EMDR's Efficacy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Authors: Rüdiger Böhm Karsten
Published: November 2019

This article evaluates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for individuals with a diagnosis of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted on 55 and 90 patients with OCD. One RCT showed that EMDR was superior to citalapram in reducing OCD symptoms, and the other found EMDR treatment and exposure and response prevention equally effective in decreasing symptoms, with results maintained at 6-month follow-up. In addition to examining these RCTs, this article looks at several case studies to discuss three types of EMDR treatment targets (past, present, and future), and the integration of EMDR therapy with cognitive behavioral strategies such as in vivo exposure. Future research is needed before any definitive conclusions can be made.
Review of EMDR Interventions for Individuals With Substance Use Disorder With/Without Comorbid Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Authors: Tapia Geraldine
Published: November 2019

A large proportion (11%–60%) of people with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) also suffer from substance use disorder (SUD). As the high cooccurrence of PTSD and SUD leads to a worsening of psychopathological severity, development and evaluation of integrated treatments become highly valuable for individuals presenting with both diagnoses. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy may fit these needs. This article summarized all studies that investigated EMDR treatment for SUD, to clarify whether EMDR might be a useful approach. A comprehensive Title/Abstract/Keyword search was conducted on PsycInfo, PsychArticle, PubMed, and Scopus databases. A total of 135 articles were retrieved, and 8 articles met inclusion/exclusion criteria. One RCT and one case study evaluated trauma-focused EMDR; one clinical RCT, one non-clinical RCT, one cross-over study, and one case study evaluated addiction-focused EMDR; and one quasi-experimental and one multiphase case study evaluated the combination of addiction-focused and trauma-focused EMDR. Results show that EMDR treatment consistently reduces posttraumatic symptoms, but that its effects on SUD symptoms are less evident. Although EMDR should be considered as a promising tool for this population due to its possible potential to improve SUD outcomes, further research is needed to see whether EMDR therapy, either trauma-focused or addiction-focused, is effective for SUD. We conclude with suggestions for future research and clinical practice in this area.
Future Research: Global Implications
Authors: Shapiro Francine
Published: November 2019

Therapists trained to provide eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy have a global responsibility. This article summarizes the multiple impacts of high stress events, and their long-term effects on individuals, families, communities, and nations. While it is well documented that EMDR treatment will remediate the individual symptoms of posttraumatic stress, research is still needed to determine how far-reaching such outcomes are. Future studies should determine whether treatment reverses the neurobiological changes, cognitive deficits, and affective dysregulation, which are associated with exposure to traumatic events. Research should also investigate whether successful treatment decreases high-risk and/or perpetrator behavior, and whether these effects are translated into behavioral and attitudinal changes sufficient to bring an end to intergenerational trauma and ethnopolitical conflicts. It seems self-evident that the ideal way to address pressing societal needs, on both local and global levels, is by the integration of science and practice. The article also discusses the development of nonprofit EMDR humanitarian assistance programs, and their essential work in the alleviation of suffering around the world. In addition to recommending the examination of EMDR's efficacy in treating traumatization from direct, natural, structural, and cultural causes, this article advocates that research resources be dedicated for testing interventions in the areas of the world with the greatest needs. The alleviation of suffering is the duty of our profession.

Rôle de la banque de graines du sol dans la régénération des forêts denses humides d’Afrique centrale
Authors: DOUH Chauvelin
Published: November 2019

