În pofida accesului universal al pacienților la tratamente stomatologice și la spectrul larg de antibioticoterapie, procesele inflamatorii odontogene rămân a fi o problemă clinică gravă. Severitatea acestor infecții este mai înaltă decât în trecut, ceea ce se datorează multiplelor comorbidități(diabet zaharat,hipertensiune arterială,patologii renale sau hepatice) [2]. Așa dar, solicitând recunoașterea rapidă a patologiei urmată de inițierea tratamentului complex.O altă cauză a agresivității proceselor inflamatorii este rezistența microorganismelor catre antibiotice și tratamentul prescris emperic. În literatura de specialitate sunt descrise mai multe metode de tratament chirurgical, însă nu există un consens clar stabilit în eficiența acestora. În acest scop, ne-am propus efectuarea unui studiu pentru a elucida particularitățile metodelor de tratament chirurgical ale proceselor inflamatorii difuze în regiunea oro-maxilo-facială (OMF). Pacienții au fost divizați în patru grupe cărora au fost aplicate următoarele tactici de tratament: I grupă – deschiderea și drenarea clasică a proceselor inflamatorii cervico-faciale; II grupă – deschiderea proceselor inflamatorii cervico-faciale și aplicarea terapiei cu presiune negativă( VAC); III grupă – deschiderea și drenarea proceselui inflamator cervico-facial, aplicarea suturilor primare; IV grupă– deschiderea și drenarea proceselui inflamator cervico-facial, aplicarea suturilor primare, drenarea activă cu 1 drenaj tip tub o extremitate fiind conectată la sistemul de irigare continuă, altă extremitate fiind conectată la rezervorul de acumulare a lichidelor; Interes științific prezintă elucidarea particularităților metodelor de tratament chirurgical ale proceselor inflamatorii difuze prin compararea diverselor tehnici de prelucrare chirurgicală și drenare a procesului inflamator septico-purulent a spațiilor cervicofaciale.

It is not easy to say when the tendency of story originated in language. One part of human nature is curiosity. Humans are eager to know something or the other. Humans have a strong tendency to listen to stories since childhood. A child naturally wants to hear and know new things. This is not limited to children, even intelligent people pay special attention to things told in the form of stories and listen with interest. That is, the tendency of curiosity gave birth to the story.
Abstract in Hindi Language:
कहानी की प्रवत्ति का उद्भव भाषा में कब हुआ, यह कह सकना सहज बात नहीं है। मानव स्वभाव का एक अंग है-जिज्ञासावत्ति। मानव कुछ न कुछ जानने के लिए उत्सुक-जिज्ञासु होता है। बचपन से ही मनुष्य में कहानी सुनने की प्रबल प्रवत्ति रही है। बच्चा स्वभावतः नयी बातें सुनना-जानना चाहता है। बच्चों तक यह बात सीमित नहीं, समझदार मनुष्य भी कहानी के रूप में कही जाने वाली बातों की ओर विशेष ध्यान देकर दिलचस्पी से सुनता है। अर्थात् कौतूहल की प्रवत्ति ने ही कहानी को जन्म दिया।
Keywords: कहानी, समांतर कहानी, कमलेश्वर, पीढ़ीमुक्त कहानी।

Authors: Agrawal Mitalee
Published: June 2024

The impact of social media on higher education institutions is extensive, making it a crucial focus for studying the role of social media marketing in education. In India, the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) plays a pivotal role in assessing the position of higher education institutes, categorized as public/private and technical/non-technical. NIRF 2022 ranked 1,350 institutes, considering parameters such as academics, research, innovation, financials, graduate outcomes, inclusivity, and perception. While perception holds a 10% weight, it significantly influences other primary parameters. Post-COVID and thanks to rapid digitalization, there has been a significant surge in social media usage by the youth of the country. Consequently, social media has emerged as a prime source of communication for educational institutes as well. This study focuses on analyzing "Digital Marketing Strategies," referred to as "Digital Behaviour," by examining Twitter usage among the top 50 institutes in the NIRF 2022 overall category in India. It also suggests a reference model, FACHIO©, for digital marketing by higher education institutions, which can be followed by institutes abroad. The conclusion discusses how FACHIO© can play a pivotal role in the era of digital marketing in higher education. The basic idea can be utilized to make comparative analyses and develop suitable strategies for digital marketing in other sectors as well.

