Authors: Quratul Ain  , Rabia Imtiaz
Published: February 2025

Background: The integration of technology in speech-language therapy has expanded globally, offering new approaches such as mobile applications, teletherapy platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools. However, in resource-limited settings like Pakistan, adoption remains inconsistent due to infrastructural, financial, and training constraints. Objective: To assess the perceptions, effectiveness, and challenges of using technology in speech-language therapy among speech-language pathologists (SLPs), clients, and researchers at Chughtai Medical Center, Lahore, Pakistan. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted over six weeks using an online questionnaire distributed to 178 participants. The survey assessed demographics, technology usage, perceived effectiveness (Likert scale 1–5), barriers, and future perspectives. Quantitative data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25, applying descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and t-tests to determine associations (p < 0.05 considered significant). Results: Technology usage was reported by 50% (n = 89) of participants, with 40% (n = 71) using mobile apps, 30% (n = 53) using teletherapy, and 10% (n = 17) utilizing AI tools. Perceived effectiveness for language development was rated 3.5/5, client engagement 3.2/5, and teletherapy 3.0/5. Major barriers included technical issues (60%, n = 107), lack of training (50%, n = 89), and cost (40%, n = 71). AI effectiveness was significantly lower than traditional technology (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Despite moderate effectiveness, technology adoption in speech-language therapy is limited by infrastructural and financial challenges. Policy-driven solutions, training programs, and improved accessibility are essential for optimizing digital interventions.

Authors: Umar Farooq
Published: February 2025

Background: Telemedicine has emerged as a transformative approach to healthcare delivery, addressing geographical and logistical barriers. Its effectiveness in improving access, patient satisfaction, and appointment adherence requires comprehensive evaluation, especially in the context of digital disparities and socioeconomic challenges. Objective: This narrative review aims to assess the impact of telemedicine on healthcare access, patient satisfaction, and appointment compliance while identifying challenges and areas for improvement. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, covering studies from 2015 to 2024. Keywords included "telemedicine," "patient satisfaction," "appointment adherence," and "healthcare access." Studies were screened for relevance, and quantitative findings were extracted. Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed articles reporting patient outcomes, adherence rates, and accessibility improvements. Results: Telemedicine reduced waiting times by 30–50% and improved appointment adherence by 20–40%. Patient satisfaction rates ranged from 70% to 95%, with comparable diagnostic accuracy to in-person visits. However, digital literacy barriers affected 15–25% of patients, and technological limitations hindered access in 10–30% of low-income populations. Cost-saving analyses were limited but indicated a reduction in travel expenses by 25–60%. Conclusion: Telemedicine significantly enhances healthcare access and patient satisfaction while improving appointment adherence. However, digital disparities and socioeconomic barriers must be addressed through hybrid models and inclusive policy frameworks to ensure equitable and sustainable telehealth expansion.

Teacher education issues are the fundamental concerns underlying critical pedagogy studies in Indonesia. Numerous issues have emerged, becoming topics of public discourse. These issues have arisen because teachers’ competencies are not being realized even after they have undergone teacher education. Among the issues are a teacher’s motivation to teach, the ability of teachers to enhance the quality of education through the improvisation of the hidden curriculum, and the demand for critical thinking among students. This study was conducted using qualitative methods with a literature review approach, gathering data on teacher education issues through a theoretical analysis of diverse literature related to the observed phenomena. The results indicate that most of the emerging educational issues are indeed rooted in the degradation of teacher education, which ultimately leads to a decline in the quality of education. Addressing this requires improving teacher education—from enhancing teachers’ motivation to teaching to developing the competencies that can be internalized through the teaching profession.

