Published: September 2021

The United States Constitution grants Americans the “right to a speedy and public trial,” with an assumption that the trial is impartial and fair. Recent data suggest a nontrivial number of cases fail to meet this standard. During interrogations, suspects can be presented with false evidence, long interrogations can undermine a suspect’s cognitive ability, and minimization tactics often mislead suspects into believing justice is on their side. These dynamics facilitate false confessions and wrongful convictions, which are common in the United States and globally. We argue that the current approaches to understand and predict innocence in legal cases are insufficient and interdisciplinary research is required to prevent innocent people from going to jail. In this review, we cover research on wrongful convictions and false confessions, ending with The Truth Project (www.truth-project.io), a new global framework to connect scholars and facilitate research into behavioral patterns of innocence.

Theoretical and Empirical Modeling of Identity and Sentiments in Collaborative Groups (THEMIS.COG) was an interdisciplinary research collaboration of computer scientists and social scientists from the University of Waterloo (Canada), Potsdam University of Applied Sciences (Germany), and Dartmouth College (USA). This white paper summarizes the results of our research at the end of the grant term. Funded by the Trans-Atlantic Platform’s Digging Into Data initiative, the project aimed at theoretical and empirical modeling of identity and sentiments in collaborative groups. Understanding the social forces behind self-organized collaboration is important because technological and social innovations are increasingly generated through informal, distributed processes of collaboration, rather than in formal organizational hierarchies or through market forces. Our work used a data-driven approach to explore the social psychological mechanisms that motivate such collaborations and determine their success or failure. We focused on the example of GitHub, the world’s current largest digital platform for open, collaborative software development. In contrast to most, purely inductive contemporary approaches leveraging computational techniques for social science, THEMIS.COG followed a deductive, theory-driven approach. We capitalized on affect control theory, a mathematically formalized theory of symbolic interaction originated by sociologist David R. Heise and further advanced in previous work by some of the THEMIS.COG collaborators, among others. Affect control theory states that people control their social behaviours by intuitively attempting to verify culturally shared feelings about identities, social roles, and behaviour settings. From this principle, implemented in computational simulation models, precise predictions about group dynamics can be derived. It was the goal of THEMIS.COG to adapt and apply this approach to study the GitHub collaboration ecosystem through a symbolic interactionist lens. The project contributed substantially to the novel endeavor of theory development in social science based on large amounts of naturally occurring digital data.

Published: September 2021

Introduction: Despite evidence from numerous studies that document the association between risky sexual behaviors (RSBs) and behaviors driving them, few had investigated the trends of the association over time, which was the objective of this study.Methods: A total of 61,072 students from four Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS) survey years (1993, 2001, 2009, and 2017) were included. The relationship between five risky behaviors (suicide risk, smoking, binge drinking, marijuana use, and physical fight) and two indicators of RSBs (condom non-use and multiple sexual partners) was investigated. Interactions between survey years and risky behaviors were included in the models to test the strength of associations over time.Results: Compared to previous years, most associations between risky behaviors and RSBs were converging. However, there were no consistent decreasing changes in associations across time in marijuana, smoking, and RSBs relationships.Conclusion: Findings raise concerns about the potential impact of interventions directed toward adolescent’s substance use. However, longitudinal studies are needed to clarify directionality and make more specific practice and policy recommendations for adolescents’ smoking and marijuana use as proxies to reduce the growing burden of STIs among this population.Policy Implications: Despite the public push against adolescent’s substance use, our findings may suggest that the policies around tobacco and marijuana use have not been as effective on the adolescent population as intended.

A Newly Discovered Manuscript: Second Version of Syarh Rubai of Hamzah Fansuri Written by Syamsuddin Al Sumatrani
Authors:   Andalas University, Pramono  , Sudarmoko  ,   Andalas University
Published: September 2021

In the paper we provide a report on the discovery of a manuscript containing Syarh Rubai of Hamzah Fansuri written by his disciple Syamsuddin Al Sumatrani, which was found in the Minangkabau area. The manuscript is a second and largerly independent version in comparison to similar manuscript that has been previously found and edited by Ali Hasjmy in Aceh. We identify differences between both manuscripts such as the presentation structure, introduction, colophon, the number of stanza, the date of writing, and dictions. The manuscripts reflect the polemic on wujudiyah between Hamzah Fansuri and Syamsuddin on one side, and Nuruddin Ar Raniri on the other side. Furthermore, the locations related to the manuscripts, Aceh and Minangkabau, show the spread of wujudiyah in the Malay world that add new information to the discussion on local Islamic studies. We argue that the newly found manuscript shows the spread of wujudiyah from Aceh to Minangkabau and the growing number of its followers in the region.

