Objetivo: Identificar el plano terminal más frecuente en pacientes de3 a 5 años de la clínica de Odontopediatría de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Guayaquil durante el primer semestre del 2024 Método: Estudio de tipo descriptivo, observacional y transversal, la muestra estuvo conformada de 148 historias clínicas que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión, las variables estudiadas fueron prevalencia de planos terminales, edad y sexo. Resultados: Al evaluar los planos terminales se reporta la mayor frecuencia del plano terminal recto con 53 % en ambos lados, seguido del escalón mesial con 39% y finalmente el escalón distal con 8%. Con relación a la edad se observó que el plano terminal recto fue la relación molar predominante en ambos lados derecho e izquierdo a la edad de 4 años con una prevalencia del 27.02% y 25.67% respectivamente, El escalón mesial derecho a los 5 años con un 17,56%, mientras que el escalón mesial izquierdo predominó a los 4 años con igual porcentaje 17,56%. Por otro lado, el escalón distal presentó una mayor prevalencia a los 5 años en ambos lados con 5,4%. Según el sexo el plano más prevalente fue el recto en el masculino.  Conclusiones:  Dada las características de la relación molar temporal, esto permite predecir la vía de erupción y la relación molar permanente.
Estudio comparativo del efecto antimicrobiano entre NaClO y la clorhexidina en Endodoncia
Authors: Rosado Guzmán María Belén , Guerrero Verdelli Davina
Published: October 2024

El éxito del tratamiento endodóntico depende en gran medida del uso adecuado de irrigantes para lograr una limpieza completa de los conductos radiculares. Los irrigantes deben cumplir con ciertos requisitos para ser utilizados en la práctica endodóntica, incluyendo tener una acción amplia contra los microorganismos, degradar los restos de tejido orgánico e inorgánico, bloquear las endotoxinas, ser seguros para los tejidos periodontales y no causar hipersensibilidad. Objetivo: Contrastar la diferencia entre el hipoclorito de sodio 5.25% y la clorhexidina al 0,12% como agente de irrigación bactericida en Endodoncia. Materiales y Métodos: investigación de enfoque transversal, tipo cuantitativa, cualitativa, exploratoria y documental, con una muestra de 20 piezas dentarias a las cuales se aplica las 2 sustancias irrigadoras. Resultados: estos sugieren que el hipoclorito de sodio es el irrigante más citotóxico, lo que puede desencadenar una reacción de dolor e inflamatoria inmediata. La clorhexidina también es un irrigante endodóntico comúnmente utilizado que se ha demostrado que tiene cierta citotoxicidad. En cambio, el ácido etilendiaminotetraacético (EDTA) y el ácido cítrico se consideran más biocompatibles y menos citotóxicos. Además, se encontró que algunos extractos naturales, como los de la planta de té verde, también pueden ser efectivos como irrigantes endodónticos y tener una menor citotoxicidad en comparación con los irrigantes químicos convencionales. Conclusión: Las dos soluciones irrigadoras tanto el NaCIO como el Gluconato de Clorhexidina, muestran efectos antimicrobianos significativos en la endodoncia. Ambas soluciones tienen la capacidad y eficacia de eliminar bacterias y otros microorganismos presentes en el sistema de conductos radiculares.

Authors: Quirke Trudy , D. Sleator Roy
Published: October 2024

In view of the recent progress in genomics and next-generation sequencing technologies, we consider here their contribution toward neurological disorders. We describe the revolutionary impact that whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing have had on diagnostics and the identification of important genetic loci associated with a range of disorders. Neurological disorders affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems are complex, both in diagnosis and treatment. Herein we show that by applying multiomic tools to assist researchers in identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic approaches, the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of these disorders can be significantly improved.

