Abstract
Introduction: We are living a paradigm shift in orthognathic surgery. Several tools and technological advances are being implemented to help improve surgical experience and to offer better functional and aesthetical results. Virtual surgical planning is a revolutionary tool which helps us design the surgical plan preoperatively and establish a surgical protocol specifically designed for that patient. In this study, our goal is to validate the predictability of virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery, comparing the final results with the virtual plan. Material and methods: We performed an ICP based super imposition of 3D models of the virtual planning preoperatively designed and the 3D model of the postoperative CBCT using free software (Slicer) in patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. The results of the super imposition were saved on the postoperative model and presented as a color-coded map. This was generated as a .vtk file that was exported to another free software that displayed the difference in mm in relevant cephalometric points (point A, point B, pogonion, left and right gonion and first upper molars) in the three axis (x, y and z) between the postoperative result and the virtual plan. Then, we registered these results for all patients and analysed these data. Results: A total of 41 patients were included. The median of the differences in mm between virtual planning and postoperative results were less than 1mm for all cephalometric points, except for both gonion, where greater than 1mm differences were found in the mediolateral (horizontal) direction. For the rest of landmarks, the highest differences were found at A point and pogonion in the anteroposterior direction (0,83mm and 0,78mm, respectively). Conclusions: We found overall small and tolerable differences (<1mm) between the planned movements and the postoperative results. The highest were found at the gonion in the mediolateral direction and mandibular rami, which could be explained by the torque of the proximal segment. The differences in A point and pogonion in the anteroposterior direction were the highest among the rest, which may be related to inaccuracy of the splint in this direction.

Introduction
Success in orthognathic surgery depends not only on the technical aspects of the operation but to a larger extent on the formulation of a precise surgical plan, consistency and capability of achieving predictable, stable results.1 New 3D tools have lately arisen to help us improve accuracy and results, such as virtual surgical planning, which has long been applied in craniofacial surgery but less so in maxillofacial surgery.2 Because of current improvement in imag ing and software, computer-assisted surgery has been increasingly used in orthognathic surgery to improve surgical outcomes.

 Resilience, Risk-Taking Behavior and Aggression among Female Volleyball Players – a Preliminary Study The aim of the current study is to investigate the level of risk-taking behavior, resilience and aggression in female volleyball players and the link between these psychological variables and coach’s performance ranking. A Romanian volleyball team ranked 7th out of 11 in the A1 league in the national championship (2022-2023 period) participated at the study. The Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Stimulating and Instrumental Risk Questionnaire, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski's Aggression Questionnaire and Delphi method (evaluation of female volleyball players by coaches) were used. Analysis of the results reveals that athletes have a low level of perseverance (Go-Ahead factor), a low level of Foul play and a moderate to low level of assertiveness. Also, most athletes registered average or even low levels of resilience

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:
