Distal displacement of maxillary sinus anterior wall versus conventional sinus lift with lateral access: a 3-year retrospective Computerized Tomography study

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background To compare a sinus augmentation procedure with a distal displacement of the anterior wall to a standard sinus lifting and grafting with a lateral window approach. Methods In the displacement group, a sinus surgical fracture results in the distal displacement of the anterior wall by means of an electromagnetic device. In the filling group, a sinus lifting with lateral access and grafting with particulate bone was performed. Bone volume beneath the maxillary sinus was investigated with Computerized Tomography after data superimposition. Clinical and radiological outcomes over 3 years had been evaluated. Results Forty-three dental implants were enrolled. The surgery of both groups significantly increased the bone volume in the VOIs (p-value≤0.0017) respectively for displacement group from 1.17±0.34cc to 1.53±0.39cc with a final bone volume gain of +0.36±0.17cc and for filling group from 1.24±0.41cc to 1.94±0.68cc with a bone augmentation of 0.71±0.31cc. Two implants early failed in the filling group, attesting the 3-year survival rate to 92.6%(CI95%: 82.7%-100%). Marginal bone loss at the distal aspect was 1.66±0.72mm and 1.25±0.78mm for displacement and filling group, respectively (p-value=0.0497). Conclusions The study showed an effective bone gain around dental implants at 3-year of survey both for sinus augmented by backward displacement of the anterior wall (+34%) and by sinus lifting with a lateral window approach (+57%).
Քննիչի հարցաքննությունը որպես պաշտպանության իրավունքի բաղադրատարր / Interrogation of an Investigator as a Component of the Right to Defense

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The new Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Armenia (hereinafter referred to as the Code) has provided a fairly wide range of tools for building the defense of the accused, some of which are new in nature and establish diametrically opposed structures than previous legal norms. One of these innovative institutions is the interrogation of an official who has received evidence in court. By this decree, the legislator put an end to numerous disputes that arose in theory and in practice about whether the interrogation of an official who obtained evidence was allowed. The Code allows the interrogation of an investigator as a witness only if the admissibility or reliability of the material evidence obtained by him, the protocol of the committed evidentiary or other procedural action, or an extrajudicial document is disputed, and the interrogation is necessary to clarify existing issues about the admissibility or reliability of evidence to the participants in the proceedings or the court.: Failure to comply with this procedural procedure can create an extremely unfavorable situation for the prosecution, given the fact that in the event of an obvious violation of the procedure for obtaining or recording evidence, this evidence cannot be used without questioning the person who received or compiled it.

The reliance on electronic medical records may create patient safety hazards at times during our daily care processes, such as when we are complacent or less vigilant. In a recent survey, up to 40% of physicians believed that EMRs create more challenges than benefits (Hospital Peer Review 2019;44). Handoffs in the perioperative setting can be associated with patient harm (Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf 2008;34:563-70). The literature has demonstrated that communication gaps may be reduced by standardizing handoffs (APSF Newsletter 2017;32). Whether the handoff is for changes in patient location or changes in care team personnel, there are risks from loss of continuity of care and insufficient or inaccurate information exchange.

