Authors: Upadhyay S. , Mathur V. P. , Dhillon J. K. , Poudyal S.
Published: November 2022

Background Early childhood caries (ECC) in preschool children debilitate their quality of life affecting oral function, appearance and social well-being. A tool for measuring oral health-related quality of life for preschoolers may help in making clinical decisions and assist policy makers in planning and management of health programs in the country.

Objective To translate oral health-related early childhood quality of life (OH-ECQoL) tool into Nepali language and test its validity and reliability.

Method OH-ECQoL was translated into Nepali language by two Nepalese professional translators which was back translated by professional English translator. This was sent to three independent advisors to see the appropriateness of translation. Pilot testing was done in 20 parents and questionnaire was finalized after needed corrections. Final version was introduced to the 118 parents of children aged 24- 71 months. Caries status was recorded for all children participating in the study. Concurrent, construct, discriminant validity and internal consistency reliability, test -retest reliability were evaluated.

Result OH-ECQoL scores and perception of parents for general and oral health of their children was significant (at 0.01 level). There was significant difference in OH-ECQoL scores between no ECC and severe ECC groups and moderate and severe ECC groups (at 0.05 level). There was also a significant correlation between child impact section and family impact section (at 0.01 level). Cronbach’s alpha was 0.891 demonstrating good internal consistency. Intra class coefficient was 0.963 suggesting excellent test-retest reliability. Ninety-one (77.1%) children had severe ECC and 40(33.9%) parents were from upper middle class.

Conclusion The Nepali version of OH-ECQoL is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the oral health-related early childhood quality of life in children of Nepal.

Published: November 2022

Cholesterol embolization syndrome (CES) is one of the major, yet underdiagnosed cause of morbidity and mortality following invasive coronary interventions. The major risk factors are elderly, male, atherosclerotic disease, anticoagulation and femoral access route. This multisystem disease affects skin, kidney, brain, eye and gastrointestinal tract. Only few cases of cholesterol embolization syndrome manifesting as an ischemic stroke are reported. We present a case of an elderly man, admitted to our ICU after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who developed neurological deficits along with skin changes and renal failure. cholesterol embolization syndrome was suspected based upon the presence of cardiovascular risk factors, invasive cardiovascular intervention and clinical signs. The diagnosis of ischemic stroke made through plain MRI brain, revealed multiple areas of lacunar infarcts. He was treated with intermittent hemodialysis, statins and anti-platelet agents. On follow up, skin lesions and renal functions were improved; but slurring of speech and paresis persisted.

Published: November 2022

A solution like formalin used as a fixative has to be handled with lot of care and needs to be stored with utmost care. Negligence on part of the dental professional by accidentally injecting formalin instead of the local anesthetic can lead to permanent tissue damage and also may induce a life threatening situation. The operating dentist injected formalin accidentally instead of the local anesthetic and the patient experienced severe pain and burning sensation. The general practice of formalin being stored in the local anesthetic bottles and being assisted by untrained assistant is the most common reason for mishaps to happen. The dentist operating should be careful and aware of the drugs and chemicals being available in the operatory and re-check the solution being injected in the patient as to not land up in complications because of the negligence.

Wykład o słodkiej ziemi Cypru „Cronaca”, to jest Kroniką, zwany
Authors: Machieras Leoncjusz
Published: November 2022

Leontios Machairas’s fifteenth century account is beyond doubt the most outstanding example of mediaeval Greek chronicle-writing. The work is the main source on Cypriot history in the period following the island’s seizure by Frankish Crusaders as well as a monument of living vernacular Cypriot Greek of the Middle Ages. The story told encompasses 1,131 years: from the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helen (327) to the end of the Frankish rule of the island with the death of King John II (1458). The author of the chronicle was a Greek-speaking Cypriot native but also a Frankish courtier. The reader gets a feeling as though the author had documented a gradual making of Cyprus’s Franko-Greek society, hailing mostly from the middle (urban) classes of the islanders: natives as well as incomers, with more uniting than dividing both groups as time went by. Speaking at least two languages, attending Greek and Latin churches, they were probably blissfully unaware of the problem of ‘dual loyalty’.
RURAL DEVELOPMENT EVALUATION MEASURES
Authors: Mazare Silvia
Published: November 2022

