El libro “Rompiendo mitos de la Radiología Oral y Maxilofacial”, aborda temas de relevancia para el estudiante de grado y posgrado, ya que recopila información actualizada sobre conceptos generales de la radiología, equipos radiográficos, protección radiológica y técnicas radiográficas de uso diario en la práctica odontológica. El objetivo de este libro es actualizar conceptos de radiología oral y maxilofacial para su eso en la clínica odontológica. La publicación de esta obra es necesaria debido a un desconocimiento en conceptos básicos y útiles entre los odontólogos, siendo utilizado este tipo de radiación ionizante de manera continua y la mayoría de ocasiones de forma indiscriminada y temerosa entre ellos, por lo que será un aporte para su aplicación en la práctica clínica. La relación entre capítulos como se mencionó anteriormente lleva una secuencia de conceptos que van de la mano con la práctica clínica, entre ellos el capítulo I aborda temas relacionados al uso de la radiación ionizante antes de su aplicación de la radiación ionizante; el capítulo II aborda temas relaciones al uso del equipo de rayos X, el mismo que ayudara al clínico a evitar el uso innecesario de radiación de acuerdo a parámetros como la edad, el peso y las condiciones clínica de cada caso en particular; en el capítulo III se trataran temas relacionados a precautelar la vida de pacientes y personal a cargo del uso de rayos X, ya que se mencionan medidas de protección radiológica aplicados en la clínica odontológica y finalmente el capítulo IV menciona las técnicas radiográficas intraorales básicas en la práctica clínica, ayudando a que el odontólogo pueda identificar el tipo de radiografía a utilizar de acuerdo a las condiciones clínicas del paciente. Este libro de forma general abordara temas básicos y necesarios en la clínica odontológica, derivando mitos que han sido creados hasta la actualidad del uso de la radiación ionizante en odontología.

In the present study, forty-five chicken flocks suspected to be infected with Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in Sharkia Governorate were submitted for clinical and postmortem examination as well as virus isolation and sero-molecular identification. Forty samples were positive for hemagglutinating viruses, 15/40 (37.5%) were confirmed positive isolates against NDV antiserum, 12/40 (30%) were positive isolates against both NDV and AIV (H5) antisera and 9/40 (22.5%) were positive against AIV antiserum using serological identification. Twenty-seven NDV isolates were confirmed positive by molecular identification; twelve of them were confirmed as virulent NDV strains using specific primers. A fragment of 766-bp comprising the 3' end of the M gene and the 5' end of the F gene was sequenced from four amplified products, revealing that these isolates carried the 112RRQKRF117 motif, which is characteristic of virulent strains. The investigated strains were clustered with a class II genotype VIId with large genetic distance with the LaSota strain. This is alarming given the potential evolution of different virulent NDVs and may explain the circulation of these virulent strains among Egyptian poultry farms despite the application of intensive vaccination programs.

Published: May 2024

Ginger powder was used in the current study for the improvement of the growth performance and the efficacy of Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) vaccination in Oreochromis niloticus. A total of 120 apparently healthy fish were classified into 2 equal groups. The control fish received a basal diet and ginger group received a basal diet enriched with 1% ginger powder. The feeding period lasted for 2 months and the growth performance indicators were measured. Next, each group was allocated into 2 equal groups to be 4 groups. G1: received basal diet, G2: received basal diet then vaccinated with A. hydrophila vaccine, G3: received ginger supplemented diet, and G4: received ginger supplemented diet then vaccinated with A. hydrophila vaccine. One-week post vaccination, fish were challenged with A. hydrophila bacteria. Fish fed 1% ginger supplemented diet had a marked increase in growth performance parameters and utilized their feed more efficiently than those received the basal diet. Nitric oxide, IgM and lysozyme activity were significantly differed among fish groups in order of G4 >G2 > G3 > G1. Ginger and/or A. hydrophila vaccine reduced the clinical signs, mortality rate as well as the elevation of alanine aminotransferase and creatinine which induced by A. hydrophila infection. It could be inferred that ginger has been suggested as growth promoter and immune-stimulant in O. niloticus and increase efficacy of A. hydrophila vaccine, which increase protection against A. hydrophila infection.

