Authors:   Department of Psychiatric Nursing, Nootan College of Nursing, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat - 384315, India, Sivasubramanian N
Published: March 2024

The menopausal experiences of women in selected rural areas of Visnagar, addressing a research gap within cultural and socio-economic landscapes is of interest. The global aging trend was reflected in the 26% representation of women aged 50 and over in the study. Employing a cross-sectional design, 200 menopausal women were sampled through stratified random sampling, emphasizing demographic diversity. Results from a structured Knowledge Questionnaire and a Likert Scale for Attitude revealed that women generally possessed commendable knowledge (mean score 10.94) and positive attitudes (mean score 28.66) toward menopause. Significant associations between age, education, occupation, and income with knowledge and attitudes were uncovered through chi-square tests. This study underscored the need for tailored interventions in rural settings, considering the influence of cultural, regional, and demographic factors on menopausal experiences. The findings contributed to bridging the research gap and emphasized the importance of individualized approaches for promoting the well-being of menopausal women in rural communities.
«La salud menstrual es un estado completo de bienestar físico, mental y social»: búsquedas terapéuticas, mercado y procesos de subjetivación en los activismos menstruales argentinos
Authors: Calafell Sala Núria
Published: March 2024

Este artículo presenta un análisis crítico discursivo en torno al concepto de salud menstrual en una serie de textos publicados en formato de libro y en las redes sociales en los últimos cinco años (2019-2023) por distintas activistas y educadoras menstruales de Argentina. En un itinerario de lectura que va de lo singular a lo colectivo, identifico la configuración de una episteme experiencial que redefine el cuerpo menstruante como informacional y multidimensional, lo que habilita que, además de una dimensión fisiológica, se reivindique su rol en los distintos contextos social, político, cultural, ambiental y económico. Ubico estos ejemplos en el marco de la precarización neoliberal que instala la cultura terapéutico-managerial como imperativo moral, al mismo tiempo que interpela a ciertas subjetividades con privilegio relativo —mujeres blancas, urbanas, capacitadas y formadas— a disputar y tensionar sentidos.

Principles of socio-psychological technologies’ development to support stigmatized minorities in the field of media communication
Authors: Husiev Ihor
Published: March 2024

The goal of the article is to highlight psychological principles in the development of sociopsychological technologies to support stigmatized minorities in the field of media communication. To clarify the peculiarities of the perception of stigma and reflect this phenomenon in the process of media communication, two separate surveys are conducted, one among the general population, and the other, among LGBT and HIV activists, concerning the peculiarities of stigmatized minorities experiencing their own stigma. Thus, respondents among the general population predominantly believe that people with HIV deserve equality in rights and attitudes. But some of those respondents who occupy lower professional positions are more biased towards HIV-positive people. As for the LGBT community, the respondents show opposite assessments, the statements that LGBT people should hide it and not tell anyone about it are highly valued, and the statements about the isolation of the LGBT community are quite high. Among stigmatized minorities representatives, 71% were cyberbullying victims (from isolated cases to constant harassment). The most frequent victims of cyberbullying are men, and among activists – HIV activists. Most often, activists face such manifestations of cyberbullying as insults in comments to news and on Twitter, threats on Facebook, intimidation on forums. The qualitative stage of the study is aimed at outlining the principles to construct the sociо-psychological support technologies of stigmatized minorities. Particularly, two focus group sessions are held with each group of respondents: LGBT military, HIV activists, respondents without signs of stigmatization. Thus, there are defined socio-psychological principles to construct a comprehensive technology for the formation of tolerant and safe media space (taking into account the needs and psychological characteristics of media participants). There are highlighted the psychological principles for the development of technologies aimed directly at the support of stigmatized minorities’ representatives, at the formation of effective behavioral models to resist the stigmatization

