Evaluation of Aging-Friendly Public Spaces in Old Urban Communities Based on IPA Method—A Case Study of Shouyi Community in Wuhan

In recent years, the aging population in Chinese cities has become increasingly severe. In 2021, the proportion of people aged 65 and above in Wuchang District, Wuhan reached 24.38%, indicating a deeply aging society. Consequently, the importance of studying aging-friendly public spaces in communities is becoming more prominent. This research was conducted based on survey data of outdoor spaces in Shouyi Community, Shouyi Road. Factor analysis and IPA were used to assess the satisfaction and importance of elderly residents’ satisfaction. The primary renovation factors identified include route organization, site height difference protection, barrier-free design, plant color matching, plant configuration, and landscape features, followed by spatial continuity, lighting, microclimate, and rest facilities layout. These analyses effectively identified public factors and prioritize the aging-friendly renovation of public spaces in old communities. In the renovation of old communities in Wuhan, safety is the primary renovation factor for aging-friendly communities. Improving site height difference protection and barrier-free facilities significantly enhances residents’ satisfaction. The aesthetic improvement of outdoor spaces is the second renovation factor, indicating that the elderly increasingly value the aesthetic aspect of spaces. Although accessibility of community public spaces is the third renovation factor, route organization at the criterion level has the highest priority. Road traffic and parking difficulties are also key factors in the renovation of old communities.

Color Stability of Single-Shade Resin Composites in Direct Restorations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

The objective was to compare the color match and color stability behavior of single- and multi-shade resin-based composites (RBCs) used for direct restorations. This review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Randomized clinical trials evaluating the shade performance of single-shade RBCs in direct restorations were included. A search of the scientific literature was performed in five databases (April 2024). The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4, calculating the risk difference (RD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the dichotomous outcome using a random effects model. Bias was assessed using the RoB 2.0 tool, and certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADEpro tool. Four studies were selected, with 263 restorations analyzed. The results showed comparable performance between single-shade RBCs and multi-shade RBCs in terms of color match and color stability over 12 months. Three studies had a low risk of bias with all expected results, and one study had some concerns. The certainty of evidence for color stability was considered low for all follow-up periods due to the small number of events and sample size. According to the United States Public Health Service Evaluation (USPHS) and the World Dental Federation (FDI), there is comparable clinical color performance between single-shade and multi-shade RBCs over 12 months.

Visual evaluation of the color adjustment of single-shade and group shade resin composites in restorations with different cavity configurations

ObjectiveTo evaluate the influence of the tooth shade, type of resin composite and cavity configuration on the color adjustment of single-shade and group shade resin composites. MethodsClass I and V cavities were prepared in artificial acrylic mandibular right molars with different shades - A1, A2, A3, A3.5 and A4. Three single-shade (OMN, UNI, CHA) and two group shade (FIL, HAR) resin composites were evaluated. Seventy-five observers, including dentists, dental students and laypersons (n = 25), participated in the study. A psychophysical experiment based on visual assessments of the color matching between each tooth and each restoration was ranked from 0 (excellent match) to 4 (huge mismatch), and mean frequencies (%) were calculated. Visual color differences among composite materials and tooth shades were statistically tested (P < 0.05). ResultsThe results showed highest percentages of unacceptable color mismatches for class V compared to class I restorations, especially for more chromatic tooth shades (A3.5 and A4). The percentage of ratings of acceptability was higher for laypersons group. For class V, OMN presented significant difference only from UNI in tooth shades A1, A2, A3 and A4. However, for class I, OMN presented significant differences with CHA for A1, A2 and A4, and with HAR and FIL for A1. ConclusionsClass I resin composite restorations exhibit superior color matching than Class V, with lighter and low chroma tooth shades demonstrating better color adjustment. The color matching of both cavity configurations is comparable for single and group shade resin composites. Clinical significanceCavity configuration and tooth shade may impact color matching of single and group shade resin composites. This study demonstrates superior color matching in class I configurations over class V for both single and group shade resin composites. Additionally, restorations placed in teeth with lighter shades exhibit more favorable color adjustment.

