Aim: The oral and dental hygiene behaviors of patients are affected by their dentists. Although dental students attend preclinical courses in their first and second years of education, they are expected to be knowledgeable about oral and dental health due to their future position as being role models for patients. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the oral and dental health awareness and oral health habits of preclinical dental students. Material and Methods: 127 preclinical dental students were included in this study. A questionnaire consisting of 39 questions about oral-dental health habits and knowledge levels was prepared. The results were analyzed with the SPSS 22.0 software. A p-value of smaller than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Chi-squared and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: Frequency of daily tooth brushing, gingival bleeding, halitosis, toothpaste preference, satisfaction with tooth color and frequency of dental visits were found to be statistically significant. There was no significant difference between the 1st-year and 2nd-year student groups in terms of their responses to the questions (p> 0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the male and female groups for their responses to the questions on topics such as toothpaste preference, satisfaction with the color of their teeth, frequency of dental examination, frequency of tooth cleaning and toothbrushing time (p

Authors: GEDİK Gülşah
Published: January 2022

Aim: The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between ocular comfort and effect of eyeliner containing a microscale colorant, together with the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) test method.

Material and Methods: The formulations were evaluated by determination of sensory, physicochemical parameters, microbial contamination and dermatological patch tests, survey study and calculation of OSDI score. Results: The physicochemical and sensorial parameters of the eyeliner formulation were appropriate for the dermal application. No microbial growth was observed. According to the patch test with 15 volunteers, the eyeliner did not show any allergic or irritant properties. All of the 20 participants who participated to the survey found that the permanence performance of the product successful, 35% of the participants think that the product does not leak or contaminate, 85% of respondents said that the product is easily cleaned and 65% of the participants stated that the product is durable in contact with water. The median OSDI score for the cohort was 22,3 (IQ range 10.4–55.6). OSDI scores were found to be 43,9 (IQ range 12.5 –6.,4) after eyeliner use. Dry eye disease severity remained moderate. 20% of the participants stated that the product caused redness around the eyes. Conclusion: This study shows that eyeliner use is associated with the effect of the chosen dye and the perception of ocular discomfort. In this study, although the participants stated that it was a 95% blacker product, the formulation containing micro dyes had to be reformulated in a discomfort-reducing way.

Consciousness Beyond Neural Fields: Expanding the Possibilities of What Has Not Yet Happened
Authors: Dresp-Langley Birgitta
Published: January 2022

In the field theories in physics, any particular region of the presumed space-time continuum and all interactions between elementary objects therein can be objectively measured and/or accounted for mathematically. Since this does not apply to any of the field theories, or any other neural theory, of consciousness, their explanatory power is limited. As discussed in detail herein, the matter is complicated further by the facts than any scientifically operational definition of consciousness is inevitably partial, and that the phenomenon has no spatial dimensionality. Under the light of insights from research on meditation and expanded consciousness, chronic pain syndrome, healthy aging, and eudaimonic well-being, we may conceive consciousness as a source of potential energy that has no clearly defined spatial dimensionality, but can produce significant changes in others and in the world, observable in terms of changes in time. It is argued that consciousness may have evolved to enable the human species to generate such changes in order to cope with unprecedented and/or unpredictable adversity. Such coping could, ultimately, include the conscious planning of our own extinction when survival on the planet is no longer an acceptable option.
Taking a Fresh Look at Foreign Language Enjoyment Research in SLA: Current Status, Future Directions, and Pedagogical Implications
Authors: Guo Yunxian , Qiu Yexiang
Published: January 2022

