Improvised Classroom Drama in a Fictional Book Company: Urban Fifth Graders Learn about Colonial America by Reading, Sketching, and Writing in Role
Authors: Gray Esther Cappon
Published: March 2024

Fifth-grade students take on the identities of adults in a fictional book publishing company, then research and write their own book about Colonial America. The improvised classroom drama of the publishing company brought a new dimension to student inquiry, and the pictures the students created to illustrate their book helped to reveal their comprehension of the information they were researching.
Building Bridges to Connect Whole Language Theory and Practice in Literacy Education
Authors: Pollack Hilary
Published: March 2024

Preservice teachers often find themselves caught between the theoretical constructs of whole language that are introduced in their university classes and the practical applications that emerge as they move into the world of K–12 teaching. The disconnect between the constructivist model that dominates preservice training and the transmission model that often is found in K–12 classrooms causes college students to question the validity or rationale of the theory that provides the foundation for best practices instruction. In an attempt to bridge that gap, this paper describes four different workshops or projects with children, built on a foundation of whole language principles, which have been delivered to a combined audience of elementary students, college students, and teachers. While children learn, college students and teachers also gain knowledge of strategies and the research that supports their implementation. Thus bridges are built to link theory and practice in a collaborative delivery and to encourage action research to further support these vital connections.

Cross-Curricular Literacy: Writing for Learning in a Science Program
Authors: Peterson Shelley Stagg , Rochwerger Leonora
Published: March 2024

Teacher educator and researcher Peterson works with eighth-grade science teacher, Rochwerger, who believes that writing is a learning tool that will enable her students to become scientifically literate.

Cultural Literacy: Negotiating Language, Culture, and Thought
Authors: Clark Ellen Riojas , Flores Belinda Bustos
Published: March 2024

Our schools see increasing numbers of students who reflect the wide diversity of this country’s population, but too often these differences—culture, language, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicity are viewed from negative or deficit perspectives when they are, in fact, the cultural capital that enriches discussion, broadens viewpoints, and encourages appreciation of difference. The authors examine the different lenses that define culture and identity, discuss the concept of “borderlands” and negotiation of unfamiliar cultures, and the role of the teacher in establishing a climate of openness or perpetuating the status quo.

This article is the result of research in which an analysis was made on the challenges faced by the development of teaching with digital technologies in the Chilean school context, given that it is a constantly changing scenario. From the examination of the scientific evidence collected, some elements were established to explain the scope of teaching with digital technologies in Chilean schools, factors that influence the effective integration of technologies, and how the integration of digital technologies in Initial Teacher Education has been developed. For this purpose, a systematic literature review study was designed, with a sample of 23 articles whose content was analyzed through a categorized classification based on the criteria suggested by the Prisma protocol. The results obtained allow the conclusion, among other aspects, that the integration of digital technologies in Chilean education is a relevant and dynamic issue and that several approaches and models have emerged in its implementation, highlighting the importance of educational policies in the promotion and monitoring of this process in the classroom.
The Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques of Toulouse: Oldest Dental Site Still in Activity?
Authors: Esclassan Rémi , Baron Pierre , Maggiolo Maeva , Vergnes Jean-Noel
Published: March 2024

The Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques of Toulouse (in Southwest France) is an ancient hospital officially existing since the 16th century and initially dedicated to the treatment of the poor and the destitute. In the 18th century, it became a hospital in the “modern” sense of the word, by maintaining health and trying to cure diseases. The first official traces of professional dental care in the Hôtel Dieu Saint-Jacques by a dental surgeon date from 1780. From this period, the Hôtel-Dieu Saint Jacques had a dentist to treat “paupers” in the early years. The first “officially” recorded dentist was named Pierre Delga, known for having treated the French Queen Marie-Antoinette for a difficult extraction. Delga also provided dental care to the famous French writer and philosopher Voltaire. The aim of this article is to relate the history of this hospital along with French dentistry, and to advance the that the Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques, now a hospital site of the Toulouse University Hospital, is probably the oldest building in Europe still in activity and still hosting a dentistry department.
Emil Zuckerkandl and his Dental Tubercle (Historical Note)
Authors: Eramo Stefano , Mascolo Gian Luca , Lisi Lucia , Calabrese Nicolino , Barraco Giancarlo
Published: March 2024

One of the eponyms most frequently cited in dental morphology texts, together with the Carabelli tubercle of the first permanent maxillary molars, is the Zuckerkandl tubercle of deciduous molars. However, references about Emil Zuckerkandl in the field of dental history and this particular entity are scarce. The reason this dental eponym was pushed “into the shadows” probably lies in the many other anatomical parts (including another tubercle, the pyramidal one of the thyroids), which took their names from this great anatomist.
The Life of a Dental Student: Educational and Social Changes from 1880 to 2020
Authors: Koshki Joshua , Spielman Andre
Published: March 2024

If one could attend the same College of Dentistry repeatedly, every twenty years, starting in 1880, the evolution and comparison of student life would be historically meaningful. Such a time travel, as a perpetual dental student through 140 years, is the purpose of this paper. To illustrate this unique perspective, New York College of Dentistry, was chosen. This large East-Coast private school has been in existence since 1865, and reflects the typical dental educational environment at that time. The changes that occurred over 140 years, however, may or may not be typical of most private dental schools in the United States due to a multiplicity of factors. Likewise, the life of a dental student has changed over the past 140 years, as dental education, oral care, and dental practice have significantly evolved.

Authors: Medeiros Bruna Alves , Vargas Camila Lehnhart , Missau Gianna dos Santos , Benedetti Franceliane Jobim
Published: March 2024

Objetivo: analisar a associação entre o aleitamento materno com os sintomas de depressão pós-parto (DPP) no terceiro mês pós-parto. Métodos: estudo de coorte prospectivo, no qual utilizou-se questionários em dois momentos: nas primeiras 48 horas de vida do bebê em um hospital público do Rio Grande do Sul e no terceiro mês pós-parto, em visita domiciliar. Para avaliar os sintomas de depressão pós-parto foi utilizado a Escala de Depressão Pós-Parto de Edimburgo (EDPS), além de dois questionários contemplando variáveis que podem influenciar a DPP. O aleitamento materno foi classificado de acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde/Organização Pan-americana de Saúde (OMS/OPAS). Resultados: das 59 puérperas que participaram do estudo, 38(64,4%) fizeram menos de 10 e 21(35,6%) mais de 10 pontos na escala, indicando possíveis sintomas de depressão pós-parto, segundo a EDPS. Entre as mães com maior pontuação na EDFS a frequência de aleitamento materno exclusivo foi de 90,50% nas primeiras 48h de vida do bebê e 28,60% ao terceiro mês pós-parto. Os fatores mais expressivos associados à DPP foram residir com fumantes (57,9%) e pontuação menor no eixo material na Escala de Apoio Social (p=0,019). Considerações finais: puérperas com possíveis sintomas de depressão pós-parto apresentaram redução da predominância de aleitamento materno exclusivo no terceiro mês pós-parto, entre os fatores associados destacam-se residir com fumantes e baixa percepção de apoio material.

Authors: Broman Eli Natáli , D’Ávila Cristiane dos Santos , Pinto Julia Dalcin , Battisti Iara Denise Endruweit , Mattiazzi Ângela Leusin , Biaggio Eliara Pinto Vieira
Published: March 2024

Objetivos: Descrever os resultados do rastreio auditivo de pré-escolares, assim como verificar a relação entre as avaliações auditivas e os determinantes sociais de saúde. Método: Pesquisa quantitativa, descritiva, explicativa e com delineamento transversal, realizada no período de inverno e primavera. Amostra composta por 186 crianças de uma escola pública, 89 do sexo feminino e 97 do sexo masculino, de dois a seis anos. O rastreio auditivo foi composto por: meatoscopia, timpanometria, pesquisa dos limiares auditivos de via aérea nas frequências de 500 Hz a 4000 Hz e registro e análise das Emissões Otoacústicas Transientes (EOAT). Como critério de “passa”, foi considerada meatoscopia sem particularidades, curva timpanométrica do tipo A, limiares auditivos até 20 dB em todas as frequências e presença de EOAT em ambas as orelhas. A falha em um dos procedimentos era considerada “falha” no rastreio. Quanto aos determinantes sociais de saúde, foi enviado para o aluno um questionário elaborado pelas autoras e o Critério de Classificação Econômica Brasil (CCEB). Foram realizadas análises descritivas e os seguintes testes para as associações: Wilcoxon, qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher. Resultados: 100 (53,8%) crianças apresentaram “falha” no rastreio auditivo. O procedimento de timpanometria foi o que apresentou maior número de falhas, seguido pela meatoscopia. Quanto aos determinantes sociais de saúde, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa em relação com os resultados do rastreio auditivo. Considerações finais: Observou-se um elevado número de “falha” no rastreio auditivo, sendo que o motivo predominante para a ocorrência desse resultado foi a presença de curvas timpanométricas do tipo B e/ou C. Os determinantes sociais não influenciaram no resultado do rastreio auditivo.

