7 uses of technology in 21st century jobs
azamwaseem June 1, 2022 2 min read
Technology has boomed beyond belief within the past years and has taken over various industries and workplaces. It is a must learn skill now with a wide variety of subcategories.
Technology has evolved and shaped our workplaces in many ways, through the adoption of tools like the internet and email for communications, word processing, spreadsheets and presentations for office productivity, electronic databases for record keeping, and robots and artificial intelligence for automation.
Technology is indispensable in our work-lives, and it pervades every aspect of businesses and the public space.
Here are 10 ways in which technology has become an integral part of everyday work:
1. Communications technologies
Long distance communication is one area where technology has made a profound impact on workplaces. Businesses used to employ fax machines, surface mail and the telephone in the past.
Today, email, SMS, and various chat software tools have become the principal modes of business communication. Also, the use of video conferencing is on the rise, thus reducing the need for physical travel.
2. Office productivity
Word processing, spreadsheets, digital presentations and other office productivity software have become so commonplace that their use has become routine, and this has completely transformed office work.
Office software is now becoming integrated with other productivity and decision making tools like PowerBI and this new wave will revolutionise the workplace again.
3. Record keeping and retrieval
Another area where advanced technology is already ubiquitous is record keeping.
Most businesses have switched to electronic databases, rather than paper files, to store and access their records, and this has become an essential and everyday part of our work environment.
4. Internet and search
One other major tool that has become so commonplace so as to become nearly unremarkable, is the internet and its organization through search portals such as Google and Bing.
Information retrieval and research using internet tools has become an indispensable tool for all work.
5. Decentralised work and cloud computing
The proliferation of laptops, tablets, and smartphones has made it easier for professionals to work from anywhere and has led to flexible-work environments like freelancing, work-on-demand, and work-from-home.
Recently, this trend has accelerated because of the adoption of cloud computing which allows workers to store and use data and applications on a server.
6. Analytics and new decision structures
Big Data analytics has become an important tool for all business functions. For instance, marketing through digital channels requires professionals to routinely use advanced tools for analytics and computational advertising.
Human resource departments are using specialized tools for recruiting, performance tracking, and worker retention. Such data-driven decision systems are allowing front-line workers to act quickly, without always waiting for direction from the traditional top-down management structure.
7. Automation, robotics and future factories
Many workers, especially in the manufacturing sector, already work alongside autonomous robots. This is increasingly true in many other settings such as warehouse logistics, office sanitation, and building security.

De New River Gorge Bridge is een stalen boogbrug nabij Fayetteville in de Amerikaanse staat West Virginia, die met een lengte van 924 meter en een spanwijdte van 518 meter de op drie na langste boogbrug ter wereld vormt, na de Chaotianmenbrug, de Lupubrug en de Bosidengbrug (alle in China).

De boog strekt zich uit over een lengte van 518 meter over de New River en de CSX-spoorweg. De brug bevindt zich op een hoogte van 267 meter, waarmee ze na de Royal Gorge Bridge en het Viaduct van Millau de op twee na hoogste ter wereld is. De New River Gorge Bridge vormt onderdeel van de U.S. Route 19 en wordt dagelijks door ongeveer 17.000 motorvoertuigen gepasseerd.

De brug is ontworpen door het bedrijf Michael Baker Company, onder leiding van hoofdingenieur Clarence V. Knudsen. De bouw door de American Bridge-afdeling van het bedrijf U.S. Steel begon in juni 1974 en op 22 oktober 1977 werd de brug voltooid. De brug kostte uiteindelijk 37 miljoen dollar, waarmee het oorspronkelijke budget met 4 miljoen werd overschreden. De New River Gorge Bridge is gebouwd van cortenstaal, hetgeen bij de bouw verschillende uitdagingen opleverde. Onder andere moest men ervan verzekerd zijn dat de laspunten met dezelfde snelheid zouden verweren als de rest van het staal.

