O terceiro continente Tradução
Authors: Jablonka Ivan
Published: February 2018

Nas últimas décadas, os historiadores se aventuraram fora dos caminhos tradicionais para explorar e reconfigurar as relações entre o real, a investigação e a literatura. Se o encontro entre os gêneros é perceptível tanto na literatura como nas ciências sociais, isso não indica o seu desaparecimento. Uma mudança de paradigma se impõe como condição necessária à emergência de uma nova topografia literária e cognitiva.Palavras-chave: literatura; real; ciências sociais.

O velho do Restelo e a empresa de Vasco da Gama na epopeia lusíada
Authors: Do Amaral Felipe Cleber Vinicius
Published: February 2018

As palavras proferidas pelo velho do Restelo no canto IV da epopeia Os lusíadas (1572), de Camões, integram um dos episódios mais comentados do poema. Este artigo propõe uma análise dessa personagem que leva em consideração os códigos linguísticos da época, avaliando a mobilização (ou imitação) de lugares-comuns presentes na tradição ou no costume do gênero épico. Há, em sua fala, a presença de tópicas muito antigas, como a valorização da experiência, a censura à cobiça e o elogio à prudência, tornando a passagem rica e central no conjunto do poema, por remeter àquilo que se esperava de súditos católicos a serviço da Coroa portuguesa. Por intermédio deste estudo, poder-se-á refutar a hipótese segundo a qual tal episódio estaria em desarmonia com o restante da epopeia por retratar uma posição contrária à empresa marítima portuguesa.Palavras-chave: Os lusíadas; velho do Restelo; gênero épico.

Determining the Geotechnical Characteristics of Some Sedimentary Rocks from Iran with an Emphasis on the Correlations between Physical, Index, and Mechanical Properties
Authors: Fereidooni Davood , Khajevand Reza
Published: February 2018

Geotechnical characteristics were assessed to correlate physical, index, and mechanical properties of twelve sedimentary rock samples of four rock types collected from northern and northwestern parts of Damghan, northern Iran. Mineralogical and physical properties of the rocks were determined from prepared specimens in the laboratory after the field investigations. Also, the selected rock samples were subjected to index and mechanical tests including P-wave velocity, Schmidt rebound hardness, slake durability, point load, Brazilian, block punch, and uniaxial compressive strength. Mineralogical studies by thin section and X-Ray diffraction methods indicated that the selected rock samples with different textures are mainly composed of quartz and calcite. The studied rocks had low to high dry unit weight, low to medium porosity and low to very high P-wave velocity. The rocks were classified as durable and very durable based on the slake durability index. They were very strong to extremely strong in point load index, weak to moderate in block punch index, and weak to strong in uniaxial compressive strength. So they were classified in different strength categories. The obtained correlations between different rock properties from regression analyses indicated that specific gravity and unit weights are affected by mineral content while the other characteristics including water absorption, primary wave velocity, Schmidt rebound hardness, slake durability index, point load index, Brazilian tensile strength, and block punch strength are controlled by the porosity of the rocks.
10-Year Outcome of Suicidal Behavior in Borderline Personality Disorder
Authors: Soloff Paul H. , Chiappetta Laurel
Published: February 2018

Prospective predictors of suicide attempts were assessed in 118 subjects with borderline personality disorder (BPD) after 10 or more years of follow-up. Mean (SD) time to follow-up was 14.4 (4.7) years. Subjects were predominately female (78.8%), Caucasian (81.4%), and of lower socioeconomic status. Initial recruitment was evenly balanced between inpatient, outpatient, and non-patient (community) sources. In the 10-year interval, 55 subjects (46.6%) attempted suicide. Compared to baseline, suicidal ideation, number of attempts, and non-suicidal self-injury diminished markedly. Core symptoms of BPD, substance abuse, and alcohol use disorders decreased significantly; however, major depressive disorder (MDD) remained constant at 50%. Forty-four percent of subjects had poor psychosocial, vocational, and economic outcomes. Psychosocial outcome was independent of suicide history and any treatment. Increased risk was associated with interval hospitalization prior to any attempt (illness severity), as well as poor social, vocational, and psychosocial functioning at baseline.

