Published: November 2022

Background: Meningiomas are the most prevalent of all intracranial tumours. Although they are mostly benign, about 20% of meningiomas are atypical or malignant. Knowledge of their histologic grade can be clinically useful while planning surgery.Objectives: To differentiate between various grades and subtypes of meningiomas with advanced MR parameters.Method: We assessed the advanced MR imaging characteristics of 27 histopathologically confirmed meningiomas on a 3T MRI, of which 23 were grade I meningiomas (2 fibroblastic, 9 meningothelial, 9 transitional, 3 unspecified) and 4 were grade II/III meningiomas (2 atypical, 1 papillary, 1 anaplastic). Analysis of the ADC, FA, λ1, λ2, λ3 and mean diffusivity was performed using standard post-processing software.Results: The mean size of atypical meningiomas (5.9 cm ± 0.7 cm) was significantly higher (p = 0.038, 95% confidence interval [CI]) than that of typical meningiomas (4.6 cm ± 1.6 cm) with a cut-off value of 6.05 cm (75% sensitivity and 87% specificity). The mean cerebral blood flow (CBF) (ASL) of atypical meningiomas (286.70 ± 8.06) was significantly higher (p = 0.0000141, 95% CI) than that of typical meningiomas (161.09 ± 87.04) with a cut-off value of 276.75 (66.7% sensitivity and 75% specificity). Among the typical meningiomas, transitional subtypes had the lowest ADC. High FA and planar coefficient (CP) values and low λ3 and spherical coefficient (CS) values were seen in fibroblastic meningiomas. Fibroblastic meningiomas also showed the lowest vascularity among typical meningiomas.Conclusion: Tumour size and ASL perfusion are two parameters that could differentiate between typical and atypical meningiomas while ADC, FA, λ3, CP, CS, rCBF and rCBV may be helpful in distinguishing different subtypes of typical meningiomas.

Published: November 2022

Background: Haemorrhages in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients require proper knowledge and management.Objectives: To highlight the characteristics of haemorrhages in patients with COVID-19 infection.Method: A retrospective study examined CT scans performed over a 13-month period in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 infection to determine those who developed spontaneous bleeding. The authors also investigated correlations between the bleeding events and the patients’ characteristics.Results: Haemorrhages occurred in 2.22% (31/1396) of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 infection (7.88%, 19/241 in the intensive care unit). Bleeding, major in most cases, occurred in anticoagulated patients, especially males with multiple comorbidities, aged between 60 and 79 years and mainly appeared in a single anatomical region (especially retroperitoneal), with the most voluminous in the chest wall. The complication was diagnosed on average 16.7 days after admission and occurred predominantly in critically ill patients undergoing invasive ventilation and pronation-supination cycles. In just under half of the cases, the haematomas were active, and in these cases, mainly with a single contrast blush and with earlier onset after the start of anticoagulation than in non-active bleeding. Major bleeding was also earlier in the presence of multiple morbidity. The vast majority of patients were treated conservatively and survived.Conclusion: At COVID-19 hospital centres, it is advisable that there is knowledge of such a complication for which CT imaging is essential for diagnosis and proper management. Although some authors have expressed doubts about anticoagulant treatment in patients with COVID-19, the bleeding complication in this study did not significantly affect the outcome.Contribution: Spontaneous haemorrhage did not significantly affect the outcome in this series.
University students’ perspectives on an English-only language policy in Higher Education
Authors: Ngidi Sizakele A. , Mncwango Elliot M.
Published: November 2022