Dunn DIY 2017 Year in Review
"2017 was a pretty big year. Dunn DIY had its three-year anniversary, and the Dunn DIY studio was born!"
Every year, we recap our favorite projects from the past 52 weeks. It's crazy to me how much happens over the span of a year, and it's hard to believe how much we've done (and how much I've learned).
2017 was a pretty big year. Dunn DIY had its three-year anniversary, and the Dunn DIY studio was born! Having a studio was a huge improvement from working in parking lots and wherever we were allowed to film. It's made the brand feel much more cohesive—even our Christmas decorations this year were coordinated in the Dunn DIY color palette! The blog came to life in that space. Yep, 2017 was definitely one to remember.
So, let's take it away! Here's a look back at my top seven projects of 2017.
How to Make an Interactive Cloud Lamp
Why it's a favorite: The interactive cloud lamp project was the first post we filmed in our brand-new studio and not—as previously mentioned—in a parking lot or someone's office or apartment. It's really hard to film outside during our Seattle winter—when it rains all the time. The studio proved to be a game-changer in that regard.
This particular project was a long time coming—I spent forever dreaming about the finished product. I ran into a snag the first go around, and wound up putting it down for a few months before I finally had a breakthrough moment and figured out the rest of the design. The whole process—snag and all—was totally worth it because in the end, it was one of my favorite projects of the year.
Where it's at now: In my new apartment hanging in my office! It makes me happy every time I turn it on. It also makes for great ambient lighting at night because you can change the colors.
What I'd do differently: I left the lamp in my workshop for three months, and when I took it out, I had to pull all the stuffing off and re-apply because it was covered in sawdust and wood shavings. I'd store it more carefully next time. I'd also use a different stuffing—when I recoated it, I bought the cheapest stuffing I could get (as opposed to finding the type that holds together really well). This one is really wispy instead of fluffy and cloud-like, and falls apart easily. So go with the small bags of stuffing versus the ten pound box.
How to Make a Bench
Why it's a favorite: This bench project stands out in my mind, because it felt like the first real piece of furniture I'd built. There's something that feels inherently intimidating about building furniture, because you want the things you put in your home to look polished and professional. If you're not intentionally going for that "rustic charm" feel, furniture can feel a little daunting.
Once I dove into it, this DIY bench went really smoothly. It was fun adding cutouts to the bottom that made it feel more like furniture and less like a DIY project. Using the Kreg jig hid all the screws and gave it a really nice, finished look.
Where it's at now: In the entryway at my sister's house! (On loan—I plan to take it back when I have more room. Sorry, Megan.)
What I'd do differently: Not a thing.
How to Build a Picnic Table
Why it's a favorite: The picnic table was a big milestone in my DIY career. It was one of my first attempted (and failed) projects three years ago, so the original never made it onto the blog. (You can read about it in Confessions of a DIYer Part II.) Revisiting the project and overcoming that challenge proved to be very satisfying.
Where it's at now: We built two picnic tables, and both were donated to Eastside Academy. We were back later in the summer to build a fire pit, and it was so rewarding to see the students enjoying the tables.
What I'd do differently: I would have made three and kept one! I used Sikkens SRD on one, and in hindsight would have used this finish on both of them—because it's such an easy product. You don't have to wipe it down, so it's really simple to put on and re-apply.
Series: Outdoor Movie Night
Why it's a favorite: The outdoor movie night series was all about creating an experience and a fun setting for a summer event. Though there was definitely some trial and error along the way, it was a total success. We made outdoor movie seats and a movie screen, as well as a drop cloth picnic blanket and kettle corn. The thing I remember most vividly from this process was that I had an accident with a superglue bottle and covered my hands in glue. Getting it off was a long process of soaking my hand in hot water, rubbing butter, nail polish remover, and olive oil. I got all the glue off eventually, but it was quite the production.
Where it's at now: Over the summer, the backyard seats made the rounds to outdoor movie nights in parks and various other outdoor events. They got a lot of really positive responses from the general public. Currently, they're packed away waiting for next summer!
What I'd do differently: Besides not supergluing my hands? I used velcro ties that weren't quite long enough to wrap around the PVC pipe for the movie screen, and I should have just bought a roll of velcro and cut my own ties that were the right length. It would have saved me some heartache (and frustration).
How to Make Pin Curls Like Rosie the Riveter
Why it's a favorite: Rosie's pin curl project was a really fun process, because it's obviously very "me." Over the years, I've had a lot of people ask about my hair. This was a fun excuse to do something different on the blog and to respond to all those questions. This was also a fun post because my whole team realized that my hair is not naturally curly. Plus, it was Halloween-themed and I had a ton of fun posing like Rosie the Riveter.
Where it's at now: On my head! It's the same curls! Kidding. The style lasts—but not quite that long—so I generally wash and re-curl my hair every three to four days.
What I'd do differently: I've got nothing. I've been doing my hair like this for five years, and I don't plan on changing it anytime soon.
How to Make an Arch for Your Wedding
Why it's a favorite: I wanted an arch for my wedding but I didn't love the one that was being offered, so I thought to myself, I can make one better than this. And I did! There's nothing better than being able to combine your work with your personal interests.
Where it's at now: It's at my siblings' house (yes, they share a house) in their backyard. They just moved in, so I'm sure they'll be planting something around it in the spring.
What I'd do differently: If I'd known it was going to be a permanent fixture in someone's backyard, I would have made it out of cedar so the arch would hold up longer. On the other hand, I didn't want to invest a lot of money in something only meant to last one day—so I'm glad I didn't.

