PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF MULTISCALE FRET AS INNOVATION OF ERGONOMIC GUITAR

The development of multiscale fret as innovation of ergonomic guitar concept aims to make this innovation applied more by guitar luthiers in designing a guitar signature that is modern and ergonomic. This concept has its own advantages, not only producing specific and organic tones, but also has benefits that can minimize the risk of repetitive strain injuries that are often experienced by guitar players. Therefore, multiscale fret has begun to be widely developed and has become one of the alternative innovations that can be applied by guitar luthiers that still adopt conventional fret concept. This paper conducts an preliminary information of the innovation of multiscale fret in a guitar that is associated with aspects of ergonomic comfort. In further research, this is expected to be a reference to understand the basic of multiscale fret and a stepping stone in conducting more systematic review regarding the effectiveness of the performance of human-centered musical instruments.

Introduction: Issues related to endodontic treatment are intrinsically linked to the prevention and total control of pulp and periapical infections. The presence of microorganisms is not limited to the endodontic but is also present in the periradicular regions, characterized by an apical biofilm that is strongly adhered to the surface. In this context of decontamination of root and periapical canals, ozone has been highlighted as an important sanitizer. Objective: To demonstrate the main experimental and clinical findings of the use of ozone therapy alone and in association with conventional treatments as an antiseptic in the treatment of root canals. Methods: The research was carried out from May 2021 to June 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: There is moderate evidence to provide important preliminary information about ozone therapy. As for reducing the microbial load for patients undergoing root canal treatment, ozone therapy has inferior results when compared to conventional chemomechanical techniques using NaOCl. The joint action of these treatments proved to be quite effective. Conclusion: Ozone therapy is proving to be a useful new treatment modality that offers great benefits to patients. The strong antimicrobial power of ozone, together with its ability to stimulate the circulatory system and modulate the immune response, makes it a corrective agent of choice in the treatment of various oral infectious diseases. More research is needed to help with its reproducibility, its use should be indicated by the dentist in clinical practice.

Repetitive Strain

A new, ultra-small, light-activated microtransponder ("p-Chip") has been integrated into the heads of entomological pins toimprove efficiency in collections management and research through radio frequency identification (RFID) of insect specimens.These specimens are typically small, fragile, numerous and especially difficult to track. Globally, the majority are not currentlyrecorded in any database. The application of unique identifiers has previously proven time consuming and difficult. Permanentand integral to the specimen, each p-Chip transmits a unique serial number allowing tracking without contact and reducing therisk of damage to specimens and repetitive strain injuries (RSI) in curators. The p-Chips and the specimens they tag can belinked immediately to biodiversity web services and collections databases. Specimens can be rapidly assigned to groupings asthey are sorted and their taxonomic identity refined; and accurately tracked through high throughput methods and analyses.Quite importantly, with the p-Chips, the profile of the pin head is unchanged, and there is no discernible tactile difference fromstandard entomological pins. We also describe how p-Chips can be retro-fitted to provide complete compendia of legacy samples.

Repetitive Strain

The prevalence of symptoms of the neck, shoulders and arms of any duration and severity, indicated by RSI, was investigated in female workers of 3 different agricultural branches. RSI prevalence varied from 22% in pig farming to 61–65% in mushroom and flowering culture. Physical workload factors that are known to be risk factors for RSI were different for the 3 groups. The groups also differed with respect to psychosocial workload and personal risk factors, but these differences were less pronounced. The combined data of the 3 groups were analysed. Each of the risk factors on a one-by-one basis correlated with the prevalence of symptoms. Multivariate analysis demonstrated only the physical load factors ‘repetitive movements with hands, arms or neck’, ‘prolonged static activity of hands, arms or neck‘, and ‘force exertion by hands or arms’ correlated significantly and positively with the prevalence of RSI. Model predictions showed a linear relation between the probability of having RSI and subgroups of increasing repetitiveness. The predictions appeared to correspond fairly well with the actual prevalence of RSI in these subgroups. An increase in repetitiveness in combination with an increase in force was shown to result in a disproportional increase in probability of having RSI, except for the highest group of repetitiveness. It is concluded that physical workload factors dominate in the relation between work and RSI in agriculture if multiple branches are considered simultaneously. Given the limitation of only 3 branches included yet and only women involved, it is stated that both research and prevention strategies should be directed towards modifying combined physical workload.