Published: October 2024

A transformação das relações de trabalho, impulsionada pela Revolução Digital e pela Indústria 4.0, trouxe profundas mudanças nas dinâmicas laborais, com destaque para o fenômeno da "uberização". Inicialmente marcado pelo uso de aplicativos móveis para serviços sob demanda, o modelo de uberização ganhou notoriedade com a Uber e se expandiu para diversas áreas no Brasil a partir de 2014. A pandemia da Covid-19 acelerou a adoção de plataformas digitais, expondo desafios como a precarização do trabalho e a falta de proteção social. Este estudo revela que a uberização evoluiu para um modelo de plataformas digitais mais complexas, que não apenas mediam, mas também gerenciam o trabalho de forma integrada e descentralizada. Essa evolução trouxe à tona novos desafios para os trabalhadores e redefiniu o papel das empresas e consumidores nas relações laborais. Conclui-se que é essencial repensar a regulamentação e a proteção dos direitos dos trabalhadores nesta nova era digital para promover um ambiente de trabalho mais justo e equilibrado.

Objective:  To evaluate the effectiveness of behavior therapy and family-based dietary intervention for overweight schoolchildren. Methods: This is a pragmatic clinical trial. The intervention was carried out in a secondary care center with parent-child dyads attending the selected school. The children were overweight and aged between 5 and 12 years. They participated in 12 nutritional counseling sessions. One arm received non-directive nutritional counseling (NDC) and the other arm received directive nutritional counseling (DC) with a dietary intervention. The main outcomes evaluated were body mass index (BMI)/age, food intake, and eating behaviors. Comparisons between groups were made at baseline and at the end of the interventions using the Mann-Whitney U test. Intragroup differences were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and Fisher's exact test or McNemar test analysis. Results: The DC arm showed a reduction in the eating behaviors of "desire to drink" and "emotional undereating" after the interventions. In addition, the frequency of fruit consumption by the caregiver was reduced. Conclusions: It was possible to provide nutritional care based on changes in eating behavior and dietary guidance using a menu. There is a need for specific training for nutritionists. In DC, there were changes in eating behaviors in favor of a reduction in food intake. There was no significant difference in the outcomes of BMI changes.

The road towards implementation of biologic dose reduction in psoriasis care
Authors: van der Sloot Lara Sophie
Published: October 2024

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Biologics are available for people living with severe psoriasis. Previous research indicated that reducing the dosage of these biologics is possible without losing good treatment effects. This thesis further investigated the implementation of biologic dose reduction. We found that patients are concerned about psoriasis worsening due to dose reduction. Returning to the standard dose in case of disease worsening is an important option for patients. Most patients who returned to the standard dose achieved good treatment effects again. Additionally, this thesis demonstrated that healthcare providers already applied dose reduction but in varied ways. Time constraints hindered the implementation of dose reduction. Protocols, educational resources for healthcare providers, and available staff for patient guidance can aid implementation of dose reduction in daily practice.

Published: October 2024

The community structure, tree diversity and physicochemical properties of soil of the West Gangetic Moist Mixed Deciduous Forest have been studied on four different slope aspects, viz., North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West in the foothill region of Garhwal Himalaya. The northern aspects were species rich, well stocked and dense as compared to southern aspects. However, Garuga pinnata (TBC = 19.27 m2/ha and tree volume = 2034.7 m3/ha) and Lagerstroemia parviflora (TBC = 14.34 m2/ha and tree volume = 1298.5 m3/ha) were the single dominant species on the SE and SW aspects respectively. The lowest concentration of dominance value (0.2517) was observed on the NW aspect, where maximum diversity (2.1239) persisted, on the other hand highest cd value (0.3646) was recorded on the SE aspect, where minimum diversity (1.5164) existed. The soil was almost neutral (pH ranged from 6.5 to 7.3) in these forests with maximum organic carbon (average 1.19±0.56%) and available nitrogen (average 0.576±0.868%) contents prevalent on SE aspect.
AI-driven solutions for sustainable E-Waste Management: Reducing Environmental Impact on Natural Ecosystems
Authors: Gahlot Nandini , Nautiyal Om
Published: October 2024