Authors: Tytarenko Tetiana
Published: March 2024

The article studies the factors of psychological well-being preservation in a pandemic situation. There are analyzed the changes that were made in life, the vision of the future, value and semantic priorities, practices of uncertainty and danger overcoming. Within the qualitative methodology, it is used the method of thematic narrative analysis. The time of the study is AprilMay 2020. The following personal factors of psychological well-being preservation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic are identified. 1) The ability to adequately, carefully assess the quarantine situation, which is demonstrated by 45% of respondents. 2) Temporal competence of the individual, ability to understand the causal links between past, present, and future, which is shown by half of the respondents (for the rest of respondents, it is difficult to understand these connections). 3) The ability to choose a way to preserve psychological well-being in accordance with the value-semantic characteristics of life, which are manifested in the personal landscapes; common landscapes during the pandemic include the pragmatic one (22%), the existential one (21%), the self-development one (19%), the communicative one (17%), and the societal one (14%). 4) The ability to apply the practices of negative states overcoming in accordance with previous experience of behavior in difficult life situations; despite this, 37% showed an unwillingness to notice their negative states, and lack of coping practices; the most commonly used were the creative and leisure copings (22%), copings of commonality (16%), and hyper loaded activities (13%). It is shown that pandemic times can be a period not only to preserve but also to increase psychological well-being. By assimilating the traumatic experience, a person forms readiness for the necessary changes in his/ her own present, sees the future more panoramically, and constructively chooses the further vector of life creation. The social significance of the study is seen in the possibility to develop targeted preventive measures, taking into account different ways of assessing pandemic risks, attitudes to the future, leading values, self-help practices
Psychological principles of modeling as a methodological area of social forecasting
Authors: Zhovtianska Valeria
Published: March 2024

The article aimed to identify the psychological foundations of modeling social phenomena to predict their development. Modeling, extrapolation, and expert methods are the most common methodological areas of social prognosis. The literature now pays more attention to extrapolation and expert methods, despite the inherent shortcomings and limitations in these methodological areas compared to modeling. This is because modeling requires identifying the fundamental causes for social processes, which is a problem area in modern science. Based on theoretical analysis, the article substantiates the thesis that the modeling of social development processes should outline the understanding of its psychological mechanisms and factors. Since, in the ontological sense, the agent of this development is a person as a member of society, it is the content of the mental life of society members that determines the vector of social change. At the same time, when modeling social processes, it is crucial to consider the cultural achievements of a particular society, which can be identified with the initial position to which the vector of further social development will be applied. In practical terms, the design of prognostic models of social development involves the identification of psychological characteristics important for determining the functioning of society and understanding the psychological mechanisms through which these characteristics affect social development. Besides, short-term and medium-term forecasts for determining the vector of development of society can be based on current measurements of these characteristics. Forecasting social changes for a more significant time perspective requires generalized models of social development, which would take into account time changes in the psychological aspects. The psychological principles described in the article can be directly used in the design of prognostic models of social development processes, which is a prospect for further work and determines the practical value of the study
Theory of social identity and prediction of social behavior: Basic approaches
Authors: Kukharuk Olha
Published: March 2024

The article’s relevance is due to the importance of problems of social forecasting, in particular the prediction of social behavior. Classical and modern studies of social identity are analyzed. In the world, this theory is one of the basic for the analysis and prediction of group behavior; in Ukrainian psychological researches, the realization of social identity’s behavioral aspect is almost not represented. The purpose of the study is the analysis of theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of behavior through the prism of the theory of social identity in various fields of sociopsychological knowledge. The research methodology – analysis of articles and research papers carried out within the social identity theory to study the behavioral component of social identity. The analysis results showed that predicting social behavior is one of the critical areas of study within the social identity theory. Social identity theory’s heart of predicting social behavior can be divided into three essential components. Appeal to the individual as a carrier of identity and influence on the behavior of group members through such a carrier. Request to the crucial components of identity – the impact on behavior is possible both through the appeal to individual components of identity and social identity as a whole, as a unique combination of types of identity. Strengthening the value component and striving for positive identification is the driving force for maintaining and preserving the group’s identity. All these postulates have been confirmed by numerous applied studies and make it possible to consider them as a theoretical basis for developing methodological foundations for predicting social behavior. Prospects for further research are seen in a deeper analysis of the research results conducted within the theory of social identity, highlighting the basic patterns common to these studies and the integration of knowledge into Ukrainian socio-psychological scientific thought to develop methodological approaches to predicting social behavior

Published: March 2024

It has been widely observed that the role of leaders is paramount in developing the working environment within the organization, where ethics, working attitudes, and trust are key to running the organization efficiently. Building on this, the current research was planned to study the relationship between leaders’ ethical leadership, teachers’ working attitude and the mediating role of trust. Teachers were asked to report about their leaders’ (chairpersons/heads) ethical leadership. A quantitative survey was conducted by adopting descriptive research approach. Four public universities were scrutinized on a convenient basis. From these universities, 332 teachers were selected through a simple random sampling technique. Existing research tools were adopted to collect data. Data analyses were done using the statistical software SPSS to reach to certain findings. Two research hypotheses were presented to analyze the results. After calculating the descriptive statistics, simple linear regression and an independent sample t-test were applied to infer findings. The findings show that ethical leadership has a significant relationship with teachers’ working attitude and teachers' trust in their leaders. Our second research hypothesis was not accepted as we could not detect the difference in the opinion of male and female teachers in view of ethical leadership, teachers’ work attitude and trust. We also stressed the limitations and presented directions for future research.

