Authors: Jakarias  , Dedi Apolonaris
Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini mengkaji tradisi Baremah Adat Binua Dait suku Dayak di Dusun Bareh, Kalimantan Barat, serta integrasinya dengan ajaran Katolik dalam konteks Gaudium et Spes Art. 40. Latar belakang penelitian ini berawal dari interaksi antara budaya lokal dan agama Katolik di kalangan masyarakat Dayak, yang telah lama menjalankan tradisi Baremah sebagai bagian dari identitas budaya mereka. Masalah yang diangkat adalah bagaimana elemen-elemen budaya Baremah diadaptasi dalam kerangka iman Katolik, terutama dalam perspektif inkulturasi yang dinyatakan dokumen Gaudium et Spes. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami proses sinkretisme yang terjadi antara tradisi Dayak dan agama Katolik. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan wawancara, observasi, dan analisis dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berbagai aspek tradisi Baremah telah disesuaikan dengan ajaran Katolik, seperti penggunaan istilah "Jubata" yang diakui sebagai Tuhan dalam konteks Katolik. Proses ini mencerminkan dinamika sinkretisme yang mencakup dialog dan adaptasi antara budaya lokal dan ajaran agama. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan tentang bagaimana identitas budaya dapat dipertahankan dalam konteks agama baru, serta dampak sinkretisme terhadap pengalaman religius masyarakat Dayak.

Published: November 2024

Waktu berubah, dan manusia pun ikut berubah. Ungkapan ini tetap aktual hingga kini, di mana manusia disadarkan akan hubungan erat antara waktu dan kreativitas. Dalam bingkai kehidupan sosial, pepatah ini menekankan bahwa dalam perjalanan hidup, cara-cara manusia mengekspresikan diri juga berkembang, yang pada gilirannya mempengaruhi usaha mereka untuk mencari makna yang berkaitan dengan diri, orang lain, alam, dan Tuhan. Kenyataan ini menunjukkan bahwa manusia adalah makhluk berbudaya yang mampu menciptakan kebudayaan. Berkaitan dengan hal ini, tema yang diangkat dalam tulisan ini adalah "Makna Simbol Hau Monef bagi Masyarakat Timor-Suku Dawan." Penulis memilih tema ini karena melihat bahwa masyarakat Suku Dawan, terutama generasi muda, kurang memiliki kebiasaan untuk mencari tahu makna di balik setiap simbol dalam budaya mereka. Dengan demikian, tulisan ini diharapkan dapat membantu masyarakat Suku Dawan memahami makna di balik setiap simbol kebudayaan, terutama Hau Monef. Metode yang digunakan penulis adalah metode kepustakaan dan pengetahuan penulis, dengan merujuk pada berbagai sumber yang berkaitan dengan kebudayaan untuk penyempurnaan tulisan ini.

AS DIFICULDADES DE INCLUSÃO DAS PESSOAS EM VULNERABILIDADE SOCIAL AO JUDICIÁRIO. UMA ANÁLISE DA EFETIVIDADE DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE ACESSO À JUSTIÇA E DO FUNCIONAMENTO DA DEFENSORIA PÚBLICA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO
Authors: Gibrail Felipe , Mariano Júnior Raul
Published: November 2024

This article aims to investigate the challenges of ensuring access to justice for groups in social vulnerability. Based on Article 5 of the Federal Constitution, section XXXV, which guarantees access to justice as a constitutional principle, the role of the Public Defender's Office in the implementation of the rights of vulnerable groups is explored, as well as the emergence of a new group during the COVID-19 pandemic: the digital vulnerable. The issues encountered during the pandemic are also addressed in relation to the informatization of the legal system. Using a dialectical and inductive methodology, through bibliographic research, it was possible to question the application of rights for people in vulnerable situations and conclude that the pandemic exposed the lack of guarantee of fundamental rights for a portion of the population, with the State needing to ensure that the Public Defender’s Office fulfills its role of guaranteeing equal access to justice.