The negative implication on the environment and health caused by electronic waste (e-waste) is increasing and brings the need for an approach that is both creative and sustainable. The aim of this research work is to examine how artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied in waste management, recycling, and raising awareness, in order to improve the ecological outlook by reducing electronic waste’s harmful effects through further automated processes. Specific aims include exploring novel AI technologies for the e-waste sorting, predicting its mount, and optimizing the recycling processes for targeted materials. The study also tackles the issues of lack of integration of AI solutions in e-waste management, which are resource and cost limitation, and reasons for undertaking such a task to address environmental concerns. Analyze the whole research capacity to prevent isolation of e-waste management to e-waste disposal and encourage active involvement in the ongoing campaigns for environment sustainability.
Pythagorean Neutrosophic Bonferroni Mean Based Machine Learning Model for Data Analytics and Sentiment Classification of Product Reviews
Authors:   Department of Data Science, School of Computers, Umm Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia, Donia Donia
Published: October 2024

To handle incomplete and indeterminate data, neutrosophic logicsetprobability was recognized. The neutrosophic falsehood, truth, and indeterminacy modules show symmetry as the truth and the falsehood appear the similar and perform in a symmetrical method with esteem to the indeterminacy module which aids as a line of the symmetry. Soft set is a general mathematical device to deal with uncertainty. Sentiment analysis (SA) is the foremost task of natural language processing (NLP), where judgments, opinions, thoughts, or attitudes toward an exact subject are removed. Web is a rich foundation of information and unstructured covering numerous text documents with reviews and opinions. The detection of sentiment will be useful for governments, discrete business groups, and decision-makers. With this motivation, this study develops a Data Analytics Framework for Sentiment Classification Using Pythagorean Neutrosophic Bonferroni Mean (DAFSC-PNBM) technique on Product Reviews. The presented DAFSC-PNBM technique mainly aims to determine the nature of sentiments based on product reviews. Primarily, data preprocessing is performed to increase the product review qualities. For the word embedding process, word2vec model is used. Besides, the DAFSC-PNBM model uses the Pythagorean Neutrosophic Bonferroni Mean (PNBM) technique for classification. To enhance the SA performance of the PNBM model, the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) model has been applied as a hyperparameter tune process. The experimentation outcome analysis of the DAFSC-PNBM method occurs and the outcomes are investigated under several features. The experimental study indicated the improvement of the DAFSC-PNBM method across the modern techniques
Action of Crossed Modules and Bar Construction
Authors: Ceyran Emrah , Ulualan Erdal
Published: October 2024

If a group $N$ acts on a set $X$, a simplicial set $Bar(X,N)$ using the usual bar construction has been provided. In this construction, if the group $N$ acts on a group $G$ via a homomorphism $f:N\rightarrow G$, then $Bar(G,N)$ has a simplicial set structure. In the case of $f$ has a crossed module structure, $Bar(G,N)$ has a normal simplicial group structure. In this work, by defining an action of a crossed module $\partial: N_1 \longrightarrow X_1$ on a homomorphism of groups $f: N_2 \longrightarrow X_2 $ via a double map $\alpha: \partial\rightarrow f$, we will construct a bisimplicial set, using the 2-dimensional version of the usual Bar construction.
A learning design methodology to foster and support creativity in design
Authors: Conole Gráinne , Cross Simon , Brasher Andrew , Weller Martin , Nixon Stewart , Clark Paul
Published: October 2024

