The essay for the National Secondary School Examination – ENEM, has shown a challenging reference for teachers and students, considering the peculiarities of the required textual typology, - argumentative dissertation, whose production is shaped from the requirements present in the Participant’s Cartilha, one of the offi cial documents from INEP, which guides the referred test. It is necessary to emphasize the lack and precariousness of writing laboratories in public schools, of teaching actions that prioritize interactive content, of better teacher x student connection, among other factors, has motivated continuous research in this regard. Regarding this test, with regard to the requirements of writing, it is visible that these end up impacting teaching practices in relation to the teaching of writing, especially in the 3rd grade, when Portuguese Language and Writing classes are aimed at preparing this exam. It was possible to understand from the research about students with diff erent levels of writing, argumentation, as well as teachers with an extensive workload that makes it diffi cult to provide individual and productive feedback for the work. This article aims to know and refl ect on the infl uence of the ENEM Writing test on the methodological practices of Portuguese Language teachers, to understand how this materializes in the teaching routine. It is also the intention of this, to know the opinion of teachers from public high school systems about the ENEM Writing test, considering their importance in the process of renewing teaching practices in schools. During the research, it was possible to perceive that the teacher’s work, in the experience of textual production, is partly marked by the guidelines contained in the Participant’s Handbook, which makes this action focused on training a writing limited to the molds proposed by ENEM.

The National Common Curricular Base for Early Childhood Education (BNCC) is an essential document that guides the educational process in Brazil, providing guidelines for curriculum organization in the initial stage of education. In this article, we discuss the signifi cance of the BNCC in structuring the curriculum in Early Childhood Education, highlighting its methodology of implementation and the expected outcomes for the holistic development of children. To achieve this, we employed a methodology of documentary studies, analysis of educational legislation, and a review of related research literature. Through data collection and synthesis, we aimed to emphasize the principles and objectives of the BNCC, its pedagogical guidelines, and its contribution to curriculum structuring in this educational stage. As a result, we identifi ed that the BNCC aims to promote the holistic development of children, encompassing cognitive, socio-emotional, physical, and cultural aspects. By proposing a curriculum based on these guidelines, we seek to ensure that all children have meaningful and age-appropriate learning opportunities according to their developmental stage. The curriculum becomes more fl exible and contextualized, recognizing the importance of considering each school’s particularities and valuing cultural and regional diversity. Furthermore, the BNCC guarantees rights and equity, as it establishes learning rights for all children in early childhood education, regardless of their origin, social status, or specifi c needs. Organizing the curriculum based on these rights aims to promote educational equity and combat inequalities. The BNCC also highlights the signifi cance of play as a pedagogical principle, recognizing it as a form of expression, learning, and child development. By organizing the curriculum based on this principle, the role of play in the educational process is valued, providing playful and creative moments for children.

İbn Kemmûne’nin Nefsin Ezelî ve Ebedî Olduğunu İspatlamada Kullandığı Deliller
Authors: Türkmen Ersan
Published: February 2024

Bu çalışmada İbn Kemmûne’nin nefsin kıdemi ve sonsuzluğu kanıtlamak için kullandığı deliller incelenmektedir. İbn Kemmûne felsefenin çeşitli alanlarında şerh ve telif mahiyetinde çok sayıda eser kaleme almıştır. Bu eserlerin çoğunda da nefs konusundan söz etmiştir. Filozofun telif ettiği eserlerinin içeriği dikkate alındığında, özellikle bu konuda İşrâk felsefesinden etkilenmiş, Meşşâî yönelime sahip bir düşünür olduğu söylenebilir. Fakat o, nefsin kadim olduğunu söyleyerek Meşşâi filozoflardan ayrılmaktadır. Esasında bu düşünce Eflatûncu bir düşünce olsa da İbn Kemmûne düşüncesini Meşşâî yöntemlere bağlı kalarak savunmaya çalışmıştır. Filozof düşüncesini ispatlamak için de Ezeliyyetü’n-nefsi ve bekâuhâ ve ebediyyetü’-nefs ve bekâuhâ ve besatatuhâ adlı iki risalesini yazmıştır. Söz konusu eserlerde filozofun özgün olduğunu iddia ettiği kanıtı, birçok mukaddimeden oluşsa da aslında nefsin mizaç ve bileşik olmaması düşüncesi üzerine kuruludur. Bu sebeple filozof öncelikle kanıtının dayandığı iddiaları ispatlar. Nefsin basit olduğunu ispatladıktan sonra da illetinin basit olmasının gerekli olduğunu ifade eder. Bu şekilde nefsin yakın nedeninin basit, kadim ve zorunlu olan ilk illet olduğunu ileri sürer. Buna bağlı olarak da filozof “malul illetiyle kaimdir” kaidesine dayanarak nefs kadim olduğunu söyler. Aynı kaideden dolayı da nefsin ezelî olduğunu ileri sürer.
Intermediate ions as indicator for local new particle formation

