Since the 1970, dental rehabilitation of partially or totally edentulous patients has been an increasingly used practice, due to improved materials and methods and high rates of survival and success. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate patients from the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Passo Fundo, between 2015 and 2018, with indication and installation of dental implants. Material and methods: Data on age and gender of the patients, indication and region of the implants, technique, type of connection and shape of the implants, bone density, need for grafting and image modality used for surgical planning were collected from dentistry records. Results: In total, 55 patients and 105 implants were evaluated. The age group ranged from 21 to 82 years, and women were the majority group (64%). Among the implant indications, 71% of the patients had only one tooth missing, and the lower first molars comprised most of the implants performed (21%). The conventional surgical technique was the most used (86%), as well as the cylindrical shape cone morse model. Conclusion: The proper selection of indications for implants seeks to be based on scientific evidence, and the protocols are essential to achieve high success rates.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association between genetic polymorphisms in DEFB1 (rs1799946 and rs11362) and the development of gingivitis in children from the Amazon region of Brazil. Material and methods: The study included 27 healthy children, 10-12 years old, from public schools in Manaus. For the oral examination, the parameters described in the gingival index of Löe and Silness were used to identify the presence or absence of gingivitis. The dependent variable was categorized as “Yes” for children with gingivitis (experimental group; n=10) and “No” for children without gingivitis (control group; n=17). Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva, the selected polymorphisms in the DEFB1 gene (rs1799946 and rs11362) were genotyped by TaqMan PCR and an endpoint analysis was performed. Genotypic and allelic distribution between groups was performed using the Fisher’s exact test with an established alpha of 5%. Results: It was found that evaluated SNPs in the DEFB1 gene (rs1799946 and rs11362) were not associated with gingivitis (p>0.05). Conclusion: The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of references rs1799946 and rs11362 in the DEFB1 gene had no function on gingivitis, promoting neither harmful nor beneficial effects, in children.

#Abstract If today it seems common to register trademarks as a form of legal protection in the commercial environment, this has not always been taken for granted. In order to understand this issue, it must be taken into account that trademark law is effective in legislation as a means to counter the existing growing unfair competition. This practice implied the sale of imitated or adulterated products as authentic, increasing consumer distrust, who believed himself to be misled. The 19th century was a time of profound transformations in this field, which would be reflected in the following centuries. Thus, in this article, the chronology focuses on the period immediately after the establishment of the Portuguese Republic, a time when, despite the fact that trademark registration was already in practice, there was a new crisis in the wine sector. In order to have a more detailed perspective on this subject, applications for trademark registration will be analyzed, to understand the weight of wines in registered trademarks, studied in relation to companies, geography, holders of wine brands and images. In relation to the Republic, its influence on the wine sector is investigated, regarding the policies that promote the fight against this crisis and the republican references present in the wine brands.

It is our purpose with this article to characterize, from the point of view of the organization of the territory, the Julgado de Vermoim at the end of the 13th century, from the perspective of the Inquirições of D. Dinis in 1288. Information was collected regarding the property and owners, usurpations and violence against royal officers and also some peculiar aspects recorded by royal officers in 44 parishes in the Judiciary of Vermoim, according to the aforementioned source. The Julgado of Vermoim corresponds territorially to the current municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão, with some exceptions of parishes now integrated into neighboring municipalities. The territory under analysis stands out for its general characteristics that we will summarize. The property is largely in royal hands, the local gentry and religious orders, although the presence of small landowners has been highlighted for reasons that we will see later.

Background/Aim: The systemic inflammation score (SIS) is a promising tool for the evaluation of prognosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of the preoperative SIS status in gastric cancer (GC) patients who underwent curative resection. Patients and Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 258 patients with primary gastric cancer who received curative treatment at Yokohama City University. The SIS was evaluated before surgery as determined by the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (cut-off value=4.44) and serum albumin level (cut-off value=4.0 g/dl). Results: A high SIS was identified as an independent predictor of overall survival [hazard ratio (HR)=1.784, p<0.05] and multivariate analysis showed marginal significance for recurrence-free survival (HR=1.710, p<0.05). Conclusion: The preoperative SIS score was correlated with both the OS and RFS of GC patients, as well as the clinical course of adjuvant chemotherapy. Thus, the SIS score is a promising prognostic factor for GC.

Background/Aim: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively review the outcomes of intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) and identify predictors for ambulation after radiotherapy (RT). Patients and Methods: We analyzed 16 lesions in 15 patients treated with RT for ISCM at our clinic from October 2009 to April 2020 to evaluate predictors for improved ambulation following RT. Results: The primary diseases included nine cases of lung cancer, two cases of breast cancer, and several others. The RT schedule was primarily 30 Gy/10 fractions in seven cases, while others were applied to nine cases. The median overall survival time was 99 days. After RT, all seven patients who could walk prior to RT were still able to walk (100%), whereas only two of nine patients who could not walk prior to RT were able to walk (22%, p=0.004). Conclusion: Ambulation prior to RT was a significant predictor of ambulation ability after RT.

