Abstract:
AbstractAnalysis of the face is an essential component of facial plastic surgery. In training, we are taught standards and ideals based on neoclassical models of beauty from Greek and Roman art and architecture. In practice, we encounter a wide range of variation in patient desires and perceptions of beauty. Our goals seem to be ever shifting, yet our education has provided us with a foundation from which to draw ideals of beauty. Plastic surgeons must synthesize classical ideas of beauty with patient desires, cultural nuances, and ethnic considerations all the while maintaining a natural appearance and result. This article gives an overview of classical models of facial proportions and relationships, while also discussing unique ethnic and cultural considerations which may influence the goal for the individual patient.

Abstract:
Summary Introduction The aim was to evaluate the difference in en-face anthropometric facial parameters and proportions of patients with Class II malocclusion, before and after orthodontic treatment as well as changes in linear parameters and facial proportions and their deviation from ideal values. Material and method In this study, en-face photographs before and after the treatment of 50 Class II malocclusion patients were used. Patients were divided in two groups; first group comprised 25 patients treated with multibracket appliance with extractions, and second group included 25 patients treated without extractions, using fixed functional Herbst and multibracket appliance. On each and every photo before and after the treatment facial points and lines were drawn, and linear parameters were determined, based on those markers. Results showed change in anthropometric parameters in both groups of patients. Statistically significant difference was found for parameters in the middle and lower facial third. Facial proportions changed after the treatment in both groups and they approached ideal values and golden proportion 1:1.618 in the lower facial third. Conclusion Patients with Class II, division 1 malocclusion, deviate from an ideal set of proportions, particularly in the lower facial third. After the orthodontic treatment, anthropometric parameters in the lower facial third were approaching ideal values.

Embora não se possa prevenir o nascimento de indivíduos fissurados, podemos adotar atitudes e procedimentos vários, plenamente viáveis dentro de um complexo hospitalar-médico-odonto-psico-fono-pedagógico-social para tratamento, reabilitação e recuperação destas pessoas. Visando minorar o sofrimento destes pacientes, é que desenvolvemos este trabalho para provar que, senão de uma maneira “ideal”, mas bastante aceitável, podemos reintegrar estes indivíduos ao convívio de seus familiares e amigos, oferecendo-lhes mais segurança nos seus relacionamentos social, psíquico e humano. Fizemos um levantamento na literatura especializada nas últimas três décadas; encontramos inúmeras possibilidades de recuperação protética, no que concerne à estética, à mastigação e ao relacionamento maxilomandibular, além de permitir a esses pacientes condições de realizarem satisfatoriamente as funções da deglutinação e fala. Selecionamos e executamos cinco casos clínicos em uma mostragem de quinze pacientes previamente triados, procurando uma diversificação nos planejamentos protéticos. Mostramos ainda a enorme contribuição que os implantes osteointegrados podem oferecer na reabilitação e recuperação de pacientes com lesão labiopalatal congênita. Para facilitar o entendimento procuramos discutir os mais variados tipos de próteses em tópicos distintos, abordando cada uma delas isoladamente; mostrando que a especificidade de cada caso condiciona a uma conduta reabilitadora específica e individualizada, embasada em conceitos de estética, oclusão, suporte ósseo, espaço protético, retenção e, acima de tudo, do bom sendo e da honestidade profissional
Although one cannot prevent the birth of human beings with cleft palate lesions one can adopt attitudes and various procedures entirely viable to rehabilitate and recuperate these persons through a team work composed of the facilities of a hospital, physician, dentist, psychotherapist, epeech pathologist, pedagogue and a social worker. In order to reduce the suffering of these patients we took up this work to prove that even if not in an ideal manner nevertheleses in an acceptable one we can reintegrate these persons to their families, friends and social milieu, offering them more security in their social, psychic and human relationships. We have made a review of the literature during the last three decades where we found many possibilities of prosthetic recuperations which concerns esthetics, mastication and maxillomandibular relationships beyond allowing these pacients conditions to perform satisfactory the functions of deglution and speech. We have selected and executed 5 clinical cases out of 15 pacients formely choosen looking to different prosthetic plannings. We have also shown the major contribution that the osseous integrated implants can offer to the rehabilitation and recuperation of pacients whith congenitall labio palatal lesions. To simplify the understanding we tried to discuss the most varied types of prosthesis in well defined subjects having a separate approach for each of them and we still showed that the specificity of each case leads to a specific type of rehabilitation founded om esthetics, occlusion, osseous suport, edentulous space, and above all based in the common sense and Professional integrity