Why it's a favorite: This nativity set was one of those projects I was very apprehensive about. I didn't feel confident in my skills, so when I pulled it off, it was a huge confidence booster. It turns out that something I was feeling nervous about ended up being something I really love and will keep for years to come.
Where it's now: Packed away with all my Christmas decorations, waiting for the first minute of 2018 that it's acceptable to pull them all out.
What I'd do differently: Make more sheep. One of these years I plan to have a whole flock.
I'm so proud of everything we've accomplished—not just in 2017—but over the past three years of Dunn DIY. Things keep growing and getting better and better, and I can't wait to see where we're at by the end of 2018. Happy New Year!

Review game Yooka-Laylee: entertainment for everyone
video-games/
In our difficult time, with the dominance through realistic and dark games, survival simulators, and annual one-time rides about the military action in the future sometimes I want to plunge into the arms of a beautiful tale. Without cabbage realism and other attributes of modern development. Therefore, if your gaming soul craves something good and bright, today's story is for you. Pour yourself a ginger tea, sit back comfortably, we will begin. So, in a faraway Kingdom.
There was a Rare company that in the 90s gave us so many wonderful projects, like the cult series Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, game Snake Rattle 'n' Roll, a three-dimensional platformer Banjo-Kazooie and GoldenEye 007, even for a long time became the "gold standard" of first-person shooters. Unexpectedly bumped into an independent English Studio monster overseas. Microsoft'ische, and bought Rare, along with all its intellectual property. Soon the fairy tale, and even more affected by the pernicious influence of Microsoft, which forced the artists to draw avatars for Xbox Live and make extremely controversial game Viva Piñata.
But Rare did not give up and continued to work hard, when suddenly a dark cloud more than ever! Wanted a foreign publisher to produce a remake of the Killer Inctinct, but not simple, and shareware. Also to re-release old games in Xbox Live Arcade was conceived instead on a sequel or new series to work. Opposed key employees of Rare and then left from under the wing of Microsoft on Kickstarter, so that the bottom of the barrel to scrape, barns place, but to gather up funds for my new game called Yooka-Laylee.
Okay, put aside the allegorical manner. In General, we have three-dimensional platformer, the answer is not the last people in the gaming industry. Yooka-Laylee is a successor of traditions founded in the already mentioned above the game Banjo-Kazooie. Even the names of these two projects constructed in a similar way. We have to play for the inseparable Duo of heroes: lizard-chameleon Yooka and bat Laylee. Laylee always sits on top of his friend and the game progresses as Yooka, gains new abilities, allowing you to reach previously inaccessible locations.
By the way, about the locations: the game has 5 different from each other's worlds. From snow-covered ice peaks to barren deserts and Islands, floating in the air. In addition, there is in the game's main "hub" from where we find ourselves in other worlds. At any moment we are free to return to the Central world and to revisit already explored places that are revealed gradually in the course of the story. The story here, as befits a fairy tale, plain and simple, but very cute. Local evil genius Capital B, along with his assistant Dr. Quack decided to grab all the books in the world to find THE LEDGER. Naturally, stole the book and the duet of our heroes, that is the starting point of history.
On the books here tied everything apart from the 5 realms represent the books that our friends are moving, and collectible items to collect — this page is the books and writing pens. The first is needed in order to unlock new worlds or expanding the old one. The second is required to purchase new abilities from the local snake merchant. No need to worry. Forced to engage in gathering you will not make one. All the necessary extracted through the story, but fans of the "collect them all" will be satisfied: in addition to the aforementioned items, in each world, hidden bonuses, giving the increase in health and stamina (which is needed to perform certain actions), as well as unique items like «the molecules of the world» (looking, however, as usual increased molecule) or Ghost-writers, each of which is required to catch a specific way, which, of course, you are entitled to the award.
