Ethnic Diversity and Democratic Governance in Nigeria: A Consociational Perspective
Authors: B.K. Samuel , M.H. Deinibiteim
Published: June 2023

This study explored the relationship between ethnic diversity/plurality and democratic governance in Nigeria. Nigeria has over 300 different ethnic groups, with diverse beliefs, customs, traditions and norms. These diversities have threatened the unity of the country and the system of governance. Political rivalry among the different ethnic groups substantially hampers the institutionalization of democratic governance in the country. Efforts at accommodating the ethnic groups in governance processes by successive administrations have not yielded significant results, hence threat of secession by some ethnic groups. The result of these threats in the country is the lack of harmony and/or cohesion in the polity, particularly in the areas of national identity and unity of purpose. Therefore, the main objective of the paper is to demonstrate that ethnic plurality does not necessarily negate democratic governance in a society. The study adopted the Consociational Democratic Theory to analyze the imperative for national unity cohesion, peace and harmony among the different ethnic nationalities under a democratic system of governance. The study used mainly secondary data, related to ethnic diversity/plurality, democratic governance and the politics of accommodation for harmonious national development. The study revealed that tension in the polity is attributable to the different ethnic groups struggle to capture and/or maintain state power for the benefit of mainly people from the leader’s ethnic group and/or region. This has increasingly made people of the different ethnic extractions clamour for “one of their own” to occupy the seat of power at federal, state and/or local government levels. The paper concluded that for Nigeria to make progress and achieve oneness of purpose under a democratic administration, there must be sincere accommodation of all ethnic groups in the governance process. The paper recommended, among other things, that leaders should live above ethnic biases in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities; there is a need to create sustainable national consciousness and identity among Nigerians in order to reduce ethnic rivalry in the country to the barest minimum.

Authors: Y. Audu , B.T. Sam , Y.O. Ibrahim
Published: June 2023

Most studies on brand image and corporate entities, especially in Nigeria, seem to focus on the effect of brand image on corporate performance with little consideration for the factors that determine or shape such images ab-initio. This study therefore seeks to identify some of the factors or brand characteristics that customers consider in making their brand image preference and determine how important each of these factors is in brand image formation in the Nigerian food and beverages products industry. Based on responses from 348 customers; data were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) with confirmatory Factor Analysis; (CFA) specifically. Results show that ten factors determine customers’ brand image of food and beverages products in Nigeria. Results also show that three of these ten factors; (i) awareness or popularity of the brand name itself, (ii) availability (convenience) and (iii) social image, (prestige) account for about 85% of brand image formation in the food and beverages products industry in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that marketers should endeavor to improve, especially on these three aspects of their brands; to enhance their brand images and improve their corporate performances.
A Short Review on Recent Approches in Targeted Drug Dilvairy System (TDDS)
Authors: D. Chaudhari Dhananjay , D. Mali Satish , Chaudhari Vaishnavi
Published: June 2023

Targeted drug delivery is an advanced method of delivering drugs to patients in such a targeted order that increases the concentration of the delivered drug only on the body part of interest (organs/tissues/cells), which in turn improves the effectiveness of the treatment while reducing side effects of drug administration. Basically, drug targeting should help the drug molecule to preferentially reach the desired site. The inherent advantage of this technique results in the administration of the required drug with its reduced dose and reduced side effect. This inherent advantage of a targeted drug delivery system is also strongly recognized by research and development in the clinical and pharmaceutical fields as the backbone of therapeutics and diagnostics. Various drug carriers that can be used in this advanced delivery system are soluble polymers, biodegradable microsphere polymers (synthetic and natural), neutrophils, fibroblasts, artificial cells, lipoproteins, liposomes, micelles, and immune micelles. The goal of a targeted drug delivery system is to prolong, localize, target, and have a protected drug interaction with the diseased.
A Review on Human Monkeypox Virus
Authors: Khankari R. V. , Umale S. M. , Patil A. S. , Thanekar T. R.
Published: June 2023

