Published: January 2024

This study aimed to find out and describe the learning effectiveness during the Covid-19 pandemic at Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Department, State Islamic Institue (STAIN) Teungku Dirundeng, Meulaboh, along with its obstacles and solutions. This study employed the descriptive qualitative research method and was also categorized as field research. The subject of this study was limited to the learning process experienced by students in the sixth semester at the Islamic Education study program, Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Department, STAIN Teungku Dirundeng Meulaboh. The data-collecting techniques used in this study were observation, interview and documentation. The findings revealed that the learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic was executed in two ways: online and offline learning. Offline learning was viewed as more effective than online learning because offline learning allowed students to interact live with the lecturers and other students despite the health protocol application. On the other hand, online learning caused some obstacles, one of them was the unstable internet connection. There were some reasonably solutive solutions to this issue which as the reliable internet connection reaching out to the remote areas.

Published: January 2024

The increasing epileptic electricity supply, mainly in the residential areas of Nigerian cities, has been linked to the incorrect knowledge of the numerous socio-economic and physical indices that influence household electricity usage. Most of the seemingly identified explanatory factors were done at macro level which does not give a clear estimate of this electricity demand. The thrust of the study is to analyse empirically the household electricity determinants in Nigerian cities with a view to evolving a more informed and sustainable energy policy decision. Multistage area cluster sampling method was adopted in the study where 769 copies of structured questionnaire were distributed to electricity users of prepaid meters in five major Nigerian cities. The research hypothesis was tested using the multiple linear regression statistical tool. The result revealed that nine variables which include age (r = 0.05, p-value: 0.05), household income (r = 0.00, p-value: 0.05), number of hours that people stay outside the house (r = 0.043, p-value: 0.05), number of teenagers at home, (r = 0.006, p-value: 0.01) number of electrical appliances (r = 0.016, p-value: 0.01), type of house (r = 0.012, p-value: 0.01), hours that the electrical appliances are used (r = 0.043, p-value: 0.05), weather condition, (r = 0.011, p-value: 0.05) and the location of the building (r = 0.045, p-value: 0.05) were significant in determining the household electricity consumption. Policies based on the findings will give energy and urban planners an empirical basis for accurate and robust forecasting of the determinants that influence household electricity consumption in Nigeria that is devoid of any speculation or unfounded predictions.

Audio, ergo intellego: un método para enseñar latín en Secundaria
Authors: García García Manuel , Jorge Hernández Rita
Published: January 2024

Presentamos un método de enseñanza del latín que se pretende síntesis del procedimiento didáctico tradicional (fundamentado en la explicación de la gramática de la lengua en cuestión y la lectura, análisis y traducción de textos de autores clásicos con un diccionario a mano) y del método de Hans Øerberg (que aboga por enseñar latín como si de una lengua viva cualquiera se tratase). Las producciones lingüísticas que lo vertebran están escrupulosamente escogidas para que resulten comprensibles e interesantes a un joven del siglo XXI. Y se ordenan para su lectura en voz alta, escucha, escritura al dictado y entendimiento conforme a una ponderada gradación de dificultades. Se parte de la convicción de que es el oído el sentido del entendimiento, el que nos permite aprender nuestra lengua materna y cualquiera de las otras (muertas o vivas) que aprendamos: entiendo porque oigo; o si se prefiere: oigo y por eso entiendo.
Localisation of the Unerupted Maxillary Canine Additional Observations
Authors: Jacobs Stanley G.
Published: January 2024

Occlusal radiographs are recommended for the tube shift method used to localise the unerupted maxillary canine. Several case histories are presented to explore how diagnostic occlusal films may be obtained. The initial maxillary incisor inclination determines the vertical angulation of the tube, while the mesio-distal position of the canine crown determines the horizontal angulation of the tube to the mid-sagittal piane. Increased distances aid localisation: both the distance between the impacted tooth and its reference tooth, and the distance between the positions of the tube at exposure are significant. If an orthopantomogram and an occlnsal film are to be taken as initial radiographs, the orthopantomogram should be read first to determine the position of the tube for the occlusal film. Radiographs taken prcviously niay provide iuformation on centring the tube for the occlusal film. The horizontal tube shift between Lwo occlnsal fihns is a more sensitive means of localising canines than is the vertical tnbe shift available bctween an orthopantonmogram and an occlusal film.
Tooth Movement Following Third Molar Removal
Authors: Thurnwald G.A. , Monsour F.N. , L’Estrange P.R.
Published: January 2024