Abstract:
This work develops a discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization of non- linear hyperbolic conservation equations with efficient and robust high order stabilization built on an entropy-based artificial viscosity approximation. The solutions of equations are represented by elementwise polynomials of an arbitrary degree p > 0 which are continuous within each element but discontinuous on the boundaries. The discretization of equations in time is done by means of high order explicit Runge-Kutta methods identified with respective Butcher tableaux. To stabilize a numerical solution in the vicinity of shock waves and simultaneously preserve the smooth parts from smearing, we add some reasonable amount of artificial viscosity in accordance with the physical principle of entropy production in the interior of shock waves. The viscosity coefficient is proportional to the local size of the residual of an entropy equation and is bounded from above by the first-order artificial viscosity defined by a local wave speed. Since the residual of an entropy equation is supposed to be vanishingly small in smooth regions (of the order of the Local Truncation Error) and arbitrarily large in shocks, the entropy viscosity is almost zero everywhere except the shocks, where it reaches the first-order upper bound. One- and two-dimensional benchmark test cases are presented for nonlinear hyperbolic scalar conservation laws and the system of compressible Euler equations. These tests demonstrate the satisfactory stability properties of the method and optimal convergence rates as well. All numerical solutions to the test problems agree well with the reference solutions found in the literature. We conclude that the new method developed in the present work is a valuable alternative to currently existing techniques of viscous stabilization.

Abstract:
The monograph presents conceptual approaches and practical recommendations for the formation of a system for monitoring pricing processes in the economy. The main idea of creating such a system is to ensure the transparency of pricing processes, the exclusion of price manipulation practices, and the implementation of the principle of fair business conduct. The presented research examines the problems of setting final prices in the economy on a systematic basis: from an institutional point of view, economic practices, features of legal regulation and information support of pricing processes in the economy are described. On the example of a large amount of factual material, the inconsistency of purely market relations and the risks that arise in this case are shown, the need for monitoring pricing processes is proved. For a wide range of readers interested in the nature of pricing processes in methodological and practical aspects.

Abstract:
The notion that there are universal facial expressions of basic emotion remains a dominant idea in the study of emotion. Inspired by pragmatics, and based on behavioral ecology and psychological constructionism, this chapter provides an alternative to the concept of facial expression of basic emotion: the concept of natural facial expression. Actual, observable natural facial expressions do not mean self-contained, discrete basic emotions; they are instead related to different components of diverse emotional episodes. Their communicative function is not semantic (e.g., a smile does not means happiness) but pragmatic (e.g., a smile prompts, on the receiver’s side, important inferences about the context and course of the interaction between sender and receiver).

