The Global Impact on Health of Dental Infections and Antibiotic Resistance:A mini Reveiw
Authors: Abusaiba Thualfakar Hayder Hasan
Published: December 2023

Dental abscesses are a common infectious process that medical professionals are aware of. The aggressiveness of the bacteria, host resistance mechanisms, and local anatomy all influence how the infection turns out. A dental abscess that spreads can have serious implications that result in a high rate of morbidity and death. Acute dental abscesses are composed of a variety of microorganisms, including facultative anaerobes like _Streptococcus anginosus_ group and _viridans_ group _streptococci_, as well as stringent anaerobes such anaerobic _cocci_, _Prevotella_, and _Fusobacterium_ species.

Antibiotics are commonly prescribed to treat dental infections. The benefits of antibiotics are that they can help resolve symptoms quickly, reduce pain, and prevent systemic infections. However, antibiotics can also have negative impacts on health, such as promoting antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance refers to the phenomenon where bacteria evolve to become immune to antibiotics, making them harder to treat. Bacteria can develop resistance through mutations or by acquiring resistance genes from other bacteria.

The overuse and misuse of antibiotics are one of the primary causes of antibiotic resistance. Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics for illnesses such as the common cold and flu has led to the development of antibiotic resistance. In addition, patients who do not finish a full course of antibiotics can also contribute to the evolution of resistant bacteria. This has resulted in health risks that are not just confined to treating dental infections, but also pose a significant threat to global health.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This review is based on a thorough analysis of freely accessible literature from reputable sources such as Google, Google Scholar, and PubMed. The terms used in this review include dental, oral, maxillofacial infection, resistance pattern, epidemiology, common microorganisms, nutrition components, biofilm formation, morbidity, mortality, and increased healthcare costs. Overall, this review highlights the significant impact of dental infections and resistance on global health, including increased morbidity and mortality rates and rising healthcare costs. By understanding the epidemiology and resistance patterns of common microorganisms, as well as the role of nutrition and biofilm formation in infection prevention, we can work towards developing effective strategies for managing and preventing dental infections.

In CONCLUSION, the epidemiology of dental infections is an important area of study that helps us understand the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors associated with these infections. By understanding these factors, we can develop effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve oral health and overall well-being.

Authors: ŞENER Ayşe
Published: December 2023

Modern Kırgız edebiyatı, 20. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde ortaya çıkmış ve büyük ölçüde Sovyet estetiğinin ekseninde gelişmiştir. Kırgızlarda yazılı edebiyatın ileri bir tarihte ortaya çıkmasıyla ilişkili olarak edebiyatın yenileşmesinde farklı hususiyetlerin devreye girmesi dikkat çekmektedir. Bu noktada çeviri faaliyetleri, yazarların farklı edebî anlayışları tanıma ve alımlamasına imkân sağlayan bir alan olarak edebî faaliyetlere rehberlik etmiştir. Bundan hareketle bu çalışmada Kırgız edebiyatının başlangıç yıllarında yapılan çeviriler, çevirileri yapan şahsiyetler, edebiyat ve çeviri ilişkisi bağlamında değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma edebiyatta çevirinin önemini öne çıkarmakla birlikte edebiyatın yenileşmesinde çevirinin etkinliğini Kırgız edebiyatı özelinde ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmada doküman ve betimsel analiz yöntemi ile söz konusu yıllar arasında yapılan çeviriler kütüphane katalogları ve çeşitli kaynaklar yoluyla taranmış ve irdelenmiştir. Neticede Kasım Tınıstanov, Kasımali Bayalinov, Sıdık Karaçev, Mukay Elebayev gibi Kırgız yazılı edebiyatının ilk kalemlerinin çeviri ile hemhâl olduğu ve modern Kırgız edebiyatının oluşum ve gelişim aşamasında çevirinin öneminin farkında hareket ettikleri görülmektedir. 1920’li yıllarda başlayan çeviri faaliyetlerinin edebî sürece parelel olarak 1930’lu yıllarda hız kazandığı, Batı edebiyatından özellikle Rus edebiyatından pek çok klasik eserin Kırgızcaya çevrildiği görülmektedir. 1930’lu yıllarda dünya edebiyatının bazı klasik eserlerinin de çevrilmeye başlanması sonraki yıllarda yapılacak ciddi çevirilere yol açması ile değerlidir.

