Introduction: The endodontic therapy is performed with appropriate preparation techniques, irrigation solutions and intracanal medications, with the aim of eliminating residual microorganisms. The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the level of awareness and clinical use of intracanal medicaments, and ways to remove them among dentists. Material and methods: The subject of the survey is the opinion of 249 dentists with different work experience and work orientations. Questions to identify the most commonly used intracanal medicaments in the course of endodontic treatment by general dentists are included. Identify the clinical situations in which they are most commonly used, as well as the preferred techniques and solutions for their elimination. The data were processed with the statistical software IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The results of the survey show that most of the respondents practice general dentistry and 98% of the respondents use intracanal medications in their practice. The most commonly used intracanal medicament is calcium hydroxide in single and combined form, 49% and 75%, respectively. According to 96.7%, medications affect the healing process. Syringe and needle irrigation with 2-5.25% NaOCI is one of the most commonly used methods for removing intracanal medicaments (96.3%). 74% of the respondents have difficulties in removing intracanal medicaments. Conclusion: Based on their clinical experience, respondents indicated that they have difficulty in the complete removal of intracanal medicaments, and half of them believe that not all methods for their removal are available. At the same time, the respondents point out that the incomplete removal of intracanal drugs affects the adhesion of the canal filling material to the walls of the root canal.

PURPOSE: The present study aimed to investigate the properties of coronary dentin of vital and endodontically treated human teeth using Raman Spectroscopy. MATERIAL/METHODS: The samples used were taken from coronary dentin of intact extracted human teeth, ultrasonically cleaned and stored in a 0.2% thymol solution at 4 degrees Celsius for up to 3 months. They were divided into two groups – “vital dentin” and “endodontically treated dentin” samples. Each sample was crossed-sectioned, embedded in resin, polished and subjected to Raman spectroscopy with a Horiba Jobin-Yvon T64000 triple-grating spectrometer, using a CdHe laser with 4 μm diameter of the laser spot and 2.5mW of power on the examined surface. The resultant diagrams were analyzed using the software package Origin 9.6 andunderwent baseline correction and normalization. A comparison between the two studied groups was made. RESULTS: The results from the “vital dentin” group showed a well-expressed crystalline structure, with clear peaks corresponding to pure and b-carbonated hydroxyapatite. The results of the “endodontically treated dentin” group showed the presence of new chemical compounds – octacalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, as well as increased intensity of the b-carbonated hydroxyapatite peaks. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of mineral substances with low calcium content could contribute to a decrease in dentin toughness, which in turn can lessen the mechanical properties of endodontically treated teeth. Raman spectroscopy can be a useful tool in the detection of these dentin components.

The Touch Taboo: Origins for the Prohibition of Touch in Psychiatry and a Rational Osteopathic Approach
Authors: Huzij Teodor
Published: November 2022

The prohibition of touch in psychiatry has multiple origins. The most prominent advocate for an interdiction on touch has been Sigmund Freud and the legacy of psychoanalysis. Scientism, dualism, and medicolegal concerns have also promoted a touch taboo in psychiatry. However, it is evident that non-sexual physical touch is vital for human health; studies of touch in children and adults have shown numerous health benefits physically and psychologically. A discussion of ethical principles in light of the use of touch in psychiatry is provided. Several theoretical paradigms do utilize touch in treating patients and are reviewed including the medical model, body-psychotherapies, and osteopathic medicine. The osteopathic philosophy provides a lens through which the osteopathic physician both assesses and provides rational treatment to the patient. In addition to this philosophy, osteopathic physicians are extensively trained in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). Osteopathic physicians have treated patients with psychiatric disorders with OMT and other treatments for nearly 150 years. The unique osteopathic model of care contrasts with the long-standing prohibition of touch with psychiatric patients and thereby provides a rational approach to the use of touch in psychiatry. The reasoned recommendations for osteopathic psychiatrists using touch clinically include consent, context, and competency considerations.