Tapioca is a starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant (Manihot exculenta). Cooks and bakers rely on it for baking and for soup thickener but in dentistry the appropriate mixture in weight and volume of starch, water, glycerin and ethyl alcohol forms separating medium. A separating medium prevents direct contact between the denture based resin and the model surface. This study aimed at production of dental separating medium using tapioca extracted from Manihot exculenta in Enugu, Nigeria. The research was carried out between August and September, 2018 in Enugu, Nigeria. The study adopted a three phased experimental approach using the same procedures but different weight and volume compositions. Structured, pretested Product Evaluation Data Sheet was used to evaluate the product by selected Practicing Dental Technologists in Enugu State, Nigeria. The resultant separating medium from experiment III with the following composition: starch flour 1200g, glycerin 500ml, ethyl alcohol 500ml, colorant 500ml and 4000ml of distilled (hot and cold) water. There was significant agreement among the respondents in the flow ability of the product 8(40%); excellent product effectiveness 8 (40%); smoothness 8 (40%), and color stability of the product 10 (50%). These findings suggests that dental separating medium can be produced locally in Enugu, Nigeria. Therefore, more attention needs to be paid in the production process, which will facilitate easy practice of Dental Technology, and also conserve huge foreign exchange being spent in the importation of separating medium in Nigeria.

The rehabilitation of missing anterior teeth is a big challenge to the prosthodontist. Ridge augmentation procedures are often needed to maintain a good emergence profile for a natural appearance. However the results of such procedures are often unpredictable in nature. Root submergence therapy has been implemented for many years and is found to be effective in preserving the alveolar bone-periodontal ligament complex, thus pre venting alveolar bone loss. The socket shield technique has been gaining popularity and is extensively practiced in the field of dental implantology. Modifications of this technique known as the proximal shield technique and pontic shield technique have been introduced in recent years and have provided promising results. These methods are used to maintain ridge contour by preserving tooth fragments to prevent bucco-palatal collapse of the alveolar ridge. This article is a review on these latest treatment modalities which are collectively known as The Partial Extraction Therapies.

Introduction: The purpose of a restoration is to restore the shape, function, and phonetics and aesthetics of damaged teeth. The disadvantage of direct composite restorations is the formation of dental anatomical structures that require operator skills so that they can optimally restore tooth occlusion. Case report: Case 1: A 21-year-old female patient with D4 caries, Site 1 size 2 on tooth number 37 and the patient's dental diagnosis was Reversible Pulpitis. The patient was treated with a composite restoration using the stamp technique. Case 2: A 50-year-old male the patient with D5 caries, Site 1 Size 2 on tooth number 46 and patient’s dental diagnosis was Irreversible Pulpitis. The patient was treated with a composite restoration using the pizza technique. Conclusion: Stamp technique is indicated for hidden caries in pits and fissures or proximal parts of the tooth with intact anatomical forms. The pizza technique can be used in caries with incomplete anatomical forms but requires operator skills to form biomimetic dental anatomy.

