title: CBCT Based Morphological Segmentation Methods for Dental Age Estimation in Adults
titleType: Other
Creators: name: Merdietio Boedi, Rizky
Publisher: name: University of Dundee
Year: 2023

description: The improvement of imaging acquisition technology directly influences the development of non-invasive methods in dental age estimation (DAE). The introduction of three-dimensional imaging — especially the Cone Beam Computed-Tomography (CBCT) — created a new perspective on DAE methods, especially for adults where regressive changes must be examined thoroughly. A preliminary systematic review and meta-analysis found that the CBCT DAE method can contribute to DAE methods in adults, especially if the volumetric analysis is used. Another finding is that a common approach used for the analysis is the quantification of the ratio between pulp and tooth volumetric information. However, the methods do not factor in different regressive changes that occur in the crown and root of a tooth, neither by combination nor separation. Therefore, this study explored the reproducibility and reliability of adult's DAE methods using CBCT imaging through a step-by-step volumetric segmentation approach.

This study was performed on a CBCT scan dataset of the anterior maxillary teeth from patients of Indonesian origin. The methodology was developed using open-source software (ITK-SNAP), and the combination of human intervention and semi-automated segmentation gave the best quantified reproducibility value. Consequently, this approach was used to develop the 4-Part Tooth Segmentation (SG4t) method. The anterior maxillary lateral incisor presented the highest value of R2. In this study phase, an additional regression model emerged as a tool for age estimation and can also be used in challenging cases such as when teeth are found fragmented.

The expansion of the SG4t method was concentrated to the crown area, where attrition can be quantified using the enamel volume. This 3-Part Crown Segmentation (SG3cr) method gave the highest R2 to the anterior maxillary canine. Furthermore, the 5-Part Tooth Segmentation (SG5t) method was developed by combining the previous significant variables. Additionally, subsequent supervised machine learning (SML) analyses were tested. It was found that the utilisation of SML did not significantly improve the method's reliability as it is comparable to the original multiple linear regression (MLR) model.

In conclusion, the overall volumetric segmentation approach applied in the adult population using CBCT scans provides a better representation of CA without introducing collinearity within the predictive variables. The SG4t approach was better in analysing a whole tooth considering the labour time it takes and the minimal improvement in the model performance when compared to the SG5t method. In contrast, the SG3cr method is encouraged for age estimation using the anterior maxillary crown as enamel segmentation significantly improves the predictive model performance, albeit with a longer labour time.
An Overview of the Legal Regime Governing Minerals in Ethiopia

description: Abstract
The contribution of the mining sector to the Ethiopian economy has been dismal. This
situation is being reversed with the mining sector’s contribution to the Ethiopian
economy growing significantly in recent years reflecting the sector’s potential to spur
the economic growth of the country. Many factors including the legal reforms that
have taken place over the last two decades played major roles for the growth of the
mining sector’s contribution to the Ethiopian economy. This article addresses the
current legal framework governing minerals in Ethiopia. It examines the extent to
which the laws try to strike a balance between the rights of investors and the public
interest with a particular focus on social and environmental considerations. The overall
examination and analysis reveal that while the legal reforms have undergone
a substantial transformation to allure investors in the sector, some problems related to
the implementation of rights and obligations remain a concern. Moreover, social and
environmental considerations are also poorly addressed.

description: We study online mechanisms for preemptive scheduling with deadlines, with the goal of maximizing the total value of completed jobs. This problem is fundamental to deadline-aware cloud scheduling, but there are strong lower bounds even for the algorithmic problem without incentive constraints. However, these lower bounds can be circumvented under the natural assumption of deadline slackness, i.e., that there is a guaranteed lower bound $s > 1$ on the ratio between a job's size and the time window in which it can be executed. In this paper, we construct a truthful scheduling mechanism with a constant competitive ratio, given slackness $s > 1$. Furthermore, we show that if $s$ is large enough then we can construct a mechanism that also satisfies a commitment property: it can be determined whether or not a job will finish, and the requisite payment if so, well in advance of each job's deadline. This is notable because, in practice, users with strict deadlines may find it unacceptable to discover only very close to their deadline that their job has been rejected.
Granting and Using Annual Leave in Ethiopia: A Look at the Practice at the Teklehaimanot Plant of MOHA Soft Drinks S.C
Creators: name: Girma, Dejene Janka
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Abstract
The current Ethiopian Labor Proclamation provides for a number of stipulations to
regulate the relationship between employers and employees. These stipulations deal,
among other things, with how annual leave can (should) be granted by employers and
used by employees. This article explores the position of the Labor Proclamation in
respect of some vital issues pertaining to the granting and use of annual leave. It will
also examine how these issues are dealt with in practice by using the experience of
one company, MOHA Soft Drinks Industry S.C. at the Teklehaimanot Plant. Although
the practice at this Company may not be used to make generalizations about how other
employers deal with the above issues, it can serve as a real eye-opener. The article
concludes that the stipulations of the Labor Proclamation are not implemented as they
ought to be and there are some deviations in practice.

