Restorative materials in the new era aim to be “bio-active” and long-lasting. As a part of our continuous interest of developing functional dual action restorative materials capable of being “bio-active” and wound healing, we design and evaluate several novel chitosan-vitamin C (5:1) containing hydrogels as a prototype of host:guest molecular free radical defense material containing hydroethanoic propolis extract (antioxidant containing material), naproxen, ibuprofen (non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication), or aspirin (pain relieve medication and free radical scavengers) as functional restorative materials. We will evaluate the physical properties, bonding to dentin as well as test the bioadhesion of the newly designed materials in order to access the suitability of these prototype materials as suitable restorative materials. Materials and Methods: The hydrogels were prepared by previously reported by us protocol. The physico-chemical features including surface morphology (SEM), release behaviors, stability of the therapeutic agent-anti-oxidant-chitosan and the effect of the hydrogels on the shear bond strength of dentin were measured and compared to the earlier reported chitosan-antioxidant containing hydrogels. Structural investigations of the reactive surface of the hydrogel were reported. Bio-adhesive studies were performed in order to assess the suitability of these designed materials. Results: Release of aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen conferred the added benefit of synergistic action of a functional therapeutic delivery when comparing the newly designed chitosan-based hydrogel restorative materials to the commercially available products alone. Either the release of therapeutic agents or the antioxidant stability was affected by storage over a 12-month period. All chitosan:vitamin C hydrogels showed gave significantly higher shear bond values than dentin treated or not treated with phosphoric acid, which highlighted the feasibility. The bio-adhesive capacity of the materials in the 2 separate “in vitro” systems were tested and quantified. Additional action of chitosan:vitamin C pre-complex was investigated and it was found that favourable synergistic effect of free radical build-in defense mechanism of the new functional materials. Conclusion: Additional action of chitosan:vitamin C pre-complex was investigated and it was found that favorable synergistic effect of free radical build-in defense mechanism of the new functional materials, increased dentin bond strength, sustainable bio-adhesion, and acted as a “proof of concept” for the functional multi-dimensional restorative materials with potential application in wound healing in vitro.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
