Authors: KHAN EB , MUHAMMAD T , GHAFFAR H , JEHAN NS , RASHID HU , AHMED M , NAZ H
Published: September 2024

Clear aligners, a modern orthodontic solution for malocclusions, have gained widespread popularity due to their aesthetic appeal, convenience, and technological advancements. Understanding the perceptions and attitudes of orthodontists and general dentists toward clear aligners is essential to enhance their adoption and effectiveness in orthodontic care. Objective: To assess orthodontists' and general dentists' awareness, attitudes, and confidence levels toward using clear aligners in orthodontic practice. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a 10-item questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. The sample consisted of 200 participants: 100 orthodontists and 100 general dentists. The responses were rated on a 5-point Likert scale, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Chi-square tests and t-tests were applied to assess differences between the two groups, with a significance level set at p<0.05. Results: The response rate was 85%. Orthodontists demonstrated significantly higher confidence in using clear aligners than general dentists (p<0.001). Orthodontists were also more likely to view aligners as the future of orthodontics and reported fewer challenges, such as patient compliance and accessibility. In contrast, general dentists expressed lower confidence in achieving precise outcomes with aligners and faced more difficulties during treatment. Conclusion: Orthodontists show greater confidence and a more positive outlook on using clear aligners than general dentists. Addressing the differences in experience and perceptions between these groups could lead to improved implementation of clear aligner therapy in dental practice, ultimately benefiting patient outcomes.

Published: September 2024

The functional response of larval instar of Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) fed on rose aphids (Macrosiphum rosae) was investigated to check their predatory potential as biological control agent. This study examined the predation patterns of first, second and third larval instars of C. carnea when exposed to varying densities of rose aphids under controlled laboratory conditions at Department of Entomology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. The results showed that all larval stages of C. carnea significantly consumed rose aphids M. rosae. The density of rose aphids (Macrosiphum rosae) had no impact on the functional response of larval instars of green lacewing. Among larval stages, 3rd instar larvae of green lacewing exhibited the highest predation rates on all densities of rose aphids, followed by 2nd and 1st instars. However, aphid consumption rate of larval instars of C. carnea increased with increase in larval stages. Overall, these findings emphasize the significance of larval stages in the predatory performance of green lacewing and highlight the importance of 3rd instar larvae in biological control applications.

BACKGROUND: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is highly prevalent in Africa, especially in Nigeria, the most populous country, and is associated with a high mortality rate. Depression, common among individuals with SCD, correlates with increased pain intensity and opioid misuse, leading to poorer outcomes and diminished quality of life in these patients.
AIM: To determine whether major depressive disorder is a predictor of opioid use disorder among patients with sickle cell disease.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at UDUTH Sokoto and employed psychometric instruments to evaluate patients with SCD. A systematic sampling technique was utilized, and data analyzed using SPSS version 25. Chi-square tests and regression analysis were employed to assess associations and identify predictors, respectively.
RESULTS: The study found statistically significant associations between opioid use disorder (OUD) and the lack of insurance services (p-value = 0.008), major depressive disorder (p-value < 0.001), and elevated pain scores (p-value = 0.003), but not with hemoglobin type (p-value = 0.229). OUD was also more prevalent among respondents with moderate to severe depression (p-value = 0.017). However, only major depressive disorder was identified as a predictor of OUD (AOR: 0.174, 95% CI: 0.067–0.452, p-value < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: The study identified major depressive disorder as a predictor of OUD among patients with SCD, this underscores the necessity for routine depression screening and timely intervention in this population.
Keywords: Major depressive disorder, Opioid use disorder, Sickle cell disease.

In the realm of fuzzy set theory, the concept of a square root fuzzy set introduces a novel approach to handling uncertainty and imprecision in data representation. Traditional fuzzy sets use membership functions to quantify the degree of truth or belonging, typically ranging from 0 to 1. The square root fuzzy set extends this framework by applying the square root transformation to the membership values, resulting in a new set of membership degrees that are more sensitive to lower values and less sensitive to higher values. The Square Root Fuzzy Matrices are used as the dataset, and the weights are calculated employing Runge-Kutta methods.The Square root Fuzzy Hybrid Geometric operator and the Square root Fuzzy Weighted Geometric operator both supply solutions that we must use in the decision-making process. This paper presents examples showing the efficiency and usefulness of the Canberra Distance calculation, which is used for ranking Keywords: Square Root Fuzzy Set, Square Root Fuzzy Weighted Geometric, Square Root Fuzzy Hybrid Geometric, Butcher ‘s Fifth Order Runge-Kutta Method.