The study wants to show methods for evaluating rural development in Romania, in the context of joining the European Union. The methodologies used are analysis and synthesis and they are usefull for private and public sector in helping them find new ways to improve rural life with European funds. The current interest in global and regional development is determined by the need to address and solve within national economic policies some new difficulties, generated in the context of the restructuring and reform processes triggered in the central and eastern regions of the continent. According to the Territorial Development Strategy of Romania 2035, the evaluation activities compare the achievements from certain moments of the implementation of the strategy with the previously proposed targets, including the way of implementing specific policies. Accession to the European Union was the strongest pressure factor for the rapid reform of the Romanian rural economy, given the need to integrate into the European rural economy, the European model being based on a competitive, market-oriented sector, performing public functions, such as: protecting the environment, offering more convenient residential settlements for the rural population, as well as the integration of agriculture with the environment and forestry. The general research hypothesis of the study consists in the assumption that the study of the rural space in Romania, in the context of the implementation of programs with European funds, will lead to a clearer identification of the problems and to finding better solutions for the development of the rural environment.
Digital footprints of Kashmiri Pandit migration on Twitter
Authors: Gulzar Farzana , Gul Sumeer , Mehraj Midhat , Bano Shohar , Thelwall Mike
Published: November 2022

The paper investigates changing levels of online concern about the Kashmiri Pandit migration of the 1990s on Twitter. Although decades old, this movement of people is an ongoing issue in India, with no current resolution. Analysing changing reactions to it on social media may shed light on trends in public attitudes to the event. Tweets were downloaded from Twitter using the academic version of its applications programming interface (API) using the free social media analytics software Mozdeh. A set of 1000 tweets was selected for a content analysis with a random number generator in Mozdeh. The results show that the number of tweets about the issue has increased over time, mainly from India, and predominantly driven by the release of films like Shikara and The Kashmir Files. The tweets show apparent universal sup­port for the Pandits but often express strong emotions or criticize the actions of politicians, showing that the migration is an ongoing source of anguish and frustration that needs resolution. The results also show that social media analysis can give insights even into primarily offline political issues that predate the popularity of the web, and can easily incorporate international perspectives necessary to understand complex migration issues.

Theoretical Model of the Structure of Freedom in Psychology
Authors: Stepanova N. A.
Published: November 2022

The modern stage of the development of psychological knowledge reveals new opportunities for a more complete consideration of the phenomenon of freedom in psychology, primarily by studying the spiritual dimension of consciousness. There are four layers of consciousness associated with the development of freedom: spiritual, value, reflexive, and existential. It is shown that most authors consider freedom mainly in the reflexive layer of consciousness, linking it with awareness, meaningfulness of life, self-management. There are fewer studies that affect the value layer of consciousness, where freedom is associated with the desire for self-realization, the choice of personal values and meanings; studies of the existential layer, where freedom is considered as a choice of opportunities in the space of culture, the space of social norms and rules. The article presents the approach of V.P. Zinchenko and G.V. Ozhiganova, who showed the importance of the spiritual layer of consciousness, its priority role in relation to the value, reflexive and existential layers. The spiritual layer of consciousness and the corresponding spiritual freedom are poorly studied in psychology, as are the types of freedom and its structural components. Freedom is understood by the author as a component of human consciousness, a product and result of the development of spiritual, value, reflexive and existential layers of consciousness, consisting in the conscious overcoming of external and internal obstacles in the course of life for the purpose of self-realization and spiritual self-improvement. Based on the theoretical analysis of the literature, the author's model of the structure of freedom as a component of human consciousness is proposed, which describes the structure of two types of freedom: external and internal. The appearance of freedom is determined to a greater extent by the existential, reflexive, value-based, to a lesser extent spiritual layers of consciousness, aimed at self-realization and self-actualization. Interior view of freedom is determined to a greater extent by the spiritual, value and reflexive, to a lesser extent by the existential layer of consciousness, aimed at spiritual self-improvement and personal growth. The theoretical model of the structure of freedom as a component of human consciousness proposed by the author can serve as the basis for the study of freedom in psychology.
Meeting on Psychology in 1952 (On the 70th Anniversary of the Event)
Authors: Zhuravlev A.
Published: November 2022