The human monkeypox is an emerging zoonotic orthopoxvirus with a clinical presentation similar to that of smallpox. It is difficult to differentiate monkeypox from other orthopedic infections, and laboratory diagnosis is the primary component of disease identification and monitoring. However, current diagnostics are time-consuming, and new tests are needed for rapid and precise diagnosis. Most cases have been reported in Central Africa; however, an increasing number of cases have been reported in Europe, the United States of America (USA), Australia, and the United Arab Emirates. Although investigation of the current global outbreak is still ongoing, viral transmission seems to have occurred during crowded events in Spain and Belgium. New therapeutics and vaccines are being deployed for the treatment and prevention of monkeypox, and more research on the epidemiology, biology, and ecology of the virus in endemic areas is required to understand and prevent further global outbreaks.
Cervical Cancer in Young Females: A Short Communication
Authors: Sharma Priyanka
Published: June 2023

The lower portion of the uterus that links to the vagina, or the cervix, is where the cells of the cervical cancer develop [1]. The fourth most frequent type of cancer and the fourth most common reason for cancer-related death in women globally is cervical cancer [2]. While cervical cancer can affect women of any age, it is typically detected in younger females between the ages of 30 and 49 [3]. Due to anti-Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines and population-based cervical cancer screening programmes, the incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer have decreased during the past few decades. Epidemiological research, however, indicates a rise in the prevalence of cervical cancer among young women [2].

A construção de categorias analíticas na pesquisa sobre perfil conceitual de formação contínua de professores
Authors: Teilor Bruno Augusto , Zimer Tania Teresinha Bruns
Published: June 2023

O crescente interesse nas últimas décadas no conceito de Formação Continuada de Professores (FCP) faz despontar nas produções acadêmicas uma heterogeneidade nos modos de pensar este conceito e uma emergente necessidade de sumarização. Este artigo objetiva abordar e discutir parte do percurso metodológico adotado na dissertação de Autor (2019), focando na constituição das categorias analíticas utilizadas para entender esses diferentes modos de pensar a FCP, modelando a polissemia do conceito. Por fundamentar-se na Teoria do Perfil Conceitual (MORTIMER e EL-HANI, 2014), as especificidades deste processo tornam a exposição e discussão um passo substancial para melhor identificar compromissos epistemológicos e ontológicos que delimitem as zonas do conceito de FCP, ou seja, por um olhar retrospectivo e analítico para a pesquisa, se tece apontamentos que possam contribuir para a construção deste modelo. Neste trabalho foi possível constatar a viabilidade das categorias epistemológicas Formação, Continuidade, Mudança e Aprendizagem, pois propiciam o diálogo dos domínios genéticos de investigação, identificando compromissos para diferentes composições destas categorias, ao mesmo tempo que suas limitações indicam a necessidade de reiteração do método para refinamento do modelo.
Trabalho e Projeto de Vida no Novo Ensino Médio em Mato Grosso do Sul
Authors: Hilário Wesley Fernando de Andrade , Ziliani Rosemeire de Lourdes Monteiro
Published: June 2023

Neste texto, problematiza-se as relações enunciativas entre trabalho e Projeto de Vida, inscrita no programa do Novo Ensino Médio (Lei nº 13.415/2017), com foco em sua expressão em Mato Grosso do Sul. Argumenta-se que tal discursividade estrutura a regulação de sujeitos que, no contexto de avanço do neoliberalismo no país, são objetivados em termos econômicos, portanto, quando postos a refletirem sobre sua vida individual e coletiva, o trabalho é dotado como elemento central. Utiliza-se como fonte o livro didático distribuído à Rede Estadual de Ensino para uso na disciplina Projeto de Vida, sendo analisado a partir dos princípios da análise discursiva de Michel Foucault. Conclui-se que em Mato Grosso do Sul, frente às práticas curriculares instauradas no e pelo Novo Ensino Médio, os jovens têm sido interpelados por uma moral fundada no trabalho, deixando-se um espaço ínfimo para uma reflexão ética que fuja a esse aspecto. Ao final, interroga-se: haverá lugar para uma escolarização que leve os jovens a elaborarem seus projetos de vida para além do trabalho?
Motivação e Metacognição:
Authors: Veiga Luciana Lima de Albuquerque da , Assis Marcia Regina de
Published: June 2023