Published: September 2024

Effective management of water resources is a challenge in Tamil Nadu, India's Veeranam command area, a vital agricultural region. This study models the hydrological processes and evaluates water resource management methods using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) via the ArcSWAT interface. We developed Hydrological Response Units (HRUs), mapped out the watershed, and examined the various components of the water balance using comprehensive geographic and meteorological data. Data on soil moisture content and observed streamflow were used to calibrate and validate the model. The findings show that there are notable differences in the amount and demand of water under various land use and climatic scenarios. The report offers practical advice for enhancing irrigation techniques and putting conservation measures into place. Based on real-time soil moisture data, optimal irrigation strategies have been shown to increase crop yields by 15% while consuming 12% less water. Over the course of five years, the implementation of these strategies led to a 22% improvement in water use efficiency and an 8% increase in crop output efficiency.

Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming work across many industries, and it is important to evaluate the impact of these technologies on employment, productivity, and the overall economy. While automation and AI have clear benefits such as efficiency, lower costs, and greater accuracy, these technological advances pose challenges, such as loss of jobs, skills mismatch, and economic inequality. This paper will examine how different sectors are being impacted, considering the potential for new job creation in emerging fields, and discuss the need for reskilling and training to prepare the workforce for the future. Throughout history, technological advancements have had a dual-edged effect. While such advancements have enhanced and benefited us, they have also brought about unforeseen issues that sometimes are rectified, and at other times require urgent strategic policy measures. The global economy and future of work are expected to be more automated, but only if we strategize and take policy measures to achieve a “just” transition.

Recently, there has been a significant increase in interest in the sale of NFTs. These digital assets can be used not only to address the issue of owning digital assets but also to form the basis of a business model for funding fundamental academic research, alongside cryptocurrencies and other blockchain technologies. Concurrently, a scientific study conducted by Daniele Pepe from the University of Leuven revealed that the scientific interest in lucid dreaming is growing at a rate of 5.6% annually. Moreover, a completely new trend has emerged, with major investors allocating funds to research on lucid dreaming.
The aim of this article is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a business model for financing scientific research, exemplified by the establishment of a new "Banchenko Market" (Lucid Dreams and Other Transcendental States of Consciousness Market) based on the application of NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technologies. Successful projects in the field of lucid dreaming research, such as the collaborative study between the Research Institute of Sleep and Dreams in Moscow and D.Y. Banchenko on exploring techniques for inducing and experiencing lucid dreams, serve as notable examples utilizing NFTs for partial project financing.
This work identifies four NFT business models: (1) NFT creator; (2) NFT market selling author's NFT tokens; (3) company offering proprietary NFTs (fan tokens); and (4) computer game with NFT sales. In this research, the financing model for research is based on the sale of authors' NFT tokens. The study combines literature on business models and NFTs to bring clarity to established NFT business models in the context of the "Banchenko Market."

Evaluación de la eficacia del proceso de mediación familiar
Authors: Sánchez González Anarbella
Published: September 2024

Over the last two decades, family mediation has become an alternative to judicial process in solving conflicts derived from the breakdown of marriage.
Despite the boom of family mediation, there is little research comparing the effectiveness of mediation and traditional procedures. The studies that have been carried out present multiple methodological problems. They do, in any case, seem to confirm the greater effectiveness of mediation inarriving at satisfactory agreements for the parties in conflict, in guarantecing the application of the agreements in the future and in improving communication between parties.
On the other hand, research on the mediation process reveals that the main determinants of its effectiveness are the mediators” tactics, the characteristics defining the dispute and the interaction between these two factors.
Eventos privados: una reconstrucción conceptual
Authors: Carrascoso López Francisco Javier
Published: September 2024

In this article, we critically analyse the Skinnerian account of private events and proceed to conceptually reconstruct private events in the light of recent empirical findings in the research on derived relational responding, verbal behaviour, and relational frame theory. We consider private events as singular or specific events, observable to a second individual, radically construed in the same exercise as social arbitrary practices, and consisting essentially of verbal behaviour. Thus, problems such as the causal status or stimulus nature of private events, or the issue of their observability are radically treated as non-sense problems.

