Synthesis and Characterization of Boron Nitride Thin Films Deposited by High-Power Impulse Reactive Magnetron Sputtering.

In the present research, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) films were deposited by reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) of the pure boron target. Nitrogen was used as both a sputtering gas and a reactive gas. It was shown that, using only nitrogen gas, hexagonal-boron-phase thin films were synthesized successfully.

Evaluation of the diagnostic ability of the Fränkel manoeuvre to detect the contributing jaw in angle class II division 1 malocclusion.

Background: A correct diagnosis of patients with an Angle Class II malocclusion is needed to guide treatment decisions toward the contributing jaw and to achieve better treatment outcomes. The aim of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic potential of the Fränkel manoeuvre (FM) for detecting the components determining sagittal discrepancy in Angle Class II division 1.

Materials And Methods: Anonymous questionnaires containing photographs were distributed totwo groups: general practitioner (GP) dentists and orthodontists.

Well-Being of Orthodontic Patients Wearing Orthodontic Appliances.

: Orthodontic appliances may cause discomfort for patients. This could influence the person's psychological well-being. The aim of this study was to examine the psychological health of patients wearing orthodontic appliances.

The effect of cadet resilience on self-efficacy and professional achievement: verification of the moderated mediating effect of vocational calling.

Background: The primary objective of this study was to empirically examine the influence of cadets' resilience on their professional achievement within the unique context of a Military Academy. In doing so, the study sought to delineate the role of self-efficacy as a key mediator in the intricate relationship between the resilience of cadets and their professional achievements. The main focus of this study was to clarify the causal and effect relationships between the psychology and behavior mechanisms of the cadets.