Published: March 2024

Justificativa e objetivos: O envelhecimento caracteriza-se como um processo dinâmico em que ocorrem alterações morfológicas e fisiológicas no organismo. O aumento da longevidade ocasionou maior incidência de doenças crônicas, de agravos à saúde e de internações hospitalares nessa população. O envelhecimento ocasiona redução gradual da massa e da força muscular, em que esta pode ser obtida a partir da força de preensão palmar (FPP) mensurada por meio de dinamometria. O presente estudo objetivou analisar de forma comparativa a FPP entre idosos hospitalizados por condições não cirúrgicas e idosos hígidos. Métodos: Avaliados idosos de ambos os sexos alocados no Grupo Hospitalizado (GH) aqueles indivíduos hospitalizados sob condição não cirúrgica e no Grupo Controle, os idosos hígidos. A FPP foi avaliada pela dinamometria hidráulica manual. Resultados: Amostra (n=51) (GH: n= 16; GC: n= 35) com média de idade de 70,7±7,3 anos e índice de massa corporal de 26,2±3,6 Kg/m2. Foi evidenciada diferença entre os grupos analisados quanto a FPP tanto em valor absoluto (p= 0,016) quanto no seu valor predito (p= 0,001), tendo sido menor no GH. Conclusão: Idosos sob condição não cirúrgica apresentam redução da força muscular periférica em relação aos hígidos, o que demonstra a necessidade de um atendimento voltado à recuperação funcional dessa população no ambiente hospitalar.
Análise da lista de rastreadores de eventos adversos a medicamentos para uso em um hospital de traumatologia e ortopedia
Authors: Castro Letícia Figueira de , Pontes André Teixeira , Gonsalves Zilda de Santana
Published: March 2024

Este trabalho objetivou analisar a lista de rastreadores, que auxiliam na identificação de Reações adversas a medicamentos (RAM), adotada pelo Instituto Nacional de Traumatologia e Ortopedia Jamil Haddad (INTO), como forma de auxiliar outras unidades hospitalares nessa atividade. A lista atual do INTO está dividida em três partes: parâmetros laboratoriais alterados; prescrição de “medicamentos definidos” (medicamentos recém incorporados na instituição, antibióticos (ATB) com menos de 10 anos no mercado ou potencialmente tóxicos); e a terceira, de antídotos e antialérgicos. Observou-se que o INTO adotou a maior parte dos rastreadores sugeridos pelo Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), mas optou por retirar alguns e incluir outros mais alinhados com a sua realidade, obtendo uma relação com maior número de rastreadores em relação à proposta do IHI. A análise dos rastreadores do INTO pode auxiliar os hospitais a utilizar os rastreadores de RAM fazendo adaptações semelhantes na lista sugerida pelo IHI, contribuindo nas investigações de RAM, resultando em ganhos para o serviço e segurança dos pacientes.

Em que foram analisados 301 registros de recém-nascidos e dados secundários referentes às Infecções Relacionadas à Assistência à Saúde disponibilizados pela Comissão de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar (CCIH) da instituição. Resultados: Dos 301 neonatos participantes 8,97% desenvolveu Infecção Relacionada a assistência à Saúde (IRAS), sendo 70,37% Infecção Primária de Corrente Sanguínea (IPCS) (n=19) e 29,63% Pneumonia Associada a Ventilação Mecânica (PAV) (n=8). Conclusão: Embora a incidência das IRAS tenha diminuído a partir da implantação dos bundles, essa associação não foi estatisticamente comprovada, o que pode ser justificado pelo curto período em que o mesmo passou a ser implementado pela instituição. O sucesso da adesão aos bundles depende de diversos fatores, sendo o treinamento de toda equipe e o período de implementação o principal deles.

Authors: Kerk Siew Lan  , Mohd Mokhtar Tahar
Published: March 2024

Primary schools that have recently implemented Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI) are experiencing an adverse perception and lack of acceptance of mainstream pupils towards special education needs pupils (MBPK). The aim of this study is to identify the level of knowledge, affective and behaviour of mainstream pupils towards acceptance of MBPK. This study employs a quantitative approach to conduct a descriptive survey. A random sampling technique was used to obtain 60 respondents who consisted of the population of second level mainstream pupils in SJK (C) Port Dickson district. To collect feedback from respondents, this study used a questionnaire instrument. The findings indicate that the level of acceptance is high, with a mean score of 3.52 based on knowledge, affective and behaviour factors. The mean scores for knowledge, affective and behavior are comparatively high at 3.64, 3.64, and 3.27, respectively. Therefore, the school should aim to strive for an integration programme to promote mainstream pupils acceptance of MBPK.