Development of an Automatic Phase Selector for Nigerian Power Utility Customers
Authors: Adesina Lambe Mutalub , Ogunbiyi Olalekan , Jimada-Ojuolape Bilkisu
Published: July 2024

Power utility customers in a developing country like Nigeria have constituted a habit of changing the electricity supply line from an unavailable or unstable phase to the most available or stable phase. The category of customers involved in this character are those on single phase power supply. However, this act is being carried out manually at the meter point using the cut-out fuses. This attitude results in phase unbalances, overheating electrical equipment including feeder pillars, transformer coils, network faults, and overall system instability. Thus, this paper presents the development of an Automatic Phase Selector for Nigerian Power Utility Customers. The device automatically selects an available phase from the three-phase power supply lines. The research comprises designing an automatic phase selector circuit, simulation of the designed circuit, programming code development in C- Language for the microcontroller, construction of the designed circuit, and carrying out tests on completed work done to ascertain the effectiveness of the developed system. The system operation involved a three-phase supply from the closest distribution network of the power utility company which is connected to a three-in-one gang switch while the switching ON and OFF of their static switches represent phase-off in an ideal situation. The operational results of this system are presented in the form of the truth table which indicates that the affected customer would not have a power supply only when the 3-phases are under voltage or overvoltage or unavailable. This implies that one of the three phases that meet the three criteria would be switched ON. A pure sine wave was used as input into the Optocoupler and the output waveform of the rectified pulsating signal is separately displayed. This output waveform is very clean and noiseless. Finally, the system when practically tested with an unbalanced three-phase supply, worked perfectly enhancing the flexibility of operating an Automatic Phase selector and hence avoiding manual switching of the phase selector which has been attributed to changing of cut-out fuses and associated stress as well as having a user-friendly phase selector.

Authors: Arai Belize Keiko , Andrade Diancarlos Pereira de , Bellani William Augusto Gomes de Oliveira
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Professionalism has been gaining ground in Medicine. It includes constant updates in the medical field, professional confidentiality, good relationships with patients, family members and staff. Objectives: To analyze the level of professionalism among anesthesiology residents in Curitiba and its metropolitan region, Brazil. Methods: The Professionalism Assessment Mini-Exercise (P-MEX) professionalism assessment instrument was self-administered, in the translated and validated version for use in Brazil. A number of 94 invitations were sent via cell phone. A link was sent in which the P-MEX form was available. Data were recorded in a Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet and analyzed using descriptive statistics (Student's t test). Results: 39 responses were obtained (41.5% of the total number of contacts made). The population studied was evaluated within the three Likert scale, that is, a level “within expectations” for professionalism competence. During the medical undergraduate years, when participants were divided into two groups and compared using the Student's t test, it didn´t affect the results (p value>0.05). Unlike the R3 group, which, in the reflective skills dimension, self-assessment was lower than that of R1/R2, with p<0.05. In the type of care, those who worked exclusively with the Unified Health System [SUS], p<0.05 was evidenced in the doctor-patient relationship and reflective skills, with superiority in this group. Age had a significant impact (p<0.05) on the doctor-patient relationship, with older patients showing better performance. Conclusion: P-MEX can be useful in the teaching-learning process of professionalism, as it can promote reflection and contribute to the future anesthetist's commitment to society.

Authors: Ibrahim Alaa Ghazi , Thomas Lena Murad
Published: July 2024

Background: Bilastine is a non-sedating, second-generation antihistamine used to treat urticaria and allergic conjunctivitis. Objective: to formulate and test bilastine as a mucoadhesive ophthalmic in situ gel in order to extend its presence at site for longer time and help treat conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis. Methods: We prepared formulations using different concentrations of poloxamers (Poloxamer 407 (P407) and Poloxamer 188 (P188)) in combination with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC). The prepared formulas were evaluated for their physicochemical properties, sol-gel transition temperature, viscosity, mucoadhesive strength, drug release, and kinetic modeling. Results: The prepared in situ gels were clear and transparent, having a pH ranging from 7.4 to 7.5 and a gelation temperature between 29.5 and 34.7 °C. Increasing the concentrations of P-407 and HPMC increased viscosity, gel strength, and mucoadhesion force, but caused a decrease in gelation temperature and drug release. Formula (F 14) containing P 407/P 188/HPMC as 19/4/0.75% w/v, respectively, exhibited favorable characteristics, including optimal gelation temperature (33°C), drug content (93%), gel strength (40 sec), mucoadhesive force (6125 dyne/cm2), and 91.4% in vitro drug release over 5 hours. Conclusions: The bilastine mucoadhesive in situ gel formulation is presented as a promising ophthalmic formulation for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis.
Natalitas Politik: Kelahiran Manusia Politik Dalam Teori Politik Hannah Arendt
Authors: Tuwanakotta Jacqueline
Published: July 2024

Pembahasan tentang teori politik Hannah Arendt, seringkali dimulai dengan melihat perbedaan antara kondisi yang politis dan apolitis, seperti pembahasan tentang kekuasaan dan sistem politik dalam suatu negara. Sementara itu, peristiwa politik selalu melibatkan pelaku politik yaitu manusia itu sendiri. Manusia sebagai pelaku politik memiliki peran penting bukan saja ketika dia masuk dalam ruang publik melainkan dimulai sejak dia lahir. Hannah Arendt mengatakan tindakan manusia sangat berhubungan erat dengan kondisi natalitas atau kelahirannya di dunia. Artinya, kondisi natalitas sebagai permulaan baru yang melekat dalam kelahiran, dapat dirasakan di dunia hanya bila seorang pendatang baru mempunyai kapasitas untuk memulai sesuatu yang baru, yaitu bertindak (action). Artikel ini akan membahas tentang kondisi natalitas manusia yang menjadi dasar penting dalam teori politik Hannah Arendt. Pembahasan ini akan dimulai dengan mengupas tentang proses natalitas manusia ke dunia serta keberadaannya di dunia yang memiliki kepedulian pada sesama (neighbour), sampai kepada keterlibatan manusia di ranah publik untuk mewujudkan dirinya sebagai manusia politik.
The Indo-Afghan Nexus and its Implications for Pakistan from 2001 to 2014
Authors: Alvi Ifrah Khalid
Published: July 2024