description: We generalise a non-classicality test described by Kot et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 233601 (2010)], which can be used to rule out any classical description of a physical system. The test is based on measurements of quadrature operators and works by proving a contradiction with the classical description in terms of a probability distribution in phase space. As opposed to the previous work, we generalise the test to include states without rotational symmetry in phase space. Furthermore, we compare the performance of the non-classicality test with classical tomography methods based on the inverse Radon transform, which can also be used to establish the quantum nature of a physical system. In particular, we consider a non-classicality test based on the so-called filtered back-projection formula. We show that the general non-classicality test is conceptually simpler, requires less assumptions on the system and is statistically more reliable than the tests based on the filtered back-projection formula. As a specific example, we derive the optimal test for a quadrature squeezed single photon state and show that the efficiency of the test does not change with the degree of squeezing.

description: Observations of the magnetic needle deviations (declination) at sea by the beginning of the 18th century were already a common occurrence. But decli­nation measurements on land were still not made — a circumstance that was a serious disadvantage for studying the phenomenon of terrestrial magnetism. The idea of conducting geomagnetic observations on a large scale on the territory of the vast Russian Empire came from а great scholar G. W. Leibniz. Ideas of Leibniz found fertile ground in Russia and were further developed under the auspices of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, which conducted observations both on water and on land. The fact that even before the St. Petersburg Academy’s foundation D. G. Messerschmidt conducted the first systematic geomagnetic observations during his Siberian expedition, became obvious only recently. This article is intended to shed light on the innovative contribution of Messerschmidt to the study of the mysterious phenomenon of terrestrial magnetism and to give its preliminary assessment on the basis of currently available information.
description: Наблюдения за отклонением магнитной стрелки (магнитным склонением) на море к началу XVIII в. были уже обычным явлением. Но измерения склонения на суше по-прежнему не производились — обстоятельство, которое было серьезным препятствием для изучения феномена земного магнетизма. Идея проведения геомагнитных наблюдений в крупных масштабах на территории огромной Российской империи исходила от великого ученого-универсала Г. В. Лейбница. Идеи Г. В. Лейбница попали в России на благодатную почву и получили дальнейшее развитие под эгидой Петербургской академии наук, которая стала проводить наблюдения как на воде, так и на суше. Тот факт, что еще до основания Петербургской академии наук Д. Г. Мессершмидт во время своей сибирской экспедиции провел первые систематические геомагнитные наблюдения, стал очевиден лишь недавно. Настоящий очерк призван пролить свет на новаторский вклад Д. Г. Мессершмидта в изучение загадочного феномена земного магнетизма и дать его предварительную оценку на основе доступной в настоящее время информации.
Does a community connection lead to a change in Postpartum Depression Scores: An examination of Durham Connects

description: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious public health issue for women in the United States, and untreated postpartum depression can negatively impact a women's ability to care for herself as well as to care for her child. It is well documented that children of women who experience postpartum depression are more likely than other children to have poor behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and health-related issues. The Durham Connects nurse home-visiting program facilitates community connections to families of newborns based on nurse-identified family needs, with the goal of reducing child maltreatment and promoting healthy maternal and child health outcomes. Because maternal depression is a known risk factor for child maltreatment, nurses use the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Screener (EPDS) to screen for postpartum depression during home visits. In order to examine the potential benefits of Durham Connects community referrals on postpartum depression, this paper will analyze the EPDS scores from two Durham Connects randomized controlled trials. The Durham Connects nurse home-visitors screened women for postpartum depression at three weeks and again at six months, and found that women who received a community connection for a mental health referral had lower scores as measured by the EPDS.