O acesso ao Ensino Superior ainda é um desafio para muitos estudantes que concluem o Ensino Médio, mas para a grande maioria que consegue ingressar em uma universidade, o desafio está apenas começando, pois, a abordagem nesse nível de ensino pressupõe que os alunos estão aptos a desenvolver seus estudos de forma mais autônoma, crítica e criativa. Mas infelizmente isso não é uma realidade brasileira. Estudos têm demonstrado que a falta de conhecimento em relação aos seus próprios processos de aprendizagem, assim como a melhor forma de realizar os seus estudos têm levado alunos a baixos desempenhos e desmotivações durante sua vida acadêmica. Por isso, esse artigo discute as potencialidades de ensinar os estudantes a “aprender a aprender” por meio da metacognição. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que utilizou a sala de aula de uma disciplina do tipo “aprenda a aprender” para coleta de dados. Os resultados indicaram a que aos serem estimulados os alunos desenvolvem os processos reflexivos, sobretudo a metacognição, aumentando sua motivação, autoconfiança e autonomia, como também a sua criticidade em relação à sua própria aprendizagem, melhorando-a. Além disso fica evidente o papel desenvolvido pelo professor sendo fundamental na mediação dos processos metacognitivos.

Uma canção, dois tempos:
Authors: Lemos Moreira Igor
Published: June 2023

Lançada em 1985, a canção Conga foi um dos maiores hits da carreira artística e profissional da cantora cubana exilada Gloria Estefan. Em 2020, Gloria Estefan lançou uma nova versão do fonograma com a mudança no tema da canção, que passou a tematizar o samba brasileiro, gênero e dança que foram escolhidos como elementos constitutivos das identidades nacionais projetadas no século XX. O presente trabalho examina as canções Conga (1985) e Samba (2020) a partir da História do Tempo Presente, procurando perceber os processos de mobilização de representações dos gêneros musicais como parte das formações de narrativas sobre cubanidades e brasilidades.
Explicando o racismo no Brasil usando Lélia Gonzalez em sala de aula:
Authors: Tavares Denise Cerveira
Published: June 2023

Este trabalho versa sobre o conceito de racismo no pensamento de Lélia Gonzalez e da possibilidade de seu uso, a partir de leituras de trechos de suas obras (citações) em sala de aula. A questão que orienta este trabalho é: como o modo de compreender o racismo no Brasil, através do pensamento de Lélia González, pode ser efetivo no uso de sala de aula? Acredita-se que, como hipótese, os estudantes sairão compreendendo como se manifesta o racismo no seu dia a dia, assim como irão compreender o que significado ser “miscigenado” e porque o uso de tal termo, e, principalmente, habilidades de perceber o racismo oculto poderão ser desenvolvidas, bem como certas estruturas coloniais racistas se perpetuam atualmente. O referencial bibliográfico é o método que guia a escrita, com foco nas obras de Gonzalez. Conclui-se que é imperativo adicionar Gonzalez, como uma intérprete do Brasil, no currículo de História, podendo ser utilizada de maneira interdisciplinar, para que os alunos percebam que uma mulher negra pensou como o Brasil foi fundado por um racismo e colonialismo, e que definiu o que é esse racismo típico do Brasil, bem como, propôs críticas, formas de combate e maneiras de nos identificarmos como latinos, americanos e africanos ao mesmo tempo (ladinoamefricanos).
"Obscura tradição cultural" - representações sobre os indígenas na obra Capitania d'El Rey (1964)
Authors: De Lima Pâmela Cristina
Published: June 2023

A partir da análise discursiva dos escritos de Moysés Vellinho em Capitania d’El-Rei (1964), buscou-se compreender as maneiras como o autor representou os indígenas em sua peça de linguagem. Deste modo, analisou-se a escrita da história de Vellinho a partir da observação dos lugares sociais ocupados pelo autor, de sua carreira profissional até sua atuação em diferentes espaços de saber, sobretudo o Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Rio Grande do Sul (IHGRGS). Utilizando-nos da perspectiva decolonial de análise, que toma como ênfase as permanências simbólicas e culturais dos períodos de colonização, observamos a historiografia velliniana a partir dos constructos que o autor mobilizou em torno dos indígenas enquanto grupo, bem como (e sobretudo) das mulheres indígenas. Em outros termos, partiu-se da necessidade de analisar o discurso de Vellinho por meio de um viés crítico, desmantelando formações discursivas que perpetuam visões errôneas, preconceituosas e violentas.

