Evaluation of Coconut Oil Pulling vs. Whitening Mouthwash as Home Teeth Whitening Methods

Purpose: This study was aimed to evaluate whitening efficacy, tooth sensitivity, and soft tissue irritation of coconut oil pulling as a home whitening method compared to an over-the-counter whitening mouthwash. Material and Methods: A randomized controlled clinical study was done on 60 females at Umm Al-Qura University, Faculty of Dentistry. The participants were divided into two main groups (n=30), to test two whitening agents; Study Group “Coconut Oil Swish” and Control Group “Crest 3D White”. Color measurement was done using the VITA Easyshade® Advance device at three times; the baseline, after one week and after two weeks of whitening. Pain assessment “ tooth sensitivity & soft tissue irritation” was done by utilizing the Pain Rating Scale “Wong-Baker FACES”. Results: The results in this study revealed no significant difference between lightness of the both group but the color differences (ΔE1 & ΔE2) in the Crest 3D White (control group) were scientifically higher than in the Coconut Oil Swish (study group). Regarding the pain assessment, a significant difference in pain scores was found between the two groups as Coconut Oil Swich (study group) recorded lower pain score than Crest 3D White (control group). Conclusion: Although the Coconut oil pulling revealed a whitening efficacy after two weeks of use; the whitening mouthwash that contains 1.5% hydrogen peroxide recorded higher color change at one- or two-weeks use. Coconut oil pulling causes less tooth sensitivity and/or soft tissue irritation during regular use when compared to the whitening mouthwash that contains 1.5% hydrogen peroxide.
Nonlinear Train-Track-Bridge Interaction with Unsupported Sleeper Group

Article history: Received: 23.02. 2020 Accepted: 1.04. 2020 Published: 26.06. 2020 One of the main characteristics of the ballasted track compared to the slab track is the ability to reduce the level of vibration on the bridge surface. However, due to factors such as the asymmetric or permanent settlement of the ballast layer (compaction), crushing, or moving of ballast particles, a gap between sleeper and ballast appears. This problem intensifies vibrations in the track and, as a result, can affect the dynamic response of the bridge. So far, the lack of scientific attention to this issue on the railway bridge is noticeable. Hence, in this article, by examining a nonlinear dynamic model of Train-Track-Bridge interaction, the effect of the unsupported sleeper on the dynamic behavior of a concrete railway bridge is studied. For this purpose, the influence of a suspended sleeper-group at the different positions along the bridge span, in a range of train speed and gap size, are investigated. It is demonstrated that for the case of the unsupported sleeper-group within the 2/8 and 5/8 of the bridge span, the acceleration of the bridge reaches its maximum. Also, the maximum load on the deck of the bridge increases by 45 to 60%.

ON THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEPOSIT RATES IN CONVENTIONAL BANKS AND PROFIT- SHARING RATES IN ISLAMIC BANKS IN TURKEY TÜRKİYE’DE MEVDUAT BANKASI FAİZLERİ VE KATILIM BANKASI KÂR PAYLARI ARASINDAKİ NEDENSELLİK İLİŞKİSİ

This paper empirically investigates whether profit-sharing rates in Islamic banks follow rates of the conventional banks in Turkey over the sample period March 2001 to June 2019 through employing both standard econometric and wavelet approaches. We identify both unidirectional and bidirectional causality between the monthly observations at different time scales. Moreover, the direction of the relationship considerably varies and displays coefficient sign reversal over wavelet scales. Overall, our findings suggest that the rates of return in both banking sectors are not independent of each other and, therefore, have important implications regarding financial stability and risk management.
Challenges facing extension agents in Iraq

Determination of the challenges extension agents are facing leads to increased efficiency and effectiveness of extension services. This study assessed the challenges extension agents in Iraq are facing. 100 extension agents were selecting, face-to-faces an interview with a pre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The study revealed that fifty-three of respondents faced medium challenges. The most important challenges were; low extension agents to farmer ratio, lack of farmer participation, dispersion among the farmers, weak research-extension-farmer linkage, lack of funding, farmers are mostly small scale producers, extension agents are overloaded, and highly centralized in agricultural extension work.A significant and negative correlation was found between the challenges mentioned and the educational qualification, number of trainings attended by extension agent. Challenges can be addressed through staffing more extension agents, increase farmer participation, strength linkage of research-extension-farmers, and provide adequate fund.
Examining the dark side of motivation on life satisfaction in college students: does grit matter?