The study aimed to determine students’ perspectives on a shift from a dual-medium (English and Afrikaans) language policy to a monolingual (English-only) language policy at a University of Technology in South Africa and to establish whether the shift had any impact on student learning at the institution. The study used a quantitative method of inquiry, with a questionnaire used for data collection. The findings revealed that language-related challenges vary amongst students, and these can be categorised as low, medium and high language learning problems. The article concludes that the language policy shift does not reflect the multilingual nature of the c ountry, student demographics or their language needs at the institution. Instead of addressing the real challenge facing the majority of students who speak Sesotho, it merely dropped a second medium of instruction (MOI), Afrikaans, instead of developing a dominant indigenous language (Sesotho) for educational use alongside English and Afrikaans.Transdisciplinarity Contribution: The article lays bare the access paradox in higher education owing to the misalignment between the country’s progressive language policies and learning institutions’ language policies. The students’ perspectives bring a much-needed dimension to the ongoing debate on the use of the learners’ home languages as languages of learning and teaching.

Published: November 2022

Objective:

To assess the self-esteem and quality of life (QOL) in patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) who were undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted on a total sample of 300 individuals consisted of 150 patients with UCLP (Group I) and 150 normal controls (Group II) with an age range of 10–25 years, who were undergoing comprehensive orthodontic treatment from December 2016 to December 2018. The Self Esteem and QOL were assessed using the Rosenberg Self Esteem scale (RSE) and Modified Paediatric QOL Inventory Scale (M-PQOL), respectively, in Group I and II.

Results:

The comparison of overall mean scores of responses to RSE questionnaires showed nonsignificant differences for all the responses and was significant only for RSE 6 and RSE 8 in the age group of 10–15 years and 21–25 years, respectively, and nonsignificant for all other questions in all the age groups. The comparison of overall mean scores of M-PQOL for the total sample showed nonsignificant differences in Group I and II for physical functioning, emotional functioning, and school functioning domain, and were highly significant differences (P ≤ 0.001) in the social functioning domain and M-PQOL 12 and M-PQOL 21.

Conclusions:

This study demands a definite need of a psychologist/psychiatrist among the cleft care team to counsel the patients with cleft during orthodontic treatment for motivating them to gain self-respect and acceptance in the society as certain aspects, particularly social functioning domain made them feel different from normal children because of the functional and aesthetic problems.

Aim:

This study aimed to determine the clinical effectiveness of android mobile digital application shade matching on tooth shade reproduction.

Setting and Design:

This was a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial (REF/2021/03/042258).

Materials and Methods:

Thirty participants were selected from the two dental centers. The participant who required full-coverage restorations in one of the central incisors with adjacent central incisor untouched was the main inclusion criteria. Three metal–ceramic or all-ceramic crowns were fabricated with reference shades from Vita Three-Dimensional (3D) Master shade guide, Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer, and mobile application for each participant. ΔE values between reference maxillary central incisor and metal–ceramic and all-ceramic crowns were measured for each participant. In addition, two operators and participants observed the clinical agreement between for each crown on a visual analog scale.

Statistical Analysis Used:

ANOVA statistics and Turkey’s post hoc test were used for ΔE value. Kappa statistics was used for clinical agreement.

Results:

Mean ΔE value of fabricated metal–ceramic and all-ceramic crowns and reference maxillary central incisor of Vita 3D Master shade guide was significantly higher than Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer and mobile digital application (P = 0.004). However, ΔE values of Vita Easyshade and mobile digital application were contiguous. However, ΔE value of Vita 3D Master was lower than clinically acceptable value of intraoral color difference. Kappa value figured moderate agreement for Vita Easyshade and mobile digital application and slight to no agreement for Vita 3D Master.

Conclusion:

Within the limitations of the study, the Android mobile digital application can turn up as a reliable method for shade selection.

Published: November 2022

Background:

The aim of the study was to evaluate the remineralizing potential of prepared solutions of eggshell powder (ESP) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) on the surface roughness and microhardness of bleached enamel.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty bovine anterior teeth were selected and cleaned then bleached using a chemically activated in-office bleaching agent then the teeth were randomly allocated into five groups (n = 10) according to the tested remineralizing agents (10% ESP solution, 10% nHA solution, and MI Paste Plus) into; control, bleached, bleached + ESP solution, bleached + nHA solution, and bleached + MI Paste Plus groups. Then, the teeth were tested for surface roughness and microhardness of the bleached enamel, respectively.

