Esta revisão tem como objetivo fornecer uma análise abrangente das perspectivas contemporâneas e inovações relacionadas aos implantes imediatos na implantodontia. São altamente eficazes, proporcionando resultados satisfatórios e previsíveis para os pacientes. Estudos e análises clínicas consistentemente destacam a capacidade desses implantes em promover a osseointegração de forma rápida e eficiente, garantindo estabilidade ao implante e à prótese dentária subsequente. Além disso, a redução do tempo de tratamento é uma vantagem significativa, eliminando a necessidade de múltiplas cirurgias e procedimentos invasivos. A instalação imediata de implantes após extrações dentárias é uma abordagem de recuperação viável e previsível. Além de reduzir o número de procedimentos, especialmente em dentes anteriores superiores, essa técnica proporciona resultados estéticos e promove a satisfação do paciente. No entanto, a preservação da parede alveolar após a extração é crucial para o sucesso do procedimento. Em casos em que as paredes alveolares estão comprometidas, intervenções adicionais, como enxertos ósseos, podem ser necessárias antes da inserção do implante.
THE IMPACT OF POPULATION GROWTH ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN EUROPE
Authors: Ulrich Delve Fohoue  , Wang xin  , Bola Momoh
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the relationship between population growth and international trade components (exports, imports, and trade volume) across European countries, employing fixed effects models to adjust for unobserved heterogeneity. Contrary to some existing literature which suggests that population growth facilitates an increase in international trade, our findings indicate a negative correlation between population growth and trade dynamics. Specifically, population growth appears to depress exports by boosting local demand for goods and services, while simultaneously reducing imports because of weakened economic conditions and diminished purchasing power. This adverse effect is potentially exacerbated by demographic shifts towards a higher proportion of non-active population segments, which do not contribute to productivity and economic development. Our results underscore the complexity of the relationship between demographic changes and trade patterns, suggesting a focus on the qualitative aspects of population growth as a key factor
PREDICTING WORK STRESS AMONG BUSINESS EDUCATORS IN PUBLIC TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA: THE ROLE OF SOCIAL ORIENTATION AND DECISION-MAKING COMPETENCE
Authors: Ogochukwu Gloria Nnonyelu  , Ile C.M  , Ifeanyi Mathew Azuji
Published: May 2024

This research explored how social orientation and decision-making competence influence work stress among business educators in public tertiary institutions in Anambra State. The study had two research questions and tested two null hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05. It used a correlational survey research design and involved 112 business educators from all public institutions in Anambra State. Three research instruments were employed: the Social Orientation Scale (SOS), the Decision Making Competence Questionnaire (DMCQ), and the Work Stress Scale (WSS-10). The reliability of these instruments was assessed using Cronbachs alpha, yielding coefficients of 0.73 for SOS, 0.76 for DMCQ, and 0.88 for WSS. Data were collected directly from respondents, and simple linear regression was used for analysis. The findings indicated that social orientation significantly predicts work stress among business educators, while decision-making competence does not. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that Institutions should focus on developing social orientation skills among business educators in order to reduce work stress. They should develop support networks for business educators to facilitate positive social orientation and reduce work stress. These networks could involve peer mentoring, informal discussion groups or virtual support systems.

Foreign Language Anxiety: A Study on Spanish Learners
Authors: Akter Moumita
Published: May 2024

Foreign language anxiety (FLA) as a crucial affective variable has been unexplored in the context of the Spanish language. This paper reports a study that investigated Spanish language anxiety (SLA) and its potential causes and inquired into the relationship between the role of a teacher and SLA. A mixed-methods research design was adopted, including a questionnaire [Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS)], semi-structured interviews, and observation as data collection among the undergraduates (female = 32, male = 18) and Spanish teachers (2). The FLCAS data revealed that students experience low to moderate anxiety, with communication apprehension being highly rated (mean = 3.26) followed by fear of negative evaluation (mean = 2.8) and test anxiety (mean = 2.25). The interview data recorded listening and speaking tasks, fear of negative evaluation, teacher talk, negative self-comparison, and previous bad language learning experiences are the prominent sources of anxiety. In this context, Spanish teachers are found to reduce students' anxiety mostly by giving interesting activities, accepting students' mistakes, and using body language. This paper offers insight into the causes that trigger FLA and an impactful relationship between a teacher's role and FLA. Some suggestions are proposed for teachers based on the findings to mitigate students’ anxiety.
Subtle Social Critique in Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer
Authors: Othman.O.Ahmed Kawa
Published: May 2024