Published: February 2025

Algebra is one of the math materials that is often considered difficult by junior high school students. Basic algebra that makes it difficult for them to understand is the difference between coefficients, constants, and variables. In addition to the difficulty of distinguishing the three kinds of basic algebra, algebra can also be found in some story problems. This phenomenon certainly makes it more difficult for them to solve story-shaped algebra problems. Problem solving is the main skill that students must have in dealing with math problems. In this study, researchers want to exploit or apply learning theory to make it easier for students to solve algebraic math problems. Learning theory is a form of creative learning effort so that students can understand, analyze, and solve any material learned. The learning theory applied by researchers is the development of cognitive learning theory, namely Vygotsky Scaffolding theory. Vygotsky Scaffolding Theory is the result of collaboration between Vygotsky Theory using the Scaffolding approach. The form of exploitation of this theory is aimed at VII grade students of Mts Negeri 09 Jember to guide students' independence in solving algebraic math problems through their zone of proximal development. This research uses qualitative and quantitative mixed methods as well as case study and classroom action approaches. The research was conducted by looking at cases that occur in an institution and taking action on what is feasible to solve the case. The result of this research is that students are able to understand, analyze, and solve algebraic math problems properly and correctly.

A Review on Biogas Potentials from Maize Cob under Varying Pretreatment Temperatures
Authors: Ardo Aliyu Buba , Clarkson Mohammed Abubakar
Published: February 2025

Maize cob, a lignocellulosic agricultural residue, holds great promise as a feedstock for biogas production. However, its structural complexity necessitates pretreatment to enhance biodegradability and methane yield. This review explores the impact of varying pretreatment temperatures on biogas potential, focusing on lignocellulosic breakdown, microbial digestibility, and process efficiency. An analysis of some studies provides insights into optimal pretreatment temperatures, associated mechanisms, and challenges in scaling up for industrial applications. Pretreatment significantly influences methane yield by improving substrate hydrolysis rates. Studies report a 50-100% increase in biogas production following optimal thermal pretreatment. It was found that inadequate lignin removal and prolonged process duration are associate with both LTP and MTP. However, HTP offers higher accessibility to biomass due to effective deconstruction of cellulose-hemicellulose-lignin complex with high potential for scale-up. However, these advantages are associated with adverse counter-productive processes such as excess inhibitory product generation and high energy demand. For, the HTP to be adaptive, these processes must balance.

Microfundamentos en modelos económicos: aportes desde la perspectiva de la historia económica y el desarrollo económico
Authors: Porcile Gabriel
Published: February 2025

El concepto de racionalidad por detrás de los modelos económicos es crucial para el tipo de resultados macroeconómicos que pueden generar. Para los historiadores económicos, el tema es de gran relevancia. El tipo de microfundamentos adoptado define en gran medida la utilidad del modelo para entender procesos históricos y el espacio de conversación posible entre economistas, historiadores económicos y otros científicos sociales. Este trabajo argumenta que los modelos basados en incertidumbre keynesiana, racionalidad limitada y micro evolucionista son más útiles para estudiar dos dimensiones críticas en historia económica, tiempo y cambio. El argumento es ilustrado con unos análisis de los determinantes del cambio estructural y del cambio técnico en una economía periférica.

The role of biomechanics in English vocabulary acquisition: An empirical research of enhancing learning efficiency and student engagement
Authors: Liu Nan
Published: February 2025

Vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental aspect of language learning, and mastery of vocabulary has a substantial impact on learners’ capacity to comprehend and communicate successfully in a foreign language. The research’s goal is to investigate how biological perception affects students’ engagement and the effectiveness of their learning of English vocabulary. A total of 286 various academic students participated in this research. The experimental group (EG) (biological perception-assisted learning) and the control group (CG) (standard vocabulary acquisition techniques) are selected at random from among these students. This research uses the SPSS software version 29.0. The data analyze the statistical methods, including descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and ANOVA, to identify any significant differences between the groups. The research assesses the influence of biological perception on vocabulary retention, learning speed, and general engagement of students in the language learning process through an empirical research including a diverse group of students. The results indicate that, when compared to traditional approaches, students exposed to the EG exhibit significantly greater understanding rates (87%), higher levels of engagement (92%), and enhanced learning efficiency (95%), demonstrating the favorable influence of adding biological sensing into language learning procedures. In contrast, the CG, which employed conventional VA techniques, demonstrated only modest improvements across the board, with a learning speed of 85%, understanding rates of 79%, and engagement levels of 81%. This research provides educators looking to improve vocabulary training with useful insights into the possibilities of biological perception-based tactics for language learning enhancement.
The Potential of CALL and the Task-Based Approach to Prevent and Reverse Interlanguage Fossilisation
Authors: Alharbi Jamilah Maflah
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study reviews how different teaching approaches may effectively address interlanguage fossilisation with the techniques and characteristics of these approaches. To these aim a task-based approach and a computer-mediated approach to learning will be analysed to review how they address the following factors that are believed to cause interlanguage fossilisation. Research Method: This study will use a qualitative strategy to review how different teaching approaches may effectively address interlanguage fossilisation with the techniques and characteristics of these approaches. To these aim a task-based approach and a computer-mediated approach to learning will be analysed to review how they address the following factors that are believed to cause interlanguage fossilisation. Findings: It would seem that an approach that combines task-based learning together with the methods that CALL provides would not only not be incompatible, but it can also provide the learners with more opportunities to either avoid interlanguage fossilisation, or even reverse its effects. This paper has reviewed the advantages that both approaches have in tackling a variety of factors that affect interlanguage fossilisation. In this case, it is clear that both approaches provide opportunities for the learners to receive corrective feedback, as well as explicit instruction on those structures that are fossilised. It is worth noting that instructors need to work case by case on the students to tailor the approach to their needs. In addition, both a task-based learning approach as well as CALL require the provision of sufficient input that is rich and suitable for the learner in order to avoid or tackle fossilisation. One of the most challenging aspects of both teaching approaches towards fossilisation is the provision of instruction that caters for socio-emotional factors affecting the learners. It would appear that this is challenging for all approaches as it is hard to help students adapt to the TL culture and identify with the language within a classroom environment.

Introdução: A exposição prolongada e excessiva ao sol pode causar queilite actínica (QA), uma lesão
pré-maligna que afeta principalmente o lábio inferior. Esta condição é mais comum em homens de pele
clara, com idades variando entre 40 e 80 anos. A queilite actínica pode manifestar- se de forma aguda ou
crônica e está frequentemente associada a profissões ao ar livre, como trabalhadores rurais, pescadores,
marinheiros e operários. Objetivo: Relatar um caso diagnosticado de queilite actínica no lábio inferior.
Materiais e métodos: Paciente do sexo masculino, de 72 anos, leucoderma, procurou atendimento
odontológico relatando uma "ferida na boca que está demorando para cicatrizar". Durante o exame,
observou-se ressecamento e descoloração do lábio inferior, além de uma lesão áspera e irregular na
região. Também foi identificada uma úlcera na semimucosa labial inferior com sangramento à palpação.
Após os exames, o diagnóstico de queilite actínica foi confirmado e um plano de tratamento adequado
foi estabelecido. Resultados e Discussão: A partir das características da lesão apresentada, o manejo se
torna extremamente importante para que, além do tratamento, a prevenção da malignização da lesão é
realizada de acordo com protocolos clínicos já estabelecidos. Conclusão: O paciente foi orientado a
evitar a exposição direta ao sol, utilizando protetor solar labial com fator de proteção solar (FPS) e a
usar chapéu ou boné para proteção adicional. Foi prescrito um corticosteroide tópico para aplicação na
lesão com a ajuda de um cotonete, durante 15 dias, com acompanhamento profissional.
IMPACTOS ADVERSOS DA UTILIZAÇÃO INDISCRIMINADA DE SEMAGLUTIDA NO TRATAMENTO DA OBESIDADE SEM INDICAÇÃO MÉDICA

