Cidadania Romana na Epístola aos Filipenses: um diálogo com José Comblin
Authors: Lara Valter Luiz
Published: January 2020

O presente artigo visa a refletir a interpretação que José Comblin oferece sobre a situação que motivou Paulo de Tarso ao escrever a Epístola aos Filipenses. Trata-se não apenas da retomada do trabalho do mestre Comblin publicado em 1985 como comentário à Epístola, mas de um diálogo que abre novas possibilidade de compreensão do contexto não só de Paulo, mas da própria comunidade a quem ele escreve. O objetivo é demonstrar como o autor entende a prisão de Paulo e o que pode acontecer com ele naquele contexto imediato. Além da possibilidade dessa motivação primeira, cujo centro é a possibilidade do uso da cidadania romana que Paulo, naquele momento, pressupostamente poderia apresentar para “escapar” do martírio, procuramos acrescentar outros elementos do contexto sociológico dos destinatários da carta: a nova vida em Cristo dos filipenses precisa enfrentar as tensões de uma cidade orgulhosa por ostentar o status de colônia romana. A situação imediata de Paulo prisioneiro é, sem dúvida, motivação importante de um dos três bilhetes que compõem o conjunto da Epístola. Entretanto, a realidade de conflito social, vivida pela comunidade ao enfrentar o modelo sociocultural de desigualdade dominante, explica o caráter da exortação ética em torno da unidade (Fl 2,1-5) e o modelo cristológico apresentado como critério para viver o exemplo de Jesus que se fez escravo (Fl 2,6-11). Ambos, seguimento de Jesus e o novo modelo de relacionamento humano, são as marcas da identidade cristã que deve prevalecer como testemunho frente aos de fora.
Nova Teologia Política: memoria passionis e mística de olhos abertos
Authors: Gonçalves Paulo Sérgio Lopes
Published: January 2020

Objetiva-se, neste artigo, analisar filosófico e teologicamente as categorias memoria passionis e “mística de olhos abertos”, desenvolvidas na nova teologia política de Johann Baptist Metz. Justifica-se esse objetivo por ser a obra desse teólogo distinta da teologia política elaborada filosoficamente como teoria do Direito e do Estado. Há de considerar também a centralidade antropológica trazida por Karl Rahner à teologia contemporânea, ao formular a sua antropologia transcendental, e impulsionar, em consonância com outros teólogos, um intenso processo de renovação teológica, do qual faz parte essa nova teologia. Por ser um complexo teológico formulado por cerca de cinco décadas, o referido teólogo alemão a sintetizou em suas obras Memoria Passionis e Mística de Olhos Abertos, ambas escritas na década de 2000. Para atingir esse objetivo, expor-se-ão a pertinência e a relevância da nova teologia política em termos contemporâneos, cuja concentração bibliográfica remete aos primórdios dessa teologia. Em seguida, serão analisadas as categorias memoria passionis e “mística de olhos abertos”, com fundamentação em obras homônimas respectivamente. Espera-se, com esta análise, contribuir com o debate sobre a teologia política no contexto de pós-modernidade e de globalização, em que se requer da teologia fidelidade ontológica ao que ela é: discurso contemporâneo sobre Deus.
Traços nipônicos no rosto do protestantismo brasileiro. Ensaio sobre a vida de João Yasoji Ito
Authors: Dias Júlio César Tavares
Published: January 2020

A partir do ano de 1908, começam a chegar ao Brasil imigrantes japoneses que se dedicaram a agricultura e estabeleceram colônias principalmente no estado de São Paulo. Para lhes prestar assistência espiritual, decide vir também do Japão o missionário anglicano João Yasoji Ito, cujo empenho evangelizador se mostra eficaz, pois muitos se converteram. Ito desempenhou várias atividades em prol de sua missão e buscou que as comunidades que fundou não fossem reconhecidas como igrejas dos japoneses, mas se incorporassem à sociedade brasileira. Esse representa um importante episódio da história do protestantismo no Brasil, uma vez que essa história é geralmente ligada à vinda de missionários da América do Norte.
O descentrar-se humano em sua dimensão Kenótica no comentário ao Cântico dos Cânticos de Gregório de Nissa
Authors: Da Silva Maria Freire
Published: January 2020

