Simulation of an Orthodontic System Using the Lingual Technique Based on the Finite Element Method by Abbas Hazem, Felicia Ileana Mărășescu, Mihaela Jana Țuculină, Dragoș Laurențiu Popa, Ionuț Daniel Geonea, Alexandru Iliescu, Petre Mărășescu, Ioan Ovidiu Gheorghe, Alma Roxana Pitru, Eugen Nicolae Tieranu, Ionela Teodora Dascălu

“…<b>Results:</b> The study reveals that although the deformation of the archwires during orthodontic treatment is the same, the forces generated by the three types of archwires on brackets differ. The variation in forces applied to the brackets in the fixed lingual orthodontic technique is essential for customizing orthodontic treatment, as these forces must be precisely controlled to ensure effective tooth movement and prevent overloading of the dental structures. …”

Influence of psychosocial factors and parent–student relationships on the academic engagement of TCM students: a structural equation modeling and multi-criteria decision-making fra... by Liang Shaoshuai, Peng Qian, Zhang Yiwen, Xu Meiru

“…Furthermore, the interplay between EQ, AQ, PR, and parent-student relationships, an underexplored dimension in higher education, may serve as a stabilizing force against academic stressors.MethodsThe study involved 428 Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) students who underwent comprehensive evaluations to assess EQ, AQ, PR, parent-student relationships, and academic engagement. Structural equation modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS analyzed causal pathways, while the VIKOR-AHP method addressed MCDM by (1) weighting criteria via AHP and (2) ranking interventions via VIKOR’s compromise-ranking, ensuring practical solutions amid real-world constraints.ResultsThis study examined the impact of EQ, AQ, PR, and parent-student relationships on the academic engagement of TCM students. …”
