reliquias de la muerte: los elementos clásicos del cuento de hadas en la saga de Harry Potter y el cuento de los tres hermanos
Authors: Horner Botaya Dolores
Published: November 2023

En este artículo se explora el uso que J.K. Rowling hace de algunos elementos constitutivos del cuento de hadas en cuanto género literario a lo largo de las siete novelas que integran la saga de Harry Potter, así como en The Tales of Beedle the Bard (2008) y en particular el cuento de los tres hermanos. Dentro de la saga de Harry Potter, la autora se vale de una mitología propia para explicar la cosmogonía por medio de la cual los personajes conocen e interpretan su mundo y las tareas que deben acometer en él. Dicha cosmogonía posee una abundante serie de referencias a los cuentos de hadas tradicionales, y parte fundamental de la misma se encuentra codificada en la colección que recibe el nombre de The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Mediante una estrategia metaliteraria, Rowling reescribe ciertos cuentos de hadas clásicos, tales como “Cenicienta” y otros más conocidos, pero el que resulta fundamental para la trama de la séptima novela (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows), es el cuento de los tres hermanos. Retomando la tradición folclórica de los cuentos de hermanos de sangre y utilizando tropos pertenecientes al género (tales como la estructura de los tercios y el enfrentamiento/regateo con la muerte), Rowling entreteje una fábula que sirve para explicar el origen del personaje principal y a su vez otorga la clave narrativa para que resulte triunfador en su enfrentamiento con el villano de la historia, conocido como Lord Voldemort. De esta manera, Rowling rinde un homenaje a la tradición oral y, al mismo tiempo, dota de legitimidad a las aspiraciones de su protagonista.

Published: November 2023

Abstract: The key algorithm in autonomous driving is vehicle recognition based computer vision, which tries to recognize whether vehicles are being located by digital photos or videos. Identifying "blocks," which represent the position of the vehicle in photos or videos, is the fundamental concept behind vehicle detection. Additionally, this work explores 3D stereo-based vehicle identification methods, which emerged from sophisticated planar vehicle detection perception. In terms of the differences between the feature extraction approach and the perceived results, this research concludes by summarizing the vehicle detection algorithms used in recent years. It offers theories for more thorough investigation of the vehicle detection systems. With the rapid advancement of machine learning techniques, this tool is now even more essential for object detection. Compared to manually developed features, machine learning-based picture features are more representative. This review paper focuses on object recognition methods based on machine learning and other deep convolutional neural networks however the traditional object detection techniques will also be briefly reviewed.
O núcleo da tríade sombria prediz o ambientalismo por meio da orientação à dominância social
Authors: Monteiro Renan P. , Da Cunha Lucas Queiroz , Loureto Gleidson Diego Lopes , Araújo Iara Caroline Henrique , Pimentel Carlos Eduardo
Published: November 2023

O presente estudo objetivou verificar o papel mediador da orientação à dominância social na relação entre o núcleo da tríade sombria da personalidade e o ambientalismo. Participaram 305 pessoas com idades entre 18 e 77 anos (Midade = 26,4; DPidade = 11,25; 59,7 % mulheres). Os resultados indicaram que entre os 8 traços de personalidade analisados, considerando os modelos dos Cinco Grandes Fatores e da Tríade Sombria, apenas a psicopatia se correlacionou com ambientalismo, sendo que este se correlacionou moderadamente com a orientação à dominância social. Considerando que os três traços sombrios são talhados por déficits empáticos, baixa amabilidade e honestidade/humildade, testou-se o efeito do núcleo da tríade sombria da personalidade para a predição do ambientalismo, observando-se efeitos diretos. Contudo, tais efeitos diretos não se mantiveram estatisticamente significativos com a inclusão da orientação à dominância social, configurando uma mediação completa, posto que o núcleo da tríade sombria predisse indiretamente o ambientalismo. Logo, observa-se que a orientação à dominância social funciona como um mecanismo que possibilita pessoas com traços sombrios não se preocuparem com o meio ambiente, explorando-o em benefício próprio.