Oliver Goldsmith’s, She Stoops to Conquer has been one of the most popular comedies in England’s 18th Century. This is due to the dramatist’s witty usage of satire and humour as a means to ridicule and burlesque society’s vices, shortcomings and false manners of the age. Yet, as the research explains, the play’s comical effects extend far beyond mere social laughter and entertainment. The play in fact delivers subtle radical criticism with regard to important issues such as intergenerational conflicts, gender discrimination, and marriage. The main objective of Goldsmith’s subtle criticism is to revoke and debunks prejudices, misconceptions and false opinions about marriage and woman’s strife for selfhood in Eighteenth-Century England. The research is significant for it brings into focus the dramatist’s artistic techniques in delivering subtle criticism in the comedy of manners.
On the Racialization of the Moroccan ‘Other’ in Orientalist Romance
Authors: Moussaoui Abdelghani
Published: May 2024

This paper offers an understanding of the discourse of difference in relation to the themes of race and identity in Rebecca Stratton’s bestselling romance The Silken Cage. It unravels how Morocco, as a subject and a culture, is racialized in British orientalist romance to underpin the discourse of the centre/periphery duality in cross-cultural encounters. The Silken Cage is worthy of study due to its interest in how the Moroccan ‘Other’ is turned into a commodity in popular romance. After a postcolonial analysis of the suggested romance, it was found that racial conceptions of the Moroccan Other’s identity are at large contingent on racial hierarchies. The novel seems, at first glance, to negotiate the construction of racial identities and thereby dismantle the system of binarism between the ‘Self’ and the ‘Other.’ However, the author’s emphasis on the ambivalence of the oriental subjects articulates a continued need for racial sameness and the denial of difference. Needless to say, given that racial hybridity is a prerequisite for the courtship to be successful reveals that Stratton resists cross-cultural difference. It can be thus argued that Stratton’s romance is an interracial ground where racial differences are not welcomed to legitimize Western hegemony and domination over the Orient.
Sonority-Induced Vowel Deletion and Epenthesis in Bedouin Hijazi Arabic
Authors: AL SOLAMI Majed
Published: May 2024

This paper examined vowel deletion triggered by sonority in Bedouin Hijazi Arabic. Bedouin Hijazi Arabic has a number of predictable vowel deletion processes that are phonologically conditioned. However, the type of vowel deletion examined in this paper is restricted in its application. It is triggered by sonority levels between a consonant in an onset position and a preceding coda. It results in word-medial clusters, which can trigger vowel epenthesis governed by the sonority hierarchy in the dialect. The epenthetic vowel varies in quality based on adjacent segments. The interaction between vowel deletion and epenthesis is examined within Harmonic Serialism, HS, a derivational framework of Optimality Theory. Instead of vowel deletion and vowel insertion taking place at all once, HS stipulates that only a single harmonic element is added progressively in each step. The same constraint hierarchy is implemented in each step until the desired output is achieved.

The aim of the article is to determine the specifics of the impact of the correctional programme of psycho-physiological conditions on the development of the professional competence of general secondary school teachers. The Diagnostics of Mental States of the National Academy of Sciences and the Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) were used to obtain reliable data on the psycho-physiological state of the individual. A specialized online test for teachers was used to obtain data on the teachers’ competence aimed at determining informational competence, testing to determine the teacher’s subject methodical competence, observation of communicative competence. A formative experiment was planned and conducted. It was established that average indicators of psycho-physiological state prevail among teachers. The positive impact of the developed corrective programme on the teachers’ activity and mood was proved. It was concluded that the change in the psycho-physiological states of “invasion” and “avoidance” significantly depends on current social conditions, in particular, on the stability of the safety component. It was found that the correctional programme levelled the connections between the teachers’ subject methodical competence and the current psycho-physiological state. It was established that the teachers’ communicative competence continues to correlate after the completion of the programme with psycho-physiological comfort and general emotional background. In general, we can talk about the relative effectiveness of the developed corrective programme. The obtained results can be used to optimize programmes of continuous postgraduate education in the context of the development of resistance to the stresses of wartime. The prospects for further research are expanding the arsenal of methods for studying the teachers’ psycho-physiological state and clarifying gender differences in the teachers’ experience of stress.

