to Prevent Anxiety in Offspring
Authors: Åhlén Johan , Vigerland Sarah , Lindberg Madeleine , Gunterberg Olivia , Ghaderi Ata 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Offspring of parents with anxiety disorders have an increased risk of developing anxiety themselves. Very few studies have evaluated interventions aiming to prevent anxiety in offspring of anxious parents. This study was a small (N=40) randomized pilot study with three arms evaluating the feasibility of a novel parent support group for anxious parents, the Supporting Anxious Parents Program (SAPP). The primary objective was to evaluate the acceptability of the SAPP. In addition, we also evaluated preliminary effects on child anxiety, parent risk factors, and quality of life, and feasibility of the study design. Excessive parental worry and anxiety and having a child not meeting criteria for an anxiety disorder (6-12 years old), served as inclusion criteria. Thirteen parents were randomly allocated to a group-based intervention, 14 to an individual Internet-based version of the intervention, and 13 to a waitlist control condition. The intervention was developed to target three risk factors involved in the parent-child transmission of anxiety; criticism/low warmth, overprotective behaviors, and modeling of anxiety. The results showed that parents were generally very satisfied with the intervention. We did not find any significant decreases in child anxiety in the intervention conditions. However, for the parents, we found preliminary support for reduced overprotective behaviors, reduced worry, and increased quality of life. The study design was found to be feasible. According to the results, a revision of the intervention is recommended before a full randomized controlled trial could be conducted.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we deal with the properties (a)R-star-semi-Lindelöf and (a)M-star-semi-Lindelöf in (a)topological spaces. These properties are interesting as every (a)Rs
-separable space is (a)R-star-semi-Lindelöf and every (a)
s
-semi-Lindelöf space is (a)R-star-semi-Lindelöf but not every (a)R-star-semi-Lindelöf space is (a)Rs
-separable or (a)
s
-semi-Lindelöf. It is shown that if an (a)topological space X is the union of countably many (a)-open and (a)Rstar-semi-Lindelöf subspaces, then X is (a)R-star-semi-Lindelöf. Similar results are obtained in the context of (a)M-star-semi-Lindelöf spaces. Further, suitable and required counterexamples are given.

Authors: Aimsiranun Usanee 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Thailand is under consideration whether to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) along with four other ASEAN member states namely Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam. Moreover, the negotiation of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the European Union (EU), despite its halt in 2013, is expected to resume.
This article aims to study the challenges regarding the labour provisions which form part of new generation FTAs to which Thailand may become a party. It will focus on the labour provisions in the CPTPP and the EU FTA model and examine the eventual impact on Thai labour law as well as suggest legal reforms in case Thailand decides to accede to the CPTPP and/or to conclude an FTA with the EU.

Authors: Hidayat Muhammad Yasir , Saraswati Putu Ayu Sita , Widnyana Made , Kinandana Gede Parta 
Published: November 2022

Agility is used by soccer athletes when passing opponents by dribbling the ball in order to score goals more easily. Body Mass Index (BMI) affects agility. Athletes who have a normal BMI have better agility which is useful for displaying their maximum abilities. Athletes with an abnormal BMI can result in decreased agility and an increased risk of injury. This study aims to determine the correlation between BMI and agility in soccer athletes in Melawi Regency.This research is an analytic observational study with a cross sectional approach. The sample of this study amounted to 105 people who were selected using non-probability sampling technique with purposive sampling method. Agility was measured by t-test, while BMI was measured by the result of body weight () divided by the square of height () adjusted by category.Based on the non-parametric chi-square analysis test, the results were p = 0.021 (p<0.05) which indicates that there is a significant correlation between BMI and agility, where the lower the BMI, the higher the agility. This is because the higher the BMI causes an increase in the load that can inhibit muscle contraction.Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is a significant correlation between body mass index and agility in soccer athletes in Melawi Regency.