The purpose of this product design, which is to facilitate Walker users in resting to sit after a long walk without having to look for a place to sit and is available directly with the Walker, besides that it can also be used as a wheelchair with the help of ot hers. The features needed can be identified based on the results of a questionnaire which is the basis for the design development of walkers (Walkers) that have been on the market. The output of the questionnaire was analyzed by noting important features using the Kano Method. The research results are in the form of two features, with categories in the form of attractive that need to be developed. The features in question are the addition of seats, backrests, and wheels.
About the Work of Z.I. Grzhebin Publishing House in Germany
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikitin Evgenii N.
Published: November 2023

The article describes the work of Z.I. Grzhebin Publishing House in Germany. The work was not favored by the negative attitude towards it of a significant part of the emigrants who considered Grzhebin and Gorky agents of the Soviet government. But Moscow did not favor the publishing house. It particularly disliked the series «Chronicle of the Revolution». In Berlin, the publishing house decided to publish a magazine with the same name. The first issue was published in January 1923. Moscow reacted to this by banning the importation into Russia of books by the Publishing House of Z.I. Grzhebin and opening a criminal case. However, the publishing house continued its activities and stopped working only in 1924, and not in 1923, as stated in a number of reference books.

Exploring other uses of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs): Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of using nortriptyline as an analgesic: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Dezfouli Ramin Abdi , Hashemzadeh Soroush , Mohamadzadeh Anita Saleh , Mortazavi Mohammad
Published: November 2023

Aim: Since the efficacy of some tricyclic antidepressants
(TCAs) in reducing pain has been reported, several studies have
evaluated the analgesic potency of other drugs in this category. This
study aims to accumulate all the data evaluating the efficacy of
nortriptyline in reducing pain. Methods: In accordance with the
PRISMA guideline, clinical trials were imported from PubMed, Web of
Science, and Scopus (until February 2023). Screening stages (based on
pre-defined eligibility criteria) and data extraction were conducted by
two independent researchers. Random- and fixed-effect meta-analysis was
performed to pool the data. Publication bias and study heterogeneity
were assessed. The Cochrane Collaboration tool was utilized to determine
the risk of bias, and the certainty of outcomes was evaluated by the
Grade criteria. Results: Of the initial 648 studies, 14 were
finally imported. Except for one study, all other studies reported that
nortriptyline significantly reduces various types of pain. The pooled
standardized mean difference (95% CI) of reducing pain score as pre-
and post-treatment, compared with placebo, and compared with other
alternative analgesics were -1.20 [-1.48, -0.93], 0.43 [0.23,
0.64], and -0.18 [-0.39, 0.03], respectively. While the most
reported side effects were dry mouth and constipation, all studies
reported that side effects were not serious and were well tolerated.
Outcomes for the effectiveness of nortriptyline and its tolerability got
high certainties. Some studies reported the equality of nortriptyline
with amitriptyline and gabapentin in terms of their analgesic effects.
Conclusion: Using nortriptyline as an analgesic is effective
while being safe and well-tolerated.
Predictive value of cell-free fetal DNA for prenatal screening of sex chromosome aneuploidies and autosomal trisomies (21, 18 and 13) in singleton pregnancies: a systematic review.
Authors: C Chirag Sheth , Belabbes Kenza Benchekroun , Tufanisco Elena Bendala
Published: November 2023

Background. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) analyses the
cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) present in maternal plasma. It is used for
the screening of autosomal trisomies and sex chromosome aneuploidies
(SCAs). Objectives. Compare the positive predictive value (PPV)
of a high-risk cffDNA test result for SCAs (Monosomy X, 47,XXX, 47,XXY
and 47,XYY) and autosomal trisomies (T21, T18 and T13) with confirmatory
diagnostic tests in singleton pregnancies. Identify the main reason for
discordant and inconclusive results. Search strategy. PubMed,
Web of Science and Scopus from 2017. Selection criteria.
Primary research articles on cffDNA testing of autosomal trisomies and
SCAs in singleton pregnancies. Data collection and analysis.
The methodological characteristics of the studies and the statistical
results of each aneuploidy were collected. The risk of bias was assessed
using the CASP tool. Main results. A total of 14 studies were
included. Amongst the autosomal trisomies, T21 had the highest PPVs,
whereas T13 showed the lowest PPVs. As for the SCAs, the lowest PPVs
were found with Monosomy X. Although discordant and inconclusive results
were not rigorously reported, mosaicism was the main cause of false
positives and an insufficient cffDNA fraction was the main reason for
inconclusive results. Conclusions. CffDNA is a reliable
screening tool for the common autosomal trisomies, and it is also useful
for prenatal screening of SCAs, although the PPVs are lower. A positive
NIPT result should be followed with a confirmatory test.
Funding. The review was carried out with no funding.
Keywords. Cell-free fetal DNA, non-invasive prenatal testing,
aneuploidy, trisomy.