The Effect of Metacognitive Reflective Tools on Historical Writing Ability and Self-Efficacy
Authors: Clevenger Christopher
Published: December 2023

Previous research has revealed that students typically struggle with analytical writing, particularly if it deviates from the commonly taught “writing structure” (Murphree, 2014). This struggle is frequently coupled with a lack of understanding of course content materials, or the often-ambiguous nature of analysis in writing, which students typically do not encounter in a structured, standards-based classroom. The pressure surrounding these writing struggles is seemingly amplified in a rigorous, high-performing dual-enrollment high school setting where students are required to demonstrate proficiency in analytical ability and argumentative writing prior to their 10th grade year. This study aims to develop a more comprehensive model to teaching analytical writing by implementing a combination of a skills-based approach and an approach that promotes self-efficacy and meta-cognitive reflection. This combination seeks to not only alleviate anxiety and lack of confidence in the writing process, but also equip students with tools that can increase the accuracy of self-assessment and overall writing scores. The effect of metacognitive tools on student analytical writing in this study is measured primarily through student performance on a series of AP World History-style Document Based Question (DBQ) essays and academic confidence self-evaluation surveys. Data consists of outcomes from one baseline DBQ (prior to supplemental instruction) and outcomes from two DBQ essays after direct instruction of three metacognitive tools and the introduction of a series of surveys designed to promote self-efficacy. Each measure was cross analyzed based on the introduction of a series of three metacognitive strategies to aid in writing DBQs (Pre-write Graphic Organizer, Formatting Guide, and Peer Evaluation Tool) and compared to the baseline scores collected after the pre-intervention DBQ Assessment. Preliminary results indicate that average student confidence, as measured by self-efficacy surveys prior to each DBQ writing assignment, rose over time, with content-based confidence and overall DBQ scoring confidence exhibiting the greatest change. Students initially demonstrated a period of “false confidence” during their baseline assessment, followed by a dip (lack of confidence) and rise (increasing confidence) correlating with increased accuracy in scoring as time progressed. Students’ ability to accurately predict their success on the DBQ rubric increased over time. However, the greatest improvement in this metacognitive skill can be observed in areas related to content knowledge.
Data analytics for finding emerging entrepreneur’s success factors

Professional business incubation refers to the process by which a person or institution helps a startup develop and grow. Before sponsoring or channelling funding for startups, incubators recognise the potential for growth and weigh the opportunity. Before deciding to support or fund a startup, it is necessary to conduct extensive research into available resources. With the help of industries, developing countries have made rapid progress toward the goals of macro-stability, inclusive and sustainable growth in recent years. Incubators, while a powerful tool for promoting new ventures, have some limitations. Customers can sometimes develop overly dependent tendencies, rendering them unable to adapt to real economic influences. At the same time, it has been noted that the majority of them work in isolation and with a limited spectrum, which prevents them from reaching potential people and results in a shortfall of the centre, facilities, and resources. At the same time, companies are quick to adapt and change due to dynamic changes in technology and market demand as the variable phases survive the growth trend.
Authentic leaders needed to enhance organisational commitment of teachers in Namibia
Authors: Pieters Wesley
Published: December 2023

