How Does Perceived Stress Relate to Life Satisfaction in pre-University Teachers? The Mediating Role of Wellbeing
Authors: Colomeischi Aurora Adina , Ursu Andreea
Published: September 2023

The detrimental effects of stress on life satisfaction in general population are well known. However, the associations between these variables and their underlying mechanisms scarce among teachers. Therefore, it was investigated the possible mediating effect of wellbeing on the link between pre-university Romanian teachers’ perceived stress and their life satisfaction. Participants included 1390 teachers (mean age = 38.76, ± SD = 10.08; 72% female) filled out measures of perceived stress, wellbeing and life satisfaction on-line. The results suggest that perceived stress had significant negative associations with all three dimensions of wellbeing and life satisfaction. Furthermore, all three dimensions of wellbeing (emotional wellbeing, social wellbeing, psychological wellbeing) were significantly positively associated with teachers' life satisfaction. Additionally, all wellbeing dimensions mediated the negative effect of perceived stress on life satisfaction. Overall, the results from this study indicate that all three dimensions of wellbeing are an important protector factor that could help us to comprehend the negative effect of teachers’ perceived stress on their life satisfaction.

Authors: Szabo Dan Alexandru , Neagu Nicolae , Ilyés Paula , Banceu Cosmin , Banceu Diana , Oprean Marvin , Teodorescu Silvia
Published: September 2023

Background. An individual's ankle range of motion varies dependent on their ADLs, geographic region, and amount of physical activity. Walking, which takes 30 degrees of movement, and descending stairs, which requires 57 degrees, do not need a large ROM.
Hypothesis. We hypothesised that a floss band (F.B.) placed on the ankle joint of football players of any age in conjunction with a kinetic prophylactic exercise program would enhance range of motion (ROM) and dynamic balance to a higher degree than a simple kinetic prophylactic exercise program (without F.B. application).
Aims. This study aims to examine the impact of a floss band on the range of motion (ROM) and dynamic balance at the ankle joint, measure the ankle joint mobility and balance of football players, and maybe identify individuals susceptible to injury.
Methods. The current study comprised 18 participants (mean age = 19.77 years) who were all football players from the academy and club of FK Cskszereda Miercurea Ciuc. The participants were evenly split into two groups: an experimental group and a control group.
Results. Based on the data retrieved from this research, we can conclude that Floss Band treatment combined with exercise improves range of motion and dynamic balance, although not statistically significant on the majority of criteria.
Conclusions. When paired with a kinetic training program, the floss band kinetic prophylactic approach significantly improves range of motion and dynamic balance, hence contributing to injury prevention.

Historie alternatywne i steampunk w literaturze. Archipelagi badawczo-interpretacyjne
Authors: Lemann Natalia
Published: September 2023

Publikacja poświęcona jest historiom alternatywnym i steampunkowi – dwóm istotnym gatunkom literatury fantastycznej, które budują światy powieściowe wokół odpowiedzi na pytanie „Co by było, gdyby…?”. Autorka prezentuje poetykę obu tych gatunków, a także poddaje je wieloaspektowej analizie kulturowej. Historie alternatywne i steampunk są ściśle związane z historią, stanowią istotne, choć przewrotne, medium pamięci kulturowej – czytelnik znajdzie więc w książce omówienie relacji między kontrfaktualizmem historycznym a jego literacką odmianą w historiach alternatywnych. Z analizowanych przez autorkę powieści (nie tylko polskich) wyłania się dyskusja na temat kształtu pamięci kulturowej i narodowej, alternatywnej historii literatury i religii, wizji (nie)istniejących miast i metropolii oraz autobiografizmu kontrfaktycznego. Wielość stosowanych ujęć badawczych, interdyscyplinarny, komparatystyczny i analityczny charakter publikacji sygnalizuje użyta w podtytule formuła „archipelagu”.
W cieniu ojca. Awangarda prozatorska lat 30. XX wieku. Rudnicki, Napierski, Schulz, Tarn
Authors: Wasąg Magdalena
Published: September 2023