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Atmospheric aerosol particles have considerable influences on climate via both aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions. A major fraction of global aerosol particles, in terms of their number concentration, is due to atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) that involves both neutral and charged clusters and particles. NPF is the major source of atmospheric intermediate ions, i.e., charged particles with mobility diameters between approx. 2 and 7 nm. We investigate ion concentrations between 1.7 and 3.1 nm at the SMEAR II measurement station in Hyytiälä, Finland. Both negative and positive ion number size distributions measured by Neutral cluster and Air Ion Spectrometer (NAIS) are used. Our aim is finding the best size range of ions for characterizing local intermediate ion formation (LIIF). Intermediate ion formation (IIF) refers to the formation of intermediate ions through NPF, while local means that the growth of such ions from smaller clusters has occurred in a close proximity to the measurement site, i.e., locally. We find that the ions in the mobility diameter size range of 2.0–2.3 nm are the best suited for characterization of LIIF. The ion concentrations in this size range indicate the elevated rates of IIF, and the potential distances the growing ions have traveled are smaller than those for larger ions. In addition, in Hyytiälä, the negative ion concentrations are more sensitive to IIF than the positive ion concentrations. Therefore, we recommend the concentrations of ions with diameters 2.0–2.3 nm as the best choice for characterization of LIIF.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. At the land–sea interface, the benthic carbon cycle is strongly influenced by the export of terrigenous particulate material across the river–ocean continuum. Episodic flood events delivering massive sedimentary materials can occur, but their short-term impact on carbon cycling is poorly understood. In this paper, we use a coupled data–model approach to estimate the temporal variations in sediment–water fluxes, biogeochemical pathways and their reaction rates during these abrupt phenomena. We studied one episodic depositional event in the vicinity of the Rhône River mouth (NW Mediterranean Sea) during the fall–winter of 2021/22. The distributions of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), sulfate (SO42-) and methane (CH4) were measured in sediment porewaters collected every 2 weeks before and after the deposition of a 25 cm sediment layer during the main winter flood event. Significant changes in the distribution of DIC, SO42- and CH4 concentrations were observed in the sediment porewaters. The use of an early diagenetic model (FESDIA) to calculate biogeochemical reaction rates and fluxes revealed that this type of flood event can increase the total organic carbon mineralization rate in the sediment by 75 % a few days after deposition. In this period, sulfate reduction is the main process contributing to the increase in total mineralization relative to non-flood deposition. The model predicts a short-term decrease in the DIC flux out of the sediment from 100 to 55 mmolm-2d-1 after the deposition of the new sediment layer with a longer-term increase by 4 %, therefore implying an initial internal storage of DIC in the newly deposited layer and a slow release over relaxation of the system. Furthermore, examination of the stoichiometric ratios of DIC and SO42- as well as model output over this 5-month window shows a decoupling between the two modes of sulfate reduction following the deposition – organoclastic sulfate reduction (OSR) intensified in the newly deposited layer below the sediment surface, whereas anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) intensified at depth below the former buried surface. The bifurcation depth of sulfate reduction pathways, i.e., the sulfate–methane transition zone (SMTZ), is shifted deeper by 25 cm in the sediment column following the flood deposition. Our findings highlight the significance of short-term transient biogeochemical processes at the seafloor and provide new insights into the benthic carbon cycle in the coastal ocean.
Investigating ecosystem connections in the shelf sea environment using complex networks
Authors: Higgs Ieuan , Skákala Jozef , Bannister Ross , Carrassi Alberto , Ciavatta Stefano
Published: February 2024