Published: November 2022

Background/Aim: The early diagnosis of breast cancer plays an important role in reducing mortality and optimizing the prognosis of the disease. The existing visual and histopathological methods do not give any information at a molecular level. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy does not require any preparation, such as fixation and histological stains. The collected infrared spectral “biomarker bands” give information at a molecular level and could be used for biomarker screening, in order to minimize the false-positive or false-negative results. Materials and Methods: For this prospective study, nine biopsies of lobular carcinoma (7 in situ and 2 invasive) and the adjacent healthy region of the biopsies were used. Each infrared spectrum consisted of 120 scans/spectrum (120 co-added spectra) at a spectral resolution of 4 cm−1. Results: The infrared spectral analysis revealed three important “diagnostic spectral regions” between 3,300-2,850 cm−1, 1,700-1,500 cm−1, and 850-800 cm−1, which are related to membrane, collagen, and DNA configuration damage, respectively. The shift of the absorption band at 1,161 cm−1 at higher wave numbers up to 1,172 cm−1 is assigned to vC-O-C bonds due to membrane, protein, and DNA glycosylation. Conclusion: The “biomarker bands” at 1,172 cm−1 can be used as “diagnostic marker bands” for cancer progression. The shift of the absorbance band at 825 cm−1 of the native configuration of B-DNA to lower wavenumbers at 810 cm−1 Z-DNA in grade III, suggests the irreversible stage of the disease. The detection and possibility to differentiate the DNA structures may allow detection of carcinogenesis at the early stage of the disease, and development of new anticancer therapies.

Published: November 2022

Corn sialge (Zea mays L.) is the most widely used in the world in dairy cattle diets because of its higher biomass yields, palatability, homogeneous quality at harvest, and ease of silage due to its higher soluble sugar content. Studies were systematically searched to know the silage corn quality and yield from different countries concerning dry matter yield (t/ha), population density (plant density/ha), quantity of Dry Matter (DM), Crude Protein (CP), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Non-Fibrous Carbohydrates (NFC), Organic Matter (OM), DM Digestibility (DMD), Neutral Detergent Fiber Digestibility (NDFD), and milk production  (kg) per hectare (kg milk/ha) using MILK2006®. Six clusters (CL, PROC CLUSTER) of corn silage were analyzed: CL1: “Starch,” which included DMD, DNDF, TDN1 x DM, Mega calories per kg of DM, and kg of milk/t DM; CL2: “ether extract” which included TDN1 x DM, Mcal/kg DM, and kg of milk/t DM; CL3: “DM,” composed only of DNDF; CL4: “Plant Density,” including Yield of DM/ha and Milk Production/ha; CL5: “NDF,” and CL6: “CP.” In conclusion, CL1 is characterized by a higher DMD, NDFD, CNF, and starch, which allow higher TDN1 x DM and an energy concentration (Mcal/kg DM) with higher milk production (kg milk/ha). CL2 with a higher ether extract (EE) allows higher TDN1 x DM and an energy concentration (Mcal/kg DM) having a higher milk production (kg milk/ha). The DM concentration increases in the whole plant because of maturity, affecting the starch content and NDFD; the DM content (> 35 g/100 g DM) mainly causes a decrease in the NDFD, while in a very early stage of DM harvest (< 25 g/100 g DM) a low ratio of starch:NDFD is present.
CORONAVIRUS AND SCIENCE-RELATED COMMUNICATION BY POPULIST PARTIES
Authors: Crulli Mirko
Published: November 2022

The relation between science and populism has already been investigated by relevant sociopolitical literature. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has produced remarkable changes in how politics, science, and society relate to each other. Therefore, there is a need to explore further what science is to populists and how populist parties have dealt with science in times of pandemic. How much has science-related communication by populist parties changed after the outbreak of Coronavirus? What topics have populist science-related messages been about? Are there differences in the science-related communication of ideologically different populist parties, and between populist parties in government and in opposition? The research tries to answer these questions through a thematic analysis of populist communication on Twitter. The empirical investigation is carried out through topic modelling on a dataset of 1.133 science-related populist tweets. The focus is on a pertinent single case study, Italy. Here there are three different populist parties in terms of ideology, which have been both in government and in opposition during the pandemic. Findings highlight that different populist parties have resorted to different science-related rhetoric and that the two Italian populist parties on the radical right, the League and FdI, have engaged in “counter-science” and “anti-science” communication.