Authors: Bassetti Mario , Bassetti Renzo , Sculean Anton , Salvi Giovanni E.
Published: March 2024

Subkutane Emphyseme sind eine seltene Komplikation in der Parodontologie. In den meisten Fällen verschwinden sie spontan. Das Risiko besteht jedoch, dass sich Luft in tiefere Gesichtsräume aus- breiten könnte, was in seltenen Fällen zu lebensgefährlichen Komplikationen wie der Kompression der Lunge oder der Entstehung eines Pneumomediastinums führen kann. Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, dass sich Mikroorganismen aus der Mundhöhle in tiefere Logen ausbreiten. Folglich ist eine schnelle Diagnose subkutaner Emphyseme wichtig, wobei charakteristische Zeichen einerseits eine verschiebbare Schwellung andererseits Krepitation sind. In diesem Bericht wird der Fall eines 69-jährigen Mannes mit einem subkutanen Emphysem beschrieben, welches unmittelbar nach einer Periim- plantitistherapie unter Anwendung des Air-Flow Master® in Kombination mit Glycinpulver (EMS, Nyon, Schweiz) auftrat, wobei sich Luft in der lin- ken Gesichtshälfte ansammelte. Sieben Tage nach der nicht chirurgischen Periimplantitistherapie präsentierte sich der Patient symptomlos, wobei das Emphysem vollständig verschwunden war.
Interdental cleaning and gingival injury potential of interdental toothbrushes. A laboratory investigation
Authors: Vogel Marc , Sener Beatrice , Roos M. , Attin Thomas , Schmidlin Patrick R.
Published: March 2024

The effective cleaning of interdental spaces using toothbrushes is a challenge. The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate on the one hand the interdental cleaning efficiency and on the other hand the gingival injury potential of an electric single-headed sonic toothbrush (Water-pik) and two single-tufted manual toothbrushes (Curaprox1009; Lactona Interdental Brush). Brushes were evaluated using a brushing device. Test dental casts (maxillary sextants) consisting of black teeth coated with white paint were brushed using standardized horizontal movements. Thereafter, black (i.e. cleaned) areas were measured planimetrically. The soft tissue injury potential was evaluated using front segments of porcine mandibles. In the same brushing device, test brushes were moved over the gingiva. Before and after each treatment, the porcine mucosa was stained with a plaque disclosing agent to visualize injured areas, which could then be measured planimetrically as well. These evaluations were each made after 15, 30, 60, and 120 seconds of brushing. The statistical analysis was performed using non-parametric Mann-Whitney tests, and the level of significance was set at 5%. The best cleaning performance of 46% across all interdental spaces assessed was found with the electric sonic toothbrush (Waterpik), while the performances of the manual brushes from Lactona and Curaprox were 14.8% and 5%, respectively. At each point of evaluation, the gingiva was injured most markedly by the powered sonic toothbrush (Waterpik), followed by the manual Curaprox brush. The smallest damage of the porcine gingiva was produced by the manual Lactona brush. When comparing the manual toothbrushes, the Lactona product revealed a better cleaning performance combined with a smaller injury potential than the Curaprox brush. Thus, the prophylactic goal to achieve high degrees of cleaning while producing minimal damage is important and should have priority when evaluating and selecting toothbrushes.

