The Effectiveness of Conventional and Advanced Aligning Archwires: The Insights of Two Randomized Clinical Trials
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p> Objectives This study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness of four aligning archwires: Superelastic Nickel-Titanium (Superelastic-NiTi), SmartArch, Copper-Nickel-Titanium (Cu-NiTi), and Speed Tubular coaxial-Nickel-Titanium (Tubular coaxial-NiTi), regarding the alignment efficiency, associated perception of pain, and possibility of inducing root resorption.</p><p> Materials and Methods This study includes two randomized clinical trials run in parallel. Patients with 5 to 9 mm of mandibular anterior teeth crowding according to Little's irregularity index (LII) who needed fixed orthodontic appliances without extraction were randomly assigned to four groups of aligning archwires (each trial with two groups): 0.014-inch, 0.018-inch Superelastic-NiTi; 0.016-inch SmartArch; 0.014-inch, 0.018-inch Cu-NiTi; and 0.016-inch, 0.018-inch Tubular coaxial-NiTi. LII was measured pretreatment and every 4 weeks for the next 16 weeks. Pain perception was assessed using a visual analogue scale in the first 7 days after the placement of each archwire. Periapical radiographs for mandibular central incisors were taken pretreatment and after 16 weeks to assess root resorption. The alignment efficiency was tested using a repeated measures analysis of variance test with mixed factorial design (between and within-subject effect), while pain perception and root resorption were tested using the Kruskal–Wallis test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.</p><p> Results A total of 73 patients were recruited from different centers. The analysis included 64 patients who completed the trials. Neither clinical nor statistical significance was found between the groups regarding the alignment. Similarly, there was no significant difference between the four groups regarding pain perception and root resorption. However, root resorption was slightly more in the Superelastic-NiTi group than in the other groups.</p><p> Limitations The short time that root resorption was reported.</p><p> Conclusions The four types of archwires performed comparably regarding the alignment efficiency, associated perception of pain, and the possibility of inducing root resorption.</p><p> Registration The trials included in this study were registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on May 26, 2022 (Registration number: NCT05391542) and August 18, 2022 (Registration number: NCT05510206).</p>

Synthesis and characterization of Iron tungstate oxide films by advanced controlled spray pyrolysis technique
...Show More Authors

For the first time Iron tungstate semiconductor oxides films (FeWO4) was successfully synthesized simply by advanced controlled chemical spray pyrolysis technique, via employed double nozzle instead of single nozzle using tungstic acid and iron nitrate solutions at three different compositions and spray separately at same time on heated silicone (n-type) substrate at 600 °C, followed by annealing treatment for one hour at 500 °C. The crystal structure, microstructure and morphology properties of prepared films were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), electron Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) respectively. According to characterization techniques, a material of well-crystallized monoclinic ph

Evaluation of Postgraduate Clinical Educational Environment in The Context of Iraqi Medical Education.
...Show More Authors

Background: A carefully planned clinical medical education is critical for the provision of supportive clinical educational environment. The latter will ensure effective teaching, active learning and good attitudes and performance at the bedside. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical learning environment at AL-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital. Materials and Methods: A descripitive cross-sectional study involved resident doctors from Internal Medicine and Surgery departments who had six months or more residency training in the respective departments. Data were collected using the Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure. Data where analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21.0 and presented us

Clinical evaluations for the masticatory efficiency of heat cure resin and flexible types of denture base materials
...Show More Authors

Background: The aim of this study was for estimation and comparism of masticatory efficiency in patient wearing heat cured acrylic and flexible base partial denture, finding out the role of peanuts and carrots on the measurement of chewing efficiency, and to find out whether the types of P.D. (being single or two opposing each other) has any effect on the masticatory performance. Materials and methods: Twenty partially edentulous patients were selected. Five of these patients were selected having Kennedy class I with no modification against natural dentition, other 5patients having Cl.I against Cl.I . The other 5 patients having Cl.III against natural dentition and the last 5 patients were with Cl.III against Cl.III. several ways were used

The Effectiveness of Teaching Practices of Science and Mathematics Teachers Based on the National Framework for Future Skills in the Omani School
...Show More Authors

Abstract

The research aims to identify the level of effectiveness of the teaching practices of science and mathematics teachers in light of the national framework for future skills in Omani schools. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used the descriptive approach, as he designed a note card consisting of (30) phrases distributed on three axes: basic skills, practical skills, and technical skills. After verifying the validity and reliability of the tools, they were applied to a sample of (116) teachers. The results of the research revealed that the level of effectiveness of the teaching practices of mathematics teachers has recorded a medium degree with a mean (3.05). The results a

Advanced Intelligent Data Hiding Using Video Stego and Convolutional Neural Networks
...Show More Authors

Steganography is a technique of concealing secret data within other quotidian files of the same or different types. Hiding data has been essential to digital information security. This work aims to design a stego method that can effectively hide a message inside the images of the video file.  In this work, a video steganography model has been proposed through training a model to hiding video (or images) within another video using convolutional neural networks (CNN). By using a CNN in this approach, two main goals can be achieved for any steganographic methods which are, increasing security (hardness to observed and broken by used steganalysis program), this was achieved in this work as the weights and architecture are randomized. Thus,

Abstract:

             The distribution or retention of profits is the third decision among financial management decisions in terms of priority, whether at the level of theory or practice, as the issue of distribution or retention is multi-party in terms of influence and impact, as determining the optimal percentage for each component is still the subject of intellectual debate because these decisions are linked to the future of the organization and several considerations, The research focus on the nature of the policies followed by the Iraqi banking sector As the sample chosen by the intentional sampling method was represented by the Commercial Bank of