The education sector in Namibia experiences challenges such as imbalanced learner-teacher ratios, poor working conditions, lack of resources and criticisms from the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture and parents because of high failure rates. Organisational commitment is the psychological link that employees have in wanting to remain with and exert significant efforts on behalf of an organisation. Relationships have been confirmed between authentic leadership (leaders who are genuine and stand up for their followers), perception of fairness and equity within the workplace, psychological conditions and organisational commitment. A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data on authentic leadership, organisational justice, psychological conditions and organisational commitment of teachers from the Omaheke, Oshana and Oshikoto regions in Namibia (n=288). The data were analysed using SPSS (24.0) with Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression analyses to assess the impact of these variables on organisational commitment of teachers. The significant predictors of organisational commitment were the openness and transparency of leaders; how they share information freely; their engagement in moral and ethical behaviour; and when teachers experience interactional justice and psychological meaning in their work. This study proposes leadership development to enhance transparency of leaders, development and implementation of policies ensuring just and fair interactions between superiors and subordinates as well as re-evaluation of remuneration and compensation packages to enhance the level of meaningfulness experienced by teachers.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

This study investigated Biology teachers’ perceptions of the importance of practical work in selected secondary schools in the Oshana Education Region (OER) in Namibia. This study was situated in both the qualitative and quantitative research paradigms. The population of this study consisted of all Biology teachers of Grade 11 and 12 students. Eight secondary schools in the OER were purposely selected to take part in the study. A sample comprising of 23 Biology teachers was

then chosen purposively from the eight secondary schools. A questionnaire and an observation schedule were used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the quantitative data while the qualitative data were categorised into themes. The findings showed that the 69.9% of the Biology teachers did not have a laboratory specifically for conducting Biology practical work and they carried out their practical work in a common laboratory used for both Physical

Science and Biology or in their classrooms. Two out of the nine observed teachers did not bother to carry out practical work at all and they taught Biology as a completely theoretical subject. The study recommends that Biology teachers should be encouraged to source materials necessary for conducting practical work from private schools in cases where their schools do not have the necessary resources for conducting practicals in Biology.
Towards a common Oshikwanyama official orthography for Namibia and Angola
Authors: Shikesho Edward T.
Published: December 2023

This paper emanates from a serious debate that took place at Okalongo, in Omusati Region, between the author of this salient paper, and some University of Namibia students, specialising in Oshikwanyama. This debate compelled the author of this study to explore further on the writing systems that prevail in Oshikwanyama. The disagreement was on the writing systems that are observed between Oshikwanyama used in Namibia and the Oshikwanyama used in Angola. Oshikwanyama, as a cross-border language, is one of the twelve dialects of Oshiwambo. Oshikwanyama’s writing system is adapted differently. In Namibia, it is written disjunctively, while in Angola, it is officially written conjunctively, especially when it comes to the treatment of verbs (Although, there was an attempt established in a meeting that was held in 2014 at a cultural festival in Ondjiva in Angola, headed by Pedro Tongeni, where it was agreed for the Angolans to adopt to the Oshikwanyama writing system used in Namibia. However, it is not yet officially approved by these two nations.) This is a qualitative study influenced by purposive sampling and content analysis. This study’s theoretical ideas are those of Cole (1975) who believes that Bantu languages should follow their writing system, instead of those of Indo-European languages. In this study’s literature review, a short overview of these two writing systems is provided by various scholars in the linguistic discipline, with special focus on Bantu languages (Prinsloo & De Schryver, 2002; Taljard & Bosch, 2006). Adapting to a common writing system and perhaps coming up with a common official orthography, preferably Orthography 4 of Oshikwanyama, where the two countries will be following in writing future materials, is of paramount importance, and it is what this study recommends.
Effective family involvement in ruManyo-speaking children’s home literacy learning
Authors: Mate Mukoya Angelika
Published: December 2023

This paper emphasizes that family should effectively involve in ruManyo-speaking children’s home literacy learning. The paper emerged from a case study that was conducted in rural and urban settings in the Kavango Educational Region of Namibia. The aim of this paper is to share some views, experiences and opinions regarding the role of family involvement in their children’s literacy learning. The study involved four families; one caregiver and their children from each family was selected; and two teachers one from each setting. Observations and semi-structured interviews were used as research instruments for data collection. Findings of the study show that families were not effectively involved in their children’s literacy learning-for a number of reasons; lack of literacy knowledge, lack of a print environment and literacy resources in and outside the school, the absence of literacy programmes in the community, lack of reading habits, encouragement and motivation. However, many of these problems were fuelled by the severe lack of reading materials written in ruManyo. From the study findings, it is clear that there is a need for empowering families to understand and develop knowledge and skills regarding their children’s literacy learning.
Learning and Teaching German for Beginners Online At UNAM During The Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Augart Julia
Published: December 2023

