Combined prosthesis still have a good place as a treatment option for partially edentulous Kennedy's class I conditions especially when implants are contraindicated for one reason or another. With proper case selection and treatment plan, precision attachments system can be used to improve retention and esthetics. The purpose of this article was to describe a case of a patient with extended Kennedy's class I condition, which was prosthetically restored by a combined prosthesis using a extracoronal precision attachment.

A promise of ‘The Good Place’: Dystopia in Kate Wilhelm’s The Funeral and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go.

Dystopia which is presumed to be the antonym of the word utopia instigates the idea that a given society is governed by a totalitarian regime in which constructs fear and anxiety to its people. In many dystopian texts, the main aim of the rulers is to create a better world according to their own ideologies by believing that they are creating a ‘utopia’. This conviction divides society into two; the ones who join the cause and the ones who are against it. However, the most loyal to the cause are the creators of the so called ‘utopia’ and the ones who are afraid to die. As a result, the promise of ‘the good place’ triumphs only to establish a community that is portrayed as oppressed with constant unhappiness. This article analyses both the individuals and the dystopian society while taking into consideration dystopian elements like totalitarian regime and fear, pseudo-utopia, and division in society that takes place in the short story The Funeral (1972) by Kate Wilhelm and the novel Never Let Me Go (2005) by Kazuo Ishiguro. The purpose of this article is to investigate the concept of dystopia in these texts by engaging Adorno and Horkheimer’s ‘administered world’, Plato’s ‘social classes’, Louis Althusser’s ‘interpellation’ and ‘Repressive State Apparatus’ along with his ‘Ideological State Apparatus’, Mihail Bakhtin’s ‘authoritative language’, and finally Michel Foucault’s ‘carceral society’ in connection with Jeremy Bentham’s ‘panopticon’.

Active allyship: what is it and why does it matter to the veterinary profession?

A workplace where every member of the team feels valued and as if they belong will be a successful one says Tobias Hunter - and upping the allyship and addressing microaggressions is a good place to start.

A Good Place to Do Time? Detailing the Construction of Symbolic Social Boundaries in Correctional Boot Camps.

Drawing on qualitative interviews with 51 incarcerated adult men and nine correctional officers in a Western Canadian prison system, we ask why some incarcerated people find it appealing to be placed on correctional boot camp units and what such appeals tell us about broader conditions of incarceration. Participants on three boot camp units drew on narratives relating to (a) extrinsic benefits, (b) discipline and structure, (c) teamwork and positive relationships, and (d) an opportunity for self-improvement to construct symbolic boundaries between "normal" units and boot camps, as well as their former self and their transformed current self. By drawing symbolic boundaries between the past and present and between other units and their boot camp unit, our participants create narratives that allow them to partially mitigate some pains of imprisonment.

Geosite Recognition Based on Qualitative-Quantitative Assessment in the Light of Core Geological Features of a Mio-Pliocene Volcanic Arc Setting of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

The far north part of Coromandel Peninsula can be considered a good place for geoeducation and geotourism, which is justified by the remnants of Miocene-Pleistocene volcanic integration with marine environment. These processes in collaboration with old Jurassic and quaternary sediments create a diverse geological and geomorphological constructions forming the abiotic environment of areas surrounding Port Jackson and Fletcher Bay. These two locations have been chosen as two main campsites of the north Coromandel Peninsula, which are maintained by the Department of Conservation (DOC) of Coromandel Peninsula. Hence, the campsites should be considered as main places for camping for the trips of different purposes. They provide an access costal way and/or trails leading to the main geologically important locations presenting some knowable features like Pinnacles and Sugar Loaf spread through the region. To highlight these locations of interests, “geosites,” we developed qualitative-quantitative assessment of geodiversity for geosite recognition based on 8-m DEM and 1:1250,000 scale geological map and QGIS (3.28 “Firenze”) software. The methodology utilizing 8-point evaluation system applied for geological formations of the studied region and its multiplication with morphological slope degree. The result of assessment has been expanded and justified with geological, cultural, and geomorphological database acquired from literature review and direct field trips of the studied areas. The conclusion demonstrates the main geological knowledge of recognized geosites together with description of drawbacks and possible obstacles for tourism and education in the region of the northern Coromandel Peninsula.

