Understanding the Lived Experiences of Women Refugees from the Middle East and North Africa Region: A Phenomenological Approach
Authors: Jaber Baheya
Published: October 2024

This qualitative study explores the role of urban public libraries in Texas from the viewpoint of women refugees from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. These women encounter challenges as they navigate their daily lives in the U.S. By implementing Intersectionality (Crenshaw, 2017), critical feminist theory (De Beauvoir, 2009; hooks, 2009), and critical race theory (Ladson-Billings, 1998), the researcher examines the information needs and information seeking behaviors among women refugees (including their connection with public libraries). 
The researcher utilizes phenomenology by conducting interviews and focus groups with MENA women refugees. Through phenomenology the researcher examines the connections amongst MENA women refugees and their lived experiences in the U.S., explores truth by stating that human knowledge is generated from the work of the expert researcher and somebody who can mention “I” and who is responsible for their knowledge, and educates citizens to become accountable agents of truth (Sokolowski, 2000, Vagle, 2014). 
When conducting the semi-structured interviews and focus groups, MENA women refugees share their individual and collective experiences in relation to the information services that public libraries offer to them. These women understand the world by interacting with other people and things, and then they disclose their valuable experiences “truth” with the researcher. The knowledge that these women reveal proves that their experiences are crucial, valuable, and that the creation of human knowledge is not only an outcome of the expert researcher but represents the achievements and possession of all individuals who participate in the research project (Bevir, 2003).
Drawing the Line between Social Work and Librarianship: Public Library Administrators Talk
Authors: Gross Melissa , Latham Don , Baum Brittany
Published: October 2024

As part of a larger, IMLS-funded project,  focus groups were undertaken with public library administrators to discuss the professional scope of librarianship in the face of a growing practice of placing social workers in public libraries to help respond to communities’ social services-related needs. Findings from these focus groups and focus groups held with adult services and youth services librarians are being used to inform the development of a national survey of public librarians on this topic. The survey will be distributed fall 2024. Preliminary findings from focus groups with public library administrators indicate that librarians want to help, but are stretched beyond their training, and that the placement of social workers in libraries to help serve social services-related needs is a more complex solution than it may sound.

With the surge in demand for high-quality video content over various platforms, efficient video compression techniques have become indispensable. High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has been a cornerstone, yet further enhancements are essential for optimal compression. Despite HEVC’s advancements, achieving optimal compression while maintaining video quality remains challenging. Additionally, existing methods often overlook the computational complexity, hindering real-time applications. We propose a novel approach integrating HEVC with Non-Linear Convolutional MobileNet (NLCM) for enhanced compression efficiency. Our method employs a rate-distortion optimization framework, leveraging the capabilities of both HEVC and NLCM to achieve superior compression performance. NLCM provides adaptive filtering, enhancing spatial and temporal correlations, while HEVC ensures high compression efficiency. Through experimentation on standard video datasets, our method demonstrates significant improvements over existing techniques. Compared to HEVC alone, our approach achieves up to 30% reduction in bitrate at equivalent perceptual quality levels. Moreover, computational complexity is reduced by 15%, enabling real- time applications without compromising performance. The proposed method exhibits competitive results across various resolutions and frame rates, making it versatile for diverse video compression scenarios.
Fine-Tuned Bidirectional Encoder Representations From Transformers Versus ChatGPT for Text-Based Outpatient Department Recommendation: Comparative Study
Authors: Jo Eunbeen , Yoo Hakje , Kim Jong-Ho , Kim Young-Min , Song Sanghoun , Joo Hyung Joon
Published: October 2024

Background

Patients often struggle with determining which outpatient specialist to consult based on their symptoms. Natural language processing models in health care offer the potential to assist patients in making these decisions before visiting a hospital.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT in recommending medical specialties for medical questions.

Methods

We used a dataset of 31,482 medical questions, each answered by doctors and labeled with the appropriate medical specialty from the health consultation board of NAVER (NAVER Corp), a major Korean portal. This dataset includes 27 distinct medical specialty labels. We compared the performance of the fine-tuned Korean Medical bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (KM-BERT) and ChatGPT models by analyzing their ability to accurately recommend medical specialties. We categorized responses from ChatGPT into those matching the 27 predefined specialties and those that did not. Both models were evaluated using performance metrics of accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.