Objetiva-se, nesse estudo, apresentar a mística e o descentrar-se humano em sua ascensão para Deus, no comentário ao Cântico dos Cânticos de Gregório de Nissa, que, a partir da adoção do método de interpretação alegórico-tipológico, demonstra o itinerário da alma para Deus, numa dialética de presença e ausência. Justifica-se o objetivo pela relevância que o pensamento nisseno assume sobre a compreensão mística na vida cristã. Para ascender a esse objetivo, propõe-se uma breve apresentação dos termos fundamentais da mística nissena como: Epéktais, Imagem, Ágape e eros. Em seguida, adentrar-se-á no conteúdo das quinze homilias por meio das quais Nissa comenta o Cântico dos Cânticos. Considerar-se-á o método alegórico-tipológico utilizado por Nissa, bem como a influência alexandrina e, sobretudo, de Orígenes na interpretação nissena. Por fim, analisar-se-á como se evidencia o descentrar-se humano numa dimensão kenótica no Cântico dos Cânticos.

Sistem kekerabatan dan pelapisan sosial (stratifikasi sosial) mempengaruhi politik di Kabupaten Bone. Keturunan Arung (bangsawan) masih banyak memiliki peranan penting dalam struktur pemerintahan di Bone, hal ini salah satunya didukung oleh masyarakat Bone yang masih percaya jika dipimpin oleh kepala daerah yang bergelar Arung. Selain itu struktur pemerintahan juga dikuasai oleh kerabat dari Pemimpin daerah hal ini dikarenakan oleh sistem pemerintahan otonomi daerah membuat kekuasan dipegang penuh oleh Bupati. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kota Bone, Sulawesi Selatan dengan Informan sebanyak 17 orang yang terdiritokoh masyarakat dan tokoh agama, masyarakat Bone dan orang-orang yang memiliki pengalaman dibidang Politik/Pemerintahan seperti Anggota DPRD, Pegawai Negeri Sipil, Tim sukses partai politik dan Pejabat Daerah Bone.Adapun metode yang digunakan adalahwawancara mendalam (indepth interview), pengamatan (Observasi) dan analisis dokumen. Penelitian dilakukan di Kota Kabupaten Bone Sulawesi Selatan. Warisan budaya politik pada era kerajaan, masih berdampak dalam perilaku politik dewasa ini, namun pemaknaannya sudah berbeda dimana pada masa kerajaan masih murni memelihara kejujuran dalam menjalankan pemerintahannya. Beda halnya dengan saat ini dimana masa sekarang memanfaatkan lapisan sosial (Arung) dan sisitem kekerabatan tersebut sebagai strategi pemenangan pemilihan kekuasaan yang sistem pemerintahannya berkesan lambat. Dengan otonomi daerah banyak menimbulakan kasus-kasus dipemerintahan dikarenakan orientasi kepentingan pemimpin didukung oleh sistem kekerabatan yang tidak sesuai lagi dengan sistem nilai budaya, dimana motto masyarakat bone Lempu’ : bersikap jujur, Getteng : istiqamah dan ada tongeng : berkata benar.