Enhancing the Range and Reliability of the Spacer Layer Imaging Method

The spacer layer imaging method (SLIM) is widely used to measure the thickness of additive and lubricant films, in lubricant development and evaluation, and for fundamental research into elastohydrodynamic lubrication and tribofilm formation mechanisms. The film thickness measurement, as implemented on several popular tribometers, provides powerful, non-destructive in-situ mapping of film topography with nanometre-scale height sensitivity. However, the results can be highly sensitive to experimental procedure, machine condition, and image analysis, in some cases reporting unphysical film thickness trends. The prevailing image analysis techniques make it challenging to interrogate these errors, often hiding their multivariate nonlinear behaviour from the user by spatial averaging. Herein, several common ‘silent errors’ in the SLIM measurement, including colour matching to incorrect fringe orders, and colour drift due to the optical properties of the system or film itself, are discussed, with examples. A robust suite of novel a priori and a posteriori methods to address these issues, and to improve the accuracy and reliability of the measurement, are also presented, including a novel, computationally inexpensive circle-finding algorithm for automated image processing. In combination, these methods allow reliable mapping of films up to at least 800 nm in thickness, representing a significant milestone for the utility of SLIM applied to elastohydrodynamic contact.Graphical abstract

Shirt-color recognition for the color-blindness

Color-blind is a generic disability whereby the affected individuals are not given the opportunity to benefit from the various functions provided by color that would impact humans physically and psychologically. Although this disability is not fatal, it brought plenty of turbulence in the affected individuals’ daily activities. This paper aims to develop a system for recognizing and detecting colors of clothes in images, improve accuracy by using advanced algorithms to handle lighting variations, and provide color matching recommendations to assist color-blind individuals in making informed choices when purchasing shirts. The proposed methodology for color recognition involves:•retrieving the RGB values of a given point from the input image and converting them into HSV values.•creating web application integrated with a machine learning model to classify and predict the corresponding color based on the HSV values.•predicting the color name with suggestions of matching colors will be displayed on the interface.

Influence of in-office whitening on the color matching and surface characteristics of single-shade resin composites.

The color matching of single-shade resin composites after in-office whitening was investigated. Four single-shade resin composites were used. A total of 35% hydrogen peroxide was used as the whitening agent. The resin composite was placed in a cavity of an artificially discolored bovine tooth. The color differences between the restoration and surrounding enamel before and after whitening were determined based on ΔE*ab, ΔE00, and ΔWID. The color stability, surface roughness (Sa), and surface gloss (GU) of the resin composite alone were also evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed using repeated-measures analysis of variance with the Tukey-Kramer test. Based on the 50:50% of perceptibility and acceptability thresholds of ΔE*ab and ΔE00, none of the resin composite restorations were clinically acceptable before or after whitening. Regarding ΔWID, although all resin composites showed "acceptable match" in the baseline, they showed "mismatch" after the third session of whitening. Most of the resin composites alone were stable in color against whitening. Although the single-shade resin composites failed to achieve the expected color matching on discolored teeth either before or after the whitening, the impact of the whitening on the color of the resin composite alone may be negligible.

An image Analysis Algorithm for Detecting Modified Content on the Internet Against Cybercrime. A Technique for Estimating the Probability of Modification