Abstract. We use complex network theory to better represent and understand the ecosystem connectivity in a shelf sea environment. The baseline data used for the analysis are obtained from a state-of-the-art coupled marine physics–biogeochemistry model simulating the North West European Shelf (NWES). The complex network built on model outputs is used to identify the functional groups of variables behind the biogeochemistry dynamics, suggesting how to simplify our understanding of the complex web of interactions within the shelf sea ecosystem. We demonstrate that complex networks can also be used to understand spatial ecosystem connectivity, identifying both the (geographically varying) connectivity length-scales and the clusters of spatial locations that are connected. We show that the biogeochemical length-scales vary significantly between variables and are not directly transferable. We also find that the spatial pattern of length-scales is similar across each variable, as long as a specific scaling factor for each variable is taken into account. The clusters indicate geographical regions within which there is a large exchange of information within the ecosystem, while information exchange across the boundaries between these regions is limited. The results of this study describe how information is expected to propagate through the shelf sea ecosystem, and how it can be used in multiple future applications such as stochastic noise modelling, data assimilation, or machine learning.
Effective diffusivity of sulfuric acid in Antarctic ice cores

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Deposition of sulfuric acid in ice cores is important both for understanding past volcanic activity and for synchronizing ice core timescales. Sulfuric acid has a low eutectic point, so it can potentially exist in liquid at grain boundaries and veins, accelerating chemical diffusion. A high effective diffusivity would allow post-depositional diffusion to obscure the climate history and the peak matching among older portions of ice cores. Here, we use records of sulfate from the European Project of Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) Dome C (EDC) ice core to estimate the effective diffusivity of sulfuric acid in ice. We focus on EDC because multiple glacial–interglacial cycles are preserved, allowing analysis for long timescales and deposition in similar climates. We calculate the mean concentration gradient and the width of prominent volcanic events, and analyze the evolution of each with depth and age. We find the effective diffusivities for interglacial and glacial maximums to be 5±3×10-9 m2 a−1, an order of magnitude lower than a previous estimate derived from the Holocene portion of EDC (Barnes et al., 2003). The effective diffusivity may be even smaller if the bias from artificial smoothing from the sampling is accounted for. Effective diffusivity is not obviously affected by the ice temperature until about −10 ∘C, 3000 m depth, which is also where anomalous sulfate peaks begin to be observed (Traversi et al., 2009). Low effective diffusivity suggests that sulfuric acid is not readily diffusing in liquid-like veins in the upper portions of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and that records may be preserved in deep, old ice if the ice temperature remains well below the pressure melting point.
Evaluating adsorption isotherm models for determining the partitioning of ammonium between soil and soil-pore water in environmental soil samples
Authors: Davis Matthew Gordon , Yan Kevin , Murphy Jennifer Grace
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Ammonium in soil pore water is thought to participate in bidirectional exchange with the atmosphere; however, common soil nutrient analysis methods determine the bulk quantity of ammonium associated with the soil particles, rather than determining the aqueous ammonium concentration. Previous works have applied the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations to ammonium-enriched soils to estimate partitioning, but this may not be representative of conditions in natural, unmanaged soils. In this work, environmental soil samples were collected from greenspaces in Toronto and used to evaluate several commonly used adsorption isotherm equations, including the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Toth equations, to determine their applicability in lightly managed and non-fertilized soils. We then compare ammonia emission potentials (a quantity predicting the propensity of ammonia to volatilize from a liquid reservoir) calculated using a conventional nutrient analysis method to that modelled using the Temkin and Langmuir equations, and demonstrate that conventional approaches may overestimate emission potentials from soils by a factor of 5 – 12.

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Identifying and quantifying irreducible and reducible uncertainties in the Antarctic Ice Sheet response to future climate change is essential for guiding mitigation and adaptation policy decision. However, the impact of the irreducible internal climate variability, resulting from processes intrinsic to the climate system, remains poorly understood and quantified. Here, we characterise both the atmospheric and oceanic internal climate variability in a selection of three CMIP6 models (UKESM1-0-LL, IPSL-CM6A-LR and MPI-ESM1.2-HR) and estimate their impact on the Antarctic contribution to sea level over the 21st century under the SSP2-4.5 scenario. To achieve this, we use a standalone ice-sheet model driven by the ocean through parameterised basal melting and by the atmosphere through emulated surface mass balance estimates. Internal climate variability affects the Antarctic contribution to changes in sea level until 2100 by 45 % to 93 % depending on the CMIP6 model. This may be a low estimate as the internal climate variability in the CMIP models is likely underestimated. For all the three climate models and for most Antarctic regions, the effect of atmospheric internal climate variability on the surface mass balance overwhelms the effect of oceanic internal climate variability on the dynamical ice-sheet mass loss by more than a factor of 3. The atmospheric internal climate variability is similar in the three CMIP6 models analysed in this study. Conversely, the amplitude of oceanic internal climate variability around Antarctica strongly depends on the climate model as underestimated convection, due to either biases in the sea-ice behaviour or in the ocean stratification, leads to weak mid-depth ocean variability. We then issue recommendations for future ice-sheet projections: use several members in the run and in its initialisation, favor 50-year averages to correct or weight simulations over the present-day period, and couple ice-sheet and climate models.