Authors: Francisco Carrera Francisco José
Published: January 2020

El presente artículo pretende partir del análisis del concepto de distopía y, más concretamente, del estudio de relato corto de Ray Bradbury “There will Come Soft Rains” para después indagar en sus posibilidades didácticas. Nos centraremos en estudiar el relato como manera de implementar una batería mínima de actividades relacionadas, por una  parte, con la didáctica de la lengua y la literatura inglesa y,  por otra, con lo que denominaremos como didáctica de la contención y la creatividad. Por último queremos también reflexionar en cómo las obras de carácter distópico son un buen material primario para nuestras asignaturas de lengua inglesa si bien adaptando los contenidos al nivel al que nos enfrentemos.
mundos raros de Juan José Millás
Authors: Rojas Yedra Rubén
Published: January 2020

La actual narrativa de Millás incorpora aspectos de la estética cibercultural: espacios y lenguajes procedentes de la ciencia y las nuevas tecnologías audiovisuales que han dado lugar a las nuevas realidades-simulacro. Del surrealismo pasará al hiperrealismo artístico, la perspectiva pictórica y fotográfica o el simulacro televisivo. El resultado es una narrativa muy marcada por la imagen. La aparición de Internet proporcionó a Millás otro espacio para la creación y para la imitación del mundo real, garantizando la dimensión fantástica de sus narraciones. El presente artículo analiza la realidad simulada y global a la que se adhiere Millás, aunque con reservas.

Authors: Lubis Zaned Zihan Sosa Elsera , Nur M. , Sanusi Sanusi
Published: January 2020

Letter of Credit is one of the payment instruments in international business transactions. Based on the agreement to issue a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit is issued by the issuing bank at the request of the applicant as the importer. The Letter of Credit agreement that is used by banks, in general, is a standard agreement that the clause has been prepared in advance by the bank. The imbalance in the standard agreement can be used by parties whose bargaining position is stronger to abuse the situation. The purpose of this study is to analyze national law and international law related to the issuance of the Letter of Credit. The next objective is to analyze the application of the principle of balance in the agreement to issue the Letter of Credit as an international business transaction. The type of research used is normative legal research using a statutory approach, the sources of legal materials used based on library research are analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study revealed that whether the principle of balance in the Letter of Credit issuance agreement had been realized in the practice of international business transactions.

Authors: O'Dea Morgan , Harris Jeffrey
Published: January 2020

This paper reviews current teacher training practices and importance for post-secondary students. Specifically, the role of teaching assistants in tutorial settings are examined and how they impact student learning in an engineering program. Using Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy and the reflective practitioner model, a TA mentorship pilot was developed and run during the 2018-2019 school year at York University. Results showed that participants were more confident managing their classrooms, guiding students through more difficult tasks, as well as felt more confident that their students would be successful in their tutorial setting.
AN INTEGRATIVE PROJECT IN MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACES
Authors: Giannikouris Allyson , Rennick Chris
Published: January 2020

In the third-year microprocessors course given to Mechatronics Engineering students at the University of Waterloo, the lab studies have been redesigned as a scaffolded project. The project aims to provide a more authentic learning opportunity that integrates concepts from the concurrent courses, as well as prior courses. The project was carefully designed to provide some student autonomy while ensuring competence can be achieved by students with a broad range of initial skill levels through the completion of authentic tasks. The impacts of the revised project on student learning were measured using pre- and postproject surveys, course grades and course critiques.  Despite significant challenges that were encountered during the first two offerings, the results show that students perceived an increased competence in several key skills, and an increase was seen in overall course satisfaction.
STUDENT SUBMISSION PATTERNS IN ONLINE HOMEWORK AND RELATIONSHIPS TO LEARNING OUTCOMES: A PILOT STUDY

Published: January 2020

Online homework systems are being increasingly used for auto-graded, instant feedback homework and practice for students in math, science and engineering. Students may use these systems, which often allow multiple or unlimited tries, in ways that are different from completing traditional paper-based homework, however research relating online homework system patterns of usage and learning outcomes is limited. This study explores online homework submission patterns and their links to student learning outcomes (weighted individual grades) by analyzing the submission patterns of two second-year engineering courses (~130 students each) from our institution over the 2017-2018 academic year using WeBWorK, an open online homework platform.