Published: May 2024

This research was done to mainfest the effect of stocking density on growth performance traits, blood chemistry and the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) genes in growing New Zealand White rabbits. A total of 75 rabbits at weaning (35 days of age) were randomly assigned into three stocking densities of 12, 20 and 28 rabbits/m2 from weaning until 13 weeks of age. Rabbits housed at 28 rabbits/m2 had the lowest feed intake, live body weight and body weight gain, but they had the highest feed to gain ratio when compared with the lower densities. Moreover, rabbits housed at 28 rabbits/m2 showed the highest serum creatinine, glucose and cortisol levels compared with rabbits housed at 20 and 12 rabbits/m2. High stocking density up-regulated the expression of HSP70 gene when compared with the lower densities. Meanwhile, IGF-I mRNA expression was significantly reduced in the rabbits housed at 28 rabbits/m2. In conclusion, high stocking densities (28 rabbit/m2) had negative impacts on growth performance traits and the stress-related parameters (serum glucose, cortisol and creatinine). Moreover, the expression of HSP70 gene was increased, with a remarkable reduction in IGF-I gene expression in the high stocking group.

This study aimed to reconnoiter breed variations in productivity, traits of carcass, economic rate, and IGF-1 gene regulation for meat production among Pekin, Muscovy, and Mulard ducks. A 10-week trial was conducted, using 120 ducklings (2-week old) that were divided into three groups based on breed. Each breed was kept in a separate group, divided into four replicates of 10 birds each. Muscovy ducks exhibited superior body weight, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, dressing and breast percentage compared to the other breeds (P˂0.001). The highest percentage of crude protein was observed in the meat of Mulard ducks leg (23.17) and breast (50.55), and in Muscovy breast meat (51.04). Pekin ducks yielded a significantly higher (P˂0.001) leg and breast fat content (6.27, 6.40 respectively) than Muscovy (4.58, 4.26 respectively) or Mulard ducks (4.13, 3.88 respectively). Notably, Muscovy ducks in comparison to the other breeds yielded the highest gross margin ($1.12) and lowest budget to produce 1kg of live body weight ($2.08) (P= 0.004). Furthermore, hepatic IGF-1 and IGF1R expression was higher in the Muscovy breed than in the other breeds. These genes increase the growth and development of muscles. Therefore, the Muscovy ducks are generally superior in terms of performance, carcass traits, and economic values.

Background: Knee injuries are one of the most common sports injuries and may cause chronic functional impairment. During a study in emergency department approximately 50% of injuries are caused by sports activities, with majority of the cases comprising of knee soft tissue injuries. The most common modality to diagnose musculoskeletal injury is magnetic resonance imaging nowadays. Knee injuries are one of the most frequently overlooked injuries and cause long term functional impairment. MRI provides the most effective and comprehensive imaging assessment of the knee joint and adjacent structures. Objective: To determine the significance of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of contralateral uninjured knee in suspected meniscal/ACL injury of traumatic patients. Study Design: Prospective study. Settings: Radiology Department of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC), Karachi Pakistan. Duration: January 2018 to December 2021. Methods: Patients aged 18 years or older who presented with a unilateral traumatic knee injury requiring medical evaluation and treatment and who underwent MRI evaluations for both the injured knee (ipsilateral) and the contralateral knee (opposite side) as part of their medical assessment were included. After taking informed consent, all patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of both their affected (ipsilateral) and non-affected (contralateral) knee joints. These MRI findings were subjected to rigorous statistical analysis, which included comparisons between the affected and non-affected knees. Self-made proforma was used for the data collection. Results: According to our inclusion criteria, we identified 45 patients to participate in the study. Amongst these 82% of the patients were male and 17% were females, ratio between the male and female is 4.6:1. Mean age of the participants was found to be 38.64±14.4 years. Upon analysis, 62.2% of the patients had meniscal injury associated with ACL/PCL damage. While MRI findings were compared with contralateral normal side and found meniscal injury in 17(37.8%) cases, followed ACL/PCL injury 7(15.6%) and ACL/PCL injury associated meniscal injury ± effusion 7(15.6%) was (p = 0.004). Conclusion: MRI has proven to be a valuable imaging modality for identifying ligament tears and meniscal injuries of the knee joint in patients suspected of having meniscal/ACL injuries due to trauma. It not only assists in diagnosis but also provides valuable insights into the complexity of knee trauma.