This Discussion Paper was drafted for an International IDEA webinar on Taming the Incumbency Advantage (25 May 2021), the first of a series on innovative constitutional design options. It has been revised and updated to reflect contributions from webinar participants: Professor Juvence F. Ramasy (Madagascar), Professor Ridwanul Hoque (Bangladesh) and Professor Gabriel Negretto (Latin America), among others. The webinar series seeks to identify, discuss, profile and showcase the ‘hidden treasures’ of innovative constitutional/institutional design options—including from the Global ‘South’—with potential to help tackle emerging and recurrent challenges facing societies around the world. The goal is not to promote any specific institutional design, but rather to enrich conversations about constitutional reform processes and share comparative constitutional law and practice insights among academic and practitioners’ communities.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the late nineteenth century, it became understood that the patterns on the skin of the fingers were unique and could be used for identification purposes, leading to the development of biometric identification (Smith M, Mann M, Urbas G. Biometrics, crime and security. Routledge, 2018). The ease with which fingerprints can be accessed and recorded, and the ease with which they transfer to surfaces and objects, made them ideal for law enforcement purposes. Today, in digital form, fingerprints and other biometric identification techniques, notably DNA profiles and facial recognition technology, are a widely used means of identification across a range of applications, from accessing personal devices, to banking, border security and law enforcement. However, these uses have raised a raft of ethical or moral (we use these terms interchangeably) concerns, some of the more important of which we discuss in this work.In the first chapter, we discuss general aspects of biometric identification, before focusing on fingerprint identification, including its reliability as form of evidence. Secondly, we provide an overview of applied ethics; and outline a key theoretical notion, relevant to many of the issues discussed throughout the later chapters: collective responsibility. Finally, we analyse the ethical risks and benefits associated with the technique of fingerprint identification.

Abstract:
In recent years, the European Union has been facing a number of challenges that it is finding it increasingly difficult to overcome. Most EU member states are facing a crisis of confidence in Europe and its institutions, and at the same time nationalist political parties and ideas are developing more and more, leading to a weakening of European solidarity. Eastern European countries weakened awareness of the collective interest. The common values that existed until then have become “diluted”, because different understandings of the nature of the state have emerged, as well as different views on international politics. At the same time, support for European integration among citizens has been declining, and fewer and fewer have seen membership as good and can bring significant benefits. Today, the idea of a united EU is in crisis and that is precisely the cause of the crisis the Union is facing.

Abstract:
Human factors receive increasing attention in maritime operations as it is found that human errors cause up to 90% of maritime incidents. One of the solutions to enhance safety in maritime navigation is to consider both technical and non-technical skills during training and assessment. Technical skills are always the first and foremost step in training or assessment. However, it may not be enough to solely conduct the navigation safely and efficiently by technical skills. Non-technical skills such as situational awareness, workload and stress management, and decision making also play a critical role in safe navigation and should not be overlooked. In addition, the seafarers spend a long time on board as part of their typical work pattern, and due to the current pandemic, they might be stranded at sea for even longer. It has been urged that ship owners and managers take the right actions to care for seafarers' mental well-being, such as stress and fatigue. To fulfil the needs of non-technical skill assessment and monitoring of mental well-being, electroencephalogram (EEG) is utilized to recognize the seafarers' mental stress when performing specific tasks in a full-mission Advanced Navigation Research Simulator (ANRS). The EEG-based recognition has unique advantages over the other biosensors. For example, it has high temporal resolution and reflects the mental states that are not identifiable from facial expressions with acceptable accuracy. A simulator allows the researchers to design and implement navigation scenarios with different weather conditions, traffic density, vessel types, emergency alarms, etc. This is ideal for conducting experiments for human factors study. An experiment has been designed and conducted in ANRS to validate the use of EEG for maritime navigational competency assessment. Participants with varied maritime backgrounds and roles were invited for data collection, e.g., navigating officers and experienced marine Pilots. Demanding events such as engine failure, close quarter situation, and other bridge equipment failure were marked during the EEG data recording. The results show that the EEG based stress recognition correlates with the demanding events in the experiment and can reflect the difficulty level of the challenging circumstances. The proposed EEG-based recognition can be used to study the human element in competency assessment using a maritime navigation simulator to ensure objective competency assessment.