Abstract. Vermicular Ridge Features (VRFs) comprise a series of ridges and troughs with a circular, sinuous, and anastomosing morphology composed of clast-rich sandy diamict. VRFs were first reported on the south coast of Devon Island, Nunavut, Canada, in the Dundas Harbour region. Here, we document the presence of VRFs near Mokka Fjord on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, Canada. We utilize field observations, ultra high resolution LiDAR, and ground penetrating radar to characterize and compare the morphometry and sedimentology of VRFs near Mokka Fjord to other periglacial, paraglacial, and glacial landforms. VRFs near Mokka Fjord have a diameter ranging from 6 to 37 m and reach up to 1.5 m in height. They comprise clast-rich glaciofluvial sediment and till. A leading periglacial (i.e., segregation ice features/lithalsas) and glacial (i.e., ring-ridge moraines and kame/kettled terraces) origin are presented. We interpret Mokka Fjord VRFs to be an ice-marginal feature resulting from paraglacial ablation of buried glacial ice producing a hummocky ring-ridge moraine comprised of ice marginal and supra- and englacial debris. This formation mechanism would infer a largely polythermal glacial environment with limited water supply. Likely from occasional warm-based periods at the ice margins which may allow sediment output and ice burial from basal ice debris redistribution or the thinning and subsequent burial of snout ice from glaciofluvial outwash.
Leveraging gauge networks and strategic discharge measurements to aid the development of continuous streamflow records
Authors: Vlah Michael J. , Ross Matthew R. V. , Rhea Spencer , Bernhardt Emily S.
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Quantifying continuous discharge can be difficult, especially for nascent monitoring efforts, due to the challenges of establishing gauging locations, sensor protocols, and installations. Some continuous discharge series generated by the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) during its pre- and early-operational phases (2015–present) are marked by anomalies related to sensor drift, gauge movement, and incomplete rating curves. Here, we investigate the potential to estimate continuous discharge when discrete streamflow measurements are available at the site of interest. Using field-measured discharge as truth, we reconstructed continuous discharge for all 27 NEON stream gauges via linear regression on nearby donor gauges and/or prediction from neural networks trained on a large corpus of established gauge data. Reconstructions achieved median efficiencies of 0.83 (Nash–Sutcliffe, or NSE) and 0.81 (Kling–Gupta, or KGE) across all sites and improved KGE at 11 sites versus published data, with linear regression generally outperforming deep learning approaches due to the use of target site data for model fitting rather than evaluation only. Estimates from this analysis inform ∼199 site-months of missing data in the official record, and can be used jointly with NEON data to enhance the descriptive and predictive value of NEON's stream data products. We provide 5 min composite discharge series for each site that combine the best estimates across modeling approaches and NEON's published data. The success of this effort demonstrates the potential to establish “virtual gauges”, sites at which continuous streamflow can be accurately estimated from discrete measurements, by transferring information from nearby donor gauges and/or large collections of training data.

The escalating Cold War of the 1960s, the "post-Stalin" era of politics, and the
internal political processes known as the "Khrushchev thaw" all left their mark on the
USSR republics, inflaming the populace. The novel concepts being explored in patriotic
groups in the member nations were at odds with the totalitarian reality of the Soviet Union
and went against the doctrine and laws of the state. The term "dissent" is used, and
dissident movements emerge with varying traits and conditions depending on the
population.
The article's goal is to examine and thoroughly portray the characteristics and
conditions that led to the birth of the dissident movement in Soviet Armenia.
The aim was to investigate and analyze the internal political and geopolitical
developments taking place in the USSR, which directly affected the deterioration of public
opinion and the rise of discord, in order to achieve the goal.