Learning Styles and Motivation: Their Role in Academic Performance
Authors: Sejdiu Shala Diana , Thaçi Emrush , Shala Anila
Published: May 2024

This study examines the correlations between academic motivation, learning styles, and academic achievement in higher education. The goal of this study is to prove that there is a correlation between academic motivation, learning styles, and academic success of students. Utilizing Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses, it explores these variables' impact on academic performance. It highlights the importance of educators recognizing the diversity in learning styles and motivational drivers among students. The results reveal a slight negative correlation between learning styles and academic achievement, but no significant correlation between academic motivation and other variables. The study also suggests that while learning styles have a modest impact on academic performance, the role of motivation is more complex and warrants further investigation. These findings suggest a modest influence of learning preferences on educational outcomes and underscore the complex nature of motivation in academic settings. The study advocates for an integrated pedagogical approach that addresses learning diversity and motivational dynamics. The research contributes to the ongoing debate about the effectiveness of tailoring educational strategies to individual learning styles. It emphasizes the need for a holistic approach in addressing student needs in academic environments.

Published: May 2024

With the increasing number of university students with disabilities, university professors play a significant role in teaching and assessment. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale to assess university faculty’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices in relation to providing special education services. A total of 210 faculty members recruited from 15 universities in Taiwan participated in this study. The sample included lecturers (n = 51), assistant professors (n = 75), associate professors (n = 66), and professors (n = 18). The proposed Faculty Perspectives on Special Education Scale (FPSES), a 32-item scale, includes three subscales: Special Education Knowledge (SEK), Attitudes Towards Students (ATS), and Provision of Services (POS). Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, item analysis, correlation analysis, t tests, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results showed that FPSES has satisfactory internal consistency reliability, with Cronbach’s ? ranging from .93 to .96 and test-retest reliabilities, with coefficient ranging from .88 to .96. The FPSES also exhibited favorable content validity. Furthermore, the CFA confirmed a good fit between the proposed second-order model and the sample data, thereby ensuring the construct validity. In summary, FPSES is a favorable assessment tool with good psychometric properties, which provides insights into faculty perspectives, attitudes, and practices in the provision of special education services for university students with disabilities. Recommendations are provided for future research and the Office of Disability Services at the university.

In terms of human health, mosquitoes are the most important single family of insects. Despite many attempts to control them, these remarkably evolved mosquitos continue to cohabit with humans, feasting on them and their domesticated animals. Aside from blood loss, mosquitoes can transmit a variety of diseases, such as filariasis, malaria, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever, and others. Mosquitoes proliferate due to their ravenous feeding habits, high reproduction rate, dispersal potential, and successful environmental exploitation. As a result, it is critical to limit mosquito multiplication to reduce nuisance and vector-borne infections. To effectively control mosquitoes, it is necessary to understand the species composition, density of populations of different species of mosquitoes, distribution pattern, and behavioral expressions of the numerous mosquitoes found in that area. In this context, the current research work attempts to explore the bioecology and behavior of mosquito fauna in Biradar Colony, Basvakalyan Taluka, Bidar District, Karnataka, India.
In this study, the mosquito population peaked in March and subsequently climbed from April to May 2023. Source reduction is an effective method for the community to regulate the population of various mosquitos, eradication. The significance of this work cannot be overstated in developing control methods for this major mosquito vector through good environmental planning and management, which will aid in lowering breeding habitat.