The mandibular dental arches of 45 young adults (mean age = 24.3 years) were analyzed by measuring study casts taken immediately before and twelve weeks after the removal of impacted third molar teeth. Arch length and width were measured at predetermined points on the study casts. The results showed significant buccal movement of mandibular second molar teeth following surgery (p < 0.01). Bilateral mesioangular impactions were associated with larger increases in mandibular arch width following surgery than unilateral mesioangular hnpactions or other classes of impaction (p < 0.05). The greatest amount of tooth movement was observed in cases where mandibular second molars had a pre-operative lingual inclination. It is hypothesised that mesioangularly impacted mandibular tlrird molars can produce sufficient force to displace the adjacent second molar teeth in a lingual direction and when the adjacent tlrird molar is removed this movement is reversed by functional forces.
Clinical Application of the Graphical Analysis of Tooth Width Discrepancy
Authors: Christopher T.C. , Freer T.J.
Published: January 2024

Mesiodistal tooth width discrepancies hetween the maxillary and mandihular teeth may be present in any dentition.

A mismatch in width between the maxillary and mandibular teeth can have a pronounced effect on the occlusion by preventing the correct interdigitation of buccal teeth and the correct overhite/overjet relation of anterior teeth. No simple graphical method of analysis of tooth width discrepancy has previously been devised. The present graphical analysis of tooth width discrepancy has been developed to comprehensively assess new cases for tooth width discrepancy, The findings from the graphical analysis of tooth width discrepancy were invaluable as an aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. Diagnostic set-ups performed on each malocclusion supported the findings from the graphical analysis. The analysis provided the ability to visually recognise and localise the tooth or teeth causing the tooth width discrepancy. Computerisation of the graphical analysis of tooth width discrepancy will simplify and encourage its use in the overall diagnosis and treatment planning of all malocclusions.
Deformation of Orthodontic Archwires Over Time
Authors: Wong E.K.F. , Borland D.W. , West V.C.
Published: January 2024

Most previous studies of archwire deformation over time (hereafter referred to as “time-dependent deformation of orthodontic wires”) have been conducted at a constant room temperature. In the clinical situation however, arch wires are exposed to 37°C as well as to periods of temperature increase when hot foods or fluids are ingested. The effects of the latter on time-dependent behaviour are largely unknown. Since the introduction of direct electric resistance heat treatment to superelastic nickel titanium wires, there have been no reports on its effect on time-dependent deformation. This study investigated the effects of repeated temperature increases (70°C) on stainless steel, nickel titanium and beta titanium wires. The wires were deflected by approximately 3 and 5 mm on two jigs for periods of 1 minute, 1,7,14 and 28 days. Permanent deformation was measured optically with a measuring microscope and the amount of time-dependent deformation was calculated. Beta titanium wires demonstrated the greatest amount of time-dependent deformation; followed by non-superelastic nickel titanium, stainless steel, and superelastic nickel titanium. Exposure to repeated temperature (70°C) increases and direct electric resistance heat treatment of superelastic nickel titanium did not affect time-dependent behaviour.

Indirect Bonding
Authors: Geenty Joseph Patrick
Published: January 2024

The advantages of indirect bonding have heen recognised for more than twenty years. However the technique has not gained widespread acceptance as an alternative to conventional direct honding. Reports of difficulty in achieving adequate isolation of posterior teeth and prohlems with resin flash and low hond strength may explain the reluctance of the profession to make use of the technique. This paper descrihes an improved indirect technique which uses a heat cured honding resin in a way that appears to overcome the reported problems.
Complications of Orthognathic Surgery
Authors: Dimitroulis George
Published: January 2024

Although orthognathic surgery has now become a routine part of oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, concern and apprehension about major jaw surgery continues to plague the minds of many orthodontists faced with the prospect of referring their patients for surgery. Like all surgery, complications also occur with orthognathic procedures, most of which can be prevented by thorough planning and careful surgery. In this article a brief overview of the potential complications associated with orthognathic surgery is presented for the benefit of orthodontists involved in the management of patients undergoing combined orthodontic-surgical treatment.
Second Permanent Molar Extraction and Late Lower Arch Crowding: A Ten-Year Longitudinal Study
Authors: Richardson Margaret E.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this investigation was to examine lower arch alignment in the long term following treatment by second molar extraction. Thirty subjects, treated by extraction of four second permanent molars at an average age of 13.9 years, were examined five and ten years after extractions. None had any mechanical treatment in the lower arch. Twenty had some simple upper arch treatment, including, in five cases, extraction of first premolars. The changes in lower arch alignment were measured on study models. There was a small average decrease in lower arch crowding in the first five years following extraction, and little or no change in alignment in the next five years.