Published: November 2024

In recent years, technology has become essential in the educational landscape, as it has significantly transformed the way students 'learn' and how teachers 'teach'. This duality points to the process and insertion of technology in/for education – mainly by highlighting benefits, challenges and impacts on educational theoretical conceptions, as well as on the practices instituted in the pedagogical context. In this way, we sought to revisit not only the pertinent literature, but also to discuss the technological dimensions and their roles in learning, engagements, skills and, above all, to understand that 'access to digital information' is a dual sphere that requires learning new challenges, 'breaking paradigms' and accepting the risks imposed in the continuing education of teachers. Thus, the present text points out possibilities, even if theoretical, capable of providing opportunities for theory and practice of the digital world that, as far as possible, facilitates the educational process as a tool to transform the challenges incorporated into teaching in the modern world.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the functional capacity of older practitioners of Pilates and aerobics through the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). METHODS: This is a quantitative study, a population-based composed of 18 elderly 9 group pilates and 9 group water aerobics, which form collected anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation and then applied the test being carried out test at the beginning of training where all participants are returning from vacation and a second test after four weeks of training, the results were obtained by formula developed by Enright & Sherrill, where they were analyzed descriptively because it is a small sample exposed in tables . RESULTS: The results indicate that both groups showed an improvement both in the post-training and in pre-training, but the average presented by the Pilates group both pre-training, as post-training to show more than the aerobics group presents average pre-training and post-training. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the Pilates group is more efficient than the aerobics group, taking into account that factors such as age, weight and height can directly influence the outcome of the six-minute walk test, since older age high above weight and a high BMI tend to have greater difficulty in getting adversely affecting the test results.
O CONCEITO DE LOGOS NA TEOLOGIA JOANINA
Authors: Belo Adaías Souza
Published: November 2024

Este artigo busca explorar o conceito de logos na teologia de João, analisando seu papel como fundamento cristológico e chave interpretativa do evangelho. O termo grego logos — traduzido como "Verbo" ou "Palavra" —, tal como utilizado e reelaborado por João, apresenta Jesus Cristo como a revelação divina plena, mediando a criação e a redenção, isto é, a partir de uma manifestação humana do verbo, algo que exploraremos no decorrer do presente texto. De modo mais preciso, é imprescindível destacar que o conceito de logos é um dos elementos mais ricos e complexos da teologia joanina, sendo introduzido logo no prólogo do Evangelho: "No princípio era o Verbo, e o Verbo estava com Deus, e o Verbo era Deus" (Jo 1:1). Essa passagem destaca Jesus como a manifestação do próprio Deus e relaciona-o com a criação, uma conexão que remonta a Gênesis 1, onde Deus cria por meio de sua palavra, e que, para além disso, segundo João, estabelece uma dimensão existencial humana.
MOBILIDADE FUNCIONAL E COGNITIVA EM IDOSOS: REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Morais Alexandre Agostinho , Bernardes Layla
Published: November 2024

Population aging is a global phenomenon, and estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that, in about three decades, the number of elderly people will be equivalent to that of children. The terms aging or senescence have been used interchangeably to define the post-maturational process, responsible for the decrease in homeostasis and increased vulnerability of the organism. Senescence is responsible for some physiological changes in the neuromuscular system, which leads to a decrease in muscle strength and function. Elderly individuals experience a functional decline due to the decrease in their physiological reserve, which causes a reduction in motor performance in carrying out activities of daily living, which is well observed in relation to manual ability or fine motor coordination. The assessment of the mobility conditions of elderly people is of significant scientific and social importance, as it enables the implementation of effective interventions to promote the well-being of elderly people. Among the benefits of physical exercise for elderly people, the following stand out: improved functional capacity, balance, muscle strength, flexibility, coordination and speed of movement. In the context of physical-functional training, the incorrect use of the terms “flexibility” and “mobility” can create several difficulties in the assessment, prescription and guidance of training. In fact, there are specific exercises that can promote flexibility, while others improve mobility, depending on the goals and needs of the beneficiary/patient/athlete. Physical therapy plays a fundamental role in preventing falls, since it promotes the improvement of motor skills and balance, in addition to offering guidance to patients and their caregivers, aiming to eliminate or reduce risk factors. Some of these exercises that are worked on include three levels of approach: primary, secondary and tertiary. Initially, at the primary level, regular practice of physical exercises can, in essence, prevent the onset of several diseases and disabilities, minimizing the risk of incapacity and falls. The secondary level, on the other hand, aims to minimize the progression of the disability resulting from the disease. Finally, the last level, the tertiary level, aims to restore functionality to a standard that allows the greatest possible autonomy in carrying out daily activities for those elderly individuals who have an irreversible level of impairment. The study aims to present an integrative review on functional mobility and cognition in the elderly. This study is an integrative review of publications indexed in the databases. The study concluded that physiotherapy plays an important role in functional and cognitive mobility in the elderly, as it can provide improvements in motor skills and balance, in addition to providing guidance to patients and their caregivers, eliminating or minimizing risk factors.

