Background: Distomolars are supernumerary teeth erupting distal to the maxillary or mandibular third molars. This present study explored the clinical significance of distomolars in a Nigerian population.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence, clinical significance, and pathologies associated with distomolars in a population of Northern Nigerian adults using dental pantomograms.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Oral Diagnostic Sciences, Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano State, Nigeria, and it included the extraction of images from the central computer attached to the Planmeca Promax machine. The sampling frame included patients who had dental pantomograms during the two-year period under review. The images were viewed on Planmeca Romexis 4.3.0 R software to identify relevant study variables.
Results: Of 4,932 pantomograms reviewed, 107 distomolars were identified. The prevalence of distomolars was 2.17%. The mean age of subjects with a distomolars was 36.25 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.6. Majority of the distomolars were identified in the maxilla (60.75%) and had typical forms (67.3%) and 72.9% of them were seen unerupted.
Conclusion: Distomolars occurred more frequently in females in the Nigerian population, commoner in the maxilla, and were predominantly unerupted and smaller in size than the normal adjacent teeth.

Published: October 2024

Religion being a tool that appeals to both the physical and the spiritual aspect of man's life, and as such it is a very strong tool that can be used to change the perception of an individual, especially when one is under the ideology of religion itself. Nigerians believe more in religion than in what they do. However, it is absolutely not without doubt that religion can be used in divers’ ways to facilitate and perpetuate evil. Based on these the study employed the empirical secondary data through published and unpublished works. The paper concluded that religious conflicts or crises arising largely from mistrust, mutual suspicion and intolerance, which resulted from inability to tolerate others who are not of same faith. It also recommended that there is need for effective communication to foster understanding among the various religious groups in Nigeria. The Priest and teachers of the word of God are to be knowledgeable on communication skills as to avoid misconception and mis-presentation of religious information.

Published: October 2024

This study explored body composition differences among elite Serbian judokas across three weight categories: lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight. Thirty-two male judokas from Serbia’s national team participated, with body composition metrics assessed using the Segmental Body Composition Analyzer InBody 720. Parameters measured included lean body mass percentage, skeletal muscle mass percentage, body fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio, visceral fat area, bone mineral content, lean body mass index, and fat mass index. Heavyweights exhibited significantly lower lean body and skeletal muscle mass percentages than lightweights and middleweights (p < 0.001). Additionally, heavyweights had significantly higher body fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio, and visceral fat area (p < 0.001). Bone mineral content was significantly higher in heavyweights compared to lightweights and middleweights (p < 0.001) and also differed significantly between lightweights and middleweights (p < 0.01). Lean body and fat mass index were significantly higher in heavyweights than lighter categories (p < 0.001). These findings highlight the importance of tailored training and nutritional strategies to optimize body composition for enhanced performance and health outcomes in judo. Effective weight management, focusing on reducing fat while maintaining muscle mass, is critical, particularly for heavyweight athletes. The study's methodology and representativeness align with international standards, supporting the
applicability of findings to broader populations. Future research should include larger, more diverse samples and longitudinal designs to understand body composition dynamics over time and incorporate performance metrics for a holistic view of success factors in judo. Implementing these strategies will enhance athletic performance and promote long-term health and well-being among judokas.
THE POSSIBILITY OF PREDICTING JUMP HEIGHT BASED ON THE ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE STRENGTH OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES
Authors: Tabaković Adis , Tabaković Muhamed
Published: October 2024

The aim of the research was to determine the possibility of predicting vertical jump height based on absolute and relative lower extremity strength. Thirty healthy and physically active male students (age: 20.84 ± 0.99 years; height: 179.46 ± 5.91 cm; body weight: 73.88 ± 6.43 kg) from the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education participated in this study. Absolute lower extremity strength was assessed using the one-repetition maximum (1RM) back squat, expressed in kilograms. Relative lower extremity strength was calculated by dividing the estimated 1RM back squat by the participants’ body weight, yielding the 1RM back squat relative to body weight (BW) (1RM/BW). Vertical jump height was measured using an Optojump system with two types of jumps: countermovement jumps (CMJ) and squat jumps (SJ). Statistically significant and moderately high correlations were observed between absolute and relative lower extremity strength variables and vertical jump height variables. Regression analysis results indicated statistically significant multiple correlations of 1RM absolute strength and 1RM/BW relative lower extremity strength as predictors of CMJ and SJ vertical jump height criteria variables. There is limited research on this topic conducted specifically on student populations, making this study a valuable foundation for future research. The research findings can serve as guidelines for the development of absolute and relative lower extremity strength, thereby contributing to improved vertical jump performance.