Published: May 2024

Background: Placental insufficiency and decreased placental nutrition transfer from the mother to the fetus are the underlying causes of intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR), a serious and very frequent issue in the perinatal period. Due to a lack of recent research in the area, the current study aims to compare the outcomes of two different feeding strategies for preterm infants with abnormal Doppler readings: early vs. delayed initiation of enteral feeds. Then we implement the better of the two feedings regimens into our standard clinical practice. Objective: The objective of the study was to compare early and late enteral feeding in preterm intrauterine growth restricted neonate to evaluate time to reach full feed, risk of feed Intolerance, weight gain at 10th day of life and length of hospital stays. Study Design: The Randomized Control Trial. Settings: This study was conducted in the neonatology department Tertiary Care Hospital (Nursery MCH Centre, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad Pakistan. Duration: 1st June 2022 to 1st December 2022. Methods: The sample was collected from the by non-probability consecutive sampling technique. Babies of any sex who meet the requirements during the first 72 hours of life. A total of 80 newborns were recruited out of them n=40 infants were found as early feeding and n=40 was assigned to late feeding. Demographic and baseline information (admission date, age, gender, gestational age, birth weight) of enrolled neonates recorded in the prescribed proforma. Effects of early or late feeding were monitored daily for 10 days. The outcomes in terms of time to reach full feed, weight gain at 10th day of life and feed intolerance were recorded and compared in both groups. All the information entered on the predesigned proforma by the researcher himself to comply with the study protocol attached. Results: A total of 80 newborns were recruited out of them n=40 infants were found as early feeding and n=40 was assigned to late feeding. The base line characteristics including birth weight, gestational age, respiratory support etc. were not statistically significant. Also, there is no difference of NEC (0.267) and FI (0.312) in early and late feeding groups.  The Cox regression HR: 1.21 (95% CI: 0.829-3.72); p = 0.326). In both groups, the early feeding arm had a shorter median duration by 7 days. Further, the data was compared between early and late feeding group to determined which group is quicker for discontinuation of PN. Conclusion: Our study finds that using the feeding initiation and advancement method and AREDF on Doppler with exclusive breast milk results in faster PN cessation and does not increase the incidence of NEC or FI in preterm IUGR infants between 27 and 33 weeks of age.

Background: Laparoscopic hysterectomy becomes a preferred option all over the world because it is related with less post-operative pain, short hospital stay and earlier recovery as compared with total abdominal hysterectomy. Objective: To compare the mean pain scores between patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy. Study Design: Randomized control trial. Settings: Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad Pakistan. Duration: 8th March 2019 to 7th September 2019. Methods: Total 60 patients, 40-75 years of age undergoing hysterectomy were selected. Patients with history of pelvic or abdominal irradiation, endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease, history of cardiac or pulmonary disease or previous pelvic surgery were excluded. Patients in group A, total laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed where as in group B, total abdominal hysterectomy was performed. All patients were followed for mean post-operative pain for first 24 hours. Results: Our study showed that stratification of pain scores with respect to age in 40-60 years age group was significant where as in 61-75 years age group it was nonsignificant. Another effect modifier in the study was BMI, which showed significant p-value i.e. 0.0001 in both groups (<25 and >25BMI). Postoperative mean pain score in both group of patients were assessed at 2hr, 4hr, 8hr, 12hr and 24hr, which were significant. Conclusion: Standardized technique, patients counselling, relatively younger age group, lower BMI and appropriate post-operative nursing care plays vital role in maintaining pain scores in TLH.

Published: May 2024

Phonological processing of written characters has been recognized as a crucial element in acquiring literacy in any language, both native and foreign. This study aimed to assess Japanese primary school students' phoneme-grapheme recognition skills using both paper-based and touch-interface tests. Differences between the two test formats and the relationship between phoneme-grapheme recognition skills and interaction with gamified digital tests were investigated. Participants were sixth-grade students from two public schools. The results of comparison tests indicated that the touch-interface test had lower success rates compared to the paper-based test for most items, suggesting a difference in performance patterns. A consistent relationship between tested phoneme-grapheme knowledge and successful gamified interaction was found. Findings highlight the potential of touch-interface assessments for assessing phoneme-grapheme recognition skills in primary school classrooms and suggest incorporating more digital tasks to enhance student adaptation.

The integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) into language teaching and learning is mandated by the national policy in Indonesia. This study aims to describe 34 experienced female EFL teachers’ experiences ICT professional development.. This study reports on: 1) encouraging and discouraging factors of ICT use for participants, 2) solutions of ICT integration for participants’ professional development, and 3) peers’ perception on participants’ improvement of ICT competencies. In order to investigate the external and internal factors on the participants' ICT professional development experiences, a sequential explanatory design with mixed methods approach was used in the study. In the first phase, a questionnaire was used as the instrument to categorize participants into satisfactory ICT proficiency and less satisfactory ICT proficiency. The second phase was one-on-one interviews to find further information on the participants’ experiences on ICT professional development.  The questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS, while interviews were analyzed using deductive content analysis which employs four stages in its process. Results show that all teachers with proper ICT proficiency and those who are less proficient in ICT have positive perceptions of the use of technology in education. However, there are differences in how they solve internal and external problems, and how they perceive guidance from peers and also support from the school environment. This study recommends universities and the government to develop programs of ICT professional development suitable for experienced female teachers.