TOEC – calcifications radiologiques anormales en médecine dentaire
Authors: Lanzer Martin , Yildirim Ayhan , Kruse Astrid L. , Grätz Klaus , Lübbers Heinz-Theo
Published: March 2024

La tumeur odontogène épithéliale calcifiante (TOEC) est une entité tumorale primairement bénigne, localisée habituellement dans la région molaire de la mâchoire inférieure, à croissance expansive et rarement destructrice au niveau local. En raison de son incidence très faible (environ quatre cas par année au niveau mondial), le diagnostic de TOEC est difficile en l’absence d’examen histopathologique de la lésion. Comme la TOEC ne représente qu’environ 1% de l’ensemble des tumeurs odontogènes, elle est généralement négligée dans le diagnostic différentiel de ces tumeurs et se présente habituellement comme une «découverte fortuite» lors d’un examen histopathologique. Nous présentons dans ce travail un cas clinique de TOEC, appelée également tumeur de Pindborg, et les diagnostics différentiels les plus fréquents de cette entité tumorale.

An adequate portrayal of the root canal anatomy by diagnostic imaging is a prerequisite for a successful diagnosis and therapy in endodontics. The introduction of dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has considerably expanded the scope of imaging diagnostics. The aim of the following study was to evaluate the imaging of endodontic structures with CBCT. One hundred and twenty teeth were examined with a CBCT device (ProMax 3D). Subsequently, the findings of the three-dimensional images were evaluated and compared to those of dental radiographs and tangential section preparations of the examined teeth. Results with high prevalence, such as existing roots and root canals, as well as results with low prevalence, e.g., extremely fine anatomical structures of the endodontic tissue, could be visualized precisely by dental CBCT; side canals, ramifications, communications, pulp stones, and obliterations could also be detected. Additionally, the length of curved root canals could be determined accurately. Likewise, root fractures were visualized reliably with CBCT. However, carious lesions could not be diagnosed adequately, and the evaluation of fillings and prosthetic restorations was complicated due to scattered X-ray artifacts. CBCT datasets qualify to visualize and diagnose small anatomical structures of the endodontic tissue.

In December 2013, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has placed Switzerland for the first time at the top of the list of countries’ general population life ex­pectancy. The augmenting life expectancy and demographic changes are leading to an increase in the number of older people who are dependent on care (Höpflinger & Hugentobler 2003, Höpf­ linger et al. 2011). Multimorbidity and the result­ ing polypharmacy have inevitable consequences for the oral health and present a challenge for dentists (Fried et al. 2001). As dental treatment for multimorbid and bedridden adults can be quite complex, it seems necessary also from a dental perspective to detect age­related defi­ciencies as early as possible. If depression, dementia or malnutrition is suspected, an imme­diate referral to a specialist physician is recom­mended for an in­depth assessment and treat­ment. For older adults in particular, dental measures alone do not necessarily lead to an improvement in well­being and nutritional state.
Intraorales Lipom am Zungengrund
Authors: Bassetti Renzo , Tomasetti Patrick , Kuttenberger Johannes
Published: March 2024

Lipome treten im Mundbereich relativ selten auf. Sie gehören zu den weichgewebigen mesenchymalen Tumoren, sind gutartig und wachsen in der Regel langsam und asymptomatisch. Wichtig ist die differenzialdiagnostische Abgrenzung zum Liposarkom, das eine maligne Variante einer fettgewebigen Neoplasie darstellt und ebenfalls schmerzfrei und eher langsam wächst. Aus diesem Grund ist bei klinischem Verdacht auf ein Lipom nach dessen Entfernung immer eine histopathologische Untersuchung zur Diagnosesicherung angezeigt. Ziel dieses Fallberichtes ist, das schrittweise Vorgehen bei der operativen Entfernung eines Lipoms an der Zungenunterseite links darzustellen und eine kurze Übersicht über die dazu verfügbare Literatur zu geben.
Utilisation des logiciels CAO-FAO pour prothèses complètes
Authors: Deak Alexander , Marinello Carlo P.
Published: March 2024

La fabrication de prothèses totales avec la tech- nique de pressage classique nécessite plusieurs séances cliniques et la collaboration du techni- cien dentaire. En revanche, la réalisation de pro- thèses totales fraisées en utilisant la technologie de numérisation («scannage») est en mesure de simplifier grandement le travail clinique ainsi que le travail technique au laboratoire dentaire. Le but de cette contribution est de présenter étape par étape une nouvelle procédure (AvaDent®, Global Dental Science, Scottsdale), qui permet la réalisation de prothèses totales en deux séances seule- ment. Pour ce faire, la prise d’empreinte définitive des maxillaires est réalisée lors de la première séance, de même que la détermination de la dimension verticale et horizontale au moyen de l’enregistrement de l’arc gothique par stylet scripteur, ainsi que la détermination de la position esthétique et fonctionnelle des dents antérieures (ligne médiane, contour des bords incisifs, taille des incisives). Les prothèses sont insérées en bouche au cours de la deuxième séance. La technique permet la modélisation virtuelle totale et le fraisage d’une prothèse complète, sans modèles en plâtre et sans mise en moufle dis- pendieuse ni bourrage de la résine au laboratoire dentaire. Ce système permet donc la réalisation hautement efficiente de prothèses totales amovibles de haute qualité pour le patient édenté. Nous présentons ci-dessous une évaluation critique de ce procédé du point de vue de l’utilisateur.
Résultats de stérilisation de bandelettes chargées de spores
Authors: Morandi Pierre-Alain , Kesseler Dagmar
Published: March 2024

