Dental School Faculty Attitudes Toward Dental Therapy: A Four‐Year Follow‐Up
Authors: Self Karl D. , Lopez Naty , Blue Christine M.
Published: April 2017

This study is a follow‐up to a 2010 study at one U.S. dental school that found faculty attitudes toward the dental therapy model were mixed and there was a clear divide in attitudes between faculty members who were full‐time educators and part‐timers who also practiced outside the educational institution. The aim of this study was to determine faculty attitudes toward and perceptions of the dental therapy model at the same school four years after implementation of the dental therapy program. The identical questionnaire used in 2010 was used in this survey conducted from November 2013 to January 2014. All 254 full‐time and part‐time faculty members were invited to participate; responses were received from 75 faculty members, for a 30% response rate. Four years after the initial survey, the respondents showed greater acceptance of dental therapists and of dental therapy as a mechanism for addressing access to care problems. A majority of the respondents reported feeling a personal responsibility to ensuring the dental therapy model succeeded (52%); indicated being comfortable having a dental therapist provide care for their patients (60%); and agreed that the ability to delegate work to a dental therapist would make a dentist's job more satisfying (54%). Faculty members who also worked in a private practice viewed the role of dental therapists in private practice more favorably in 2014 than in 2010. This study provides insight into how attitudes of educators toward a new profession evolve over time. The faculty appeared to be undergoing a reorientation on the topic of dental therapy. This transition in point of view may have been facilitated by factors such as continued exposure to the new professionals, information sharing, and time.

The aim of this study was to investigate the stress level of medical and dental students at Kuwait University after a case‐based integrated curriculum replaced the former subject‐based curriculum. A modified version of the Dental Environment Stress questionnaire was used to measure possible stressors for both medical and dental students. The investigators administered the questionnaire for the first time in 2008, when Kuwait University medical and dental schools followed a subject‐based curriculum (group A). The same questionnaire was administered for a second time in 2014, when both medical and dental schools had adopted a case‐based integrated curriculum (group B). A total of 345 fifth‐ and sixth‐year medical and dental students responded to the questionnaire (group A=187, group B=158), with an overall 83% response rate. The results showed that, for both the dental and medical students, changing to a case‐based integrated curriculum raised the stress level for most of the stressors evaluated. “Inconsistency of feedback on work between different instructors,” “difficulties in communicating with teaching staff,” “amount of assigned class work,” and “examinations and grades” were some of the statistically significant stressors for group B students. Female students reported higher levels of stress than male students in both groups. These results suggest that introducing stress management education into the case‐based integrated dental and medical curricula could enhance students’ psychological well‐being.
Escuela normal-sociedad Una nueva relación de identidad y tradición en la formación de maestros
Authors: Soto Salas Héctor Manuel
Published: April 2017

Por razones históricas, la escuela normal y el maestro, fueron pensados como instrumentos para cohesionar a la sociedad civil con la sociedad política; en el viejo país, la normal fue una identidad para consolidar la construcción de la nacionalidad con una nueva ética ciudadana. Esta fue la base de su tradición y de su identidad en la historia del oficio de maestro, sobre la cual se construyó la primera relación normal –sociedad. El normalismo en Colombia como en América Latina, es parte de un gran relato que ayudó a sostener y darle fortaleza, a los grandes proyectos de desarrollo y de democracia, pero las nuevas políticas, derivadas de los recientes modos de producción, lo la desplazaron, debilitaron y marginaron hasta su casi desaparición. Hoy, desde la reestructuración y acreditación se construye una nueva relación normal –sociedad necesaria para una nueva sociedad y nueva educación.