Authors: Matysik-Pejas Renata , Szafrańska Monika , Potocka Agnieszka
Published: November 2023

Analiza wymiany towarowej w zakresie produktów rolno-spożywczych pomiędzy Polską a Rosją za latach 1997-2008 wykazała, iż wymianę tę charakteryzuje po stronie polskiej przewaga eksportu nad importem, a zatem dodatnie saldo handlu tymi towarami. Średni udział artykułów rolnospożywczych w ogólnej strukturze polskiego eksportu do Rosji na przełomie lat 1997-2008 ukształtował się na poziomie około 23%, podczas gdy import z Rosji na poziomie niewiele przekraczającym 1%. Spośród czterech sekcji produktów rolno-spożywczych największy udział w eksporcie z Polski do Rosji przypada na sekcję IV, tj. przetwory spożywcze, zaś najmniejszy na sekcję III, tj. tłuszcze i oleje. Po stronie szans polskiego eksportu towarów rolno-spożywczych do Rosji, które należałoby wykorzystać, można wskazać m.in. położenie geograficzne tego kraju, potencjał ekonomiczny, rozmiar i chłonność rynku oraz pozycję na arenie międzynarodowej, a także starania Rosji o wejście w struktury WTO, wzrost zamożności rosyjskiego społeczeństwa oraz brak samowystarczalności żywnościowej. Niestety obok szans istnieje także wiele zagrożeń oraz słabych stron polskiego eksportu do Rosji.

Poziom i dynamika zmian zatrudnienia w sektorze rolnym w Polsce na tle innych państw Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Szczukocka Agata
Published: November 2023

W artykule poruszono problem zatrudnienia w sektorze rolnym. Przedstawiona została trójsektorowa struktura pracujących w Polsce, wskazująca na zachodzące zmiany w zatrudnieniu w ostatnich latach. Analiza danych statystycznych pozwala zaobserwować spadek zatrudnienia w sektorze rolnym i przemysłowym oraz wzrost zatrudnienia w sektorze usług. Zwrócono także uwagę na udział ludności aktywnej zawodowo w rolnictwie w krajach Unii Europejskiej i w Polsce, ze wskazaniem na kraje dominujące. W sektorze rolnym istotnym problemem jest także wzrost bezrobocia i brak możliwości podjęcia pracy w innych, pozarolniczych sektorach ze względu na słabą mobilność ludności wiejskiej a niejednokrotnie także brak wykształcenia i niechęć do zmiany zawodu. W artykule starano się zwrócić uwagę na najważniejsze problemy dotykające polską wieś w ostatnich latach.
Stanowisko Unii Europejskiej w negocjacjach rolnych WTO i jego implikacje dla Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej
Authors: Wróbel Anna
Published: November 2023

Jednym z głównych problemów w ramach trwających obecnie negocjacji handlowych na forum Światowej Organizacji Handlu jest handel rolny. W przypadku Unii Europejskiej, z uwagi na znaczący poziom protekcjonizmu w rolnictwie, przyjęcie w ramach WTO zobowiązań liberalizujących wymianę w tym obszarze oznacza reformę wspólnej polityki rolnej. W chwili obecnej, z uwagi na brak zakończenia rokowań rundy Doha, trudno przewidzieć kierunki zmian w ramach tej polityki. Już teraz można jednak stwierdzić, iż pozytywne zakończenie rokowań przyczyni się do zwiększenia stopnia otwarcia rynku UE na produkty rolne z państw trzecich oraz do redukcji subsydiów eksportowych.

Authors: Żelazowska-Przewłoka Anna
Published: November 2023

Przemysł spożywczy jest jednym z największych i najważniejszych sektorów przemysłowych w Europie. Jest drugi co do wielkości (za przemysłem metalowym) w przemyśle wytwórczym, z 14,5% całkowitego obrotu przemysłowego (917 bln euro dla UE-27). Zatrudnienie w przemyśle spożywczym stanowi 14% całego sektora przemysłowego. Jest niewiele europejskich wielonarodowych spółek konkurujących na całym świecie z wielkim wyborem produktów. Przedsiębiorstwa w sektorze spożywczym to w 99% mikro, małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa (SMEs). Przemysł spożywczy jest gałęzią gospodarki przetwarzającą półprodukty dostarczone przez rolnictwo i rybołówstwo w artykuły żywnościowe (żywność i napoje). Należą do niego nie tylko wszelkiego rodzaju zakłady przetwórcze produkujące wyroby mięsne i mleczne, przetwarzające owoce i warzywa, prowadzące wypiek pieczywa oraz produkujące napoje alkoholowe i bezalkoholowe, lecz również przedsiębiorstwa zajmujące się przetwórstwem produktów rolnych do postaci surowców dla przemysłu spożywczego, jak np. młyny lub cukrownie. Celem opracowania było przedstawienie handlu zagranicznego w przemyśle spożywczym Unii Europejskiej w latach 2005-2009.