Authors: Sáez Lawrence
Published: February 2018

Bangladesh experienced a turbulent year in 2017, largely as a result of damaging floods. Moreover, the flood of Rohingya refugees in the second half of the year added considerable strain to Bangladesh’s political economy. There are worrisome signs that the Bangladeshi state is using a range of institutional and extrajudicial mechanisms to stifle political opposition.

Published: February 2018

The year 2017 saw the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party extend its electoral dominance by winning major state elections. The BJP was less successful, however, in containing contentious politics and vigilantism by right-wing groups. It was also a tumultuous year for the Indian economy as it strove to recover from the shock of major reforms. The Supreme Court issued landmark verdicts likely to have weighty implications for Indian society in the years to come. The Indian government could also claim credit for foreign policy successes vis-à-vis China, Pakistan, Israel, and the ICJ.

Published: February 2018

Između dva rata na otoku Silbi u okviru Marijine kongregacije djevojke su uvježbavale i uspješno izvodile amaterske kazališne predstave. Kazivačice Vjekoslava Lovrin i Josipa Matulina u poodmaklim su se godinama prisjećale sadržaja predstava, glumaca koji su glumili pojedine uloge, kostima u koje su bile odjevene i izgleda pozornice. Dobro su se prisjećale predstava: Nađena kćerka, Strpljen spašen i Smrt Janje, a od šaljivih su jednočinki spominjale: Dvije gluhe, Čarobna čorba i Čarobna svijeća. Predstavu Novi Romeo s muškim i ženskim glumcima-amaterima uvježbala je učiteljica Angela Žorž koja je ujedno i režirala prigodne predstave Snjeguljica i sedam patuljaka i Sveti Mikula. Repertoarna se specifičnost silbenskih amaterskih predstava temelji na melodrami i lakim komedijama. Autorica je ovoga rada promatrala silbenski amaterizam u kontekstu svakodnevice kako bi objasnila uzroke nastanka izoliranoga i specifičnoga dramskog izraza.

The role of Sirtuin1–PPARγ axis in placental development and function
Authors: Pham Jonathan , Arul Nambi Rajan Kanaga , Li Ping , Parast Mana M
Published: February 2018

Placental development is important for properin uterogrowth and development of the fetus, as well as maternal well-being during pregnancy. Abnormal differentiation of placental epithelial cells, called trophoblast, is at the root of multiple pregnancy complications, including miscarriage, the maternal hypertensive disorder preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. The ligand-activated nuclear receptor, PPARγ, and nutrient sensor, Sirtuin-1, both play a role in numerous pathways important to cell survival and differentiation, metabolism and inflammation. However, each has also been identified as a key player in trophoblast differentiation and placental development. This review details these studies, and also describes how various stressors, including hypoxia and inflammation, alter the expression or activity of PPARγ and Sirtuin-1, thereby contributing to placenta-based pregnancy complications.
Contribución de los recursos financieros al crecimiento de la producción y retorno al capital de los productores
Authors: Villalobos Céspedes Daniel
Published: February 2018

La contribución de los recursos financieros al crecimiento de la producción es un tema tabú en la teoría económica, en especial si se trata del capital financiero, el cual es parte activa de la dinámica de una economía vigorosa. El capital financiero es un instrumento central del crecimiento económico en cuanto su participación contribuye en los procesos de transformación y transferencia de valor de los medios de producción al producto. Ese capital puede permitir a los empresarios generar productos y, por su medio, obtener ganancias. Para lograrlo, los productores transmutan el capital financiero en recursos financieros. La tasa de interés es un mecanismo que facilita al capital financiero y, a los productores, la incursión en procesos globales de producción.

Authors: Hallamaa Lotta , Cheung Yin Bun , Maleta Kenneth , Luntamo Mari , Ashorn Ulla , Gladstone Melissa , Kulmala Teija , Mangani Charles , Ashorn Per
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

We showed earlier that presumptive infection treatment in pregnancy reduced the prevalence of neonatal stunting in a rural low-income setting. In this article, we assess how these gains were sustained and reflected in childhood growth, development, and mortality.

METHODS:

We enrolled 1320 pregnant Malawian women in a randomized trial and treated them for malaria and other infections with either 2 doses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) (control), monthly SP, or monthly sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and 2 doses of azithromycin (AZI-SP). Child height or length and mortality were recorded at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months and development at 60 months by using Griffith’s Mental Development Scales.