Students in each of the two courses were clustered into three groups using a K-means algorithm based on when during the homework period they tended to submit attempts. Clusters were used to approximately represent a submission pattern, meaning groups of students that submit attempts mostly early, mostly late, or more evenly over the period. Conducting one-way ANOVAs for each course, we found that there is a significant difference between clusters (submission patterns) in terms of mean individual weighted grades on tests and exams (p < 1.07e-08, p < 2.68e-5). Post-hoc analyses revealed that the best performing cluster (students who submit attempts mostly early) had a mean tests/exams grades that were about 10% higher than worst performing cluster (students who submit attempts mostly late) (p < 2.6e-06, p < 9.9e-05).
TRANSLATING PROBLEM STATEMENTS INTO ACTIONABLE SOLUTION PROCEDURE: DEVELOPING PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING SECOND-YEAR STUDENTS
Authors: Meunier Louise , Hudon Nicolas
Published: January 2020

Junior-level chemical engineering students often struggle with solving problems in fundamental undergraduate courses. This deficiency is generally attributed, by instructors and students alike, to gaps in mathematical knowledge. However, the difficulty may instead be rooted in an inability to interpret the information from problem statements. In this contribution, a coordinated, multi-faceted instruction methodology is proposed, over a sequence of second-year chemical engineering fundamental courses, to foster the development of problem-solving strategies and to increase the confidence of students in their abilities to decipher problem data, to develop a proper mathematical framework, and to apply a first-principle approach to problem solving. Compared with traditional lectures alone, obstacles to problem solving may be overcome when students are offered additional learning streams in the form of interactive workshops and video-recorded examples. This results in raised confidence levels toward translating problems into actionable solution procedure.
TEACHING ASSISTANT TRAINING IN ENGINEERING DESIGN
Authors: Boudreau Justine , Anis Hanan
Published: January 2020

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Ottawa is home to multiple rapid prototyping facilities and entrepreneurship spaces. These include a makerspace, a machine shop and a design space for any student to use free of charge. First- and second-year students also take courses in the Makerlab, a sister facility to the Makerspace, that introduces them to collaborative project-based learning, engineering problem-solving and prototyping in a cornerstone design course. Each three-hour weekly lab has a teaching assistant (TA), typically a graduate student, and a project manager (PM), typically an undergraduate student who has taken the course previously. They are responsible for teaching the lab content and guiding the students through their design process. Since design courses are weighted heavily toward projects and labs, this evidence-based practice paper is part of a study that has the goal of understanding, via student evaluations, the impact of TA and PM training on their performance. This paper presents an analysis of the impact of TA and PM training, based on the students’ evaluation of their TA’s and PM’s performance. Factors considered were the amount of training received by the TAs and PMs, the type of training and the satisfaction of the students. The students were surveyed to gauge their satisfaction with the quality of their TAs and PMs, and the survey results were compared with a number of outcomes.
INSTILLING ENGINEERING STUDENTS WITH SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: TECHNOLOGICAL STEWARDSHIP
Authors: Tarnai-Lokhorst Katherina V.
Published: January 2020

Stewards of the implementation of technology in society, engineers regularly balance innovative design with their primary mandate: protection of the public interest. As technological stewardship achieves higher priorities within the requirements of engineering education, students must learn to acknowledge their obligation to society by deeply reflecting on the ethical implications of engineering design. Mech410T– Engineering in Society: Technological Stewardship is a new, fully-online course that guides students through a comprehensive assessment of this obligation using case study analyses, small group discussions, and team-based, project-based learning. The module activities consist of assigned readings; video recordings of the topic overview and a series of interviews with key partners within the engineering community, including practitioners, stakeholders and regulators; module quizzes; discussion posts; and a term paper, researched and written as a team.
ACTIVE LEARNING IN A SECOND YEAR SURVEYING COURSE
Authors: Rangelova Elena , Cao Sheng Lun
Published: January 2020

As a course that develops both cognitive and psychomotor skills of geomatics engineering students, the second-year surveying course at the University of Calgary has been re-designed to include more active, constructive and interactive learning experiences. Classroom activities have been designed around the idea that a balance between the four levels of learning in the ICAP (interactive-constructive-active-passive) framework should be achieved. Passive learning is acceptable because it provides students with time to accumulate knowledge and overcome their initial uncertainty in the surveying classroom. Eventually, their learning undergoes transformation most notably during the interactive team-based field labs.