The authors made an attempt to take a fresh look and evaluate an event significant for Russian psychological science — the Conference on Psychology, convened on the initiative of the Presidium of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the RSFSR (June 30 — July 5, 1952), the seventieth anniversary of which is celebrated in 2022. The meeting was organized in two year after the Joint Scientific Session of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, dedicated to the problems of the physiological teachings of Academician I.P. Pavlov (June 28 — July 4, 1950), and psychologists were given the task of answering the question «what has been done to restructure psychology in the light of the teachings of I.P. Pavlov and the work of I.V. Stalin “Marxism and questions of linguistics”». An analysis was made of the speeches of its participants, published in specially published materials of the meeting, and articles from periodicals that preceded the start of this commemorative event were analyzed. For the first time, the reports of the speakers — lecturers of psychology who came from peripheral universities — were considered from the point of view of the problems that worried them: teaching psychology at school and university, questions of the continuity of psychological knowledge, i.e. the threshold of the history of psychology as a scientific branch, the expansion of the problematic field of psychological science. An important result of the analysis of the materials reflected in the materials of the meeting can be considered that both the texts of the speeches and the resolution of the meeting outlined realistic steps for the development of psychology, most of which were carried out. It is shown that the meeting aroused great interest of psychologists, contributed to the strengthening of the methodological positions of psychology and its scientific and organizational structures.

Dyslexia biomarker detection with Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) data in children: Feasibility, Acceptability, Economic impact, Pilot Study and Survey Results
Authors: Eroglu Gunet , Köprülü Mertali , Karabacak Berdan
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION
Dyslexia awareness is not high in societies. Although 5-17% of the population is thought to be dyslexic in every global society, only 0.05 % of the population gets a formal diagnosis in Turkey. The financial situation of families of children with dyslexia is not enough to get an early diagnosis and investigate intensive remedial opportunities. Mobile apps have been used to diagnose health conditions in recent years. Worldwide solutions for dyslexia do not exist as the solutions were language-dependent. We need an easily reachable, affordable, language-independent, and worldwide acceptable biomarker detection app for dyslexia at schools because it potentially helps to prevent severe consequences through an early diagnosis that helps provide early intervention. No other research assessed the feasibility and acceptability of using this mobile app to detect dyslexia at home or school. Here we present a dyslexia biomarker detection app based on Z-scored QEEG data that can be used at home or school and has accomplished a high accuracy rate in diagnosing dyslexia. The mobile app can be used at home by parents or teachers at school.

METHODS
We have collected data from 207 children (96 of them have dyslexia, 111 of them are typically developing) between 7-10 years old for 40 sessions on average.  The data consists of the eyes-open resting state 2-minute QEEG data from 14-channels.

RESULTS
Using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) machine learning method, children with dyslexia/ typically developing children (TDC) classification has been done with a high accuracy rate (98.8%). ANN yields the highest accuracy results with standardized QEEG data in the literature. A survey is created to assess the dyslexia biomarker detection app’s feasibility, acceptability, and economic impact. The results have shown that the biomarker detection app is found feasible and acceptable by families, however, it is found expensive to use at home as it includes the costly electroencephalography (EEG) headset.

CONCLUSION
In order for this biomarker detection method to be used extensively at home, EEG headset prices should become more affordable or this dyslexia biomarker detection method can be used at schools.
Pain assessment and management for older patients with hip fractures
Authors: Teo Shyh Poh
Published: November 2022

Older patients with hip fractures require a multidisciplinary management approach. Central to these considerations and treatment targets is adequate analgesia, which should be provided as early as possible. An overview of pain assessment and management considerations for patients with hip fractures is provided. There are several tools available to assess severity of pain, such as the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Visual Analogue Scale, Pictorial Pain Scale and Verbal Descriptor Scale (VDS). For older people, the NRS and VDS may be preferred. For patients with cognitive impairment, the Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia (PAINAD) scale or the Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors with Limited Ability to Communicate (PACSLAC) may be used. Ideally, paracetamol should be provided every 6 hours, with opioids for additional breakthrough pain. If this is inadequate or if there is a requirement to reduce administration of  opioids, nerve blocks may be considered. Compared to femoral nerve blocks, fascia-iliaca blocks are potentially easier to learn, safer and well-tolerated. Overall, older patients with hip fractures require adequate analgesia, which involves standardised pain assessment using appropriate tools and multimodal pain management approaches.