Despite the fact that teachers can have an important effect on the regulation of student behavior, the existing scientific literature has hardly explored the simultaneous influence of personal traits and social factors to promote student well-being. This study examined the mediating role of amotivated behavior and the relationship with teacher controlling behaviors, grit, and satisfaction with life. A total of 474 college students (female= 135; male= 339) participated in the study. All participants completed a multi-section survey assessing the constructs under analysis. Results from the structural model analysis displayed acceptable fit and amotivation played a mediating role in the relationship between grit-perseverance and life satisfaction but not for gritpassion. These findings provide evidence regarding adequate teacher behavior and the importance of measuring student grit in the classroom setting. These findings provide new insights into the understanding of teacher motivational behaviors and student learning processes that influence student behavioral regulations and affective outcomes.
Exploring the Role of Slum Tourism in Developing Slums in Egypt: "Applied on Slums of Alexandria City"

Slum tourism refers to that form of speciality tourism, which involves organising tours to impoverished areas in some cities. This research aims at activating slum tourism in Egypt for benefiting from its role in developing slums of Egypt 'applied on slums of Alexandria City'. The research depended on primary data through targeting 520 online questionnaire forms at a random sample of respondents. The questionnaire was designed for gathering answers on applying slum tourism to benefit from its role in transforming slums into developed urban areas. The research also depended on secondary data related to the subject of study. The findings revealed that slum tourism attracts high expenditure niche tourists which can affect positively on the Egyptian tourism sector. Furthermore, it can be a successful way towards developing slums in Egypt by donating a portion of its tours' profits in developing slums of Alexandria, and then other Egyptian cities can act accordingly. The research recommends raising the local people's awareness of slum tourism and its importance. It also emphasises the co-operation amongst Egyptian travel agencies in Egypt, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and local Egyptian development institutions in achieving this goal.
Direct Written Corrective Feedback with Metalinguistic Explanation: Investigating Language Analytic Ability

In an attempt to add to the current body of research on written corrective feedback (CF), the current study reports on a nine-week intervention, which initially focused on the effect of direct written CF on learners’ use of English articles in their writing and then examined the effect of adding metalinguistic explanation to this CF type; and finally, the effect of learners’ Language Analytic Ability as an individual difference factor is investigated on language development through CF. To do so, this study used a pretest-treatment-posttest- delayed posttest research design and involved 57 intermediate female Iranian EFL learners aged 15-18 in three intact language classes, randomly assigned to the following groups: direct-only CF, direct CF with metalinguistic explanation, and control group. Initially, the findings demonstrated positive effects for direct written CF provided to learners’ writing, though the short-term benefit was more evident and statistically significant. The results also revealed a positive gain pattern through time for learners that received metalinguistic explanation, which supports the provision of such information along with written CF in language classrooms. Finally, learners’ language analytic ability was seen to be predictive of short-term and long-term learner gains when received metalinguistic explanation. The findings suggest that metalinguistic explanation provided as part of the feedback to language learners’ writing is conducive to a higher level of cognitive engagement and leads to better learning outcomes.
Review: Treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection

Abstract: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is strongly associated with a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal diseases, such as duodenal or gastric ulcers and gastric cancer. Currently, the main treatment of H.pylori infection involves the use of a combination of antimicrobial agents such as amoxicillin, metronidazole and clarithromycin and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). In many guidelines, triple therapy consisting of two antibiotics (amoxicillin/metronidazole and clarithromycin) and a PPI is used as the first treatment line. Unfortunately, the increased resistance of H. pylori to clarithromycin and metronidazole adversely affect the effectiveness of triple therapy and reduces the eradication rates to an unacceptable levels. Several regimens has been proposed to replace standard triple therapy such as bismuth-containing quadruple therapy, sequential therapy, concomitant therapy, hybrid therapy and levofloxacin based therapy. Many regimens are used as rescue therapy based on what was previously used in the treatment such as bismuth quadruple therapy, rifabutin triple therapy and levofloxacin based therapies. However, due to the bacterial resistance to antibiotics that can limit the applicability of such regimens and because the resistance to amoxicillin is very low, high-dose dual therapy consisting of amoxicillin and a PPI has been proposed as an effective and safe first-line or rescue therapy.
Determinants of Exclusive Breastfeeding in Babies 0-6 Months in Medan Sunggal District

Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is very important for both mother and baby. The number of mothers who exclusively breastfeed their babies is still low (<80%). Medan Sunggal Puskesmas, Medan Sunggal Subdistrict, has a low achievement of exclusive breastfeeding in 2018 at 49.3% and decreased in 2019, namely 45.6%. Many factors influence exclusive breastfeeding, namely predisposing factors, enabling factors and reinforing factors. The purpose of this study was to find the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding in infants aged 0-6 months in Medan Sunggal District. Population of 256 people. Samples using the Slovin formula obtained 156 people. Data collection using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate and multivariate using multiple logistic regression tests at the 95% significance level. The results showed that statistically knowledge (0.016), attitude (0.016), maternal ability (<0.001), breastfeeding facilities (0.001), husband's support (0.004), and parental support (0.010) had a significant effect on exclusive breastfeeding. Trust, ability of health workers, support from friends and the role of cadres have no effect. The dominant factor influencing is the ability of mothers with the value of Exp (B) 30,233, meaning that mothers have good abilities tend to be 30,233 times the mother gives exclusive breastfeeding to babies than the ability is not good. The conclusion is that the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding are knowledge, attitudes, abilities of mothers, breastfeeding facilities, husband's support and parental support. It is recommended that the Medan Sunggal government to increase regular counseling and form a companion group to make exclusive breastfeeding successful through peer groups or groups of mothers who love babies.

Effect of moisture stress on yield, quality and biochemical attributes of chia (Salvia hispanica l.) genotypes

A pot experiment was conducted at College of Horticulture, Mudigere under protected condition to study the effect of moisture stress on performance of four local genotypes of chia viz., H. D. Kote local, Mysore local, T. Narasipura local and Nanjangud local with three moisture stress levels i. e. 50, 75 and 100 % (Control) of field capacity. The experiment was laid out in a factorial completely randomized design with three replications. The results of the study inferred that different genotypes showed variable results on different attributes due to varying physiological constraints. Genotype H. D. Kote local showed better performance concerning yield, quality and biochemical attributes. While, the genotype Mysore local was found inferior. Severe water stress (50 % of FC) reduced the number of spikes per plant, seed yield per plant (g/plant) and per hectare (kg/ha), test weight of seeds (g), drought tolerance index and protein content (%). However, moderate stress (75 % of FC) registered fewer days to fifty per cent flowering and favored higher protein content in seeds. Likewise, severe stress favoured higher proline content (μg/g fresh weight) in leaves. Therefore, control (100 % of FC) was found beneficial for higher seed yield in chia genotypes.
Nickel-phenanthroline Complex Supported on Mesoporous Carbon as a Catalyst for Carboxylation under CO2 Atmosphere

Carbon dioxide is a highly potential renewable C1 source for synthesis of fine chemicals. Utilization of CO2 in carboxylation reactions requires catalysts, such as: nickel complex for CO2 activation. However, the use of homogeneous catalysts in the reaction is still less efficient due to the difficulty of separating the product and catalyst from reaction mixture. Therefore, it is necessary to heterogenize the nickel complex in a solid support such as mesoporous carbon. In this report, mesoporous carbon (MC) prepared from phloroglucinol and formaldehyde through soft template method was used as a solid support for Ni-phenanthroline complex (Ni-phen). The catalyst was characterized by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), and Surface Area Analyzer (SAA). The result of SAA characterization showed that the pore diameter of MC was 6.7 nm and Ni-phen/MC was 5.1 nm which indicates that the materials have mesosize pores. Ni-phen/MC material was then used as a heterogeneous catalyst in the carboxylation reaction of phenylacetylene under an ambient CO2 pressure. The reactions were carried out in several variations of conditions such as temperature, time and catalyst types. Based on the results of the reaction, the best conditions were obtained at 25 °C for 8 h of reaction time using Ni-phen/MC catalyst. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Performance, nutrient digestibility and feed cost benefit of finisher broiler chickens

® A study was carried out to determine the effect of Crina Poultry Plus , a natural blend of essential oils and benzoic acid. on the growth performance, carcass yield and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens. Six treatment diets were formulated by the addition of Crina ® Poultry Plus(CPP ) at 0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6g/kg of feed. Two hundred and forty day-old chicks were allocated to the six dietary treatments with each treatment having four replicates. Each replicate had 10 broilers. The parameters measured were live weight, live weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, protein efficiency ratio, carcass and organ characteristics, nutrient utilization and feed cost benefit. Results of growth performance showed that there were no significant differences (P>0.05) across the treatment groups, but ® birds fed diets supplemented with CPP had significantly heavier body weight (BW), higher average daily weigh gain live weight gain and similar feed conversion ratio when compared with the control group. The dressing percentage, thigh, drum stick, breast cut and back cut were not significantly (P>0.05) different across the treatment groups but those fed diet ® supplemented with CPP had higher values when compared with the control diet. The ® supplementation of CPP improved nutrient digestibility in broiler chickens. Birds fed diet ® containing 0.6g of CPP had numerically lower cost per kg of weight gained compared to ® other treatment groups. It can be concluded that the addition of 0.6 g CPP in broiler diets improved performance, carcass, organ characteristics and nutrient utilization of broilers.