Suicidal ideation is a variable that might determine clinical and pathological levels of one’s own death, specially in regards to the thoughts and deeply rooted desires of an adolescent. The aim of this investigation was to analyze the possibly existingcorrelations between suicidal ideation and the subject’s personal profile in a sample of teenagers from the Autonomous Community of Navarra. The sample comprised 1194 adolescents aged 14 to 18. The following data collection procedures were used: W. M. Reynolds’ Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ): Professional Manual and T. Millon’s Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI). Starting from the 65 cases that were found, results show the most significant personal traits of those adolescents with pathological suicidal ideation that indicate significant levels of suicidal ideation. Such finding enables us to determine their clinical and pathological levels and to devise a possible personal profile for them. CITE AS:Simón Cabodevilla, A. & Sanchís Cordellat, F. (2010).

The development is analyzed from investigate what relation exists with the stress that the mother experiment during the motherhood and which is the stimulation that the child receives in theirs home. Random simple samplings was selected, with infants from one to five years old in the municipalities of the south of the State of Sonora, Mexico, and there were elected 115 mothers that have children with under six-year-old. The used instruments were the Index of Stress Parental for families Sonorenses (Montiel and Vera 1998), the Inventory of Stimulation of the Child in the Home (HOME) (Cadwell and Bradley, 1967; Vera, Dominguez and Laborín, 1991) and the Scale of Integral Child Development (EDIN) (Atkin, Supervielle, Sawyer and Canton, 1987). The results demonstrated the relation between the stress and the development of the child. The analysis of variance factorial (ANOVA) showed that the acceptance of the child for the mother influences the child development (r = -0.35) specifically the area of language (r = -0.33), fine coordination area (r = -0.21) and sens-cognitive area (r = -0.22). The previous thing suggests a directly proportional relation between the level of stress of the mother and the language, the fine coordination and the sens-cognitive area. The subjective perceptions of stress are related with de child behavior and with the way in which the motherhoodaffects the socialization and use of free time from the moms. This study doesn’t find a significant correlation between stimulation in home and child development. The mothersare not stimulating intentionally their children because in they persist the beliefs that the child development it’s biologically determinate.

Published: September 2024

The general aim of this paper is to review and integrate present research about the different external and internal factors that could hinder the access of women to management positions. Among the external barriers stand out gender stereotypes, labour market segregation, women labour discrimination, sexual harassment, mobbing at work, lower career development opportunities at organization, absence of an integrated labour policy that facilitates the compatibility of work and family areas, and the difficulty to share household and childcare responsibilities. Despite those external determining factors stop many personal and professionally qualified women achieving positions in managerial settings, personal variables can not be ignored, such as low self-efficacy and training in traditionally male issues, since also could change into significant obstacles.

Seventy-two subjects with different age-grades were compared through a zero-delay, second-order matching-to-sample procedure. The task consisted in matching the two-first sound of the words. The word presentation could be visual, auditory or both. Transfer sessions required semantic-matching of the words and involved test trials with different number of auditory stimuli. None of the 7 years old reached the criterion in training and transfer tests. The percentage of 10 and 14 years old children who reached the training criterion was bigger than the 17 years old subjects. However these were better on transfer tests. The results suggest the visual primacy and importance that stimulus modality had in this kind of tasks. The effect of the education on dimensional transfer under this type of task is also discussed.

Published: September 2024

This research shows the usefulness of systematic collection of information in aging people and includes a statistical analysis procedure forits interpretation. Four cases of institutionalized elderly people are presented and the scores obtained on subjective well-being for a period of a year to a year and a half are analysed. Time- series analysis shows a significant downward trend of subjective well-being in two of the four cases, and a similar trend in the satisfaction component of three of them. These trends may only seem subtle when identified during routine clinical checkups, but are clear when analysed with the appropriate statistical tools. The influence of several stressful events on the data is also analysed. As a conclusion, it can be said that a continuous register of subjective well-being and its components can disclose valuable information about situations and progress in the emotional development of elderly people and can successfully complement clinical exploration.

This investigation has aimed to discover the relationship between the incidence of anxiety symtomatology and the acculturation attitudes adopted by immigrant populations.For this purpose, a sample of 43 immigrants from the Province of Seville was taken, selected randomly from a range of immigrant associations. The sample comprised two diverse groups: Moroccans (17) and Latin-Americans (26). The information necessary for the study was gathered in personal interviews during which two questionaires were administered: the State/Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1988) and the Acculturation Attitudes Questionaire (Navas et al., 2004). The results obtained showed no significant relationship between anxiety (state and trait) and acculturation strategies. Nevertheless, a slight increase in the anxiety state of the Moroccan population was observed.