This paper describes a project that is exploring the development and use of a learning design methodology. It summarises issues associated with trying to formalise and represent the design process which has emerged from our work to date, and relates this to similar findings in the literature. It describes work to date and in particular the iterative development of a prototype learning design system, CompendiumLD, to help designers/teachers create and share learning activities. Our goal is to build on recent research on learning design to develop a learning design methodology that provides support in the course design process with an emphasis on the use of technology-enhanced learning. This includes elicitation of current practice in design, identification of relevant resources and development of a prototype learning design tool. We believe it will be of interest and use to individual teachers and course teams, but also others involved in the design process tasked with helping course teams translate their ideas into technical solutions. We are adopting an iterative methodology focusing on two areas of activity in parallel: a) capturing and representing practice – through user consultation and case studies and b) supporting learning design – through the development of an online tool and associated workshops. Activities have included user consultation, collation of case studies of learning activities, interviews with teachers about the design process and in-depth evaluation of courses. A set of learning design resources and tools have been collated and a prototype learning design tool developed and trialled. We selected Compendium as the initial starting point for our learning design prototype, for a number of reasons: ease of use, flexibility, adaptability, supports the creation of a range of visual mapping techniques, and comes with a predefined set of icons. Figure one represents a screen shot of learning design in Compendium; two roles are shown, along with their respective tasks. Tools, resources and outputs (i.e. assets) associated with each task are shown alongside, with arrows indicating connections. Evaluation of initial versions of the tool suggested that it help users to articulate and share their design process. We are now in the second phase of the project. This includes further development of the tool to include contextual help and scaffolding. We are also undertaking a series of interviews with teachers about the design process, an in-depth evaluation of design across a course process and a series of user workshops and focus groups. Our work to date has given us a richer understanding of the design process and associated issue; however it is clear that there is a need for further research – practitioners are crying out for examples of good practice and guidance in design.

Online Learning Groups Development
Authors: Crosta Lucilla , McConnell David
Published: October 2024

This paper is the result of an extract of a PhD study in Educational Research carried out at the Lancaster University (UK) between 2003 and 2007, in its conclusive stage. The intent of this work is that of describing and analysing through a comparative case study, how online learning groups may evolve into online learning communities. The contexts chosen were two respectively blended and online Master courses in education delivered in Italy and United Kingdom (UK). The former was a Master in Online Education and Training (MOET) run by the Bocconi University in Milan, the latter a Master in Education (MEd) run by the Lancaster University.
The Research involved the collection of a huge amount of qualitative data and the use of Grounded Theory Approach for the analysis of the text messages exchanged in the designated course forums. Seven and four online groups were respectively studied both as participant observer (online tutor) and as non-participant observer. The four months Assessment forums of workshop One of the MEd were analysed together with six months forums of the MOET .
The paper will present at first some theorization about online learning group development and design, it will then illustrate the characteristics of this study and then its final findings and comparisons as the result of one year work. This research lead to the production of several categories and key elements virtual group development related such as: tutoring, collaboration, autonomy, technological anxiety, social relationship, assessment, developmental stage, significant facts and major agreement. The different combination and degree of intensity of each category defined in their turn, three different Online Group Developmental Model such as: Product-Oriented-Model; Product/Process-Oriented-Model and Process-Oriented-Model. The characteristics of each Model are clearly described and discussed in the paper.
The theory Building process at the basis of this study involved the construction of categories respecting at the same time, the uniqueness of each groups and the complexity of reality. The final discussion will lead to the conclusion on how both the context and the course design played significant influences on both the degree of collaboration and autonomy reached by the groups and their evolution into online learning communities. Each group developmental process is then the result of a complex mix of different influential factors.