As for the worlds, then, besides the external differences, they are all built in a similar way: it's a pretty spacious location with lots of detours and hidden places. In a world you no longer have to jump, to run, swim and even fly. In General, with a variety of platform gameplay, the game is no problem. Each world is inhabited by various characters, are willing to give you jobs, and this is probably the best in the game. There is a mad scientist, fascinated by modification of bodies, which for a small fee in the form of "molecules of the world" at a time modifies the main characters, which opens their new abilities. For example, in the first world, you can become a flower, thereby unlocking additional chain of quests, and in the world of snow is a genius will make you a plow truck. There is also the skeleton is a researcher in the hat of Indiana Jones, always getting into scrapes, and trolley Kartos on pensions (a clear reference to old Kratos from the upcoming new part of God of War). But my personal favorite — low-poly dinosaur Rextro, concurrently is the owner of the arcade straight out of the 90s. Besides the fact that it is associated with a series of great jobs on his machines you can play the arcade version of "mikromashinok," variations on the theme of Space Invaders and some other games. They are available as during the storyline of the adventure, and from the main menu.
All unexpectedly well in the game and with humor. For example, during jump training Layee says, "in General, I don't know why I'm explaining this to you — the same is written on page 1 of the manual". A met Rextro, they will hold such a dialogue, perfectly mocking the fashion nostalgia for old games:
the — Why are you single?
— I'm waiting for friends. They promised they will come soon and we will start to play old games.
— When promised?
— In 1997.
Not far behind and bosses. For example, one of the first calls himself "Rambo: ancient great stone man" and is a stone gate. Rampo dislikes of installers of plastic Windows, their plastic "spoil the whole look."
As for gameplay, it is very standard for games of this genre. Just run through the levels, collect the pages with feathers, look for the secrets of da fight against enemies. And if in the game the artificial intelligence is behaving according to the script laid down that the rank and file enemies to fully justify the word "artificial", but have nothing to do with intelligence. Local monsters annoy rather than delight during battles. They can only with wild Orom to run/fly/sail to you and do not have, so to speak, the "recipe". Almost all of them can be defeated by pressing the same button, which is a shame, because the characters have so many abilities that are not used for the fights. In battles with the bosses in this respect, criticism is almost there. Each battle is unique and requires not only to demonstrate playing skills, but also stretch the gray matter to understand how the boss to defeat.
After this witty monologue would be a battle with the boss in quiz format, when he will test you on your care and ask about gaming moments that you have experienced. Great find!
I Think that, looking at the screenshots, you have been able to assess the local picture. Yes, the graphics of the stars from the sky is not enough, but the game looks neat and very beautiful due to proper art design, which resembles a good cartoon. Believe me, the game looks much better dynamics than in statics. Picture juicy and bright, but not demanding on hardware, so even owners of quite weak by today's standards a PC (judging by the reviews tested the game) will be able to enjoy the project. I personally went for the PS4 version, and any problems with her in graphic terms were not observed.
And now a couple of spoons of tar. A huge disappointment is a gaming camera that behaves very unfriendly. Sometimes she turns around incredibly slowly, and sometimes Vice versa, very quickly. Often the situation when if you ran or flew to the right, when you change the angle that your right may be left, and you will begin to move in the opposite direction. That is to say, children's error, which can be forgiving to newbies, but not from Rare masters.
A Mixed left sound. The sounds of the environment, the game world and the music is just great, setting the right mood and convey the spirit of where we are. But the voice acting... would be Better if it was not at all. Listen to her — refined torture for the ears. It's hard to explain, but I'll try. Each character speaks with a 1-2 set of sounds, accompanied by subtitles translated from "sloppy" to "human". Each character has these unique sounds. Let's say it sounds "quack-kVA". And these "quack-croak" characters recite 5-6 sentences. Try to read a couple of paragraphs in that style. The first suggestions can, and will hear funny, but than further — the more it will start to annoy you. The worst thing is that 50% of the dialogues squander impossible. I really hope that the man (man?) who invented this system, all those around him once throughout the whole day to chat on this stupid language.
Varied gameplay with lots of possibilities.
Dissimilar to other worlds.
Great atmosphere and adventure.
fun for the whole family.
Wonderful sense of humor.
Interesting boss battles.
accurately spelled out the characters.
Ridiculous AI ordinary enemies.
Strange camera.
Worst voice acting in my memory.

