Als Teil der MINT-Disziplinen Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technologie nimmt das Erstellen von Computerprogrammen einen immer wichtiger werdenden Platz in der digitalen Bildung ein. Die Förderung des informatischen Denkens bereits im Volksschulalter nutzt allen Kindern, Mädchen jedoch in noch stärkerem Ausmaß. Durch eigene Erfolgserlebnisse, sowie dem Erleben eines Abbaus von Stereotypen profitieren sie von Programmierprojekten in Form eines gestärkten informatischen Selbstbildes besonders. Dies erhöht ihre Chancen, an zukunftsträchtigen und lukrativen Berufsbildern mit informatischem Bezug teilzuhaben. Programmierprojekte an Volksschulen lassen sich flexibel umsetzen – in einem Ausmaß von wenigen Stunden bis hin zu größeren Klassen- oder Semesterprojekten. Ausschlaggebend für den Erfolg sind formelle Kriterien, wie etwa die regelmäßige Verfügbarkeit von Schul-PCs, jedoch auch die pädagogische Auswahl von Programmierumgebung und Begleitmaterial. Besonders geeignet für den Einstieg in die Programmierung mit Kindern sind die Programmierumgebung „Scratch“, sowie die Lernplattform code.org. Beide Umgebungen sind kostenlos, in mehreren Sprachen verfügbar und senken mit einem visuellen, block-basierten Programmieransatz die Einstiegsbarrieren – sowohl für teilnehmende Kinder als auch für Lehrpersonen.

Published: May 2023

Background: Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor that inhibits the final step of the estrogen biosynthesis pathway to prevent estrogen synthesis, has been utilized in a variety of infertile scenarios. A common gynecological pain problem called endometriosis involves tissue that resembles the tissue that typically lines the inner layer of the uterus. It frequently results in fertility issues. According to the trials, the Letrozole medication continues to reduce the severity of persistent pelvic pain. According to reports, Letrozole therapy relieves pelvic pain brought on by endometriosis. Objective: In this study, we evaluated Letroszole's effectiveness in treating chronic pelvic discomfort associated with endometriosis. Study Design: A cross-sectional study Place and Duration: This study was conducted at Sandeman Provincial Hospital (SPH) / BMCH, Quetta Pakistan from December 2021 to December 2022. Methodology: A total of 60 patients with endometriosis were taken in this study. Patients with a past history of treatment for endometriosis with varying degrees of improvement were also included. Data was analyzed on SPSS version 24.0. Before starting the treatment, an initial diagnostic laparoscopy was used to diagnose and score endometriosis. Oral administration of Letrozole 2.5mg, celbex 200mg three times a day, calcium citrate 1000 mg, progestin norethisterone acetate 5 mg, and vitamin D (1000 IU) was given for 6 months Results: The mean age of the participants was30.9years. A total of 26 (43.3%) patients presented with dysmenorrhea. Out of 60 patients, 43 (71.6%) were nulliparous. The mean visual analogue scale which was 7.12 at the start of the therapy, dropped to 6.8 (p-value 0.02) in one month and dropped to 3.3 in six months of the therapy. Conclusion: Letrozole has been shown to be effective in treating pelvic pain related to endometriosis, with notable pain reduction and no recurrence of symptoms. Keywords: Letrozole, Endometriosis, pain score

Methodology: One hundred outpatient females who were having difficulties related to their thyroid bleeding were accepted into the study. Patients with ages ranging from 40 to 55 years were included in this study. Every lady was evaluated to establish whether or not she was suffering from abnormal uterine bleeding, and her thyroid profile was analyzed as well. The procedure for the research study consisted of getting a detailed history from the participants regarding any anomalies in their periods. In addition to these, standard blood tests including random blood sugar, haemoglobin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, liver function test, pap smear, bleeding time, clotting time, endometrial biopsy, transvaginal ultrasonography and transabdominal, serum T3 (T3), T4 (T4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were performed. These tests were carried out on the patient. Results: Mean age as 46.8+5.98 years and mean BMI was calculated as 27.98+6.21(kg/m2). Mean TSH levels were 4.4+2.5(mIU/L), T3 level were 3.4 ± 1.7 (pmol/L), and T4 level were 1.8 ± 0.6 (pmol/L). We found Menorrhagia as the commonest bleeding pattern 49(49%) followed by Oligomenorrhea in 30(30%), Hypomenorrhea in 11(11%) and Metrorrhagia in 2(2%) of the cases. Conclusion: Among the patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, hypothyroidism was common finding and hyperthyroidism was associated with lesser amount of bleeding. Moreover abnormal BMI is a major risk factor for the abnormal uterine bleeding. Keywords: Abnormal uterine bleeding, hypothyroidism, body mass index