Adolf Rudnicki, Stefan Napierski, Bruno Schulz, and Adam Tarn debuted as authors of prose in the 1930s. In their works they all took the complex subject of the father’s image. Interwar literary critique included these debuts in avant-garde literature, which was strongly influenced by Sigmund Freud’s concept of psychoanalysis and Ulysses by James Joyce. The psychologism that was noticed in Rudnicki’s Rats, in Napierski’s Conversation with the Shadow in Schulz’s stories, and in Tarn’s The image of the father in four frames was criticized at that time. Today, the interpretation of these avant-garde prose projects allows us to see their more general, intention. This monograph significantly reinterprets avant-garde projects which were distinguished by their innovative language and narrative forms. In historical and literary terms, it aims to show a more faithful, multifaceted image of the interwar period, in which in addition to “traditional literature” there will be space for a novel experiment. Until now, the relationship between the works of Rudnicki, Napierski, Schulz and Tarn has not been noticed and it is in the works of these writers of Jewish origin that the ideas about the father, refer to tradition. The prose debuts of Rudnicki, Napierski, Schulz and Tarn have become a kind of timeless question: Will avant-garde literary projects create a new man, a son not burdened by the “father’s shadow”, by a “blemish” of his origins. In the interwar period, for Jewish writers, this was a particularly important question, and it affects every text interpreted in this monograph to varying degrees.

Authors: Torres Villafane Jessica Miriam
Published: September 2023

El presente trabajo pretende discutir la formación de identidades en el departamento de Áncash, basado en la investigación narrativa de dos familias que viven en la ciudad de Huaraz, los progenitores son Hirka y Quyllur. Ambos han enfrentado las mismas influencias externas pero han optado por construcciones identitarias diferentes. La investigación narrativa emplea tres dimensiones: interacción, continuidad y situación. El análisis de datos se basó en la composición de sentidos y la perspectiva interpretativa de las experiencias, que consta de organizar significados a partir de los datos y de un proceso reflexivo por parte del investigador, y la presentación de los avances del trabajo a un grupo de apoyo1 para la discusión, revisión y ajuste de la información obtenida. A partir del análisis de las experiencias, podemos concluir que Hirka representa la resistencia cultural y Quyllur la asimilación cultural. El primero considera que sus prácticas culturales han sido heredadas de sus ancestros; en cambio, Quyllur no tiene esta conciencia intergeneracional.

Authors: Vijayan Megha , Umapathy G. , Srinivasan M.R. , Uma D. , Kannan M. , Balasubramani V.
Published: September 2023

Background: Honey bees are one of the most important and efficient insect pollinators of food crops on earth providing honey, bee wax, bee pollen, royal jelly, propolis, etc. Varroa destructor is the most obnoxious pest of honey bees infliciting damage to the colony vis-à-vis transmitting viral diseases. The repeated use of synthetic acaricidal treatment results in developing resistance against varroa mite followed by residue hazards in bee products. This leads to an urgent need to develop alternate eco-friendly methods to manage the pest. Methods: The experiment was designed to evaluate the relative efficiency of six botanical extracts viz. Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), Coleus (Coleus aromaticus), Sweet flag (Acorus calamus L.), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum L.) and Goat weed (Ageratun conezoides L.) against Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) under laboratory conditions. After preliminary dose-setting experiments, mites and honeybees were exposed to 2% ethanol extracts of the plants, with 24 hours’ exposure time. Result: 2% concentration of Coleus, Sweet flag and Tulsi registered cent percent mortality of mites within 24 hours after treatment followed by Turmeric (93.33%), Sweet basil (86.67%) and Goat weed (80%). All the extracts exhibited less than 30% mortality of honey bees (Apis cerana indica) whereas turmeric showed the lowest efficiency (14.29%).

Random forests in the zero to k inflated Power series populations
Authors: Saboori Hadi , Doostparast Mahdi
Published: September 2023

Tree-based algorithms are a class of useful, versatile, and popular tools in data mining and machine learning.Indeed, tree aggregation methods, such as random forests, are among the most powerful approaches to boostthe performance of predictions. In this article, we apply tree-based methods to model and predict discretedata, using a highly flexible model. Inflation may occur in discrete data at some points. Inflation can beat points as zero, one or the other. We may even have inflation at two points or more. We use models forinflated data sets based on a common discrete family (the Power series models). The Power series modelsare one of the most famous families used in such models. This family includes common discrete models suchas the Poisson, Negative Binomial, Multinomial, and Logarithmic series models.The main idea of this article is to use zero to k (k = 0, 1, . . .) inflated regression models based on the familyof power series to fit decision regression trees and random forests. An important point of these models isthat they can be used not only for inflated discrete data but also for non-inflated discrete data. Indeed thismodel can be used for a wide range of discrete data sets.

