Authors: Jankowicz-Szymańska Agnieszka , Wódka Katarzyna , Kawa Justyna , Kwiek Bernadetta
Published: October 2022

Introduction: It is widely believed that the postural quality of adolescents is poor and this condition is blamed, at least in part, on a sedentary lifestyle and low self-awareness of body alignment and awareness of movement quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the postural habits and trunk alignment of high school adolescents against university students with high physical activity and high awareness of the importance of postural quality for health.Material and methods: 59 high school students and 82 university students, male and female, participated in the study. Three-dimensional trunk positioning in habitual standing was investigated using the Zebris Pointer ultrasound device. Awareness of habitual posture during various activities of daily living was assessed using a validated questionnaire. Results were analysed using Statistica v13.Results: High school students were characterised by a greater depth of thoracic kyphosis than university students. Female high school students tended to have shallower lumbar lordosis and male high school students tended to have deeper lordosis. High school students showed worse lateral trunk inclination and greater pelvic to shoulder rotation. The most important observation regarding postural awareness was related to sitting position. Women from both groups were more likely than men to admit to sitting with a bent and rotated trunk and crossed legs.Conclusions: It appears that higher physical activity and / or greater knowledge of university students contributes to more correct trunk positioning compared to the physically inactive high school students. Postural habits, however, are similar in both groups. Gender significantly differentiates both posture and posture-related habits.

Fruit is incredibly crucial to our daily lives. Globalization is causing a daily decline in food quality. The fruit is given various additives or preservatives to make it look appealing or fresh. The majority of fruit is now preserved using chemicals, which contaminates the fruit. The consumer wants healthy fruit as a result of the diseases caused by this contamination. For a healthy lifestyle, many prefer organic fruit. We therefore require such a technology that aids in determining the fruit's quality in order to avoid the issues related to the fruit without human interpretation. Such a tool is necessary in order to inform us about organic fruit. Consequently, to satisfy this customer demand we created a tool that determines whether fruit is of good or poor quality. The usage of several sensors in the fruit sector is illustrated in this paper. Fruit condition can be determined with the aid of sensors like the resistance temperature detector sensor and thermocouple. Effectively present in homes and small-scale fruit industries, this system.

Published: October 2022

This research was conducted with the intention of determining the specific qualities of internet reviews that contributed to their usefulness. The collected online movie reviews were found on the website Rotten Tomatoes, which is dedicated to film criticism. The methodology for conducting online reviews of impact factors that was developed as a result of this research makes use of data mining techniques. According to the findings of one study, users' perceptions of the efficacy of interventions are influenced by the quality of the articles. The effectiveness of a reviewer's contributions is increased when they are in a good mood, have a strong emotional predisposition, and a high degree of review reliability. On the other hand, negative emotions are both less beneficial and weaker than their positive counterparts. It has been demonstrated that emotionally charged evaluations receive a greater number of reviews and have a tendency to be more effective. The findings of this research, which investigated the manner in which individuals evaluate online reviews, could assist in the development of novel methods that are capable of predicting the level of economic success.
Dowry System: An Impediment to Women Empowerment
Authors: Jamatia Purna Laxmi
Published: October 2022

The term "dowry" is used to describe the gifts given to the groom by the bride's family at the time of the wedding. These gifts can take the form of property, money, ornaments, or other forms of wealth. Dowry is a problem in Indian marriage as well as a cultural tradition. It's become a business transaction in which the bride's financial status is more important than her individual qualities. Principle 4 of the Cairo Manifesto from 1994 states, "the advancement of gender equality and equity, the empowerment of women, the elimination of all kinds of violence against women, and the promotion of women's control over their own fertility are the corner stones of human development." A woman's and a girl's right to an education and a safe and healthy life is fundamental to the protection of all human rights. Stopping all forms of discrimination on the basis of gender and ensuring that women have full and equal access to all aspects of society, from the household to the boardroom, are two of the world's most important issues.