Nevertheless, the study not only has a focus on ER whilst considering it an essence of anthropology but also carries importance for overall qualitative research field. It has mainly discussed the core definitions of ethnography, history, and background with respect to its relevance in anthropology. In the beginning, the researcher formulated the experimental question of what standard procedure must execute for conducting ethnography and how it could be found constructive in ethnographic research. The study has a basic purpose to build a guidance module for the ethnographers and researchers, especially in the domain of anthropology across social sciences. The researcher has employed SLR methodology to generate analysis on the sourced data in relevance to research question. The collection of data administered through retrieving sample of articles that was 21 and sourced via database i.e. googlescholar.com with the administration of SLR based sampling technique. The data was screened in a repeated manner for analysis purpose while building LS (Link strengths among articles) to end the research with striking conclusions. The study has brought forth the results about a number of steps for execution of ER (Ethnographic Research). The significant research findings have provided the pathways to learn the standard procedure of ethnography and identified gaps in the already conducted previous ethnographic research that can ultimately orient the researchers to be mindful in avoiding the production of ambiguous ethnographic research that are non-standard as per the demanding criteria of research in anthropology.

Authors: O. A. Rachel , A. O. Christiana
Published: February 2024

Clients undergoing infertility treatment usually face a multitude of psychosocial challenges as well as the stigma associated with childlessness. In order to alleviate these issues, psychosocial support strategies are put in place. The strategies target emotional, social, mental, and spiritual needs, with studies confirming the importance of psychosocial support in assisted reproductive technology management. This study explored psychosocial support strategies for reducing psychological distress among clients attending an assisted reproductive center in South West, Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 10 participants who met the inclusion criteria. In-depth interview was conducted to gather qualitative data which was analyzed using themes and subthemes. The themes identified are: family support, spiritual support, avoidance strategies and professionalism of healthcare workers. It was therefore concluded that psychosocial support strategies are necessary to reduce the psychological distress that usually accompanies infertility and assisted reproductive technology. It may also improve the outcome of the treatment.

Published: February 2024

Biometric authentication is an efficient system associated with a person’s behavioural and physiological characteristics. The palm vein technology is a promising technology to recognize and identify the vein patterns of a person’s palm as a personal identification tool. The vein patterns of the palm exist beneath the skin and hence, it is very difficult to forge. Moreover, the palm vein patterns for every patient, including twins are different and unique. However, this pattern is persistent throughout the lifetime of the patient. This technology can be ideally useful for recognizing specific patients and keeping their records more accurately. The accuracy of this technology is not affected by factors like skin diseases, injuries, surface and subcutaneous nature of the palm. The technology is non-invasive and aseptic for use in public areas. This biometric authentication system will be useful for inpatients, outpatients and patients in ICU, emergency wards, even unconscious patients too. As there are lots of similarities in many patient’s names, birth dates, etc. there are many chances of errors in the authentication process. These errors lead to mismatch and interchange of the data resulting in serious issues. In order to minimize all these problems, palm vein technology will be the best tool. In this review, the authors discussed palm vein technology, its significance and the way this system is applicable in biometric authentication of patients and their safety.
Recovery of a tropical coral reef in the aftermath of a cyclone: insights into postdisturbance dynamics and conservation strategies
Authors: Anto A , Sreenath KR , Ranjith L , Aju KR
Published: February 2024

Over the past decade, the Arabian Sea has witnessed an increase in tropical cyclones during the pre- monsoon and post-monsoon months, resulting in heightened devastation across the vulnerable low-lying coral islands in the Lakshadweep Sea along the southwest coast of India. Our underwater
survey-based study—focused on Kavaratti Atoll in the Lakshadweep group, India—provides groundbreaking evidence on the rapid recovery potential of coral reefs following severe cyclonic events, a globally relevant concern given increasing climate change impacts. The observed coral
recovery rate was significantly faster than expected, showing that recovery rates can differ in coral reefs of different regions. The recovery was primarily facilitated by quick-growing coral genera such as Pocillopora and Acropora, leading to a shift in the coral assemblage.
The recovery by these fast-growing corals highlights their role as early succession species, pivotal in the initial stages of reef recovery. The findings of this study underscore the crucial significance of ongoing monitoring, maintaining reef connectivity, and establishing marine protected
areas for the conservation of less-studied remote reef systems.

