Stereomicroscopic evaluation of sealing ability of four different root canal sealers: an in-vitro study
No full textAbstract Aim To compare and evaluate the sealing ability of four different commercially available sealers to provide seal against the dye penetration test using a stereomicroscope-an in-vitro study. Material/Method 80 extracted single rooted mandibular premolar with single canal were used in this study. The samples were divided in 4 groups (20 in each) based on sealer. Group I (Diaproseal), Group II (apexit Plus), Group III (MTA Fillapex) and Group IV (Bio-C). The samples were analyzed using a stereomicroscope and data analysis was done with one-way Anova And post hoc Tukey’s test. Result The mean dye penetration score was 1.2400 ± 0.778 mm for Group I. 2.6000 ± 0.897 mm for Group II, 4.2000 ± 0.923 mm for Group III and 4.225 ± 2.055 mm for Group IV. One-way Anova analysis shows that intergroup comparison was statistically significant between the four groups. The post hoc Tukey’s test reveals that the difference was statistically non-significant between group III and group IV. Conclusion It was concluded that between the four groups the Group I (Diaproseal) showed the least dye penetration followed by Group II (Apexit Pus), Group III (MTA Fillapex) and then Group IV (Bio-C), where there was no significant difference between the Group III (MTA Fillapex) and Group IV (Bio-C)
Looking for Private Information in Self-Assessed Health
No full textThe paper investigates whether self-assessed health status (SAH) contains information about future mortality and morbidity, beyond the information that is contained in standard "observable" characteristics of individuals (including pre-existing diagnosed medical conditions). Using a ten-year span of the Canadian National Population Health Survey, we find that SAH does contain private information for future mortality and morbidity. Moreover, we find some evidence that the extra information in SAH is greater at older ages. Many developed countries are experiencing a major shift from defined benefit (DB) to defined contribution (DC) pension arrangements. One consequence of this shift is an effective delay in the age at which workers commit to an annuity. Our results therefore suggest that adverse selection problems in annuity markets could be more severe at older ages, and therefore, that the DB to DC shift may expose workers to greater longevity risk. This is an aspect of the DB to DC shift that has received little attention.Self-Assessed Health, Annuities, Mortality, Morbidity

No full textAbstractSystematic analysis has been used more occasionally in the form of immanent text analysis, but this form has its limits in systematic theology and other sciences regarding qualitative research. In this article, the author introduces the use of hermeneutic theory in systematic analysis (SAH). This theory adds broader criteria for the use of systematic analysis in hermeneutical research. These additional criteria are needed because sources and valid techniques in hermeneutical research are more varied than in immanent studies. These forms or research has a different kind of source criteria. The gravity of this problem is multiplied even more if a hermeneutical research question has complexity that asks for the definite use of multiple sources that cannot be handled with the same criteria than in immanent studies.Abstract

The Driftless and Electron-Windless Electromigration Theory
No full textThe recently presented new theory of electromigration of metal atoms is summarized. The new theory attributes the migration to diffusion of electrical neutral atoms and generation-recombination-trapping of the electrically neutral atoms in the bulk of the metal line and on the interior surfaces of the voids in the metal line. It assumes no drift current or zero host ion current, and it asserts no electron-wind force which was assumed empirically in the 40-year-old 1969 Black model. The new theory gives the time-dependence and materials-dependences of the metal line resistance, not available previously, both of which can experimentally tested to delineate the fundamental mechanisms and pathways, and statistical void geometries. It also gives materials-dependent simple analytical formulas of time-to-failure and time-to-open-circuit for compact modeling interconnects in computer-aided design of integrated circuits.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000265971000105&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicPhysics, AppliedEICPCI-S(ISTP)
The Effect of Health Changes and Long-term Health on the Work Activity of Older Canadians
No full textUsing longitudinal data from the Canadian National Population Health Survey (NPHS), we study the relationship between health and employment among older Canadians. We focus on two issues: (1) the possible endogeneity of self- reported health, particularly "justification bias", and (2) the relative importance of health changes and long-term health in the decision to work. The NPHS contains the HUI3, an "objective" health index which has been gaining popularity in empirical work. We contrast estimates of the impact of health on employment using self-assessed health, the HUI3, and a "purged" health measure similar to that employed by Bound et al. (1999) and Disney et al. (2003). A direct test suggests that self-assessed health suffers from justification bias. However, the HUI3 provides estimates that are similar to the "purged" health measure. We also corroborate recent U.S. and U.K. findings that changes in health are important in the work decision.Health; Health Changes; Employment; Older Workers; NPHS