An observation protocol has been designed, which, in addition to mapping student learning, assesses the teaching and learning environment and specifically its student cognitive and behavioural engagement aspects. The provisional results in winter 2019 confirmed that the geomatics engineering students were more engaged in the learning process as the time spent practicing active and constructive learning accounted for 78% of the class time in three observed lectures.

The contribution of morphine sulfate to the development of necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants: a matched casecontrol study
Authors: Zvizdic Zlatan , Milisic Emir , Jonuzi Asmir , Terzic Sabina , Zvizdic Denisa
Published: January 2020

The aim of the study was to determine whether morphine sulfate administration is associated with an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants supported by mechanical ventilation due to respiratory failure. The matched case-control retrospective study was carried out at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the University Clinical Center Sarajevo, on 122 preterm infants classified into total NEC group and control group. The total NEC group was further divided into medical NEC and surgical NEC subgroups. The association between the use and duration of morphine sulfate infusion and the development of NEC was evaluated in both unadjusted and adjusted analysis. Preterm infants who developed NEC were on mechanical ventilation more frequently compared to premature infants without signs of NEC (Mann- Whitney U test; p=0.0031). A positive correlation between the frequency of receiving morphine sulfate and the development of NEC was observed (Chi square test of independence; p=0.0001). The risk of NEC in preterm infants was increased by the use of morphine sulfate. Validation of this observation in other populations is warranted.
Telomere length comparison between oral cells and blood cells among neonates

Published: January 2020

Telomere length, measured from blood cells, is commonly used as the standard telomere length of the whole body. The relationship between blood telomere length and oral telomere length is still unclear, especially among neonates. In this study, we measured blood telomere length as well as cheek cells telomere length to find out the overall telomere synchronization in neonates. Children aged 1 month or younger were included in this study. Blood and cheek cells were collected by heel stick method and nylon brush accordingly. Telomere length was measured by Southern blotting. A strong telomere length correlation (0.77, p < 0.001) existed between oral and blood cells which showing telomere length synchronization among different tissue types. Mean telomere length and length variability were significantly higher (t=3.73, p=0.0004) in oral cells. Longer telomere among oral cells can be justified by progenitor cell pool theory. The cause of high telomere length variability in the oral source is not clear although the presence of leukocytes among cheek cells cannot be excluded. Therefore, for telomere length measurement purpose blood should be given preference over the oral source.

Goodpasture syndrome is a rare, autoimmune disease associated with the development of antibodies against a specific antigen both in glomerular basement membrane and alveolar basement membrane. It is very rare in childhood and its incidence is not known. Although the mechanism of the disease is the same in lung as in the kidney, sometimes it presents with involvement of only one organ. Pulmonary involvement may be lifethreatening in patients with massive hemoptysis. Herein we report a 14-yearold boy with isolated lung involvement. He had massive hemoptysis following bronchoscopy and recovered succesfully with treatment.

Filicide mainly refers to the murder of a child by his/her parents. Even though filicide is a rare event, outcome of filicide is more severe compared to other types of murders. In this report, we aim to discuss the factors in which the case of a woman who attempted to kill her 2.5-year-old daughter along with the demographical characteristics. Twenty-nine-year-old mother attempted to kill her daughter by hanging. Even though the victim did not die as the mother, regretted her action the triggers and the plot of the case discussed within the filicide framework. Therefore, the presented case report would contribute to the understanding of the nature of the filicide, and it might bring a different perspective, because of the different development process of filicide, sharing the disorder and interwoven motivations between the child and mother. In this respect, we aim to draw attention of pediatricians, child psychiatrists and forensic pathologists about the importance of filicide.