However, the academic, social and economic environments have never been so inviting, to the actions effectively undertaken and, therefore, so promising, as in our days, notably in the basic sciences. The literature in this area has been presenting analytical and critical contributions, which support the state of the art of this knowledge. Thus, they highlight their possibilities for promotion, as well as providing results that are more compatible with the social, human and economic needs of the people (Odell, Dyer Klett (2023).
As armadilhas do Licenciamento Ambiental em Terras Indígenas
Authors: Silva Julianne Holder da Câmara
Published: September 2023

No Brasil, há uma contumaz inobservância dos direitos oficialmente reconhecidos aos povos indígenas, tanto os constitucionalmente inscritos como os provenientes de compromissos internacionais assumidos. Em consequência, há uma crescente judicialização de demandas questionando a validade do licenciamento ambiental de empreendimentos que vêm se instalando nas Terras Indígenas do País. Estas ações acabam derrotadas por estratégias e mecanismos processuais do governo que possibilitam a continuidade das obras e atividades. Assim, projetos econômicos se transformam em realidade, restando aos povos indígenas um rastro de danos irreversíveis. O presente artigo questiona a validade de grande parte das licenças ambientais deferidas em Terras Indígenas no Brasil, ou o que as impactam diretamente, utilizando como fio condutor a perspectiva estabelecida internacionalmente para um adequado procedimento de licenciamento ambiental em terras vulneráveis, sobretudo a partir da jurisprudência do Sistema  Interamericano de Direitos Humanos. Metodologicamente utilizou-se pesquisa exploratória e explicativa, técnica bibliográfica-documental e abordagem hipotético-dedutiva.

Le dispositif de compagnonnage porte sur l’accompagnement entre pairs enseignants. Mis en place à la rentrée 2021-2022, ce projet a permis de mettre en lumière la pluralité des modalités d’accompagnements tant « individuelles » que « collectives ». Cet article porte sur quatre d’entre elles qui semblent relativement aisément reproductibles dès lors que l’enseignant désire s’engager dans ce processus et que l’établissement soutien le développement de ces initiatives. Ainsi, les témoignages porteront sur un atelier d’échange de pratique, un soutien à toute une équipe pédagogique afin d’initier un changement global après avoir soi-même testé les transformations dans son enseignement, une collaboration entre un enseignant compagnon et un ingénieur pédagogique et enfin un webinaire.

Dans le cadre du programme « Nouveaux cursus à l’université » (NCU) et en lien avec la loi 2018-166 du 8 mars 2018 relative à l’orientation et à la réussite des étudiant·e·s. deux projets de parcours personnalisés ont été élaborés au sein du collège sciences de l’homme de l’université de Bordeaux (FaME et PFA).  FaME et PFA sont proposés de manière transverses à plusieurs licences ce qui en fait la particularité et qui requestionne l’organisation classique de curriculum disciplinaire, chaque licence étant organisée indépendemment les unes des autres. La mise en œuvre et le suivi de ces projets a mis en évidence l’importance d’avoir un profil de coordination mêlant des compétences pédagogiques, administratives et scientifiques mais aussi d’agilité dans l’environnement complexe que représente l’université pour permettre la transversalité du suivi de la formation. Il ne s’agit donc ni réellement d’un enseignant-chercheur, ni d’un personnel administratif, ni d’un ingénieur de formation mais d’un acteur pouvant être à l’interface de toutes ces dimensions et au service de l’accompagnement d’une cohorte d’étudiant.es inscrit.es dans un parcours personnalisé. Nous osons parler de l’émergence du métier de « coordinateur·trice pédagogique enseignant·e » (CoPEn).

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater streams: occurrence and current treatment
Authors: Daniel Tang Kuok Ho
Published: September 2023

PFAS are a growing environmental concern due to their persistence and universality. PFAS enter the environment through multiple channels, one of which is wastewater. This study comprehensively presents PFAS in wastewater streams from point- and non-point sources, and discusses the variability. 55 papers have been included in this review. This review highlights a high variability of total PFAS in WWTP effluents with concentrations ranging from 16.8 ng/L to 11,870 ng/L depending on the number of PFAS tested, the types of industries the WWTPs served, the effluent treatment processes used, and if the influents are contaminated by aqueous film forming foam. DWTP effluents generally have significantly lower PFAS due to cleaner influents. Often, effluents contain more PFAS than influents because of the degradation of PFAA precursors. Landfill leachate contains comparatively more PFAS (as high as 291,700 ng/L) and the factors affecting their levels are the types and volumes of waste received, and leachate treatment used. Membrane treatment reduces PFAS in leachate significantly, but they are retained in the concentrate, which sometimes contains higher total PFAS concentrations than untreated leachate. PFAS in the concentrate of membrane treatment can be removed with advanced technologies such as activated carbon, ion exchange resins and electrochemical treatment. Non-point sources of PFAS comprise mainly runoffs and stormwater. Landfills without leachate collection and treatment systems constitute a non-point source of PFAS. Actual firefighting and firefighting training are important non-point sources of PFAS contributing up to 51.4 mg/L of PFAS in groundwater. PFAS from non-point sources are currently understudied.

