Published: February 2025

Background and Aim: Root canal treatment (RCT) is considered as a painful procedure but is rendered as the most popular modality for any dental setting. The major concern for dental patients is the anxiety and pain encountered during RCT. The present study aimed to assess the patient’s perception regarding root canal treatment experience.

Materials and Methods: This questionnaire based analytical cross-sectional study was carried out on 156 patients who experienced root canal treatment in the Department of Dentistry of a Tertiary Care Hospital of Lahore, Pakistan from January 2022 to December 2022. Respondents were given the opportunity to evaluate their feelings about the endodontic treatment both prior to and following the procedure. Demographic details, pain, anxiety associated with questions, and concern about RCT were recorded on a pre-validated questionnaire. Pre and post-test scores were compared using paired t-tests.

Results: Out of the total 156 patients, there were 92 (59%) male and 64 (41%) female study participants. The overall mean age of male and female subjects was 22.48 ± 12.68 and 27.52 ± 8.32 years respectively. The current study analyzed the patient's anxiety level, which was shown to be considerably lowering from pre-treatment values of 30.54 ± 14.86 to post-treatment values of 22.32 ± 12.84 respectively. Similarly, the mean predicted and experienced pain score decreased dramatically from that of pre-treatment value of 40.12 ± 22.42 to 20.88 ± 14.46 post-treatment value.

Conclusion: The present study found a substantial decrease in the mean anxiety score for RCT post-treatment. Furthermore, with the treatment, there was a considerable difference between predicted and realized pain. Prior to treatment, a considerable proportion of patients were unconcerned about RCT, rather the majority of patients were anxious about the pain associated with it (RCT).

Background: Identifying acute ischemic stroke (AIS) risk factors is crucial in risk stratification and prevention measures. Here, we conducted a gender-based analysis of AIS in resource-limited settings.

Method: This retrospective study included 80 AIS patients (40 male and 40 female) who were admitted to Al-Thora General Hospital in Ibb, Yemen, between June and September 2023. Clinical characteristics and laboratory findings were obtained from patient medical records. Univariate analyses were conducted by analyzing factors associated with AIS between different genders using odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results: The mean age of females and males were 55.5 ± 17.6 years and 67.2 ± 12.4 years, respectively. According to the results of the univariate analysis, the following factors were statistically significant predictors of stroke in males: age >60 years (OR: 9.06; 95% CI: 2.11–63.31, p = 0.008), history of hypertension (OR: 3.78; 95% CI: 1.34–11.84, p = 0.024), active smoking (OR: 9.00; 95% CI: 3.39–26.00, p < 0.001), Khat chewing (OR:12.67; 95% CI: 3.23–84.73, p = 0.001), history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (OR: 5.67; 95% CI: 2.04–17.71, p = 0.001), and severe stroke as measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (OR: 3.84; 95% CI: 1.18–14.16, p = 0.032). In contrast, shortened activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) =28.4 seconds (OR: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.08–0.56, p = 0.002) was statistically significantly associated with AIS in women.

Conclusion: Our study reveals that males aged over 60 years were at a higher risk of experiencing strokes, particularly those with a history of hypertension, smoking, Khat chewing, CVD, and severe scores on the NIHSS. Conversely, females with shorter APTTs (≤28.4 seconds) were more vulnerable. Effective preventive measures and risk management can prevent the occurrence of most AIS, particularly in environments with limited resources.

Abstract
Background: Background: Children in Yemen face significant risks of environmental violence due to socio-political instability and lack of resources. This study evaluates the incidence, types, and risk factors of environmental violence-related injuries among children in the Al-Wahdah Teaching Hospital, Yemen. Methods: Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 151 children under 18 years was conducted. Data collection included structured questionnaires addressing demographics, injury types, injury sites, and associated risk factors. Data were collected over six months (January–June 2023) from 151 children under 18 years presenting to Al-Wahdah Teaching Hospital, Thamar University, Yemen. Sociodemographic, injury-related, and socioeconomic variables were analyzed using SPSS. Results: Most children were male (77.5%) with a predominant age range of 10–14 years (34.4%). Road traffic accidents (38.4%) were the leading injury cause, particularly among older children, followed by falls (28.5%) and burns (6%). Injuries predominantly occurred on public roads (52.3%), with urban areas (49.7%) and low-income households (68.2%) disproportionately affected. Most parents lacked formal education (54.3%), underscoring socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Significant associations were found between injury type and socio-economic factors (p < 0.001). Also, Statistical significance (p<0.05) highlighted associations between injury types, age groups, and environmental factors.
Conclusion: Environmental violence significantly impacts children, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. Road safety, urban planning, and poverty alleviation emerge as critical intervention targets to reduce the Environmental violence that significantly impacts children These findings advocate for child-sensitive public health strategies in conflict settings and prioritization of environmental safety in humanitarian and policy responses to mitigate preventable injuries and their long-term physical consequences.