The samples of 4 mushroom species from the genus Leccinum ((Leccinum pseudoscabrum (Kallenb.) Šutara, Leccinum scabrum (Bull.) Gray, Leccinum duriusculum (Schulzer ex Kalchbr.) Singer, and Leccinum albostipitatum den Bakker & Noordel) were picked from 6 forested areas of Slovakia in 2020 (Čačín – Jelšovec, Hliník and Hronom, Kurima – Taraš, Mníšek nad Popradom, Snina – Štefekovo, Žákylské pleso). Total mercury content in soil and mushroom parts was determined by cold-vapor AAS analyzer AMA 254. Mercury content in monitored soil samples ranged from 0.07 to 0.18 mg.kg-1 DM. The limit value for Hg in soil ( 0.50 mg.kg-1) was not exceeded. Mercury content in analyzed cap samples ranged from 0.41 to 7.52 mg.kg-1 DM. Mercury content in analyzed stem samples ranged from 0.40 to 2.91 mg.kg-1 DM. The EU limit value in edible mushrooms for Hg (0.75 mg kg-1 FW) was exceeded in caps from Mníšek nad Popradom. Values of the bioconcentration factor indicate that Leccinum mushrooms are accumulators of Hg. The PTWI of Hg was not exceeded. The THQ of all samples was lower than 1. This means that the average consumption of mushrooms from this localities should not cause a serious risk to human health. However, the intake of Hg from other sources must also be taken into account.

An alternative perspective on development cooperation through CSOs: From technical management to social transformation

After years of development cooperation focused on service delivery and technical assistance, several years ago the Netherlands put the political role of civil society organisations in the South centre stage with the programme ‘Dialogue and Dissent’ (2016-2020). The aim was to strengthen the voice of marginalised groups in order to achieve more structural solutions to issues of poverty, inequality and exclusion. Compared to previous programmes of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this new approach represented a fundamental shift in thinking, a paradigm shift.

This article describes two archetypal approaches to development cooperation: the technical management approach and the social transformative approach. It then describes how ‘Dialogue and Dissent’ makes the shift from one to the other through a stronger focus on the political role of CSOs, establishing partnership relations, and on flexible and more qualitative forms of monitoring and evaluation. It addresses tensions, growing pains and dilemmas that arise during implementation. It provides tools for policymakers, politicians and researchers to question the paradigms we find ourselves in, and relate the choices we make to them.
Access to justice in the digital era

Access to justice in the digital era

Developments in digital technologies have induced profound changes in the way legal services and legal dispute resolution bodies operate. But little is known about how the use of digital technologies in the field of law affects access to justice (A2J) for individuals and businesses. Digital technologies are often seen as enhancing A2J. Yet, empirical research into the (presumed) advantages and disadvantages of the use of digital applications for A2J is lacking. The aim of this special issue is to contribute to the empirical evidence base.

The various contributions demonstrate that some types of digitalization provide better A2J because they broaden ways to contact institutions, make access cheaper or enable case processing in times of emergency, such as a pandemic. Despite these positive aspects, there are also challenges related to A2J, namely negative consequences of remote communication for the quality of procedures and participation of litigants; failure of technological solutions to deliver promised benefits; and difficulties of access for persons with poor digital capabilities or in vulnerable conditions.

Digitalizing Welfare: The role of encounters in supporting marginalised citizens’ access to rights in the Danish welfare state

Digitalisation of the public sector is advocated for as an efficient and responsive approach to the delivery of public services. In this article, we analyse the role of digitalisation from a bottom-up perspective as we zoom in on socially marginalised citizens’ access to welfare rights in the context of the digitalised Danish welfare state. In the Danish welfare state, the authority and responsibility to distribute welfare support rest mainly with the municipalities which thus play a significant role in the public sector infrastructure when it comes to ensuring efficient responses to citizens’ social problems. Yet, research suggests that citizens who lack legal and digital capabilities related to accessing welfare support in a digitalised welfare state may face challenges in this process. Drawing on observations of encounters between socially marginalised citizens and social workers who as intermediaries assist the citizens in the process of gaining access to welfare rights, and on semi-structured interviews with both parties, the article suggests that encounters between socially marginalised citizens and intermediaries can be decisive for citizens’ ability to access rights in the digitalised space of the welfare state.