Published: June 2023

Zoonotic diseases are the infections to be carried between human and other vertebrates. Rhabdoviruses belong to a virus family which could infect a wide range of host organism. It is important to find new molecular diagnostic tools and primers for the identification of the viruses to be able to make the molecular identification process faster and reveal new forms of the virus. Rodents are the primary mammals group that can uncontrollably go in and out from quarantine regions. Therefore, in this study, 242 Apodemus spp. (wood mouse) and Myodes glareolus (bank vole) specimens collected from 16 localities in province Zonguldak, Çaycuma district were used to scan brain tissues to determine RABV using hemi-nested PCR. Also, to determine RABV a new primer pairs were designed using already published sequences. According to results, eight specimens were showed positive bands for RABV. Those eight sequences blasted. But the sequences did not match according to the Blast result. The designed primer pairs provide positive bands on electrophoresis for positive control so that the primer pairs are new and can be used for following studies. With this study it was also tested whether rodents are the potential carriers for RABV since they are primarily prey source for carnivores, and domestic animals.

Published: June 2023

In the current study, bioremediation of Cu(II) by thermophile Cyanobacterium aponinum has been studied in BG11 media under different conditions. The optimum pH was 9 due to the maximum Cu(II) bioremoval efficiency as 71% in the medium with12.8 mg/L Cu(II). According to the results obtained from the trials, the highest bioremoval was 76.6% in the medium including 9.7 mg/L Cu(II) for incubation period of 10 days. When the effect of increasing temperature (25-45 °C) and biomass [20% and 40% (v/v)] concentrations on bioremediation by C. aponinum was investigated, the highest heavy metal removal was found 75.8% at 45 °C, 12.8 mg/L Cu(II), and 20% (v/v) biomass concentration. It was 76.3% in the medium with 13.8 mg/L pollutant, 40% (v/v) biomass concentration. The qm (maximum specific Cu(II) removal) was found as 6.1 mg/g at 45 °C in BG11 with 40% (v/v) biomass and 13.8 mg/L Cu(II). It has been concluded that Cu(II) bioremediation by thermophile C. aponinum was firstly investigated at various environmental conditions in this study. The results indicated that the tested cyanobacterium had a great potential to remove heavy metals from the aquatic environments, containing Cu(II).

Published: June 2023

Anthropogenic causes contribute to toxic pollutants in aquatic environments and heavy metal pollution. As a heavy metal, Lead (Pb), is one of the most common causes of pollution in water. Heavy metals must be removed from the aquatic environment because they adversely affect health and all living things in each environment. In this study we aimed to determine the effects of lead (Pb) exposure on the growth rates and biomass of two aquatic macrophyte species, E. densa and L. laevigatum. Plants grown in in two different experimental media. For this purpose, both plants were exposed to 3 different concentrations of lead (1 ppm, 5 ppm, 15 ppm). Samples were measured on the 1st, 4th and 7th days, and the first and last weights of the plants were compared. Bioexperiments were run in triplicate. Positive values were observed in the growth rates of both plants, except for the negative growth rates observed on the 1st day at 1 ppm and 5 ppm lead concentrations in the pond water environment. Both plants showed positive growth in 25% Hoagland medium at all concentrations and days, except for the 1 ppm lead concentration, being observed for E. densa. As a result of our study, lead exposure did not significantly alter the growth rates of E. densa and L. laevigatum in the experimental media used for short-term (up tp 7 days) durations.

Authors: KURŞUN Orçun Erdem , SÜZEN Sibel , YILDIRIM Özlem
Published: June 2023

In diabetic conditions, aldose reductase (AR, EC 1.1.1.21) activity is significantly increased in lens, kidney and nerve tissues. Mainly in ocular and neural tissues increased levels of sorbitol is associated with diabetic complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropahty, cataract formation and also tissue damage via increased reactive oxygen speices. Recently, there are many studies that show the relationship between this enzyme family and cancer. Aldose reductase is important for the pathway and in turn has been a potential target for drug design. Great number of aldose reductase inhibitors (ARIs) are used for prevention or delay of these diabetic complications and cancer. However, effective ARIs which has benefits in diabetic complications are still under investigation. In this study aldose reductase was partially purified from bovine lens and the inhibitory effects of 16 different indol-3-carboxyaldehydederivatives on aldose reductase enzyme activities were examined by kinetic assays. These results suggested that N'-[(5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)methylidene]pyridine-4-carbohydrazide showed that the highest inhibitory activity on AR.
Ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma and false negative frozen pathology: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: T Sullender Renee , S Binder Pratibha
Published: June 2023

Introduction: In this case report we discuss the presentation and management of a woman with a large adnexal mass.