Results

ChatGPT demonstrated an answer avoidance rate of 6.2% but provided accurate medical specialty recommendations with explanations that elucidated the underlying pathophysiology of the patient’s symptoms. It achieved an accuracy of 0.939, precision of 0.219, recall of 0.168, and an F1-score of 0.134. In contrast, the KM-BERT model, fine-tuned for the same task, outperformed ChatGPT with an accuracy of 0.977, precision of 0.570, recall of 0.652, and an F1-score of 0.587.

Conclusions

Although ChatGPT did not surpass the fine-tuned KM-BERT model in recommending the correct medical specialties, it showcased notable advantages as a conversational artificial intelligence model. By providing detailed, contextually appropriate explanations, ChatGPT has the potential to significantly enhance patient comprehension of medical information, thereby improving the medical referral process.
Experiences With mHealth Use Among Patient-Caregiver Dyads With Chronic Heart Failure: Qualitative Study
Authors: Jin Xiaorong , Zhang Yimei , Zhou Min , Zhang Xiong , Mei Qian , Bai Yangjuan , Wei Wei , Ma Fang
Published: October 2024

Background

Chronic heart failure has become a serious threat to the health of the global population, and self-management is key to treating chronic heart failure. The emergence of mobile health (mHealth) provides new ideas for the self-management of chronic heart failure in which the informal caregiver plays an important role. Current research has mainly studied the experiences with using mHealth among patients with chronic heart failure from the perspective of individual patients, and there is a lack of research from the dichotomous perspective.

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore the experiences with mHealth use among patients with chronic heart failure and their informal caregivers from a dichotomous perspective.

Methods

This descriptive phenomenological study from a post-positivist perspective used a dyadic interview method, and face-to-face semistructured interviews were conducted with patients with chronic heart failure and their informal caregivers. Data were collected and managed using NVivo 12 software, and data analysis used thematic analysis to identify and interpret participants’ experiences and perspectives. The thematic analysis included familiarizing ourselves with the data, generating initial codes, searching for themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming themes, and producing the report.

Results

A total of 14 dyads of patients with chronic heart failure and their informal caregivers (13 men and 15 women) participated in this study, including 3 couples and 11 parent-child pairs. We constructed 4 key themes and their subthemes related to the experiences with mHealth use: (1) opposing experiences with mHealth as human interaction or trauma (great experience with mHealth use; trauma), (2) supplement instead of replacement (it is useful but better as a reference; offline is unavoidable sometimes), (3) both agreement and disagreement over who should be the adopter of mHealth (achieving consensus regarding who should adopt mHealth; conflict occurs when considering patients as the adopter of mHealth), (4) for better mHealth (applying mHealth with caution; suggestions for improved mHealth).

Conclusions

This study reported that the experiences with mHealth use among patients with chronic heart failure and their informal caregivers were mixed, and it highlighted the human touch of mHealth and the importance of network security. These results featured mHealth as a complement to offline hospitals rather than a replacement. In the context of modern or changing Chinese culture, we encourage patients to use mHealth by themselves and their informal caregivers to provide help when necessary. In addition, we need to use mHealth carefully, and future mHealth designs should focus more on ease of use and be oriented more toward older adults.

Published: October 2024

Key Points

Severely increased urinary albumin excretion rate is an effective criterion to select persons with type 1 diabetes at high risk of GFR decline for enrollment in clinical trials.

A history of rapid GFR decline is less effective but can be used to extend clinical trials to person with normoalbuminuric diabetic kidney disease.

These findings have immediate implications for the design of clinical trials of novel renoprotective interventions in type 1 diabetes.

Background

The optimal criteria to select individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus and albuminuric or normoalbuminuric diabetic kidney disease, who are at risk of rapid kidney function decline, for clinical trials are unclear.

Methods

This study analyzed data from the Preventing Early Renal Loss in Diabetes clinical trial, which investigated whether allopurinol slowed kidney function decline in persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus and early-to-moderate diabetic kidney disease. Rates of iohexol GFR (iGFR) and eGFR decline during the 3-year study were compared by linear mixed effect regression between participants enrolled based on a history of moderately or severely increased albuminuria (n=394) and those enrolled based on a recent history of rapid kidney function decline (≥3 ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year) in the absence of a history of albuminuria (n=124). The association between baseline albuminuria and iGFR/eGFR decline during the trial was also evaluated.