Background of the study: Oro-antral communication is a complication associated with extraction of maxillary posterior teeth, surgeries of the maxillary sinus or pathologies associated with the sinus or the posterior maxilla. Such abnormal communications need to be repaired at the earliest, to maintain oral and nasal complex harmony and to prevent undue complications thereafter. These communications can be repaired by various methods, one of those being buccal fat pad pedicled graft technique which will be clinically evaluated and critically discussed in this paper. The pre-operative, immediate and post-operative measures followed, the eligibility criteria chosen and the duration of follow up period will formulate the outline for the study. A careful assessment of the criteria, clinical signs and healing is noted, to establish the outcome of the technique. Aim: The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of buccal fat pad pedicled graft technique for closure of Oro-antral communications. The purpose of choosing this method is easy availability of the graft near to the recipient site, ease of technique for the surgeon, reliable technique and predictable outcome of the treatment. The effectiveness of the procedure and its predictability, in comparison to other methods is dealt in detail below. Methods: An observational study to evaluate the effectiveness of a surgical technique to repair oro-antral communications wherein the pedicled buccal fat pad is used as a graft material. 20 patients with OAC, who were presented to the department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery, VS Dental College & Hospital, Bangalore were recruited for the study. The clinical study was conducted in accordance with the protocol and the results were evaluated on the basis of patient’s comfort towards the procedure, ease of the technique, healing time, post-operative complications and recurrence rate of the communication. The details of the technique and a review of the previous studies published were discussed in detail, to form a relevant summary. Results: The technique was found to be more effective and convenient to both the patient and operator, owing to its ease of performing, minimal risk of complications from the grafted site and the harvest site and predictable healing. Conclusions: The technique is easiest among the various methods recommended so far, pertaining to the procedure and predictability. Although, the training and experience of a skilled operator is equally important in achieving the best results.

Ameloblastoma is the term first suggested by Churchill in 1934. This is an odontogenic tumour where epithelium is the neoplastic component with no involvement of ectomesenchyme. As a well known fact that ameloblastoma is a benign tumour which invades locally with most common site being the third molar region mandibular jaw. Most commonly ameloblastoma occurs in mandibular third molar region upto 66%, followed by 11% in mandibular premolar region, 10% in mandibular anterior region, 6% in maxillary anterior and posterior region and only 1% in maxillary premolar region. Here in this case report we present a rare case of unicystic ameloblastoma occuring in anterior mandibular region crossing the midline along with radiographic investigations done in two dimensional and three dimensional imaging.

Molars are frequently affected by caries among children and adolescents. An efficient endodontic intervention is crucial for their successful preservation in oral environment. Proper knowledge of the internal anatomy of a tooth is the stepping stones for successful treatment outcome in regular endodontic practice. Improper diagnosis with inaccurate treatment planning often result a failure in case of molars with extra roots leading to early tooth loss and development of inevitable functional, esthetic, and psychological problems. Though anatomical variation of tooth morphology is common, incidence of an extra lingual root distally in case of mandibular molars i.e. Radix entomolaris is relatively rare. In this article, two case reports of endodontic management of Radix entomolaris (RE) are presented.

Strategic dentin preservation is the prime objective of this case report (i.e. leaving a truss of dentin between the 2 cavities thus prepared). Permanent teeth with an indication for endodontic treatment can be treated via the truss access cavity design rather than traditional access cavity protocol using copious irrigation. The teeth were then given post-endodontic restorations. Endodontically treated teeth did not show any post-operative symptoms or any presence of post-operative periapical radiolucency or flare-up. The main objective of Orifice oriented access/truss access approach mainly stresses on the preservation of the healthy tooth structure with the minimally invasive approach. This minimal invasive approach in truss access designs avoids the need for conventionally placed crowns. Thus, the aim of this case report was to strategically plan truss access cavity designs on premolars.

Maxillofacial injuries sustained through Road traffic accidents (RTAs) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization in India. Numerous factors such as ever increasing amount of two wheelers, assault conditions, lack of safety measures such as helmets, seat belts and lack of strict implementation of such rules, prevailing socioeconomic, cultural and environmental factors results in a substantial number of facial fractures from RTAs. By 2020, RTA injuries will rise as the 6th major cause of death worldwide. One of the most commonly employed means to thwart such RTAs include the use of helmet, following speed limits, obeying stop signs and traffic signals. Among two wheelers, the use of Helmets plays a crucial role in protecting the cranial vault and potentially the facial skeleton if a full face helmet is used. 25% of the RTAs are caused due to two wheelers rather than four wheelers. Pillion rider, who ride passenger behind the rider on a two wheelers more suspectible to morbid injuries due to lack of safety measures like not wearing a helmet, improper sitting patterns especially by females in India. A study showed injuries such as contusion and skull fractures are common when riding pillion. Here we report a case of mandibular symphysis fracture along with bilateral subcondylar fracture with medial displacement of the fractured segment sustained via RTA while riding pillion.