description: Abstract
Law and Development have been a field of academic study for almost half a century.
Internationally, the law and development movement got momentum in the 1960s and ’70s.
Despite contention on the nature of laws, the successive law and development
movements have emphasized the significant role law plays in economic development. It
is underlined that an efficient and effective legal and judicial system is among the pillars
which support economic development in developing countries.
This article attempts to explore the historical evolution of the relationship between law and
development in Ethiopia. It gives highlights on how the international law and
development paradigms shaped the law and development relationship in Ethiopia. It
pinpoints how the different economic policies which prevailed in the country were able
to shape the role of law in development.

description: The t-J model is analysed in the limit of strong anisotropy, where the transverse components of electron spin are neglected. We propose a slave-particle-type approach that is valid, in contradiction to many of the standard approaches, in the low-doping regime and becomes exact for a half-filled system. We describe an effective method that allows to numerically study the system with the no-double-occupancy constraint rigorously taken into account at each lattice site. Then, we use this approach to demonstrate the destruction of the antiferromagnetic order by increasing the doping and formation of Nagaoka polarons in the strong interaction regime.

description: We have reconstructed the sunspot group count, not by comparisons with other reconstructions and correcting those where they were deemed to be deficient, but by a re-assessment of original sources. The resulting series is a pure solar index and does not rely on input from other proxies, e.g. radionuclides, auroral sightings, or geomagnetic records. 'Backboning' the data sets, our chosen method, provides substance and rigidity by using long-time observers as a stiffness character. Solar activity, as defined by the Group Number, appears to reach and sustain for extended intervals of time the same level in each of the last three centuries since 1700 and the past several decades do not seem to have been exceptionally active, contrary to what is often claimed.

description: The temperature and magnetic field dependences of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) are studied in Mn delta-doped semiconductor heterostructures with a two-dimensional hole gas in a quantum well interacting with the Mn layer. The analysis of experimental data reveals four distinct temperature ranges differing in the behavior of AHE. The Mn layer induces an inhomogeneity of the hole gas leading to an interplay between the hopping and drift conductivities. It is shown that at sufficiently low temperatures, hopping conductivity favors the mechanisms of AHE related to the geometric (Berry-Pancharatnam) phase.

Year: 2012

description: The teen pregnancy rate in the United States has significantly decreased during the past decades; however, it is still high compared to other industrialized countries. The sexual behaviors that lead to unintended pregnancy are also associated with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). Although there is extensive literature on evidence-based strategies in community or school-based settings to prevent teen pregnancy, there are less data on how to incorporate technology to reach the adolescent population. Research on social media’s effectiveness at improving knowledge or changing sexual behavior among adolescents is limited. However, results from research examining effectiveness of social media shows that social media has the potential to influence adolescent’s intention to change behavior.

description: In questo contributo si ripercorre la storia della media literacy in Spagna e si descrivono i molti cambiamenti avvenuti sinora: tutti i soggetti coinvolti (educatori, autorità regolatrici, industria, società civile) sono ben consapevoli dell’importanza della media literacy e della media education, e le azioni intraprese mirano a un ulteriore potenziamento di questa importanza. Tuttavia, malgrado gli sforzi compiuti, occorre un maggiore coordinamento e una più accurata programmazione. Lo sviluppo della media literacy viene qui descritto a partire dagli anni Sessanta, quando alcune scuole cominciano a usare i media come strumenti didattici in classe, sino ai Novanta con il boom delle nuove tecnologie digitali e della convergenza mediale e con l’affermarsi dei concetti di digital literacy e, più tardi, di media literacy. Per quanto riguarda l’educazione permanente, in questo contributo si solleva la questione della formazione degli insegnanti e delle specializzazioni postlaurea. Si accenna anche al processo di introduzione della materia nel curricolo. Rispetto alla ricerca e a progetti particolari, si citano alcune esperienze realizzate sia da istituzioni nazionali che da associazioni della società civile. Infine, si auspicano sviluppi futuri per la media literacy in Spagna grazie alla promulgazione della Ley General de la Comunicación Audiovisual (LGCA 2010) e all’istituzione del Consejo Estatal de Medios Audiovisuales (CEMA).