ABSTRACT
During the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning became a substitute for conventional learning methods, leading to new challenges for both students and faculty.The study aimed at assessing the Perception and Satisfaction of nursing students with online learning at Rusangu University and factors associated with students' perception and satisfaction with online learning.
Methods: The research design adopted for this study was a quantitative analytical cross-sectional study design. The sample was 292 Bachelor of Science in Nursing students comprising pre-service and in-service students who participated in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The students were selected using a stratified proportional simple random sampling technique, encompassing full-time and Block Release Learning nursing students who participated in both online and face-to-face learning at Rusangu University's campuses in Kitwe, Lusaka, and Monze Districts of Zambia. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire with validated subscales. Data was entered in SPSS to analyze the data, descriptive statistics were presented using pie charts, bar charts, frequency tables, Chi square and Fishers exact tests were used to test association between variables and a multivariate logistic regression model (95% confidence interval) were employed for data analysis.
Results: Out of the 292 respondents, 61% had a positive perception, while 39% had a negative perception towards online learning. Regarding satisfaction, 49% expressed satisfaction, and 51% were dissatisfied with online learning during the pandemic. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that poor computer efficacy p-value 0.0001, instructor's knowledge p-value 0.001, course management p-value -0.0001, and technological characteristics p- value 0.001 were associated with reduced odds of positive satisfaction with online learning. Students in block release learning had higher odds of good perception, while poor computer efficacy, instructor's knowledge, course management, and technological characteristics were associated with lower odds of good perception towards online learning.
Conclusion and recommendations: Overall, these findings highlight the importance of addressing various factors to enhance students' satisfaction and perception of online learning during the pandemic. To improve the online learning program, the university should redesign course structures, provide orientation on online platforms, invest in technology and internet access, and enhance students' computer self-efficacy. Offering blended learning courses can ease the transition to online learning.

Unveiling the Dualities: Exploring the Intersectionality of Caste and Gender in Meena Kandasamy's Literary Landscape
Authors: - Ananya Shreyas , - Raman Malik
Published: May 2024

This research paper delves into the nuanced portrayal of caste intersectionality with gender in the literary works of Meena Kandasamy, a prominent contemporary Indian writer. Kandasamy's narratives provide a rich tapestry through which to examine the multifaceted experiences of individuals navigating the complex social structures of caste and gender in India. Through a close analysis of selected texts, this study aims to elucidate the ways in which caste and gender intersect to shape identities, power dynamics, and social hierarchies. Drawing on intersectional feminist theory and postcolonial perspectives, the paper explores how Kandasamy's characters negotiate and resist the oppressive forces of caste and patriarchy, while also highlighting the complexities and contradictions inherent in their struggles for agency and liberation. By engaging with Kandasamy's literature, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between caste and gender in contemporary Indian society, shedding light on the lived realities of marginalized individuals and communities.
A Study on the Impact of Ego Defense Mechanisms on the Formation of Close Relationships in Young Adults

Abstract - This study looks into how young adults’ defensive mechanisms affect their ability to build close relationships. The study concentrated on investigating the connection between attachment related anxiety and avoidance with mature, immature, and neurotic defense mechanisms. 180 young adults aged between 18 to 25 had their data collected using a quantitative study approach. The experiences in close relationships revised (ECR-R) and the defense style questionnaire (DSQ-40) were used to examine attachment related anxiety/avoidance and defense mechanisms, respectively. The results show a substantial negative link between attachment scores in people with mature defense mechanisms, indicating that people with better interpersonal interactions are also likely to have higher levels of mature defense mechanisms. Nevertheless, no meaningful associations were discovered between immature defense mechanisms and their attachment scores. The results showed a somewhat positive association between neurotic defense mechanisms and attachment scores, suggesting that those with higher attachment related anxiety and avoidance also typically have higher levels of neurotic defense mechanisms. Overall, the findings are consistent with the hypothesis that while neurotic defense systems also influence attachment patterns, mature defense mechanisms are linked to lower anxiety and avoidance in terms of attachment. These results advance our knowledge of how attachment styles and defense mechanisms interact in the setting of close relationships among young adults.
Improving AI Model Performance by Augmenting Synthetic Data
Authors: - Monojit Banerjee
Published: May 2024

In recent years, supervised learning has improved many computer vision problems. However, data scarcity, lack of labeled data, and imbalanced datasets have created issues in adopting this improvement in the medical imaging domain. With the recent advancement in other large language and vision language models(eg: chatgpt, DALL-E) generating synthetic data has become easier. However, this is still cost-prohibitive for large-scale datasets specifically image dataset generation. This approach can also may not be suitable for privacy-first datasets. In this work, the proposed methodology is to generate synthetic images based on available labeled images and then use these generated images along with the existing data to solve above mentioned issues. Chest X-ray datasets are one of the complex datasets that suffer from label imbalance problems and strict data privacy is required for handling any such kind of data. In this work, a simplified generative adversarial network-based solution is used which is cost-effective and provides better results than only using available datasets. This proposed method is especially useful for privacy-first, imbalanced datasets. Finally, this solution was compared with some existing proposals. The promising result obtained using this methodology shows that this proposed solution can be expanded to other domains.