Formasi Calon Imam bagi Gereja Sinodal di Rumah Formasi

The focus of this article is how to form the seminarians in a synodal way. The synodal Church is “the specific modus vivendi et operandi of the Church, the People of God.” Working on this theme, the author analyses related theological literature equipped with living experience as formator. The result is as follows the spirit of the journey together has been a problem in the Church. Clericalism is the real challenge for the Church to journey together. “The whole Church is called to deal with the weight of a culture imbued with clericalism that she inherits from her history, and with those forms of exercising authority on which the different types of abuse (power, economic, conscience, sexual) are grafted” (The Preparatory Documents: No. 6). With this reality, all the People of God need to form ourselves in synodality. “Synodality entails receptivity to change, formation, and on-going learning” (Vademecum: 42). A formation house is a good place for learning and practicing communion, participation and mission. The seminarians learn how to listen, discern, and participate. To sum up, to carry out this special ministry we need a good formator who has been trained properly as a formator. This kind of formator can integrate 4 dimensions of formation for the priesthood. This process will help seminarians to be good pastors in their journey together with the People of GodKeywords:

The green issues and foreign policy: an analysis of Indonesian foreign ministry’s selected tweets

Abstract. A green issue is relatively new for Indonesian policymakers. All countries paid close attention to this issue in the 1960s, when people were facing some environmental crises. But international political scholars started paying more attention to green issues in the 1990s, after the Cold War ended and traditional security issues became less important. Non-traditional security problems, like the environmental crisis, are becoming the focus of foreign policy issues in countries like Indonesia. Social media is a good place to investigate green issues, especially those that have to do with Indonesian foreign policy. This article tries to explore what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said on Twitter about green issues that have not been studied as much. This article tries to analyse some tweets about green issues in Indonesian foreign policy using NVivo content analysis. Thus, this article argues that green issues are still not talked about much on Twitter. The fact that the sentiment analysis is still neutral shows that the issue is not a big deal in the discussion. This research offers a fresh perspective on green issues inside the MOFA Twitter account and has contributed to the body of knowledge in this field of study

Riview Of Celosia Flower Park : Tourist Perspective

While the motivation for this study is the importance of the number of tourist visits to tourist attractions, tourism managers must understand and be able to explain well how they respond to consumer complaints based on the types of positive or negative tourist complaints on social media. The purpose of this study is to determine the strategic model to be used in developing artificial tourist attractions that have an important role in the tourism business. Intense business competition requires business people to be observant and astute in identifying existing opportunities and the behavior of their target market, the consumers. Since marketing managers, the spearhead of marketing in business, need to understand consumer behavior in purchasing decisions, which is key to increasing the success of marketing products, the study results suggest that a small review of consumer behavior in decision making, paying attention to and understanding consumer behavior on social media, is a good place to start. the importance of paying attention to, understanding, and providing a review of consumer behavior on social media in making decisions about purchase of services and products. This review will serve as a benchmark for tourism destination development strategies.

Transfer Learning Strategies for Fine-Tuning Pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks in Medical Imaging

In the area of medical imaging, transfer learning has become a potent technique that uses pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to improve the performance of particular tasks. An overview of several transfer learning techniques used for optimising pretrained CNNs in the context of medical image analysis is given in this abstract. The size limitations of medical imaging datasets make it difficult to train deep learning models from scratch. Pre-trained CNNs are a good place to start, such as those that have been trained on huge natural picture datasets like ImageNet. When these pre-trained models are applied to medical imaging applications, fine-tuning is frequently used. One common method is feature extraction, where the bottom layers of the pretrained CNN are frozen and operate as feature extractors. Then, for the specific medical task at hand, these features are loaded into a bespoke classifier. The ability of the pretrained network to recognise subtle picture patterns is advantageous in this method. Another strategy is to optimise the CNN architecture as a whole, which enables the model to adjust to the features of medical images. Small learning rates are frequently used in transfer learning techniques to avoid overfitting during fine-tuning. Additionally, to further enhance model generalisation, domain-specific data augmentation is essential. The use of ensemble approaches, which combine several pretrained CNNs, is also investigated. These models are capable of offering various feature representations and improving classification precision. In order to bridge the domain gap between natural photos and medical images, domain adaption techniques are also used. One approach to align feature distributions is by adversarial training, while another is through domain-specific batch normalisation. The feature extraction, network fine-tuning, ensemble approaches, and domain adaptation are all part of transfer learning methodologies for optimising pretrained CNNs in medical imaging. Researchers have made great progress using these techniques in a number of medical image processing tasks, proving the value of transfer learning in this important area.