Aim: The aim of this study is to present a cutting-edge image analysis algorithm designed to estimate the probability of modifications in digital images, a critical component in cybersecurity for detecting altered content on the Internet. This technique enhances the accuracy of change detection by distinguishing real inconsistencies from accidental changes. As the problem of sophisticated image processing software and fake images continues to rise on the Internet, the issue of image authenticity becomes increasingly crucial in many areas of science and society. Traditional visual inspection methods are inadequate, as research shows human perception is limited in recognizing the authenticity of images. This study aims to improve the accuracy of detecting modifications by distinguishing authentic inconsistencies from random anomalies Project and methods: This project involves developing an algorithm that leverages noise analysis and a statistical validation step to detect image modifications. The algorithm employs the False Positive Rate Index (FPRI) to manage false positives, providing a reliable confidence level for each detection. The method includes visual exploration to interpret detections and compares the algorithm’s performance with other state-of-the-art techniques in scenarios such as retouching, coloring, and merging. The algorithm analyzes noise in images, considering changes in its statistical properties due to image processing like noise reduction, demosaicing, chromatic aberration correction, color matching, gamma correction, and image compression. It compares global noise curves with local ones to identify potential changes, with results visualized using heat maps. Results: The algorithm demonstrates promising performance across various test scenarios, successfully identifying true modifications among random events. However, it shows limitations in detecting certain types of forgeries, such as internal copy transfer and merging in high-noise areas. Tests conducted on various data sets, including scenarios of retouching, coloring, and merging, confirm the algorithm’s effectiveness in detecting modifications. The results are compared with other noise analysis methods such as Splicebuster, Noiseprint, and Mahdian, showing superior performance in most cases. Conclusions: The proposed method represents a significant advance in image forgery detection within the field of cybersecurity, offering rigorous statistical validation and a measurable level of detection confidence. Despite some challenges in detecting specific types of manipulation, the algorithm is a valuable tool in digital image analysis and forensic research, enhancing the reliability of image alteration detection. As the use of digital technologies increases, so does the importance of image interpretation in areas like fire investigations and other incidents involving records from both classical and thermographic imaging systems. This method is particularly valuable in forensic investigations, where objective evidence of image authenticity is crucial. Future challenges include the use of neural networks to replicate the characteristic noise of original images to hide alterations, underscoring the need for continued development of advanced forgery detection techniques.

With the advent of mono shade universal composites it is essential to deliver an esthetic restoration that symmetrically blends with the patient’s adjacent teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate color matching ability of mono- shade universal composite Omnichroma (TOKUYAMA)

The 24 months clinical evaluation of class II bulk fill composite restorations

Background: Resin Composite materials are widely used in daily clinical dentistry because of their moderate cost compared with ceramics, easy placement, adequate esthetics, ability to bond with enamel and dentine, and physico-chemical properties. Bulkfill composite materials were introduced to reduce chairside time. These materials have properties such as optimal bond strength, decreased polymerization shrinkage, and reduced cuspal deflection. This in-vivo study compared the clinical performance of three different class II resin composite restorations. Methods: Seventy-one patients (41 females and 30 males) aged 20–43 years with at least three approximal caries were included in the present study. Two hundred twenty-three teeth with approximal caries were restored with two bulk-fill composites (Tetric-N Ceram Bulk fill [TEC], Filtek Bulk Fill [FB]) and a posterior resin composite (Gradia Direct Posterior [GDP]). Two experienced dentists clinically evaluated the restorations with a 5x magnification loupe using the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria at baseline and at 24 months. Results: The chi-square test was performed for statistical analysis. The cumulative retention rate for all restorations at 24 months was 90.5%. Retention loss was observed for three TEC (6.1%), four FB (8.2), and seven GDP (14%) restorations. There was no statistically significant difference among the three resin composite restoration groups in color match, marginal adaptation, surface roughness, marginal discoloration, anatomical form, and secondary caries criteria (P&gt;0.05). Conclusion: Bulk-fill composite restorations in class II slot cavities have the same clinical results as traditional posterior composite restorations.

Xenogeneic Collagen Matrix Versus Free Gingival Graft for Augmenting Peri-Implant Keratinized Mucosa Around Dental Implants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

There is a growing evidence to suggest augmenting peri-implant keratinized mucosa in the presence of ≤ 2 mm of keratinized mucosa. However, the most appropriate surgical technique and augmentation materials have yet to be defined. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analyses was to evaluate the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of augmenting keratinized mucosa around implants using free gingival graft (FGG) versus xenogeneic collagen matrix (XCM) before commencing prosthetic implant treatment. Electronic databases were searched to identify observational studies comparing implant sites augmented with FGG to those augmented with XCM. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool. Six studies with 174 participants were included in the present review. Of these, 87 participants had FGG, whereas the remaining participants had XCM. At 6 months, sites augmented with FGG were associated with less changes in the gained width of peri-implant keratinized mucosa compared to those augmented with XCM (mean difference 1.06; 95% confidence interval -0.01 to 2.13; p = 0.05). The difference, however, was marginally significant. The difference between the two groups in changes in thickness of peri-implant keratinized mucosa at 6 months was statistically significantly in favor of FGG. On the other hand, XCM had significantly shorter surgical time, lower postoperative pain score, and higher color match compared to FGG. Within the limitation of this review, the augmentation of keratinized mucosa using FGG before the placement of the final prosthesis may have short-term positive effects on soft tissue thickness. XCM might be considered in aesthetically demanding implant sites and where patient comfortor shorter surgical time is a priority. The evidence support, however, is of low to moderate certainty; therefore, further studies are needed to support the findings of the present review.