The Impact of Energy Crop Production on Land Use in Hungary
Authors: Lászlók Annet
Published: November 2023

Use of land, as a limited resource is gaining importance due to the rapid growth of Earth’s population, the subsequently increasing demand for energy and the presumed impact of climate changes. Despite of the land being a specific resource, as lots of experiences confirm, in most of the countries, as in Hungary, it is not managed optimally. It is a question whether the optimum balance can be reached between different land utilization and production methods and not harming food supply safety but improving the competitiveness of agriculture, decreasing the energy dependence and avoiding an excessive use of soils. The paper analyses the impact of energy crop production on land utilization in Hungary. The current production and technology on the available land cannot satisfy the total energy need by bioenergy. But if land is used which is not cultivated at present due to economic reasons and the possibilities of by-products available in great quantities are exploited, the Hungary’s EU commitment can be fulfilled by 2020. and the country will not risk food production losses or modify the land use considerably.

Polski handel zagraniczny produktami rolno-spożywczymi z wybranymi krajami UE-15 w latach 2005-2011
Authors: Krzemiński Marcin
Published: November 2023

W artykule przedstawiono podstawowe dane dotyczące obrotów rolno-spożywczych z sześcioma wybranymi krajami UE-15 po przystąpieniu Polski do UE. Kraje te posiadają zbliżoną liczbę ludności i charakteryzują się wysoko rozwiniętym rolnictwem. Wielkość obrotów handlu rolno-spożywczego z każdym z tych krajów jest inna; handel z nimi różni się również strukturą towarową obrotów i saldem. Inne było również tempo zmian obrotów z tymi krajami w analizowanym okresie. Przeprowadzone badania pokazują, że z każdym z analizowanych krajów odnotowano wzrost obrotów w eksporcie i imporcie, jednak łączna skala wzrostu była niższa niż w przypadku handlu z krajami, które przystąpiły do UE w 2004 r.

Violencia religiosa en el Sahel Occidental: La actividad yihadista en Mali (2014-2021)
Authors: López Rodriguez Guillermo
Published: November 2023

La actividad yihadista en Mali se ha ido incrementando en los últimos años, siendo una de las zonas con mayor violencia religiosa del mundo musulmán. Ante las elevadas cifras de víctimas morales y el incremento de la intensidad de los ataques, esta investigación analiza la evolución de las dinámicas que ha seguido entre 2014 y 2021. A partir de un estudio cuantitativo sobre la actividad terrorista, se analizan las acciones de grupos yihadistas, identificando sus principales objetivos, las regiones en que operan y las características de los ataques. Los análisis permiten apreciar una tendencia incremental, así como una progresiva unificación de los grupos locales que posteriormente entran en conflicto con organizaciones trasnacionales como el Estado Islámico del Gran Sáhara. Las conclusiones ofrecen una relación entre las divisiones étnicas y geográficas como elemento explicativo de la actividad; se incluyen futuras líneas de investigación en materia de violencia religiosa.

Authors: Jagetia Ganesh Chandra
Published: November 2023

Bael or Aegle marmelos Corrêa is considered a sacred tree by Hindus and is offered to Lord Shiva while worshipping. It grows in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia and is called by various names in different regions. Bael has been used as a traditional medicine in India and other Southeast Asian countries to treat various ailments, including diarrhea, chronic dysentery, constipation, gonorrhea, catarrh, diabetes, deafness, inflammations, ulcerated intestinal mucosa, intermittent fever, melancholia, heart palpitation, and also to control fertility. The ethnomedicinal properties of Bael are owing to its ability to synthesize alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, anthocyanins, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, terpenoids, tannins, lignins, quinones, coumarins, proteins, carbohydrates, amino acids, reducing sugars, fats, and oils. The aegeline, auroptene, umbelliferone, psoralene, marmin, imperatorin, xylorhamnoarabinogalactan I pectic polysaccharide and skimmianine are synthesized by different parts of Bael, and they have shown antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-allergic, anthelmintic, antidiabetic, anticancer, cardioprotective and neuroprotective activities in various experimental models.