Today the world celebrates the Earth Day again. Shouldn't we celebrate it daily? We do not have any other home to live.
Our planet inspires us to live, create, search and research. Regardless any issues and troubles we can experience in life, there is always one source for us to get recharged – nature. A month ago we started our campaign #ICareFor – we've been asking female artists around the globe about their major concerns, desires, dreams – the things they care for the most. It's no surprise that many responses are about our planet, environment, preservation of natural resources.
Artists are very sensitive people who can envision the future. That's why their social activism is so important – through the artworks, artists can talk without words. However, in case with #ICareFor we asked them to speak up. We are featuring several artists today – from Australia, UK, Sudan, Italy. Read their words of concern and wisdom.

Sports chain's takeover of rival faces full-scale monopoly probe
JD Sports boss hits out as CMA refers Footasylum deal for phase two investigation
insider.co.uk
JD Sports' takeover of Footasylum is one of the most recent cases to attract scrutiny from the CMA
JD Sports' £90 million deal to buy high street rival Footasylum is to face a full-scale probe by the competition watchdog after refusing to offer any solutions to ease concerns.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it was to refer the planned acquisition for a so-called phase two investigation, amid worries it could lead to higher prices and worse choice.

JD Sports declined to offer any solutions to address the CMA's concerns by the September 26 deadline, saying it "firmly believes that there is clear evidence that the acquisition would not result in a substantial lessening of competition".
Peter Cowgill, executive chairman of JD Sports Fashion, said: "The CMA has referred their review of this acquisition to phase two on the basis that it could be bad for competition and may have an impact on price. I strongly disagree with this. This transaction will not result in any price increases or a reduction in product ranges or service quality.
Mike Ashley sticks the boot into JD Sports' takeover of Footasylum
"The focus of all of our group businesses is to ensure we deliver a best in class, multi-channel experience to our consumers by offering a compelling product proposition."
The proposed takeover has been criticised by Mike Ashley, who claims the combined power of the two rivals would make it more difficult for his Sports Direct empire to secure cut-price bulk deals with big brands such as Nike.


The City of Charlottesville is actually quite small with a 2015 census count of just 46,597. The geographic boundaries of the City are indistinct so without a map in hand you probably won't be sure whether you are in the City or Albemarle County as you tour the neighborhoods. When we think of real estate in the city of Charlottesville it's the old neighborhoods that come to mind like Belmont, Fifeville, Woolen Mills and Fryes Springs, each with a unique character steeped in Charlottesville history. The North Downtown area and the University area offer some fine old homes and those within walking distance to the historic downtown mall are highly prized. While space is scarce for new construction in the city there are some nice new projects built on in-fill parcels and some dramatic town-homes and condominium projects with enough elevation from roof top terraces to enjoy spectacular mountain views within the city limits.


A few years ago, my prayer life got stuck. Really stuck! Though I'd often struggled to make prayer a regular part of my day, this was different. This time I found myself unable to even find words to express myself to God, and He felt so distant I wondered, "what's the use of trying?" I'd heard the "usual" advice, such as find a prayer partner, create a prayer schedule, journal, etc., but none of it seemed to work. Finally, three surprising things jumpstarted my prayer life, and made all the difference.
If you find yourself struggling with prayer, here are three ways you may not have considered that can breathe new life into your spiritual walk.
Incorporate written prayers. A friend suggested that I pick up The Book of Common Prayer, something I was completely unfamiliar with but that is used by many denominations. I'd always been suspicious of "rote" prayers, but in my desperation I decided to simply pray the words that were written out for me. Filled with solid theology and well-crafted language, I found myself moved by their simplicity and beauty. Without the pressure of trying to "make something happen" with my own prayers, I could relax into the gently moving stream of Christians who were praying these same prayers right along with me. Try online versions and apps like My Daily Office for easy access to these written prayers.
Take a prayer walk. It is said that God has two books: The Bible, and Creation. All of creation speaks of the wonderous nature of the One who created it, so it stands to reason that spending time outside would draw me closer to God. Taking time to notice the leaves and grass and trees, to breathe fresh air and feel the warmth of the sun…every moment of intentional experience brought my mind and heart toward the Lord and inspired gratitude. Try associating places along a regular walking route with specific parts of your prayer time, such as giving thanks when you pass the tree, or petition as you come to your driveway.
These three spiritual activities just might surprise you with their impact. Though simple, they have proven to be timeless disciplines that will jumpstart your prayer life.