Foreign Language Enjoyment (FLE), as the most prevalent positive emotion predicting L2 learners' academic performance and well-being, and a critical factor contributing to the creation of positive micro-institutions (e.g., the classrooms), has received remarkable scholarly attention across the globe in the past eight years. Despite the fact that FLE is the most extensively investigated positive emotion and extant research has yielded rich and invaluable findings, it is far from being adequately studied, leaving vast lacunas to be explored. Therefore, this conceptual review article is written to familiarize language education researchers, practitioners, instructors, and learners with the current status of FLE research and its potential applications in L2 education, and suggest potential avenues for future research. To this aim, by making a diachronical and synchronical delineation of extant literature with regard to the conceptualization and theorization of FLE, and the methodology of FLE research, we argue that it is incumbent on researchers to make a new line of enquiry into the actualization of the ascertained affordances of FLE and its transmission in the microsystem of the classroom. Subsequently, by drawing on the broaden-and-build theory and the control-value theory, we highlight the significance of conducting FLE research with theoretical triangulation and methodological diversity to validate the data and minimum bias. Next, while highlighting the critical role of FLE in L2 education, we suggest some pedagogical implications with the hope of enlightening the practice of key stakeholders such as instructors, teacher educators, and teacher recruiters. In the end, the limitations of existing literature are explicated, and avenues for future studies on FLE in L2 education domain are put forward for interested researchers.

Published: January 2022

Objectives:To adapt the vertebral heart scale (VHS) for use in ferrets and identify new scales and tools that allow to establish the normal heart size by means of radiography more quickly and effectively.

Methods:Forty healthy pet ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) were used in this prospective study. The measurements were made on right lateral, left lateral, ventrodorsal, and dorsoventral projections, using OsiriX MD medical imaging software, to evaluate sex effect and variance within the different heart scales. Cardiac measurements were also correlated to VHS and the cardiac dimension in the same projection.

Results:Most of the cardiac measurements were significantly different between males and females. The results for the VHS were: right lateral VHS (RL-VHS): 5.52 ± 0.28 v (vertebrae units); left lateral (LL-VHS): 5.55 ± 0.28 v; and dorsoventral VHS (DV-VHS): 6.22 ± 0.34 v for males and RL-VHS: 5.24 ± 0.2 v; LL-VHS: 5.25 ± 0.20 v; and DV-VHS: 5.97 ± 0.35 v for females. Regarding the sternebral heart scale (SHS), the values were: RL-SHS: 5.10 ± 0.20 s (sternebrae units) and LL-SHS: 5.11 ± 0.20 s for males and RL-SHS: 4.67 ± 0.24 s and LL-SHS: 4.67 ± 0.28 s for females. The new measurements based on determining the cardiac area were also marked by clear sexual dimorphism, as shown for the cardiac area-axis (AREA-AXIS): RL-AREA-AXIS: 3.82 ± 0.45 cm2; LL-AREA-AXIS: 3.87 ± 0.41 cm2; ventrodorsal (VD)-AREA-AXIS: 4.59 ± 0.64 cm2; and DV-AREA-AXIS: 4.80 ± 0.50 cm2for males and RL-AREA-AXIS: 2.39 ± 0.23 cm2; LL-AREA-AXIS: 2.41 ± 0.26 cm2; VD-AREA-AXIS: 3.08 ± 0.45 cm2; and DV-AREA-AXIS: 3.06 ± 0.47 cm2for females. The cardiac area open polygon (AREA-POL) values were: RL-AREA-POL: 6.78 ± 0.65 cm2; LL-AREA-POL: 6.88 ± 0.68 cm2; VD-AREA-POL: 7.20 ± 0.91 cm2; and DV-AREA-POL: 7.57 ± 0.88 cm2for males and RL-AREA-POL: 4.28 ± 0.30 cm2; LL-AREA-POL: 4.35 ± 0.35 cm2; VD-AREA-POL: 4.72 ± 0.65 cm2; and DV-AREA-POL: 4.79 ± 0.66 cm2for females, with similar differences noted from various radiographic projections. A good correlation was noted between VHS and SHS, and a very strongly positive correlation existed between cardiac area measurements and cardiac dimensions.