Results:

There was a statistically significant difference in the surface roughness and microhardness values of the tested groups. The highest surface roughness mean value was found in bleached enamel group, while the least mean value was found in the control group. The highest mean microhardness value was found in the bleached enamel + ESP solution group, while the least mean value was found in the bleached enamel group.

Conclusions:

The application of the tested remineralizing agents following the bleaching procedure had improved the surface roughness and microhardness of the bleached enamel. ESP and nHA present promising and potent remineralizing agents.
Laser Indicated Occlusal Plane Device: A Novel Technique for Occlusal Plane Orientation
Authors: Natarajan Keerthika , Krishnan Murugesan , Srinivasan Suganya , Venkat Gowtham , Balasubramanian Muthukumar
Published: November 2022

Parallelism to the ala-tragus line is commonly used as a guide for the orientation of the occlusal plane with the help of a fox plane. The accuracy of parallelism is affected by improper judgment or patient movement. This report describes a method with a modified fox plane that aids in occlusal plane determination. The device is placed in the patient’s mouth with the maxillary occlusal rim to determine parallelism to the ala-tragus line and interpupillary line. The adjustments are made until the laser light on the device runs parallel to the ala-tragus line, and the spirit bubble is centered between the lines of the tube. This technique facilitates direct visualization of parallelism, thereby avoiding parallax errors.
The boundary of linear subvarieties
Authors: Benirschke Frederik
Published: November 2022

We describe the boundary of linear subvarieties in the moduli space of multi-scale differentials. Linear subvarieties are algebraic subvarieties of strata of (possibly) meromorphic differentials that in local period coordinates are given by linear equations. The main example of such are affine invariant submanifolds, that is, closures of

\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})

-orbits. We prove that the boundary of any linear subvariety is again given by linear equations in
generalized period coordinates
of the boundary. Our main technical tool is an asymptotic analysis of periods near the boundary of the moduli space of multi-scale differentials which yields further techniques and results of independent interest.
Disproving Hooley’s conjecture
Authors: Fiorilli Daniel , Martin Greg
Published: November 2022

Define

G(x;q)

to be the variance of primes

p\le x

in the arithmetic progressions modulo

q

, weighted by

\log p

. In analogy with his

q

-analogue of Selberg's upper bound on the variance of primes in intervals, Hooley conjectured that as soon as

q

tends to infinity and

x\ge q

, we have the upper bound

G(x;q) \ll x \log q

. This conjecture was proven true over function fields by Keating and Rudnick, using equidistribution results of Katz. In this paper we show that the upper bound does not hold in general, and that

G(x;q)

can be much larger than

x\log q

for values of

q

which are

\asymp \log\log x

. This implies that a conjecture of the first author on the range of validity of Hooley's conjecture is essentially best possible.
Perverse Sheaves over Real Hyperplane Arrangements II

and

\operatorname{Perv}(\mathbb{C}Cn,\mathcal{H})

be the category of perverse sheaves on

\mathbb{C}^n

smooth with respect to the stratification given by complexified flats of

. We give a description of

\operatorname{Perv}(\mathbb{C}^n, \mathcal{H})

in terms of “matrix diagrams”, i.e., diagrams formed by vector spaces

E_{A,B}

labeled by pairs

(A,B)

of real faces of

\mathcal{H}

(of all dimensions) or, equivalently, by the cells

iA+B

of a natural cell decomposition of

\mathbb{C}

Feminist Approach to the Theology of Sin and Forgiveness in Intimate Partner Violence Within Marriage in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa
Authors: Makhanya Bishop Monument Thulani Bongani
Published: November 2022