Published: February 2025

Introdução: De acordo com a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) a obesidade é uma doença
crônica não transmissível, caracterizada pelo excesso de gordura corporal. Existem várias estratégias
para o seu tratamento, incluindo dieta, atividade física e, em alguns casos, medicamentos (Carmo et
al., 2006). A semaglutida, desenvolvida para o tratamento da Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2, também
possibilita uma perda significativa de peso, o que tem levado a uma utilização indiscriminada sem
qualquer prescrição médica ou indicação clínica (Gomes; Trevisan, 2021). Objetivos: Analisar os
efeitos colaterais da utilização indiscriminada da semaglutida no tratamento da obesidade sem
indicação médica. Material e Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza bibliográfica, pautada
em revisão de literatura do tipo narrativa. Foram selecionados artigos presentes nas bases de dados
Pubmed, Scielo e Google Acadêmico, com artigos publicados entre os anos de 2018 a 2024, todos nas
línguas portuguesa e inglesa, que tivessem compatibilidade de títulos e resumos com o objetivo
proposto por essa revisão. Resultados e Discussão: A semaglutida, desenvolvida para o tratamento
da Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2, possibilita uma perda significativa de peso, o que tem levado a uma
utilização indiscriminada sem qualquer prescrição médica ou indicação clínica (Gomes; Trevisan,
2021). No entanto, o emprego desse fármaco pode estar associado a efeitos adversos temporários,
como náuseas e diarreia, sendo crucial a avaliação cuidadosa dos riscos e benefícios em cada caso
individual. Além disso, é imperativo investigar os efeitos a longo prazo (Moraes et al., 2022). O uso
prolongado da semaglutida tem sido associado a riscos significativos, entre eles, pancreatite aguda
(Zannata et al., 2023; Oliveira, 2022), insuficiência renal (Nascimento et al., 2023; Oliveira et al.,
2022) e aumento no risco de carcinoma medular de tireoide (Nascimento et al., 2023). Conclusão:
Os benefícios da semaglutida são evidentes, visto que pode levar a uma melhoria na qualidade de
vida de pacientes, especialmente aqueles com obesidade associada ao diabetes tipo 2. No entanto,
seu uso indiscriminado, a longo prazo e sem uma correta indicação pode resultar em efeitos colaterais
graves
MÉTODO OVULATÓRIO BILLINGS: UMA REVISÃO LITERÁRIA
Authors: das Dores Pereira Neto Ubiracyr , Pessoa Perez Ocanha Jaqueline
Published: February 2025

Introdução: Apesar de estarmos em pleno século XXI, muitas pessoas desconhece o método científico
natural de controle de fertilidade que consiste na observação da umidade vaginal (Método Ovulatório
Billings, mas conhecido como MOB), a técnica se baseia na auto-observação da sensação de umidade
produzida pelo muco cervical ao descer pela vagina e nos sinais do próprio corpo. Essa umidade
percebida na vagina indica as alterações hormonais que acontecem no corpo da mulher. Ele sinaliza os
dias férteis e inférteis e a proximidade da menstruação, sendo sua observação útil tanto para quem deseja
conhecer a sua fertilidade, evitar a gravidez quanto para quem planeja ter uma gestação. Objetivos: Este
trabalho teve como enfoque trazer conhecimento sobre o MOB e evidenciar o seu bom resultado com
uma utilização correta, mostrando também seus inúmeros benefícios diante a tantos outros métodos que
trazem malefícios que são suprimidos. Material e Métodos: Foram feitas buscas nas plataformas de
dados Scielo, NCBI, Google Scholar e PubMed utilizando os seguintes descritores: “previsão da
ovulação” , “método billings”, “métodos anticoncepcionais”, “controle de fertilidade” e “ciclo
menstrual”. As buscas foram dos últimos 20 anos pois não eram encontrados um número relevante de
artigos atuais. Resultados e Discussão: Foram encontrados vários estudos, meta-análises e relatos de
casos onde mulheres no período fértil apresentam inúmeras queixas que são ligadas aos
anticoncepcionais orais mas que muitas vezes são tratadas de formas diversas sem pensar no que está
causando, já essas queixas não aparecem nas pacientes que fazem a utilização do MOB. Efeitos adversos
tais como trombose, resistência à insulina, queda da libido e irregularidades na pressão arterial, têm
sido mascarados a décadas com a implementação das pílulas controladoras da fertilidade em todo o
mundo. É visto que o MOB é indicado para todas as mulheres, com ciclos regulares ou não, desde a sua
primeira menstruação até a sua menopausa. Para quem quer engravidar, o método é igualmente eficaz e
ajuda a saber qual é o melhor momento para o casal ter relações sexuais com o objetivo de conseguir a
gravidez. Conclusão: Através dos estudos observa-se que o Método Ovulatório Billings tem grande
eficácia comprovada e apresenta benefícios múltiplos sobres os demais métodos.

