Treatment Of Class III with Facemask Therapy
Get PDFIntroduction: Angle Class III malocclusion has been a challenge and one of the most difficult malocclusions concerning diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Diagnosis, treatment planning and prognosis depend on patient age, growth potential and severity of malocclusion. Case description: The aim of this case report was to describe and discuss the treatment of a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion with mechanical orthopedic appliances. Female patient, age 9 years with skeletal Class III malocclusion was treated with the Delair Facemask as a specialized orthodontic appliance, which applies controlled, continuous forces to the facial structure, aiding in the proper alignment of the teeth and promoting optimal jaw development. Discussion: The SNA angle had increased while SNB decreased resulting in a normal jaw relationship (ANB=2°). The results of this case showed that Class III malocclusion should be intercepted as early as possible to permit growth redirection, mainly when the maxilla is the primary etiologic factor. Conclusion/clinical significance: Maxillary intramembranous growth has a better response to orthopedic treatment, based on growth control and redirection, thus contributing for early intervention success. Early intervention, adequate indication of appliances, and patient compliance are key factors for
good outcomes.
Key Words: Angle Class III malocclusion, interceptive treatment, Delair Facemask
Motor rehabilitation in Angelman syndrome – a case report
Get PDFThe purpose of this report is to present a case of a girl with Angelman syndrome and the development of motor skills over a period of 9 years.
Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder first described by Harry Angelman in 1965, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 12,000–20,000 live births. It is most commonly caused by a deletion or mutation of the maternally inherited UBE3A gene on chromosome 15q11–q13. Clinical features include severe intellectual disability, absent or minimal speech, ataxic gait, seizures, and a characteristic happy demeanor. Motor impairments in AS are profound and persistent, often limiting independence into adulthood. Hypotonia, poor coordination, and balance deficits are common, and many individuals require lifelong mobility support. Physiotherapy is a key component of multidisciplinary care, aiming to maximize functional potential, prevent secondary complications, and enhance quality of life.
Case Presentation: Patient is a female, diagnosed with AS (at age 6) via genetic testing confirming a maternal deletion in 15q11–q13. Condition at the start of the rehabilitation at age 2: Unable to stand without support, severe hypotonia, poor head and trunk control, frequent seizures (controlled with medications), sleep disturbances. Comorbidities: Epilepsy, mild scoliosis, gastroesophageal reflux. The patient lived with her parents, who were actively involved in her care and home exercise program. Rehabilitation Goals: Improve gross motor skills, enhance postural stability, promote independent mobility, prevent contractures and secondary musculoskeletal complications, facilitate participation in play and school activities. Therapy was delivered 3–5 sessions/week in early years, tapering to 2–3 sessions/week in later years, supplemented by a structured home exercise program.
Results: Motor Milestones Age 3: Independent sitting, Age 4.5: Crawling and pulling to stand, Age 6: Independent walking with ankle foot orthoses, Age 9: Stair climbing with supervision
Discussion: This case demonstrates that long term, structured physiotherapy can lead to substantial functional gains in AS. The patient achieved independent ambulation, improved endurance, and greater participation in daily activities. Previous studies report that many individuals with AS remain non ambulatory or require significant support. This case suggests that with sustained, intensive therapy, higher functional levels are achievable.
Conclusion: An 9 year physiotherapy program in a child with Angelman Syndrome resulted in marked improvements in gross motor function, mobility, and participation. This supports the integration of lifelong physiotherapy into standard AS care, with emphasis on individualized, goal oriented interventions

SCADA Monitoring on Radio Relayed Station at Hydro Melioration System Supported in Iot Network
Get PDFAbstract: In modern technological development, the commitment to the application of sophisticated
electronic systems is noticeable not only in electric power plants but also in industries for healthy and quality
food, such as agriculture. We witness daily tribunes and panel discussions sponsored by companies and even
governments for the introduction of the terminology of digital agriculture, i.e. the introduction of smart
electronic solutions in agriculture. In addition to the commitment to so-called green energy, i.e. obtaining
energy from renewable sources, the development of digitization in agriculture is an area in which an enormous
application of smart electronic systems is expected in the future. Guided by these reasons, in this paper an
electronic system is designed that provides a solution to a problem in hydro melioration system, i.e. the
development, design and practical implementation of the Smart electronic system which enables data exchange
between the soil irrigation line, MASTER station with screen SCADA and SLAVE stations. The temperature
and humidity on the soil and the air are measured in the irrigation line with electronic module SLAVE 1 station.
The communication between the irrigation line (SLAVE 1) and the MASTER station is realized with RF
network. The MASTER station is installed in one part on industrial plant and here is SCADA screen. The
SLAVE 2 station is installed in another part on industrial plant. The SLAVE 2 station is connected by RF (radio
frequency connection) to the SLAVE 1station and the same is connected with WIFI in IoT network. In the
MASTER, SLAVE 1 and SLAVE 2 stations, microcontroller units as well as appropriate RF modules are
installed. The microcontroller in the SLAVE 2 station is connected to the IoT microcontroller for the transfer of
measurement data in the Internet network. The solution provides visualization, data log file, and transfer to the
IoT network of process data on irrigation line in hydro melioration system.