Safeguarding and Preserving Africa’s Ritual Objects in the Face of Modernity: The Mwaghavul Case

The focus of this paper is to study ritual objects among the Mwaghavul people and their preservation as heritage materials for posterity. The paper looks into the ritual objects of the Mwaghavul and the challenges facing their preservation. In doing this study, primary and secondary sources of data were used. While rituals and ritual objects represent a major defining attribute of the Mwaghavul people, most of these objects are now abandoned on hilltops or caves, forest and rock shelters, and at the mercy of bad weather conditions and agents of destruction like termite, fire, and other things that can destroy them naturally. The paper admonishes that these materials are the people's heritage that deserve preservation. The paper identifies globalization, stereotype, migration of young people into the cities, human and natural factors, and activities of heritage looters as some of the contributory factors. The paper however argues that the challenges can be addressed through public enlightenment, provision of conducive worship environments for adherents of traditional Mwaghavul religion, introduction of traditional religion into our school curriculum and provision of good places for the preservation of ritual objects. The paper concludes that as an important aspect of their culture, the Mwaghavul people should ensure that their ritual objects are safeguarded and preserved for posterity.

Leading Content Producers in Chinese Social Media Platform: Theories and Case Study on Blilibili Vloggers

The rise of social networks has changed the way people live and see the world. Because it is easy for many people to reach, it has given independent people a chance to be heard. Every year, there are more and more outsiders living in China, and there are more and more foreign vloggers on social media. This group is getting bigger and more influential, and its unique character and wide range of creative material is opening up new ways for people from different cultures to talk to each other. Many foreign vloggers have settled on Bilibili, making it one of the most popular platforms. This makes it a good place to look at how foreign vloggers and their viewers are different. So, this study will look at the personal traits, image-building processes, and how well the public accepts the image-building of foreign vloggers on Bilibili. It picks I am Guo Jerry, who shows the impact and content, and Vlad, who is also a foreign YouTuber but gets bad reviews from the public, to do a comparison audience study. The foreign vloggers community is looked at critically in this study. This can help protect against the bad effects and outcomes it causes and bring its social value. At the global level, videos made by foreign vloggers are a new way for people from different cultures to talk to each other. They share Chinese stories and encourage cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world. At the micro-level, the group of foreign vloggers can teach Chinese content producers from their experiences.

(Dis)utopian Landscapes in Don DeLillo’s Fiction

The concepts of utopia (a good place) and dystopia (a bad place) might be arrived at and developed by one’s contact with the (constructed) reality and comprehension, yet frustration and discontent with it, and one’s pessimism and optimism over a better present and future contingent upon the place and time in which one exists. The former has a long history, whereas the latter is a work in progress. That is, one cannot simply distinguish between the two by asking whether the latter is primarily precautionary and reactive, cautioning us what not to do, whilst the former is proactive, pointing us towards the right direction. Both the former and latter may have similar motives, namely, to demonstrate the dark characteristics of one society by comparing it with another, fictitious culture. Someone’s utopia might alternate dystopia, or many traditional utopias from the past include aspects that modern readers would identify as dystopian. On the other hand, one could argue that dystopia serves as the worst-case scenario, presenting a degraded, collapsing, and/or collapsed society, be it socio-culturally, economically, or technologically, worse than another, yet still hopeful for a drastic change for the better. Utopia could be received as the best-case scenario for people in a society considering its socio-political demise. Shortly, both utopian and dystopian scenarios would fit into an extended framework of contemplations on a catastrophe that would either signal a tremendous shift for the better or result in an apocalyptic nightmare. Drawing on the standpoints of Giles Deleuze and Jean Baudrillard and tracing Don DeLillo’s fiction, this paper seeks to explore the notion of dystopia, the future assumptions that dystopian fiction puts forward, and the challenges and issues it highlights, such as digital surveillance, technological control, the disappearance of individualism, uncertainty, and dread.

Integration of virtual screening of phytoecdysteroids as androgen receptor inhibitors by 3D-QSAR Model, CoMFA, molecular docking and ADMET analysis: An extensive and interactive machine learning

Ecdysteroids, a class of naturally isolated polyhydroxylated sterols, stands at a very good place in the pharmaceutical industry from their medicinal point of views like anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and anti-tumor effects. Due to their excellent antioxidant and anti-microbial potential, ecdysteroids have extensive use in skin products, especially derma creams. To monitor the best anti-acne phytoecdysteroids, here made use of different computational approaches, by using the rapid, easy, cost-effective and high throughput method to screen and identify ecdysteroids as androgen receptor inhibitors. 3D-QSAR study was carried out on a dataset of ecdysteroids by using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) to determine the factors responsible for the activity of compounds. Statistically a cross-validated (q2) 0.1457 and regression coefficient (r2) 0.9713 indicated the best model. Contour map results showed the influence of steric effect to enhance activity. A molecular docking analysis was done to further find out the binding sites and their anti-acne potential against three crystal structured macromolecules (PDB ID: 2REQ, 2BAC, 4EM0). Docking results were further evaluated by prime MM-GBSA analysis and findings confirmed the accuracy. Toxicity by ADMET assessment was carried out and M2 was found as lead druglike with best anti-acne activity against Propionium acnes GehA lipase bacteria after passing all filters. This research study is novel because it is representing first effort to explore ecdysteroids class for their high therapeutic output as androgen receptor inhibitor by using computational tools and expectedly led to novel scaffold for androgen receptor inhibitor. This is a novel and new approach to investigate the ecdysteroids for first time for their practical applications.