Determinants of Users' Intentions to Use AI-Enabled Technological Innovations in Hotels: A Hybrid Approach Using PLS-SEM and fsQCA
Authors: Terrah Abraham , Ali Faizan , Abbasi Ghazanfar Ali , Doğan Seden , Cobanoglu Cihan
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the factors influencing hotel guests' intentions to adopt next-generation technologies enabled by artificial intelligence (AI). Both affective and cognitive processes, which led to guests' intentions to adopt these new technologies, were considered to have antecedents in the form of intrinsic and extrinsic motives, respectively. The data collected from 331 respondents were analyzed using a combination of methods, including the asymmetrical fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and the symmetrical partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the symmetrical study indicated that novelty and compatibility have a good impact on both enjoyment and usefulness, which ultimately lead to behavioral intentions. In contrast, asymmetrical studies have shown that all the criteria are necessary conditions to produce users' intention to embrace AI-based technology. By integrating IDT and TAM, this study extends the comprehension of factors driving customers to use AI-enabled technologies during their hotel stays. This study also adds to the existing literature by exploring configurational modeling with fsQCA, as opposed to prior studies that have relied on net impact modeling via SEM.
Explanatory Model for the Estimation of the Minimum Monoculture Planted Area for Coffee that would allow reaching a Living Income
Authors: Melo Solarte Diego Samir , Londoño Rendón Jackeline
Published: May 2024

This study's objective was the construction of an explicative model to determine the minimum area necessary to be planted in coffee, to afford a living income, on monoculture coffee farms.
In the sustainable coffee production scenario, the annual net income of families is evaluated in function of the achievement of a decent standard of living for all of its members. The metric which makes this possible is called living income. Unfortunately, among small coffee farmers, there is a large gap between real net income and living income, which is a multidimensional phenomenon, affected by exogenous, difficult-to-control factors, such as area cultivated in coffee and its sale price, in addition to variables derived from productive models employed, such as productivity, costs, and farm food production.
Due to it being a multifactorial phenomenon, data mining algorithms were applied (decision tree and random forest), in order to classify those farms that would close the gap between net and living income. Model iterations were performed on a dataset that gathered historical production cost, income, and cultivated area information from farms located in four Colombian departments.
  It was concluded that the variables which explain the gap in a monoculture coffee system are as follows:  Area planted in coffee, productivity, and sale price.

Benign prostatic enlargement is a common condition in elderly men, caused by a histopathologic disease called benign prostatic hyperplasia. we report a case of a 76-year-old male with a benign prostatic hyperplasia who presented kidney injury due to bilateral hydronephrosis and no amelioration after bladder catheterization. An abdominopelvic computed tomography scan was performed showing bilateral moderate ureterohydronephrosis up to the level of the ureteral orifices within a diffuse thickening of the bladder wall and the endoscopic examination showed trigonal prominence, displacing and deforming the ureteral orifice. Three-months period of ureteral stenting with transurethral resection of prostate leads to significant improvement in renal function. This case underscores the importance of considering detrusor wall thickness as a potential cause of obstructive renal insufficiency, especially in elderly males presenting with chronic retention.

Este texto é um ensaio acadêmico acerca de meus processos de criação enquanto roteirista negra e moradora do Alecrim, periferia rural da cidade de Estância-SE. Escrevo em primeira pessoa uma narrativa dividida em três atos, em texto e imagem, ligados por uma estrutura ficcional sobre uma viagem da terra ao espaço, contendo nela relatos documentais de minha trajetória ao longo dos anos, passando de uma leitora de livros infantis à pesquisadora de pós-graduação sobre a criação de cineastas negras, africanas e diaspóricas. Minha intenção aqui é demonstrar como esse contato com outras artistas reterritorializa meus processos de criação, em qual estado eles se encontram atualmente e para qual futuro eles apontam.

