Published: April 2023

Aim: The contemplations and actions of medical undergraduates concerning their oral well-being mirror their perception of the significance of interdental cleaning aids in the maintenance of oral hygiene. The current study aimed to evaluate understanding and discernment of the practice of interdental aids as well as their role in the maintenance of oral hygiene among medical undergraduates in the district of Sheikhupura, Pakistan. Methods: A questionnaire-based cross-sectional analysis was performed from June 2021 to December 2021 at Amna Inayat Medical College in the district of Sheikhupura, Pakistan on a total of 220 medical undergraduates who were enrolled by convenient sampling method. Data were assembled using a standardized questionnaire that was circulated amongst students of 1st Year MBBS to Final Year MBBS. Associations between awareness regarding interdental cleaning and oral hygiene practice among both genders and all the years of study were assessed through the Pearson Chi-Square test. Results: The study comprised 123 females and 97 males with an average age range of 18 - 25 years. Most of the students i.e. 47.3% knew that the interproximal tooth surface is the most difficult to clean and cannot be effectively cleansed with a toothbrush only. Significant differences were seen in gender regarding the cleaning of teeth (P ≤ 0.001), the challenging surface of the tooth to clean (P ≤ 0.01), reasons for bad breath (P ≤ 0.003), knowledge of gum disease (P ≤ 0.000) and information regarding interdental cleaning (P ≤ 0.000). Practical Implication: Imparting knowledge regarding the maintenance of oral hygiene is crucial due to the connection between the oral cavity and the rest of the body. In a developing country like Pakistan, awareness, and understanding of oral hygiene is not up to the mark even in the medical population. Hence, improvement in oral hygiene can be brought about by creating public awareness regarding interdental aids in addition to brushing alone. Conclusions: Outcomes of the existing research propose that the overall understanding and awareness amongst medical undergraduates related to interdental aids was satisfactory. Established on these conclusions, additional communal-focused oral health promotions are requisite to piloting the degree of the dwelling of medical undergraduates. Keywords: Awareness, Dental, Dentist, Interdental area, Gingivitis, Knowledge, Medical Undergraduates, Oral Health, Periodontitis, Plaque.

Study Design: Retrospective study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Surgery Unit-2, Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical College, Teaching Hospital, Sukkur, Department of Surgery, Wah Medical College POF Hospital, Wah Cantt and from Department of Surgery, CMH Kharian Medical College, Kharian from 1st January 2015 to 30th June 2021. Methodology: One hundred patients were retrospectively evaluated for the proximal gastrectomy with the previously conducted procedures of open gastrectomy as well as laparoscopic gastrectomy. The patients were compared for the various types of gastrectomy used with the new established proximal gastrectomy method. The patient distribution was based on available resources and patients’ consent. Patients were identified as into two groups where group 1 patients were placed for open total gastrectomy whereas group 2 patients were defined as laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy. All the patients were compared in terms of operation time, recurrence rate and associated complications. Results: Mean age of the study participants were 54.5±3.3 years. Higher frequency of males participants were observed as compared to the females. Estimated blood loss was considerably different in both study groups. Excess blood loss was seen in total gastrectomy in contrast to laparoscopic procedure. Less complication was observed in open gastrectomy than to laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy. Conclusion: Minimally invasive surgical method could be the standard surgical procedure for gastric oncology treatment in which function of the stomach can be preserved along with safety profiles. Therefore, LPG can be a preferable treatment option for other available treatment options. Keywords: Invasive, Oncology, Laparoscopic, Complications, Gastric

Livestock activity contributes 6% of Guatemala's total GHG emissions (MARN, 2021), due among other aspects, to the predominance of traditional production systems. The objective of this study was to identify the main sources of GHG emissions and to determine the carbon balance in milk-producing farms in the southeastern region of Guatemala, where 30 farms with different levels of technological innovation were selected and where biophysical and socioeconomic information was collected to estimate GHG emissions using IPCC equations (IPCC, 2006). Carbon sequestration was estimated through the monitoring of temporary plots in different land uses. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and with a T-test for the comparison of high and low innovation systems. The main source of emission on the farms was enteric fermentation, followed by fertilization, fuels, manure and energy. In farms with low innovation the emission by enteric fermentation was higher (p=0.05) and in those with high innovation was fertilization. The intensity of emissions per unit of milk produced was lower in farms with high innovation, while for meat production they were those with low innovation. In both cases this was explained by higher productivity. Likewise, the 53% of the farms presented a positive carbon balance with an important contribution in the compensation of forests and scattered trees in paddocks. In farms with low innovation the contribution was 51 and 30% and in high innovation 48 and 26%, respectively. In dairy farms, the main source of emission was enteric fermentation. In addition, those with better management of tree cover (forests and silvopastoral systems) presented a positive carbon balance.