Case Report: This report describes a 32-year-old year healthy woman who presented with four months of increasing abdominal fullness. Computed tomography (CT) imaging showed a 34 cm fluid-filled left adnexal mass with few thin septations. Tumor markers were within normal limits. She strongly desired minimally invasive surgery in the setting of low concern for malignancy. A mini-laparotomy was performed, purse string sutures were placed through the cyst wall, and fluid was aspirated with minimal spillage. Her left tube and ovary were resected laparoscopically. Intraoperative frozen pathology returned as mucinous cystadenoma with some areas of atypia. Final pathology resulted with Grade 2 mucinous adenocarcinoma and she was taken back to the operating room for a surgical staging procedure. Pathology from her laparoscopic staging surgery was benign. She underwent chemotherapy with carboplatin/paclitaxel for Stage 1C1, Grade 2 mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary based on intra-operative spillage.

Conclusion: Despite reassuring imaging and tumor markers, particularly in the setting of frozen pathology with low concern for malignancy, final pathology may indicate carcinoma. Although the accuracy of intra-operative frozen pathology is generally high, both gynecologic oncologists and non-oncologic gynecologists should be aware of the limitations of the test and counsel patients that the final pathology may be discordant. Appropriate counseling about the risk of intra-operative spillage and subsequent upstaging is of particular importance.

ABSTRACT: The article offers a careful analysis on the way the end of the USSR and the growth of the Orthodox presence in the European Union have challenged the concept of canonical territory. In the West, this has produced a phenomenon of the territorialization of the exercise of religious freedom. It is examined how the potential access to the EU of Ukraine, Moldova, Albania and Northern Macedonia will influence the relevance of these Churches in the relations that the Union maintains with them in application of art. 17 TFUE. Indeed, this relation is strengthened by the great consistency of the Orthodox diaspora in the West and by the development and growth of Eparchies abroad, created by the respective national Churches. Therefore, it is appropriate to reflect on the need for identifying self-preservation of all religions and in particular of the Orthodox one, in order to guarantee the balance and orderly development of the Union's institutional political system in a relationship compatible with the needs of separation and secularism of the States. Two key factors are the political crisis of the USSR and the granting of autocephaly to the ecclesiastical communities operating in the states which had become sovereign: this has weakened the Moscow Patriarchate and its role in the Orthodox ecumenical system; at the same time, the ecumenical patriarchate, which claims its exclusive right to grant autocephaly, has proceeded to “contractualize” the nature of his primacy through the structure of the Tomas.
La prospettiva di ‘Praedicate Evangelium’ relativa agli abusi liturgici

The perspective of 'Praedicate Evangelium' regarding liturgical abuses

ABSTRACT: The paper examines the transformations made by the Ap. const. Praedicate Evangelium [= EP] regarding the contrast of liturgical abuses. Beginning with the problem of celebratory propriety that emerged in the context of postconciliar disbandment, it first examines the essential features of the case of abusiveness (the frequency of the conduct, the erroneous presumption of justification for the conduct, and the prominence of the authoritative condition) and, then, the main magisterial and papal directive interventions. Article 66 PB outlined a specific supervisory function on the part of the Congregation for Worship. PE, indulging the criterion of decentralizing co-responsibility, stimulates awareness of its own attributions and the specific responsibility of the bishops in ensuring the observance of liturgical norms. Article 96 EP therefore makes explicit the duties of the episcopal office and the supporting and assisting role of the Dicastery. The elimination of abusiveness is expressly linked with increased liturgical formation. The normative change does not change the essence of ecclesial discipline; however, it requires a qualitative leap in the pastoral solicitude of bishops (the most significant contribution is the deontological call). An in-depth theoretical and practical study of the problem of liturgical abusiveness, without trespassing on casuistry, can help complete the cultural and regulatory turnaround underway.

Is it possible to measure religious or belief minority rights?

ABSTRACT: Is it possible to measure how much the legal systems of the European Union countries respect and promote the rights of religious or belief minorities? Based on the findings of the Atlas of religious or belief minority rights research project (https://atlasminorityrights.eu), this article answers the question in the affirmative. The paper is divided into three parts. The first briefly describes the methodology and techniques used to measure minority rights. They are determined by the answers given to some preliminary questions that are discussed in the second part of the contribution. The last section of the article outlines the purpose and value of measuring religious or belief minority rights.