The skeletal maturation was assessed from left hand and wrist radiographs by the Greulich and Pyle Atlas Method (1959). The early maturers in sexual maturation were significantly more advanced in skeletal maturity with p<0.001.
Dentofacial Changes in Patients with Class III Malocclusions Treated By a Combination of Activator and Chin-Cup Appliances
Authors: Basdra Efthimia K. , Stellzig Angelika , Komposch Gerda
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine, on pre-treatment and post-treatment lateral cephalograms, the effects of combined activator/chincup therapy on Class III patients, and to compare mean cephalometric diferences noted during treatment with untreated Class I suhjects. Fourteen females and fifteen males who exhibited a Class III malocclusion were the subjects of the study. Direct comparison of the mean value changes of the cephalometric variables during treatment of Class III patients with untreated Class I subjects revealed that SNA increased more and SNB increased less in the Class III patients than in the control group, thus improving the ANB angle. At the end of treatment, all patients had a positive overjet but a more concave profile. In this study, combined activator/chin-cup therapy seemed to induce improvement in those Class III patients selected for their moderate condition and treated over a five-year period. The changes seemed to indicate growth patterns which imitate those of the untreated Class I subjects. Moreover, dentoalveolar compensations helped to improve the overjet and conceal skeletal deviations.

Published: January 2024

Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in pediatric patients, encompassing entities such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia, present a multifaceted clinical challenge. This study delves into the complexity of pediatric LRTIs, considering diverse pathogens, clinical manifestations, and the influence of viral epidemics. Epidemiological insights reveal a global impact, with a notable burden on mortality and morbidity, particularly in the first years of life.

The retrospective cohort study, conducted at a Children's Emergency Clinical Hospital, explores the clinical and paraclinical profile of 145 pediatric patients diagnosed with LRTIs between January 2022 and December 2022. Descriptive statistics of hospitalization days, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) values provide insights into the clinical-paraclinical dynamics.

Respiratory failure primarily results from viral infections, showcasing the need for targeted interventions. The study identifies Staphylococcus aureus and respiratory syncytial virus as prevalent etiological agents. Notably, antibiotic therapy, primarily cephalosporins, is employed in 86.2% of cases.

This comprehensive analysis contributes to a nuanced understanding of pediatric LRTIs, guiding personalized treatment strategies and preventive measures. The study serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers, fostering advancements in pediatric respiratory care.

Published: January 2024

Globally, acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five, particularly pneumonia. In 2019, pneumonia claimed 740,180 children's lives, constituting 14% of under-five deaths, with a child succumbing every 39 seconds. Predisposing factors vary, including low birth weight, pollutants, inadequate nutrition, and low maternal education. This study aims to assess the impact of socio-demographic factors on respiratory infection severity in pediatric patients.

A cross-sectional study included 221 pediatric patients with respiratory infections, analyzing socio-demographic and lifestyle factors. Statistical methods explored relationships between socio-demographics, lifestyle, and infection severity.

Descriptive statistics showed quasi-equal gender distribution and a mean age of 4.88 years with a normal distribution. Seasonal variations had gender and environment correlations, but chi-square tests found no statistical differences. Bivariate correlations revealed significant associations between gender and hospitalization days, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin values.

This study sheds light on socio-demographic factors influencing respiratory infections in pediatric patients, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.

Young people show a high tendency to migrate abroad, with Germany and the UK being the main destinations. They see foreign migration as a way to improve their life situation. In order to keep them on the domestic labour market, competition regarding wages should be increased and flexible work should be allowed.
La compétence de communication orale à l’école primaire marocaine entre exigence et réalité
Authors: QITOUT Laïla
Published: January 2024

This research makes a return on the notion of the competence of the oral communication on the basis of a theoretical reference which draws on the sciences of language to unveil the difficulties tarnishing its teaching - learning at the Moroccan primary school. It aims to lead a reflection on the didactical approach of the oral to emphasize its shortcomings to endow the learners with discursive capacities nevertheless perceived as essential in any didactic project envisaging the acquisition of the competence of oral communication. We postulate that to explain the limits of the didactical approach of oral currently installed in the Moroccan primary school, it is interesting to stop on the acceptance that one gives to the notion of competence of communication. Our reflection, which was carried out through an examination of the different moments of implementation of this approach, shows a tendency to reduce the didactic intervention at the level of the sentence unit without taking into account the discourse as object of teaching-learning. Consequently, the discursive dimension does not constitute an issue of the so-called approach that seems to focus only on linguistic and socio-cultural capacities.
Les variétés du français dans la réception en classe de littérature francophone du secondaire au Cameroun
Authors: DEMGNE Isabelle Valérie , KOUANKEM Constantine
Published: January 2024