Conclusion:The VHS adapted to ferrets, the SHS, as well as the cardiac area measurements presented in our study are ideal tools for the assessment of cardiac size in ferrets.
How Do Stakeholder Pressures Affect Corporate Social Responsibility Adoption? Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises in Ethiopia
Authors: Ying Ma , Shan He , Tikuye Gashaw Awoke
Published: January 2022

In today’s globalized world, one of the great challenges for enterprises is integrating CSR adoption into their operations. The study aims to investigate how stakeholder pressure influences the adoption of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices by Chinese medium and large-scale manufacturing enterprises in Ethiopia. This study used a mixed-methods research approach that includes primary and secondary data sources. The employed research data were analyzed using stakeholder theory, structural equation modeling, and multivariate regression analysis to identify the causal relationship between the stakeholder pressures and CSR adoption. The finding shows that overseas Chinese medium and large-scale enterprises at least have CSR awareness to meet compliance requirements. Comparatively, employees, community, and customers are the most influential and significant factors determining the enterprises’ stakeholder pressure on the CSR engagement. The finding indicates that Chinese enterprises are unrecognized for their CSR contribution due to a lack of public relation in displaying what they display the firms are doing. There is no strong link between Chinese manufacturing enterprises and the regulatory stakeholders to implement inclusive CSR awareness and eliminate conflicts of interest on legal frameworks. The study proposed some recommendations to solve the gaps regarding indifference to CSR adoption, the community’s lack of concern for CSR, and lack of proactive involvement. Government laws are required to legally control unbalanced practices and distorted views, as well as to guide fixing conflicts of interest. These finding are important for enterprises, policymakers, government officials, and local and foreign investors to identify, understand, and use the driving factors of stakeholder pressures on CSR practices.
COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Receiving Biologic Therapies in Kuwait: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Shehab Mohammad , Zurba Yasmin , Al Abdulsalam Ali , Alfadhli Ahmad , Elouali Sara
Published: January 2022

Background: COVID-19 vaccinations have been shown to be effective in reducing risk of severe infection, hospitalization, and death. They have also been shown to be safe and effective in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are receiving biologic therapies. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of vaccination among patients receiving biologic therapies for IBD. Methods: A single-center prospective cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care inflammatory bowel disease center in Kuwait. Data from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who attended the gastroenterology infusion clinic from 1 June 2021 until 31 October 2021 were retrieved. Patients who received infliximab or vedolizumab at least six weeks before recruitment were included. The primary outcome was prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination. The secondary outcome was to assess whether prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination differed based on sex, age, type of biologic therapy and nationality. Results: The total number of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients enrolled in the study was 280 (56.0% male and 44.0% female). Of the total, 112 (40.0%) patients were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and 168 (60.0%) with Crohn’s disease. The number of ulcerative colitis patients who were vaccinated was 49 (43.8%) and the number of Crohn’s disease patients who were vaccinated was 68 (40.5%). The median age was 33.2 years and BMI was 24.8 kg/m2. With respect to the total number of patients, 117 (41.8%) were vaccinated with either BNT162b2 or ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and 163 (58.2%) were not vaccinated. Female patients were more likely to receive the vaccine compared to male patients (83.0% vs. 63.8%, p < 0.001). In addition, patients above the age 50 were more likely to receive the vaccine than patients below the age of 50 (95.6% vs. 31.2% p < 0.001). Expatriates were more likely to receive the vaccine than citizens (84.8% vs. 25.0%, p < 0.001). There was no statistical difference between patients on infliximab and vedolizumab with regard to prevalence of vaccination (40.0% vs 48.0%, p = 0.34). Conclusion: The overall prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on biologic therapies was lower than that of the general population and world health organization (WHO) recom-mendation. Female patients, patients above the age of 50, and expatriates were more likely to receive the vaccine. Physicians should reinforce the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines among patients, especially IBD patients on biologic therapies, who express hesitancy towards them.