Flypaper Effect: The Shifting Unconditional Transfer and Private Income in Indonesia
Authors: Nurosidah Sherlita
Published: November 2022

This study aims to analyze the behavioral pattern of local government as seen from their spending regarding unconditional transfer and private income. Flypaper effect has been a major phenomenon in academic research. Nevertheless, in Indonesia, such research, especially the one focusing on the shift of unconditional transfer and private income, never been caried out. Over 22 years, Indonesia has been implementing decentralization which makes it more intriguing to see local governments’ budget and spending decisions’ motives. This paper uses a panel data from 476 districts and cities in Indonesia for 11 years. Classical assumption tests, endogeneity test as well as instrumental validation test were caried out before doing the regression. The result from two-stage least square regression shows that flypaper effect does not present in total spending yet appears in four other kinds of spending. Asymmetric response of those five are quite varied. Total expenditure and capital expenditure have symmetrical response. Meanwhile, operational spending and transfer spending have a fiscal replacement type of asymmetry. On the other hand, unexpected spending shows a fiscal restraint asymmetry. The direction of private income’s influence to spending also seen to be different from one another.
Proposing a Strategic Framework to Accelerate Circular Economic Practices: Strengthening the Willingness to Participate of the Young Generations as Agents of Change
Authors: Maria Maya
Published: November 2022

Indonesia's involvement in supporting the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Conference of the Parties-26/COP-26) in overcoming economic, social and environmental problems through low-carbon development, requires the acceleration of the implementation of Circular Economy (CE) practices. Circular Economy (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recovery and Repair) is an alternative to switch from a linear/traditional economy (take-make-dispose). This research is aimed at exploring the extent to which the role of the younger generation (in terms of preferences, mindsets, and expectations) to become agents of change to accelerate the implementation of good practices in the CE. A survey with a descriptive method involving 253 respondents (the younger generation) found that respondents did not mind being agents of change (with the range of answers agree and strongly agree was above 70%) to participate for the success of the CE practices, especially related to the desire to invite others to implement the CE economic practices (87%), willingness to dedicate time to set a positive example and be a part of a community that cares about the practices of CE (84%). The findings of this research are then used as the basis for building a comprehensive CE model to examine its 3 dimensions, namely: stakeholder management, community engagement, and knowledge creation. Keywords: Circular Economy, Agent of Change, Stakeholder Management, Community Engagement, Knowledge Creation.

Objective: To evaluate three biomass estimation methods (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV or drone), ceptometer, and canopy height), comparing them to the quadrant method in an arborescent tufted grassland in the state of Chihuahua.Methodology: The study was conducted in Teseachi, Namiquipa, in october 2020. We located thirty random points. The first biomass estimation method used was UAV. Once the drone flights were completed, the quadrant was placed and the coordinates were determined. We carried out nine readings using a ceptometer and obtained an average. Subsequently, we measured the average canopy height. Finally, all forage within the quadrant was cut at ground level and packed for laboratory analysis. The Agisoft Metashape software was used to process the SfM of the aerial images, using nine sampling points, applying the NGBDI vegetation index, and calculating the averagepixels of a 3 x 3 m moving window. A simple linear regression model was used to analyze the data with the R Project software, version 4.0.3.Results: The simple linear regression model showed an R 2 of 0.62 (p<0.01), 0.55 (p<;0.001), and 0.48 (p<0.001), for UAV, ceptometer, and canopy height, respectively.Study Limitations: There were no limitations for this report.
Conclusions: Data obtained with UAVs can generate predictive biomass maps with acceptable accuracy levels. The ceptometer leaf area index is a reliable method to estimate forage yield. However, using the canopy height method is not advisable to estimate forage yield, since its correlation is weak.

Objective: To diagnose the maintenance of green spaces in the southern zone of the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, México.
Design/Methodology/Approach: An analytical-synthetic and historical methodology was used to evaluate the state of green spaces, mainly in the southern part of the city. Likewise, bibliographic techniques were used to study the importance of green spaces, their conceptualization, and the challenges that they face.
Results: Providing maintenance and participating in proper management is essential for the improvement of green spaces and for the creation of an enhanced environment that provides better development for these areas in the city of Chihuahua and changes territorial development.
Study Limitations/Implications: Green spaces are part of the basic public amenities of any municipality and therefore the Municipal Council is in charge of these areas; however, the ability to achieve goals is determined by individual and collective productivity or rather the lack thereof.
Findings/Conclusions: Developing good management practices can provide well-kept and adequately-maintained green spaces for the inhabitants of Chihuahua.