Results

Rates of eGFR decline during the trial were higher in participants with a history of albuminuria than in those with a history of rapid kidney function decline (−3.56 [95% confidence intervals (CIs), −3.17 to −3.95] versus −2.35 [95% CI, −1.86 to −2.84] ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year, P = 0.001). The results were similar for iGFR decline, although the difference was not significant (P = 0.07). Within the history of albuminuria group, the rate of eGFR decline was −5.30 (95% CI, −4.52 to −6.08) ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year in participants with severely increased albuminuria as compared with −2.97 (95% CI, 2.44 to −3.50) and −2.32 (95% CI, −1.61 to −3.03) ml/min per 1.73 m2 per year in those with moderately increased or normal/mildly increased albuminuria at baseline (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

Severely increased albuminuria at screening is a powerful criterion for selecting persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus at high risk of kidney function decline. A history of rapid eGFR decline without a history of albuminuria is less effective for this purpose, but it can still identify individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus who will lose kidney function more rapidly than expected from physiological aging.

Hajj is one of the obligations for every Muslim who is mature and capable of performing it. Therefore, regulations regarding the organization of Hajj in a region are intriguing to discuss. The purpose of this article is to identify the definition of legal politics and Hajj, inform the history of the development of regulations on Hajj organization in Indonesia, and analyze legal politics within these laws. This research employs a normative juridical research method using legislative approaches, conceptual approaches, and historical approaches. The findings of this article indicate that from a legal-political perspective, Law No. 13 of 2008 concerning the Implementation of Hajj and Law No. 34/2014 concerning Hajj Financial Management are considered to ensure legal certainty for prospective Hajj pilgrims. Despite concerns regarding Article 30 paragraph (1) of the law causing legal uncertainty due to the continued practice of KBIH (Hajj Organizing Agencies) charging additional fees, the government argues that according to Article 29 paragraphs (1) and (2), Hajj guidance should be provided without charge to pilgrims. The latest law addressing this issue is Law No. 8 of 2019, which states that Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam mandatory for every capable Muslim, as also guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution. Improvements in the organization of Hajj and Umrah should not only focus on improving the quality of service to pilgrims but also address all aspects involved in the organization of Hajj and Umrah.

A notary holds significant responsibility for every action related to the creation of an authentic deed. This responsibility extends not only during the creation of the deed but also for as long as the deed is used by the involved parties. The notary is accountable for the authenticity and accuracy of the deed's content to ensure no harm is caused to any party. One example is a debt agreement that later transformed into a sale and purchase agreement in the Denpasar District Court Decision No. 10/Pdt.G/2019/PN Dps. Based on this, the study addresses two main questions: (1) What is the legal strength of the sale and purchase agreement as evidence? and (2) What is the ratio decidendi concerning the evidentiary strength of the sale and purchase agreement in the Supreme Court Decision No. 2053K/PDT/2019? This study employs a normative method, specifically a juridical analysis of applicable legal norms. The purpose is to identify the factors leading to the lawsuit in the Denpasar District Court and analyze the judges' considerations regarding the legal status of a sale and purchase agreement based on debt. The findings indicate that the Supreme Court Decision No. 2053K/PDT/2019 is accurate, as it considers the principles of immediate payment and transparency, as well as the validity requirements of the agreement. The defendant did not acknowledge the sale and purchase agreement, but rather a debt. Therefore, the lawsuit should be dismissed.
From Insights to Action: Understanding and Mitigating Organizational Errors
Authors:   , Román Sara Blasco
Published: October 2024

