Oral Health Status of Pregnant Women and their Referral to Dentist during Antenatal Period
Authors: Asif Rabeet
Published: December 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess oral health status of pregnant women and their
referral to dentist during antenatal period.
Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Outpatient Department,
(Gynae and Obs.) Jinnah Hospital Lahore, Pakistan after ethical committee approval. The sample size
was calculated using formula for finite population and found to be 340 pregnant women who were
conveniently sampled and interviewed by using a self-administered questionnaire following verbal
and written consent. Oral health status was examined clinically using dental mirror and Michigan
probe. Scoring was done using WHO oral health assessment form for adults, 2013 including
Community periodontal index, DMFT, and Dean's fluorosis index. Data was statistically analyzed
using SPSS version 24. Chi-square test was applied to compare categorical variables (p≤ 0.05 as
significant).
Results: Total 236 (69.4%) out of 340 pregnant women had oral health problems. Only 11 (3.2%)
participants were referred by the gynaecologist to dentist for their oral health issue. Out of 236
participants, 67% had dental caries, 80.9% had gingival bleeding, 58.8% had gingival pockets, 41.7%
had loss of attachment, 1.8% had dental erosions, 63.8% had dental fluorosis and 1.5% had oral
mucosal lesions. The majority of pregnant women who participated in this study had low
socioeconomic status (mean income PKR 20300±10304.14) reported with more oral health problems.
Conclusion: As reported in this study, majority of pregnant women had oral health problems and
only few of them were referred to dentist by gynaecologist.
Temporal Analysis of Antimicrobial Susceptibility in Salmonella: A Three-Year Surveillance Study
Authors: Danish Iqbal Mariam
Published: December 2024

Objective: The study aimed to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Salmonella sp. strains
over a three-year period in a tertiary care hospital.
Methodology: It was a retrospective observational study. Electronic medical records were utilized for
data retrieval from 2017 to 2019. The study parameters included individuals of all age groups, and
genders diagnosed with typhoid based on positive blood cultures. Identification, speciation, and
antimicrobial susceptibility testing adhered to standardized protocols, with statistical analysis conducted
using SPSS 25.0.
Results: Among 769 Salmonella isolates, 709 cases were reported in 2019, making it the highest
incidence over the study period. Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains peaked in 2019, comprising
approximately 50% of cases, while multiple drug-resistant strains accounted for 25%. Notably, resistance
to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, co-trimoxazole, and ceftriaxone exhibited a consistent upward trend over the
three-year span. Ciprofloxacin demonstrated the highest resistance, with only 4% sensitivity among
Salmonella isolates.
Conclusion: The findings have highlighted a concerning escalation in antimicrobial resistance among
Salmonella Typhi strains in Punjab, Pakistan, particularly evident in the prevalence of extensively drugresistant
strains. Multi-drug and extensively drug-resistant strains of Salmonella are difficult to treat and
may give rise to even more drug resistance if not treated appropriately, leading to a vicious cycle of resistance.

This paper explores whether there is evidence for reduced input effects on differential
object marking in heritage Romanian. The 50 participants (age range 5;07 – 25;07) are all Romanian-
French bilinguals born to Romanian families living in France. The analysis of DOM use in their
narratives identified three developmental stages. Until age 7, DOM use is monolingual-like, but
during the first school years, there is a significant decrease in DOM use followed, in adulthood, by
a reversion to monolingual-like use. The adult heritage speakers use DOM similarly to Romanianspeaking
adults living in the homeland. The paper discusses these findings in relation to reduced
input effects in heritage languages. The claim is that these effects reach their peak after onset of
schooling which coincides with a decrease in input amount in the heritage language and a shift in
language dominance. The effects of reduced input can, however, be overcome in adulthood, as
long as there is continual exposure to the heritage language over time.
Straturi epice și lirice din literatura română pornind de la proza scurtă O primblare la munți de V. Alecsandri
Authors:   Institutul de Istorie și Teorie Literară „G. Călinescu“, Neagoe George-Florian
Published: December 2024

Between the two levels of Romanian prose – one folkloric and the other cult –, there is
the romantic epic works, in which the narrators, under the charade of calling on to archaic
memory, master strategies such as telling a story in a frame, qui-pro-quo and the anticlimax. An
example is O primblare la munți [A walk in the mountains] (1844) by V. Alecsandri. The four
hikers, leaving in search of a legendary portrait depicting Alexandru Lăpușneanu, which the
narrator claims to have known – from undisclosed sources – that was at a monastery founded the
Moldavian ruler, go through a series of delays. However, the declared purpose of the trip raises
some questions. A key point in the epic development of this short story is the subtle fable about a
woman who was attracted by a so-called bear. That allusion helps us to draw a series of remarks
about the euphemism on romantic relations in the writings of M. Eminescu, I. Creangă, Ion Barbu,
Mihail Sadoveanu and mostly of Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu.
Echivalențe semantice în câmpul lexical al fenomenelor atmosferice din limba română

