Published: June 2022

Background: Hypodontia is one of the frequently observed dental anomalies in which dentofacial esthetics, phonetics, mastication, self-esteem and quality of life can be adversely affected. Awareness of disproportionate tooth number is important and must be considered by orthodontists while making treatment plans to achieve proper occlusion, overbite, and overjet, in order to restrain oral health deterioration. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of non-syndromic hypodontia in orthodontic patients and its association with skeletal malocclusion. Methods: This retrospective case-series was conducted at the department of Orthodontics, Sharif Medical & Dental College. It involved screening the records of orthodontic patients from last 5 years from October 2017 – October 2021, consisting of standardized good quality orthopantomograms and lateral cephalograms. Patient files with incomplete records, any craniofacial syndrome and/or previous history of tooth loss were excluded. Non-syndromic hypodontia and skeletal malocclusion was recorded along with demographic data, in predesigned proforma. Results: Out of 244 orthodontic patients, 18 patients (7.37%) had non-syndromic hypodontia. Moreover, 63 teeth were missing in 18 patients of NSH. Maxillary arch (52.4%) and upper left quadrant (28.6%) were found to be more frequently affected. The difference of non-syndromic hypodontia among dental arches, quadrants and skeletal malocclusion was statistically significant while for genders it was insignificant. Conclusion: Non-syndromic hypodontia was significantly associated with skeletal malocclusion, highlighting their genetic etiology. Most commonly absent tooth was maxillary lateral incisor followed by mandibular second premolar and lateral incisor.

Advancement in controlling meiotic recombination for plant breeding
Authors: Saini Ramswaroop , Budhbhatti Nirali
Published: June 2022

Meiotic recombination (Crossover) that takes place during gamete formation in all the sexually reproducing organisms creates genetic diversity which is very important for crop improvement and the evolution of new varieties when natural and artificial selection act upon this. Research spotlight from the year focused on the potential of tinkering with the mechanism of meiotic recombination to generate genetic diversity for crop improvement and plant breeding purposes. Several approaches are applied to increase CO frequency, alter CO distribution and induce COs between non-homologous chromosomal regions and how to practically apply these in breeding programs. In this review, we describe how altering meiotic recombination frequency could be beneficial for plant breeding and their practical applications for crop improvement.

Published: June 2022

Most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness but affects different people in different ways. The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces. You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth. This paper is about classification of fuzzy logic application in an infectious disease like COVID-19. Fuzzy logic methods are vastly used for diagnosis of diseases and the key fuzzy logic methods used for the infectious diseases are the fuzzy inference system, rule- based fuzzy logic. This paper using python programming language and developed a Fuzzy logic based expert system to indentified possible COVID-19 cases base on symptoms. Python offers an amazingly powerful and free open-source alternative to traditional techniques and applications. Python have libraries for data analysis and visualization like Pandas, numpy etc. as well as for data visualization like matplotlib.

Creative thinking, critical thinking, communicating, and collaborating are 21st century skills needed in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. Skills are not just knowledge abilities, but are more about showing skills in problem solving using creative, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Based on initial observations at MI Jami'atul Qamar Tanjung Morawa, it was found that the problems faced by teachers in learning, including not much information related to the development of 21st century skills, teachers rarely use worksheets as student activity sheets, misconceptions of worksheets as learning tools, lack of teacher skills designing worksheets that contain student activities oriented to real world problems. In response to these problems, activities were carried out to overcome them through Community Service Program activities in the form of a culture-based worksheet design workshop. This program is implemented with 2 methods, namely workshops and mentoring. The workshop was carried out in 3 stages, namely tutorial, training, and simulation (peer demonstration). Meanwhile, assistance is carried out through 3 stages, namely implementation, evaluation and reflection. The output of this service activity is a culture-based worksheet product, and 85% of the achievement of improving teacher skills in designing and implementing culture-based worksheets in mathematics learning.

During the fight against Covid-19, schools and universities in Iraq and many other countries have been closed and digital learning has begun to take place. In this paper, the researchers have tried to identify the difficulties which faced students through Electronic Learning (hereafter, E-learning) during Covid-19. Inadequate instruction, lack of internet and electricity, little experience and low attendance are just some of the problems that our student face in this type of learning. To assess the benefit of such learning in Iraq, it is hypothesized in this paper that online learning has a bad impact on students’ performance be it spoken or written. To test the validity of the hypothesis, an online questionnaire of (3) items was given to (30) 4th year students of English department to identify the problems and solutions to digital learning from their own perspective. Data was analyzed by using a mixed method (i:e both quantitative and qualtitative) because such method describes and interpretes statistical percentages. The results of the analysis show that the biggest problem for most of the students in particular in our country is that electricity and internet are not available all the time. Another conclusion is that some students personally are not interested in the subject of grammar. It has also been found that the best solution is to go back to classroom teaching or face to face communucation. The study provides some recommendations which can be of benefit to EFL teachers, students and probably to the teaching process in cases of emergency.

There may be many factors and barriers involved for their non-participation Objective: To investigate the factors responsible for the non -participation of transgender in sports. Methods: Cross-sectional approach was applied for the collection of required data. Snowball sampling technique for the selection of purposive sampling was applied. Appropriate questionnaire was prepared and used for data collection from a sample of (n=118) individuals with mean age 16 years. Feasibility of the questionnaire was obtained with the help of pilot testing by selecting 30 individuals. Results: The analyzed data have shown that almost all transgender have agreed upon the importance of sports in their lives. At the same time, the results have shown that different factors such as governmental, societal and personal significantly contributing for their non-participation in sports (0.024 < 0.05, 007 < 0.05 & 0.009 < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of the study indicated a viewpoint of the transgender that describes sports as one of the important means for getting recreation and satisfaction. Given this stance, one might expect that transgender would experience discomfort while participation in sports. However, the research findings do not reveal any deleterious effect of sports participation in light of the views of transgender.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most prevalent childhood-onset causes of permanent disability affecting gross motor functioning and postural control ability. Objective: To determine the effects of neurodevelopmental treatment on the gross motor function postural control among children with spastic CP. Methods: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was carried out at Sher e Rabbani Hospital, Department of Pediatric Rehabilitation, Sheikhupura. 66 children fulfilling the inclusion criteria were recruited using the non-probability sampling technique. Participants were divided into two groups, Group A which received beuro developmental techniques along with routine physical therapy while Group B received only routine physical therapy treatment. To collect data, Gross motor function measure scale (GMFM-88) and posture and postural ability scale (PPAS) were employed as outcome measures. Results: Repeated measure ANOVA and an independent t-test were executed for parametric data after assuming normality. Pairwise comparison of both groups demonstrated that gross motor function was significantly improved from baseline to 4th, 8th, and 12th week after applying NDT treatment (p-value≤ 0.05). Pairwise comparison of both groups revealed that postural ability post NDT treatment and significant improvement was observed after 12 weeks in comparison to baseline. While within-group comparison at different follows up for gross motor function measure and postural control also expressed p≤ 0.05 as significant. Conclusions: Children with spastic CP who received Neurodevelopmental Therapy along with conventional physical therapy treatment showed significant improvements in gross motor function and postural control as compared to the control group.