The objective of the present study was evaluate the carbon cycle in Paraguayan Pantanal area native grassland ecosystems by measuring pasture growth and simulating animal grazing. For this purpose, soil analyzes, annual productivity and forage quality were carried out in 4 agro ecological sites of a 20,000 ha located in Alto Paraguay Department (21º 1' 29.85”S and 58º 17' 38.55” W), from Dec 21, 2019 to Feb 12, 2020. In the selected location was installed an 8 m x 8 m exclusion cage with three treatments (4 m2 subplots), corresponding to cutting intervals (35, 70 and 105 CI days, respectively). The seasonal dry matter (DM) production and the pasture growth rate, adjusted stocking rate at three production levels (50, 70 and 75% breeding rate, respectively), carbon contained in organic matter (OM), root system and aerial biomass accumulated in ground were evaluated. The data were compared using Tukey test with a 5% probability. The emission of greenhouse gases (GG) per head and per ha was simulated and adjusted to breeding livestock to a total area of 6,600 ha and 5,000 grassland ha. The 35 days CI presented 32% higher productivity than 105 days CI in carbon sequestration. The best capture/emission balance per ha was observed in 35 days CI with the 50% breeding rate, producing 1,481 kg of CO2-e ha-1, intensifying and increasing the breeding rate to 75%, the balance decreases to 1,294 kg of CO2-e ha-1. In all cases, livestock in grassland has presented a positive balance when accounting for GG per unit area.

Emotional skills groups can be an important component of delivering secondary mental health care. An emotional skills group has been run in adult mental health services in Somerset FT, however it was felt this was not well adapted for an older adult population. Therefore, a specific emotional skills group was implemented within the older adult’s mental health service. A service evaluation was conducted after participants attended the course. Pre and post outcome measures were collected along with in-depth interviews which were thematically analysed. The results of this service evaluation will inform the running of future emotional skills groups and support equity of access to emotion skills groups for older adults.
The impact of clinical training changes on self-rated competency and confidence in neuropsychology: A survey of UEA-trained clinical psychologists in East Anglia
Authors: Zarotti Nicolò , Ford Catherine , Gracey Fergus
Published: April 2023

A Competency Framework, produced by the British Psychological Society Division of Neuropsychology, specifies the underpinning neuropsychological knowledge and skills required for different levels of practice. In 2016, the Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology at the University of East Anglia (UEA) introduced changes to align its neuropsychology teaching to the Competency Framework. This report illustrates a pilot evaluation of the impact of such changes on the self-rated neuropsychological competency and confidence of UEA-trained clinical psychologists in East Anglia using a bespoke online survey. Based on 76 respondents, the results highlighted, promising effects of the changes, with post–2016 participants showing higher levels of self-rated competency and confidence in neuropsychology than pre-2016 participants. However, the discrepancy in sample size between pre- and post–2016 groups and a number of other caveats and limitations should be considered. Additional iterations of the survey, involving future cohorts following qualification, are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
Supporting patients and families following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Developing a multidisciplinary care pathway and the role of neuropsychology
Authors: Mion Marco , Keeble Thomas
Published: April 2023

This article outlines the current guidelines and recommendations for pre- and post-discharge care and rehabilitation of survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and their families. Although many OHCA survivors make an overall good physical and neurological recovery, many others experience a combination of cognitive decline, emotional problems, fatigue and difficulties in reintegrating in the community and in the workplace. Current pathways of care in the UK are not well suited in identifying and addressing these issues. Neuropsychologists, in particular, are rarely involved in the care of these often-complex patients who fall on the boundaries of neurology, cardiology and critical care.