Published: May 2023

Objective: To compare the efficacy of Copal varnish versus dentin bonding agent for the prevention of postoperative sensitivity in amalgam restorations with the help of Visual auditory score (VAS). Study Design: Comparative clinical study. Place and Duration: A randomized control trial was conducted in the Department of Operative Dentistry after approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Fatima Memorial Hospital (FMH-03-2020-IRB-752-M). Methodology: A randomized control trial was conducted in which sample size of 60 was calculated, 30 in group. A (copal varnish) and 30 in group B (dentin bonding agent) with 95% confidence level and 80% power of test, 5 % level of significance. Non-probability consecutive sampling was used using lottery method. Inclusion criteria included both male and female patients with age range 18-40 years and no significant signs and symptoms of pain prior to treatment. Teeth which were previously restored and deep cavities with less than 2mm of remaining dentin thickness on periapical radiograph, with reference to GV Black’s class I were excluded from the study. Results: The study subjects were 60 patients requiring restorations for class I cavities. Each treatment group had 30 patients. A single operator evaluated all the patients at baseline and performed the procedure. The patients were recalled at 24 hours and 7th day, for postoperative evaluation. No significant difference was found in the mean sensitivity score of both the classes. Chi-square test was analyzed to find out the frequency of postoperative sensitivity and efficacy among males and females. No significant difference was found among both males and females. Practical implication: Current study can help dentists choose the right materials for restorative procedures, reducing postoperative discomfort. It also highlights the importance of regular dental check-ups and early intervention to prevent invasive procedures and promote oral health for the community. Conclusion: Copal varnish and dentin bonding agents are equally good in terms of their efficacy and reduction of postoperative sensitivity, in class I amalgam restorations. The effect of cavity depth and amount of tooth reduction greatly affect the result of postoperative sensitivity in class I lesions confined to outer 1/3rd of dentin.

Authors: Khalid Asna , Ahmed Sufyan , Mehdi Syed Muhammad Zaki , Ilyas Ayesha , . Aimen , Sardar Tariq
Published: May 2023

The reintegration of partial edentulism patients is the utmost common treatment performed by dental practitioners in relations of frequency & occurrence, even though the general decline in tooth loss seen in recent times. There is broad agreement among dental professionals that osseointegrated implant-supported prostheses are the preferred method for replacing an edentulous gap caused by one or more lost teeth. These implants have been shown to provide several benefits for both physical and mental health. Objectives: The current retrospective study sought to define and assess the 60 months follow-up of implants inserted in patients who needed sinus floor elevation surgery in the maxillary arch. Following a single-stage surgical method with delayed implant insertion, the impact of various RABH & the usage of graft and graft less methods were evaluated. Methodology: Patients chosen for the current retrospective study were selected from the data-based logbooks kept by the oral surgery department between January 2017 and December 2022. All patients who had concomitant lateral sinus floor elevation & implant insertion from the same department were evaluated in the current study after obtaining formal approval from the IRB of the institute. Results: 86 grafted sinuses received a sum of 239 implants, each assessing 10 & 12 millimeters in length and 4 or 5 mm in breadth. Specific measurements revealed that the majority were 4 mm broad & 10 mm long. Using a manual torque wrench, it was determined that all implants, regardless of size, attained an insertion torque of >35 Ncm at the moment of implantation. In 41 patients, xenograft was employed, corresponding to 60 sinuses; in contrast, in 45 patients, graft-less surgery was performed, corresponding to 62 sinuses. An average follow-up of 43 months was used. Conclusion: Maxillary sinuses with a RABH of more than four millimeters can be effectively transplanted using a single-stage xenograft technique. One-stage graft-less surgeries with blood clot alone & swift implant implantation should only be used in sinuses with a RABH > 6 mm since they have lower success rates. Practical Implication: The following study will help oral surgeon in choosing the surgery carried out for the implant placement involving the sinuses.