MUTUAL CAUSALITY OF CULTURE AND POWER IN ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: JANIĆIJEVIĆ Nebojša , MILOVANOVIĆ Miloš
Published: November 2024

The aim of this paper is to explore mutual causality of organizational culture and power in organizations. Based on the knowledge of the content and nature of organizational culture, as well as of the sources and forms of power in organizations, the paper hypothesizes about the nature and direction of their mutual influence. The main finding of the paper is that culture legitimizes power, while power instrumentalizes culture within organization. The analysis starts with two types of power in organizations: resource and interpretative. Resource power is based on the control over the scarce resources, while interpretive power is based on the control over the interpretative schemes, and thereby also over the organization members’ perception, interpretation, and concluding. The conclusion of the paper is that organizational culture influences the power in the organization by means of legitimising the critical resources controlled the superior individuals and groups in the organization who thereby gain resource power. On the one hand, which resource will be perceived as critical, it depends on the collective assumptions, values, norms, and attitudes (that compose the organizational culture’s content), and this also determines which individual and group will have the power based on the control over that resource. On the other hand, the power instrumentalizes the culture by having the superior individuals and groups impose certain assumptions, values, norms, and attitudes to the organization members in order to create interpretative power. Thereby, powerful individuals and groups use the culture as the means to gaining power. Through the process of perpetuation of power, the mutual causality between organizational culture and power in the organization is being even more intensified.
NEW EDUCATIONAL CONCEPTS IN THE REFORMED HISTORY TEACHING IN SERBIA
Authors: Šuica Marko , Radaković Ana
Published: November 2024

History curricula for secondary schools in Serbia were under alteration from 2018 to 2020. The new curricula concept is aiming to change the learning paradigm from content-oriented to outcome/ competence-oriented curricula. It was planned that new national history curricula should rest upon the key competences for lifelong learning, as well as the specific subject competences, but also on competences for democratic culture (Council of Europe 2016). Curricula developers took into consideration parts of the recently adopted document by the Council of Europe (Principles and guidelines for quality history education in the 21st century, Strasbourg 2018) that could direct education policymakers, history teachers, educators, curricula designers and textbook authors to the possible answers for possible resolutions of different challenges imposed to the contemporary history education. In the paper, it will be explained how the currently existing chronological linear concept is combined with the new one that encloses a thematic approach reflecting those historical phenomena that could foster the development of critical and historical thinking skills as well as forenamed competences. Furthermore, this article will examine whether and to what extent teachers are trained to plan and develop educational activities following the needs and aims of this way organized curriculum.

Leveraging VR in the Age of the Metaverse: Opportunities and Challenges in Private Pilot Licence Training
Authors: Ehambaranathan Eswaranathan , Murugasu Shagesheela , O’Connor Stephen
Published: November 2024

In the age of the Metaverse, Virtual Reality (VR) training could enhance facilitation of the Aeroplane Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training. Hence, the research objective of this study revolves around the opportunities and challenges faced by pilot trainees while utilising medium-fidelity VR during PPL training. The qualitative research methodology aligned with the ontological perspective that emphasised subjectivism. The epistemological framework has been based on the interpretivism paradigm. This research employed a grounded theory technique and utilised semi-structured interviews as the primary data collection method. The findings derived from thematic analysis suggest that a significant proportion of pilot trainees agree with VR's efficacy in theoretical instruction, pre-flight aeroplane inspection, and procedure training. However, the trainees shared their isolating experiences and challenges in acquiring specific competencies and issues developing their motor skills while using VR. These findings are anticipated to be utilised to develop VR instructional frameworks that could facilitate future PPL training

Authors:   B.Sc and M.Sc in Food and Nutrition , University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, Siddika Mahmuda Afroz , Chakraborty Devayan ,   PGD in Supply Chain Management, Melbourne Metropolitan College, Australia
Published: November 2024