De Albanensium seu Græcorum peculiari cura habenda. The religious condition of the Italo-Albanians in Calabria during the post-Tridentine age. Historical and legal outlines

Abstract: The invasion of Albania by the Turks in 1478 forced many Albanians to emigrate in the Kingdom of Naples and, in particular, in the Calabrian provinces. These Albanian refugees continued to speak their language and most of all to profess the Catholic religion, but according to the Byzantine rite. The liturgical and doctrinal diversity of this rite led, over the years, Calabrian bishops and priests following the Roman rite to be wary and suspicious towards these canonical practices. Nevertheless, the Holy See was generally benevolent towards the Italo-Albanian Catholic Church allowing the devotes the free exercise of religious practice, protecting diversity and encouraging the education of clerics, by enacting a series of important measures over the Centuries. This paper aims to focus, from a legal-historical perspective, the events concerning the Byzantine rite in Calabria between the 16th and the 18th Centuries, through the analysis of the decrees of some diocesan synods and some of the most important papal measures that allowed the Albanians of Calabria (arbëreshë) to resist the attempts of “Latinization” and at the same time to confirm, despite the diversity, their belonging to the Catholic Church.

Parole migranti in italiano
Authors: Ferrari Jacopo
Published: June 2023

Ad oltre trent’anni dall’apparizione delle prime narrazioni in italiano di migranti, questo libro prende in considerazione una delle caratteristiche peculiari della loro scrittura, vale a dire la massiccia presenza di parole ed espressioni della loro lingua madre, che sono così mantenute vive nella lingua accogliente e proposte ai lettori italiani. La ricerca è condotta su un apposito corpus composto da 157 romanzi e racconti editi in Italia tra il 1990 e il 2020, scritti da 91 autrici e autori provenienti da 34 Stati diversi; da questo corpus sono state estratte oltre 500 voci raccolte in un glossario. Sono analizzate la fenomenologia testuale, le numerose varianti grafiche, le classi grammaticali assunte in italiano, i campi semantici maggiormente coinvolti (gastronomia e abbigliamento soprattutto, ma anche religione, musica, oggettistica), le lingue di provenienza (almeno 30 accertabili) e la fortuna di queste parole migranti, spie di un possibile rinnovamento lessicale dovuto al contatto tra italiano e lingue dei migranti.

Purpose. The aim is to update the knowledge of hygiene guidelines related to contact lens wear. Material and Methods. The following literature review high- lights the causes of microbial keratitis and provides an over- view of the current research on contact lens hygiene, with particular emphasis on the use of tap water. In addition, a case report is used to highlight rare consequences of non- compliant behavior. Results. The main causative agents of microbial keratitis are bacteria, such as staphylococci and pseudomonas aeruginosa, fungi, and acanthamoeba. Because infection often requires rapid medical therapy and can lead to complications that reduce visual acuity, great importance should be placed on patient counseling and preventative measures. This includes conscientious hand hygiene, information on the problem tap water, and the use of the correct care product with necessary compliance. Conclusion. Good and correct contact lens hygiene is es- sential for long-term, low complication and safe contact lens wear. Especially the care of the contact lens case should not be ignored. To improve patient compliance, it is important to know the exact reasons for any non-compliant behavior in order to develop adapted and individual strategies. It is also relevant that hygiene guidelines are standardized to avoid confusing patients with different recommendations. Keywords Contact lens hygiene, tap water, microbial keratitis, compliance

Purpose. The human system consists of various subsystems. These are anatomically and functionally connected and form a structural unit. As a result, disorders in one subsystem can also affect other subsystems and the human system as a whole. Material and Methods. Using literature review and practi- cal experience, an overview of visual disorders associated with jaw and posture disorders is presented. These are visual acuity differences, spherical and astigmatic anisometropia, and binocular disorders. Visual disorders may be primary or secondary. Therefore, to determine visual asymmetry, testing for visual acuity and ametropias, as well as for sym- metric eye movement, convergence, and binocular function are useful. Results. Visual disorders with jaw and postural disorders can be transmitted by disorders of the nerve pathways (afferent as well as efferent disorders), muscles and skeleton. Therefore, an interdisciplinary assessment/diagnosis and selection of care and appropriate management is important. Conclusion. Optometrists must recognize visual disorders as- sociated with postural disorders in order to provide thorough history and treatment.