La présente thèse s’intéresse aux moteurs de la régénération des forêts denses humides tropicales d’Afrique, plus particulièrement au rôle joué par la banque de graines du sol dans cette régénération. Plus spécifiquement, l’étude vise à : évaluer l’abondance et la composition floristique de la banque de graines du sol de deux types de forêt reposant sur des sols différents ; quantifier l’abondance de la banque de graines du sol d’une essence commerciale importante, le tali (Erythrophleum suaveolens) et étudier les facteurs intervenant dans la levée de dormance de ses graines ; évaluer la capacité du système d’imagerie hyperspectrale proche infrarouge à discriminer des graines de deux espèces sœurs, E. suaveolens et E. ivorense. Les résultats montrent que la densité et la composition floristique de la banque de graines du sol varient significativement selon les types de forêt et de sol. Les taxons pionniers sont largement majoritaires dans les deux cas, mais sont mieux représentés dans la banque du sol de la forêt à Celtis (vieille forêt secondaire) que dans le sol de la forêt à Manilkara (forêt mature). Tous taxons confondus, la similarité floristique entre la banque de graines du sol et la végétation environnante est relativement faible quel que soit le type forestier. Cependant, cette similarité s’avère nettement plus importante en ne considérant que les taxons pionniers. Seulement trois espèces de bois d’œuvre ont été observées dans la banque du sol : Nauclea diderrichii, Staudtia kamerunensis et Erythrophleum suaveolens. E. suaveolens, le tali, est une des espèces les plus exploitées d’Afrique centrale. L’évaluation de l’abondance des graines de l’espèce au sein des deux types de forêt révèle une densité plus élevée en forêt à Celtis qu’en forêt à Manilkara, où les graines sont quasi inexistantes bien que les densités d’arbres en âge de reproduction ainsi que les structures diamétriques, soient similaires entre sites. Différentes hypothèses ont été émises pour expliquer ce résultat, la plus probable étant liée à la structure de végétation différente entre les sites. Les canopées des individus vivant dans la forêt à Manilkara seraient davantage dominées et fructifieraient moins fréquemment que dans la forêt à Celtis. La longévité des graines étudiées par spectroscopie de masse par accélérateur révèle que ces semences de tali, viables et enfouies dans le sol, seraient âgées d’environ dix ans. Le système d’imagerie hyperspectrale proche infrarouge s’est avéré efficace dans la distinction des graines d’E. suaveolens et E. ivorense, ce qui ouvre d’intéressantes perspectives quant à l’utilisation de cette technique pour étudier la banque de graines du sol.

Published: November 2019

Aim: In dental implant treatment, there is a demand for mechanically stronger implants. Despite the existence of several studies showing the clinical success of narrow diameter implants, most of them are based on pure titanium (cpTi) alloys. There is a few clinical evidences of the success rate of titanium-zirconium (TiZr) narrow diameter implants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution in the peri-implant area of narrow diameter cpTi and TiZr implants under axial and oblique loads. Methods: Photoelastic models were produced using epoxy resin (PL2, Vishay Precision Group) from a master model. The implants (cpTi and TiZr; Straumann AG) had 3.3 mm in diameter and 12 mm in height. Loads of 100 N and 200 N were applied to the abutment at angles of 0° (axial), 10°, 20°, and 30° (oblique). A circular polariscope (Eikonal) was used under dark field white-light configuration. The isochromatic fringes were analyzed in the peri-implant region in 5 areas, using ASTM table with isochromatic fringes; cervical-mesial, cervical-distal, mid-mesial, mid-distal and apical. Results: In general, under axial and oblique loads, the stress in the TiZr implant was lower than in the cpTi implant. The load of 200 N produced the highest stress values in cpTi and TiZr implants. In both implants and loads, the fringes were located more in apical area at all angles evaluated. Conclusion: It can be concluded that for small implants, the load inclination and intensity change the pattern of stress distribution and the cpTi implant exhibited the highest peri-implant stress.