Authors: Treneska Deskoska Renata
Published: November 2022

When COVID-19 pandemic was announced in March 2020, North Macedonia was in the middle of the electoral process, with a dissolved Parliament and a few days before the start of the electoral campaign. The elections were postponed because the threats of the virus were unpredictable and the strategy to handle it was unknown. Instead of April 2020, the elections were held in July 2020. The changes of the Electoral Code were adopted in order to introduce procedures for voting that would be safe for voters and electoral boards. Also changes of the rules for electoral campaign were made in order to adapt the forms of campaigning to the “new COVID-19 reality”. This article analyzes the effects of Covid-19 on the parliamentary elections in North Macedonia in 2020, focusing on the changes on the electoral rules and the electoral campaigning because of COVID-19, as well as the influence of COVID-19 on the turnout of voters. The context of the postponement of the elections, institutional setting and legal solutions are analyzed in the first part of the article. The changes of the rules regarding campaigning and adaptation of political actors to new rules are analyzed in the second part of the article. The third part focuses on the changes of voting procedures and adaptation of electoral management bodies. The last part of the article points to the changes of other rules, mostly on financing and misuse of state resources.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Song Ju Eun , Seo Eun Hee
Published: November 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychological changes that Korean-Vietnamese multicultural children experience through non-face-to-face gestalt art therapy, and whether their ability to cope with bicultural stress is improved. Methods A total of three children participated in the study, children from Korean-Vietnamese multicultural families at the Multicultural Family Support Center. Non-face-to-face Gestalt art therapy in this study is based on Zinker's ‘notice-contact cycle’ and consists of a total of 4 stages: the sensory stage, the awareness stage, the energy mobilization/action/contact stage, and the retreat/finish stage. A total of 8 sessions were operated once a week. As an analysis method, a qualitative research method was applied to repeatedly analyze and categorize the stories according to the symbolism of the art work obtained from the recorded images for each session, the observation contents of the activity process, the artwork photos and the supervision data. As a research tool, the PPAT test (Person Picking an Apple from the Tree) was conducted before and after the program to measure the ability to cope with bicultural stress. Results Four top topics and eight bottom topics were derived for psychological changes experienced in the non-face-to-face Gestalt art therapy process. The upper categories were “my emotions faced through art work”, “facing with a weakened self”, “encounter with a positive self”, and “my new beginning that has changed”. Participating children went through the process of honestly expressing and accurately recognizing self-emotion through the recognition process of Gestalt art therapy, forming a positive perception of the two cultures and changing their thoughts and attitudes about how to cope with prejudice and discrimination around them. In the PPAT test, there were positive changes in problem-solving ability and coping ability using resources. Conclusions This study is meaningful in that non-face-to-face Gestalt art therapy is effective in reducing bicultural stress in multicultural children, providing useful information for healthy emotional development of children from multicultural families, and is expected to be used as basic data for the application and expansion of non-face-to-face art therapy.

Objectives This study aimed to analyze medical students’ experiences with problem-based learning (PBL) in a non-face-to-face environment using text mining. Methods A total of 157 students’ open-ended responses regarding their experiences with problem-based learning in a non-face-to-face environment were collected and analyzed using term frequency and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)-based topic modeling. Results The result of the term-frequency analysis showed that keywords, such as discussion, learning, opinion, thought, process, and tutor, were prominent ones. The LDA-based topic modeling generated nine topics: physical comfort, technical discomfort, challenges of a lack of knowledge, improvement of problem-solving ability, psychological comfort, technical advantages, differences in students’ participation, experiences with tutors, and parallel schedule problems. Conclusions The results of this study can provide suggestions to enhance the quality of students’ experiences with PBL in a non-face-to-face environment.

Published: November 2022

Objectives The chief purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that affect the academic helplessness of elementary school students by focusing on the variables related to social support perceived by them. Methods To analyze the research question, the missing values were considered from the ｢Korean Children and Youth panel Survey 2018｣ third-year data(2020) for the panel of the elementary school 4th grade. Finally, a correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed on the subjects of 490 students in the 6th grade. Results First, grit, parents’ autonomous support, and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on the academic helplessness of elementary school students. Specifically, it was derived that grit, parents’ autonomous support, and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on the sub factors of academic helplessness, deficient locus of control and lack of academic motives; grit and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on lack of positive emotions; gender, grit, and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on lack of active performance. As a result of analyzing the factors that influence academic helplessness according to the gender of elementary school students, grit and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on academic helplessness and the four sub factors of academic helplessness for the female student group. On the contrary, grit, parents’ autonomous support, and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on academic helplessness for the male student group. Grit and parents’ autonomous support had statistically significant effects on deficient locus of control; grit and relationship with friends had statistically significant effects on lack of positive emotions; and grit on lack of academic motives and active performance. Conclusions This study holds significance in exploring the variables that influence academic helplessness of elementary school students around social support and suggesting future research directions and implications of academic helplessness.