Background and Purpose: Aim is to evaluate the antibacterial activity and physical properties of Biodentine containing chlorhexidine (CHX)/cetrimide (CT) mixtures at 24 h. Materials and Methods: Powder formulations of CHX (2.5%) and CT (2.5%) were added to the powder of Biodentine and served as experimental groups (EXP). Antibacterial free groups were designed as control (CNT). The antibacterial acitivity (AB) (n = 5; for each) of disc-shaped specimens against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillius casei and compressive strength (CS) (n = 10; for each) tests used both for groups after 24 h after polymerization. Statistical Analysis Used: Normality of data were tested with the Shapiro–Wilk test. Significant differences were analyzed with the Mann–Whintey U test for both the methods (agar disk diffusion and compressive strength) at a significance level of P < 0.05. Results: Significantly higher antibacterial effects were obtained in EXP groups compared to the CNTs for both bacteria after 24 h, distinctly (P < 0.01). No differences were found between groups regarding the CS values (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Since the incorporation of 5% CHX/CT to the Biodentine exhibited acceptable antibacterial activity without hampering compressive strength values at 24 h, this combination could be a promising alternative for eliminating the residual bacteria for indirect pulp-capping therapies.
The calcium silicate based cements are being considered as the succesful materials that stimulate the dentin repair potential as well as providing pulpal healing under optimal conditions.,, As similar with the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), one of the popular biocompatible calcium silicate based agent known as Biodentine have been used for the vital dentin-pulp regeneration therapies such as indirect pulp-capping treatments (IPT).,,,,, The powder of material contains tri- and di-calcium silicates, calcium carbonate, zirconium dioxide, and also the liquid comprises calcium chloride aqueous solution that provides mechanically stronger and less soluble structure with the less setting time features.,,,, The another advantage of this therapeutic agent is that the material can be implemented into the cavity as a bulk material without any surface preparation treatment on the cavity walls which clearly produces reperative dentin formation with the alkaline caustic effect that leads to elevated mineral precipitation.,,,,,,,,, From that point of view, the provisional usage of material in IPT for deep caries lesions seems to have beneficial effects under clinical conditions., Specifically, in pediatric dentistry, IPT includes the removal of softened and demineralized infected dentine near the pulp tissue to reduce the risk of pulp exposure in symptom-free deep carious lesions of primary teeth. This method with the term of "minimally invasive management" strategies could be applied particularly for un-cooperative children.,,, However, residual caries problem should not be overlooked in that type of treatments.,, Additionally, Biodentine can be used as a cavity-lining material particulary under the composite materials as for the IPT purposes.,, However, bacterial microleakage problem was also found as for the Biodentine at the dentine to material interface. It has been indicated as the porosity of unhydrated cement particles of tricalcium silicate based cements might cause microspaces filling with the water when the cements are being hydrated. However, if the water/cement ratio is excessively increased during the mixing, the porosity could be increased which improperly caused a microleakage. Such studies revealed the changeable but better antimicrobial effects of Biodentine against cariogenic microorganisms compared to the MTA and other cements, whereas others did not report any significant antimicrobial action.,,,, Thus, to enhance the antibacterial activity in calcium silicate based cements, the idea of adding antibacterials such as chlorhexidine (CHX) to the original cement, has been introduced as a beneficial method in terms of reducing the bacterial count under the restorations.,, Moreover, the usage of CHX and/or cetrimide (CT) with dental materials seemed to have strong antibacterial actions against the specific bacteria in the previous findings.,,, According to our knowledge, there is no current findings related with the CHX + CT combination when added to the Biodentine powder.
Physicomechanical negative effects would be obtained after adding antibacterials.
Details of the materials are listed in [Table 1]. The set disc-shaped specimens in control group did not have any antibacterials, whereas experimental group was prepared by adding 2.5% CHX + 2.5% CT (powder + powder) to the powder of Biodentine (w/w) manually.
About 10 mm in diameter; 2 mm depth were mixed according to the manufacturer's recommendations for both the groups (n = 5; for each group). The antibacterial effects against MS and LB of set specimens were assessed with agar-diffusion tests. The strains stored at −20°C were cultured on blood agar (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and Lactobacilli MRS Agar plates (for Lactobacillius casei, DifcoLab., MI, USA) at 37°C for 24 h in 5% CO2. Single colonies from plates were transferred into the Brain-Heart Infusion (BHI) broth (Merck) and Lactobacilli MRS broth (for L. casei, DifcoLab.) and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Suspensions of the strains were prepared in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at c. 1.5 × 108 organisms/mL by using the McFarland 0.5 turbidity tubes and then were flood-inoculated onto the surface of BHI agar plates. Before placement of the set specimens, the surface of the plates was air dried by leaving them at 37°C for 15 min. Five specimens were used for all groups. The paste was then put into a mold, covered with a glass slide, and allowed to set at room temperature. All the specimens were then sterilized with UV before experiment. The set disc-shaped specimens were placed onto BHI agar plates. Inhibition zones around the specimens were calculated at three different points of the zones for each specimen and averaged at 24 h period by blinded independent observer.
Experimental and control group samples were prepared with laser cut plexiglass cylindrical molds of 6 mm diameter and 4 mm thickness. The material compacted in plexiglass molds with amalgam plugger to be sure that the surface is leveled. All discs examined according to any cracks on the surface and seven discs in each group selected for compressive strength testing. All discs immersed in the Eppendorf tubes containing PBS and incubated at 37°C with 100% humidity for 7 days. Afterwards the discs have been tested in universal compressive strength machine (Instron Model 1011, UK) with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/s. The force required to break the samples (N/mm 2) was evaluated.
Statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS Statistics version 17.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Normality of data were tested with the Shapiro–Wilk test. Significant differences were analyzed with the Mann–Whintey U test for both the methods (agar disk diffusion and compressive strength) at a significance level of P < 0.05.
Significantly higher antibacterial effects were obtained in experimental compared to the control group for both Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillius casei at 24 h period (P < 0.01) [Table 2]. Experimental groups showed increased antibacterial action for LB compared to the MS. Higher, but insignificant differences were obtained in the experimental group compared to the control according to the compressive strength values (P > 0.05) [Table 3].