In this article we summarise the current best practice in the development of a pathway of care and rehabilitation for OHCA survivors in the UK. The role of Neuropsychology is discussed, and clinics are invited to collaborate in the development and evaluation of this pathway of care.
desobediência como ethos
Authors: Ferraro José Luís
Published: April 2023

O presente ensaio aborda a desobediência como ethos a partir da leitura do prefácio foucaultiano intitulado Introdução a uma vida não fascista à obra de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, O anti-Édipo: capitalismo e esquizofrenia, lançada em 1972. Embora escrito em 1977 para edição publicada nos Estados Unidos, o prelúdio escrito por Michel Foucault nos oportuniza problematizar a desobediência como ethos. O olhar elogioso do filósofo francês para o livro de Deleuze e Guattari insere a obra de ambos em uma dimensão ética para que possamos pensar nossa relação com o desejo a partir de um inconsciente que abandona sua condição fantasmática para assumir-se maquínico. Em sua alegoria como usina do desejo, no embate entre a psicanálise de então com uma esquizoanálise insurgente, abre-se a oportunidade para observarmos a crítica como ferramenta para pensarmos todos estes elementos com os microfascismos – os fascismos contemporâneos; seja no seu combate ou na assunção de posturas complacentes em relação a eles. É nestes termos que o presente ensaio toma Foucault, leitor de O anti-Édipo, para pensarmos a possibilidade da desobediência como ethos.

Mucocele of Maxillary sinus is a rare entity comprising 2-10% of all mucoceles and develops due to obstruction of drainage ostium. Here, we present a case of maxillary sinus mucocele in a 20-year-old male who presented with diffuse swelling on the left side of his face. Provisional diagnosis of mucocele was made on a computed tomography scan, which was later confirmed on histopathology. The lesion was managed surgically with uneventful healing at 2 weeks and 3 months follow-up. Mucoceles are often misdiagnosed as cysts or tumours of odontogenic origin on the conventional radiograph. Delay in diagnosis can result in complications due to the expansion of mucocele towards adjacent structures such as the nose and orbit. Therefore, it becomes crucial to diagnose it appropriately with the help of higher imaging modalities so that it can be managed well in time.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most common form of leishmaniasis. It is characterized by nodulo-ulcerative skin lesions and occasionally nodular, papular/plaque, and/or impetiginous lesions on exposed parts of the body. However, other atypical lesions of CL have been reported worldwide such as lupoid, eczematous, erysipeloid, verrucous, dry, zosteriform, paronychial, sporotrichoid, chancriform, annular and erythematous volcanic ulcers. These non-specific lesions often make the diagnosis challenging due to the large number of differential diagnoses and may lead to a delay in the implementation of CL therapy and therefore a higher risk of lifelong scars and major quality of life issues and stigma. We report a case of an 11-year-old immunocompetent albino child boy that presented with 3 years’ history of persistent multiple asymptomatic, small ulcers and cribriform scars of the forehead. Diagnosis of CL was confirmed by detecting Leishmania parasites in tissue specimens, and treatment by antimony drugs resulted in healing of lesion within one month. This is a novel case of a rare, atypical form of CL, which resulted in delayed diagnosis and management. Clinicians, especially those practicing in CL endemic areas like the Americas and the Mediterranean basin, should consider systematically the diagnosis of CL in front of long-lasting and/or non-specific lesions.

Published: April 2023

The nozzle of a 3D printer extrudes molten filament onto the print surface. The detachable and adjustable nozzle of a 3D printer allows for the printing of lines of varying thickness. This study intends to investigate the effect of nozzle diameter on the tensile and flexural properties of printed specimens. The tensile and flexural specimens were prepared according to ASTM D638 Type 1 and ISO 178, respectively. After specimens were printed with nozzles having diameters of 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.8 mm, tensile and flexural tests were conducted using an Instron 5585 machine. Each specimen was printed with 0.2 mm layer thickness, a line pattern, and 100 percent infill. Tensile and flexural behaviors of PLA specimens were comparable, according to the findings. Tensile and flexural strengths increase as nozzle diameter increases, but they are only effective up to a certain diameter. At a nozzle diameter of 0.6 mm, the maximum tensile strength was 33.32 MPa, and at a nozzle diameter of 0.5 mm, the maximum flexural strength was 76.76 MPa. The flexural strength decreases when using nozzles with diameters of 0.6 and 0.8 mm, and the tensile strength decreases when using a nozzle with a larger diameter (0.8 mm). Because the diameter of the nozzle has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of a part, it is crucial to choose the correct nozzle diameter for optimal mechanical properties.