Can Form-Based Codes be the Opportunity to Achieve a Quality Built Environment in Aotearoa New Zealand?

This article suggests that our current land-use planning is routinely failing to make good places where people want to live. The inability of land-use zoning to generate mixed-use neighbourhoods is one reason. Instead of land-use and density calculations, the use of form-based codes might be an opportunity to take a holistic approach to streets, buildings and open spaces when thinking about our future neighbourhoods.

Development of Primal World Beliefs

Primal world beliefs (“primals”) capture individuals’ basic understanding of what sort of world this is. How do children develop beliefs about the nature of the world? Is the world a good place? Safe or dangerous? Enticing or dull? Primals were initially introduced in social and personality psychology to understand beliefs about the world as a whole that may influence well-being and personality. This article introduces the concept of primals to developmental scientists and reviews preliminary research examining how primals relate to sociodemographic and well-being indicators. The article then situates the concept of primals in some classic developmental theories to illustrate testable hypotheses these theories suggest regarding how primals develop. Understanding how individuals develop basic beliefs about the nature of the world deepens insights into the human experience, including how malleable these beliefs might be and how they may be influenced by, and in turn influence, other domains of development.

Pengaruh BI-7 Day Repo Rate dan Nilai Tukar terhadap Nilai Aktiva Bersih Reksa Dana Saham Periode 2018 - 2022

Mutual funds are a good place to invest for novice investors to get profits in the future. Therefore, mutual funds really need to be studied by including macroeconomic variables, namely BI-7 day repo rate and exchange rates. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of BI-7 day repo rate and exchange rates on Net Asset Value (NAV) of equity funds. The method used in this study is the Error Correction Model. The results show that in the long run the BI-7 day repo rate variable has a significant positive effect on the NAV of equity funds. However, the exchange rate variable has a significant negative effect. Furthermore, in the short-term estimation, BI-7 day repo rate has no effect on the NAV of equity funds. Then the exchange rate has a significant negative effect. Simultaneously (together) in the long run has a significant influence on the NAV of equity funds. This is inversely proportional to the short-term estimation results which state that simultaneous BI-7 day repo rate and exchange rates have no effect on the NAV of equity funds. The data used in this study is the period 2018 – 2022.

Baca Beverage Distributors: surviving the great attrition

Theoretical basis This compact case provides a relatively large data set that students explore using visualization and a Tableau dynamic dashboard that they create. Students were asked to describe what the data set contained in relation to employee attrition experience of Baca Beverage Distributors (BBD). The application and managerial questions are set in human resources and a company that is facing high attrition during the pandemic. Research methodology BBD shared their data and problem scenario for this compact case. The protagonist, Morgan Matthews, was the authors’ contact and provided significant clarification and guidance about the data. Both the company and the protagonist have been disguised. Some of the job positions have been rephrased. All names of employees, supervisors and managers have been replaced with codes. Case overview/synopsis During the 2020–2022 pandemic years, BBD experienced, like many companies, a higher than usual employee turnover rate and Morgan Matthews, Director of People, was concerned. Not only was it time-consuming, expensive and disruptive but the company had prided itself on being a good place to work. Were they hiring the right people, people that fit the company culture and people that fit the positions for which they were hired? The company had been using the Predictive Index [1] when on-boarding employees. In addition, there were results from self-reviews and manager reviews that could be used. Morgan wondered if data visualization and visual analytics would be useful in describing their employees and whether it would reveal any opportunities to improve the turnover rate. Before seeking a solution for the high turnover, it was important to step back and learn what the data said about who was leaving and the reasons they gave for leaving. Complexity academic level This compact case can be used in courses that include visualization using Tableau and dashboards. As it is a compact case, it requires less preparation time from the students and less class time for discussion. The case is for students who have been recently introduced to business analytics, specifically visualization and data storytelling with Tableau. For this reason, significant guidance has been provided in the case assignment. The level of the case can be adjusted by the amount of guidance provided in the case assignment. Courses include introduction to business analytics, descriptive analytics and visualization, communication through data storytelling. The case can be used for all modalities – in person, hybrid, online. The authors use it here for visualization and dynamic dashboards but using the same data set and compact case description, exploratory data analysis could be assigned.