In recent years, combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) systems have attracted increasing attention worldwide. Owing to their advantages of high overall thermal efficiency, fuel flexibility, low noise and vibration, and low emissions, Stirling engines are promising candidates for micro-CCHP systems. The Stirling Cycle is one of the thermodynamic cycles that is close to the Carnot cycle in terms of theory, and these advantages cause to use of Stirling engines in wide industries. The main objective of this research is an experimental investigation of the Stirling Gamma engine for refrigeration. In this investigation, the effect of working fluid air and Helium, the operating pressure of the working fluid, and dynamo power on refrigeration generation have been investigated. Results show that using air fluid with a power of 520.8 Watts and operating pressure of 3 bar in 10 minutes could reach to the temperature of -23° Celsius and using Helium fluid with a power of 420 Watts and operating pressure of 6 bar and in 10 minutes could reach to temperature -21° Celsius. In the experimental implementation, it has been tried to reach lower than 10 % error results in various parts of the engine like insulation, leaking, belt lash, and measurement devices. Results show that increasing power supply, mean gas pressure, power supply turning on duration, and using fluids such as air and helium are effective in refrigeration. Also, by using helium instead of air, the amount of cooling output and engine output power decreases while engine efficiency increases.

Obiekty tymczasowe wzniesione podczas wydarzeń okolicznościowych w wybranych miastach Opolszczyzny – studium przypadku
Authors: Wilk Kamila
Published: October 2022

W artykule opisano przebieg wznoszenia obiektów tymczasowych powstałych podczas obchodów Światowego Dnia Architektury odbywającego się w Opolu i Nysie od 2016 r. Zaprezentowano również genezę wydarzenia oraz wpływ struktur przestrzennych na odbiorcę wydarzenia architektonicznego. Z obserwacji powstałych podczas wydarzeń architektonicznych wynika, że konstrukcje tymczasowe pozytywnie wpłynęły zarówno na odbiorcę, jak i studentów zaangażowanych w proces projektowania oraz montażu. Obiekty tymczasowe często wzbogacają te wydarzenia, pozostając przez długi czas w przestrzeni miejskiej, wchodzą z nim w dialog, a następnie znikają, aby dać miejsce następcom, którzy pojawią się podczas kolejnych edycji. Autorka zauważa, że działania te, choć nie ujawniają natychmiastowego efektu w postaci podnoszenia świadomości znaczenia przestrzeni miejskiej, przynoszą długofalowy efekt związany z większą chęcią partycypacji studentów w zajęciach pozaszkolnych, rozwijając tym samym chęć uczestniczenia w życiu środowiska architektonicznego. Dodatkowym atutem takich działań jest pogłębianie umiejętności pracy zespołowej oraz pod presją czasu. Wspólne spędzanie czasu podczas realizacji tymczasowych obiektów tworzy więzi, które często owocują ciekawymi efektami w postaci interdyscyplinarnych zespołów podejmujących wspólne wyzwania projektowe, tj. realizacje konkursów architektonicznych.

Devido à crescente preocupação com as mudanças climáticas, fonte renováveis e intermitentes como a fotovoltaica e a eólica encontram-se em plena ascensão. Consumidores residenciais, comerciais e industriais investem cada vez mais na geração distribuída. Ao mesmo tempo em que a geração distribuída se torna uma parte significante no fluxo de potência das redes em média e baixa tensão, muitas dificuldades técnicas podem surgir, entre as quais a mais conhecida é a elevação dos níveis de tensão. A literatura sobre os impactos da geração distribuída fotovoltaica ainda tenta descobrir, e quantificar, todos os fatores e condições que poderiam causar elevações de tensão. Neste contexto, este artigo apresenta um estudo de caso em que múltiplos níveis de potência instalada de geração distribuída fotovoltaica são simulados em um sistema de distribuição real, o qual foi modelado a partir de dados real providos pela concessionária local. Este estudo considerou curvas de irradiação solar médias por estação climática, bem como três curvas de carga distintas caracterizadas como leve, intermediária e pesada. Sobretudo, este estudo deixa claro que tanto o índice de penetração da geração distribuída quanto a curva de irradiação solar podem afetar diretamente os níveis de tensão no ponto de acoplamento. Portanto, a maior contribuição deste trabalho é prover evidências para o estudo de sobretensões.
Nitrogen remobilization and its importance in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of crops
Authors: PADHAN BIRENDRA KUMAR , SATHEE LEKSHMY , JAIN VANITA
Published: October 2022