Aneurysms are the cause of subarachnoid haemorrhage in 85% of cases. The case fatality after aneurysmal haemorrhage is 50%; one in eight patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage dies outside hospital.
Objective: The aim of the study is to clarify the effectiveness of treatment compared year 2001 and 2011
THERMAL ANALYSIS OF EPOXY BASED BIO-COMPOSITES REINFORCED WITH
No full textJute is an important natural fibre occupying second place in economic importance only to cotton. More importantly it is a commodity on which many households in the country depend for their cash earnings. However, the contribution of jute fibres for technical applications is limited at present. In this research, the suitability of jute fiber when incorporated into epoxy matrix was studied in an investigative series of experiments with a view to widen the share of jute fibers for engineered applications. Composite specimens containing nonwoven jute mat and alkali treated short jute fibers with different weight percentages (1, 2 wt%) were prepared and subjected to thermal analysis in order to study the effect of fiber geometry on thermal behavior of composites

Kata kunci: Analisis Semiotika, Film Komedi, Media Dakwah. ABSTRACT
Film is one of the electronic media classified as mass
communication, so film has the ability to convey messages to the
audience. Films are divided into several genres, one of which is the
comedy genre. Comedy films have a relaxed and light plot, it is
deliberately designed to entertain and invite laughter from the
audience. Comedy films finally have great potential for the world of
da'wah, because the characteristics of the film are entertaining, light,
and far from patronizing.
The type of research used is qualitative. The method used is
text analysis by looking at symbols through a semiotic approach.
This study was made to explore the extent of the
implementation of da'wah in comedy films as a medium of da'wah
through signs referred to by Roland Barthes as connotations,
denotations, and myths.
The observed data was sourced from the film "Insha Allah
Sah 2" obtained from the WeTV application. The object of the study is
the storyline of the film "Insha Allah Sah 2", while the subject is the
cut of the scene which contains Islamic values in it, the author sees in
several scenes in the film "Insha Allah Sah 2" mostly emphasizes on
teachings that are in accordance with Islamic law.
The researcher concluded that the implementation carried out
in the comedy film "Insha Allah Sah 2" as a da'wah medium, can
produce a presentation, namely three categories of types of da'wah
material which include; 1. Problems of Faith (Aqidah), 2. Islamic
Issues (Sharia), and 3. The Problem of Ethics (Akhlakul Karimah).
This comedy film "Insha Allah Sah 2" has its own charm that can be
used as a relevant da'wah media in this modern era. This film meets
the standards of good cinema. The film is entertaining, educational,
and contains useful information. This film should be an example for
anyone who wants to make a good film without cornering any party
and without forgetting the function of the film as entertainment.

Effects of energy distribution of interface traps on recombination dc current-voltage line shape
No full textThe effects of energy distributions of Si/SiO2 interface traps in the energy gap of oxidized silicon on the current versus voltage line shape of the electron-hole recombination current are analyzed using the steady-state Shockley-Read-Hall kinetics. Slater's [Insulators, Semiconductors and Metals; Quantum Theory of Molecules and Solids (McGraw-Hill, New York, 1967)] localized bulk perturbation theory applied by us to the interface anticipates U-shaped energy distributions of the density of neutral electron and hole interface traps from random variations of the Si:Si and Si:O bond angles and lengths. Conservation in dissipative transition energy anticipates the rate of electron capture into neutral electron trap to be faster for electron trap energy levels nearer the conduction band edge, and similarly, the rate of hole capture into neutral hole trap to be faster for hole trap energy levels nearer the valence band edge. Line shape broadening is analyzed for discrete and U-shaped energy distributions of interface trap energy levels. The broadened line shapes observed in past experiments, previously attributed to spatial variations of surface dopant impurity concentrations, could also arise from energy distributions of interface trap energy levels.