This poster is part of the Symposium organised by Demosthenes Stamatis and Theodoros Kargidis
Virtual laboratory tools have been introduced a long time ago. Such tools have been used into the learning procedure in order to help students to increase their performance through a user friendly tool that stimulates them on their study. Additionally, when the high cost of hardware replacement and maintenance is put in contrast to the flexibility of adding new subjects on a laboratory course the virtual laboratory environment tools render a power tool for educational purposes. Statistics show that students do not spend adequate time preparing for an upcoming laboratory module, thus new methodologies and software have recently been developed and offered to students in order to increase their performance in laboratory modules. In this work a virtual laboratory environment that was built is described, discussed and evaluated. The software deals with the laboratory assignments of Semiconductor Physics. Semiconductor Physics was chosen since it is a first year module that is not connected to any background knowledge the students should be familiar with. The evaluation was made by providing the software to some of the students and comparing their performance with the corresponding performance of the students that had no access to the software. It is concluded that the software tool that was provided to the students before taking the laboratory increased their performance. It was also observed that this tool mainly serves weaker students since, according to the evaluation tests, they are mainly helped to achieve a pass score.
Symposium 9: Researching Learning in Networked Learning – Phenomenography and Variation theory as empirical and theoretical approaches
Authors: Booth Shirley
Published: October 2024

Phenomenography and variation theory are presented as empirical and theoretical approaches to research on learning, in particular as applicable to networked learning. Their epistemological, ontological and methodological underpinnings are described. Three studies of relevance are described briefly, and used as examples for a discussion of the research questions that can be asked in empirical studies, the approaches to data collection and/or data generation, and analysis, and the presentation of results in wider frameworks that widen research possibilities. The questions are variants of “What is the qualitative variation of ways in which people experience some phenomenon they meet in their everyday lives?”, in higher education, generally applied to students and their experience of aspects of their study and learning. Learning is seen at an individual level, but empirical results are at a collective level; individuals contribute only fragments of the data that is to be analysed as a whole pool, and results are presented at the collective level of the pool. This paper can be seen as a comparison, a contrast and, possibly, a complement to the other two papers in the symposium which present approaches which are related directly to learning at the individual level and the social level, respectively.
Symposium 8: About PebblePad
Authors: Sutherland Shane
Published: October 2024

ePortfolios are purposeful collections of digital items presented to distributed audiences to present a view of the portfolio author commensurate with the perceived, or articulated, expectation of that audience. Increased eportfolio activity in the UK was largely driven by Personal Development Planning and is, more recently, being driven within and beyond Higher Education by Continuing Professional Development and Professional (Re)Accreditation.
Developing an understanding of the needs of eportfolio users, by reference to prior learning technology experience and direct user involvement, was an essential aspect of the design process which led to the creation and subsequent implementation of PebblePad which is now the most widely used eportfolio/personal learning system in UK HE.
The design, development and implementation stages PebblePad's evolution are discussed herein along with an exploration of a single system is able to be used by teachers and students alike for myriad purposes. It is the versatility of the system that led to its selection by the JISC-funded 'Flourish' project focussing upon staff use of an eportfolio to support their personal e-administration.
Symposium 12: Information Society Studies in Practice - a Networked Learning Case Study: Experiences of Teachers in NETIS project
Authors: Bessenyei István , Stoffa Veronika
Published: October 2024

Traditional centralised knowledge sharing in an eLearning environment with intensive communication and feedback tools lead to "traffic collapse". The solution can be a horizontal, networked communication between students, between specialists and students, and between institutions.
Participants in networked learning need information about the knowledge structure of each other. The problems are: in which way can we document and share the knowledge in the learning network? What kind of knowledge do we have? In which way can we register and document the prior learning experiment, the tacit knowledge? A possible solution can be the using of knowledge maps and e-portfolios as tools for knowledge sharing. The learning goals in form of sophisticated competence portfolios are helpful tools to manage the self organised learning process and the knowledge sharing in the learning network. The participants can check the competences on their own and steer the learning due to this self evaluation. To reach the given learning goals the course provided so called creative tasks for students.
The most difficult part of the project was to organise effective knowledge sharing between students and to involve other tutors and other student groups in a common learning environment.
The spread of new forms of learning also implies various potential conflicts. There are numerous signs that the new forms of informal network learning can only be fitted into the narrow, bureaucratically controlled framework of traditional institutions that are limited in time and resources, with great difficulty. The pedagogical debate concerning this issue often goes in the wrong direction, because the discussion is between two incompatible conceptual worlds. The linear model and the eLearning 2.0 are two different worlds with different logic and different ideas. An important question of the coming period will be that how the institutions of the official school system will accept this phenomenon. To what extent will the institutions integrate this new logic, and what types of conflicts, compromises and solutions will this process result in?

