Published: January 2021

Sporotrichosis is chronic, pyogranulomatous fungal infection of cutaneous or subcutaneous. It is caused by the dimorphic fungus (S. schenckii).

This study describes the in-vitro effect of potassium iodide (KI) on the transaminases enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) produced by the filamentous form of .

A master culture of was prepared in YNB (Yeast nitrogen base) medium and was incubated at 25ºC (mould). KI was added into the YNB medium in increasing concentrations. One mL suspension of master culture was inoculated into each bottle and incubated at 25ºC for different time period, 4 day (early-log period), 9 day (mid-log period) and 14 day (peak of growth) respectively. After centrifuging, a 5% homogenate was prepared that was used for transaminases enzyme assay.

The mean aspartate aminotransferase level of control specimen was 12.4 ± 3.30, 22.4 ± 3.69 and 53.6 ± 8.46 IU on day 4, 9 and 14 respectively. The mean aspartate aminotransferase level of test specimen was ranged from 3.5 ± 0.80 (KI 6.4 gram %) to 12.4 ± 4.66 IU (KI 0.1 gram %), 2.6 ± 0.21 (KI 6.4 gram %) to 29.5 ± 7.31 IU (KI 0.05 gram %) and 2.5 ± 0.23 (KI 6.4 gram %) to 42.3 ±3.70 IU (KI 0.2 gram %) on day 4, 9 and 14 respectively. The mean alanine aminotransferase level of control specimen was 17.5 ± 5.93, 24.6 ± 3.59 and 32.6 ± 7.54 IU on day 4, 9 and 14 respectively. The mean alanine aminotransferase level of test specimen was ranged from 2.2 ± 0.00 (KI 6.4 gram %) to 15.4 ± 2.36 IU (KI 0.1 gram %), 2.7 ± 0.81 (KI 6.4 gram %) to 29.5 ± 2.75 IU (KI 1.6 gram %) and 3.5 ± 1.37 (KI 6.4 gram %) to 29.6 ± 2.82 IU (KI 0.2 gram %) on day 4, 9 and 14 respectively.

At the entire test concentrations mean value was lower as compared to control. The low activity of the transaminases enzymes indicates that KI has inhibitory effect on the growth of (mould) and has led to decrease in the activity of these enzymes.

Authors: Nema Mari
Published: January 2021

Oral health is considered of paramount importance for visually impaired individuals due to the difficulties they face to maintain a good oral hygiene practice in different aspects, knowledge, physical and social. Thus, the provision of adequate training and education about oral health and the chemical role of mouthwashes is required for this group of society. This research aims at comparing the effect of various types of mouthwashes on gingival health among visually impaired persons.

92 students with a vision impairment of ages between (10-20) years suffering from gingivitis caused by dental plaque accumulation were included in this research. The sample was divided into 4 groups according to the type of used mouthwash as follows:

1) Chamomile group, 2) Aloe Vera group, 3) Chlorhexidine group, 4) Distilled water group.

Dental plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) were recorded before the initiation of the treatment and after 15 days. One-way (ANOVA test) and the (Bonferroni test) were used for results analysis at p<0.05. Statistical analyses were completed using (SPSS) software –v13.

Aloe Vera and CHX groups have improved the dental plaque index (PI) without significant statistical differences. Both (CHX and Aloe Vera) have proven superiority over the Chamomile group which was statistically significant. Gingival index (GI) has improved in the Chamomile, Aloe Vera, and CHX groups without any statistical differences.

: Within the limitation of our study, we concluded that (Aloe Vera) mouthwashes can be used as a substitute to CHX in controlling plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation among visually impaired persons. Also, Chamomile mouthwashes have a distinguished impact on gingival inflammation, yet more researches are required.

Authors: Orvakonde Shreyas , Mutum Bidyalaxmi
Published: January 2021

Mandibular condylar fractures account for a sizeable segment amongst facial fractures. Previously most of these fractures were managed conservatively with periods of Intermaxillary fixation(IMF). Shortcomings of such an approach such as prolonged pain, Tmj dysfunction and delayed return to function has shifted the discourse to open reduction and internal fixation of the fractured mandibular condyle.ORIF is the universally accepted and mainstay of intervention. Numerous extra oral approaches have been employed with various modifications. The retromandibular transparotid approach is a relatively simple and direct approach to the posterior mandible, enabling the surgeon to deal with sub condylar and condylar neck fractures with relative ease. This approach is a safe approach and does not result in permanent palsy of any of the branches of the facial nerve.

To analyse facial nerve function after ORIF of mandibular sub condylar fractures through the retromandibular transparotid approach.

25 patients reporting with unilateral condylar fractures, sub condylar (16) and neck fracture (9) (Ellis classification)consenting for the study were taken up. All patients were followed up for 8 months. Post-operative nerve function was evaluated at 24 hours after surgery, 1,4,12 weeks and at the end of 8 months.