Organizational errors are a commonly encountered phenomenon. This thesis examines this issue in depth, investigating the various causes of errors within organizations and exploring strategies to mitigate them. Although the existing literature on organizational errors offers valuable insights, there remains scope to further advance this knowledge, particularly. Accordingly, the three papers comprising this dissertation seek to contribute to and expand upon this body of research and offer new perspectives and solutions. The first paper examines the persistence of organizational errors despite mitigation efforts. The findings indicate that challenges in converting data into information interfere with the opportunity, motivation, and ability to learn from errors, thus perpetuating their persistence. This study aims to emphasize the pivotal yet undervalued role of organizational data in error learning and prevention. The second paper examines the organizational factors influencing the prevalence and mitigation of errors. Specifically, it highlights how organizational factors related to knowledge sharing, cross-functional understanding, and knowledge gaps impact error costs. Further analysis reveals that cognitive and physical distance exacerbate these factors, thereby constraining error resolution and leading to recurrence. Consequently, the study emphasizes the importance of informal knowledge sharing and fostering a shared mindset to effectively mitigate errors. The third paper outlines a methodology for prioritizing digital twin applications in complex industrial settings. The approach begins by documenting relevant business requirements, existing processes, and key challenges. Next, it employs an opportunity scoring system to identify areas where digital twins may yield potential benefits. To refine the portfolio of candidate applications, the feasibility of implementing digital twins is quantified by evaluating factors such as technological readiness, organizational capacity, and project risk. Thus, this paper presents a comprehensive method that assesses multiple feasibility dimensions, often neglected in existing prioritization approaches. In conclusion, this thesis identifies how an organization's inherent attributes, dynamics, and individuals contribute to the intricate organizational errors they attempt to eradicate. By pinpointing the causes of these persistent errors and exploring opportunities to eliminate them, the research aims to contribute to the organizational error literature and foster more efficient and productive organizations. The findings highlight the significance of understanding the root causes of errors, fostering a culture of continuous learning, promoting knowledge sharing and common understanding, and supporting the systematic development of digital technologies. This comprehensive approach not only enhances organizational performance but also supports sustainable growth and resilience in an ever-evolving business landscape.

Authors: Malvezzi Mariana , Figueiredo Cléber da Costa , Santana Flavia Feitosa
Published: October 2024

A Covid-19 trouxe transformações e impactos sociais, entre eles, efeitos psicológicos. Considerando o conceito de Bem-estar Psicológico (BEP) de Ryff (1995), este trabalho apoiou-se em uma visão abrangente da saúde – não a ausência de enfermidade, mas o bem-estar físico, mental, social e capacidade de enfrentar desafios a partir de seis dimensões: autoaceitação; relações positivas com os demais; autonomia; domínio do ambiente; propósito de vida; crescimento pessoal. O objetivo geral é verificar o BEP da população brasileira em quarentena; o secundário, averiguar diferenças no BEP nestes estratos: gênero, escolaridade, renda e faixa etária. Fez-se uma pesquisa quantitativa com a escala de Ryff (1995) a partir de amostragem estratificada proporcional à quantidade de óbitos divulgada pelo Governo em 3 de maio de 2020. A coleta de dados deu-se de 4 a 10 de maio do mesmo ano. Verificou-se menor BEP para baixa escolaridade e renda e maior BEP para idosos.
O Iluminismo tardio no cemitério dos vivos: o manicômio judiciário na fronteira da reforma psiquiátrica brasileira

Published: October 2024

O artigo objetiva analisar os saberes e práticas dos operadores do direito e da psiquiatria em relação à Unidade Psiquiátrica de Custódia e Tratamento e seu lugar no contexto da Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira. Analisa os argumentos que fundamentam as medidas de internação do ponto de vista jurídico e psiquiátrico e as soluções viáveis para o problema do manicômio judiciário frente ao imperativo da desinstitucionalização trazido pelo novo paradigma de Atenção Psicossocial. A investigação, pautando-se nos postulados da Análise Institucional, detectou como esses saberes e práticas atravessam o espaço institucional, moldando-o como um conjunto molar enrijecido e praticamente indiferenciado de outras estruturas prisionais comuns, diante da falência completa de um projeto terapêutico direcionado ao louco infrator.
O fatalismo no cotidiano da pobreza: do individualismo forjado ao horizonte coletivo
Authors: Pinto Mariana de Almeida , Paiva Fernando Santana de
Published: October 2024

O presente trabalho objetiva analisar como o fatalismo se manifesta no cotidiano de sujeitos que vivenciam a condição de pobreza. Foram realizadas 10 entrevistas semiestruturadas com sujeitos atendidos em um Centro de Referência de Assistência Social (CRAS) do município X. Apoiando-se, sobretudo, nas elaborações de Ignacio Martín-Baró, refletimos sobre o modo como a predominante resignação fatalista se forja por meio das estruturas desiguais e das ideologias estabelecidas e aprofundadas no cotidiano da pobreza. Os processos de naturalização da realidade social reforçados pelo imediatismo e precariedade da vida cotidiana sufocam os sentimentos de revolta, indignação e coletividade que insurgem, sendo estes, no geral, canalizados pela lógica meritocrática, individualista e religiosa. Torna-se, assim, importante a adoção de uma perspectiva histórica e dialética para compreendermos as possibilidades de ruptura com o fatalismo no âmbito da sociedade brasileira, de modo a superar as mazelas subjetivas e materiais produzidas na e pela ordem social vigente.