Nutrition is a cornerstone of early childhood development, influencing cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional growth, and shaping long-term educational outcomes. This systematic review, based on 45 peer-reviewed studies, follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to examine the impact of nutritional interventions on educational metrics in children aged 0–8 years. The findings reveal that micronutrient supplementation, particularly iron, iodine, and zinc, significantly enhances cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving. School meal programs demonstrate dual benefits by improving nutritional intake and academic performance, particularly in marginalized communities. Longitudinal studies highlight the enduring effects of early nutritional interventions, showing improvements in educational attainment and socio-economic mobility. However, socio-economic determinants, such as household income, parental education, and food security, continue to perpetuate disparities in nutritional access and educational opportunities. The review also identifies significant challenges in implementing and sustaining nutritional policies, including logistical barriers and funding constraints, while highlighting innovative solutions such as technology-driven interventions and community-based approaches. This study underscores the necessity of integrating nutrition-focused programs with educational and socio-economic policies to address systemic inequalities and improve outcomes for children globally. Future research should explore the intergenerational impacts of nutritional interventions and leverage technological advancements for scalable and sustainable solutions.
The Analysis Study of Effect of Dietary Stearidonic Acid on Biomarkers of Lipid Metabolism: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
Authors: Raudha Kasmir  , Putri Sakti Dwi Permanasari
Published: November 2024

Introduction: The role of dietary oils rich in specific fatty acids, such as stearidonic acid (SDA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has been extensively studied for their effects on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. This study aims to evaluate the impact of these oils on lipid profiles, fatty acid composition, and metabolic outcomes in various populations. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by analyzing randomized controlled trials (RCTs), crossover studies, and experimental designs involving SDA, EPA, and DHA. Parameters assessed included changes in lipid profiles, EPA and DHA levels in erythrocytes, and other metabolic markers. Bias was evaluated across seven domains: temporal precedence, selection/allocation, confounding, administration of interventions, outcome assessment, participant retention, and statistical conclusion validity. Results: The studies demonstrated variable but significant increases in EPA levels across dietary oils, with SDA-rich oils showing moderate efficiency compared to EPA. DHA levels remained largely unaffected by SDA supplementation. Improvements in triglyceride levels and LDL cholesterol were observed, though some studies reported reductions in HDL cholesterol. Study quality was generally high, but some biases were noted in participant retention and detailed reporting of outcomes. Conclusion: Dietary oils rich in SDA and EPA effectively improve EPA status and influence lipid metabolism. However, their efficacy compared to direct EPA supplementation remains limited. Future studies should address biases and explore long-term clinical benefits.

Authors: Jochebet Irene  , Ciho Olfriani
Published: November 2024

Background: Indonesia ranks fourth globally in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) prevalence, with a mortality rate of 4.8 per 100,000—higher than malaria. Despite global progress in RHD management, Indonesia lacks a comprehensive national prevention program. Secondary prevention strategies could significantly improve outcomes in high-risk populations by targeting disease progression. Method: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the impact of secondary prevention on echocardiographic outcomes in Indonesian RHD patients. The review included randomized controlled trials, observational studies, quasi-experimental designs, and case-control studies, emphasizing the role of secondary prevention in mitigating disease progression. Results: Six studies meeting inclusion criteria underwent full-text analysis, with four eligible for meta-analysis. These studies revealed that secondary prevention improved echocardiographic markers, demonstrating its potential to alter disease trajectories in resource-limited settings. Conclusion: Indonesia faces challenges in RHD management due to geographical and healthcare constraints. Echocardiographic screening, a sensitive and specific diagnostic tool, is vital for early detection and monitoring. With technological advancements, cost-effective screening is increasingly feasible, even in remote areas. Strengthening early detection, targeted screening, and secondary prevention strategies is critical for reducing the RHD burden in Indonesia.
Understanding EFL Teachers’ Occupational Anxiety under Double Reduction Policy
Authors: Zhou Brandy Hongyu
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the impact of China’s Double Reduction policy on the occupational anxiety (OA) and well-being of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in secondary schools in Shenzhen. Through interviews with six EFL teachers, the research identifies three main sources of increased workload: the introduction of after-school services, changes in homework design, and the expansion of teaching content. The findings reveal that these changes have led to significant stress, role ambiguity, and pressure from both parents and educational institutions. Despite the policy’s intent to reduce student workload, teachers reported an increase in their responsibilities, resulting in heightened OA and job dissatisfaction. The study also explores coping strategies, such as rest, relaxation, and institutional support like collective lesson planning and flexible work arrangements. However, it underscores the importance of systemic interventions, including professional development and clear policy implementation, to alleviate teacher stress. The research highlights the critical need for comprehensive support systems to safeguard teacher well-being and ensure the effective implementation of educational reforms.