Authors: Abdullah Tariq , Akbar Muhammad , Khatti Shahnawaz , Katyar Ishrat Rahim , Bux Karim , Anwar Muhammad
Published: May 2023

Background: Informed consent (IC) is a critical step in ensuring that patients understand implications of their treatment decisions. Materials and Methods: It is observational cross-sectional study. Non probability purposive sampling was used to collect data from different surgical units. Adult postsurgical patients were questioned using a standardized questionnaire between the first- and fifth-day following surgery in two general hospitals in Sindh province (Hyderabad and Jamshoro). Data was analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft excel. Results: A total of 78% of individuals who claimed to have read it found informed consent to be easy to understand. Less than half of patients thought information brought them some emotional solace, while 23.2% of patients reported feeling more anxious after hearing information. This study suggests enhancing the process of obtaining consent forms by including additional information and avenues for discussion on written documents rather than relying solely on verbal communication. Conclusion: Patients under age of sixty and patients who had completed more schooling tended to read written informed consent forms more frequently. Orally communicated pre-operative information suited patients' requirements better than written informed consent. Surgeon needs to get informed permission from patient and inform them about operation type, potential consequences and other treatment options.

Published: May 2023

Background and Aim: The most frequently used technique for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the transradial approach (TRA). The purpose of the present study was to determine the prevalence of upper extremity function following transradial percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 280 patients hospitalized for percutaneous coronary intervention in the Cardiology Department of MTI Lady Reading hospital, Peshawar and Lahore General Hospital from March 2022 to December 2022. Patients with palpable radial artery and non-occlusive flow confirmed by Doppler ultrasound examination were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: Group-I (underwent transradial approach (TRA)) and Group-II (treated with transfemoral PCI (TF-PCI). All the clinical outcomes were measured after 6 months follow-up. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 280 patients, the Group-I and Group-II had 220 and 60 patients respectively. During follow-up, the Group-I patients had higher incidence of upper extremity dysfunction (UED) (34.8%) than control or group-II patients (12.8%). Wrist extension, flexion, and elbow extension was the prime reasons for the upper extremity dysfunction. Smokers were three time at higher risk of developing upper extremity dysfunction. Conclusion: It has been observed that UED appears to occur twice as frequently in group-I as in group-II. Reduced rate of site complication and enhanced patient’s satisfaction has been found in group-I as compared to group-II. Keywords: Upper extremity function, percutaneous coronary intervention, transradial approach

In the southeastern Pacific off Chile, coralliophilid snails have only been cited from offshore islands at the Juan Fernández Archipelago and from Easter Island. In this work we describe a new coralliophilid species, Coralliophila ceciliae sp. nov., from shallow subtidal
waters at a few locations in the Región de Atacama, northern Chile. This new species represents the first record for the subfamily Coralliophilinae, and for the genus Coralliophila, in the coasts of continental Chile. The new species differs from all other known eastern Pacific
Coralliophila species in terms of shell shape, thickness, aperture color, and sculpture details, and it represents the first report of a coralliophilid species associated with actiniarians in the eastern Pacific. En el Pacífico suroriental frente a Chile, caracoles coralliophilidos
solo han sido citados de islas oceánicas en el archipiélago de Juan Fernández y en la Isla de Pascua. En este trabajo describimos una nueva especie de coralliophilido, Coralliophila ceciliae sp. nov., de aguas submareales someras en algunas localidades de la Región
de Atacama, norte de Chile. Esta nueva especie representa el primer registro para la subfamilia Coralliophilinae, y para el género Coralliophila, en las costas de Chile continental. La nueva especie difiere de todas las demás especies conocidas de Coralliophila del Pacífico
oriental en cuanto a la forma y grosor de la concha, al color de la abertura y detalles de la escultura, y representa el primer informe de una especie coralliophilida asociada con actiniarios en el Pacífico oriental.