Authors: Visciano Pierina
Published: September 2023

Fish and fish products are very appreciated in the human diet because of high quality proteins and other important nutrients, such as minerals and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Maintaining freshness, quality and safety is essential in the fish supply chain, starting from on board vessels where the product must be carefully checked and protected from any source of contamination. Safe fishing and handling of fish are very important to reduce the risk of foodborne diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella spp., Vibrio spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum type E, viruses, and parasites. The inspection of raw material, use of good quality ice and water, high standards of personnel hygiene and cleanliness of equipment and fa-cilities as well as proper storage temperature are the most effective measures to ensure safety of fish and fish products for consumers. This review describes the good hygiene practice to be ap-plied on ships to preserve both fish products and public health.

Neutropenia in Childhood. A Narrative Review and Practical Diagnostic Approach
Authors: Katsaras Georgios , Koutsi Silouani , Psaroulaki Evdokia , Gouni Dimitra , Tsitsani Pelagia
Published: September 2023

Neutropenia refers to a decrease in the absolute neutrophil count according to age and race norms and poses a common concern in pediatric practice. Neutrophils serve as host defenders and act crucially in acute inflammation procedures. In this narrative review we systematically present causes of neutropenia in childhood mainly adopting the pathophysiological classification of Frater, thereby studying: (1) neutropenia with reduced bone marrow reserve, (2) secondary neutropenia with reduced bone marrow reserve, and (3) neutropenia with normal bone marrow reserve. Different conditions in each category are thoroughly discussed and practically approached from the clinician point of view. Secondary mild to moderate neutropenia is usually benign due to childhood viral infections and is expected to resolve in 2- 4 weeks. Bacterial and fungal agents are also associated with transient neutropenia although fever with severe neutropenia constitutes a medical emergency. Drug-induced and immune neutropenias should be suspected following a careful history and a detailed clinical examination. Cytotoxic chemotherapies treating malignancies are responsible for severe neutropenia and neutropenic shock. Rare genetic neutropenias usually manifest with major infections early in life. Our review taxonomies clinical findings and associates them to specific neutropenia disorders. We consequently propose a practical diagnostic algorithm for managing neutropenic children.
Two-Step Chemo-Microbial Degradation of Post-Consumer Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) Plastic Enabled by a Biomass-Waste Catalyst
Authors: Shingwekar Deepika , Laster Helen , Kemp Hannah , Mellies Jay
Published: September 2023

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) pollution poses significant environmental consequences, and thus new degradation methods must be explored to mitigate this problem. We previously demonstrated that a consortium of three Pseudomonas and two Bacillus species can synergistically degrade PET in culture. The consortium more readily consumes Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), a byproduct made in PET depolymerization, compared to PET, and can fully convert BHET into metabolically usable monomers terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG). Because of its crystalline structure, the main limitation of the biodegradation of post-consumer PET is the initial transesterification from PET to BHET, depicting the need for the transesterification step in the degradation process. Additionally, there have been numerous studies done on the depolymerization reaction of PET to BHET, yet few have tested the biocompatibility of that product with a bacterial consortium. In this report, a two-step process was implemented for sustainable PET biodegradation, where PET is first depolymerized to form BHET using an Orange Peel Ash (OPA) catalyzed glycolysis reaction, followed by complete degradation of the BHET glycolysis product by the bacterial consortium. Results show that OPA-catalyzed glycolysis reactions can fully depolymerize PET, with an average BHET yield of 92% (w/w) and that the reaction product is biocompatible with the bacterial consortium. After inoculation with the consortium, 19% degradation of the glycolysis product was observed in 2 weeks, for a total degradation percentage of 17% when taking both steps into account. Furthermore, the 10-week total BHET degradation rate was 35%, demonstrating that the glycolysis products are biocompatible with the consortium for longer periods of time, for a total two-step degradation rate of 33% over 10 weeks. While we predict complete degradation is achievable using this method, further experimentation with the consortium can allow for a circular recycling process, where TPA can be recovered from culture media and reused to create new materials.
A Study of Depth of Cut and Wear in Precision Grinding of CVD-SiC
Authors: Ji Fengmin , Imai Kentaro , Lin Weimin
Published: September 2023