This study accepted the first hypothesis that Biodentine + CHX + CT mixtures showed significantly higher antibacterial effects, whereas rejected the second one which indicates the proper compressive strength test values.
Even providing the viability of tested microorganisms is limited, the agar disk diffusion test method that was used in this study allowed to obtain the direct effects of Biodentine on cariogenic bacteria with some certain advantages such as less expensive, rapid, and realistic properties.,,,,, Since the tested microorganisms (S. mutans and L. casei) and their toxins have been considered as the predominant types in infected/demineralized dentin tissue in IPT, these microorganisms were used for an in-vitro model.,,,,,, Previous reports, indicated increased antibacterial effects of CHX and/or CT when used with glass ionomers or tri- di-calcium silicate cements.,,, Nikhil et al. reported such significantly higher antibacterial effects on S. mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, and Candida albicans of Biodentine +2% CHX samples compared to the antibacterial free ones. They also exhibited the limited antimicrobial action of antibacterial free Biodentine samples which could be clearly related with the high pH alkaline properties. Also, in a recent study, the antimicrobial effect of light curable pulp-capping materials, Therecal and Biodentine have been investigated against S. mutans, Staphylococcus gordonii, and Staphylococcus sorbinus and found to have similar antimicrobial activity. Similar studies have been conducted with new bioceramic pulp-capping materials such as MTA and Dycal and showed that MTA has a better antimicrobial activity than Dycal. However, contraversial findings of antibacterial free Biodentine studies also showed presence or absence of inhibiton zones against various microrganisms according to the agar disk diffusion test method., The variations of the antimicrobial actions could be explained by the diffusion capacity, contact properties, molecular weight, size, type, and concentration of Biodentine or such properties of agar medium as stated previously. In a very recent study, Jardine et al. investigated the antimicrobial effect of bioceramic cements on biofilm and stated that all tested materials including Biodentin is not effective on multispecies microcosm biofilm. Previous findings also indicated such acceptable antibacterial action of CHX + CT mixtures with dental materials with the same concentration as a total of 5% (2.5% +2.5%) or in various concentrations.,, In the present results, even control group (antibacterial free) has also shown such antibacterial effects on the tested microorganisms, the Biodentine + CHX + CT combination showed significantly higher and better antibacterial effects on both bacteria (MS and LB). Also, the antibacterial added group showed much better inhibitor effects on LB compared to the MS. Thus, the idea of combining the suitable antibacterials versus single usage at different ratios would elevate the antibacterial action by killing different cell types of various bacteria. From that point of view, it could be beneficial to use the combination of tested antibacterial agents versus individual usage of them with Biodentine. Because of the above reasons, these results might indicate an acceptable range of activity against the carious associated bacteria for IPT therapies with the specific inherent potency and sensitivity of tested mixture. In another study, the antimicrobial action of Biodentine +2% CHX gluconate or 10% doxycycline was evaluated for 24, 48, and 72 h and showed a decreasing pattern. This result also consistent with the previous reports for dental material–antibacterial combinations. Commonly, the antibacterial effects could decrease from the beginning to the later time periods in that type of studies.,, Thus, the need for prolonged antibacterial effects should not be overlooked in terms of inhibiting bacteria under the restorative materials specifically when the carious tissue is not eliminated completely., Since, we have only calculated the short-term inhibitor effect, it might be considered as a limitation factor of this study. However, the present results obtained in Biodentine + CHX + CT groups revealed much more higher inhibiton zones compared to the previous findings for the MS. Thus, the present promising results would also be analyzed regarding the antibacterial activity on different microrganisms for longer time periods in future study designs. Additionally, cytotoxic effects of antibacterials should not be overlooked on human cells as stated previously. Even antibacterial actions were found optimal in this study, the potential cytotoxic pattern of Biodentine + CHX + CT combination should also be tested with biologic tissues for the long-term periods. Thus, this handicap could be considered as another limitation factor of the present study.
Since measuring compressive strength values of the setting process of tricalcium cements is to have much more importance for providing valuable information about clinical durability in vital pulp therapies, we used this method to test the in-vitro mechanical strength of Biodentine., Although, the dental material + antibacterial combination have such benefits over certain microorganisms, the addition of antimicrobial particles might have negative roles on the basic physicomechanical properties of cement nature.,, Holt et al. revealed that the addition of CHX to the MTA would show lower compressive strength values compared to the MTA mixed with sterile water even those were not significantly different. They also reported if the cement failed to set, the antibacterial added material might have brittle properties which indicates the antibacterial efficiacy of combination would be considered as negligible. In this study, the antibacterial free group showed lower but insignificant values compared to the antibacteral added group and we did not obtain any deformation while removing the samples from the mold. With the advent of these unexpected outcomes for this kind of study, the setting reaction of Biodentine would probably have not been affected by the foreign antibacterial particles. The acceptable dimensionally stable setting and compressive strength properties of antibacterial added specimens obtained in the present study could be attributed to the lower water/cement ratio, various particle size distribution, or high retention of the strong chemical affinity of CHX + CT to the original Biodentine. Thus, these mentioned indicators can be considered as promising factors for setting reaction process., Nevertheless, mechanical strength measurements may not always detect the exact setting reaction occurring in the dental material and cannot always explain the real clinical longevity because of certain factors such as saliva, pH changes, food, liquids, and masticatory functions in the oral environment. Thus, to gain the exact results, future studies should be focused on the compressive strength and other mechanical tests that could be further evaluated within different time periods including various storage mediums of in-vitro conditions.
In view of the results and limitations of the present study, the addition of CHX + CT combination at a total of 5% concentration to the powder of Biodentine may constitute a short-term antibacterial effect against the MS and LB bacteria without seriously deteriorating compressive strength values of the cement. This combination could have a chance to provide beneficial antibacterial effects in IPT therapies. However, longer-lasting antibacterial and physicochemical alterations should be warranted by future in-vitro, in-situ, and/or in-vivo studies.