Reception figures prominently in French classes. This activity is based on the textbooks in the program. The pedagogical use of these textbooks reveals a proliferation of languages in contact. Borrowing from the general theory of reception, this study is based on a hundred occurrences extracted from African works used as reading manuals in French programs in Cameroon in order to exploit, analyze and interpret the varieties of French present in these works. The study of ethno-signs and socio-culturemes has enabled us to identify African phraseology and onomastics, learn through orality, and determine the didactic value of songs. Analyzing the significance of the diversity of languages in the examined works reveals a multilingual syntax which refers to a linguistic dynamism or even a questioning of linguistic purism. From these readings, there emerges a harmonious cohabitation of languages that evolve together and tolerate each other.
A Phonetic Comparative Study of Mauritian Creole Kreol and Turkish - Twin Orthography Discussed
Authors: DUYMUN-DEMIRTAŞ Naailah
Published: January 2024

Located within an interpretivist paradigm, this study seeks to demonstrate the similarities in orthography between Turkish and Mauritian Creole with regard to the presence in both of these languages of lexemes that do not have only the same pronunciation and orthography but bear the same or approximate semantic value in most cases. These similarities constitute an element of intrigue, as Turkish and Mauritian Creole are not cognate languages. Yet, this study invites a reflection on the interconnection through mutual intelligibility, of these remote languages which are geographically located far apart from each other, one on the European and Asian border and the other in the Indian Ocean. The researcher adopts a synchronic approach to analyse aspects of both Turkish and Mauritian Creole with regard to their respective lexicons. An International Phonetic Alphabet presentation illustrates the common sound patterns justifying the orthography of each language in the context of this study.

Teacher education in Sweden is facing yet another reform. On December 3rd 2008 the most recent report on the future content and organization of teacher education was presented. This proposal will have substantial consequences for the country’s teacher education institutions. The aim of the current study is to scrutinize, from a discourse theory perspective, the way in which the most recent reform of teacher education – HUT 07 – constructs and positions the ‘good’ teacher, pupil and school in relation to the ‘good’ society, or, put another way, the ideal societal picture which ‘good’ teachers and schools should provide the blueprint for. HUT 07 is studied from a historical, genealogical perspective in an attempt to trace continuity and change in the articulation of policy. The results of the study reveal, amongst other things, a close, discursive connection between the rationality of knowledge and the pupilteacher- subject articulated in HUT 07, and similar articulations made half a century earlier. It is not, however, possible to draw absolute similarities between the two reform periods, due to the fact that they are based on opposing rationalities, deriving from different societal visions and norms.
Studieförbundens institutionella förutsättningar skapar möjligheter på utbildningsmarknaden

This article is about how the Study Associations belonging to Liberal Adult Education (folkbildningen) deal with their role under New Public Management (NPM). Key issues of voluntary organizations are the ideas or the particular nature for which they were created, and which forms the basis for their activities. When introducing competitive markets these ideas risk being bent in order to meet the demands of the market, and the requirements for economic effectiveness. The organization’s interplay with the changes of the environment is highlighted through the use of the New Institutional Theory. The rhetorical analysis of the self-images of the Study Associations, as actors of the market of education, show a linguistic usage where they both point out their role as actors of the market of adult education and their ideological affiliation to “folkbildningen”. By using the traditional discourse, emphasizing pathos (emotions and values), and combining it with logos (programs to qualify the target group), the Study Associations create a special character or a profile of their education. Instead of a deinstitutionalization of the character of the Study Associations we can se a recycling of the traditional discourse in the new context

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis tantangan dan hambatan penerapan digitalisasi oleh UMKM, khususnya usaha mikro dan usaha kecil di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan Teknik analisis deskriptif kualitatif, dimana peneliti mengumpulkan informasi dan data sekunder dari berbagai sumber dan hasil penelitian dari jurnal-jurnal sebelumnya terkait dengan digitalisasi UMKM. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh informasi bahwa tantangan dan hambatan usaha mikro dan usaha kecil dalam menerapkan digitalisasi kembali pada sumber daya manusia yang memiliki pengetahuan yang masih rendah mengenai digitalisasi, rendahnya keterampilan, pengalaman, serta rendahnya minat pelaku usaha mikro dan usaha kecil untuk mau mempelajari teknologi informasi dan komunikasi, selain itu kekurangan akses terhadap sarana dan prasarana pendukung juga menjadi penghambat penerapan digitalisasi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, maka penulis memberi saran agar pemerintah melalui dinas koperasi dan UMKM agar lebih gencar dalam rangka menoptimalkan pemerataan penerapan digitalisasi terutama bagi sektor usaha mikro dan usaha kecil, yang pada akhirnya berguna untuk usaha mikro dan kecil itu sendiri agar mampu bertahan dan meningkatkan produktiviasnya di era digitalisasi ini.