RESULTS:

Throughout follow-up, the mean child length was 0.4 to 0.7 cm higher (P < .05 at 1–12 months), the prevalence of stunting was 6 to 11 percentage points lower (P < .05 at 12–36 months), and the 5-year cumulative incidence of stunting was 13 percentage points lower (hazard ratio: 0.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.60 to 0.83, P < .001) in the AZI-SP group than in the control group. The mean developmental score was 3.8 points higher in the AZI-SP group than in the control group (95% CI: 1.1 to 6.4, P = .005). Total mortality during pregnancy and childhood was 15.3%, 15.1%, and 13.1% (P = .60) in the control, monthly SP, and AZI-SP groups, respectively. Postneonatal mortality (secondary outcome) was 5.5%, 3.3%, and 1.9%, respectively (risk ratio of AZI-SP versus control: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.15 to 0.76, P = .008).

CONCLUSIONS:

Provision of AZI-SP rather than 2 doses of SP during pregnancy reduced the incidence of stunting in childhood. AZI-SP during pregnancy also had a positive effect on child development and may have reduced postneonatal mortality.
Desarrollo de un Modelo Virtual para el Conformado de Aceros Inoxidables
Authors: Vargas Salvador Bravo
Published: February 2018

En este trabajo se presenta un modelo virtual en ANSYS del proceso de conformado en aceros inoxidables que permite la obtención de la fibra neutra. La fibra neutra, también conocida como factor K, permite el cálculo del desarrollo de una pieza para su posterior conformado.  Dada la complejidad de los procesos de conformado en la industria, como lo son el doblado, embutido y estampado, es necesario realizar el análisis computacional de los mismos. Es importante disponer de modelos que permitan conocer el comportamiento de los materiales durante su procesamiento para disminuir los posteriores errores de manufactura. Este trabajo propone un método de análisis por elementos finitos para el conformado de aceros inoxidables y presenta la comparativa con la experimentación física. Se ha caracterizado el proceso particular de doblado y se ha hecho la comparativa con probetas físicas de los aceros inoxidables 201 y 304, la cual muestra una diferencia de apenas el 0.4 por ciento entre ambas. El factor K obtenido puede ser utilizado directamente para cálculos analíticos para el desarrollo de piezas, o en los softwares de plegado de chapa metálica.
Encounters in Literacy
Authors: Damico Holly , Nelson Ryan
Published: February 2018

As clinicians become progressively more oriented toward literacy in disabled populations, it is important to appreciate and understand the complexity of this language based phenomenon. This article acknowledges the role of qualitative research in attempting to understand literacy as a social and linguistic action. Through over five decades of research we demonstrate how evidence from qualitative studies can be employed to discuss the acquisition process, the theoretical basis, and clinical implications of literacy.
Consumer Protection under Directive 2015/2366 on Payment Services in the Internal Market – Selected Issues
Authors: Byrski Jan
Published: February 2018

Directive 2007/64 on payment services (PSD 1) introduced protection for consumers of payment services. First and foremost, the consumer should receive the basic information required by law before and after the execution of a payment. Secondly, the consumer is made more familiar with the charges incurred when paying in shops, including online shops. Third, PSD 1 provided the protection of consumer rights in the event of unauthorised or incorrect charges to the consumer’s payment account. Fourthly, within PSD 1 the market for payment systems was opened, thus allowing entities other than banks to provide payment services. In order to protect consumers’ money, these new institutions have become subject to regulation (supervision).The European Union legislator, when establishing a new framework for the provision of payment services in the European Union (PSD 2), reached the conclusion that existing protection for the consumer – the payment service user, was insufficient. Therefore, new legal instruments protecting the consumer have been introduced. However, upon examination a conclusion has been reached that while some of the protections should be accepted, others warrant critical review.