This paper provides a systematic review syntheses of literature reviews concerning Physics Education Research (PER) in the last two decades. For this synthesis, we searched into 33 different peer-reviewed Iberoamerican journals individually, and we were able to gather and narrow down to 31 literature review articles from four different Iberoamerican countries. The search period was from January 2000 to June 2020. We adopted Bardin’s (2016) content analysis as a theoretical framework; hence, grouping all the literature review articles into four different dimensions concerning: teaching level; physics content; didactical strategies; and physics education related to other contexts. Our findings indicated that most literature reviews are from the last decade, and 45% are aimed to describe the presence of specific content of physics. Of all these, 71% are related to topics in modern and contemporary physics. The 55% is divided into literature reviews concerning the use of didactical strategies, or the relation of physics education to other contexts. Moreover, concerning the quality of information disclosure related to the reviews’ description methods, we have found that 17 out of 31 are of high quality. We point out the absence of literature review in PER that searched for the presence of theoretical frameworks, based on didactical or psychological theoretical references, as a basis to plan or apply didactic sequences of any physical content.

India ranks second in goat population with 34 genetically recognized and registered breeds. Information on their diversity and origin and ancestry is little known. Hence, the mtDNA based genetic diversity analysis of Indian goats; targeting mitochondrial HVR1 region from 21 Indian breeds belonging to different geographical regions was undertaken. A total of 124 haplotypes were identified and haplotype diversity estimate ranged from 0.67 to 1.0 with an average value of 0.99. The average nucleotide diversity was minimum (0.02) in Kanniadu and maximum in Surti breeds. Analysis of molecular variance revealed 5.16% variation among the breeds and 94.84% within breeds indicating weak phylogeographic structure. Neighbor-joining tree analysis revealed that the maximum number of individuals of Indian goats fall under A and few in B and C lineages. Principal component analyses of the Indian goat breeds revealed that Kanniadu goats clustered distantly from rest of the breeds of the country. Mantel test revealed a significant correlation between FST and geographical distance (r=0.29) among the goat breeds. The mismatch distribution analysis of the Indian goat breeds revealed bimodal distribution patterns. The analysis revealed that Kanniadu is highly distinct from the rest of the breeds.

In India, among various diseases that limit livestock production, Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) stands first and affects thousands of animals every year. The estimation of loss due to FMD is of paramount importance for designing appropriate control plans. The economic impact studies on various livestock diseases including FMD are very minimal and hence this study assessed the economic loss due to FMD in cattle and buffaloes in few states and overall loss in the country. The total loss estimated comprise of milk yield reduction, unavailability of draught power, distress sale, treatment cost, mortality and opportunity cost of labour based on primary survey undertaken in 10 states and one Union territory. The results revealed that there was variation in loss levels between species and among the study states due to variation in disease incidence and severity levels, productive capacity of the animals, animal health infrastructure in the respective states, etc. The total estimated loss due to FMD in cattle and buffalo was INR 20,897 crore during 2013-14 with wide variation in magnitude across the states studied. The study provided empirical evidence of loss due to FMD in cattle and buffaloes in few states and overall loss in the country.

Published: November 2022

Mangoes are nutritionally rich subtropical fruits with unique flavour, fragrance, taste and health promoting compounds, making it one among new functional foods. Both peel and pulp contain many bioactive phytochemicals like phenolics, carotenoids, flavonoids, etc., which are proven antioxidants. The present study was carried out to profile these bioactive nutraceuticals in peel and pulp of 12 mango cultivars along with total antioxidant activity and L, a, and b values to identify the most beneficial health promoting cultivars. Total phenolics were estimated using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, total flavonoids and total carotenoids by spectrophotometric methods and total antioxidant activity by CUPRAC (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity) assay. Colorimetric (L, a, and b) values were taken in a colorimeter. The data indicated significant variations in the contents of all three major phytochemicals in both peel and pulp of mango cultivars, where peel contained more nutraceuticals than pulp. The variation in total antioxidant activity in peel and pulp was also significant among the cultivars. It was noticed that total phenolics and total flavonoids contributed more towards total antioxidant activity as compared to total carotenoids. On the basis of the contents of total phenolics and total flavonoids along with total antioxidant activity, Neelum was found nutritionally richest cultivar followed by Mallika and Amrapali. Being rich in antioxidant principles, ripe mango peel can also be utilised for phenolics extraction through waste management technique and in phyto-pharmaceutical industry.