Published: November 2019

Aim: it was to use tridimensional finite element analysis (FEA) to analyze the effect of height and angulation of prosthetic preparations on the distribution of stresses for lithium disilicate prosthetic crowns, the underlying resin cement, and the prosthetic preparation of a superior central incisor. Methods: a CAD modeling software, SolidWorks 2013, was used to generate three-dimensional virtual models comprising the dimensions of the preparation parameters. Three angles (6, 12 and 16 degrees) were simulated on the prepared walls and two wall heights were utilized (4 and 5 mm), for a total of six model groups according to the height and angulation of the walls. A vertical line in the Y-axis was used as a reference for determining the degrees of convergence (inclination of the preparations). The chamfer finish and preparation width were standardized for all groups. Results: the 4 mm preparations behaved more appropriately when the axial wall convergence was approximately 6 degrees. The 5 mm preparations required 12 degrees of angulation. In relation to resin cement, there was better stress distribution when the angle of incisal convergence was between 6 and 12 degrees. An increase to 16 degrees led to a considerable increase in peak stress at the preparation margin. Conclusion: it was concluded that the convergence of the axial walls of coronal preparations with 4 and 5 mm heights should be 6 and 12 degrees, respectively, to avoid high tension spikes in the underlying resin cement.

Published: November 2019

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge and attitudes regarding potentially malignant oral lesions and oral cancer among undergraduate dental students with or without training in the oral medicine. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken to assess all undergraduate dental student (1st to 5th year) in two private universities in the state of Paraná, Brazil. A structured questionnaire about knowledge regarding potentially malignant oral lesions, continuing education, and different approaches to diagnosis was administered to dental students with or without training in the oral medicine discipline between May and July 2015. Descriptive statistics were obtained, and the data were analyzed using a chi-square test to compare knowledge in dental students. Results: A total of 662 undergraduate dental students were invited to participate, and the response rate was 97.6% (n = 646). Of the responders, 472 were female (73.1%), 168 were male (26.0%), and 6 did not declare what sex they were (0.9%). Undergraduate dental students who had previously studied oral medicine  tended to report  that they always perform complete intraoral examination (76.3%) and identified alcohol (87%) and tobacco consumption (97%) and sun exposure (80%) as major risk factors for developing oral cancer. While students who had not yet studied oral medicine poorly identified these factors. Students who had previously studied the discipline did not identify cheilitis actinica (26%) and erythroplakia (32%) as potentially malignant lesions. Only, 32.6% of dental students participate in continuing education during the past year. Conclusions: Dental students trained in the oral medicine discipline exhibited satisfactory knowledge necessary for the prevention and early identification of potentially malignant oral lesions and oral cancer. Continuing education during undergraduate and after academic training is very important.

Published: November 2019

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of the desire of university students for esthetic treatment and tooth bleaching, and associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 2016 with first-semester university students in Pelotas. Data was collected via a self-administered questionnaire including demographic, socioeconomic and psychosocial characteristics. Oral Impact on Daily Performance (OIDP) was assessed and Poisson regression models were used to evaluate the association between the following outcomes: prevalence of desire for esthetic treatment and the tooth bleaching, and exposure variables. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 2,058 students participated in the study. Refusals represented a mere 1.4% of the total sample. Of the individuals interviewed, 16.1% underwent tooth bleaching and 74.4% reported a desire for esthetic dental treatment. Models showed students with higher family income and with the intention to use private dental services had 65% and 47% higher prevalence of tooth bleaching, respectively. Individuals satisfied with dental color and appearance exhibited a higher prevalence of tooth bleaching, as did those who smoked. On the other hand, students satisfied with dental color (PR= 0.77, 95% CI: 0.73-0.80) and with their dental appearance (PR= 0.82, 95% CI 0.78-0.87) demonstrated less desire to undergo esthetic dental treatment. Moreover, individuals who suffered some impact in OIDP reported a greater desire for esthetic treatment (PR= 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02-1.13). Conclusion: General and psychosocial characteristics were associated with the desire for esthetic treatment and tooth bleaching in university students.