Covid-19 has affected learning and teaching worldwide and forced most learning institutions to shift almost instantly to remote or e-learning. Although e-learning and the use of technology to support and enhance learning has been promoted over the years, the pandemic challenged many, institutions, lecturers and students alike. Learning a foreign language through a language app has become extremely popular as it is easily accessible and flexible in regard to time, but speaking, interaction and motivation cause challenges. As the University of Namibia (UNAM) changed with the beginning of the pandemic to online teaching, the teaching and learning had to be changed in methods and activities and material had to be developed as online takes a different approach. For the German beginners’ class different tools have been employed such as recorded Panopto sessions, online exercises on Moodle, videoconferences on Zoom and WhatsApp communication to facilitate the course online, but also activities such as quizzes, video presentations were used to support students’ language learning and to enhance interaction. In conclusion, one can say that e-learning offers many advantages to develop a digital competence and to allow a more flexible learning. However, especially for the aspects of speaking and interaction – one of the main aspects of learning a language – the e-learning remains challenging and has an impact on the motivation and therefore learning of students, especially younger and less mature students.

Authors: Akpabio Eno , Irigo Charles , Mbise Sussane
Published: December 2023

There exist ambivalence in the literature and among scholars about employability and graduate attributes across theoretical and practical courses offered by higher educational institutions, hence this study set itself the task of tracking SJMC graduates to find out if the offerings at the University of Dar es Salaam have assisted them in terms of employability as well as finding out from selected employers about graduate attributes that the former bring to bear on the work environment. Using systematic sampling supplemented with snowball sampling based on the poor response rate of the former, the study found out that the graduates were largely satisfied even though they had a number of areas that they felt should be improved upon. Employers, on the other hand, even though they also had largely positive attitudes wanted more practical courses; a sentiment also expressed by the graduates. Graduates were also not satisfied with the level of currency of the offerings, hence the study calls for urgent curriculum review involving various stakeholders to better tailor course offerings to the demands of the marketplace.

The factors shaping brain evolution and cognition are broadly categorized as being either social or environmental. However, the relative importance of these factors is heavily debated, partly due to the limitations from the standard interspecific evolutionary comparative approach. Here, we adopt a complementary strategy leveraging the high degree of brain plasticity that evolved in fishes to ask how variation in social and environmental factors affect individual brain development. We investigated how overall brain size and brain part sizes varied between demes of the same population in the coral reef associated batu coris Coris batuensis. This wrasse species is ideal for our approach because its local population densities (a correlate of intraspecific social complexity) are dissociated from both densities of other species (reflecting interspecific complexity, including competitors and predators) and habitat complexity (represented by the three-dimensional structure of the coral reefs and adjacent areas). We found that individuals from demes with higher intraspecific population density possess larger overall brain volumes than those from lower population density environment, caused by an enlargement of all five main brain regions. Brain anatomical measures did not correlate with measures of interspecific or habitat complexity. Our results suggest that brain plasticity in the batu coris evolved to allow individuals to adapt specifically to variation in intraspecific social challenges. The results support a broader version of the social brain hypothesis, emphasizing the entire brain over specific regions like the neocortex in mammals or the telencephalon in fishes.

The Covid-19 pandemic means that learning is carried out online using zoom meetings and also directly in class. It can be seen that teachers only deliver material using the lecture method and the implementation of learning activities is still monotonous, namely repetitive between the teacher and students. Another problem is the lack of interest in asking students when the teacher gives them the opportunity to ask questions about material they don't understand, which has an impact on students' learning outcomes. VTA learning is learning (Video Tutorials and Animations) so this learning media has web-based learning which is designed using HTML and in this media uses Video learning, Tutorials accompanied by images and also Animation Videos so that learning is more interesting and easy for students to understand.