Ethnic Violence Against Japanese Migrants In California
Authors: Syawali Noorasani , Ong Susy , Rustam Muhammad Reza
Published: October 2024

This article discussed the persistence of ethnic conflicts around the world, evolving from post-World War II national disputes to internal conflicts driven by ethnic and intergroup tensions. These problems impeded democratization and remained crucial to the development of societies and national identities. Ethnic violence was an example of political violence rooted in ethnic hatred. Countries such as the United States, with its racially and ethnically diverse population, faced significant challenges of ethnic discrimination against Japanese immigrants. Japanese immigration to the United States, especially in California, which began in the mid-1880s, was driven by labor shortages following the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and later by economic difficulties in Japan. United States immigration policies, especially the Acts of 1917 and 1924, imposed restrictions on Asian immigrants, which impacted Japanese immigration. This study, using qualitative research with a descriptive overview through the densho.org portal, aimed to analyze Japanese ethnic violence in California. Racism and economic competition fueled anti-Japanese violence. Anti-Japanese sentiment increased, especially after the attack on Pearl Harbor, which led to the mass internment of Japan-American.

Published: October 2024

Indonesia has become one of the top priorities for global terrorist groups. The criminal act of terrorism that occurred in Indonesia is a severe crime and endangers state ideology, state security, state sovereignty, human values ​​, and various aspects of social life. To improve law enforcement against the involvement of Indonesian citizens in global terrorist organizations, cooperation between multiple institutions and related stakeholders is very important. This research aims to determine the obstacles law enforcement faces regarding global terrorist organizations. This research uses normative research methods and primary, secondary, and tertiary legal material sources. Law enforcement related to global terrorist organizations faces several complex obstacles. The complexity of terrorist networks makes it challenging to identify members and collect sufficient evidence. The use of digital technology and covert communications by terrorist organizations makes monitoring and gathering evidence difficult. Jurisdictional limitations and barriers to international cooperation hinder the exchange of information and the extradition of terrorist perpetrators. To overcome these obstacles, inter-agency cooperation, increased technical capacity, effective exchange of information, and strong international cooperation are key factors in law enforcement efforts against global terrorist organizations.

Objective: This study evaluated muscle ultrasound in spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients receiving biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b-DMARDs) early in treatment.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted with 110 b-DMARD-naive SpA patients. The baseline and control muscle strength, physical performance tests, ultrasonographic muscle parameters, and disease activity scores of 67 controlled patients were examined.
Results: During the follow-up period, there were significant improvements in the thickness of the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle (p<0.001), the length of the GM fascicle (p=0.031), the thickness of the rectus femoris (RF) muscle (p<0.001), the cross-sectional area of the RF (RFCSA) muscle (p<0.001), the thickness of the rectus abdominis (RA) muscle (p<0.001), the thickness of the transverse abdominis (TA) muscle (p=0.004), and the thickness of the external oblique (EO) muscle (p=0.042). Besides, ASDAS-CRP scores were related to GM muscle thickness, RFCSA, and TA muscle thickness percent changes in patients whose disease activity regressed from high to moderate (respectively; p=0.030, p=0.040, p=0.002).
Conclusion: Muscle ultrasound examination can show muscle mass improvement in SpA patients during treatment.

Authors: Albalawi Sami M , Sohaly MA , Fares ME
Published: October 2024

This paper seeks to derive solitary wave solutions for the nonlinear Klein- Gordon equation, using the tanh-coth method. These solutions are crucial to field theory, relativistic quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, and elementary particles. The proposed approach is simple to use and produces generalized solitonic wave properties. This work helps to a better understanding of kink and anti-kink solo behavior in applied research. 2D and 3D graphs are presented to demonstrate the behavior of the found solutions for suitable free parameter values. Finally, the suggested technique may be expanded to include a variety of equations that are developing in new physics and applied science.
Camptothecin and its Analogues as Putative Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy - Biophysical Simulations of Wild Type and C481S Mutation
Authors: Issahaku Abdul Rashid , Soliman Mahmoud
Published: October 2024