Aim: to evaluate the synergic impact of muscular TMD and malocclusion on quality of life, masticatory capacity and emotional features of young adults. Methods: this cross-sectional study comprised 4 groups (n= 15): G1, individuals without TMD or malocclusion; G2, with TMD and malocclusion; G3, with TMD and without malocclusion, and G4, without TMD and with malocclusion. Muscular TMD was diagnosed by RCD/TMD. Data included quality of life (OHIP-14), masticatory capacity test (X50), emotional stress (PSS-14), depression (MDI), pain intensity and salivary cortisol. Comparative statistical analysis included One-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test (X50, stress and cortisol) and GENMOD followed by Wald test (OHIP-14 and pain data). Fisher's and Pearson's association analysis were carried out. Results: Comorbidity of muscular TMD and malocclusion leads to significant lower masticatory capacity (p<0.05). TMD groups independently of the occlusal condition had considerably lower OHIP-14 scores and higher stress levels (self-perceived and hormonal) (p<0.05).  There was no statistically significant difference of emotional depression among groups. A significant positive correlation was observed among quality of life, stress and pain perception. Conclusion: muscular TMD in the overlap of malocclusion potentializes their negative effect on masticatory capacity. In addition, the hindering effect of the comorbidity is variable, however, TMD has a greater negative impact on quality of life and stress, whilst malocclusion on mastication.

Conclusion: All impression techniques and double pouring produced casts with similar accuracy.
NARRATIVE INQUIRY: PEERS’ FEEDBACKS EFFECT TO IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION OF INDONESIAN PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS
Authors: Kasmiran Marselus Suarta
Published: November 2019

Teacher identity has become an issue in teaching and teachers’ professional identity development since the identity influences teachers’ teaching pedagogies and teachers’ development. Many studies have explored teachers’ identity from in-service teachers’ perspectives. Somehow, small attention has been paid to teachers’ identity construction from pre-service perspectives in Indonesian context. To fill this gap, this research investigated how Indonesian pre-service teachers constructed and reconstructed their identities through peers’ feedbacks in a micro-teaching class. There were three pre-service teachers from Sanata Dharma University who participated in this study. The data were obtained through field observations and interviews. Using Yuan and Lee’s (2015) theory, the study investigated the cognitive, social and emotional processes of their teacher identity construction. The findings of the study suggested that pre-service language teachers developed and modified their identities through peers’ feedbacks in a teaching practicum. The findings also showed that feedbacks delivered positive and negative impacts to pre-service teachers’ identity construction. Although some of the pre-service teachers did not change their beliefs, they still used the feedbacks to prepare for their next teachings. The study supported the theory that teacher identity affected to pre-service teachers’ teaching pedagogies. This paper suggested some implications for policy makers, language teacher education, and pre-service teacher education. A further research with a longer duration is expected.

Authors: Hayati Nor Millah
Published: November 2019

This thesis is purposed at proving the effectiveness of cartoon videos in teaching speaking to the Eighth Grade Students of SMPN 2 Rantau Kalimantan Selatan in academic year of 2013/2014, and showing that there is a significant difference in speaking ability between the students who were taught by using cartoon videos and those who were taught by using conventional method. This study is an experimental research. The population of this study was the eighth grade students of SMPN 2 Rantau Kalimantan Selatan in academic year of 2013/2014 which consisted of seven classes. The total number of population was 158. There were two classes taken as the sample, Class VIII B serving as control class were taught by using conventional method, while class VIII F as the experimental class were taught by using cartoon videos. Class VIII B consisted of 22 students and class VIII F consisted of 22 students. Both classes were given the pre-test at the beginning and the post-test at the end after the treatment. The data were collected by using speaking test. The data were analyzed by using t-test computation, descriptive analysis, and inferential analysis. The research findings show that there is a significant difference in students’ speaking ability between the experimental group taught by using cartoon videos and those who were taught by using conventional method. The result of the pre-test shows that both groups are poor, while the post-test result shows that the experiment group is better than the control one. The mean score of the experimental class in pre-test was 42.50 and that of control class was 42.73. The mean score in post-test of the experimental class was 75.68 and that of the control class was 57.50. It can be seen that the mean score of the experimental class was higher than that of control class in post-test. Furthermore, based on the hypothesis testing, it could be seen that the value of -t obtained (-5.245) < - t table (-2.018), at the significant level 5%. This implied that there is a significant difference of students’ speaking ability between the students who were taught by using cartoon videos and those who were taught by using conventional method.
HOW EMERGING CONCEPTS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES CAN RESPOND TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF THE LEARNERS
Authors: Siyaswati Siyaswati
Published: November 2019