The analysis of state management based on system and structural-functional approaches allowed to identify the current needs of its development, and demonstrate that it performs the tasks of control and regulation, including the transformation of inter-ethnic and rural communities in the regions of Siberia. It is revealed that the state ethnic and agrarian policy does not solve the problem of economic and socio-cultural transformations in the life of communities. It is shown that the optimal solution to this problem would be the regulatory impact assessment (RIA), as well as the construction of theoretical models for the practical implementation of state regulation of transformation processes. The structure of the theoretical model of socio-cultural regulation of transforming communities is proposed.
Disposition to Independence from External Circumstances in Greek Philosophy in the Period of early Hellenism
Authors: Brovkin V. V.
Published: January 2020

It is established that the desire for independence from external circumstances is not a common feature for Greek philosophy in the period of early Hellenism. The strengthening of this feature in the early Hellenistic philosophy was associated with the formation of Hellenistic monarchies. Recognition of dependence on external conditions, primarily on politics and friendship, was associated with the preservation of the policy system.

Published: January 2020

The review focuses on describing the specific role of parents in the development of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The main directions of modern research in this field are allocated. Relations of attachment, components of social development in children with ASD and such chsracteristics of parents as sensitivity, responsiveness, insightfulness, synchrony are considered. Features of relationships of parents and childrens emotional regulation, parent emotional co-regulation in children as an important factor of child with ASD development are described. Factors of parental stress and its possible impact on the children development have been analysed. Ideas about the broader phenotype of ASD as a possible cause of some parent features and its impact on children with ASD are given. A conclusion about the promising directions of research in the field under consideration and their practical significance was made.
Competitive Binding of HIF-1α and CITED2 to the TAZ1 Domain of CBP from Molecular Simulations
Authors: Ruiz-Ortiz Irene , De Sancho David
Published: January 2020

Many intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are involved in complex signalling networks inside the cell. Their particular binding modes elicit different types of responses and subtle regulation of biological responses. Here we study the binding of two disordered transactivation domains from proteins HIF-1α and CITED2, whose binding to the TAZ1 domain of CBP is critical for the hypoxic response. Experiments have shown that both IDPs compete for their shared partner, and that this competition is mediated by the formation of a ternary intermediate state. Here we use molecular simulations with a coarse-grained model to provide a glimpse of the structure of this intermediate. We find that the conserved LP(Q/E)L motif may have a critical role in the displacement of HIF-1α by CITED2 and show a possible mechanism for the transition from the intermediate to the bound state. We also explore the role of TAZ1 dynamics in the binding. The results of our simulations are consistent with many of the experimental observations and provide a detailed molecular description of the emergent properties in the complex binding of these IDPs.
Small Molecule-Inducible RNA-Targeting Systems for Temporal Control of RNA Regulation in Vivo
Authors: Rauch Simone , Jones Krysten A. , Dickinson Bryan
Published: January 2020

RNA regulation is critical for gene expression control, but tools to temporally manipulate RNA regulatory mechanisms are lacking. Here, we present small molecule-inducible RNA-targeting effectors based on our previously developed CRISPR/Cas-inspired RNA targeting system (CIRTS), which can trigger RNA editing, degradation, or translation on target transcripts. We go on to show the inducible CIRTS editor can be deployed for RNA base editing in vivo, providing a new set of tools to probe RNA regulatory dynamics and control gene expression.