Authors: Alcina Romero Elena
Published: September 2024

In the present work there are exposed the most important characteristics relating to the catastrophic situations. These situations can be classified in three big groups, those caused by natural events (floods, earthquakes, etc), those taken place as consequence of technological accidents (explosion of boilers, nuclear accidents, etc) and finally the provoked ones directly for the man (terrorist acts, armed conflicts, etc). Among the most vulnerable groups in these situation, we can find: women; displaced, refugees and inmigrants; infantile and juvenile population; the group of elderly; the vulnerable subjects who suffer from previous psychic or physical dysfunction and lastly the subjects that carry out emergency works. With regards to psycho-social manifestations, there are approached to non pathological reactions, the most frequent psychic dysfunctions and the psycho-social problems in the infantile and juvenile population by group of ages. Lastly reference is made to the basic characteristics of intervention and the most appropiate approach to carry it out , being the mental health community.

Estilo atribucional en el espectro esquizofrénico
Authors: ESTEBARANZ RENDÓN Gloria
Published: September 2024

In this article we present a review of empirical studies into the attributional style in patients with schizophrenic disorders which have been published in the last fifteen years. Some of these investigations, irrespective of their diagnosis, have focused on the study of attributions in persons experiencing persecutory delusions. Others have centred on the attributional style of specific diagnostic categories, such as delusional disorder or schizophrenia. Because of the diversity of the samples studied, we have found contradictory results. On the other hand, all these investigations are transversal, which does not permit us to study the causal relationship between the attributional style and the appearance of psychotic symptoms. With future research in this area these limitations may be overcome.

Published: September 2024

In the present article, we describe the case of a professional basketball player who presents a decrease of his performance after suffering a panic attack. The excess of responsibility about his health, his performance and the wellness of the team are variables which can have a relationship in the suffering of the panic attack. We present the procedure used in which we evaluated the sportsmen’s state and worked with relaxation techniques, rationalizing irrational thoughts, stopping obsessive thoughts, exposing to fearing sensations and situations, and hardening positive aspects of the sportsmen and his performance. CITE AS:Ramírez Loeffler, P. & Rodríguez Vílchez, Z.

We present a study about bullying carried out in Hebron (Palestine). In the study is used the Olweus’ Bullies and Victims Questionnaire and show a description of bullying phenomena among Palestine’ teenagers. The sample is composed by 1492 students for primary and secondary education, 10-16 aged from urban and rural centres. The data shows similar incidence taxes than in occidental researches: 11,1% of victims, 9,5% of aggressors and 78,2% of bystanders. However, the data point out a higher amount of Palestine students who are exposed to violence as victims or/and aggresors, in comparison with occidental studies. In the same way, some tendencies are confirmed – those allows to characterize the bullying phenomenon – among Palestine students and are similar than founded among occidental students
El error A-no-B: múltiples teorías para un solo evento

Published: September 2024

We have carried out a review of the most important theories which have tried to approach the A-not-B error and we also present some empirical results. Besides the classical Piagetian perspective, we have also studied other theories, such as the connectionist one, the psychobiological one and the dynamic systems perspective. All of them take into consideration the active role of the individual, but they study these task solving processes differently.Our empirical results make us get closer to the psychobiological explanations which consider that A-not-B error is due to dysfunction of inhibitory processes. However, our results show that more specific studies are needed, which take into account not only neuropsychological and cognitive aspects, but also situational ones, that seem to take part in this complex system and, at the same time, would allow to find explanations in accordance to the empirical reality.

7º Congreso Bianual de la Sociedad Europea para la Investigación sobre la Adolescencia
Authors: Oliva Delgado Alfredo
Published: September 2024

La ciudad alemana de Jena acogió entre los días 31 de mayo y 4 de junio de 2000 el 7º Congreso de la Asociación Europea para la Investigación sobre la Adolescencia (EARA). Esta pequeña localidad situada en el estado federal de Turingia, que hasta hace poco más de una década formó parte de la República Democrática Alemana, posee una universidad centenaria y prestigiosa en cuyas aulas enseñaron Schiller y Goethe. Si tenemos en cuenta la importancia que estos autores, como impulsores del movimiento literario y espiritual alemán sturm und drang (tormenta y drama), tuvieron en la exaltación de la adolescencia como periodo singular y conflictivo, pocos escenarios podrían resultar más apropiados para acoger un congreso de estas características.