Nitrogen (N) remobilization during grain filling from pre-anthesis N uptake and stored in different tissues of crop N use efficiency (NUE). N is remobilized from to sink (young leaves or grains) with the help of nitrate/amino acid transporters. Nearly 80% of grain N in cereals is derived from N remobilized from vegetative tissues. Remobilization of N within the plant takes place from older leaves to young leaves, leaves to grains, senescing organs to grains, from storage parts to grains. Enzymes involved in N remobilization include glutamine synthetase (GS), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), asparagine synthetase (AS) and proteases. Among them, cytosolic GS plays a key role during N remobilization in cereals. There are various senescence-associated genes (SAG) involved in N remobilization from older degrading leaves to younger leaves and grains. Autophagy (ATG) is an important mechanism involved in the degradation of stored N in the form of various proteins to amino acids, which are transported to long-distance in the form of glutamine and asparagine via phloem tissue. There is a complex network of genes, mechanisms, and factors associated with N remobilization, which needs to be considered for improving NUE of crops.
Cover crop technology – a way towards conservation agriculture: A review
Authors: SINGHAL VIBHA , GHOSH JYOTIRMOY , JINGER DINESH
Published: October 2022

There is transformation of agriculture from traditional to contemporary to fulfill the growing demand of food grains by mushrooming human population in the past few decades. Contemporary agriculture is completely dependent on external inputs of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Though it increased agricultural yield by many folds, but contributed to environmental degradation significantly including greenhouse forcing. The relevance of conservation agriculture emerged in response to the questions raised on health, environment and sustainability issues. Interest in conservation agriculture revived the traditional practices of cover cropping for soil conservation in the recent past. It is a form of reduced tillage improving soil physico-chemical and biological properties, claiming protection against insect-pests besides suppressing weeds effectively. In the present scenario, the role of cover crops extended to soil carbon sequestration thus combating global warming. Mean annual carbon sequestration potential of cover crop was found to be 0.32 ± 0.08 Mg ha−1 yr−1 to an average maximum increase of 16.7 Mg ha−1. Cover crops control weeds through competition, allelopathy, and/or physical effects due to surface residue, thereby interfering with growth, development and reproduction of weed. Cover crops suppress diseases by extending the length of a crop rotation, improving soil structure, providing a physical barrier and enhancing suppressive effects of soil life therefore disrupting disease cycle phases. Species in the brassicaceae family, such as mustards have been widely known fumigants as they suppress fungal diseases. Despite so many advantages, the issue of competitiveness between cover crop and main crop for resources cannot be ignored and bypassed. Strategic planning, management and manipulation of cover crops system are essential and decisive to reduce competition with the main crop for resources. Though cover crop systems have been in use for centuries, yet environmental concerns raised due to revolutionary inorganic agriculture have paved the way for more exploration and refinement in their use.

The experiment was conducted at Research Farm of Agronomy, CCS HAU, Hisar during rabi season of the year 2017-18 and 2018-19 to study the influence of seed rate and fertilizer levels on agro-physiological parameters and yield of dual purpose wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Four treatments, viz. C 306 without cut (M1), C 306 with cut at 60 DAS (M2), WH 1105 without cut (M3), WH 1105 with cut at 60 DAS (M4) in main plot and six seed rate and fertilizer combinations, viz: 100 kg/ha seed rate + 100% RDF (S1), 100 kg/ha seed rate + 115% RDF (S2), 100 kg/ha seed rate + 130% RDF (S3), 125 kg/ha seed rate + 100% RDF (S4), 125 kg/ha seed rate + 115% RDF (S5), 125 kg/ha seed rate + 130% RDF (S6) in subplot with three replications were laid out in split plot design. Results of this study indicate that wheat plant population was not influenced by different cultivars and different dose of fertilizers, but it was significantly affected by seed rate and fertilizer levels. Plant population was significantly higher (55.11/m.r.l.) in wheat sown at 125 kg/ha seed rate with 130% RDF over wheat sown at 100 kg/ha seed rate with either dose of fertilizer during both the years. Significantly higher dry matter accumulation (400.76 g/m.r.l. at harvest), LAI and total tillers were recorded in WH 1105 under without cut management, whereas, significantly taller plants (138.37 cm at harvest) was recorded in C 306 under without cut management. While comparing the seed rate and fertilizer combination treatments, significantly higher dry matter accumulation (308.38 g/m.r.l. at harvest), plant height (114.47 cm at harvest), LAI and total tillers were recorded in wheat sown at 125 kg/ha seed rate with 130% RDF. Significantly higher grain yield (6203 kg/ha) was recorded in WH 1105 under without cut management sown at 125 kg/ha seed rate with 130% RDF over C 306 under either cut management sown at either seed rate with either fertilizer levels during both years, which was statistically at par with WH 1105 sown at 125 kg/ha seed rate with 115% RDF and WH 1105 sown at 100 kg/ha seed rate with 130% RDF.