In this study, the effects of critical depth of cut and wheel wear were investigated to realize efficient precision grinding of CVD-SiC by ductile mode grinding at low cost. To compare the results under experimental conditions, Vickers indentation tests and grinding experiments were conducted. As a result of the Vickers indentation test at an applied load of 0.015 N, the minimum indentation load in this study, the indentation depth was 1.3 μm, and cracks were observed at the corners of the indentation isotropically. Additionally, the pile-up was observed around the indentation, suggesting that plastic deformation due to shear flow was relatively large. Grinding experiments were conducted using grinding wheels with different grain sizes. All the grinding conditions in this study resulted in a surface with a mixture of brittle and ductile modes. The proportion of ductile modes was larger, and the surface roughness Ra was smaller when a grindstone with a smaller grain size was used. Additionally, the effect of wear was investigated. As wear progressed, the number of protruding grains decreased, resulting in a smaller surface roughness. These results indicate that the amount of protruding abrasive grains must be controlled to achieve stable ductile mode grinding.
The Olfactory System: Basic Anatomy and Physiology for General Otorhinolaryngologists
Authors: Han Sun A , Kim Jin Kook , Cho Do-Yeon , Patel Zara M. , Rhee Chae-Seo
Published: September 2023

Olfaction is one of the five basic human senses, and it is known to be one of the most primitive senses. The sense of olfaction may have been critical for human survival in prehistoric society, and although many believe its importance has diminished over time, it continues to have an impact on human interaction, bonding, and propagation of the species. Even if we are unaware of it, the sense of smell greatly affects our lives and is closely related to overall quality of life and health. Nonetheless, olfaction has been neglected from a scientific perspective compared to other senses. However, olfaction has recently received substantial attention since the loss of smell and taste has been noted as a key symptom of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Studies investigating olfaction loss in association with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have revealed that olfactory dysfunction can be both conductive and sensorineural, possibly causing structural changes in the brain. Olfactory training is an effective treatment for olfactory dysfunction, suggesting the reorganization of neural associations. A reduced ability to smell may also alert suspicion for neurodegenerative or psychiatric disorders. Here, we summarize the basic knowledge that we, as otorhinolaryngologists, should have about the sense of smell and the peripheral and central olfactory pathways for managing and helping patients with olfactory dysfunction.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypical multiorgan autoimmune disease with a fluctuating and chronic disease course. As an emerging disease in this century, SLE will burden stakeholders and the country. This study was conducted to determine the prognostic factors for SLE worsening, especially in ambulatory patients. This ambispective study used logistic regression to view the risk factors for worsening SLE in patients. Anemia, age, body mass index, education level, employment status, marital status, hydroxychloroquine, and immunosuppressants were the independent variables in this study. This study concludes that anemia is statistically significant and, therefore, a risk factor for worsening SLE in patients (RR = 5.31; p-value<0.005), while age, body mass index, education level, employment status, marital status, hydroxychloroquine, and immunosuppressants are not statistically significant.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the workload for nurses directly handling COVID-19 patients and those working in non-COVID-19 zones. As the number of COVID-19 cases rises, nurses face psychological problems, including stress. This study aimed to determine the relationship between workload and stress levels in a non-COVID-19 zoning ward using a cross-sectional approach and Spearman’s correlation test conducted on 94 nurses at one hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia, selected through simple random sampling. The workload questionnaire with 15 items and the DASS 42 questionnaire were used to measure stress levels. The results indicated that most nurses (73.4%) experienced a heavy workload. Regarding stress levels, most nurses (66%) reported severe stress, while a small number experienced mild (2.1%) and moderate stress (2.1%). The Spearman’s test revealed a significant relationship between workload and stress levels in the non-COVID-19 zoning ward (p-value = 0.001). Based on these findings, hospitals are urged to effectively manage nurses’ workload during the COVID-19 pandemic and implement specific interventions for nurses experiencing occupational stress.