A database was developed from the US Department of Defense Global Respiratory Pathogen Surveillance Program. VE was estimated using a generalized linear mixed model with logit link and binomial distribution, adjusted for confounding effects. A total of 7114 adults including 2543 medically attended, laboratory-confirmed influenza-positive cases were identified. Using influenza test-negative controls, the adjusted VE in adults was 40% [95% confidence interval (CI): 33–46%] overall, including 46% (95% CI: 36–55%) for influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, 32% (95% CI: 19–42%) for influenza A(H3N2), and 54% (95% CI: 44–62%) for influenza B. The age-stratified analysis showed that VE estimates against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (34%; 95% CI: −29–66%) and influenza A(H3N2) (6%; 95% CI: −60–45%) were low and non-significant for elderly adults ≥65 years of age. Overall VE estimates against any influenza or by influenza (sub)types in adults were consistent when using influenza test-negative controls, non-influenza virus positive controls, and pan-negative controls. Inactivated influenza vaccination provided moderate protection against influenza virus infection, based on the analysis from a large number of adults aged ≥18 years over multiple influenza seasons.

La producción de plántulas de plátano de calidad vía macropropagación en cámara térmica es una metodología económica y eficiente para pequeños productores. El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar el efecto de bencilaminopurina y tipo de brotes sobre la tasa de multiplicación de cormos y la calidad de plántulas de plátano propagadas en cámara térmica. Se desarrollaron dos experimentos separados. En el primero se probó el efecto de bencilaminopurina (BAP) sobre la tasa de multiplicación  de  cormos de plátano en cámara térmica, donde se establecieron dos tratamientos que fueron: Con BAP (40 mg L-1) y sin BAP. En el segundo se evaluó el potencial de enraizamiento, crecimiento y calidad de plántulas de plátano en vivero, generadas a partir  de dos tipos  de brotes en cámara térmica, que fueron: Brotes adventicios de segunda generación (BAR2) y brotes procedentes de tejido calloso (BCR2). En ambos experimentos los datos fueron analizados con prueba estadística de   t de Student para observaciones pareadas. Se registró la tasa de multiplicación, variables de crecimiento y calidad de plántulas en vivero. La mayor tasa de multiplicación  de brotes  en cámara térmica se produjo con BAP, que supero en 44 % al tratamiento sin BAP. El mayor crecimiento e índice de calidad de Dickson en plántulas durante la aclimatación fue logrado con brotes adventicios (BAR2). La calidad se correlacionó positivamente con variables morfométricas de las plántulas. El uso de BAP y brotes adventicios (BAR2) es efectivo para incrementar tasa de multiplicación y calidad de plántulas de plátano macropropagadas.
A Contribution to the Biogeography ofAblepharus anatolicusandA. budaki(Squamata: Scincidae) Using Ecological Niche Modeling in Turkey

Published: January 2022

The Anatolian Peninsula is very richly biodiverse in terms of its location and with new studies, this wealth has gradually increased as new taxa of Anatolian origin are added to the literature.Ablepharus budakiandA. anatolicus,formerly considered to be subspecies ofA. kitaibelliandA. budakirespectively, are spread throughout the southern part of Anatolia. Although recent phylogenetic and morphological studies revealed their species status, no information was given about the relation of the species with each other in terms of ecological niche. In this study, our primary goal was to discover whether the niches of these two taxa were different from each other. Considering the analyses made within the scope of this study, it has been revealed that bothA. anatolicusandA. budakiare different from each other in terms of their ecological niche. However, since these two taxa have very small contact regions, an example of parapatric speciation, and their distribution areas cover almost completely different geographies, we can say that they have different ecological niche requirements, according to the results of this study. As a result, this study supported the findings in literature and the idea that these taxa are two different species

Published: January 2022

The course of Acanthamoeba spp. infection depends on the age and immune status of the host, and the virulence of the Acanthamoeba spp. strain. Some strains of free-living amoebae exhibit organ specificity, during the course of infection, while others may cause changes
in many organs or completely lose pathogenicity. The aim of the current study was to investigate the pathological properties of Acanthamoeba spp. isolated from a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and atypical pneumonia (AM22). Moreover, the objective was to investigate the histopathological
changes in the kidneys and heart of immunocompetent and immunosuppressed mice infected with Acanthamoeba spp. Amoebae were re-isolated from both the kidneys and hearts of the inoculated mice, although no cysts or trophozoites of the amoebae were detected in microscopic slides of the
fragments of these organs. Acanthamoeba spp. induced changes in the kidney and heart weight of infected mice. In immunocompetent and immunosuppressed Acanthamoeba spp. infected mice, we found some histopathological changes, including areas with less acidic cytoplasm and a relaxation
of muscle fibers. In further studies, it is important to analyze changes in gene and protein expressions in the heart and kidneys of hosts with disseminated acanthamoebiasis to better understand the course of infection in these organs, because the results of histological analysis varied depending
on the immune status and duration of infection.
Development ofFannia pusio(Diptera: Fanniidae) Under Controlled Temperature Conditions and its Enforcement in the Estimate of the Post-mortem Interval (PMI)
Authors: Bravo-Pena Yolanda , Galián José , Romera Elena
Published: January 2022