Published: October 2022

Celtis australis is one of important multipurpose tree species of north western Himalayas. The natural regeneration of the tree is very poor owing to huge biotic pressure. The tree therefore needs to be propagated by vegetative means. An experiment was conducted to ascertain the effect of season and IBA concentrations on rooting behaviour of Celtis australis. Cuttings collected in three different seasons, viz. spring, summer and rainy were subjected to different lndole- 3-Butyric Acid (IBA) treatments, viz. 250, 500, 750, 1000ppm and control. Maximum rooting (30.6%) was observed in rainy season. Rooting was higher (49.4%) in 250 ppm IBA concentration. Interaction effect of season × treatment revealed that maximum rooting (59.3%) was recorded during rainy season when cuttings were treated with 250 ppm IBA. The results of the study are useful for mass multiplication and cloning the species for enhancing productivity.

The path-coefficient analysis provides information about direct and indirect effect of other morphological characteristics on flower yield per plant, hence this investigation was undertaken to study the effects of various quantitative traits among marigold (Tagetes sp.) genotypes. The genetic variability and heritability in 21 genotypes of marigold confirmed that there is a colossal difference between the genotypes for yield and other 17 traits. The number of ray florets/ flower showed high heritability (99.95) together with high genetic advance (255.77) followed by fresh weight of flower and yield per plant. The study revealed that the PCV is more in comparison with GCV for all the traits which indicates, the contribution of the environment in the expression of traits. Correlation analysis between yield and yield attributing traits in marigold genotypes revealed high positive correlation of flower yield per plant at both phenotypic and genotypic levels with traits like plant height, plant spread, number of primary branches per plant, stem diameter, number of leaves per plant, fresh weight of flower, flower diameter, number of ray florets per flower and flowering duration. Path analysis revealed that the characters like fresh weight of flower and number of flowers per plant are important characters affecting flower yield since they had high direct positive effect. The magnitude of genetic divergence of marigold collected from four different states of India showed the presence of wide genetic diversity. Characters of maximum association with yield have been identified and a selection programme based on the above traits shall be highly effective in improving flower yield of marigold.

The present investigation was carried out with wheat in rabi season of 2015-16 at Nawabganj Research Farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India to study the effect of balanced use of nutrients on yield, yield attributing characters, uptake of nutrients and quality of wheat grain. A field experiment was conducted with 10 different treatment combinations comprising of different levels of N, P, K, S and Zn. Results revealed that the combined application of S@40 kg/ ha and Zn@5kg/ ha along with 125% NPK (T9) proved to be the best nutrient management option for getting higher yield with better grain protein content and quality. Combined use of S and Zn along with 125% NPK produced highest biological yield (130.63 q/ha) which was 66% higher than 100% NPK treatment. Significant increase in yield attributing characters and nutrient uptake (N, P, K, S and Zn) was also observed under T9 treatment. As far as nutritional quality of wheat grain is concerned, about 22% higher protein content was found in wheat grain with T9 treatment over control.

In this study, the effects of integrated farming system on residue recycling and soil quality in rice-based integrated farming systems have been examined. The effective nutrient budget for nitrogen was found higher with rice-fishpoultry- cowpea and the negative values were obtained for rice-chili and rice-baby corn systems. However, the effective budgets for phosphorus and potassium were negative in all these cropping systems. The results indicated that, about ten tonnes of organic matter was recycled, and the major share was from the dairy unit (~52%) in the form of dung and cow urine. Total internal nutrient supply due to recycling was estimated at 55 kg of nitrogen, 17 kg phosphorus and 76 kg of potassium, which is equivalent to 118 kg urea, 106 kg single super phosphate and 126 kg muriate of potash, thus reduction in cost of inputs. In the rice+fish+poultry-cowpea system, the indices of soil quality showed higher values, which indicated the improvement in soil fertility due to availability of poultry manure, plankton production, and the continuous fish activity. The current study confirmed that available N, DHA, Zn, B and Fe as the key indicators of soil quality under humid tropics of west coast India, which greatly influence the soil functions and soil productivity. The study conclusively reveals that integration of dairy, fishery, poultry components with diversified cropping systems in coastal lowland ecosystem is essential to improve the nutrient use efficiency and for enrichment of soil fertility.