Effect on Synthesis and Characterization of Optical and Magnetic Behavior of Fe-doped Copper Oxide nanoparticles
Authors: Mahalakshmi B. , Sivakumar S. , Manikandan E. , Ravichandran A.T.
Published: February 2025

A simple and cost-effective technique was used in the synthesis of pure and Fe doped CuO nanoparticles. We have synthesized via chemical precipitation method and studied the effect of Fe-doping on the optical and magnetic properties with their bacterial efficacy. X-rays diffraction (XRD) patterns also suggest that by increasing the Fe content the size of the nanoparticles decreases there by improving the crystallinity. The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) measurements suggest a diameter of 29.8 nm for the as synthesized undoped nanoparticles; however Fe doping increases the diameters to 22.9 nm. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed that CuO and Fe-doped CuO nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by chemical route. These observations are consistent with the steady-state photoluminescence measurements where a decrease in the emission intensity from deep defect states has been observed for Fe-doped CuO nanoparticles. UV-visible absorption studies suggest a band gap of ~2.6 eV for CuO NPs. Moreover, by increasing the Fe dopant content a blue shift of 300 meV has been observed due to the Burstein-Moss effect. This review summarizes the methods for the preparation of iron oxide NPs, size and morphology control, and magnetic properties with recent bioengineering, commercial, and industrial applications. Iron oxides exhibit great potential in the fields of life sciences such as biomedicine, agriculture, and environment.

The Virgin Mary's Essence in New Spanish Song
Authors: Feller-Simmons Paul G. , Favila Cesar D.
Published: February 2025

This edition features thirteen villancicos transcribed from the Sánchez Garza Collection held in Mexico City’s Centro Nacional de Investigación, Documentación e Información Musical Carlos Chávez (CENIDIM). Their publication provides ensembles music for performance that was originally notated for and performed by women, in this case the nuns of Puebla’s Santísima Trinidad convent. This convent was founded in the seventeenth century in colonial Mexico (New Spain) and left behind the largest collection of women’s notated music from New Spain. The novel organization of this edition, featuring villancicos for various Marian feasts, highlights the Virgin Mary’s life as an exciting narrative possibility for contemporary ensembles. In addition, because seventeenth- and eighteenth-century music from the Ibero-American world remains marginalized in US American early music performance circles, this edition heeds the global turn in music history deliberately to consider the musical legacies of the European imperial endeavor outside of Europe.

Le Nord vs. Norden: Дипломатия Российской империи и образы (пан)скандинавского Севера (1809—1848)
Authors: Егоров Е.
Published: February 2025

В статье анализируется динамика восприятия скандинавского Севера дипломатическими агентами Российской империи на протяжении первой половины XIX века. Автор фокусируется на двух периодах: эпохе Наполеоновских войн и периоде с 1830-х по конец 1840-х годов. Первый этап характеризуется сближением между Александром I и наследным принцем Карлом Юханом (Жан-Батистом Бернадотом). Этот союз получил идеологическое оформление в рамках концепции общего Севера, le Nord. Второй этап стал эпохой «открытия» российскими дипломатами другой северности — Norden — как пространства публичной политики и идей о скандинавской унии.