Full text
Abstract:
The article deals with the problem facing Latvian inventors in how to develop the idea to a real product. There are often cases where innovative ideas “migrate” from original inventors to other inventors, when they turn to them to seek support for developing and supporting the idea. The main components of the guidelines are the establishment of a patent application and, in general, a description of the entire patent acquisition process and the creation of a life cycle analysis using the SimaPro software. The article is intended primarily for the development of environmentally friendly inventions, which is why the life cycle analysis is one of the main components of the article, to make it possible to conclude whether the production and use of the new product will not result in a higher “ecological footprint” than previously used technologies, paying particular attention to the inventor stage in order to accurately develop a life-cycle analysis. The article does not only explore the necessary theoretical knowledge of the realisation of the idea to the product, but also looks at the pilot case, a practical example of an innovative “dust co-firing burner” compared to the conventional natural gas burner. The life-cycle analysis compares the following steps: manufacture of plants, transportation of plants and special emphasis on the combustion phase of fuels, three scenarios are examined: a natural gas burner burning natural gas, a dust burner in which natural gas is co-incinerated and fine wood particles − dust and a dust burner burning. biomethane and wood dust. The use of such an installation would not only reduce emissions from the replacement of natural gas by wood dust, but also allow energy companies to work more effectively, as it would be possible to regulate the proportion of different fuels depending on demand, because the fuels have different heat of combustion. The article establishes a methodology to analyse the quality and implementation of inventions in response to the following key questions: − how to identify original ideas and how to protect authors from the migration of ideas; − how to collect and analyse the risks associated with migration of ideas; − how to use life cycle analysis for the assessment of the “ecological footprint” of the invention.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective/Scope Facies distribution in the static model of carbonate reservoirs provides a framework for the distribution the other petrophysical properties. Lower Shuaiba (LSH) reservoir model in Field WU is aiming to provide improved facies distribution to improve STOIIP calculation and well placement/count. Lower Shuaiba reservoir is characterised by 5 lithostratigraphic cycles with different facies and rock types. These facies are consistent in the lower zones, however they are more variable in the top layers 1A (in the oil window). This layer is dominated by skeletal packstones, skeletal wackestones and thin beds of Rudist floatstones/rudstones as characterised from core data. These facies are comparable in their log responses and therefore cannot be differentiated with logs alone. However, they have different properties (Por, Perm) which have a great impact on STOIIP and well placement. Moreover, the Rudist-rich rock type is interpreted as an imbibed layer which adds more complexity to the reservoir model. Methods, Procedures, Process Two model scenarios were built based on the different facies distribution methods: (1) core-based method, which is limited for few wells and assuming lateral continuity of rock types between the wells; (2) capillary-based method, which uses the Saturation height function to predict the facies. This method uses the idea that facies differ in their capillary entry-height and thus will have different saturation responses. Whenever possible, these were then compared with core data. Results, Observations, Conclusions This new capillary-based model improved the volume estimation compared with the layer-cake model because of the improved mapping of the imbibed Rudist facie. The model allows ranking the proposed wells based on their facies distribution to maximise well production and reduce early water breakthrough. It also explains the anomalies in saturation/production (caused by facies distribution) in some of the existing wells. The study found that the anomalous high peak resistivity is associated with the imbibed Rudist layer (confirmed by log and production test) and should be avoided while drilling the horizontal section. It also highlighted the important of continuous appraisal in the area to add control points for the facies model. Novel or Additive Information The paleo Free Water Level (FWL) for Lower Shuaiba formation was determined based on the best fit between a core-based (drainage) saturation-height models and Archie log saturation. The FWL could not be identified on pressure plot due to the large scatter of pressure points which is typical for this low permeability /low mobility reservoir. Other factors such as wettability heterogeneities, fluid fill history and hysteresis makes it difficult to define the oil gradient and hence FWL. This FWL and saturation height function (SHF) were then used to predict the rock types, based on best match iterations between saturation log and saturation calculated by SHF.

Abstract:
Abstract One important issue in understanding and modeling of turbulent heat transfer is the behavior of fluctuating temperature close to the wall. Common engineering computational approach assumes constant heat flux boundary condition on heated walls. In the present paper constant heat flux boundary condition was assumed and effects of temperature fluctuations are investigated using large eddy simulations (LES) approach. A series of large eddy simulations for two geometries is performed: First, forced convection in channels and second, forced convection over a backward facing step. LES simulation data is statistically analyzed and compared with results of direct numerical simulations (DNS) from the literature which apply three cases of heat flux boundary conditions: 1. ideal heat flux boundary condition, 2. non-ideal heat flux boundary condition, 3. conjugate heat transfer boundary condition. For low Prandtl number flows LES results show that, despite very good agreement for velocities and mean temperature, predictions of temperature fluctuations may have strong deficiencies if simplified boundary conditions are applied.