Camptothecin (CPT) and its derivatives are extracted from the Chinese tree Camptotheca acuminata and have been long known for their significant antitumor activity. The widely reported primary mechanism of their anti-cancer activity is through inhibition of topoisomerase I (Topo I), a key anticancer target. However, there is a lack of research on other possible mechanisms of action of CPT and its analogues (CPT/analogues). In this report, we investigated the potential inhibitory mechanism of CPT/derivatives against Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) ‒ a crucial protein for regulating various cellular functions and is essential for B-cell growth and cyclical division. The binding mechanism of CPT and its analogues (Irinotecan, Diflomotecan, and Topotecan) against BTK was investigated using molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations and thermodynamic binding free energy calculations. NRX-0492, a potent orally active degrader of both wild-type and mutant BTK, was used as a reference/control inhibitor. We also included a set of active binders (actives) and non-binders (inactives) to distinguish between effective binders and false positives to ensure the validity of our results. Binding affinity analysis suggested that CPT and its analogues could potentially bind to BTK comparably to NRX-0492. The studied compounds demonstrated stable binding with the protein throughout the simulation time via hydrogen bonds, π-π interactions, van der Waals forces and π-sulfur interactions. Irinotecan exhibited a binding affinity of ΔGbinding = –42.4±5.3 kcal/mol, closely matching that of NRX-0492 (ΔGbinding = –48.8±3.4 kcal/mol). Furthermore, the activity of CPT/derivatives was examined against the C481S mutant. Although the activity was slightly decreased due to the mutation, the compounds retained a promising binding affinity when compared to the results of NRX-0492. The findings of this study provide foundation for future experimental investigation of unexplored potential anti-cancer mechanism of CPT/derivatives and offer a new perspective on repurposing of natural products in cancer therapy.

Le rôle de la mémoire de travail dans l’acquisition incidente du vocabulaire en langue seconde durant la compréhension orale chez les enfants : une revue de littérature
Authors: Despoini Georgia
Published: October 2024

Developing vocabulary to understand oral and written language in first language (L1) and second language (L2) is a major challenge for both adults and young learners. The learning of words also depends on the working memory (WM), which is central to human cognition and language learning; several studies have established its important role in learning L1 (Gathercole & Baddeley, 1989, 1990) and, even more so, in L2 (Baddeley & al., 1998; Gathercole & al., 1999; Service & Kohonen, 1995). Despite previous studies on the role of WM in the incidental acquisition of second language vocabulary during listening comprehension, the need for clarification on this role, especially in children, remains to be explored. The aim of this article is to present a synthesis of the literature on the role of WM in the incidental acquisition of second language vocabulary during listening comprehension in children to highlight this need for the necessary clarifications.
Un enseignement biblique avec les arts plastiques en milieu catholique
Authors: Savoie Philippe
Published: October 2024

This research in practical theology examines the impact of biblical teaching offered since 1998 to youth aged 5 to 14 using artwork to create a personal Bible. Volunteers initiated this activity in a Catholic church in Quebec City in response to the deconfessionalization of schools, hoping to offer a biblical culture to young people. The research method includes a detailed description of this “religious practice” with data collection, a critical correlation with the Bible and Church Tradition, and a reinvestment of the practice. During the period 2005-2022, the practice called “Bible illustrée” (Illustrated Bible) reached 144 youth, mostly from Quebec but also from African and Latin American immigrant communities. In 2022, 26 people completed a questionnaire on their motivation to participate, artistic creativity, and contemporary Christian witness. A critical correlation showed that Illustrated Bible is an activity that allows participants to reflect on relationships with others, God and existence, a reflection often taboo in a secular society. The all-volunteer support has contributed to the sustainability of a joyful, reflective, and creative community. The concept of Illustrated Bible could be integrated into other places (parishes, camps, etc.) and would benefit from a future guidebook for its dissemination.
L' économie des populations paléohistoriques de l’Anse à Henry à Saint-Pierre et Miquelon révélée par l’analyse fonctionnelle des outils en pierre taillée : un exemple de diversité des pratiques ancestrales autochtones
Authors: St-Pierre Éloïse
Published: October 2024

The archaeological site of Anse à Henry, located in the French archipelago of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon was occasionally occupied by Pre-Inuit and Recent Tradition populations for more than 5 000 years. Archaeologists suggest that the site was used for the exploitation of its marine resources. Indeed, its geographic location would have been favorable for hunting marine mammals and fishing. However, this hypothesis could not be verified or confirmed since no zooarchaeological data were collected.
A use-wear analysis was therefore carried out to study the Pre-Inuit and Recent Tradition lithic tools and identify the activities for which they were used. The project’s goal was to establish the economic profile of the communities, considering the duration of the occupation and the cultural distinctions on the site.
The results show that Pre-Inuit and Recent Tradition populations acquired similar resources but exploited them in different ways. These distinctions suggest that the economic system of each group was regulated by subsistence strategies specific to them, despite sharing similar environmental conditions. This research demonstrates the diversity and complexity of native ancestral practices.
Récits de vie d’adolescentes en conflit avec la loi à Dakar (Sénégal) : entre défis et ajustements méthodologiques, quelle réflexivité ?

Published: October 2024

This article addresses the methodological aspects of my doctoral research on the life course of adolescent girls in conflict with the law and their « delinquent » and judicial experience in the face of social control in the Senegalese context. The inherent challenges and adjustments of any ethnographically inspired qualitative research are examined in relation to the context of the study environment and the adopted posture. In accordance with the requirements of an ethnographic orientation, reflexivity during the immersion and distancing phases of the fieldwork made it possible to ensure a methodological critical feedback on these challenges and adjustments. Moreover, the analyses show that they are strongly linked to ethical considerations. To this end, recommendations are made in particular to research ethics boards.