Authors: de Souza Barboza Julia , Graziele Magro Miriam , Carolina Venção Ana , Scapim Viola Kennia
Published: February 2025

Introdução: Na maioria dos casos de insucesso do tratamento de canais radiculares, recomenda- se o
retratamento endodôntico não cirúrgica como primeira escolha. Objetivos: o objetivo deste estudo foi
avaliar a eficácia do sistema rotatório ProTaper e daslimas manuais K-file, com ou sem xilol, na remoção
do material obturador durante o retratamento endodôntico, bem como a influência dosremanescentes da
obturação na resistência de união push-out, utilizando um cimento à base de resina epóxi na dentina
radicular. Material e Métodos: Foram selecionados quarenta dentes unirradiculares humanos extraídos,
que tiveram suas coroas seccionadas. Os espécimes foram então distribuídos aleatoriamente em quatro
grupos (n=10), de acordo com a técnica de retratamento: Grupo I – limas manuais K-file com xilol, Grupo
II – limas manuais K-file sem xilol, Grupo III – ProTaper com xilol e Grupo IV – ProTaper sem xilol.
Ao término da instrumentação, os espécimes foram submetidos a um protocolo de irrigação com 5 mL
de hipoclorito de sódio (NaOCl) a 2,5%, 3 mL de EDTA a 17% e 5 mL de NaOCl a 2,5%. Foi realizada
a técnica de condensação lateral para obturação, utilizando o cimento AH Plus. Após 7 dias, os
espécimes foram preparados para o teste push-out e submetidos aos testes Kruskal-Wallis e Dunn, com
um nível de significância de 5%. Resultados e Discussão: Não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas
significativas entre os grupos (P > 0,05). Conclusão: Concluiu-se que o uso de instrumentos rotatórios
ProTaper e limas manuais K-file, com ou sem xilol, para a remoção da obturação e do cimento
endodôntico das paredes radiculares, não apresentou diferença estatística significativa na adesividade do
novo material, conforme o teste push-out

Published: February 2025

Introdução: As cerâmicas monolíticas após a fresagem ou injeção costumam ser monocromáticas e
diferem das nuances ópticas dos elementos dentais, sendo necessária a aplicação de técnicas de coloração
extrínseca para obtenção de resultados esteticamente satisfatórios. A necessidade de emprego de
corantes extrínsecos gera questionamentos, levando em conta que a durabilidade dos corantes frente aos
desafios do meio oral ainda não é totalmente conhecida. Objetivo: Esta revisão de literatura visa
desenvolver uma análise criteriosa de diferentes estudos sobre a durabilidade da caracterização
extrínseca em cerâmicas monolíticas de uso odontológico frente a diferentes desafios comuns no meio
oral em curto e longo prazo. Material e Métodos: Foi realizada uma análise bibliográfica de artigos
selecionados através de buscas em bases de dados sobre a durabilidade da caracterização extrínseca em
cerâmicas monolíticas de uso odontológico frente a diferentes desafios comuns no meio oral em curto e
longo prazo. Resultados e Discussão: Os estudos analisados evidenciaram que o comportamento dos
pigmentos extrínsecos em condições laboratoriais é variável de acordo com o material empregado e o
desafio proposto. Conclusão: Frente aos diferentes processamentos laboratoriais, a durabilidade
pigmentação extrínseca de cerâmicas monolíticas vítreas e cristalinas se mostrou promissora quanto à
escovação com dentifrícios de aproximadamente 70 RDA, uso de substâncias clareadoras e movimentos
mastigatórios, porém, estudos de acompanhamento clínico são necessários para maiores esclarecimentos
sobre o tema.