Endovascular thrombectomy is the standard treatment in selected patients with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion, but continuous improvement in angiographic and clinical outcome is still needed. Intra-arterial thrombolysis has been tested as a possible rescue tool in unsuccessful thrombectomy, or as an adjuvant therapy after the endovascular procedure, to pursue complete recanalization. Here we present a case series analysis of intra-arterial alteplase administration (5 mg bolus, repeated up to 15 mg if Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) scale ≥2c is not achieved) in 15 consecutive anterior circulation stroke patients after unsuccessful thrombectomy, defined as TICI score ≤2b after at least 3 passes or if unsuitable for further endovascular attempts, with the aim of improving recanalization. An improvement of final TICI score was achieved in 10 of 15 patients (66.7%). TICI score ≥2c was achieved after 5 mg intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator (iaTPA) in 4 patients, and after 10 mg iaTPA in 5 cases. Six of 15 patients received 15 mg iaTPA: 1 of 6 showed angiographical improvement. A major effect of intra-arterial alteplase was observed for distally migrated emboli. None of the patients experienced any symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation or other major bleeding. Our report shows, in a very small cohort, a high rate of final TICI score improvement, encouraging the development of randomized controlled trials of rescue intra-arterial thrombolysis in patients with suboptimal angiographic results after mechanical thrombectomy.

The article deals with the description of the problem of identification of Ukrainian Orthodoxy in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The authors proceed from the special role of religion in international relations and modern hybrid conflicts in general as well as the peculiarities of the Russian-Ukrainian war as Orthodox countries in particular. The concept of the “national passport of Orthodox churches” of Ukraine has been formulated as a methodological mechanism for quality control and protection of the own identity: to what extent “Ukrainian” in the name of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church reflects belonging to the people of Ukraine. The analysis is based exclusively on church documents: certificates of independence, statutes, resolutions, appeals, etc. An important aspect of the research is the interpretation of the normative part of the documents in terms of their projection and functionality. The authors come to the conclusion that Ukrainian Orthodoxy represented by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have different orientations in their identity and reflect, respectively, constructive and destructive models of functionality in the life of Ukrainian society and become a factor of protection/aggravation in the hybrid war. The material was developed within the framework of the project “Social functionality of religion under the conditions of large-scale dangers: ideological-theoretical and practical dimensions” under the state registration number: 0121U109446.

Nestle India was the target of social media vitriol for a wrapper design for one of its famous chocolate KitKat in January 2022. Numerous consumers used social media to mock the KitKat wrapper for offending the Hindu community's religious sensitivities since the wrapper featured images of Lord Balabhadra, Jagannath, and Mata Subhadra. As a result, many pieces of KitKat had to be taken off the market. Earlier, this campaign was also adversely trolled on social media for its factual error. Nestle KitKat is known for its creative campaigns. Should the company continue with the current campaign, irrespective of the recent setbacks, or choose a different campaign to attract young customers? Could the recent backlash be seen as a catalyst for reassessing the brand? The decision could have an impact in the long run and could also harm intermediate businesses.

A Review Article on the Prediction of Diseases at an Early Stage
Authors: Khan Mohd Nadeem , Srivastava Ankita
Published: April 2023

Individuals today suffer from a wide range of diseases as a result of their lifestyle choices and the environment in which they live. The objective of forecasting disease at an earlier stage becomes an increasingly vital condition as the identification and prediction of such diseases at their earlier phases become highly significant. Most individuals are too lazy to go to the hospital or see a doctor for a small problem. Our approach focuses on accuracy to detect additional symptoms for illness prediction in healthcare. In this section, I've employed a variety of machine learning algorithms carefully and focused in this few, which achieved the highest accuracy with that specific condition in order to build a strong model that produces the most exact forecasts. This work introduces the topics of illness prediction, disease therapy, and local medical consultation with effective machine learning programming. There are several diseases in the world that are brought on by the conditions of people's living habits or their surroundings. Thus, this study offers a summary of machine learning-based illness prediction.

This study aimed to determine if internal audit control and integrity system were predictors of good governance. 325 teaching personnel of the Department of Education, Division of Tagum City were the respondents of this research. The statistical tools used were Mean, Pearson-r, and Regression Analysis. Quantitative non-experimental research utilizing correlational technique with regression analysis was the research design of this paper. Results revealed that the level of internal auditing in terms of risk management, internal control, and compliance and consulting was very high. The level of integrity system obtained a descriptive equivalent of very high in terms of strategic alliance, strategic planning, and fraud control. For the level of good governance, it obtained a very high level of results in terms of rule of law, responsiveness, transparency, and vision and mission. There was a positive significant relationship between internal audit control and integrity system to good governance. Overall, the two independent variables are predictors of good governance.