Published: May 2023

In the Caribbean Sea and adjacent areas, squids of the genus Abralia are a key component in the cephalopod community. However, the distribution and abundance of their paralarvae in this region are unknown, as well as their morphology in early development, making their identification
difficult. In the present study, paralarvae of Abralia spp. from surface neuston, subsurface neuston, and multiple opening and closing nets and environmental sensor system (MOCNESS; 0–58 m) tows carried out in the Caribbean Sea were identified, describing the horizontal and vertical
distribution of their abundance and their morphology and molecular identity. The greatest abundance of Abralia spp. was recorded in subsurface tows, distributed mainly off Chinchorro Bank, Cozumel, and Honduras, and in a stratum of 38–48 m depth in MOCNESS tows. Paralarvae showed
evidence of ontogenetic migration with larger sizes distributed at greater depths. Sixty-eight percent of Abralia spp. had sizes of 1.1–2.0 mm mantle length (ML), indicating that the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System is an important area in the spawning and development of the genus.
Twelve paralarvae were sequenced using the Cytochrome Oxidase I gene (COI) resulting in the presence of two species: Abralia redfieldi and Abralia veranyi (99.01%–100% similarity), which could not be individually identified using the morphological analysis. However, we
confirmed their geographical overlap along the Caribbean Sea and described the general morphology of the paralarvae between 1.1–6.0 mm ML.
Quintic Trigonometric B-spline Algorithm for Numerical Solution of the Modified Regularized Long Wave Equation
Authors: KIRLI Emre
Published: May 2023

This study introduces a new numerical algorithm for solving the modified regularized long-wave (MRLW) equation. To discretize the spatial variables and their derivatives, the collocation technique with quintic trigonometric B-spline functions is utilized and for the temporal derivative, the Adam's Moulton scheme is implemented. The performance and efficiency of the computational algorithm is tested on sample problem including the motion of single solitary wave. The error norm and three conservation constants are computed and compared with some of those available in the literature. The computed results verify that the suggested algorithm has the advantage in obtaining a highly accurate approximate solution of the MRLW equation as compared to the existing methods. The advantage of the method is that it is easy to implement and requires the low computational cost.

Based on data from BNPD from the period 2000 - 2020, Ponorogo Regency has experienced 123 landslides, and 39 flood disasters. The approach used in this study is multi-hazard disaster. The purpose of the study is 1.) Analyze the spread of flood hazard levels in Ponorogo Regency. 2.) Analyze the spread of the danger level of landslide disasters in Ponorogo Regency.3.) Analyze the distribution of disaster hazard levels in Ponorogo Regency using a multi hazard index. The research methods conducted in this study are stacking and improvement, while for multi-hazard modeling of disasters using VCA tables. Data processing in this study is divided into 3 stages, namely parameter data processing, disaster hazard data modeling, and multi-hazard disaster modeling. The accuracy test is conducted on the usage data, and the sampling method is a random sampling method. Validation tests were conducted on data from modeling the hazards of floods and landslides. The results of this study are a disaster parameter data map, a flood hazard map, a landslide hazard map, and a multi-hazard disaster map. Based on the results of modeling, multi-hazard disaster has an area that is low hazard class has the widest area of 90,773.55 Ha (65%), The moderate hazard class has an area of 45,438.55 Ha (33%). The high hazard class has an area of 2,957.56 Ha (12%). The multi-hazard class is determined by the result of a combination of landslide and flood hazard classes, for example the combination of low and high hazard classes will produce a moderate hazard class. Therefore, the distribution of areas from the multi-hazard class of disasters is greatly influenced by the distribution of areas of both types of disasters.

In its implementation, the government forms the KB Village Program which is located atthe village level area. The research was conducted in KB Pucangsawit Village and KB SondakanVillage. This area was chosen based on the consideration of population growth which increases everyyear so that it needs to be studied in the implementation of the Kampung KB Program. The purpose ofthis study was to analyze the implementation of the Kampung KB program in the two regions and toanalyze the supporting and inhibiting factors found in the implementation of the Kampung KBProgram. This study uses a survey method and uses descriptive, quantitative and SWOT analysis.From the research it shows that the Kampung KB Pucangsawit has an optimal classification while theKampung KB Sondakan has a less than optimal classification. While the education factor af ects theimplementation of the Kampung KB Program 97.69%: 92.11%, then the influence of income is52.15%: 30.20%. The SWOT analysis shows the results of quadrant 1 so that there is an SO strategyto use program opportunities, so as to minimize inhibiting factors and maximize supporting factors.