The article analyzes the dynamics of Russian diplomatic perception of the Scandinavian North during the first half of the 19th century. The author focuses on two periods: the era of the Napoleonic Wars and the period from the 1830s to the late 1840s. The first stage is characterized by a rapprochement between Alexander I and Crown Prince Karl Johan (Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte). This collaboration was ideologically manifested by the framework of the common North, le Nord. The second stage was the era of the imperial “discovery” of another Nordicness (Norden) as a space of the broadened political participation and ideas about the Scandinavian union.
«Страна мужчин»: образы фемининности и маскулинности в нефтегазовом освоении Западной Сибири 1960—1970х годов
Authors: Пядухова Д.
Published: February 2025

Статья посвящена образам фемининности и маскулинности в официальном советском дискурсе на раннем этапе нефтегазового освоения Западной Сибири. Вскрываемые значения мужественности и женственности рассматриваются не как абстрактные штампы советской пропаганды, но как важный структурный механизм, публично конструировавший границы субъективности первооткрывателей «большой нефти». Автором делается вывод о неравноправности нормативных моделей фемининности и маскулинности в нефтегазовом комплексе, которая отражала нетипичность условий и социальных отношений в исследуемом историкоантропологическом контексте. Предлагаемые тезисы связаны с дискуссией о кризисе маскулинности в позднем СССР.

The article is devoted to the images of femininity and masculinity in the official Soviet discourse at the early stage of the oil and gas development of Western Siberia. The revealed meanings of masculinity and femininity are considered not as abstract stamps of Soviet propaganda, but as an important structural mechanism that publicly constructed the boundaries of subjectivity of the discoverers of “big oil”. The author concludes that normative models of femininity and masculinity in the oil and gas complex were unequal, which reflected the atypical conditions and social relations in the historical and anthropological context under study. The research theses enter into a scientific discussion about the crisis of masculinity in the late USSR.
В переводе на живопись
Authors: Фоменко А.
Published: February 2025

Живописный цикл Владимира Дубосарского «Нижегородская резьба» (2014—2019) отличается от более ранних работ художника, созданных в соавторстве с Александром Виноградовым. Если дуэт сделал своим методом циничную и эклектичную апроприацию знаков массовой культуры, указывавшую на отказ художников от личного вкуса во имя универсальной безвкусицы, то в основу «Нижегородской резьбы» положен личный выбор, не обусловленный «выбором большинства». Это образцы так называемой глухой, или долбленой, резьбы XIX века. Важную роль в этой идентификации с предметами народной культуры играет «посредник» — репродукции из советского альбома, посвященного этой традиции. Другими словами, «темой» картин Дубосарского служат не только рельефы, но и их фотографическое и полиграфическое воспроизведение — ряд переводов исходного мотива, образующих трансмедиальную траекторию, в которую включается живописный перевод.

Vladimir Dubosarsky’s painting cycle Nizhny Novgorod Carving (2014—2019) differs from the artist’s earlier work that was created in collaboration with Aleksandr Vinogradov. If the duo made their method a cynical and eclectic appropriation of symbols of mass culture, indicating the artists’ rejection of personal taste in the name of universal bad taste, then the basis of Nizhny Novgorod Carving is personal choice that is not driven by the “choice of majority.” An important role in this identification with objects of folk culture is played by the “intermediary” — reproductions from a Soviet album dedicated to this tradition. In other words, the “theme” of Dubosarvsky’s paintings is not only the reliefs, but also their photographic and printed reproductions — a series of translations of the original motifs, which form a transmedial trajectory in which the painted translation is included.
Guilty pleasure, или Риторика танца в советском кино: 1930е годы
Authors: Вьюгин В.
Published: February 2025

Статья посвящена танцу в советском кино 1930-х годов. В ней рассматривается период формирования «соцреалистического канона», начало которого, как считается, приблизительно совпадает с появлением в СССР звуковых фильмов. На основе анализа ряда популярных лент, таких как «Путевка в жизнь» Н.В Экка, комедии Г.В. Александрова «Веселые ребята», «Цирк» и «Волга-Волга», а также некоторых других, в ней реконструируется «базовый хореографический сюжет» советского кино времени правления И.В. Сталина. Танец в кино рассматривается в работе, с одной стороны, как часть сюжета, а с другой — как автономный аттракцион и во многих случаях как своего рода guilty pleasure.