Authors: Luqman Hakim Sulaiman  , Mohd Mokhtar Tahar
Published: March 2024

Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG) has stressed the aspect of inclusive education. In Malaysia, the implementation of the Inclusive Education Program has been implemented, which is the placement of students with special educational needs (SEN) together with typical students in the classroom based on the experience of other countries. It is seen as more effective for SEN to obtain effective social interaction in life. To ensure that this inclusive education can be achieved, a universal learning design (UDL) has been developed. UDL is a framework for improving and optimizing teaching and learning for all individuals based on scientific insights into how humans learn. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the level of implementation of universal learning design (UDL) of mainstream teachers in the Inclusive Education Program (IEP) in primary schools in Kota Tinggi, Johor. The sample is a total of 82 mainstream teachers who teach the Inclusive Education Program at the primary school level. The census sampling method was used. The questionnaire that was constructed was adapted from the UDL Framework Scale 2023 and Borang Penskoran Evidens SKPM Gelombang 2 2016 with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient value a = 0.943 was used to collect data. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 29 software was applied to analyze the data obtained. Descriptive analysis found the level of implementation of the 3 principles of UDL in IEP by mainstream teachers at a high level.

Authors: Orlando López Francisco Javier , Cornejo Cornejo Richard Antonio
Published: March 2024

La investigación tuvo como objetivo explorar los efectos de la suplementación nutricional con pollinaza en animales poligástricos, para mejorar la alimentación de los rumiantes para potenciar su bienestar y rendimiento productivo. La falta de claridad en torno a estos niveles en la dieta de animales poligástricos representó una brecha del conocimiento científico, abordada mediante una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica, análisis y síntesis como métodos de investigación. Abarcaron la comparación detallada de la calidad nutricional de las raciones alimenticias, la descripción de reacciones biológicas y la  determinación de proporciones óptimas de mezclas con pollinaza. Los resultados obtenidos proporcionaron una comprensión profunda de la viabilidad de la pollinaza en la alimentación de animales poligástricos. En tratamientos utilizados en toros de engorde mostro mayor ganancia de peso en un periodo de 60 días utilizando 1,5 kg de pollinaza obteniendo  ganancia diaria de 0.533 kg y una rentabilidad de 1,27 USD por cada dólar invertido. En vacas lecheras se ofreció 0.63 kg de concentrado y 2.59 kg de pollinaza mostrando resultados de 5.90 (kg./vaca/día) en rendimiento diario de leche y 0.41 (kg./vaca/día) en ganancia diaria de peso. En corderos mostro mejores resultados el suplemento de rastrojo, pollinaza 20% y zeolita 5% con mayores pesos al empadre mayor ganancia diaria de peso. Este estudio concluye que es importante considerar alternativas nutricionales sostenibles y eficientes para abordar las demandas cambiantes de la industria ganadera y enfatiza la relevancia de prácticas alimenticias que promuevan la sostenibilidad y la eficiencia en la producción animal.

Vielmehr ist die deutsche Geschichte voll von Menschen und Gruppen, die dieses Ressentiment wieder und wieder erzählen. (Und nicht nur die deutsche.) Aber auch nicht immer.

Irgendjemand verbreitet gern und wiederholt, dass die Menschen immer weniger Briefe schreiben. Ich glaube, mich zu erinnern, dass es vor allem die Deutsche Post ist, wenn sie über Spielräume beim Briefbeförderungsentgelt nachdenkt. Das Briefmonopol bekäme demnach demnächst einen besonderen Falz, da alles darauf hinausläuft, dass es nur noch vielleicht einen Brief am Tag gibt. Der Anbieter, der den befördert, hat dann auch das Monopol.

Investigation of the relatıonshıp of palatal arch morphometry with maxillary sinus volume: CBCT study
Authors: Tassoker Melek , Öztürk Büşra , Aydin Kabakçi
Published: March 2024

Background/Aim: The maxillofacial region is a complex of anatomical structures that are in close proximity and connection with each other. The aim of this study was to determine the shape, depth, width, length and palatal vault angle of the palatal arch on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images taken for various reasons and to determine the relationship between these factors and maxillary sinus volume. Material and Methods: CBCT images of a total of 150 male and female patients over the age of 18, taken for different diagnostic purposes, were evaluated by an oral radiologist with two years of experience. The shape of the palatal arch was determined on each image, and palatal depth, width, length and palatal vault angle were measured. ITK-SNAP (version 3.8.0) software was used for maxillary sinus measurement. Statistical analysis of the study was performed using SPSS v.21 software. Results: All of the measured parameters were found to be statistically significant between genders, except for the palatal vault angle. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was shown that palatal length was 0.4% (R2=0.004), palatal depth was 42.3% (R2=0.423), and palatal width was 2%(R2=0.020) effective in explaining the palatal vault angle. A high level of correlation was detected between the right (1) and left (2) sinus maxillaris volumes and total sinus maxillaris volumes (r1=0.959, r2=0.961). Conclusions: There is a significant difference in palatal arch parameters between different genders. In addition, these dimensions also play a role on maxillary sinus volumes.