Fannia pusio(Wiedemann, 1830) is a species belonging to the family Fanniidae, which is of great forensic, sanitary, and veterinary interest. The behavioral peculiarities of this species, depending on the temperature at which it is found, may provide additional information for future research. The application of entomology in the forensic field has focused especially on the early colonizing taxa of corpses that are in the initial stage of decomposition. However, species occurring at more advanced stages can contribute to further knowledge, as is the case withF. pusio. In addition, the species has the ability to colonize buried corpses that are inaccessible to larger dipterans. On the other hand, the sanitary and veterinary interest of this species is due to the performance of females as phoretic hosts ofDermatobia hominiseggs that cause myiasis in both animals and humans. In the current study, the behavior ofF. pusiowas observed at a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C. We found that its viability range is limited between 15°C and 35°C; above and below these temperatures, adults survive but oviposition does not take place. Data collected by statistical analysis were subsequently applied to calculate the post-mortem interval (PMI) using isomorphen and isomegalen diagrams. The results show a directly proportional relationship between growth rate and temperature increase. However, a slowdown in the growth of individuals was observed at extreme temperatures (5°C and 35°C). The results shown in this manuscript, together with the existing bibliography of other species, help to broaden the knowledge ofF. pusio, which has not been studied in such depth until now.
A Review of the Petroleum Hydrocarbons Contamination of Soil, Water and Air and the Available Remediation Techniques, Taking into Consideration the Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Elijah Adeoye Ademola
Published: January 2022

The emergence of several industrial activities has arguably led to hydrocarbon contamination of all aspects of the environment. The resultant effect of the increased dependence on crude oil is the hydrocarbon pollution via the exploration, transport and waste disposal. Crude oil is a complex mixture of aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic compounds. The impact of the crude oil spills, pesticides, fossil fuels and other organic pollutants, which majorly contains these hydrocarbons is that the natural heavy metal content of the soil is drastically rising, resulting in high concentration of heavy metals, thereby limiting the microbe’s activity, rendering it unsuitable for degradation and reduced effectiveness. This menace has hereby brought the dire need for adequate environmental remediation technique, putting into consideration the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs’). Variety of techniques exist for remediation depending on the media (e.g. air, water, or soil) and contaminant (e.g. heavy metals, PCB etc.). Some of the techniques adopted in the last several decades are physical/mechanical, chemical or biochemical remediation methods.

In the process of monitoring the capacity of the B3 waste storage facility at PT Fadira Teknik, the manual method is still used to determine whether the waste load is full (ready to be disposed) or not. Where in the process, workers must come and look directly at the B3 waste storage area. This will increase jobs for factory workers because they must always monitor the level of B3 waste before or after carrying out work. Apart from being harmful to humans, the B3 waste disposed of from the factory is in the form of small particles such as invisible dust which can be accidentally inhaled by the nose or into the eyes of the workers. Therefore the aim of this research is to create a smart trash can system that can monitor the volume of B3 waste in the trash, where the trash uses the IoT (Internet of Things) system by utilizing the Arduino Uno component as a microcontroller and ultrasonic sensor to detect the volume of waste then sends waste volume data to the Blynk application via the internet network to display information on the capacity of the trash. The research method used is the experimental method starting from system analysis, system design, system implementation, testing and evaluation. Testing on this smart trash system uses black box testing with the results of these tests being quite good where each test case is as expected.