Working towards more culturally informed formulation using the power threat meaning framework
Authors: Willmot Phil
Published: May 2023

Criminogenic needs are often negatively framed in terms of deficit or dysfunction. However, a trauma-informed approach would suggest that these criminogenic needs have often developed in response to adversity, had important survival value, and in certain circumstances may continue to have survival value for the individual. Understanding the context and function of criminogenic needs is therefore key to managing them. The Power Threat Meaning Framework is a useful framework for exploring the context and function of criminogenic needs. This paper proposes a framework, based on different forms of power, that practitioners can use to explore the impact of formative experiences of people from diverse backgrounds, as well as how those experiences have shaped meaning and responses for minoritized individuals. It can also be used to enable practitioners to reflect on the power differentials between themselves and the people they work with and how those differentials might affect the working relationship.

Published: May 2023

Background: Although visual examination and palpation are used to assess shoulder motion in clinical practice, there is no consensus on shoulder motion under dynamic and static conditions. This study aimed to compare shoulder joint motion under dynamic and static conditions. Methods: The dominant arm of 14 healthy adult males was investigated. Electromagnetic sensors attached to the scapular, thorax, and humerus were used to measure three-dimensional shoulder joint motion under dynamic and static elevation conditions and compare scapular upward rotation and glenohumeral joint elevation in different elevation planes and angles. Results: At 120° of elevation in the scapular and coronal planes, the scapular upward rotation angle was higher in the static condition and the glenohumeral joint elevation angle was higher in the dynamic condition (P<0.05). In scapular plane and coronal plane elevation 90°– 120°, the angular change in scapular upward rotation was higher in the static condition and the angular change in scapulohumeral joint elevation was higher in the dynamic condition (P<0.05). No differences were found in shoulder joint motion in the sagittal plane elevation between the dynamic and static conditions. No interaction effects were found between elevation condition and elevation angle in all elevation planes. Conclusions: Differences in shoulder joint motion should be noted when assessing shoulder joint motion in different dynamic and static conditions. Level of evidence: Level III, diagnostic cross-sectional study.
An objective assessment of the impact of tendon retraction on sleep efficiency in patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears: a prospective cohort study

Published: May 2023

Background: Sleep quality, quantity, and efficiency have all been demonstrated to be adversely affected by rotator cuff pathology. Previous measures of assessing the impact of rotator cuff pathology on sleep have been largely subjective in nature. This study was undertaken to objectively analyze this relationship through the use of activity monitors. Methods: Patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears at a single institution were prospectively enrolled between 2018 and 2020. Waist-worn accelerometers were provided for the patients to use each night for 14 days. Sleep efficiency was calculated using the ratio of the time spent sleeping to the total amount of time that was spent in bed. Retraction of the rotator cuff tear was classified using the Patte staging system. Results: This study included 36 patients: 18 with Patte stage 1 disease, 14 with Patte stage 2 disease, and 4 patients with Patte stage 3 disease. During the study, 25 participants wore the monitor on multiple nights, and ultimately their data was used for the analysis. No difference in the median sleep efficiency was appreciated amongst these groups (P>0.1), with each cohort of patients demonstrating a generally high sleep efficiency.Conclusions: The severity of retraction of the rotator cuff tear did not appear to correlate with changes in sleep efficiency for patients (P>0.1). These findings can better inform providers on how to counsel their patients who present with complaints of poor sleep in the setting of full-thickness rotator cuff tears.

Jambi Muhammadiyah University participates in evaluating lecturers.  However, the evaluation process carried out was still manual, namely using paper, where the paper containing the questionnaire was circulated to students and not all students filled out and collected the questionnaire again.  Assessment procedures in this way are considered less effective and efficient.  This procedure has many weaknesses including the use of a lot of paper in each questionnaire distribution, the calculation of the assessment requires a longer time, and the possibility of calculation errors due to human error.  Therefore an information system is needed that can overcome this problem so as to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the process of assessing and evaluating lecturer performance. The system is built using the PHP programming language and as a database using MySQL.  The method used in this study uses the waterfall method with the stages of needs analysis, system design, system implementation and system testing.  The design of this system uses data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews, and document review.  The expected results in this study are a website-based Lecturer Evaluation Information System that can facilitate related parties in measuring the quality standards of lecturer quality at the University of Muhammadiyah Jambi.