Gods in the Bazaar: The Economies of Indian Calendar Art

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Gods in the Bazaar is a fascinating account of the printed images known in India as "calendar art" or "bazaar art," the color-saturated, mass-produced pictures often used on calendars and in advertisements, featuring deities and other religious themes as well as nationalist leaders, alluring women, movie stars, chubby babies, and landscapes. Calendar art appears in all manner of contexts in India: in chic elite living rooms, middle-class kitchens, urban slums, village huts; hung on walls, stuck on scooters and computers, propped up on machines, affixed to dashboards, tucked into wallets and lockets. In this beautifully illustrated book, Kajri Jain examines the power that calendar art wields in Indian mass culture, arguing that its meanings derive as much from the production and circulation of the images as from their visual features.Jain draws on interviews with artists, printers, publishers, and consumers as well as analyses of the prints themselves to trace the economies-of art, commerce, religion, and desire-within which calendar images and ideas about them are formulated. For Jain, an analysis of the bazaar, or vernacular commercial arena, is crucial to understanding not only the calendar art that circulates within the bazaar but also India's postcolonial modernity and the ways that its mass culture has developed in close connection with a religiously inflected nationalism. The bazaar is characterized by the coexistence of seemingly incompatible elements: bourgeois-liberal and neoliberal modernism on the one hand, and vernacular discourses and practices on the other. Jain argues that from the colonial era to the present, capitalist expansion has depended on the maintenance of these multiple coexisting realms: the sacred, the commercial, and the artistic; the official and the vernacular
Alveolar epithelial responses in experimental streptococcal pneumonia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract We describe an experimental model of pneumonia in Wistar rats evoked by Streptococcus sanguis. The lesion developed rapidly as a confluent bronchopneumonia of the single‐lobed left lung. Except at the extreme base, where an abscess formed, the pneumonic process thereafter resolved, and most of the lung appeared microscopically and ultrastructurally normal 8 days after infection. Sequential electron microscopic studies revealed that in the areas of lung which subsequently resolved, damage was restricted to type 1 pneumocytes. Within 24 h of infection, the unaffected type 2 pneumocytes were observed to proliferate, transform into elongated pneumocytes of intermediate morphology, and then undermine and strip off the damaged type 1 cells from the subjacent basement membrane. Thereafter, the intermediate type pneumocytes completed their transformation into definitive type 1 cells, thus completing the repair process. We hypothesize that this represents an accelerated form of the normal type 1 replacement mechanism, and that uncomplicated epithelial repair following acute alveolar damage is possible if type 2 pneumocytes escape significant damage, so that they retain their capacity to proliferate and differentiate into type 1 epithelium.
Business Literacy and Development: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial in Rural Mexico

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper explores whether the poor performance of many micro-enterprises can be explained by a lack of basic business skills. We randomized the offer of a free, 48-hour business skills course to female entrepreneurs in rural Mexico. We find that those assigned to treatment earn higher profits, have larger revenues, serve a greater number of clients, are more likely to use formal accounting techniques, and more likely to be registered with the government. Economically significant indirect treatment effects on those entrepreneurs randomized out of the program, yet living in treatment villages are observed. We present a simple model that helps interpret our results, and consistent with the theoretical predictions, we find that entrepreneurs with lower baseline profits are the most likely to quit their business post-treatment, and that the positive impacts of the treatment are increasing in entrepreneurial quality.
Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of pathogenic Escherichia coli O157 in fresh produce obtained from irrigated fields

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Escherichia coli O157 has been implicated in many outbreaks of gastroenteritis associated with the consumption of contaminated fresh vegetables, fruits and sprouts. In Nigeria, the use of untreated wastewater in irrigation is largely considered an inevitable option to compensate for water shortages. This study investigated the seasonal prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of potentially pathogenic E. coli O157 from fresh produce in two large vegetable producing areas in Nigeria (Kano and Plateau States). Four hundred and forty samples, comprising fresh produce (238), irrigation water (84), and soil/manure samples (118) were collected from May, 2010 to March 2011, and analyzed for the presence of potentially pathogenic E. coli O157. Overall, 7.3% (32/440) samples were identified as E. coli O157 with its highest detection from Kano State 18/230 (12.2%). E. coli O157 was 3 times higher in vegetables during wet season than dry season and 2.3 times higher in irrigation water in wet season than in dry season. E. coli O157 was tested for their susceptibility to eight commonly used antibiotics and by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for the presence of; uidA, O157 and genes coding for the quinolone resistance-determining region (gyrA) and plasmid (pCT) coding for multidrug resistance. The confirmed isolates showed that 30/32 (93.8%) were resistant to two or more antibiotics distributed in seven different multidrug resistance patterns. Our results reflect occurrence of multidrug resistant E. coli O157 in these major produce regions. We recommend adequate treatment of wastewater before use to avoid possible public health hazards from consumption of these vegetables.
ANALYSIS OF THE TURBULENCE-RADIATION INTERACTION IN A METHANE-AIR DIFFUSION FLAME

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The phenomenon of turbulence-radiation interaction (TRI) has been demonstrated experimentally, theoretically and numerically to be important in a great number of engineering applications. This paper presents a numerical study on the subject, focusing on a methane-air diffusion flame confined in a rectangular enclosure. An open source, Fortran-based code, Fire Dynamics Simulator, is used for the analysis. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is adopted to model the turbulence, and to resolve the sub-grid scale terms the dynamic Smagorinsky model is employed. To solve the radiative heat transfer, the finite volume method is used alongside the Weighted-Sum-of-Gray-Gases model. The main objective of the present work is to assess the magnitude of TRI effects for the configuration proposed. For this purpose, the time-averaged wall heat fluxes and volumetric radiative heat source, calculated from the LES results, are compared with those same quantities obtained by independent simulations initialized using mean temperature and species concentration fields. TRI effects are found to be responsible for differences up to 30% between results considering and neglecting turbulent fluctuations. These differences are larger for the radiative heat source and for the radiative heat flux to the walls, smaller for the total heat flux, and almost negligible for the convective heat flux. The influence of the fuel stream Reynolds number on the TRI effects is also evaluated, and a slight decrease on the magnitude of TRI is observed with the increase of that parameter.