Published: February 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. In all societies, violence is a social problem and violation of human rights. Changing attitudes and behaviors, which accept violence at individual and societal levels are key components in prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to produce educational material on Gender Based Violence (GBV). A participatory study design including educators and university students was used to create four teaching modules. The teaching was evaluated by descriptive surveys before and after the training and focus group discussions followed the training session. The questionnaire covered attitudes to gender, violence and laws. One hundred eleven teachers and 25 students representing different faculties and universities participated in separate workshops in three Sri Lankan universities. The students lacked knowledge of the meaning of GBV, consequences and existing laws. Women held more gender-equitable attitudes. Both women and men favoured equal participation of work and decision in the households. Male undergraduates showed less accepting attitudes toward rape or blaming women for rape Three categories emerged after the FGDs; Make training module compulsory and teacher led; Mind your own business; What can be done. The newly prepared and context specific material was well-received by educators and students and they provided valuable inputs, which improved the educational modules.
Complete Remission Following Pembrolizumab in a Woman with Mismatch Repair-Deficient Endometrial Cancer and a Germline BRCA1 Mutation

Published: February 2018

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in the U.S. and, although the majority of cases present at an early stage and can be treated with curative intent, those who present with advanced disease, or develop metastatic or recurrent disease, have a poorer prognosis. A subset of endometrial cancers exhibit mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency. It is now recognized that MMR-deficient cancers are particularly susceptible to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors, and in a landmark judgement in 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to pembrolizumab for these tumors, the first tumor-agnostic approval of a drug. However, less is known about the sensitivity to PD-1 blockade among patients with known mutations in double-strand break DNA repair pathways involving homologous recombination, such as those in BRCA1 or BRCA2. Here we report a case of a patient with an aggressive somatic MMR-deficient endometrial cancer and a germline BRCA1 who experienced a rapid complete remission to pembrolizumab.

Key Points

Endometrial cancers, and in particular endometrioid carcinomas, should undergo immunohistochemical testing for mismatch repair proteins. Uterine cancers with documented mismatch repair deficiency are candidates for treatment with programmed cell death protein 1 inhibition. Genomic testing of recurrent, advanced, or metastatic tumors may be useful to determine whether patients are candidates for precision therapies.

In the present research, diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films were applied on steel substrates by means of pulsed-direct current (DC) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). The effects of bias voltage and deposition pressure on the films’ structure and properties were investigated. The Raman spectra of the films revealed features typical of G and D bands, indicating the formation of a DLC phase. The results demonstrate that the sp3 carbon fraction or the so-called diamond-like character of the DLC films increased with increasing bias voltage. Moreover, an increase in the bias voltage resulted in a decrease in the film thickness from 800 to 200 nm. Also, the DLC films prepared at a higher deposition pressure showed a higher fraction of sp2-bonded carbon – that is, graphitic domains. Furthermore, it was found that the variation in the bias voltage and deposition pressure also affected the internal stress values of the DLC films in a way that they increased from 1 to 11 GPa when the bias voltage was increased from 475 to 675 V. The effectiveness of DLC films formed on the steel substrates can pave the way for developing a new class of advanced materials to enhance the performance of stainless steel for biomedical applications.

Published: February 2018

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess platelet count, MPV and PDW as metabolic indicator in obese children with or without insuline resistances.Materials and Methods: Two hundered sixtyseven obese patients (160 female) and 50 (25 female) controls were enrolled. Anthropometric measurements, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), uric acid, hemoglobin, platelet count, MPV, PDW  and insulin resistance by using  homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)  and  oral glucose tolerance test were investigated. Results: Uric acid level were significantly higher in the obese group while there was no statistically significantly differences in platelet indices between in the  two groups. Platelet counts, MPV and PDW levels were not significantly different between in three groups. However MPV inversely correlated with HOMA-IR, platelet counts, ALT and LDL levels and positively correlated with PDW. Conclusion: The relationship between platelets, MPV, PDW has previously been demonstrated. However   platelet indices may not to be related to  degree of obesity as currently thought.  Uric acid may be a more useful marker for selected patients with insulin resistance.