Authors: Omer Tagwa Yousif
Published: November 2024

The global shortage of nursing professionals and increasing healthcare demands, mandates the importance of providing newly qualified nurses with the necessary clinical skills, confidence, and adequate support during their transition from student to professional nurse. Transition of newly graduate nurse to professional practice is challenging and considered as a period of stress, role adjustment and shock reality. The aim of this study is to explore the internship year as a transition period for graduate nurse to professional nurse. Methodology: A longitudinal prospective Cross-Sectional quantitative study included 88 newly graduate nurses throughout the internship year were included using a survey. Result: New graduate nurses indicated that they do not feel comfortable performing independently some of the complex skills or procedure. The sequence of the means of the five sub-scale of the Comfort and Confidence scale were the same in Phase I and II. Support was the highest score followed by professional satisfaction, organizing and prioritizing, then communication and leadership, and last was stress. Results also revealed a highly significant difference between the two phases of internship year. Source of stress was mainly due to transportation, family issues, and job performance. There were significant differences identified in those three factors. It was found that there was different between phase I and II regarding factors that lead to job satisfaction (P < 0.01). Conclusions: This study highlights the need for healthcare and educational organizations to offer necessary support and resources to new graduate nurses during their transition into professional practice.. By addressing areas where new graduate nurses feel less confident and providing opportunities for ongoing learning and feedback, organizations can help new nurses build the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to provide safe, high quality, and effective patient care.
OPT-STVIT: Video Recognition through Optimized Spatial-Temporal Video Vision Transformers
Authors: Nimma Dr. Divya , Uddagiri Arjun
Published: November 2024

In this paper, we address the computational chal- lenges associated with video recognition tasks, where video transformers have shown impressive results but come with high computational costs. We introduce Opt-STViT, a token selection framework that dynamically chooses a subset of informative tokens in both temporal and spatial dimensions based on the input video samples. Specifically, we frame token selection as a ranking problem, leveraging a lightweight scorer network to estimate the importance of each token. Only tokens with top scores are retained for downstream processing. In the temporal dimension, we identify and keep the frames most relevant to the action categories, while in the spatial dimension, we pinpoint the most discriminative regions in feature maps without affecting the spatial context used hierarchically in most video transformers. To enable end-to-end training despite the non-differentiable nature of token selection, we employ a perturbed-maximum-based dif- ferentiable Top-K operator. Our extensive experiments, primar- ily conducted on the Kinetics-400 and something-something-V2 datasets using the recently introduced MViT video transformer backbone, demonstrate that our framework achieves similar results while requiring 20 percent less computational resources. We also establish the versatility of our approach across different transformer architectures and video datasets.
Levene's Test for Verifying Homoscedasticity Between Groups in Quasi-Experiments in Social Sciences
Authors: Ojeda César Augusto Cardeña
Published: November 2024

One of the most used quantitative research designs in the social sciences field is the quasi-experiment with an experimental group and a control group. Its widespread use can be explained, on one hand, by the fact that this design offers greater internal control than pre-experimental designs, which lack a control group. On the other hand, it poses fewer methodological challenges compared to true experiments, whose operational demands often exceed or do not align with the natural behavior of groups in educational populations. Given its prevalence in research studies, it is important to highlight that one of the weaknesses of this design lies precisely in the determination of the treatment and control groups. These groups are often selected based on the researcher's convenience or even inferred through common sense, that is, without a scientifically valid criterion. To address this issue, this article presents Levene's test as an option for verifying homoscedasticity between these two groups, which can contribute to methodological rigor in this aspect that substantially impacts the internal validity of the research findings.

This study examines CKD-MBD profiles and phenotypes to guide intervention strategies.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, from August to October 2023, involving 111 haemodialysis patients. Data collected included demographic characteristics, CKD etiology, nutritional status, and bone mineral markers (calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D3). Statistical analyses are used to assess relationships between bone mineral biochemistry and factors like age, dialysis duration, and diabetes presence.Results: The study found a balanced gender distribution and median age consistent with global CKD trends. Hypertension was the most common CKD cause (48.6%). The prevalence of high turnover, low turnover, and mixed turnover is 54.95%, 23.42%, and 21.62%, respectively. Longer dialysis duration and absence of diabetes correlated with higher levels of calcium, iPTH, and ALP. Older patients showed significantly lower iPTH and ALP levels.Conclusions: CKD-MBD in chronic haemodialysis patients shows varied and complex patterns, highlighting the need for personalized treatment approaches.