Based on data analysis carried out on student activities, it was obtained that student activity results increased in each cycle. In cycle I the score obtained was 67 with an average of 3.22 with a percentage of 55% in the Sufficient category and while in cycle II the student activity achievement score was 78 with an average of 3.66 and a percentage of 77%. This shows that using VTA media can make students more active in learning. It can be concluded that there is an increase in learning outcomes for Computer Systems using VTA media in class X TKJ 1 SMK Negeri 1 Kasongan.

This study aims to describe the process of socialization, introduction, and implementation of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). QRIS is an electronic payment system that allows non-cash transactions using QR codes, which has been introduced by Bank Indonesia to improve efficiency and financial inclusion in Indonesia. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach and descriptive research methods. Data was collected through interviews with MSME owners, as well as through direct observation of QRIS implementation in several places. Data analysis was carried out using an inductive approach, by identifying themes and patterns that emerged from the collected data. The results of this study indicate that QRIS socialization to MSMEs is an important step to increase understanding and acceptance of this payment technology. Socialization was carried out through various methods, including counseling, training, and technical guidance organized by the research team. The introduction of QRIS among MSMEs also involved payment service providers, who provided the necessary technical and infrastructure support.

Published: December 2023

Assessment of risk factors which may predict poor outcomes for patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in individuals with HIV is important for further evaluation of possibility their modification and through that the reduction mortality rate and improved patient outcomes. We aimed to investigate the risk factors for CAP in patients with HIV infection in term on their modification and through that reduction associated poor outcomes in such patients. We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving patients with diagnosed CAP who were admitted to the pulmonary and critical care medicine unit at medical university hospital, Baku city, Azerbaijan, between January of 2018 and December of 2022. One hundred ninety three adults (>18 years) patients with CAP were enrolled to the study. Pneumonia was diagnosed as CAP when it occurs before 48 h of hospital admission, 59 of 193 patients with CAP pneumonia was developed in individuals with HIV infection, and 16 of them the HIV infection was diagnosed accidently in our hospital. We have found five major and independent risk factors predicting in-hospital mortality in such patients: severe malnutrition; CD4 count <100 cells/mm3 ; radiographic progression of the disease with P/F<250; bacteremia; and severe sepsis/septic shock. In our study the presence of HIV infection in CAP patients is associated with an increased risk of ICU admission with an increased risk of inhospital mortality (2.5[0.94-5.6]; p<.02). We found a several risk factors in our sample, related to development of bacterial pneumonia in individuals with HIV infection. We found a high burden of comorbidities commonly related to chronic kidney failure and severe malnutrition as well as considerable high in-hospital mortality in such patients. We identified factors associated with an increased risk of ICU admission and fatal outcomes which could help identify patients who might benefit from anti-pneumococcal vaccination, adequate nutrition and antiretroviral therapy, as well as determine prognosis. Our findings should be validated by studies with larger samples of patients.
Surviving Maternal Incest
Authors: Franco Fabiana
Published: December 2023

Although paternal incest has been well documented and studied, there is very little research on maternal incest, and victims rarely seek help. New clinical evidence suggests that maternal incest occurs at a much higher rate than previously thought. Estimates indicate approximately 5% of sexually abused girls and 20% of sexually abused boys have been victimized by women perpetrators. Myths that discourage the acceptance of male victimization are compounded by the idea of mothers as caregivers and nurturers. The societal taboo surrounding maternal incest can be particularly damaging to victims, resulting in guilt and shame. The attitudes of mental health professionals in regard to myths about maternal incest can promote conditions that either encourage or discourage men or boys from opening up about this type of abuse. This article reviews the prevalence and dynamics of maternal incest, the shame felt by victims and its consequences, treatment approaches, and areas of future research needed.