Quimiodectomas são neoplasias que afetam os quimiorreceptores das artérias carótidas e aórticas na base do coração, ocorrendo predominantemente em cães braquicefálicos. Este estudo relata um caso de quimiodecitoma em uma cadela de 12 anos, pesando 8,1 kg, atendida no Hospital Veterinário da Uniube. Os sinais clínicos incluíam dispneia inspiratória, apatia e fraqueza. Exames complementares, incluindo ecocardiografia, revelaram uma massa sugestiva na base do coração, confirmada como quimiodectoma por histologia. No eletrocardiograma, observou-se taquicardia sinusal (média de 185 bpm) e diminuição da amplitude do complexo QRS. Na necropsia, foi identificada uma massa amolecida de 5 cm x 3 cm no tronco aórtico, juntamente com a presença de hidropericárdio e hidrotórax. Destaca-se a importância de incluir essa neoplasia como fator preditivo para insuficiência cardíaca congestiva, ressaltando a necessidade de realização de exames de imagem em animais com sintomas cardiovasculares.

Oral candidiasis can be influenced by underlying systemic conditions and may indicate undiagnosed immunosuppression. On the other hand candidiasis can impact overall health by limiting nutritional intake
and leading to severe complications, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
This article presents the general predisposing factors that can contribute to the development of oral candidiasis. These factors encompass pregnancy, immune immaturity in newborns, advanced age, nutritional
elements such as iron and folate deficiency, endocrine disorders like diabetes, malignancies, and hematologic disorders, renal conditions, immunosuppression, congenital ailments, and the use of psychotropic substances.
The significance of monitoring and appropriately treating oral candidiasis within an interdisciplinary approach is underscored. Prevention and efficient management of these infections are crucial for patients with
systemic conditions, aiding in the avoidance of complications and recurrences.
AWARENESS ABOUT HPV: A CALL TO IMPROVE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND PUBLIC HEALTH CAMPAIGNS TO LIMIT THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS

Dear Editor, I am writing this letter to express my opinion about the article "Knowledge, Attitudes and Beliefs about HPV Infection and HPV Vaccines in Romanian Medical Students", published în the Roum Arch Microbiol Immunol., 2021;80(1):22-35 [1]. The study reveals the alarming lack of awareness and understanding about HPV infection and vaccination among some of the future medical professionals in Romania, which has significant consequences for public health and the overall preparedness of the medical system in Romania. The questionnaire, involving more than 1000 medical students from the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, has revealed the lack of change in perception, knowledge, and action among the students regarding HPV over the years 2016 to 2018. It would be a good idea, if it is possible, to make statistics with a larger range (to include students from other medical universities across Romania for example) to see if the percentages are similar and to get a more precise idea of the awareness of other future medical specialists throughout Romania. It would be even better if such a study is conducted in other Eastern European countries like Bulgaria, for example, since in recent years there has been a decreased mortality rate of cervical cancer in Western and Central European countries, but increasing in Eastern European ones. Statistically speaking, every day a woman dies in Bulgaria as a result of cervical cancer, and 43 women are diagnosed with the disease every day. According to the World Health Organization and the Bulgarian Ministry of Health, only 3% of the population has been vaccinated against HPV in Bulgaria. A similar study from another country would help the data obtained to be compared which in turn might help health specialists/ organisations to compare and discuss the different methods/ideas that are applied in the respective countries.

Drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a hurdle in controlling pulmonary tuberculosis. The mucocutaneous tissues, including the oral mucosa, can be impacted by DR-TB medication, although infrequent. Highlighting Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) as a rare oral finding of drug side effects in DR-TB patients. Two male patients in DR-TB Clinic RSUD Tangerang City were referred to the Oral Medicine Clinic for complaints in the oral cavity. Treatment for DR-TB was given to the patient in months 8 and 11. The microscopic examination and sputum culture were negative when consulted. The patient denied any oral cavity complaints before being diagnosed with DR-TB. The intraoral clinical examination showed erosive lesions with a white keratinized plaque on the lips, buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, and tongue consistent with OLP. Pharmacological management involved using corticosteroids for mouthwash and lip ointment with responsive results. Scheduled oral hygiene was also planned to eliminate focus infection in the oral cavity. OLP is a chronic inflammation of the oral mucosa mediated by immunological mechanisms and triggered by various agents. Drugs are one of the known triggers of OLP lesions. The findings of side effects in the oral mucosa tissue are believed to be a result of the DR-TB regimen of these two patients. Long-term drug use triggers the development of OLP in patients with DR-TB. OLP is an oral mucosa finding of drug side effects that is rarely reported in DR-TB patients.