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to know how emerging concepts and digital technologies can respond to the changing needs of the learners. Digital technologies offer us promising opportunities to respond to and incorporate into the practice of educational assessment some of the emerging epistemologies. Epistemologies that may be integral to the effort to deliver high quality education to learners with diverse characteristics and life circumstances in our society. Exploration on development on technology, applied to how we conceptualized and implement assessment may help in the education enterprise to prepare learners for the challenges of the twenty first century workplace. Gordon commissioner and senior scholar Eva Baker (2012) observe that there are at least three rational approaches to dealing with the unpredictability of job and learning requirement in changing global context: 1) educational systems must become both operational and politically agile. 2) Assessment should always include task that call for transfer or the application of learning to new unexpected task, 3) learning and assessment should focus on more pervasive skills that could be embedded in different context and changing subject matter directed toward new applications. Baker identifies two simple and clear policy actions. First transfer must be regularly included as part of test or assessment used to measure learning. Second is to investigate the use of cognitive, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills which is understand as a type of interaction we expect to be demonstrated with components that interact with one another.

Design and Coding of some Secret Sharing Schemes
Authors: Biswas Anindya Kumar , Dasgupta Mou
Published: November 2019

The study, coding and experimental results of secret sharing schemes (SSS) along with a proposed
method are presented in this book. It is very important and essential in any security application,
because none of the security techniques can be developed without pre-negotiation of security keys
or values. For instance, different key exchange protocols are used in IPSec/SSL for pre-establishment
of secret keys. Also, for symmetric encryption, which is much faster than public-key encryption, a
mutually known pre-secret value is used for encryption and decryption of sensitive information to be
exchanged between entities. In 1979, a perfect 𝑡/𝑛 threshold SSS was introduced by Shamir, where
1 < 𝑡 ≤ 𝑛 and any group with 𝑡more participants can reconstruct the secret selected by a trusted
third party (TTP) known as Dealer 𝐷 , however, any group with less than 𝑡 participants cannot get
the secret. This scheme is perfectly secure; however, it has a flaw as one or at most 𝑡 − 1
dishonest participants can exchange with their fake shares (instead of their own genuine shares as
received from 𝐷 secretly), with other group members and obtain the correct secret only for
themselves. It was first noticed and shown by Tompa in 1998 and proposed a simple method for
reducing the cheating probability. In his method, a prime parameter 𝑝 ≥ 𝑚𝑎𝑥 {(𝑠−1)(𝑡−1)/ɛ
+ 𝑡, 𝑛} is taken such that if cheating is occurred, then the secret reconstructed would be out of the secret set
𝑠 = {0, 1, 2, … , 𝑠 − 1} considered. Here ɛ > 0 is a very small number. In this thrilling work, we develop algorithms and coding in Python for Shamir’s SSS, Tompa’s cheating and Harn-Lin’s SSS for detection of cheating. Some experimental results for each of them are also presented for better understanding of Shamir’s method and cheating prevention. We also present an improvement over the method proposed by Harn-Lin in areas of cheating detection.