Pelayanan publik yang efektif dan efisien memiliki peran sentral dalam menjaga interaksi positif antara pemerintah daerah dan warganya. Kualitas pelayanan ini secara langsung memengaruhi persepsi masyarakat tentang pemerintahannya. Kinerja pegawai di sektor pelayanan publik tidak hanya mencakup aspek teknis, tetapi juga aspek interpersonal dan kemampuan beradaptasi dengan perubahan lingkungan kerja yang terus berkembang. Penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan analisis dokumen. Data-data yang terkumpul dianalisis melalui kerangka kerja evaluasi kinerja, dengan mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor seperti produktivitas, respon terhadap permintaan masyarakat, efektivitas koordinasi internal, dan kemampuan berinovasi dalam proses pelayanan. Melalui pendekatan ini, penelitian ini mencoba menggambarkan dan menganalisis peran serta kontribusi pegawai pelayanan publik dalam mencapai tujuan pelayanan yang optimal. Hasil penelitian ini menyoroti beberapa temuan penting. Pertama, produktivitas pegawai di sektor Bagian Umum dan Surat-Menyurat masih memerlukan optimisasi. Koordinasi internal dan pengelolaan waktu menjadi faktor kunci dalam upaya meningkatkan produktivitas ini. Kedua, respons terhadap permintaan masyarakat masih memiliki ruang untuk diperbaiki, khususnya dalam hal kecepatan dan kejelasan tanggapan. Ketiga, kemampuan berinovasi dalam proses pelayanan dinilai kurang, menandakan perlunya peningkatan dalam mengadopsi teknologi dan praktik terbaru. Rekomendasi yang dihasilkan dari penelitian ini berupaya mengatasi beberapa tantangan dalam meningkatkan kinerja pegawai pelayanan publik. Pertama, diperlukan peningkatan pelatihan dan pengembangan untuk memperkuat kapasitas teknis dan interpersonal pegawai. Kedua, implementasi teknologi informasi dapat mempercepat respons terhadap permintaan masyarakat dan membantu dalam pemantauan kinerja. Ketiga, perlu adanya langkah-langkah konkret dalam meningkatkan koordinasi dan komunikasi internal, termasuk pembentukan tim lintas unit kerja.
Swipe, like, love

Fast jede zweite Beziehung beginnt virtuell. Tinder, OnlyFans oder Instagram sind die Orte, an denen Annäherung stattfindet, Sex angebahnt wird und Beziehungen geführt werden. Lange verstand die Psychologie das um sich greifende Handynutzungsverhalten als Sucht, suchtähnlich oder als Fear of missing out. Neueste Erkenntnisse weisen aber auf Bindung hin, auf die Liebe zum Endgerät und zu den Personen im virtuellen Raum – seien es neue Online-Bekanntschaften, die langsam zu Real-Life-Beziehungen werden, oder Influencer*innen, die Orientierung bei alltäglichen Fragen und ungewöhnlichen Interessen geben. Johanna L. Degen spürt der Bedeutung der verschiedenen Phänomene von Onlinedating bis Social-Media-Nutzung vor dem Hintergrund der gängigen Theorien von Intimität, Liebe, Sexualität und Beziehung nach und wendet den aktuellen Forschungsstand sowie Erkenntnisse aus der therapeutischen und paartherapeutischen Praxis auf diese Kontexte an.
Kritik der Positiven Psychologie
Authors: Brandt Senta
Published: May 2024

Mit der Positiven Psychologie trat um das Jahr 2000 eine Bewegung auf den Plan, deren Verfechter*innen die Psychologie und die Sozialwissenschaften um das Positive erweitern und so den Menschen zu einem gelingenden Leben verhelfen wollten. Seit dieser Zeit hat sie eine beispiellose Erfolgsgeschichte hingelegt und wurde binnen weniger Jahre zu einem wissenschaftlich etablierten Forschungsfeld. Ausgehend von ihren eigenen Erfahrungen während des Psychologiestudiums untersucht Senta Brandt die Entwicklung der Positiven Psychologie. Sie begibt sich auf die Suche nach ihren Wurzeln und Werten und zeigt, dass ihr Programm entgegen dem Anspruch, eine objektive Wissenschaft zu sein, stark normativ aufgeladen und von strategischen Motiven geprägt ist.

The paper focuses on the process of verbalization of human speech and mental activity within the framework of computer-mediated communication using the example of the editing history of comments posted on the Thomson Reuters news agency page on social networks. The aim of the study is to identify the cognitive and pragmatic characteristics of the step-by-step changes that the text of an Internet comment undergoes during the author’s editing. The work is novel in that it is the first to explore the process of verbal thought formulation on the basis of the authors’ editing history of Internet comments. In addition, the paper represents the first attempt to determine the functional and semantic potential of both the cognitive and pragmatic transformations and the corresponding linguistic means. The results showed that the functional and semantic potential of cognitive and pragmatic procedures and the corresponding linguistic means is aimed at verbalizing emotions, expressing attitudes towards new information, clarifying the modality and reference of language units, which indicates the transition of Internet communication from the oral and written register to the mental and written one.