Objectives The purposes of this study was to analyze teachers' experience in Ssireum class comprehensively and interpret its meaning to improve and improve Ssireum class in schools, and to draw implications according to the structural environment and context of Ssireum class. Methods For this purpose, The individual case studies related to the experience of Ssireum class were analyzed and interpreted by qualitative meta-analysis method to present systematic literature review, broad interpretation of research topics, innovative alternatives and insightful directions. Results Teachers' experience of Ssireum class showed that negative and positive aspects coexisted., Negative experiences were internal attributes such as lack of expertise and narrow perception, ‘poor environment’, ‘injury concerns’, internal conflicts of teachers themselves and ‘conflicts’ with students, ‘lack of teaching tools’, and ‘no program’ that did not fit the student's eye level., Positive experiences were shown to be ‘cooperation’ with class consulting, professional learning community, physical education research group, ‘boring’ due to internal and external changes of students, and ‘growth’ through them., Based on these attributes, the metapoem of the upper concept, ‘burden’, was derived, and it was found that the class consulting, professional learning community, and physical education research group were practicing cooperation to offset the ‘burden’ expressed in the aspect of wrestling class. Conclusions In order to improve and streamline the Ssireum class in the future, efforts should be made to support the diversification policy on Ssireum education so that the learning experience of Ssireum is not alienated from the previous teacher education and field-friendly job training programs in order to reduce the burden of teachers in Ssireum class., And teachers' movement to pursue learning should be continuously made through various routes.

Published: November 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to present implications for deaf education of Korea by analyzing the ‘Japanese Sign Language(JSL)’ curriculum and textbooks of Meisei Gakuen in Japan, which provides bilingual and bicultural deaf education from the perspective of cognitive academic language. Methods For this purpose, the characteristics of Meisei Gakuen's kindergarten, elementary, and middle school ‘JSL’ curriculum and textbooks were analyzed from the perspective of cognitive academic language. Results First, the ‘JSL’ curriculum in kindergarten was designed to develop sign language skills as a basic communicative skills by considering the differences in sign language proficiency of deaf children. Sign language textbooks were designed to develop a sense of language for sign language through sign shapes cards and classifier textbooks. Second, the elementary school ‘JSL’ curriculum was designed to comprehensively develop the cognitive academic sign language ability in linguistic, cognitive, and socio-cultural aspects. Sign language textbooks are structured to systematically develop deaf culture and sign language’s grammar. Third, the ‘JSL’ curriculum of the middle school was structured to deepen the cognitive academic sign language ability in linguistic, cognitive, and socio-cultural aspects. Sign language textbooks were designed to deepen awareness of sign language by learning sign language linguistics. Fourth, as a limitation, there was an aspect that the sign language curriculum and sign language textbooks did not sufficiently consider the level difference by age and grade. Conclusions The direction of the development of the cognitive academic sign language curriculum for using Korean sign language as a teaching-learning language was suggested.
Korean Undergraduates’ Perspectives on the Difficulties in Understanding English Idioms
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Park Hyechong
Published: November 2022

Objectives Using the theoretical viewpoint of lexical transfer, this study investigates what causes Korean (L1) undergraduates’ difficulties in making sense of English (L2) idioms. Methods In order to achieve this research objective, ninety undergraduates in a metropolitan city area participated in a questionnaire-based study using four-type English idioms. The research participants translated twenty English idioms into Korean, which were selected by a Korean reference group depending on the perceived form and meaning similarity between L1 and L2. Then the participants listened to the explanations and answers on them and completed a questionnaire asking the most difficult idiom, the inference process of it, and what they realized about L2 idiom comprehension. Results There are three main findings. First, the idioms perceived the most difficult in translation were in the order of cognate idioms < pragmatic idioms < false friends idioms < L2-only idioms. This shows a tendency that the research participants had difficulty in understanding construal-opaque idioms including false friends idioms and L2-only idioms, whereas they did not have difficulty in understanding construal-transparent idioms including cognate idioms and pragmatic idioms. Second, when the participants did not perceive crosslinguistic meaning similarity on the construal-transparent idioms, they tended to make an arbitrary L1-based inference on them, resulting in translation errors. Third, crosslinguistic form difference could interact with crosslinguistic meaning similarity in the process of perceiving crosslinguistic similarity; nevertheless, the finding that they perceived more difficulty in understanding false friends idioms than pragmatic idioms signifies that the mechanism of lexical transfer is the perceived similarity of meaning between L1 and L2 idioms. Conclusions This study shows that construal opacity is the main cause of the research participants’ difficulties in understanding L2 idioms because their persistent meaning system is rooted in L1. This finding suggests that the popular teaching method of using inference strategy on L2 idiom comprehension is only valid for construal-transparent idioms as universal cognition operates on them, and that conscious effort to broaden L2 idiom repertoire is needed for construal-opaque idioms on which relative cognition operates. In the same vein, raising student consciousness on the crosslinguistic universals and linguistic relativity is also expected.