This research explores the life and contributions of Āyatûllāḥ Mûrtazā Mûtaḥḥārī, a pivotal figure in Iran's history and Islamic thought. As a distinguished cleric and philosopher, Mûtaḥḥārī, a key associate of Āyatûllāḥ Rūhûllāḥ Kḥomeīnī, played a crucial role in the intellectual renaissance that paved the way for the Islamic Revolution of 1979. By adeptly blending traditional Islamic teachings with contemporary philosophy, he significantly shaped Iran's sociopolitical landscape during this transformative period. This research provides a comprehensive biographical sketch of Mûtaḥḥārī, detailing his early life, education, and critical influences. It emphasizes his dynamic teaching career at the University of Tehran and explores the intellectual currents that informed his philosophical and theological contributions. Mûtaḥḥārī's innovative approach to reconciling Islam with modernity, integrating faith and reason, and critiquing Marxism is thoroughly examined, showcasing his impact on the intersection of religious and contemporary thought. Additionally, the research delves into Mûtaḥḥārī's political and social ideologies, particularly his role in the Islamic revolution, perspectives on Islamic democracy, and critique of materialistic ideologies. It highlights his enduring influence on post-revolutionary Iran, especially in shaping educational and political systems. In conclusion, Mûtaḥḥārī's legacy emerges as a guiding light in contemporary Islamic philosophy and Iranian society, fostering ongoing discussions about the role of religion in the modern world and inspiring scholars globally in the evolving dialogue between Islam and the complexities of the modern era.
Intense management of sinking secondary schools to convert them into moving education institutions
Authors: Ngwako Solomon Modiba
Published: October 2024

This paper examines what it takes to emerge with a caring and moving education institution from the initially sinking one whose scholar results were deplorably low from the perspectives of teachers serving in the School Governing Body (SGB) and the Representative Council of Learners (RCL). This study has been motivated by a variety of discourses on scholar performance, the majority of which are centred on the perspectives of external education stakeholders other than teachers and learners serving on a secondary school's governing council. The paper is conceptual and empirical in nature while following the qualitative research paradigm. The question guiding this paper is: how long does it take a sinking secondary school to be turned around into a caring and a moving secondary school? Narrative enquiry and interviewing techniques were employed to generate data. Six secondary schools from one of the circuits in Waterberg region, Limpopo Province, South Africa, were conveniently sampled for this study. Only members of the School Governing Body's teacher components and chairpersons of the Representative Council of Learners (RCL) from each of the six sampled secondary schools participated in the study. Findings revealed that firstly, caring and moving schools do not batter trust with stakeholders. Secondly, caring and moving schools experience minimal derelict of teaching duties by educators. Thirdly, caring and moving schools witness less of derelict of learning responsibility by scholars. Fourthly, there is subjugation of the culture of laziness in caring and moving secondary schools. Fifthly, a policy of remedial lessons for struggling scholars, is upheld in caring and moving schools.  Lastly, caring and moving schools experience less of gaping leadership void in their ranks. The researcher recommends for sinking secondary schools to share warm disposition and be friendly with everyone to successfully become caring and moving secondary schools.
Decentering Whiteness in Teacher Education Through A Creative Self Study of Womanist Caring Pedagogy
Authors:   , Ammon Jane
Published: October 2024

eacher education faculty in higher education continues to mirror K–12 schools, continuing to be comprised of predominately White women, thus creating a what is known as a cultural gap for teacher education students from marginalized populations in colleges. This culture gap, created by modeling Whiteness as the expected and accepted norm, is often painfully evident to students of color though invisible to White teachers who do not seek to change the current systematic racism prevalent in many teacher education programs. The understanding of self through the critical Whiteness lens is in the movement of the second wave of critical Whiteness studies which seeks to unpack how Whiteness is experienced by Whites. This second wave of critical Whiteness studies needs to be an effort which promotes an understanding of how Whiteness perpetuates everyday life and the teaching profession (Barnes, 2017). Using a self-study informed by narrative inquiry methodology, by embracing dialogical voice as a qualitative method, undergirded by Black feminist theory and womanist pedagogy, this research explored how student voices can shift the Whiteness lens of a White womanist or othermother teacher educator at a Hispanic-serving community college. This self-study narrative inquiry demonstrates a model of reflective practice for White, female teacher educators, to further conversations and pedagogies of love as an action, such as womanist pedagogy, in antiracist and anti-oppressionist teacher education programs.
