Zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) cement is a popular dental material due mainly to its analgesic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The formulation of ZOE cement from nano particle-sized zinc oxide (ZnO) has the potential to increase these properties as well as reduce its adverse effects to the surrounding tissues. This study evaluated the subcutaneous tissue response towards nano ZOE cements (ZOE-A and ZOE-B) in comparison to conventional ZOE (ZOE-K). Test materials were implanted into 15 New Zealand white rabbits. Tissue samples were obtained after 7, 14, and 30 days (n =5 per period) for histopathological evaluation of inflammatory cell infiltrate, fibrous tissue condensation, and abscess formation. ZOE-A showed the lowest score for the variable macrophage and lymphocyte at day 7. Both ZOE-A and ZOE-B presented lower fibrous tissue condensation and abscess formation compared to conventional ZOE-K. By day 30, ZOE-A exhibited less lymphocytic and neutrophilic infiltrate compared to the other materials, while ZOE-B had the lowest score for macrophages. ZOE-K exerted higher inflammatory cell response at almost all of the experimental periods. All of the materials resulted in thin fiber condensation after 30 days. Rabbit tissue implanted with ZOE-A and ZOE-B showed better response compared to ZOE-K.

Security networks as one of the biggest issue for network managers with the exponential growth of devices connected to the internet. Keeping a big and diverse network running smoothly and securely is no easy feat. With this in mind, emerging technologies like software defined networking (SDN) and internet of things (IoT) hold considerable promise for information service innovation in the cloud and big data era. Therefore, this paper describes the model of SDN and the architecture of IoT. Then this review does not only review the research studies in SDN-IoT but also provides an explanation of the SDN-IoT solution in terms of architecture, main consideration, model, and the implementation of SDN controllers for IoT. Finally, this review discusses the challenges and future directions. This paper can be used as a starting point for thinking about how to improve SDN-IoT security and privacy.

Swarm robotic is well known for its flexibility, scalability and robustness that make it suitable for solving many real-world problems. Source searching which is characterized by complex operation due to the spatial characteristic of the source intensity distribution, uncertain searching environments and rigid searching constraints is an example of application where swarm robotics can be applied. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of the famous algorithms have been used for source searching where its effectiveness depends on several factors. Improper parameter selection may lead to a premature convergence and thus robots will fail (i.e., low success rate) to locate the source within the given searching constraints. Additionally, target overshooting and improper initialization strategies may lead to a nonoptimal (i.e., take longer time to converge) target searching. In this study, a modified PSO and three different initializations strategies (i.e., random, equidistant and centralized) were proposed. The findings shown that the proposed PSO model successfully reduce the target overshooting by choosing optimal PSO parameters and has better convergence rate and success rate compared to the benchmark algorithms. Additionally, the findings also indicate that the random initialization give better searching success compared to equidistant and centralize initialization.

Blunt thoracic trauma carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality and may be life-threatening. Clinical identification of a tension pneumothorax necessitates immediate decompression. Diagnosing a diaphragmatic hernia in a trauma context is challenging and rather uncommon. Should both pathologies coexist, there is potential bowel perforation due to thoracocentesis. A traumatic chest injury can complicate patients with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia who are asymptomatic. Early identification with clinical assessment and bedside ultrasound is essential, and surgical repair is the definitive management. We report a case of traumatic left tension pneumothorax, prompting an immediate left thoracostomy and an incidental finding of an uncomplicated congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Sarcopenia causes a loss of skeletal muscle mass and decreases muscle strength and function. Depressive symptoms are a common cause of distress among geriatrics, significantly affecting the quality of life of older adults. Recently, studies have shown that a correlation exists between sarcopenia and depression. To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and depressive symptoms and identify the factors associated with sarcopenia, we systematically searched the SCOPUS, Science Direct, and PubMed databases for papers on sarcopenia and depressive symptoms published from 2012 to 2022. We reviewed the literature on sarcopenia, depressive symptom prevalence, the prevalence of subjects with both sarcopenia and depressive symptoms, and the factors associated with sarcopenia. Only cross-sectional studies were included. Nineteen articles met the inclusion criteria for review, with overall sarcopenia prevalence ranging from 3.9% to 41.7%. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was reported in seven studies, ranging from 8.09% to 40%. The most commonly used tools to diagnose sarcopenia and depressive symptoms were the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People consensus and the Geriatric Depression Scale, respectively. Being aged, malnourished, obese, having comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes), having impaired cognitive function, and having polypharmacy were found to be the factors associated with sarcopenia. Sarcopenia and depressive symptoms have been found to cause adverse health outcomes among older people. Appropriate nutritional assessments and interventions should be taken to manage these two geriatric conditions. Further studies should be planned, considering multidomain intervention strategies to improve sarcopenia and older people's mental health.

Personality is considered to be a factor affecting athletic performance. However, inconsistency in the research results regarding size and even direction of the relationship. An evaluation of the evidence of the relationship between personality and athletic performance was conducted in order to summarize the evidence available. A systematic literature search was conducted in March 2023. Sport performance and the Big Five personality model were identified in our research. We used PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Wang Fang (Chinese), Wei Pu (Chinese), and CNKI (Chinese) databases for the systematic literature search (Prospero registration number: CRD42022364000), screened 4,300 studies, and found 23 cross-sectional studies eligible for inclusion in this review. The results of this systematic analysis show that, besides neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness are all positively correlated with sports performance. Conscientiousness and extraversion are the two main personalities in team sports. Openness and agreeableness show different results in different sports, and it is not clear to which project they are beneficial. The value of personality as a possible predictor of athletic performance is generally positive. Therefore, professionals such as applied sports psychologists, coaching personnel, athletes, and sports administrators must comprehensively grasp the significance of personality's role in achieving success in major competitions. Considering these facts, sports practitioners should promote personality screening and personality development programs.

Abstract: Childhood cardiac tumors are rare but challenging conditions that can have a significant impact on a child’s health and even be fatal if not detected and diagnosed timely. While various types of tumors can occur in the heart, the most common among children are benign tumors, such as rhabdomyomas. Diagnosis of pediatric cardiac tumors is often challenging and requires a combination of clinical examination, imaging studies and biopsy. In some cases, the tumors may be asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, while in others, they can cause symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, arrhythmias and congestive heart failure. Treatment options for pediatric cardiac tumors vary depending on the type, size, and location of the tumor and may include surgical resection, watchful waiting or a combination of both. The prognosis for children with cardiac tumors is generally good, with a high rate of complete cure in many cases. However, long-term follow-up and monitoring are important to detect and manage any potential complications or recurrence of the tumors.

Since the enactment of Law Number 6 concerning Villages, there has been a shift in the development paradigm in the village as the smallest administrative unit in the Indonesian constitutional structure. The village is no longer the object of development, but the village is placed strategically as the subject of development. Village development should not be carried out partially. Villages and their communities need to be developed comprehensively, covering all aspects of their whole humanity. The purpose of this research is to uncover and describe one model of holistic village community development, namely "KoPi Ngaji", which has been implemented in Bodeh Village, Yogyakarta. "KoPi Ngaji" is a program in the religious sector in green open spaces that aims to instill rational thinking, emotional feelings, and spiritual inner as well as empower the economy of the local village community. This research uses a qualitative approach with case study data analysis. This study found that the “KoPi Ngaji” program is a holistic village community development model based on Islamic values. The "KoPi Ngaji" platform is run with a 3H approach (Heart, Head, and Hands). Starting with strengthening the Islamic spiritual mentality, this program then builds the economic power of the community through strengthening narratives reasoning, a sense of creativity, and the ability to take action for change.