Purpose: Delivery of safe, effective and efficient care are important goals of qualified nursing care which can be met by acquiring critical thinking skills. In nursing critical thinking is a general concept and there are many uncertainty about its definition. In this paper, a specific definition of critical thinking is offered which has a direct relationship with clinical nursing.Methods: In this qualitative content analysis, data were gathered from 18 nurses who had direct involvement with subjects. Semi structured interviews in Tehran, Karaj and Sanandaj hospitals, were conducted .The data were analyzed through inductive content analysis.Results:  The extracted attributes of critical thinking were using nursing process in facing with clinical situations, being criterion-based in making clinical decisions, emphasizing on holistic performances, personal critical thinking dispositions and using emotional intelligence in facing with clinical situations Conclusions: The emerged categories were resulted in developing an operative definition about the critical thinking in the context of clinical nursing. This definition can help practitioners to develop a framework and guidelines for effective performance in practice. This framework usually guarantees competency in nursing.
Development and validation of the Polish experimental short version of the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-ES-PL) for the assessment of early maladaptive schemas
Authors: Staniaszek Karolina , Popiel Agnieszka
Published: February 2018

The Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ) measures the intensity of early maladaptive schemas connected with symptoms of mental disorders, particularly personality disorders. We conducted a procedure of shortening the Polish version of the YSQ, analogous to the original one, and determined the psychometric properties of the instrument thus developed by performing a reliability and validity analysis (n = 1.073). In the second part of the study we tested the factor structure of the YSQ using confirmatory factor analysis in the sample from Study 1 and an independent group (n = 898). We reduced the number of items in the questionnaire from 232 to 90 – leaving five items in each of the 18 scales corresponding to specific schemas. We obtained adequate and high internal consistency coefficients for each subscale and for the whole instrument. The overall measure of schemas was positively associated with beliefs characteristic for all personality disorders measured by the Personality Beliefs Questionnaire (PBQ). The intensity of the schemas (except the Self-Sacrifice scale) significantly differentiated participants from the clinical (n = 31) and nonclinical groups (n = 1,042). We also confirmed the theoretical factor structure of the instrument, although the weakness of some measures of fit suggests the need for further research. The obtained results support the use of the experimental short Polish version of the Young Schema Questionnaire as a measure of early maladaptive schemas.

Artikel ini akan menjelaskan secara singkat peran kepemimpinan kepala madrasah dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan. Seorang pemimpin sekolah memiliki peran strategis untuk mewujudkan kualitas sekolah pendidikan. Lembaga ini membutuhkan pemimpin yang memiliki kemampuan dalam memimpin. Penggerak utama adalah tokoh dan inspirasi dalam merancang dan mengerjakan kegiatan di sekolah. Pemimpin bukan hanya seorang Manajer, dia juga harus menjadi pembangun mental, moral, semangat, dan kolektivitas untuk jajaran bawahannya dan tidak hanya menggunakan aturan tertulis, tetapi juga sikap perilakunya, figur, dan contoh dalam melakukan agenda transformasi kepemimpinan yang lebih baik. Pemimpin tidak harus dianggap sebagai objek eksploitasi, dengan demikian bawahannya harus dianggap sebagai teman dan mitra kerja. Jadi tidak ada kesewenang-wenangan dan ketidakadilan. Karena tanpa bawahan pemimpin kurang berarti. This article will briefly explain the role of the leadership of the head of school in improving education quality. A school leader has a strategic role to realize the school's quality of education.  The institution needs a leader who has skills in leading. The principal mover is a figure and inspiration in designing and working on activities at the school. The leader is not just a Manager, he or she must also be a builder of mental, moral, spirit, and collectivity to his subordinates. He must not only use the written rules, but also the attitude of his behavior, image, and example in making a better leadership transformation agenda. The leader should not be regarded as an object of his exploits, thus his subordinates should be considered as friends and working partners. So there's no arbitrariness besides injustice. Leaders’ role is meaningless without his subordinate. Kata kunci:    kepemimpinan, kualitas pendidikan, sekolah islam, madrasah

Published: February 2018

Era globalisasi dan modernisasi ditandai dengan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi pada bidang transportasi dan komunikasi. Demikian pula pendidikan dan pembelajaran beberapa tahun terakhir ini ditopang oleh kecanggihan sistem, metode dan alat-alat teknologi pembelajaran ciptaan manusia.Pesantren yang kental dengan sistem pembelajarannya yang klasik menjadi sebuah problem sosialisasi dan aktualisasi ini ditambah lagi dengan problem keilmuan, yaitu terjadi kesenjangan, alienasi (keterasingan) dan differensiasi (pembedaan) antara keilmuan pesantren dengan dunia modern. Sehingga terkadang lulusan pesantren kalah bersaing atau tidak siap berkompetisi dengan lulusan umum dalam urusan profesionalisme di dunia kerja.

