Omicron variant has been massively reported on Indonesian mass media following the spread of other previous variants during Covid-19 pandemic. This research combines computer science and linguistics to analyze news variant. It implemented quantitative using computational algorithm by collecting titles from mainstream online media. Sentiment Analysis (SA) was applied obtain sentiments, opinion, ...

Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of resistance to sliding on expression of superelastic properties of NiTi wires. Methods and Materials. A three-point bending test was performed for 0.014 NiTi wire engaged in self-ligating (Damon, SmartClip, In-Ovation) and conventional brackets (Victory) ligated with regular and reduced friction modules (Slide). The wire was deflec...

Anatomy.-The tympanic membrane is the same size in the new-born as in the adult. It lies almost horizontal in the plane of the base of the skull, so that its lateral border is almost in the same plane as the superior wall of the meatus. Thus the postero-superior quadrant, the region in which bulging is usually detected, is very near the surface and next the inner limit of the superior wall of t...

OBJECTIVE To determine variation in post-instrumentation working length and root area in the following rotary systems: ProTaper, RaCe, Mtwo and K3. STUDY DESIGN A sample of 40 resin blocks with double curvature (at 14 and 16 mm) and a 33 degrees angle was used. Working length was verified with a digital measure using a number 10 K file. The specific sequence for each rotary system was followe...

The network of collagen fibers in the aortic valve leaflet is believed to play an important role in the strength and durability of the valve. However, in addition to its stress-bearing role, such a fiber network has the potential to produce functionally important shape changes in the closed valve under pressure load. We measured the average pattern of the collagen network in porcine aortic valv...

PURPOSE We present long-term surgical experience of 102 chordee without hypospadias cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 102 chordee without hypospadias cases who were surgically treated between 1999 and 2012. Range of patients' age was from 1 month to 31 years. Seventy-two patients were adult, and 30 were children. Mean duration of follow up was 49.3 months. The pat...

In recent years, the term agent has been incorporated to the vocabulary of mainstream Computer Science (CS), used to name from simple system process to highly skilled software/hardware resembles, denoting an entity created to perform either a specific task or set of tasks. Such a wide notion is straighten in Artificial Intelligence (AI), where researchers are interested in a notion that confers...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were: (i) to investigate the effect of functional magnetic stimulation on total colonic transit time in patients with Parkinson's disease; (ii) to compare the changes in dynamic recto-anal behaviour during filling and defaecation in response to this regimen; and (iii) to study the carry-over effects with a 3-month follow-up. DESIGN A longitudinal, prospective ...

Although a strong correlation between jaw mechanics and prey selection has been demonstrated in bony fishes (Osteichthyes), how jaw mechanics influence feeding performance in cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes) remains unknown. Hence, tooth shape has been regarded as a primary predictor of feeding behavior in sharks. Here we apply Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to examine form and function in ...

OBJECTIVES Although nasal polypi frequently arise from the middle meatus, they may occasionally originate from the olfactory cleft. Removal of these polypi may be difficult because of obscure location and concomitant occurrence of septal deviation. This work describes surgical management of olfactory cleft nasal polypi with a combined approach involving septoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery....