Background: Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent global chronic disorder. Pathology affecting the structure surrounding teeth results in inflammation initiated by bacterial aggregation & alteration in their profile. Conventional periodontal therapeutics has focused on the control of etiologic agents, thereby promoting healing & repair of tissues. Delivery of therapeutic agents into the local milieu act as drug reservoirs which could alter pathogenic flora & promote its repair & wound healing. Aim & Objective: In an effort to develop a novel therapy, the present study aims to compare clinical soft tissue parameters around periodontal pockets treated with & without human placental extracts delivered locally. Materials & Method: In 10 patients of chronic periodontitis, bilateral localized periodontal pockets of 4-6 mm depth were included. Each site was randomly allocated to group 1 & group 2,where in group 1, scaling & root planing( SRP) was done while in group 2,Placentrex Gel (Human placental extracts) adsorbed on absorbable gelatin matrix (Abgel) used as a vehicle was delivered as an adjunct to SRP . Clinical parameters were recorded & re- evaluated after one month for both the treatment groups . Statistical analysis was carried out to evaluate the effect of Placentrex gel as an adjunct to SRP in treatment of periodontal pockets, Mann Whitney & Paired t test were done. Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in clinical parameters with notable difference in probing depth reduction & gain of clinical attachment level in the treatment group subjected to SRP & Placental extract delivery. Conclusion: Clinical variables showed a greater efficacy of SRP & adjunctive use of placental extracts as compared to conventional treatment by SRP thereby underlying placental extracts usage in the management of periodontal disease condition

Dental caries has been recognised as a major public health problem globally which has an equivalent effect on all age groups. Caries predominantly affects the occlusal surfaces of erupting molars and premolars and thus accounts for nearly 80-90% of pit and fissure caries in permanent teeth. Apart from regular measures for management of dental caries preventive measures involving sealing of the cavitated and non cavitated pits and fissures can be promising tool for cost effective caries prevention. Conservative Adhesive restorations (CAR) have proven to be one such effective means in prevention and treatment of pit and fissure caries. This article reviews complete application technique of CAR along with its indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages. Also, literature-based review of the success rate has been reported. An insight of its application in children and advancements that can help in further improving the efficacy have also been reviewed. From this review and after discussion of recently published studies, it is evident that prophylactic techniques like CAR can be both preventive as well as therapeutic measure for preventing progression of incipient caries.

Organs fail to fulfil their need in the body due to different etiological factors. Hence, demand for the transplantation of a viable organ arises. Oral cavity is capable of projecting the faults of an improperly functioning organ. Dentists are more likely to encounter such cases in their daily practice. However, such cases go unreported due to inadequate knowledge in this field. This review is formatted by collecting all available literature on PubMed, Google Scholar and Google search engines to showcase the role of dentists in the management of patients undergoing Organ Transplantation. This review enlightens on how Dentists can better equip themselves to tackle such cases, when they come across one. This review also projects on the infection foci arising from the oral cavity disturbing the systemic organs and the treatment protocols for managing it.

Background: Globally one million people die by suicide every year. Suicide is a complex phenomenon caused by biopsychosocial factors. It has been observed that people suffering with chronic diseases including immunosuppressive disorders, and HIV/ AIDS are at greater risk of suicidal behaviour. Aim: To study suicidal ideation and its correlates in HIV positive patients. Methods: A semi‐structured socio‐demographic Performa and mini international neuropsychiatric interview (MINI PLUS) was assessed to study suicidal ideation and its relationship with psychiatric disorders in 50 male and female HIV positive patients aged 18‐60yrs without past psychiatric, organic brain disorder and current alcohol and substance dependence at regional institute of medical sciences (RIMS), Imphal, between 2009‐2011. Result: Suicidal ideation was reported by 26% of HIV positive individuals. Psychiatric diagnosis especially major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder was associated significantly with suicidal ideation. Conclusion: Suicidal ideation in HIV positive patients are significantly higher than the general population which emphasizes the need to screen for mental illness and suicide risk assessment