La investigación, titulada, Conocimiento Didáctico del Contenido en Maestros en Formación del programa de Licenciatura en Educación Básica con énfasis en Ciencias Naturales y Educación Ambiental de la Corporación Universitaria del Caribe-CECAR. Trazó como objetivo determinar el grado de implementación del Paradigma Conocimiento Didáctico del Contenido-CDC, en la formación de los Maestros del programa de Licenciatura en educación básica con énfasis en Ciencias Naturales y Educación ambiental, de la Corporación Universitaria del Caribe-CECAR y buscar un fortalecimiento del aprendizaje, de saberes específicos y apropiación del pensamiento científico. Partiendo del pilotaje realizado a estudiantes y docentes de VII, VIII y IX Semestre, determinamos que la metodología a utilizar debía ser aquella donde analizáramos realidades y comportamientos y así se hizo conveniente la utilización del enfoque cualitativo, el cual nos permitió desarrollar una serie de actividades donde se obtuvieron resultados satisfactorio, puesto que logramos cambiar la estructura mentales y de percepción de la comunidad académica participante, que en su momento desconocía el CDC y su aplicación, a lo que concluimos, que tanto estudiantes como docentes presentan un gran déficit en relación con el manejo integral del Conocimiento Didáctico del Contenido, ya que prima el tradicionalismo temático y se sigue mirando el ciclo educativo de forma vertical. Este tipo de estudio ha sido trabajado desde diferentes investigaciones como Briceño, García- Praga y Grossman que buscaron realizar una identificación de las características de aprendizajes que presentan los maestros en formación, sobre los saberes específicos de diferentes áreas en cuanto al uso dinámico del CDC.

Характеристика когнітивної сфери у пацієнтів із цукровим діабетом 2-го типу зрілого віку залежно від наявності депресивних станів
Authors: Zherdova N.M.
Published: April 2017

Актуальність. Пацієнти з цукровим діабетом (ЦД) страждають у 1,4–3 рази частіше від супутньої депресії, ніж особи без ЦД. За останніми даними, ЦД у світі перебуває на восьмій позиції як причина інвалідизації населення, у той час як депресивні розлади займають четверту позицію. Депресія порушує емоції, пізнання і поведінку, що призводить до відмови пацієнта проводити адекватне лікування з подальшою декомпенсацією захворювання. Мета дослідження: вивчити взаємозв’язок між станом когнітивної функції та наявністю депресивних розладів у пацієнтів із ЦД зрілого віку. Матеріали та методи. Обстежено 81 пацієнта з ЦД 2-го типу, із них 43 жінки та 38 чоловіків. Пацієнти були поділені на дві групи: з депресивними розладами та без них. Оцінка депресивних проявів проводилась за допомогою опитувальників, які пацієнт заповнював самостійно. Результати. За даними шкали CED-S, частота депресивних розладів становила 38,3 %. При дослідженні когнітивної функції відзначається вірогідне зниження виконання нейропсихологічних тестів, а саме тесту малювання годинника, батареї тестів на лобну дисфункцію (БЛД) у пацієнтів з депресивними розладами. При дослідженні взаємозв’язку різних чинників, таких як тривалість захворювання, індекс маси тіла, систолічний артеріальний тиск, діастолічний артеріальний тиск, рівень загального холестерину, тригліцеридів, вібраційної чутливості і тяжкості депресивних проявів не було знайдено вірогідної різниці. У той же час рівень глікованого гемоглобіну мав вірогідно значимий взаємозв’язок з депресією. Висновки. У пацієнтів з депресією відзначається вірогідне зниження когнітивних функцій за даними тесту БЛД, MMSE та тесту малювання годинника, що свідчить про ураження лобної частки головного мозку. Знайдено вірогідно значущий взаємозв’язок між рівнем глікованого гемоглобіну та тяжкістю депресії. Необхідно проводити скринінг депресивних розладів серед пацієнтів із ЦД для своєчасної допомоги та запобігання зниження когнітивних функцій та інвалідизації пацієнтів.