Слобо́дка — деревня, входящая в Незнановское сельское поселение Кораблинского района Рязанской области.

Название

Деревня названа по своему предшествующему поселенческому статусу – слобода. Слово «слобода» могло означать либо нахождение этого селения несколько в стороне, в отрыве от соседнего села Незнаново, либо перевозчики пользовались какими-то льготами в уплате налогов и несении повинностей по сравнению с основной массой жителей села.

Географическое положение
Деревня находится в северной части Кораблинского района, в 10 км к северу от райцентра.

Южнее протекает река Проня.

Ближайшие населённые пункты:
— деревня Лужки в 1,5 к северу по асфальтированной дороге;
— село Незнаново примыкает с южной стороны.

История
В «Списках населенных мест» за 1859 год такое селение на реке Проне не указано. В то же время к селу Незнаново (Ряжский уезд) в списке отнесена информация о том, что часть этого села «из 2 дворов и 10 жит. м. п. и 17 жит. ж. п. находится, по смежности, во 2 стане Пронского уезда».

По предположениям рязанского краеведа А.Д. Сорокина, эти жители являлись первопоселенцами слободки. Основанием для их поселения на территории соседнего уезда могли быть только серьезные причины. Скорее всего, эти люди выполняли роль речных перевозчиков на оживленном Астраханском тракте.

The first visitors started to arrive early, well before 11.00.
From the moment the event was officially open, people queued in front of the cell.
One could put her/his head inside a huge cell for a one-minute light and sound show that illustrates what happens in a cell. A very small girl almost disappeared in it, only an admiring sigh was to be heard: 'oooooh'.
Quite a few researchers-to-be arrived at our doors. A little boy came in with a petri dish with a nice fungal and bacterial collection. Two girls came in asking whether there worked doctors inside because one of them wanted to be a physician the other one wanted to be a laboratory technician.
An interesting question of an 8 year old girl came up at the zebrafish microscope: do fish shrink wit old age? The people were very positive about the living embryos and the beating heart they could see through the microscopes.
A very driven researcher at the Fungal stand was a 10-year old boy who came back several times to improve his Fungal Farts. The balloons were not big enough as far as he was concerned. He was doing a real scientific experiment, adding sugar, yeast or water. In case you wonder what teenagers will draw with yeast: the two we saw doing it, drew a rubber ducky.
Three young girls were absorbed for a long time by building DNA with Lego. Of course, making slime at the stand of Our Body was a big hit. For children that is. Their parents had to wait patiently. If they were lucky someone of the stand had time to tell about the very first and the most recent artificial kidney. Or they could have a look at the 3D printer. And after the waiting there, they could continue to make a cell at the Single Cells stand. Most people that visited the organoid stand came out wiser. The volunteers at the stand kept explaining their research until people understood, while eating popcorn (that has a striking similarity with organoids).
All in all, the broad variety of activities were well appreciated, including the lab-tours. Many visitors stayed long and they especially praised the passion of the crew and their tireless willingness to answer questions.