MATLAB Implementation of Few Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks Routing Protocols
Authors: Datta Amrita , Dasgupta Mou
Published: November 2019

Underwater environments present unique challenges in deploying efficient and reliable
networks due to temperature and pressure differential, ambient waves and currents that
displaces sensor nodes, inability of using RF channels due to signal loss and other chemical
and biological factors that hinder effective underwater communication. Thus providing
efficient and reliable underwater communication is an interesting area of research. While
radio signals have been replaced with acoustic channels due to their longer wavelengths and
longer distance of signal propagation, achieving energy efficiency in a sensor network has
been a significant challenge. A multitude of proposed routing protocols take into
consideration the energy consumption by the sensor nodes in a network. In this document, we
implement and analyse four routing protocols proposed for UWSNs, namely, Depth-Based
Routing, Hop-by-Hop Dynamic Addressing Based Routing, Energy-Efficient Depth-Based
Routing, and Energy aware Opportunistic Routing. Performance of each routing protocols is
simulated on the basis of the number of packets sent to BS, number of alive nodes, and
number of dead nodes. We have used MATLAB to simulate how water currents affect the
performance of each of these routing protocols. Our work enables a better understanding of
various underwater routing protocols, their performance and helps network managers to
choose an appropriate routing protocol under specific situations.

Published: November 2019

Zika virus (ZIKV) co-circulates with several closely related flaviviruses which exhibit similar clinical manifestations thus, clinicians rely on molecular and serological techniques for diagnosis. Cross-reactivity of patient specimens to flaviviruses is a significant impediment to serological diagnosis in areas where multiple flaviviruses co-circulate. Furthermore, patient exposure history to any of these viruses could complicate serological response patterns which could result in over and/or underdiagnosis of ZIKV infection. Three strains of ZIKV, dengue serotypes 1-4, West Nile virus, Japanese Encephalitis virus, and Yellow Fever virus were evaluated for neutralizing properties against 3 monoclonal antibodies, 4 ZIKV-naïve patients with flavivirus exposure history, 5 patients with verified ZIKV exposure and unknown flavivirus exposure history, and 5 flavivirus-naive patients with ZIKV-only exposure. Patients naïve for ZIKV exposure effectively neutralized multiple strains of ZIKV. Overall, the prototype ZIKV isolate MR-766 did not behave like the other ZIKV isolated used in this study. MR-766 was neutralized more completely by polyclonal patient serum than recent ZIKV isolates. MR-766 was neutralized better than dengue virus in ZIKV-naïve patients with prior dengue exposure. MR-766 was neutralized significantly less than recent ZIKV isolates when treated with monoclonal antibodies. The data herein show that without RT-PCR, serological diagnosis may not be possible in areas where multiple flaviviruses are endemic.
Methodology to Analyze the Effectiveness of ESD in a Higher Degree in Education: A Case Study
Authors: Valderrama-Hernández Rocío , Sánchez-Carracedo Fermín , Alcántara-Rubio Lucía , Limón-Domínguez Dolores
Published: November 2019

This paper presents a methodology to evaluate (1) to what extent students of a higher degree in the field of education acquire sustainability competencies, and (2) to determine whether the subjects that develop the ESD achieve their learning objectives. The methodology is applied to a case study. The instruments used are the sustainability survey and the sustainability presence map developed by the EDINSOST project. The survey consists of 18 questions, and has been answered by 104 first-year students and 86 fourth-year students belonging to the Bachelor Degree in Primary Education Teaching at the University of Sevilla. The Mann-Whitney U test has been used to compare the results of the two groups, and Cohen's D has been used to measure the effect size. Students only obtain significant improvements, with 95% confidence, in three questions (Q4, Q5 and Q6), all concerning critical thinking and creativity. An improvement is also detected in question Q11, with a confidence of 90%. However, no subject in the curriculum develops the learning outcomes concerning questions Q4, Q5 and Q6, and only one subject develops the learning outcomes regarding question Q11. On the other hand, up to five subjects declare development of the learning outcomes regarding questions in which there is no improvement in student learning. These results suggest that the subjects are failing to reach their ESD learning objectives, and that the students are either trained in sustainability outside the university or the subject learning guides do not reflect the work done by the students throughout their studies