4(16%) patients presented with weakness of the facial nerve. Buccal branch (3) and zygomatic branch (1). In all cases the weakness was temporary and no permanent deficit was noted.

Published: January 2021

Dental anxiety is a common problem that affects people of all ages and appears to develop mostly in childhood and adolescence. Dental anxiety in children has been recognized as a problem in patient management for many years. It is important that dentists are able to assess dental anxiety in child patients as early as possible so that they may identify patients who are in special need with regards to their fear. Age, gender and socioeconomic status play an important role as determining factors in dental anxiety, hence should be considered while measuring dental anxiety.

A randomized control study was conducted in 4 to 8 years old children using two scales. A list of children from 14 schools in Gautam Budh Nagar district (U.P.) was collected and 1025 children were randomly selected. The children were asked about how they feel when they visit a dentist, by VPT and FIS separately their role with gender, age and socioeconomic was evaluated.

To do comparative evaluation of role of gender, age and socioeconomic status on perceived dental anxiety of 4 to 8 years old children using two scales.

Among 1025 children, 532(51.9%) were males and 493 (48.1%) were females. Age wise comparison of both scales score revealed that mean FIS score was statistically significant and higher than mean VPT scale among 7 and 8 year age groups. Among 4, 5 and 6 year age group, no statistically significant difference was found between two scales.

Dental anxiety is found to increase with increasing age. Females had a similar level of anxiety as compared to males and Children from low SES had a high level of dental anxiety than children from high SES.
Phenomenological Metaphysics by Laszlo Tengelyi in the Context of Modern Ontologies
Authors: Litvin Tatyana
Published: January 2021

The German-Hungarian phenomenologist became one of the few philosophers at the beginning of the 21st century who analyzed the foundations of transcendentalism in terms of the continental tradition. As a philosopher working within the framework of the Cartesian attitude, he posed the same questions as other philosophers after Heidegger - is it possible an alternative to ontotheology, is metaphysics possible after the rejection of metaphysics? But his answer quite accurately reflects both the internal contradictions of phenomenology and the heuristic possibilities of modern non-classical ontology. The purpose of this article is to analyze the idea of L. Tengelyi's metaphysical phenomenology as a methodological project, with an emphasis on the concept of infinity. His work “World and Infinity. Towards the Problem of Phenomenological Metaphysics ”concentrates in itself an analysis of both the prehistory and the prospects of the phenomenological method at the beginning of the 21st century regarding post-metaphysical thinking.

Ensuring the security of information systems of companies is one of the important functions of the Corporate Informatics Department. One effective tool for building secured information systems is to audit their security. This article analyzes the results of 66 security audits in companies in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic during the years 2015-2018. The structure of the audit findings and their groups corresponds to the structure of ISO/IEC 27001: 20013. Using the data, we have formulated two hypotheses. The first hypothesis was about the dependence of the audit results on the size of the company; the second hypothesis examined the dependence of the audit results on the year of its performance. We used Pearson’s chisquare independence test to verify these hypotheses. We have grouped the detailed audit results to provide clear proof. Based on the achieved results, we can say that the analyzed audit results showed the dependence of the audit results on the size of the company as well as on the year the audit was performed. The discussion then explains the reasons for the identified dependencies.

k Vseživljenjsko učenje je postalo potreba za preživetje, znanje pa dominantna konkurenčna prednost in ključ do uspeha posameznika in navsezadnje tudi organizacije, kar navsezadnje vpliva na pojavljanje vedno večjega razkoraka med potrebami trga dela in formalno pridobljenim znanjem. En od načinov za učinkovito zmanjševanje razkoraka med potrebami trga dela in formalno pridobljenim znanjem je stalno prilagajanje in nadgrajevanje že obstoječega znanja in kompetenc ter pridobivanje novih. Ključno vlogo pri tem pa imajo strokovni delavci in izobraževalci odraslih ter njihove delovne kompetence. Ker menimo, da so kakovostno in sistematično izobraženi ter usposobljeni strokovni delavci ključ do dobrih rezultatov, smo pripravili analizo izpopolnjevanja strokovnih delavcev, kjer smo se vprašali se strokovni delavci (ne)udeležujejo izpopolnjevanj in ali se jih ne udeležujejo v večji meri zaradi nezmožnosti financiranja kot pa zaradi prekrivanja z urnikom dela.

This paper researches the role of venture capital and private equity in the entrepreneurial ecosystem by reviewing the literature within that domain. The existing literature, studies and other literature reviews are included in this paper to learn if there is a progress in the field and to collect the most critical data regarding venture capital and private equity in entrepreneurial finance. An analysis is limited to scholarly journal articles and reviews published during the last five years (2014 – 2019) and available within the ISI Web of Science database. To detect current themes in the field, we performed a bibliometric analysis of entrepreneurial equity financing research. By dividing the literature into four clusters that are presenting the main findings within the area, this study provides a better understanding of venture capital and other sources of entrepreneurial funding. The results of this study indicate that the essential benefit that venture capitalists offer to entrepreneurs after financing consists of their involvement, monitoring and advising. This paper highlights the main points that can assist entrepreneurs in understanding the role of venture capital better.