The Status and Economic Activity of Jews in the Venetian Dominions during the Fifteenth Century

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Recent studies on the history of Jews in the Venetian Terraferma in the last century of the Middle Ages have expanded our knowledge considerably.An excellent collection of studies by the late Daniel Carpi on Jews in Padua appeared in 2002.A seminar held in Verona in 2003 was dedicated to the cases of Treviso, Verona, Vicenza, Feltre and, beyond the borders of Venice but in its sphere of influence, Rovigo (part of the Veneto only from 1484) and Trieste (in the empire); most of the participants were young scholars who had devoted laurea and doctoral theses to specific cities and areas of the Terraferma 1 .As regards the social and economic history of Jews in the maritime provinces, the Venetian Stato da mar, the single historian who has contributed most is unquestionably David Jacoby, many of whose articles have been collected in readily available volumes.The largest of the provinces, Crete, as Jacoby affirmed already in 1983, remains even today -for the history of the Jews -the least-studied area with the most voluminous documentation 2 .The present contribution considers the social status and the economic activity of Jews in both regions under the direct governance of Venice. The status of Jews in Venetian territoriesThe conventional vocabulary of the majority reflects at first glance the social and legal status of a minority, in Venice as anywhere else.
A Mobile Augmented Reality System for Enhancing Electrical Machine Supervision

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Electrical machines are used almost everywhere, and our daily life depends on them. For this reason, it is important to articulate mechanisms to control, supervise, and perform proper maintenance of these machines, especially those used in critical industrial process. The SCADA protocol is one of the technologies that eases the operation and supervision of electrical machines. However, the absence of a spatial connection between the SCADA signals and the machines being supervised suggests the use of augmented reality (AR) to fill this void. This chapter describes SIMARA: A Mobile AR application based on a dual computer-vision system (QR-codes and fiducial markers). SIMARA provides a robust client application for the integration of AR and SCADA signals by means of virtual panels shown on top of real SCADA machines. An authoring tool is also provided in order for users to customize the application to their particular needs, allowing to create, by means of web services, customized virtual panels, and links between SCADA signals and the virtual information shown in the AR application.
Fisheries biology of the catfish (<i>Macrones gulio</i>) in estuarine of Bengawan Solo River, Indonesia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Fisheries biology of the catfish (Macrones gulio) in estuarine of Bengawan Solo River, Indonesia was examined. The samples were obtained monthly by gill net and hand line from March 1999 to February 2000. Maturity, food habit and growth of the fish were observed. The percentage of maturing and mature fish was higher (60-90%) from October to February. The gonad somatic index was also higher (0.5-1.3 for male and 5-9 for female) during these months which were estimated to be spawning season, with a peak in November. The dominant foods of the catfish were crustacean and detritus. Stomach Content index was higher from July to January and low from February to June. The index seems to relate to the reproduction activity both in male and female. Growth curve was expressed by the equation, Lt=190 (1-e-0.60(t+0.162)) for male and Lt=200 (1-e-0.55(t+0.176)) for female where Lt and t denote total length (mm) and the age (month) of the fish respectively.
An unnatural metropolis: wresting New Orleans from nature

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Strategically situated at the gateway to the Mississippi River yet standing atop a former swamp, New Orleans was from the first what geographer Peirce Lewis called an impossible but inevitable city. How New Orleans came to be, taking shape between the mutual and often contradictory forces of nature and urban development, is the subject of An Unnatural Metropolis. Craig E. Colten traces engineered modifications to New Orleans's natural environment from 1800 to 2000. Before the city could swell in size and commercial importance as its nineteenth-century boosters envisioned, builders had to wrest it from its waterlogged site, protect it from floods, expel disease, and supply basic services using local resources. Colten shows how every manipulation of the environment made an impact on the city's social geography as well - often with unequal, adverse consequences for minorities - and how each still requires maintenance and improvement today. For example, while the massive levee system has controlled the unpredictable Mississippi, it also captures heavy down-pours, creating a new set of internal flood problems. Urban geographers frequently have portrayed cities as the antithesis of nat
Perceptions of spiritual care among nurses undertaking postregistration education