Integration of Emerging Technologies in Cybersecurity Education
Get PDFEmerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR) are revolutionizing
cybersecurity education by offering immersive, interactive learning experiences tailored to the tech
savvy Generation Z and Alpha learners. Traditional educational methods are increasingly inadequate for
preparing students to navigate the rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape.
Virtual labs, AI-driven tutors, and cyber training environments create dynamic learning opportunities
where students can engage in realistic simulations to develop critical skills in threat detection, response,
and mitigation. However, challenges such as high implementation costs, rapid technological advancements,
and a shortage of qualified instructors complicate the integration of these technologies.
Despite these challenges, the advantages of AI and VR are significant. AI-powered personalized learning
and immersive VR simulations enhance learning efficiency, foster practical skill development, and better
prepare students for real-world scenarios. This study reviews empirical research on the integration of
AI and VR into cybersecurity education, providing practical recommendations for improving university
training programs and preparing future professionals to address emerging cyber threats

Implementation of IFRS 16 and Its Effect on Earnings Management
Get PDFThe adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases has introduced significant changes to financial reporting by requiring companies to recognize lease liabilities on their balance sheets. This shift has potential implications for earnings management practices, as companies may adjust financial reporting strategies in response to the new standard. This study explores the possible effects of IFRS 16 on earnings management, focusing on areas such as income smoothing, financial ratios, and managerial discretion. While IFRS 16 aims to enhance transparency and reduce off-balance-sheet financing, its actual impact on earnings management remains a subject of discussion. By analyzing financial data before and after IFRS 16 implementation, this research seeks to understand whether firms have altered their reporting behavior in response to the standard. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on financial reporting quality, regulatory effectiveness, and managerial incentives under IFRS 16
Comparison of the effects of two physiotherapy approaches in the treatment of cervico-thoracic syndrome
Get PDFCervico-thoracic syndrome is extremely common in modern life, which motivated us to investigate it - specifically in the cervico-thoracic region. This condition is characterized by impaired posture, often resulting in pain, which is the most frequent complaint among affected individuals.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine and compare the effects of selected physiotherapeutic interventions in the treatment of cervico-thoracic syndrome.
Materials and Methods: The study included 24 patients experiencing cervical pain accompanied by motor deficits and postural disturbances. Participants were divided into two groups: Group A (control) and Group B (experimental). Both groups underwent a physiotherapy program consisting of 10 sessions over 15 days. Group A (Control): Ultrasound therapy applied to the cervico-thoracic junction, medical massage of the cervico-thoracic region, post-isometric relaxation, and kinesitherapy. Group B (Experimental): Techniques for soft tissue mobilization in the form of manipulative massage, positional release techniques, and kinesitherapy. To assess treatment effectiveness, measurements were taken before and after therapy, including subjective pain assessment (VAS), Cervical mobility palpatory evaluation of muscle tone.
Results: Both therapeutic approaches demonstrated positive effects on patients’ conditions, with slightly better outcomes observed in the experimental group. Differences were noted across all measured parameters.
Conclusion: The application of soft tissue manipulation techniques combined with kinesitherapy has a beneficial effect on pain reduction, correction of muscle imbalance, and improvement of movement range and control. Restoration of normal function begins with pain control, which enables better and more accurate proprioception. These findings are consistent with previous research
Thresholds for authorship and originality in AI-generated and AI-assisted works: a comparative study of Chinese and EU copyright case law
Get PDFThe rise of AI-generated and AI-assisted works challenges the traditional legal understanding of authorship and originality. While China and the European Union have both addressed the issue, their approaches reveal fundamental differences in doctrine and policy. Each system defines and applies the concepts of authorship and originality in its own way, setting the thresholds that determine how AI-generated and AI-assisted works are treated. Through a comparative analysis of statutory provisions, case law, and doctrinal commentary, the paper highlights China’s tendency to attribute authorship to the human user where creative contribution is proven, contrasted with the EU’s stronger adherence to the natural-person authorship model. By comparing these models, the research identifies potential pathways for reform that could provide legal certainty while preserving the integrity of copyright principles