To assess the influence of conservation agriculture (CA) practices on productivity and sustainability of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) - based cropping systems, the present field experiment was conducted for five consecutive years (2011-12 to 2015-16) at Junagadh, Gujarat, India. The experiment, comprising 14 treatments, viz. sole peanut, peanut-Sesbania, peanut-green gram (GG), peanut-conventional tilled wheat (CTW), peanut-CTW-Sesbania, peanut- CTW-GG, peanut-CTW-wheat straw incorporation (WSI), peanut-zero tilled wheat (ZTW), peanut-ZTW-Sesbania, peanut-ZTW-GG, peanut-ZTW-WSI, peanut+pigeonpea, peanut+pigeonpea-Sesbania and peanut+pigeonpea-GG was laid out in randomized block design with three replications at fixed site. Peanut -CTW-Sesbania cropping system (2.94 t/ha) recorded maximum pod yield of peanut while haulm yield was higher under peanut-ZTW-Sesbania (3.24 t/ha). Green manuring with Sesbania in peanut-ZTW and peanut+pigeonpea recorded higher grain yield of wheat (2.91 t/ha) and sud yield of pigeonpea (1.93 t/ha), respectively. System productivity (4.55 t/ha) was significantly higher under peanut-ZTW-Sesbania cropping system over sole peanut (with or without GM), peanut-CTW/ZTW, peanut- ZTW-WSI and peanut+pigeonpea (with or without GM). Peanut-ZTW-Sesbania also recorded maximum sustainable yield index (0.46) and sustainable value index (0.48) than other cropping systems.

Sustainability via Adaptability: Learning from the Traditional Thai House’s Built-for-Change Architecture
Authors: Ramasoot Saithiwa
Published: October 2022

Adaptive reuse plays an important role in safeguarding the traditional Thai house, or Ruen Thai, byappropriately converting the time-honored architectural fabrics to efficiently fulfill new requirements and ensuretheir practicality and compatibility with today’s context. This paper studies converted traditional Thai houses,and addresses embedded adaptive qualities that facilitate physical and functional modifications. The qualitiesnot only contribute to the conservation of Ruen Thai, but their potential applications in contemporary designscan also encourage environmentally sustainability. Revealed through structures undergone adaptive reuseprocedure, the adaptability is articulated via five key attributes: the prefabricated structure that allows dismantling,relocation and reassembly of components; the modularity and neutrality of house units that retain the compoundintegrity; the interconnectivity of the central terrace that accommodates an addition of house units; the use ofa single room for a single function that provides flexibility of conversions; and, the potential unoccupied areason the ground floor, the veranda and the terrace that can be enclosed for additional functional spaces. Thebuilt-for-change qualities enhance the architecture’s performance and prolonging its operational lifetime, whileacknowledging creative changes. At the same time, the adaptability allows a reuse of existing resources and areduction of extra consumptions and investments needed for new constructions.

Published: October 2022

A novel analysis approach to support real estate developers in making decision to deal with potentialrisks in each project development stage is introduced in this paper. The analysis model applied in this researchis a multi-criteria approach, based on Analytic Network Process (ANP) theory. Risk assessment criteria toaccomplish the ANP calculation are defined based on both literature review and related experience, againstSocial, Technological, Economic, Environmental and Political (STEEP) requirements of the real estate developmentin order to assess the risks in this business effectively. A case study of a residential and commercialmixed-use project in Liverpool City Centre was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ANP model. Theresult of an initial case study revealed that ANP is an effective tool to support developers in making decisionbased on risks assessment. It was found through this study that the established ANP model is effective and canbe adopted by real estate developers to suit for the business needs.
Typology of Kurdistani Style Mosques in Iran
Authors: Ebrahim Zarei Mohammad
Published: October 2022

Kurdistan province has been an important part of pre-Islamic Iran territory; after Islam, it changed toJabal and Kurdistan. This region was the major part of the Ardalan state in the Safavid and Qajar periodswhich in newly formed political divisions are divided among several provinces including Kermanshah, Hamadan,and western Azerbaijan. Based on specific characteristics of the region a distinctive type of mosque hasbeen established including wooden colonnaded iwan, lateral corridors, theologian’s room, yard, and entrance.These mosques are consisted of flat ceiling and colonnaded iwan / porticos which are deeply influenced bythe northwestern and western regions’ architectural / building style; one of these stylistic characteristics is theplan with iwans on four corners of Shabestan. Some of these mosques are mono-iwan and some bi-iwan butall in a rather different style from the other mosques of Iran. Iwans in these mosques are built in two floorsor built with wooden columns, which endorse a distinctive type which are called Kurdistani mosques in thisarticle.