Astrophysical Sources of Statistical Uncertainty in Precision Radial Velocities and Their Approximations

description: We investigate astrophysical contributions to the statistical uncertainty of precision radial velocity measurements of stellar spectra. We analytically determine the uncertainty in centroiding isolated spectral lines broadened by Gaussian, Lorentzian, Voigt, and rotational profiles, finding that for all cases and assuming weak lines, the uncertainty is the line centroid is $σ_V\approx C\,Θ^{3/2}/(W I_0^{1/2})$, where $Θ$ is the full-width at half-maximum of the line, $W$ is the equivalent width, and $I_0$ is the continuum signal-to-noise ratio, with $C$ a constant of order unity that depends on the specific line profile. We use this result to motivate approximate analytic expressions to the total radial velocity uncertainty for a stellar spectrum with a given photon noise, resolution, wavelength, effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, macroturbulence, and stellar rotation. We use these relations to determine the dominant contributions to the statistical uncertainties in precision radial velocity measurements as a function of effective temperature and mass for main-sequence stars. For stars more than $\sim1.1\,M_\odot$ we find that stellar rotation dominates the velocity uncertainties for moderate and high resolution spectra ($R\gtrsim30,000$). For less massive stars, a variety of sources contribute depending on the spectral resolution and wavelength, with photon noise due to decreasing bolometric luminosity generally becoming increasingly important for low-mass stars at fixed exposure time and distance. In most cases, resolutions greater than 60,000 provide little benefit in terms of statistical precision. We determine the optimal wavelength range for stars of various spectral types, finding that the optimal region depends on the stellar effective temperature, but for mid M-dwarfs and earlier the most efficient wavelength region is from 6000A to 9000A.

La Media Literacy nella prospettiva finlandese, nordica ed europea
Creators: name: Arnolds-Granlund, Sol-Britt
Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2013

description: Nel secolo scorso, e in special modo negli ultimi dieci anni, la questione dei media e, in particolare, il tema della media literacy ha attratto l’interesse delle autorità, degli studiosi e di altri responsabili nel settore educativo. Nel tempo sono entrati in uso molti concetti, ma sfortunatamente senza che ne venisse fornita una definizione, nella maggior parte dei casi. Questo articolo si focalizza sulla media literacy, su come può essere definita e sul significato di concetti affini utilizzati nel contesto finlandese. Inoltre viene discussa la relazione tra i concetti di media literacy e digital literacy e la collocazione della media literacy nei curricula scolastici in Finlandia. Il contributo affronta anche il problema della valutazione della media literacy nelle politiche istituzionali e chiude con un accenno alle prospettive future di ricerca nel campo dell’educazione ai media. Trattandosi di un lavoro di ampio respiro sulla media literacy, si riferisce sia a iniziative politiche che ai risultati della ricerca e alle pratiche educative.

Magnetically induced phonon splitting in ACr$_2$O$_4$ spinels from first principles
Creators: name: Wysocki, Aleksander L.
name: Birol, Turan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the magnetically-induced phonon splitting in cubic ACr$_2$O$_4$ (A=Mg, Zn, Cd, Hg) spinels from first principles, and demonstrate that the sign of the splitting, which is experimentally observed to be opposite in CdCr$_2$O$_4$ compared to ZnCr$_2$O$_4$ and MgCr$_2$O$_4$, is determined solely by the particular magnetic ordering pattern observed in these compounds. We further show that this interaction between magnetism and phonon frequencies can be fully described by the previously proposed spin-phonon coupling model that includes only the nearest neighbor exchange. Finally, using this model with materials specific parameters calculated from first principles, we provide additional insights into the physics of spin-phonon coupling in this intriguing family of compounds.
«Internauti non si nasce, ma si diventa!» Un percorso media-educativo per la scuola secondaria di primo grado

Year: 2013

description: Muovendo da un’analisi del concetto di credibilità e delle nuove sfide poste da Internet e dai media digitali rispetto alla valutazione della credibilità dell’informazione online, viene presentata un’esperienza di educazione alla comprensione critica dell’informazione digitale realizzata nella scuola secondaria di primo grado. L’esperienza, seppur limitata nel tempo e nel numero di soggetti coinvolti, è indicativa del grande lavoro che resta ancora da fare. In linea con altre indagini di più ampia portata, gli studenti hanno infatti mostrato di possedere molte ingenue credenze sul funzionamento di Internet e sul problema della credibilità delle fonti. Il percorso didattico implementato in classe si è focalizzato sulla messa in discussione di queste ingenue credenze e sullo sviluppo di capacità critica di analisi e valutazione dell’informazione, conseguendo qualche primo risultato positivo.