My paper deals with dance in the Soviet cinema of the 1930s. I focus on the period of formation of the socialist realist canon the beginning of which roughly coincides, as it is believed, with the coming of sound in the Soviet film industry. By discussing such popular films as Nikolai Ekk’s Road to Life, Grigori Aleksandrov’s comedies Jolly Fellows, Circus, Volga-Volga, and several others, I seek to reconstruct a “choreographic master plot” characteristic of Soviet cultural production of this type under Joseph Stalin. I see the dance in films as a part of the plot but also as a special attraction and in many cases a guilty pleasure.
Understanding the Role of the Nigerian Police Force Gender Unit in Addressing Violence Against Women in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Authors: OYINLOYE Olaoluwa Babatunde A. , AGUNBIADE Feyisayo
Published: February 2025

Violence against Women is one of the most widespread violations of basic human rights. Most researchers emphasize on the problem of GBV, its causes and what ought to be done in eradicating it. Although some of these suggestions such as; the creation of a Police Gender Desk among others, have been put in place, the question as to their effectiveness and whether or not they are functioning according to their mandate is yet to be answered. Objectives: the study identified the mandate of the Nigerian Police Force Gender Unit; examined the nature and dynamics of VAW cases handled by the Gender Unit of Ekiti State Police Command and examined the effectiveness and challenges of the Gender Unit of Ekiti State Police Command in handling VAW cases. Methods: The researcher employed a case study research design. The researcher interviewed a total number of 13 key informants. Content analysis and Narrative analysis were used to analyse data. Findings: It showed that there was no clearly defined mandate specifically for the Gender Unit. It was also discovered that majority of the cases were rape and defilement while domestic violence was the least reported case. This study suggested that the Gender Unit environment was not conducive for VAW cases because the survivor’s privacy was not upheld. Conclusion: The Gender Unit might not be effective on its own. The approach should be holistic and involve all actors. The response should include referring the individual survivors for specialized services such as psycho-social support, medical attention, and legal representation among others. Members of community and local system should also be sensitized for effective prevention of VAW. With the networking of all these actors, VAW would be effectively addressed. There is also need for improvements in terms of the professionalism of the officers at the Gender Unit.

Rethinking Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in the Collective Bargaining Process in Nigeria
Authors: ADAMS Adeola
Published: February 2025

This paper focuses primarily on conflict management process by appraising negotiation, mediation and arbitration as practiced by the industrial sector or trade unions in Nigeria today. First, the paper appraised the practice of collective bargaining process in Nigeria and argues that there is undue focus on the use of arbitration for settling industrial disputes, despite its obvious shortcomings. Second, the paper identifies some important values of collective bargaining shared with mediation. These core values include voluntariness, neutrality/impartiality, confidentiality, empowerment, mutual respect, democracy and interdependence. Thus, it is advocated that mediation, a more flexible process should be properly integrated and mainstreamed as a preferred tool of collective bargaining processes in trade disputes. The paper further suggests the adoption of hybrid processes such as MedArb or Arb-Med as the situation may dictate in the collective search for stability, peace and harmony in the workplace and the society at large. The data collected for this paper were derived mainly from secondary sources. Hence, the paper relied more on books, journals, monographs, conference/seminars papers and official documents of the Federal Government on National Employment Policy. Internet sources and other materials that are relevant to the theme of the paper were equally utilised. The collected data were subsequently reviewed thoroughly and content analysed.
Assessment of the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Nigeria
Authors: ADEDEJI Oluwatosin Bethel
Published: February 2025

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria generates 95% of export earnings and about 40% of the Nigerian government revenue (IMF). This region was known for its calmness and peacefulness until the discovery of oil in the Oloibiri community, Ogbia Local Government Area of present-day Bayelsa State in 1956. The discovery and exploration of oil in the Niger Delta region gave birth to the destruction of the environment, livelihood and agitation for resource control and the development of the region. The continued neglect of the environment by the government and the oil companies coupled with the rise in unemployment and youth restiveness gave birth to militant groups that killed, kidnapped and vandalised oil installations. The Nigerian government in response to the plight of the Niger Delta people introduced the amnesty programme in 2009. This research work, therefore, assesses the Niger Delta amnesty programme in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. It further assesses the extent to which the amnesty programme has addressed the root causes of the Niger Delta crisis. The study adopted a descriptive research design (qualitative method), using both primary and secondary data collection. The theory of change and utilization-focused evaluation is used for the study. The findings of this research established that the amnesty programme has not fully addressed the root causes of the Niger Delta conflict. Given this, for the amnesty programme to be effective, the government should make provisions for employment and social amenities in the Niger Delta region.