Passer de la connaissance à l’action pour résoudre des problèmes complexes : aperçu de l’examen de neuf cas internationaux
Authors: Riley BL , Robinson KL , Gamble J , Finegood DT , Sheppard D , Penney TL , Best A
Published: April 2017

Introduction

La résolution de problèmes complexes du type de la prévention des maladies chroniques présente des défis particuliers pour la création et le transfert de connaissances, soit le passage de la connaissance à l’action (PCA). Les approches axées sur le PCA respectant les principes de la pensée systémique sont jugées prometteuses, mais les stratégies pour les mettre en place ne sont pas bien comprises. Dans cet article, nous présentons les résultats d’une analyse de plusieurs approches systémiques axées sur le PCA dans le but de déterminer comment optimiser leur mise en oeuvre et leur efficacité.

Méthodologie

Un groupe consultatif de cinq personnes a choisi neuf initiatives représentant une diversité d’enjeux et de formes organisationnelles. Pour chaque cas, l’information a été recueillie à partir de documents et par l’entremise d’entrevues téléphoniques avec des personnes-ressources de chaque organisation. Après la vérification des descriptions de cas, une analyse inductive a été effectuée à la fois pour chaque cas et entre les cas.

Résultats

Ces cas ont révélé cinq lignes directrices permettant de passer de la conception de systèmes de PCA à leur mise en oeuvre : 1) établir et entretenir des relations, 2) coproduire et organiser les connaissances, 3) créer des boucles de rétroaction, 4) les encadrer comme des interventions systémiques plutôt que comme des projets et 5) envisager des variations dans le temps et selon les lieux.

Conclusion

Les résultats de cette analyse contextuelle constituent un départ modeste pour transformer en résultats concrets les concepts systémiques de PCA. L’utilisation des stratégies mises au jour pourrait améliorer le PCA pour la résolution de problèmes complexes en matière de santé publique. Les stratégies elles-mêmes pourront bénéficier de l’évolution d’une science visant à comprendre l’adaptation et l’apprentissage constant des politiques et des interventions pratiques, ce qui renforcera les relations durables et comblera les lacunes des systèmes, et pas simplement celles des données probantes. Les approches systémiques de PCA tireront également des bénéfices d’évaluations rigoureuses.

The social movement that strongly opposed the construction of cement plant in Sukolilo, Pati, Central Java constitutes a unique social movement. This movement, which is known as protest action, was conducted in a non violent way. One of the ways to embrace people in Sukolilo is by using communication strategy, called as ‘gethok tular’. This is a communication strategy based on local wisdom owned by Samin community. In its growth, gethok tular has formed communication pattern in Samin’s social movement. The communication pattern of gethok tular is in the form of informal communication. This paper was based on the result of constructivist research using ethnography of communication approach. Direct and in-depth interviews were employed to collect data.

The Netherlands Early Warning Committee (NEWC) aims to identify infectious diseases causing a potential threat to Dutch public health. Threats are assessed and published as (information) alerts for public health experts. To identify threats from abroad, the NEWC screens 10 sources reporting disease outbreaks each week. To identify the sources essential for complete and timely reporting, we retrospectively analysed 178 international alerts published between 31 January 2013 and 30 January 2014. In addition, we asked the four NEWC coordinators about the required time to scan the information sources. We documented the date and source in which the signal was detected. The ECDC Round Table (RT) Report and ProMED-mail were the most complete and timely sources, reporting 140 of 178 (79%) and 121 of 178 (68%) threats respectively. The combination of both sources reported 169 (95%) of all threats in a timely manner. Adding any of the other sources resulted in minor increases in the total threats found, but considerable additional time investment per additional threat. Only three potential relevant threats (2%) would have been missed by only using the ECDC RT Report and ProMed-mail. We concluded that using only the ECDC RT Report and ProMed-mail to identify threats from abroad maintains a sensitive Early Warning System.
Age Estimation of Live Arctic FoxesVulpes lagopusBased on Teeth Condition