Using a sample of 832 young people, between 13 and 25 years old, the present research examined the psychometric properties of a Brazilian adaptation of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure-28 (CYRM-28), a scale empirically derived from a threefactor resilience model that has been promising for cross-cultural research. To establish validation, we use Confirmatory Factor Analysis to determine whether the traditional three-factor structure and the original items of CYRM-28 are compatible with a Brazilian sample. This was followed by tests of internal consistency by examining Cronbach’s alpha and convergent validity by testing correlations with the CD-RISC-10. The results led to a reduced version of 19 items distributed in three resilience factors. The findings are consistent with those observed in samples from other cultures and suggest that CYRM-19-Br is promising for use in resilience research in Brazil.

Este artigo buscou compreender como profissionais de psicologia inseridos nos Centros de Referência Especializados de Assistência Social (CREAS) percebem sua atuação nas situações de violência intrafamiliar. Foram realizadas entrevistas com 12 psicólogos que trabalham nesses centros, em 7 municípios do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. O material foi analisado a partir da análise qualitativa proposta por Minayo (2012) e os resultados evidenciaram que o trabalho desenvolvido nos CREAS apresenta diversos desafios, dentre eles: a compreensão de que a forma de trabalhar tem relação com o entendimento acerca da distribuição de responsabilidade, especialmente entre Estado e família, oscilando entre uma perspectiva familista e protetiva, não havendo uma forma única que generalize algo tão complexo como a violência intrafamiliar. No entanto, estratégias de enfrentamento foram mencionadas, dentre elas a educação permanente e a discussão de casos, ambas fomentam diálogo e reflexão ampliando o conhecimento, auxiliando a tomada de decisão.

A satisfação dos usuários constitui um dos critérios da qualidade dos serviços de saúde mental. Entretanto, há uma carência de estudos avaliando a satisfação dos moradores de residências terapêuticas (RTs) e ausência de instrumento de medida específico para este fim, no Brasil. Neste estudo, foi feita a adaptação transcultural do Questionnaire sur la Satisfaction de la Clientèle en Résidence D’Accueil (QSHS-21), para avaliar a satisfação dos moradores das RTs. O procedimento incluiu: tradução da escala original, retradução, revisão por Comitê de Especialistas e Estudo Piloto com 30 moradores de RTs do município de Barbacena/MG. Os resultados incluíram correções a partir das traduções e retraduções e adaptação da escala pelo Comitê de Especialistas, assim como modificações na redação de algumas questões, no Estudo Piloto. A versão final possui equivalência semântica e conceitual com a escala original e está adaptada ao contexto brasileiro, sendo de fácil compreensão para a população-alvo.

Medidas de distanciamento social implantadas na pandemia da Covid-19 resultaram na suspensão de atividades presenciais, tendo o Ministério da Educação autorizado a implementação do Ensino Remoto Emergencial – ERE. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar se a autodisciplina, o domínio tecnológico e as atitudes em relação à Educação a Distância, alterados pelas experiências acadêmicas durante o ERE, influenciaram a percepção de desenvolvimento profissional dos universitários durante a pandemia. A amostra foi de 971 participantes, cobrindo 23 cursos de graduação e 17 instituições. Foram aplicadas as Escalas de Atitudes sobre Treinamento a Distância, de Percepção do Desenvolvimento Profissional, e de Experiências Associadas ao ERE, todas com evidências de validade. Foram realizados testes t e regressão múltipla padrão. Os resultados apontam que quem desenvolve atitudes mais favoráveis à Educação a Distância, autodisciplina e domínio tecnológico durante o ERE, tende a perceber maior desenvolvimento profissional nesse período.