Abstract:
A new approach to harmonize a human emotional state is proposed. It is based on timely revealing and working through hidden negative emotions. The main ideas proving the possibility to implement this approach are described. The experimental investigation results for selected methods of revealing hidden negative emotions and working them through are represented. The video sequences reproducing emotions are used as input data. The ultimate research aim is the software system construction for the human emotional state harmonization. The effect of using such a system will be maintaining the health and increasing the quality of life of the modern human. The basic functions of this system are highlighted. The problem of repressing emotions and its possible negative consequences for the health are considered. The possibility of revealing repressed emotions from facial micro-expressions is justified. The main stages of the micro-facial movement detection by hybrid methods are considered in details. Each stage results are illustrated using the software pipeline developed in the previous research. It is proposed to work through revealed negative emotions by executing the individually selected physical activity set. The problem of the execution accuracy control of these exercises when working without assistance is considered. The health-improving exercise model is represented. The possibility of recording the motion trajectory using a smartphone software solution is shown. The method of the motion execution accuracy estimation on the basis of dynamic time warping is described. The development and implementation prospects of the proposed approach based on a smartphone software solution are justified.

Abstract:
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys are a standard survey tool for obtaining patient assessments of health plans, hospitals, and health care providers. These surveys measure patient experiences of care, which is considered a component of health care quality. Providers use their survey results to improve patient experience, which is associated with better health care outcomes and reduced costs. CAHPS data also empower consumers and payers to make more informed choices about providers or facilities. Some people argue that CAHPS surveys are outdated and distract providers from clinical health care quality. In this paper, we review the benefits of CAHPS, the current challenges of these surveys, and ideas for modernization and innovation to ensure these surveys remain relevant. We encourage the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and its contractors to review and implement these innovations to the CAHPS surveys and the dissemination of their results.

Full text
Abstract:
Multiple oil discoveries reveal the global scale and economic importance of a distinctive reservoir type composed of possible microbial lacustrine carbonates like the Lower Cretaceous pre-salt reservoirs in deepwater offshore Brazil and Angola. Marine microbialite reservoirs are also important in the Neoproterozoic to lowest Cambrian starta of the South Oman Salt Basin as well as large Paleozoic deposits including those in the Caspian Basin of Kazakhstan (e.g., Tengiz field), and the Cedar Creek Anticline fields and Ordovician Red River “B” horizontal play of the Williston Basin in Montana and North Dakota, respectively. Evaluation of the various microbial fabrics and facies, associated petrophysical properties, diagenesis, and bounding surfaces are critical to understanding these reservoirs. Utah contains unique analogs of microbial hydrocarbon reservoirs in the modern Great Salt Lake and the lacustrine Tertiary (Eocene) Green River Formation (cores and outcrop) within the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah. Comparable characteristics of both lake environments include shallowwater ramp margins that are susceptible to rapid widespread shoreline changes, as well as compatible water chemistry and temperature ranges that were ideal for microbial growth and formation/deposition of associated carbonate grains. Thus, microbialites in Great Salt Lake and from the Green River Formation exhibit similarities in terms of the variety of microbial textures and fabrics. In addition, Utah has numerous examples of marine microbial carbonates and associated facies that are present in subsurface analog oil field cores.