Introduction: Steven Johnson syndrome is a hypersensitivity reaction with rare, acute and life-threatening symptoms of skin and mucosal epidermolysis with 1 to 6 cases per 1 million cases annually. Case: A 2-year-old boy with complaints of vesicles on the back and abdomen that itch and sting accompanied by sores on the lips and genitals since 3 days ago. Patient's history of taking Amoxicillin, Guainefenesin, CTM, and Paracetamol. The patient had experienced the same complaint twice after being given the same medicine. Discussion: boys under the age of 3 years are very rarely found SSJ because SSJ is a slow type of hypersensitivity. Although rare in pediatric cases SSJ is found to have a higher mortality rate. Conclusion: Steven Johnson syndrome is a potentially life-threatening skin case. Cases of SSJ in children under 3 years of age are very rare because they are rarely exposed to drugs and are more often found in women.

Background: Nutritional problems among children, especially in developing countries, remain a significant concern. Stunting, underweight, and malnutrition are prevalent due to inadequate dietary intake and poor maternal education. Mobile learning (m-learning) applications have emerged as potential tools to enhance maternal knowledge and improve child nutrition. This study systematically reviews existing literature to assess the impact of m-learning applications on changing maternal behavior in the provision of food for children.Method: This systematic literature review follows the PRISMA guidelines. The review was conducted in August 2024, covering studies published from 2014 to 2024. Databases including Scopus, PubMed, and Crossref were searched using relevant keywords. A total of 348 articles were identified, with 30 meeting the inclusion criteria for final analysis. The selected studies were analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of m-learning applications in altering maternal behavior related to food provision.Results: The review indicates that m-learning applications significantly enhance maternal knowledge and positively influence food provision behaviors. However, the effectiveness of these applications is influenced by factors such as socio-economic status, cultural context, and the usability of the application. Personalized feedback, community support, and interactive features within the applications are crucial for achieving behavior change.Conclusions: M-learning applications hold substantial potential for improving maternal behavior in food provision, thereby enhancing child nutrition. Future developments should focus on culturally relevant content, user-friendly interfaces, and integrating community support mechanisms to maximize the effectiveness of these interventions.

The importance of periodontal health is being emphasized worldwide, highlighting the need for effective oral hygiene practices. Miswak (Salvadora persica) is a traditional tool with potential oral health benefits. This study aims to review and assess the evidence regarding the effectiveness of Miswak for maintaining periodontal health. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including Wiley, SCOPUS, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library, focusing on studies published from 2019 to 2024. The search was methodically carried out to ensure thorough coverage. Inclusion criteria consisted of English-language, peer-reviewed studies that assessed the impact of Salvadora persica (Miswak) on oral health, specifically concerning periodontal disease or periodontitis, as directly addressed in original research publications, systematic reviews, or clinical trials published in English. Exclusion criteria involved editorials, opinion pieces, references unrelated to Salvadora persica's effects on oral health, and references not available in full text. A total of 97 studies were screened, yielding five eligible studies: one systematic review and meta-analysis, three randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and one randomized crossover trial. Across the reviewed studies, Miswak demonstrated notable effectiveness in controlling plaque and gingivitis compared to standard oral hygiene methods. The studies collectively demonstrate the effectiveness of Salvadora persica (Miswak) as an oral hygiene tool, particularly in reducing plaque and gingivitis. In several instances, Miswak performed better than traditional toothbrushes, as seen in plaque reduction and improvements in gingival health metrics.
Beyond Tradition: A study of relationship evolution in Millennials and Gen Z

Published: November 2024

This paper examines the generational gaps that are observed in the pair bonding patterns of Gen Z and Millennials and how two of these younger generations are getting ahead of their parental generation in redefining their romantic and intimate relationships. As the socio-cultural environment has transformed radically over the last few decades, it has weakened the assumptions that existed about traditional interpersonal interactions, and the two generations have more inclination towards technological mediated fluid relationships. To collect the insights from both generations, a survey was conducted in Jaipur by using a quantitative research design. The results that we have obtained indicate that technology, shifting career priorities and changes in social behaviour have led these generations to build a more flexible lifestyle that transcends the traditional notions of relationships. From the data of our survey, we concluded that Millennials mostly prefer traditional relationships as compared to Generation Z, who are more open to non-traditional relationships like open relationships.