An analysis of failure: examining why implementation of maternal and child health priority interventions fail and the potential for implementation science and research to help
Creators: name: Tedford, Kathleen E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Effective methodologies can be developed and appropriately structured to evaluate and address the complex social interactions present in MNCH interventions and successful change can be achieved. As there are numerous frameworks and contexts within the discipline of IS and IR, this paper will explore the varying definitions and strategies of its use, as well as, demonstrate how three different IS/IR frameworks could frame the scope of failed interventions. The evidence supports that rigorous and thorough process and impact evaluations are essential to improving program implementation. As such, IS and IR have the potential to further contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation tool. Hence, this paper will demonstrate, how consensus on fundamental elements of a more general IS framework could evoke a less disjointed approach to implementing ‘best-practices’ in global; therefore, decreasing why many MNCH programs fail.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: In this paper, we introduce an optimum approach for querying similar images on large digital-image databases. Our work is based on RBIR (region-based image retrieval) method which uses multiple regions as the key to retrieval images. This method significantly improves the accuracy of queries. However, this also increases the cost of computing. To reduce this expensive computational cost, we implement binary signature encoder which maps an image to its identification in binary. In order to fasten the lookup, binary signatures of images are classified by the help of S-kGraph. Finally, our work is evaluated on COREL's images.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Rings and Algebras (math.RA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 17B81, 17B30

description: We show that each Saletan (linear) contraction can be realized, up to change of bases of the initial and the target Lie algebras, by a matrix-function that is completely defined by a partition of the dimension of Fitting component of its value at the limit value of the contraction parameter. The codimension of the Fitting component and this partition constitute the signature of the Saletan contraction. We study Saletan contractions with Fitting component of maximal dimension and trivial one-part partition. All contractions of such kind in dimension three are completely classified.

Evaluating the Concept of Minority in Corporate Group Context: A Specific Look at Minority Shareholders of the Subsidiary Company
Creators: name: Ketsela, Belayneh
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Abstract
Despite the practical presence of corporate groups in Ethiopia for some decades now,
the notion of a minority in corporate group context has not been explicated in domestic
literature. In this article, an attempt is made to evaluate the concept of a minority with
particular emphasis on minority shareholders of the subsidiary company. Section I of
this article will provide some background on the Ethiopian law on minority
shareholders in general. Section II will explain who the minority shareholder in the
subsidiary is. Section III discusses the rationale for the protection of minority
shareholders of a subsidiary company. Finally, minority shareholder (of the subsidiary)
rights are discussed from a comparative perspective.

Literature Review of Transitions of Care for Pediatric Populations
Creators: name: Harrill-Smith, Carrie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Inspired by the author's internship with the case management department at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Medical Center, this paper reviews models used for pediatric transitions of care and adult models that may be effective in pediatric settings. Transitions of care provide support for a patient making a transition from an inpatient healthcare setting to either a home, or long-term care placement. When hospitals provide effective transitions of care around a patient's medical, social, financial, legal, and environmental needs, readmissions can be prevented and optimal comfort and medical stability can be achieved for a patient.

Enforcement of the Principle of Legality in Ethiopia after Ethiopian Revenue & Customs Authority v Ato Daniel Mekonnen
Creators: name: 1. Assefa 2. Gebre, 1. Abebe 2. Wendmagegn
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law

description: Abstract
The principle of legality, that safeguards the freedoms and liberties of individuals in the
administration of criminal justice, is being challenged by the increasing tendencies of
administrative agencies to attach criminal “teeth” to the myriads of administrative
regulations and directives. The proliferation in Ethiopia of such administrative
regulations and directives in the last few decades has been worrisome. This article
posits that delegation of criminal law-making power to administrative organs counter
the persuasive rationales for delegation of law-making power for that would defy the
principle of legality. Conceiving the principle of legality as primarily relating to notice
and fair warning, the article shows that the principle of legality is not properly enforced
in Ethiopia.