Abstract:
A central challenge facing firms is how to incentivize employees. While objective, output-based incentives may be theoretically ideal, in practice they may lead employees to reduce effort on non-incentivized outcomes and may fail in settings where effort is weakly tied to output. We study the effect of subjective incentives (manager performance evaluation) and objective incentives (test score-based) relative to no incentives for teachers using an RCT in 230 Pakistani schools. First, we show that subjective and objective incentives both increase test scores and have similar magnitude effects. However, objective incentives decrease non-test score student outcomes relative to subjective incentives. Second, we show that teachers’ effort response is very different under each scheme, with attendance increasing under subjective and teaching quality decreasing under objective. Finally, we rationalize these effects through the lens of a moral hazard model with multi-tasking. We use within-treatment variation to isolate the causal effect of contract noise and distortion and show that these channels explain most of our reduced form effects.

Abstract:
Democracy cannot prosper without democrats. The challenges facing the democratic transformation in Sudan are immense. This report signified the power-sharing intricacies that had been in place for over two years between the civilians and military. The 25 October coup put an end to that partnership. Nonetheless, people in Sudan are increasingly determined to regain their democratic transition. Building Democracy requires more than extending goodwill. It has always been said democracy cannot prosper without democrats. In context, International IDEA Sudan’s Programme saw the need to explore the perceptions of the main stakeholder in the democratic transition of Sudan, its people. The primary objective of this report is to study the perceptions among the Sudanese population of the motivations for and barriers to democratic participation. The study aims to generate a baseline of understanding to guide the design of further relevant civic education interventions. Methodologically, this was achieved using primary and secondary data sources: Primary data was collected through direct fieldwork using a structured questionnaire, interviews, focus group discussions and key informant interviews, as well as participatory observation. Secondary sources were collated in a desk review of existing academic and public opinion research, such as data from Afro-barometer and the International IDEA Global State of Democracy Indices.

Kim, Jinwon, and Jucheol Moon. Congestion Costs and Scheduling Preferences of Car Commuters in California: Estimates Using Big Data. Mineta Transportation Institute, March 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.31979/mti.2022.2031.

Full text
Abstract:
On average, California car commuters waste 4–5 minutes per morning commute due to congestion. Multiplied across all California car commuters, those few minutes entail a yearly total of approximately 2.3 billion hours of time wasted, costing 6 billion dollars. The objective of this study is to quantify congestion costs and determine how commuters adapt to the level of congestion they face (i.e., commuters’ scheduling utility functions). To that end, this research developed a model of trip scheduling under congestion to construct California commuters’ travel-time profiles, i.e., the menu of travel times that each individual would likely face according to alternate trip timing choices. The results show that commuters facing higher levels of congestion tend to avoid delays by arriving at an inconvenient edge time rather than commuting during the peak. Further, commuters are willing to accept about 0.5 additional minutes of schedule delay to reduce travel time by 1 minute. We found that for most commuters in our data, the travel time profile is much flatter than the estimated schedule utility, which implies that commuters tend to arrive around their own ideal arrival times, although the estimated utility function exhibits a moderate schedule inflexibility. This finding ultimately calls into question the existing bottleneck model’s quantification of the economic cost of congestion as well as the optimal toll to ameliorate congestion.

Health Education Materials for the Workplace: Tools. Population Council, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/sbsr2017.1007.

Full text
Abstract:
Companies can derive many benefits from educating workers on health. Yet workplaces in many lower income countries have a need for easy-to-access, on-demand health education materials. The Evidence Project/Meridian in partnership with Bayer has developed a set of health education materials for these industrial and agricultural workplaces. The materials cover important health issues facing women and men workers: - Family Planning - Engaged Fathers and Health - Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancy - Menstrual Hygiene - Handwashing These materials are designed to be printed at the workplace on desktop printers, making the materials easy to access and available on demand. They are available in English, Bengali (approved by the Ministry of Health), and Arabic. The materials, in color and black and white (to save on printing costs), come in three types: - Mini-Posters (MP), to be posted in public areas - Handouts (HO), for workers to take home and containing a bit more information - Supplemental materials (QA) to reinforce learning. Each workplace can determine how best to use these materials. The Implementation Guide gives workplace health staff and managers ideas for fitting the materials into their health promotion activities. There is also a User’s Guide for Brands/Retailers, NGOs and other interested parties explaining how the materials can be used in their workplace programs in global supply chains.