Le Centre Suisse de Contrôle de Qualité organise des contrôles externes de qualité pour les laboratoires d’analyses médicales ainsi que des contrôles biologiques de stérilisation pour auto- claves. Durant la période 2008–2012, 209 cabinets de dentistes ont réalisé 4709 stérilisations d’indicateurs biologiques – bandelettes recouvertes de spores de Geobacillus stearothermophilus. Le nombre médian de stérilisations par participant a été de 20. Les autoclaves à vapeur d’eau ont obtenu de meilleures performances par rapport aux Chemiclave. Il en ressort que, à 99 reprises (2,1%), les bandelettes n’ont pas été stérilisées correctement et que, de plus, 61 participants (29,2%) ont été confrontés à une ou plusieurs stérilisations inefficaces. En outre, nous n’observons pas d’amélioration des performances dans le temps.

This study investigates the frequency of injuries, in particular dental injuries, among ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes. It also examines the level of knowledge regarding tooth protection and tooth rescue boxes in this population. Of the 465 sportswomen and sportsmen who took part in the study, 230 (62.5%) of the 368 ski jumpers and 56 (56.5%) of the 97 Nordic combined athletes had sustained an injury. In both disciplines injury was most likely among professionals. The survey participants reported injuries to the limbs (n = 216), head and lips (n = 273 and n = 253, respectively), torso or spine (n = 249), teeth (n = 246), nose (n = 229) and jaw (n = 26). Dental injuries were more common among professionals than either amateur or junior ski jumpers, whereas, among the Nordic combined athletes, juniors were most likely to sustain a dental injury. Overall, the frequency of dental injury was significantly (p = 0.019) higher among adults 12.7% (n = 234) than junior athletes 6.1% (n = 212). The level of awareness of mouthguards and tooth rescue boxes varied between countries. The high injury rate recorded in this study demonstrates that ski jumping contains a considerable risk of injury, including tooth damage. Consequently, it seems reasonable to inform skiing organisations, trainers and athletes about the potential benefits of mouthguards and tooth rescue boxes in order to reduce the risk of dental injury.

Published: March 2024

Endodontic surgery aims at the resolution of a periapical inflammatory process by surgical access followed by enucleation of the lesion and root-end filling to curb any potentially noxious agent within the physical confines of the affected root. Guided bone regeneration could be associated to endodontic surgery aiming to enhance periradicular tissue regeneration. The objective of this paper was to review the scientific literature about guided bone regeneration in endodontic surgery, evaluating the effects on periapical lesion healing process. The included articles are classified considering the anatomical characteristics of the lesion. Fourteen articles were included in the review after abstract and title selection. Eight articles were on studies on lesions affecting only the periapical region (three about through-and-through lesions) while six were about the treatment of apico-marginal lesions. On the basis of the currently available literature, there is a low scientific evidence of a benefit related. to the use of guided bone regeneration procedure in endodontic surgery.
Obturation du canal radiculaire à la gutta-percha
Authors: Yildirim Ayhan , Lübbers Heinz-Theo , Yildirim Vedat
Published: March 2024

La gutta-percha est un produit naturel chimiquement apparenté au caoutchouc, issu du latex d’arbres de la famille des sapotacées (en particulier Palaquium gutta), que l’on trouve notamment en Malaisie et dans d’autres pays avoisinants. A température ambiante, la gutta-percha est assez dure et donc peu élastique; lorsqu’elle est chauffée, elle devient malléable et moulable à partir de 50 °C. En médecine dentaire, la gutta-percha est principalement utilisée comme matériau d’obturation des canaux radiculaires.