Published: October 2024

A agência humana tem sido estudada sob diferentes perspectivas teóricas, com distintas conceitualizações e percepções sobre o constructo. O objetivo desta revisão integrativa da literatura foi discutir as perspectivas teóricas dos estudos sobre agency. Para isso, foram realizadas buscas na Scopus e Web of Science (bases de dados internacionais) por publicações até 2020. Com base nos 222 documentos selecionados, executou-se uma análise de cocitação e análise teórica dos documentos mais citados dos principais autores de cada cluster. Nos resultados identificou-se sete clusters que possibilitam discutir as perspectivas teóricas dos estudos sobre agency. Ao considerar essas diferentes perspectivas de pesquisa e conceitualizações, corrobora-se o caráter multifacetado do fenômeno e conclui-se que, para uma percepção conceitual ampliada, é necessário compreendê-lo considerando as facetas de intencionalidade, premeditação, autorreatividade, autorreflexão, autoeficácia e locus de controle interno, que demonstram ser fatores inerentes ao construto.

Published: October 2024

O presente estudo objetiva analisar algumas das principais demandas convergentes de políticas públicas apresentadas por mulheres chefes de família. É um recorte de uma pesquisa realizada com dez mulheres rurais chefes de família, residentes em comunidades rurais do Sertão pernambucano, em que houve a utilização de entrevistas e de observação participante. Apesar das diferenças territoriais, as mulheres apresentaram demandas que convergiram em relação à: necessidade de segurança no acesso a terra; ausência ou pouca operacionalidade do Estado e das instituições nas suas comunidades; subordinação prejudicial ao tempo institucional, especialmente nos espaços de acesso à saúde, e os custos implicados para chegar nos serviços; e à falta de equipamentos de educação, lazer e sociabilidade solidária localmente. Reconhecer as especificidades das condições dessas mulheres abre caminho para uma Psicologia mais inclusiva e sensível às populações rurais.

The objective of this study is to analyse the impact of budget implementation and university governance on fraud prevention in Indonesia. Using the purposive sampling method, this study covered 50 private universities with 150 university officials as a sample. The findings demonstrate that effective university governance and budget execution have a substantial and favourable impact on fraud prevention. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge several limitations regarding the variables in this study, such as the small sample size and the absence of control over other variables that may influence university governance. The significance of this study stems from its examination of crucial areas, particularly the higher education service sector, which is well recognized for its substantial influence on the future of higher education.

La función de la educación superior debe trascender las misiones básicas de investigación, extensión y docencia, para además favorecer el bienestar de todas las partes interesadas en el proceso educativo. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar la visión de los miembros de la alta gerencia de una universidad pública de Bogotá, Colombia, frente a los elementos que debería considerar un modelo de responsabilidad social universitaria. Mediante un instrumento de recolección de información aplicado a 25 personas, se solicitó valorar afirmaciones frente a las variables teóricas identificadas en la literatura. Tras verificar la validez del instrumento, y posterior a su aplicación, se realizó un análisis de datos tanto descriptivo como cuantitativo, mediante la técnica estadística de análisis factorial. Se concluye que los directivos están muy interesados en las variables: ambiente físico-humano, comunicación, sentido de pertenencia, trato con respeto y colaboración, medio ambiente y clima laboral; además, recomiendan tomar acciones que permitan el mejoramiento de la calidad de la institución difundiendo y aplicando principios y valores éticos en el cumplimiento de sus procesos y funciones, y dar seguimiento a las prácticas responsables en el corto, mediano y largo plazo.

Introduction. Calcium silicate dental cements have a wide range of
applications in clinical dentistry. Many formulations were developed in the
last decade and successfully employed for dental healing. In this paper,
several clinical applications of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA+, Cerkamed,
Stalowa Wola, Poland) were presented. Outlines of cases. The first case
report reflects the application of the MTA+ for the healing of the root
perforation of the upper premolar. The second case report was the usage of
MTA+ for indirect pulp capping in patient who came with pain of the tooth
previously restored with composite filling. The third case report was a
patient with periapical cystic lesion that was removed surgically and root
canal filled retrogradely with MTA+. Conclusion. Altogether, current calcium
silicate based dental cements bear a great potential for solving numerous
issues in the dental practice regarding huge or problematic defects of
dentine or alveolar bone.