Published: April 2023

The problem of passive geophysical monitoring of transport objects using acoustic and three-component seismic oscillations is considered. The solution is based on the application of spectral-time analysis, the method of spectral-polarization processing, the selection of informative frequencies of oscillations and the determining the direction finding on the object. The azimuthal orientation of the major axis position of the scattering ellipse obtained by polarization processing makes it possible to determine the direction finding. Numerical estimates of the accuracy of problem solving in a field experiment have been obtained. The proposed approach is based on consideration of the spatial-frequency characteristics of the object and its seasonal variation.

Dil, toplumları ayakta tutan, gelenek ve göreneklerini bir sonraki nesile aktaran milli benliğin oluşmasını sağlayan temel unsur olarak canlı bir varlıktır. Dil toplumların var olmasını sağlayan en önemli temel taşı ve insan ile toplum arasındaki bağı sağlayan en güçlü kültür ögesidir. Dil vasıtasıyla kültür ögelerini bir sonraki kuşağa aktarımının sağlanabildiği ve toplum yapısıyla bağlantılı olarak yaşayış şekli vardır. Bu düşünceyle bağlantılı olarak Türk dünyasının kültürel değerlerini ele alan yaşantıları hakkında önemli kaynaklar sunan Kaşgarlının Divânü Lügâti’t-Türk adlı eseridir. Milletler, tarih sahnesinden bugüne kültürel birikimlerini aktarmıslardır. Bu birikimin olusması için zaman içinde uzun bir yolculuk gerekir. Tarihin karanlık sayfalarından bugüne degin meydana gelen sıra dısı olaylar, o milletin hafızasında ve hissiyatında korunarak aktarılmıstır. ste bu aktarım isini sistemli hale getirerek yapan kültürel abidelerimizden birisi de Divan-u Lügati’t-Türk’tür. Bir dilde söz yapımının zengin olması, o dilin zenginliğiyle ve gelişmişliğiyle doğru orantılıdır. Türkçe sondan eklemeli bir dil olup bu noktada oldukça üretken bir dildir. Yapım ekleri yeni sözler türetmeye yarayan, sözcüğü anlam, yapı ve tür bakımından değiştiren eklerdir. Türkçede söz türetme işlevini isimden isim yapma ekleri, isimden fiil yapma ekleri, fiilden isim yapma ekleri ve fiilden fiil yapma ekleri üstlenmiştir. Bu ekler, Türkçenin ilk yazılı ürünlerinden itibaren fonetik ve morfolojik görünüm açısından sürekli bir değişim ve gelişim geçirerek varlığını sürdürmüştür. Türk dili tarihinin her dönem aralığında söz türetme görevini yerine getirmiştir. Çalışmamızda Karahanlı Türkçesinin izlerini taşıyan Dîvânü Lûgâti’t- Türk adlı eserde bulunan fiilden isim yapan ekler incelenmiş ve bu ekler morfolojik işlev bakımından değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca işlevleri üzerinde durulan bu eklerin türettiği sözcükler ve bu sözcüklerin anlamlarına yer verilmiştir. Eserde yer alan fiilden isim yapan eklerin fonetik değişimlerinden bahsedilmiş ve ne şekilde anlamlar ortaya koyduğu eserde geçen örneklerle izah edilmiştir. Ulaşılan veriler neticesinde Dîvânü Lûgâti’t- Türk’te bulunan fiilden isim yapan ekler, bu eklerin morfolojik işlevleri ve işlek olma durumları tablo hâlinde verilmiş ve değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.

Although detection of drug-susceptible TB by Anti-Persoonsmijnen Ontmijnende Product Ontwikkeling-trained African giant pouched rats has been known for more than a decade, the detection of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) using rats has never been explored before. We present what we believe
to be the first report on rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB) detected using Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra, comparably identified by rats sniffing sputum samples from presumptive TB patients: 88% of RR-TB detected using Ultra were identified by the rats. Further evaluation of the usefulness of rats
for large-scale DR-TB contact triage testing is needed, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where resources are limited.