The Effectiveness of Zirconia Crowns Versus Metal Crowns in Anterior Teeth: In vitro Study.

The selection between Zirconia crowns and metal crowns for anterior teeth restorations is pivotal in prosthodontics due to their distinct properties. However, a comprehensive investigation into their effectiveness in anterior tooth restorations is warranted. This in vitro study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Zirconia crowns and metal crowns in anterior teeth restorations. A total of thirty extracted human maxillary central incisors were prepared to receive crowns and randomly allocated into two groups: group A, zirconia crowns; and group B, metal crowns. The crowns were fabricated following standardized protocols and cemented onto the prepared teeth. Various tests, including fracture resistance, marginal adaptation, and color-matching assessment, were conducted on the samples. The mean fracture resistance of Zirconia crowns (Group A) was determined to be 320 N (SD ± 25), whereas it was 280 N (SD ± 30) for metal crowns (Group B). Marginal adaptation assessment revealed a mean gap width of 50 microns (SD ± 10) for Zirconia crowns and 70 microns (SD ± 15) for metal crowns. Evaluation of color matching showed a higher percentage of acceptable matches for Zirconia crowns compared to metal crowns. Zirconia crowns exhibited superior fracture resistance, marginal adaptation, and color matching in comparison to metal crowns for anterior teeth restorations. These findings advocate for Zirconia crowns as a more effective choice for restoring anterior teeth, offering both strength and esthetic appeal.

Clinical study of cervical caries treatment the effectiveness by assessing composite restorations condition

Background. Cervical caries is a fairly common teeth pathology and its treatment is carried out in complicated clinical conditions. Therefore, increasing the term of functioning of composite restorations is an urgent task. Aim. Identification of the effectiveness of a differential approach to dissection of hard dental tissues depending on the depth of enamel microcracks and implementation of professional hygiene in the treatment of cervical caries in the short- and long-term periods. Materials &amp; Methods. The study involved 50 people (average age [23.28±5.52] years) in whom cervical caries was treated in 72 teeth. All patients were divided into three equal groups based on the number of restorations according to the selected dissection technique and the chara­cteristics of professional hygiene. The dissection technique depended on the depth of the enamel microcracks in Main Group I (MG I), the dissection was carried out within the limits of clinically intact hard dental tissues in Control Group (CG) and Main Group II (MG II). The dental biofilm was removed from the vestibular surface of the teeth by the method of air-abrasive cleaning using the erythritol-based powder in MG I and MG II, the vestibular surface of the tooth was cleaned of dental deposits with a polishing paste without fluoride in CG. The quality of restorations was assessed based on the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria on the day of restoration, 6 and 12 months later. The effectiveness of the prescribed treatment was identified by the dynamic indicators of the dental pulp electroexcitability and the electrical conductivity of the enamel. Results. There were no partial or completely destroyed restorations in all terms of the observation period. Composite restorations were preserved according to the criteria of "anatomical shape" and "color matching". One year later restoration defects were absent in 61 teeth (84.72%): in MG I – in 22 (91.67%), in CG – in 19 (79.17%), in MG II – in 20 (83.33%). Recurrent caries and symptoms of hypersensitivity were not identified in MG I. A slightly greater effectiveness of the treatment was noted in MG II group in comparison with CG (by 4.16%) that confirms the importance of removing the dental biofilm before restoration by the method of air-abrasive clea­ning using erythritol. Conclusions. The analysis of the state of restorations in the long-term period showed that the dissection technique and the features of professional hygiene affected their quality before restoration. The number of high-quality composite restorations was by 10.42% more on average in MG I than in the other groups. The obtained results make it possible to recommend the proposed method for using in practical dentistry. Keywords: electroodontology, electroodontometry, microcracks.