Objective: To compare the profitability of corn cultivation under the milpa production system in Oaxaca, Puebla, and Veracruz.Methodology: Ninety-one producers, from Villa de Zaachila, Oaxaca, Chalchicomula de Sesma, Puebla, and Tequila, Veracruz, Mexico, were interviewed about corn production in milpa production systems. Average yield per hectare, costs, selling price, and total income were compared and the Cost Benefit Ratio (CBR) of the milpas of eachmunicipality was analyzed.Results: In Villa de Zaachila, corn production is carried out in a modern agriculture system with a $13,650 ha -1 total production costs, a 2,257 kg ha -1 yield, a $23,429.27 ha -1 total income, and a 1.72 CBR. The producers of Chalchicomula de Sesma use a traditional agriculture system and the production is sold to intermediaries, with a $12,380 ha -1 total cost, a 2,456 kg ha -1 yield, a $12,280.00 ha -1 total income, and a 0.99 CBR. InTequila, a subsistence agriculture is used, with a $7,350 ha -1 total production cost, a 964 kg ha -1 yield, a $6,748.00 ha -1 total income, and a 0.92 CBR.Study Limitations: The data were taken from an exploratory sample, limited in time and space. Non-sampled versions or productive practices could have been omitted, when technical-economic specificities are different from those shown in this study.Conclusions: The contrasting modifications in the structure, function, and logic of the milpa (2020-2021 cycle) resulted in a profitable agroecosystem in Villa de Zaachila; however, Chalchicomula de Sesma and Tequila had a non-profitable cycle.

Objective: To demonstrate the efficiency and profitability of temporary immersion bioreactors compared to propagation in gelled media.Design/Methodology/Approach: Agave potatorum seedlings were introduced to the in vitro system in order to compare their productivity, multiplication rate, and propagation time. An investment project was carried out considering the equipment depreciation, but without considering the construction of the property. Based onthese premises, the cost of production per plant was evaluated with a goal of 500,000 seedlings in mind.Results: A 3% contamination was recorded when the in vitro system was first introduced. The semi-solid multiplication rate was 4 shoots per explant and 18 shoots per explant in bioreactors, both at 30 days of incubation. A 10% handling loss was taken into consideration. The production cost was US$0.16 (MNX$3.20) for gelled media and US$0.09 (MNX$1.80) for propagation in temporary immersion bioreactors. The Internal Rates of Return for gelled media and for propagation with bioreactors were 2.33 and 3.75, respectively.Study Limitations/Implications: The study does not take into consideration theconstruction of the property, although it does consider equipment depreciation.Findings/Conclusions: Thanks to scientifical and technological development, the use of biotechnological tools is becoming more profitable every day. These technologies are already available to be transferred and this kind of research demonstrates its profitability, highlighting the potential establishment of technology- based companies.

Objective: To evaluate the behavior of the Naomi poinsettia variety and its varietal description applying the guidelines of the Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV).Design/Methodology/Approach: The variety was generated through the following methods: plant genetic hybridization, individual selection, and use of the grafting technique. The varietal description was based on the document of the Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). A completely randomized experimentaldesign with 10 replications was used. Vegetative and reproductive characteristics of the plant were recorded. The data was subjected to an analysis of variance and Tukey’s mean comparison test (P ≤ 0.05).Results: The Naomi variety is tall with intermediate width and branching. It has a very intense green color in the middle third of the stem. It has oval-shaped leaves of intermediate size, with a rounded base, and without curvature in the main nerve. Its elliptical bract does not have a torsion, but it has an intermediate roughness between itsnerves.Study Limitations/Implications: The variety is propagated asexually via cuttings andthe plants from which the cuts are made are preserved as mother plants. It needsadequate nutrition and light and temperature conditions that hinder floral differentiation.Findings/Conclusions: The new poinsettia material has phenotypic attributes demanded by the market. The varietal description indicates that it is comparable with other INIFAP varieties and with commercially available varieties. This plant can be considered a competitive candidate for the diversification of the offer of poinsettia plants in the Christmas season.