Published: February 2018

Pendidikan multikultural adalah sebuah sistem pendidikan yang berupaya untuk meredam kesenjangan sosial, kelas sosial, kecemburuan sosial dengan mengenalkan dan mensosialisasikan salah satu orientasinya yakni kebersamaan. Oleh karena itu dalam lembaga pendidikan Islam perlu menerapkan sistem pengajaran yang berorientasi pada penanaman kesadaran pluralisme dalam kehidupan. Adapun beberapa program pendidikan yang sangat strategis dalam menumbuhkan kesadaran pluralisme adalah:   pendidikan sekolah harus membekali para mahasiswa atau peserta didik dengan kerangka (frame work) yang memungkinkannya menyusun dan memahami pengetahuan yang diperoleh dari lingkunganya.Gagasan mengenai multikultural bukanlah sesuatu yang sulit, karena di dalam agama Islam mengajarakan tentang saling menghormati dan mengakui kebaradaan orang lain. perbedaan warna kulit, bahasa, dan budaya harus diterima sebagai sesuatu yang positif dan merupakan tanda-tanda dari kebesaran Allah SWT. Untuk itu sikap yang diperlukan bagi seorang muslim dalam merespon kemajemukan dan perbedaan adalah dengan memandangnya secara positif.

Published: February 2018

Background: A smile constitutes a form of measurement as to whether or not an orthodontic treatment has proved successful. A smile is said to be ideal if a balance exists between the shape of the face and teeth. One benchmark used to assess the quality of an ideal smile is that of buccal corridors. These are formed of the black space between the lateral edge of maxillary posterior teeth and the corner of the lip which appears during the action of smiling. Evaluating the contrasting perceptions of male and female smiles based on buccal corridor aspects is considered important to identifying the specific qualities an ideal smile. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the difference between the perceptions of an ideal smile held by Indonesian dental students of both genders based on buccal corridors. Methods: A total of 36 dental students, equally divided between male and female students and ranging in age from 18-21 years old, were enrolled in this study. The smiles of all subjects were photographed from the front for later assessment by the subjects themselves. Assessment was undertaken twice, with a two-week interval between the first and second, by comparing subjects’ photographs with reference pictures of buccal corridors. Data gathered were analyzed by using kappa-statistic and U-Mann Whitney. Results: The results indicated that all the subjects showed a good level of coincidence in their analysis (κ=0.76). Statistical analysis showed that the score of 0.123 (p>0.05) was shown in U-Mann Whitney. Conclusion: Indonesian male and female dental students have the same perception of an aesthetic smile with regard to its buccal corridor.

Published: February 2018

Background: Providing dental treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) represents a challenge for dentists. In the dental care of such children, the treatment plans implemented are usually determined by several factors, including: the type of autism spectrum disorder, the degree of patient cooperation, dentist/patient communication, the required treatment, self-care skills and parental/dentist support. Purpose: The purpose of this case report was to report the dental care delivered in the cases of two pediatric patients with ASD. Case 1: A 10.7 year-old boy with a nonverbal form of ASD who was experiencing recurrent pain in his lower left posterior tooth and also presented a blackened tooth. Case 2: A 9.6 year-old boy with a nonverbal form of ASD suffering from numerous painful cavities. Case management 1: On the day of the first visit, the boy was the subject of several behavioral observations. During the day of the second visit, he underwent a brief intraoral examination at a dental unit in order to arrive at a temporary diagnosis before appropriate was decided upon treatment in consultation with his parents. The implemented treatment plans comprised dental extraction and preventive restoration under general anesthesia. Case management 2: On the first visit, the boy underwent behavioral observations followed by early intraoral examination involving physical restraint approach. During the second visit, several treatment plans such as: general anesthesia, tooth extraction, restoration, and pulp-capping treatment were formulated. Conclusion: It can be concluded that general anesthesia was considered an appropriate dental treatment plan since the two patients in question were extremely co-operative during the necessary procedures. In other words, pediatric dental care treatment plans in cases of ASD should be determined by clearly-defined criteria, specifically the benefits and risks of the treatment plans for the safety of both patient and dental care team.