Lenguaje del Videoclip

En la sociedad occidental contemporánea se ha debatido extensamente, y se continúan investigando, los rasgos de la que suele denominarse cultura audiovisual, una intrincada y compleja trama de dispositivos tecnológicos, medios de co­ municación y lenguajes muy variados, que actúan como fac­ tores significativosde la configuración y la mutación de nues­ tro entorno sociocultural, tantoen sus aspectos materiales, es­ téticos como en los modos de construcción de la realidad, que impactan sobre lo que pensamos, sobre cómo actuamos y vi­ vimos cotidianamente. La pregunta sobre la entidad de esta sociedad de la infor­ mación y de la naturaleza de los procesos de comunicación ha originado respuestas desde todas las ramas de la investiga­ ción sociológica, ha estimulado el nacimiento de una línea de investigación, los estudios culturales, e incluso se ha aborda­ do desde puntos de vista filosóficos: Resulta extensísimo el acervo de estudios e investigacio­ nes que comienzan a ayudar a entender las diferentes di­ mensiones del problema y a aceptar la necesidad de tratarlo mediante múltiples enfoques. Se cuenta, así, con más piezas para construir el gran puzzle comunicativo, sin abandonar la evidencia de que queda aún mucho por hacer. Esta tarea se hace especialmente problemática si se trata de este formato audiovisual, donde se aúnan fenómeno for­ mal y fenómeno cultural. Los videoclips resultan textos com­ plejos para su clasificación exhaustiva, asícomo se hace diñcil la estabilidad diacrónica en su análisis. De igual forma, se encuentra en contacto con las más po­ tentes e innovadoras manifestaciones juveniles: el consumo de música, en especial de música rock y sus variantes, es ma­ sivamente una característica de la juventud. El clip nació para potenciarla y sigue siendo su principal objetivo. La variedad formal y narrativa que viene desarrollando el vídeo musical en los últimos años es fruto de la constante in­ vestigación en materia audiovisual (recursos electrónicos, digitales...). Este lenguaje único, cercano al publicitario, va mucho más allá porque se le permite más innovación, convir­ tiéndose en la vanguardia de la estética audiovisual contem­ poránea: los mejores técnicos, los más geniales realizadores, los más nuevos y revolucionarios recursos de posproducción han concebido una flamante modalidad audiovisual, que en estos últimos veinte años sólo está emprendiendo su camino.

Authors: Siswantoro
Published: November 2023

This research aims to determine the relationship between students’ internal and external factors,  such as student background, school characteristics, teacher factors, and internet use and the  academic achievement of high school students majoring in science and social studies in Indonesia.  Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilizes panel data from all 34 provinces in  Indonesia over a span of 3 years, from 2017 to 2019. The data sources used are from the Ministry of  Education, Culture, Research, and Technology and the Central Bureau of Statistics. The data is  analyzed using random effect model through linear regression analysis of panel data. The results  show that student background factors, such as student participation and scholarship have a positive  and significant relationship with academic achievement. Additionally, school characteristic  factors, specifically, being a private school and the use of the Internet have been shown to have a  positive and significant relationship with academic achievement. However, the variables related to  teacher factors, specifically qualifications and certification do not have any significant relationship with students’ academic achievement.
TINJAUAN FILOSOFIS TERHADAP MAGANG DALAM KEBIJAKAN MERDEKA BELAJAR KAMPUS MERDEKA DI PERGURUAN TINGGI X
Authors: Haida Sausan Khairunnisa , Rifameutia Tjut
Published: November 2023