Breast cancer is still one of the leading causes of death in Indonesia. The multifactorial causes of breast cancer, including heredity, carries a risk for the sufferers’ relatives. Vigilance in female relatives of breast cancer patients increases due to hereditary risk factors for having the same disease. This anthropological study aimed to reveal the mosaic of breast cancer patients’ female relatives’ knowledge of such a risk and their efforts to prevent it. Qualitative data collection through interviews was conducted with 13 female family members of breast cancer patients in Yogyakarta aged 17-65 years. The data analysis was done through an emic approach by examining the informants’ views on the situation and their solutions. All of the informants believed that breast cancer is a malignant and deadly disease if it is not detected early and not properly treated. They were all fully aware of their risk as a family member to have the same disease. Their preventive measures included medical (early examination, breast self-examination, laboratory check, or consultation with the doctor) and non-medical (changes in eating and drinking behavior, reducing stress, exercising, and wearing masks). Besides, they also made religious efforts by praying to God to be given a healthy life and for the patients to be healed and their offspring to be free from this disease.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has presented humanity with difficult and unforeseeable hurdles. Among these challenges is understanding how climate-related aspects impact the survival of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall, and the spread of COVID-19 cases in different regions. A time-and-place-based ecological study design was adopted, integrating geographic information systems and statistical techniques. Statistical testing revealed a significant association between humidity (p-value = 0.000; r = -0.777) and rainfall (p-value = 0.001; r = -0.561) with COVID-19 instances. However, no statistically significant relationship was found between temperature variables and COVID-19 cases. Due to the impact of changing weather conditions, governments may become concerned about developing tailored preventive and control measures, considering the varying risk levels associated with different locations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various sectors and may trigger a decrease in quality of life (QoL), so resilience is urgently needed. This study aimed to analyze the role of resilience in the QoL of individuals during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in East Jakarta, Indonesia. An explanatory sequential mixed methods study was conducted with a cross-sectional design. The QoL was measured using the Indonesian-HRQoL on 300 respondents through multistage cluster sampling. The explanatory qualitative approach involved Focus Group Discussions and in-depth interviews. A Cox regression was used to analyze the quantitative data. The proportion of poor QoL was 26.30%. Poor resilience (individual, family, and community) contributed to poor QoL during the pandemic. Realistic perceptions determined the role of individual resilience in QoL concerning gratitude, sincerity, patience, mutual reinforcement, accepting circumstances, implementing health protocols, cognitive emotion regulation, adaptability, and optimism. The age of family decision-makers, social support, and self-control determined the role of individual resilience in QoL. The role of community resilience in mental-emotional disorders and QoL was determined by the stability of the education system, health system, political/government system, and pandemic management system.

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed physicians to modify conventional practices to reduce the exposure and risk of infection among patients and health workers. Telemedicine is one of the safest methods, and telerehabilitation could prevent the sequelae of COVID-19. A quasi-experimental study with randomized sampling without masking/blinding was conducted. The study was conducted from August 2021 to March 2022 at Hospital A in Pekanbaru, Hospital B in Jayapura, and Hospital C in Jakarta, Indonesia. A total of 27 patients were recruited and divided into control and intervention groups. The control group was given conventional education on therapeutic exercise at home, while the intervention group was shown educational videos about therapeutic exercise at home. The comparison of all functional outcomes between the two groups after the intervention showed a significant difference. The intervention group improved more than the control group, except for the fatigue severity scale. Most of the responses showed that this video was feasible and useful and did not need to be supervised by health workers. Therapeutic exercise educational videos can be an option to deliver rehabilitation programs for post-COVID-19 hospitalized patients.

COVID-19 became a pandemic because of its high-speed transmission via salivary and airborne droplet routes. Viruses can enter host cells through ACE-2 receptors in various human organs, including the oral cavity. The oral manifestations that arise include white plaque, ulceration, burning sensation, oral mucositis, depapillation of the tongue, dry mouth, halitosis, and loss of the sense of taste. Poor oral hygiene, comorbidities, decreased immunity, and stress can exacerbate these manifestations. This review study aimed to report various oral manifestations of COVID-19 related to oral hygiene. Relevant articles were identified from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Elsevier, and Google Scholar. Out of the 60 articles selected, only 36 could be reviewed. The World Health Organization recommends early detection for individuals with suspected exposure to the COVID-19 virus to control its spread, including checking for oral manifestations. Oral hygiene is an important factor affecting the manifestations of the oral cavity of COVID-19 patients, so examination of the condition of oral hygiene is recommended in the medical management of COVID-19 patients. To conclude, oral hygiene is related to the emergence of oral manifestation in COVID-19-infected patients.