Voltage sensitive fluorescent dyes (VSDs) are important tools for probing signal transduction in neurons and other excitable cells. These sensors, rendered highly lipophilic to anchor the conjugated pi-wire molecular framework in the membrane, offer several favorable functional parameters including fast response kinetics and high sensitivity to membrane potential changes. The impact of VSDs has, however, been limited due to the lack of cell-specific targeting methods in brain tissue or living animals. We address this key challenge by introducing a non-genetic molecular platform for cell- and molecule-specific targeting of synthetic voltage sensitive dyes in the brain. We employ a dextran polymer particle to overcome the inherent lipophilicity of voltage sensitive dyes by dynamic encapsulation, and high-affinity ligands to target the construct to specific neuronal cells utilizing only native components of the neurotransmission machinery at physiological expression levels. Dichloropane, a monoamine transporter ligand, enables targeting of dense dopaminergic axons in the mouse striatum and sparse noradrenergic axons in the mouse cortex in acute brain slices. PFQX in conjunction with ligand-directed acyl imidazole chemistry enables covalent labeling of AMPA-type glutamate receptors in the same brain regions. Probe variants bearing either a classical electrochromic ANEP dye or state-of-the-art VoltageFluor-type dye respond to membrane potential changes in a similar manner to the parent dyes, as shown by whole-cell patch recording. We demonstrate the feasibility of optical voltage recording with our probes in brain tissue with one-photon and two-photon fluorescence microscopy and define the signal limits of optical voltage imaging with synthetic sensors under a low photon budget determined by the native expression levels of the target proteins. We envision that modularity of our platform will enable its application to a variety of molecular targets and sensors, as well as lipophilic drugs and signaling modulators. This work demonstrates the feasibility of a chemical targeting approach and expands the possibilities of cell-specific imaging and pharmacology.

INTRODUCTION: Gingival and periodontal diseases are still the most common prevalent oral diseases affecting a community/individual people and can lead to irreversible consequences, both local (bone loss, tooth mobility etc. ) and systemic (Cardiac Disease etc.)AIM: To compare the efficacy of NBF gingival gel alone and as an adjunct to conventional therapy in patients with gingivitisMATERIALS AND METHOD: This randomized study design (parallel arm study design) consisted of 7 patients with 21 quadrants and having a score 2 (moderate gingivitis) & 3 (severe gingivitis) based upon the gingival score given by Loe & Silness (1964). All the subjects were evaluated by two parameters i.e. gingival index [Loe & Silness (1964)] and Papillary Bleeding Index [Muhleman (1977)] at baseline and after one month of rendering treatment. Following random allocation (flip of coin), the first Group was given conventional therapy [Scaling and Root Planing(SRP)] followed by NBF gingival gel application, while the 2nd Group was given NBF gel application alone and the 3rd Group was given conventional therapy (SRP) alone. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 19.0 using paired t‑test as well as the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test.RESULTS: After follow up, the highest percentage of mean scores of gingival index decreased among all the groups was seen in group 1 (38.15±5.46), followed by group 3(32.54±7.58) and group 2(18.91±7.62). Similarly, in the Papillary Bleeding Index, the highest percentage reduction was seen in group 1 (82.30±2.39), followed by group 3(53.54±6.02) and group 2(31.71±4.34). All observed values were significant with p≤05.CONCLUSION: NBF gel seems to provide to boost the immunity of the gingiva and periodontium, and when used as an adjunct to conventional therapy (SRP) can benefit the patient immensely.

Membrane lipid peroxidation and DNA, protein damage is mediated by free radicals, which form the basis of chronic pathological complications.AgNPs are an important class of nanomaterials for a wide range of biomedical applications. The present study endeavors in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using medicinal plant extract from Caesalpinia bonducella seeds. Total flavonoid and phenolic contents were determined. The antioxidant potential of capped AgNPs was assessed using DPPH assay, Phosphomolybdenum assay, FRAP assay, metal chelating, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical scavenging methods. In vitro anti-inflammatory assay of CB seed, AgNPs were performed against the standard drug. CB seed AgNPs possessed high flavonoid and phenol compared to aqueous CB seed extract. The antioxidant methods confirmed that the silver nanoparticles have more antioxidant activity as compared to vitamin C. The synthesized silver nanoparticles exhibited potential anti-inflammatory activity with the IC50 71.3µg/ml. Hence, this work clearly demonstrated that the coated AgNPs with CB seeds act as a potent free radical scavenger and could be considered as a potential source for anti-inflammatory drugs.