Pendidikan di Indonesia mengalami transformasi melalui konsep Merdeka Belajar. Pada tingkat perguruan tinggi, konsep tersebut melahirkan program Kampus Merdeka yang bertujuan memberikan kesempatan kepada mahasiswa untuk belajar di luar program studinya. Sebagai salah satu program belajar yang telah umum diselenggarakan oleh perguruan tinggi di Indonesia, magang atau praktik kerja dalam kebijakan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka mengalami perubahan signifikan pada jumlah satuan kredit semester. Transisi pemaknaan satuan kredit semester dari jam belajar menjadi jam kegiatan mengharuskan kampus melakukan penyesuaian agar capaian pembelajaran mahasiswa tetap terpenuhi. Melalui penelitian ini, kesesuaian antara konsep yang diusung pemerintah dengan implementasi program magang akan ditinjau berdasarkan kerangka filosofis kurikulum pendidikan dari lima aspek, yakni keseimbangan, kedalaman dan keluasan, keutuhan, keberlanjutan, serta progresivitas dalam proses belajar peserta didik. Data yang digunakan untuk mengevaluasi pelaksanaan Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka pada kasus ini didapatkan melalui eksplorasi data sekunder dan wawancara dengan mahasiswa serta dosen Perguruan Tinggi X, sebuah perguruan tinggi negeri di Jawa Barat. Studi kualitatif ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif dalam bentuk naratif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya ketidaksesuaian antara implementasi kebijakan dengan filosofi kurikulum dari segi keseimbangan. Namun, pihak dosen mampu melakukan adaptasi untuk memenuhi kesesuaian bobot satuan kredit semester dengan kompetensi yang seharusnya dimilikimahasiswa.
Serum Hepcidin Levels in Diabetic and Non-diabetic Chronic Hepatitis C Patients and Its Relation with Serum Iron Levels
Authors: Gill Maria , Sharafat Javaria , Bashir Muhammad Usman , Hashmi Rozina Noreen , Lone Khalid Pervez , Faiza
Published: November 2023

Background and Objective: Hepatitis C is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) that primarily affects the liver. Research shows that HCV infection leads to a marked reduction of serum  hepcidin levels which might be a factor in causing systemic iron overload. The present study was aimed to  determine the cause of iron overloadwhich might be due to reduced levels of serum hepcidin in chronic  hepatitis C patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Physiology at University of Health Sciences, Lahorefrom January 2012 to January 2014. A total of 54 male patients of chronic hepatitis C were recruited for this study and divided into two groups, group A (CHC with diabetes) and group B (CHC without diabetes). Both groupswere tested for serum hepcidin, serum iron and serum ferritin levels. ELISA technique was used to measure serum hepcidin. Serum ferritin levels were measured via CODA analyzer. Serum iron levels were measured by colorimetric method. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for serum hepcidin, serum iron and serum ferritin levels in group. The data was analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 20.0. Data was considered significant where P-value was ≤ 0.05.
Results: Patients in both groups showed less serum hepcidin levelsalong with less serum iron levels in 93% cases of both groups. The patients in group A showed raisedferritin levels in 26% cases and normal ferritin levels in 63% cases. Whereas in group B 04% cases showed raisedferritin levels and 92% patients hadnormal ferritin levels; which could be a marker of ongoing chronic inflammation in CHC patients. Non-significant negative correlation was observed between serum iron and serum hepcidin inCHC population.
Conclusion: Hepatitis C virus and decreased serum iron levels in study population may be the reason of less serum hepcidin levels. Raised/normal ferritin reflects chronic inflammation in patients. Non-significant negative correlation between serum iron and serum hepcidin leads the focus towards increasing the sample size in further studies to see any significant negative correlation between studied parameters.

Authors: Zafar Rabia , Urooj Amna , Masood Sehrish
Published: November 2023

Background and Objective: The prevalence of molar incisor hypomineralization varies in different regions of the world. This disorder leads to susceptibility to development of complications and hence timely management is mandatory. This study was designed to determine the frequency of molar incisor hypomineralization in children presenting to dental out-patient department of a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan.
Methods: It was a cross sectional descriptive study carried out at Ibn- Sina Hospital Multan, Pakistan. A total of 300 subjects including children and adolescents presenting to the outdoors were included. The detailed dental examination was carried out by two expert dentists for diagnosis of molar incisor hypomineralization. Data regarding risk factors was collected by administering a standardized and validated questionnaire to the parents about prenatal and post-natal risk factors.
Results: A total of 3.33% children were diagnosed with molar incisor hypomineralization. Male to female ratio was 1:1.3. There was no significant difference with respect to gender. The mean teeth affected per child were 2.1 ± 07. Risk factors found in the study population were asthma, history of typhoid and measles, and frequent antibiotic use.
Conclusion: Molar incisor hypomineralization is quite less frequent in general population with no gender predominance. Pre and post-natal factors effect its development that requires timely management strategies by dental specialists.