India and Pakistan have been colonized at different times, but Afghanistan has never been colonized. The people of Afghanistan have always had friendly ties with the people of the United Subcontinent. However, the development of a new country called Pakistan was seen as both a threat and a way for the people of Afghanistan and India to become less connected to each other historically. The friendship pact of 1950 strengthened the relationship between India and Afghanistan. In fact, Afghanistan was the only country that voted against Pakistan's membership in the UN. Pakistan and Afghanistan have a lot in common, including language, culture, and religion, but their relationship has not been strong. With its many-sided strategies, India has been trying to undermine Pakistan's peace and security ever since it was formed. India's plan to cut Pakistan off from its neighbors is a very bad sign for Pakistan. Pakistan is very worried about the Indian presence in Afghanistan because there are consulates in Kandahar and Jalalabad, which are close to the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Afghan Taliban were very angry at Pakistan because of the US war on terror and Pakistan's change in policy towards the Taliban.
Divided Devotion: A Historical Exploration of Bismarck's Kulturkampf and its Impact on German Society
Authors: Farrukh Gul
Published: July 2024

This study examines the Kulturkampf, a major 19th-century German event in which Otto von Bismarck fought to limit Catholic influence in politics. Catholicism remained a powerful influence in German society despite Bismarck's efforts, posing a difficult challenge to the mid-1800s political scene. Start with the Kulturkampf, the Catholic Church's fight to adapt to liberal ideals, democracy, nationalism, socialism, and the industrial revolution. Liberal Catholicism's answer to modernity is analyzed, focusing on Ignaz von Dollinger, who strove to reconcile faith with intellectual currents. The paper discusses the First Vatican Council in 1870, which introduced papal infallibility, and liberal Catholicism's downfall. Germany is highlighted because Catholicism suffered ideological struggles and gained academic support as a secular, Protestant-influenced religion. Bismarck's Catholicism onslaught from 1853-54 to the Kulturkampf of the 1870s is examined. Bismarck's fears of Catholic violence and a Catholic plot are examined in the study. The issue deepened in 1873 when the May Laws sought state control over the Catholic Church. The Prussian bishops' resistance to the May Laws led to incarceration, penalties, and institution closures. Bismarck's authoritarianism failed to suppress Catholicism despite overwhelming opposition. Conclusions highlight the Kulturkampf legislation' impact on church-state relations and the reduction of anti-Catholic measures. This paper analyzes historical events to reveal Bismarck's political maneuvers, the Catholic Church's struggles, and the Kulturkampf's lasting effects on 19th-century Germany's religious and political landscape.

Published: July 2024

We report the occurrence of an epiphytic, gemmiferous moss, Aptychella robusta (Pylaisiadelphaceae), as an addition to the bryoflora of India. The species was collected from the north-facing mesic site within the Oak forest in the Gairsain area of Chamoli district, Uttarakhand. Earlier, the species was known only from East Asia, Australia, and Central and South America. As A. robusta shows a close morphological resemblance with A. planula, therefore, we amplified and sequenced its rbcL DNA-barcode region. Its comparison with the available rbcL sequences of A. robusta and A. planula on the NCBI database further validated the identity of the moss as A. robusta. The key morphological characteristics of this taxon and the rbcL amplicon have been given for future reference.

Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the Brand Image of Shein, an international fast-fashion platform, via the analysis of comments from YouTube. The analysis based on the MDCOR software concludes the thousands of comments representative of the brand image through a select amount of the most representative comments. The comments are inputted into Wijayas theoretical model on brand image. The result concludes Sheins Brand Image is primarily negative and is associated with undesirable elements such as fast fashion, poor value, and labor right violations.

Authors: Zhang Daoheng
Published: July 2024

In Australia, the issue of income and wealth inequality has steadily intensified over the past few decades, posing a concerning trend in this developed nation. This rising economic disparity not only impacts the financial well-being of citizens but also affects the national economy and political landscape. John Passant, who is committed to investigating ways to alleviate inequality in Australia, has put forth a tax reform proposal encompassing two distinct approaches--Buffet Rule for both individuals and companies and wealth taxes. However, it is essential to note that two other papers present contrasting viewpoints, casting doubt on the effectiveness of Passant's proposals. These two papers raise specific points of contention, prompting a nuanced and skeptical examination of Passant's suggestions, considering the diverse perspectives and empirical evidence presented. In evaluate, mitigating the income and wealth inequality in Australia necessitates a comprehensive and well-informed approach that takes into account the broader economic and social context.