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Previous research has suggested that qualified nurses recognize that patients have spiritual needs and consider meeting those needs to be important. However, there is also evidence suggesting that nurses feel ill prepared for, and uncertain about, their role as spiritual care providers. A questionnaire on spiritual care and the nurse’s role was distributed to a group of 59 registered nurses (of varying ages and levels of experience) undertaking a palliative care module as part of a postregistration degree programme in Scotland. The findings demonstrated that respondents regarded spiritual care as important, especially for certain patient groups. They also thought nurses had a significant responsibility in spiritual caregiving. Individuals varied in how difficult they found identifying patients in need of spiritual care and in meeting those needs. However, analysis of responses revealed considerable insight into possible signs of patient need, examples of nursing interventions and potential barriers to effective spiritual care. Some areas of relative lack of knowledge were identified and may indicate where future efforts to raise awareness of spiritual care among similar groups of nurses should be concentrated.
Author manuscript, published in &quot;16th International Conference on Real-Time and Network Systems (RTNS 2008) (2008)&quot; Quantifying the sub-optimality of uniprocessor fixed-priority scheduling ∗

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

There are sporadic task systems schedulable by EDF, which no fixed-priority (FP) algorithm can schedule successfully. For instance, it is known that while all implicit-deadline sporadic task systems with utilization at most one are EDF-schedulable on a unit-capacity uniprocessor, there are implicit-deadline sporadic task systems that are not schedulable by any FP algorithm, and have utilization exceeding ln 2 (approx. 0.69) by an arbitrarily small amount. A quantitative metric of the relative effectiveness of fixed-priority scheduling of constrained-deadline sporadic task systems is derived here, which generalizes this well-known 0.69 utilization bound for implicit-deadline systems.
Nurse led educational intervention on the knowledge of management of selected childhood conditions among mothers of under five in tertiary hospitals in Bayelsa state

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Infant and child mortality remains a daunting challenge in Nigeria as findings showed inadequacy in knowledge and skills regarding management of selected childhood conditions among mothers. This study assessed a nurse-led educational intervention on management of selected childhood conditions among mothers of under-five in tertiary hospitals in Bayelsa State.Method: Two group pre-test, post-test quasi-experimental design was used for the study. Total enumeration was adopted to include 150 mothers of under-five. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire and a checklist pre and post intervention. Two research questions were answered using descriptive statistics of while hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics of t-test at 0.05 level of significance.Results: Findings showed that pre-intervention knowledge was below average in both control (23.19±6.66) and experimental (21.97±7.32) while an improvement was found with the participants' post-intervention knowledge on the management of selected childhood conditions in the experimental (49.99±5.86) group and not with the control (23.82±6.75) group. No significant difference was found in the pre intervention knowledge (Mean difference=1.22, t(148)=1.01, p=0.103) in the control and experimental group, while a significant difference was reported in the post intervention mean score on knowledge (Mean diff. = 26.17, t(148)=19.45, p=0.000) in the control and experimental group.Conclusion: The nurse-led intervention programme improved knowledge and skills in the management of selected childhood conditions among mothers of under-five. It is recommended that more awareness should be created on the management of selected childhood conditions parameters.
Determinants influencing the flow of FDI in India: an empirical insight using panel data

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract Background context: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a crucial driver of economic growth in developing countries like India. The study explores the dynamics of FDI flow between India and developed nations, addressing the broader context of economic relationships. Specific knowledge gap: In this study, we address what influences the inward and outward flow of FDI between India and Developed countries. In addition, we aim to examine the economic phenomena that influence the variables making India attractive to other nations. Methods or approach used: The study used panel data from 2000 to 2023 from different countries, and the one-step system GMM method was used for analysis. The countries are categorized as developed or emerging countries, and the variables India seeks in these countries are examined. Key findings: Proximity, shared language, technological advancements, infrastructure, and trade agreements are key factors influencing FDI, regardless of the development status of partner nations. Emerging countries exhibit similar responses to developed nations under these conditions. Implications or applications: The findings suggest a need for future research on why developed nations fail to achieve similar FDI-driven economic growth as emerging nations. This could inform policy adjustments for leveraging FDI effectively.