Published: April 2017

Aging individuals is a prerequisite to many studies in wildlife biology. In mammals, the most accurate methods are based on cement lines analysis and require tooth extraction. Here, we adapted a method based on tooth wear assessment in live individuals and calibrated against cement lines counts on dead individuals. We developed and tested this less invasive method in arctic foxesVulpes lagopus.We photographed dentition of live individuals captured in 2006–2013 and of skulls collected opportunistically in 2003–2013. Five observers assessed twice the tooth wear of 245 sets of pictures (left, frontal, and right views of the dentition for 179 captures and 66 skulls, with a mean of 7.2 pictures per set) to obtain a teeth condition index (TCI) for each set. TCI was highly repeatable, with an intraclass correlation coefficient averaging 0.89 and 0.83 within and between observers, respectively. We then used 44 known‐aged individuals to predict fox age from TCI through linear regression (age = 0.62 × TCI + 1.04,r2= 0.64). We tested through jackknife validation the ability of this model to accurately age foxes. The rate of correct classification of exact age was 39%, while 80% and 100% of predicted ages were within one and two years of the true age, respectively. The model predicted correctly the age class (young, prime‐age adult, old) of individuals 75% of the time. We conclude that our proposed method, which is much less invasive than those based on tooth extraction, can allow progress in the study of demography of arctic foxes, and potentially other mammal species.
Effect of Conditions of Cryogenic Treatment on the Properties of Selected Cold Work Tool Steels*
Authors: Sobotová J. , Kuřík M. , Kolář Z. , Priknerová P.
Published: April 2017

The paper evaluates the properties of two cold work tool steels which differ in the production process and content of carbon and vanadium. Both steels are characterized by their great hardenability, toughness, dimensional stability and wear resistance. They are a subledeburitic steel X63CrMoV5-1 produced by classical metallurgy and a ledeburitic steel Vanadis 6 produced by powder metallurgy. Different austenitizing temperatures in the range of recommended values for the material were used during the heat treatment. Both materials were tempered at a temperature of 530 °C. Also cryogenic treatment at temperatures of −196 °C and −180 ° C for 5 h and/or 4 h was inserted into the conventional heat treatment cycle. The effect of the timing of cryogenic treatment in the heat treatment cycle was observed. Hardness measurement, a three-point bending test and a wear resistance test by the pin-on-disk method were used to specify the effect of the conditions of heat treatment on the properties of the investigated materials.
Counting Witches: Illuminating and Distorting the Shape of Witchcraft Accusations in Scotland
Authors: Macdonald Stuart
Published: April 2017

Scottish historians have invested considerable effort in gathering data on and counting the number of accused witches in Scotland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The benefits of the four projects dedicated to this data-gathering that are analysed in this article are clear, but the act of counting has also changed our perception of the Scottish witch-hunt. In order to count witches, we have to have a clear definition of who is (and is not) a witch. This article explores the change in definition across these projects, notably the distinction between a witch and a charmer. Graphing witchcraft accusations gives the impression that all accusations are related. Counting may make us overconfident in the quality of the data when what is striking is how little information we have in most instances. The methodological concern of using the information we do have and interpreting the entire witch-hunt on that basis is noted.
Research on the Blind Source Separation Method Based on Regenerated Phase-Shifted Sinusoid-Assisted EMD and Its Application in Diagnosing Rolling-Bearing Faults

Published: April 2017

To improve the performance of single-channel, multi-fault blind source separation (BSS), a novel method based on regenerated phase-shifted sinusoid-assisted empirical mode decomposition (RPSEMD) is proposed in this paper. The RPSEMD method is used to decompose the original single-channel vibration signal into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), with the obtained IMFs and original signal together forming a new observed signal for the dimensional lifting. Therefore, an undetermined problem is transformed into a positive definite problem. Compared with the existing EMD method and its improved version, the proposed RPSEMD method performs better in solving the mode mixing problem (MMP) by employing sinusoid-assisted technology. Meanwhile, it can also reduce the computational load and reconstruction errors. The number of source signals is estimated by adopting singular value decomposition (SVD) and Bayes information criterion (BIC). Simulation analysis has demonstrated the superiority of this method being applied in multi-fault BSS. Furthermore, its effectiveness in identifying the multi-fault features of rolling-bearing has been also verified based on a test rig.