Research on the Design of Zhuang Brocade Patterns Based on Automatic Pattern Generation

To promote the inheritance of Zhuang brocade culture and the rapid extraction of features and automatic generation of patterns, this paper constructs a feature dataset of Zhuang brocade patterns and proposes an automatic generation technology using relative coordinates and regional content replacement. Firstly, by sorting through a large number of cases, a feature dataset of Zhuang brocade patterns is constructed. For the significant features of Zhuang brocade patterns, intelligent extraction algorithms and processes are used to effectively extract the color matching, patterns, and organizational forms of the patterns into the feature dataset. Secondly, to generate Zhuang brocade patterns quickly, an automatic generation technology based on genotype encoding and regional replacement algorithms is proposed, which encodes these pattern elements into a format that can be interpreted by computer algorithms. Finally, through similarity evaluation, the method’s feasibility for rapid extraction and generation of Zhuang brocade patterns is effectively verified. This method is significant for the inheritance of Zhuang brocade patterns and the development of the intangible cultural heritage industry.

Revisiting Scalp Tissue Expander In Indonesia: Restoration Of Cicatricial Alopecia

Background: Scalp alopecia from burn injuries significantly impacts physical appearance and psychological well-being, often leading to social phobia. Tissue expanders have been effective in reconstructive surgeries, offering advantages in restoring hair-bearing scalp areas with excellent color and texture match. However, comprehensive algorithms for their use, particularly in Indonesia, are lacking. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old girl with cicatricial alopecia on the right lateral, frontal, and vertex of the scalp from a burn injury sought reconstructive surgery due to teasing from peers. A 400 mL round silicone expander was implanted and gradually expanded over five weeks. Reconstruction surgery advanced the expanded flap towards the frontal area, improving her hairline. Despite minor necrosis at the flap’s distal margin, which healed by secondary intention, the outcome was favorable. Discussion: This case demonstrates the effectiveness of tissue expanders in scalp reconstruction. Benefits include improved cosmetic outcomes and decreased donor site morbidity, though complications such as infection and alopecia in the expanded tissue require careful management. The underutilization of tissue expanders in Indonesia may be due to lack of insurance coverage and limited local availability. Conclusion: Scalp tissue expansion is a beneficial technique for reconstructing scalp defects, especially in burn-induced alopecia. Wider adoption in regions with limited advanced modalities could significantly benefit patients.

Individual differences in color matches and cone spectral sensitivities in 51 young adults

Forty-six young adult observers with normal color vision (plus five from an earlier study) made a series of color matches using a new LED-based, multi-wavelength visual trichromator. Thirteen LED lights of different wavelengths were combined to produce 11 triplets of lights that observers were asked to match to a white reference light of 7500 K over visual angles of either 2° or 10°. Matches were initially made by asking observers to adjust the intensities of the three lights making up each triplet. As the experiment progressed, a more intuitive matching procedure was developed. By transforming the triplet of lights into CIELAB space, observers adjusted colors using lightness (L*), redness-greenness (a*), and blueness-yellowness (b*) to make the match with white. The new procedure proved easier for observers and reduced the inter- and intra-observer variability. Given that each of the 11 matches to the reference white for a given observer (obtained by either method) should produce identical L-, M- and S-cone excitations, we were able to use the matches to infer the individual cone spectral sensitivities for each observer and thus estimate the range of individual differences across our 51 observers. By applying a model of the CIEPO06 standard LMS observer, the photopigment, macular and lens optical densities and the L- and M-cone photopigment spectral shifts that best equated the three-cone excitations across the 11 matches were found for each observer. The individual differences were consistent with the CIEPO06 observer except for a 3 nm shift of the M-cone photopigment to longer wavelengths and a slightly denser 2-deg macular pigment density.