Published: October 2022

Thermal infrared remote sensing has been used over urban areas to assess urban heat islands (UHI), toperform land cover classifications and as input for models of urban surface atmosphere exchange. In this study,we review the use of thermal remote sensing in the study of urban climates, focusing primarily on the urbanheat island effect and an integrated remote sensing-based approach to investigate the influences of urbanizationon urban thermals and environment in Bangkok metropolitan area (BMA), Thailand. Three Landsat TM images,acquired in 1994, 2000 and 2009, were selected to retrieve the surface urban heat island (SUHI). Our analysisshowed that higher temperatures in the SUHI were located with a scattered urban pattern, which was relatedto certain land-cover types. It was found that average surface temperature (Mean ± S.D.) in the BMA was about26.01 ± 5.89°C degrees in 1994, but this difference jumped to 37.76 ± 2.84°C in 2000 and further to 39.79 ±2.91°C in 2009, respectively. This could lead to an intensified urban heat island effect in the urban areas. Theresults of this study can provide methods and basic information for the reduction of urban temperature and theestablishment of environmentally friendly urban planning. Overall, remote sensing technology was an effectiveapproach for monitoring and analyzing urban growth patterns and evaluating their impacts on urban climates.

The Act-Belong-Commit ‘ABCs of Mental Health’ campaign for mental health promotion

A simple research-based model for mental health promotion in practice could improve mental health and wellbeing in the whole population. With mental health declining in most Western countries, there is a need for population-wide strategies to promote and protect mental wellbeing. Whilst both universal mental health promotion and targeted prevention approaches have the potential to prevent deteriorating mental health, universal approaches may reach and impact larger segments of a population. However, universal mental health promotion strategies are scarce and not widely implemented.

Is CB₂R a hidden treasure trove for treating inflammatory diseases?

Expert scientists, Mauro Maccarrone and Uwe Grether, explain how CB₂R can be used to treat inflammatory diseases. Looking at GPCRs, G-protein-coupled receptors, they discuss their important role in multiple physio-pathological conditions throughout the body, including treating inflammatory diseases. Receptors are important protein structures that allow cells to interact with their environment or control activities within a cell. Within these GPCRs, Grether and Maccarrone analyse the role of type-2 cannabinoid receptors (CB₂R), which represent a promising target for developing novel therapeutics to treat a plethora of diseases linked to its deregulation, as CB₂R and the closely related type-1 cannabinoid receptor (CB₁R) are essential elements of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Overall, the ECS plays a fundamental role for human health and disease state, as increased local eCB levels and CB₂R expression upon inflammation/tissue injury trigger fast signaling responses in immune and other cells leading mostly to a sequence of activities of a protective nature. This allows eCBs and/or synthetic CB₂R activators to attenuate inflammation and associated tissue injury in a huge number of pathological conditions/ diseases, ranging from cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, liver, kidney, lung, neurodegenerative/neuroinflammatory, skin pathologies, rheumatoid arthritis, endometriosis, to eye diseases.

Objectives. Superficial benign parotid tumors are a common neoplasm of the salivary glands. Different surgical procedures have been applied for partial superficial parotidectomy (PSP) and extracapsular dissection (ECD), which are the two predominant surgical techniques. Our study aimed to evaluate PSP versus ECD for benign parotid tumors, in relation to post-operative complications and recurrence rates.Materials and Methods. 266 patients who underwent parotidectomies of benign superficial parotid tumors were evaluated retrospectively. The first group (PSP group) was composed of 143 patients who underwent PSP, and the second group (ECD group) was composed of 123 patients who underwent ECD.Results. In the ECD group the rate of patients presenting with total postoperative permanent facial nerve paralysis, House-Brackmann grade III, was 0.8%, whereas in the PSP group it was 1.4%. Frey’s syndrome was only reported in the PSP group. Salivary fistula occurred in both groups at similar rates. Sensation dysfunction due to greater auricular nerve division occurred in 72% patients in the PSP group and 10.6% in the ECD group. No statistical difference regarding recurrence rates was found between the two groups. Conclusions. Both ECD and PSP procedures are safe surgical options for superficial parotidectomy in the treatment of benign tumors, with similar recurrence rates and post-surgical complications, apart from sensation abnormalities due to more extensive auricular nerve division.