Intimate partner violence is a scourge that cripples’ families and society at large. The
consequences of IPV are observed on emotional, physical, sexual, spiritual, social, and
financial levels. Unfortunately, victimized women who are Church going may be forced to believe that their abuse is God's will. This arises in certain Christian homes where the
Ephesians letter of Paul is utilized to force females to submit to their husbands as if they were submissive to the Lord. Here, only husbands’ views and practices relating to spiritual, financial, social, and sexual aspects are considered genuine and inspired by God. This paper aimed to explore a feminist approach to the theology of sin and forgiveness in intimate partner violence within marriage in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa. To achieve this purpose this paper looked at how a feminist approach can offer a new perspective to the Anglican Church of Southern Africa’s understanding of the theology of sin and forgiveness in intimate partner violence. This paper concludes that the understanding of sin and forgiveness in Christian Churches as well as in the Anglican Church of Southern Africa leaves no option for those who find themselves as victims of intimate partner violence within marriage. Whilst forgiving is noble and is what all Christians should conform to, victims should be given a chance to combine forgiveness with ethical accountability. This paper utilized secondary data and
feminist analysis as a methodology. This paper has four proposals for the Anglican Church of Southern Africa which will see intimate partner violence being mitigated among the Church’s members.

A região do Alto Rio Pardo, situada em Minas Gerais, é caracterizada pela grande prática da atividade agropecuária. Assim como a bovinocultura, a agricultura se faz presente como ferramenta de subsistência das populações de tal região. No entanto, nem sempre o solo desta região está apto à atividade agrícola. O uso de biofertilizantes s coloca-se como uma excelente alternativa como adubo orgânico, tais produtos são líquidos que possuem nutrientes considerados essenciais para o desenvolvimento das plantas. Desta forma, o presente estudo tem como objetivo principal, avaliar a quantidade de nitrogênio e de fósforo presentes no biofertilizante, através de análise química. O fósforo foi quantificado pela medida da absorbância no espectrofotômetro a 660 nm e a análise de nitrogênio foi realizada pelo método de Kjeldahl. O biofertilizante utilizado foi coletado de um biodigestor construído nas dependências do IFNMG campus Salinas e as análises supracitadas também foram feitas na instituição. Nas primeiras análises químicas, no biofertilizante foram encontrados 14,68 g.L-1 de fósforo e 6,06 g.L-1 de nitrogênio, determinando assim, em comparação com a literatura, uma alta capacidade nutricional apresentando um elevado teor de nitrogênio e fósforo.
A importância das disciplinas didático-pedagógicas na formação do professor em química
Authors: Cardoso Lima Fábio , Soares da Silva. Jaciely
Published: November 2022

A formação docente no Brasil experimentou diferentes mudanças, sendo que, muitas delas, estavam associadas a contextos específicos e concepções sobre Educação. Dentre as mudanças ocorridas destacamos a proposta de remodelação da estrutura curricular das Licenciaturas, as quais propôs romper com o modelo que ficou conhecido no sistema de ensino como 3+1 que priorizava uma formação organizacional não pautada em um diálogo entre o conteúdo das disciplinas específicas e as pedagógicas. Conhecedor desse processo histórico que permeia os cursos de Licenciaturas no Brasil, o presente artigo pretende a apresentar os resultados da pesquisa de Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso, o qual propôs problematizar o percurso formativo dos discentes no Curso de Licenciatura em Química do Instituto Federal do Norte de Minas Gerais – Campus Salinas e como os tais percebem essas disciplinas em sua formação. Na busca de responder as perguntas levantadas, a pesquisa se pautou no uso de questionários para a coleta do material empírico, e os sujeitos selecionados foram os docentes do Curso de Química (área específica e pedagógica), e, discentes do 5º e 7º período do curso.  A metodologia adotada se pautou em uma abordagem qualitativa e foi desenvolvida através de uma pesquisa exploratória. Os dados foram selecionados por categorias para realizar uma análise de conteúdo em diálogo com a teoria citada. E como resultado foi possível perceber que no curso de Licenciatura do IFNMG/Salinas, há por parte dos discentes, certa desvalorização ao cursarem as disciplinas didático-pedagógica, pois os mesmos veem tais disciplinas como mais fáceis e menos necessário a formação. Já os docentes, apresentaram, que percebem as disciplinas didático-pedagógicas importantes, mas que não há diálogo entre as áreas devido à falta de articulação, o que vem gerado, com isso, uma dicotomia entre as áreas de formação.