Forty-two genotypes of China aster [Callistephus chinensis (L.) Nees] were evaluated in RBD with two replications for growth, flowering, yield and postharvest traits to determine the variability, heritability, genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation, correlation and path coefficient among 13 quantitative traits, based on which selection may be made. The study was carried out at the Division of Floriculture and Medicinal Crops, ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru during 2015â€“16 and 2016â€“17. Results revealed that magnitude of the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the traits. High (>20%) PCV and GCV was recorded for plant height, number of leaves per plant, plant spread, flower stalk length, 100 flower weight, number of flowers per plant and weight of flowers per plant. Heritability estimates ranged from 92.32% (number of leaves per plant) to 99.84% (100 flower weight). High heritability coupled with high genetic gain as per cent of mean was recorded for all the traits studied. The weight of flowers per plant was significant and positively correlated with all the economic traits, except for shelf life. Path coefficient analysis using correlation coefficients revealed that number of flowers per plant contributed highest positive direct effect on weight of flowers per plant, followed by weight of 100 flowers. Therefore, the selection on the basis of traits, viz. plant height, number of leaves per plant, plant spread, flower stalk length, 100 flower weight, number and weight of flowers per plant will be more effective for improvement of traits in breeding of China aster.

Allopurinol, utilized in the treatment of gouty arthritis and hyperuricemia, is one of the most prescribed medications in general medical practice. Although well-tolerated, allopurinol can cause rare and severe adverse reactions, including bone marrow toxicity. A 68-year-old man presented to the hospital with severe neutropenia and aseptic meningitis. After an extensive workup, allopurinol was determined to be the culprit medication causing severe agranulocytosis, and his blood counts recovered upon discontinuing the drug. Drug-induced agranulocytosis is a rare but serious adverse reaction. Treatment includes supportive care and discontinuation of the offending agent.

Published: November 2022

The classical prototype of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) associated vasculopathy is contralateral hemiplegia after herpes zoster ophthalmicus. We describe a 30-year-old patient with no vascular risk factors who presented with a lacunar stroke and was found to have focal intracranial stenosis. He presented again one and a half months later with new findings suggestive of progressive multifocal intracranial stenoses. Although vasculitis was suspected initially, varicella zoster virus reactivity raised the possibility of VZV associated vasculopathy. This case serves as a reminder to suspect this type of vasculopathy even in immunocompetent patients with no cutaneous manifestations. Intracranial stenosis affecting M1 of the middle cerebral artery and the distal portion of the internal carotid artery is common in VZV vasculopathy and should hint toward the diagnosis as shown in this case.

Fertilizer plays a significant role in increasing crop yield and helps to ensure food security in any country. Nevertheless, the excessive use of fertilizer has led to several environmental impacts including pollution and groundwater contamination in different parts of the world. In the present scenario, most agricultural lands have been used for more than 100 or several years for agricultural purposes. Because of this continuous usage of lands and the application of chemical fertilizer, soil quality is being declined. Agricultural practices are increasingly leaning towards committing to a sustainable environment. Considering this, organic farming has become acceptable to many farmers. Many are practicing environmental-friendly practices such as using organic liquid fertilizer/nutrients instead of the synthetic alternative. Trend of organic farming is increasing day by day and it is the most urgent need to human being. Navsari Agricultural University is also working on organic farming concept and regularly updating package of practices of different crops through organic inputs. So, a study was conducted to know the relationship between profile of respondents and their knowledge about nauroji novel organic liquid nutrients. The study was conducted in Navsari and Bharuch district, two talukas of each district were selected and reveal that, out of sixteen independent variables land holding, occupation, education, annual income, farming experience, economic motivation, social participation, scientific orientation, innovative proneness, mass media exposure, extension contact, motivational source and attitude towards IPM technologies were found positively and significantly associated.