Medium of Instruction: The Context of Primary, Secondary and Higher Secondary Level in Bangladesh
Authors: Akter Moumita
Published: October 2024

Medium of instruction (MoI) has turned into a matter of dispute in post-colonial societies for various conditions, such as favoring foreign languages over local or native tongues, enacting monolingual laws in multilingual communities, and creating inconsistencies between education policies and practices.  This study aims to give a critical overview of MoI policies and practices from primary to higher secondary levels and their social, economic, and cultural effects in Bangladesh. The study employed a systematic literature review approach as part of secondary research. The study finds Bangla as a medium of instruction (BMI) by de jure and English as a medium of instruction (EMI) by de facto, which results in a remarkable inconsistency between MoI policies and its existing practices in the education sector. The further notable finding suggests that the mismatch between MoI policies and its practices leads to a disparate education structure and, eventually, a stratified society marked by inequalities, social hierarchies, marginalization, and so on. More importantly, the inequalities characterized by MoI practices are twofold: on the one hand, EMI is a source of division and inequalities for the Bangla-medium students, and on the other, BMI acts similarly when it comes to ethnic minority students.
I Did Something Stupid When I was a Teenager
Authors: Van Eyk Taylor
Published: October 2024

First Nations, Metis, and Inuit ways of knowing have always drawn knowledge from the land and the internal realms of self or feeling to guide and heal. Teenage self-harm and turmoil resulting from the generational trauma of colonialism serve as a reflexive case study for understanding how Anishinaabe ideologies around land-based well-being are applicable in the instances following an overdose. This project is an interpretive phenomenological analysis of a reflexive recount of the author’s overdose as an urban Anishinaabe teenager. Utilizing First Nation’s theories and teachings on land-based wellbeing as a framework, this text unpacks the unexplained events of an overdose with Anishinaabe worldviews in mind. Storytelling techniques such as self and situational reflection are used to communicate data (the experience) in a creative way unconventional to colonial research structures, and better aligned with the author’s ancestral practices. This is a creative project in self-reflection, trauma exploration through Indigenous frameworks, and communication removed from colonial conventions. This project serves as illuminating towards urban Indigenous challenges which acts as a case for understanding Anishinaabe knowledge of self thrivance.
Indigenized Leisure and Data Colonialist Systems
Authors: Van Eyk Taylor
Published: October 2024

Social media sites and the opportunities they advertise are often promoted as facilitating community connection, creativity, and listening with others. Many facets and descriptors of social media opportunities can be related to First Nations’ understanding of what comprises wellness and leisure. With this in mind, many Indigenous users may partake in social media with the expectation of a primarily leisurely online experience that would contribute to an individual’s health and wellness. Couldry and Mejias’ (2019) concept of ‘data colonialism’ frames the purpose of online spaces such as the social media platforms TikTok, Instagram, and X (Twitter) as having a very different goal, one removed from leisure or where leisure is nothing more than a symptom of data collection efforts. This digital auto-ethnographic project, assisted by discourse analysis, utilizes the researcher’s Anishinaabe identity markers through site profiles to gather data which explores whether or not social media sites are truly a space of leisure for First Nation’s users under ‘data colonialism.’ This project finds a clash in data collection functions and online community opportunities, which renders Indigenized leisure within the digital space a fallacy. In council with teachings from Velkova and Kaun’s (2021) article Algorithmic Resistance: Media Practices and the Politics of Repair and Wemigwans’ (2018) A Digital Bundle; Protecting and Promoting Indigenous Knowledge Online, this project looks to the future, discussing the manipulation of social media affordances towards a true online wellness space for Indigenous users.