MAPPING THE BRAIN AND THE BODY: THE EXAMPLE OF GREEK AESTHETE NIKOLAOS EPISKOPOPOULOS
Authors: Mavroeidi Eleni
Published: November 2022

This article concentrates on the neurological condition of epilepsy in the short story “Mavra” by Greek author Nikolaos Episkopopoulos. An attempt is made to see the condition via the lens of social preconceptions, those who support degeneration, as well as neurological beliefs, through the identification and analysis of the themes that make up the protagonists’ epileptic identities. The reflection of the scientific atmosphere of the 19th century in fin-de-siècle literature is visible through the methodological prism of cognitive literary historicism. The socio-cultural makeup of the epileptic self eventually seems to be captured by the narrator’s body. The narrator’s brain functions are examined using introjection, visual perception, and the most recent finding of mirror neurons, indicating the particular and subjective experience of the illness.

During high waves of SARS Covid-19 and post-covid period there is increase in respiratory tract diseases in population. It was noted that Ayurvedic management was having encouraging results with comparative cure rate higher and with lesser complications. ‘Tambula Patra (Betel leaf) along with Bhimseni Karpura’ (Camphor) is one of the commonest combination drug of choice used especially in Kapha dominant Kasa by Vruddha Vaidyas from a long period of time. The preparation was named as “NagaSphatika” based on combination of basonym and synomym of components. It was made using Banarasi Tambula leaf’s Swarasa with Bhimseni Karpura as a Prakshepa (additive) in liquid form dispensable medicine for Kaphaja Kasa. Single arm Clinical study was undertaken to evaluate its efficacy in Kaphaja Kasa in 52 patients. NagaSphatika was significantly effective in the management of Kaphaja Kasa. The disease involves Kapha and Vata dosha dushti predominantly. Tambula due to its Katu, Tikta, Kashaya rasa, Ushna Virya, Katu Vipaka, Laghu, Ruksha, Tikshna and Vishada guna pacified Kapha Dosha leading to removal of Avarodh in the Srotas bringing Prakruta gati to Vata Dosha and also ignites Agni which further digests the Ama or Dushta Rasa Dhatu. Bhimseni Karpura having Tikta, Katu Rasa, Madhura Rasa and Katu Vipaka, Laghu, Tikshna Guna alleviates Kapha Dosha by its Lekhan Karma occurring in Kantha and Urah. NagaSphatika had significant effects on signs and symptoms of Kaphaja Kasa, hence is effective in its management

Review of Impact of Dooshi Visha on Female Infertility
Authors: S Anaghashree , H Chaitra
Published: November 2022

Dooshi visha is a unique concept mentioned in Ayurveda, which has the potential to accumulate in various bodily tissues depending on their affinity and harm the body, by causing chronic illness. Present day exposure to various harmful chemicals can be considered as dooshi visha as they get accumulated in bodily tissues leading to cumulative toxicity causing chronic illnesses, instead of causing death immediately. Chemicals acting over the female reproductive system at different doses of exposure, and concept of dooshi visha was studied thoroughly. Chemicals having their affinity towards female reproductive system was found to cause significant harmful effects like infertility when exposed above permissible limit for longer durations, hence it can be considered as dooshi vishas. Incidences of chemical exposure and female infertility is increasing proportionally. Present day female reproductive problems viewed in the perspective of dooshi visha and treating accordingly may subside the present days female reproductive problems. Hence, present paper focuses on impact of dooshi visha on female fertility.