Vojska in njeno usposabljanje, kot temelj suverene države in ključni del nacionalno varnostnega sistema, ima pomembno vlogo pri pripravljenosti na izredne razmere ter varnosti države. Slovenija se sooča s pomanjkanjem stalne in rezervne vojaške sestave. Na podlagi kritičnega pregleda sekundarnih virov in kompilacije smo opisali zakaj je pomembno vojaško usposabljanje ter zakaj je pomemben prenos teh veščin in znanj na civilno prebivalstvo. Podali smo stališča in argumente. Ugotovili smo, da so vojaška znanja in veščine ključne v delovanju izrednih razmer, kot so bile nesreče Černobil 1986, Fukushima Dai-ichi 2011 in avstralski požari 2019-2020; ter, da obstaja več priporočil in pozivov za usposabljanje državljanov. Potrebno je raziskati, katera vojaška znanja in veščine naj prebivalstvo pridobi, ter postaviti model prenosa. Te veščine in znanja so pomembna tako v naravnih in tehnoloških nesrečah, kot v obrambi pred morebitnim sovražnikom. Bolje biti pripravljen v miru, kot nepripravljen v vojni ali izrednih razmerah.

t Strategic business management extends significantly into the logistics processes. Global companies need to maintain their competitive advantage through cooperative activities. This often means collaboration between companies which are in normal conditions, direct competitors. This paper examines and presents the situation of airlines in the United States of Amerika that have created a strategic alliance to expand the potential market for all customers of individual companies. The use of strategic management in similar competitive/cooperative relationships helps to create synergies. From the perspective of the future strategy, the main goal of the process is primarily to connect the internal logistics processes between the individual companies, and subsequently achieve the expansion of the customer base, or to enrich the supply presented for customers of various companies in the strategic alliance. Another important aspect of this collaboration is a marketing survey of customer requirements. In particular, the new trends in transportation, providing up to date information, transparency of the ordering system, improving transport links, and others that the customers require. Effective interconnection of strategic management, logistic operations and marketing of the individual cooperative companies stimulates the creation of synergies, mainly in terms of strengthening the strategic competitiveness on a global scale (new value for customers, growth of market share and the increase of revenues for the cooperative subjects).

Актуальность. Растущее значение международной студенческой миграции связано не только с увеличением числа иностранных студентов по всему миру, но и с ростом политического, экономического и культурного влияния данных процессов, а также с целенаправленной деятельностью стран-экспортеров и вузов по продвижению образовательных программ за рубеж. Одной из наиболее перспективных стран в сфере экспорта образования является Социалистическая Республика Вьетнам (СРВ), находящаяся на восходящем тренде исходящей академической мобильности. Цель статьи – представить результаты исследования лучших практик и используемых российскими вузами инструментов по привлечению студентов из Социалистической Республики Вьетнам. Методология. В рамках проведенного анализа статистических данных Центра социологических исследования Минобрнауки России, Института статистики ЮНЕСКО, анализа открытых источников в сети Интернет и включенного наблюдения в процессе профессиональной деятельности автора были выявлены академические и маркетинговые мероприятия, а также различные форматы взаимодействия со студентами, выпускниками, вьетнамскими организациями и российскими организациями, работающими в СРВ. По результатам исследования установлено, что все изучаемые университеты используют сочетание различных практик, диверсифицируя инструменты рекрутинга и развивая широкое научно-образовательное сотрудничество с Вьетнамом. Были выявлены следующие практики, способствующие успешному привлечению вьетнамских студентов в конкретные образовательные учреждения: проведение олимпиад для вьетнамских школьников; поддержка преподавания и изучения русского языка как иностранного; развитие сотрудничества с университетами и школами Вьетнама, в т. ч. в которых преподается русский язык; работа со студентами и выпускниками университета из СРВ; участие в российско-вьетнамских межгосударственных программах подготовки кадров для СРВ. Вывод: все изучаемые университеты используют сочетание различных вышеперечисленных инструментов в комплексе, не сосредотачиваясь только на одном из них. Уникальные инструменты для рекрутинга вьетнамских студентов используются Дальневосточным федеральным университетом (представительство университета в СРВ, развитие вьетнамистики в университете, участие в деятельности Российско-Вьетнамского Тропического научно-исследовательского и технологического центра); Томским политехническим университетом целенаправленно ведется сотрудничество с вьетнамскими бизнес-компаниями. Особую модель представляет собой экспорт образовательных услуг МИФИ, в котором целевым образом ведется подготовка специалистов из Вьетнама в области атомной энергетики. Реализация этой модели обусловлена отраслевой спецификой университета.