Published: December 2024

Through the present paper, we aim to analyse and describe at the same time the
paradigmatic relationship of semantic equivalence within the terminology of atmospheric
phenomena in the Romanian language, starting from the descriptive theories of Coșeriu (2000,
2002) and Bidu-Vrănceanu (1984, 2005, 2008). The study includes the componential, semantic
and morphological analysis of a wide inventory of terms, starting from the work Dicționarul
fenomenelor atmosferice (Florescu ed., 2015). In order to follow the purpose of this study, the
terms were divided according to the typology of the equivalence relation in which they fall and
according to the way the terms are formed. We emphasize the fact that in our analysis we used the
functional categorization already displayed in DFA by language registers (scientific and popular).

In this paper we analyse four patterns attested in present-day non-standard Romanian, in
which originally “unpleasant” words, such as rău ‘bad(ly)’, bombă ‘bomb’, belea ‘trouble’, în draci
lit. ‘in devils’, etc. come to be used as expressive intensifiers/superlative markers. All these patterns have in common morphosyntactic restrictions on the words involved and a certain degree of
semantic bleaching: whereas certain intensifiers are restricted to words (particularly adjectives)
expressing negative qualities, others lose their original negative meaning, being compatible with
words expressing positive qualities. Our analysis is based on corpus study (on CoRoLa) and on a
questionnaire we applied in November 2024.

This paper discusses the significance of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as an effective teaching and learning method in classes for Romanian as a foreign language. PBL promotes active learning by immersing students in real-life scenario simulations, allowing them to discover solutions independently, with the teacher acting as a facilitator. This approach has proven particularly
beneficial in developing conversational skills, as students create dialogues based on topics relevant
to practical situations. However, PBL has been underutilized in teaching grammar, where traditional
methods predominantly involve direct instruction of rules. To address this gap, we advocate for
the integration of PBL in grammar instruction. We propose a linguistic Olympiad problem model,
wherein students receive a set of data from an unfamiliar language and must identify its grammatical
rules through critical thinking, analogy, and deduction. This method not only enhances grammatical
understanding but also fosters essential analytical skills among students.

Correlation of Difficulty in Emotional Regulation with Behavioral Problems Among Young Children in Both Private and Public Sectors Educational Institutions of Swabi
Authors: Zaman Aqsa , Khan Sheraz , Karim Abdul , Ayub Muhammad
Published: December 2024

Emotional regulation is the essential skill that enables people to control their emotions and behaviors effectively. It is crucial for young children, in particular, because they are still developing their capacity for passionate direction. The capacity to control one's emotions in a way that is both adaptive and acceptable in society is known as emotional regulation. This study used an analytical cross-sectional design to find the correlation between difficulty in emotional regulation and behavioral problems. It also used a purposive sampling technique to collect data from 400 children of both sexes at public and private schools. Most of the study participants were male, in the age range of 7-9. In regards to birth order, most of the study participants (38%) were firstborn, followed by secondborn (30%) and lastborn (26.5%); however, the only children accounted for merely 5%. The Pearson correlation test was run to find the correlation between difficulty in emotional regulation and behavioral problems in this study. The test value was 0.42, and the p-value was less than 0.05, indicating that emotional regulation difficulty positively correlates with behavioral issues. The current study's evidence strongly suggests that emotional regulation can assist in treating behavioral issues in young children. The study's findings show that emotional problems correlate negatively with emotional regulation, whereas behavioral problems correlate positively with emotional regulation difficulties. This suggests that enhancing emotional regulation may lessen behavioral issues in children.

This study explores the role of parents in supporting their disabled children's engagement in early childhood special education programs. Parents are expected to participate in several sessions and collaborate closely with special education teachers to develop individualized plans tailored to their child's needs. This research helps examine the factors that influenced and restricted parental engagement by various obstacles, including societal challenges, parent-teacher dynamics, children, and families. This study investigates the role of parental involvement in the education of children with disabilities, focusing on three primary objectives: (1) to examine the extent and nature of parental responsibilities in supporting their children's educational needs, (2) to explore how parental involvement influences engagement and participation in educational activities, and (3) to identify the factors that impact parental engagement and support for special education. Using a quantitative research design, the research examines the relationship between socioeconomic factors, parental involvement, and children's access to and participation in special education services. A correlational research design was employed to analyze quantitative data collected from 120 parents through structured questionnaires. The study's findings emphasize that are actively involved in their children's educational experiences; they can assist their children in flourishing by supplying them with the resources necessary to achieve academic and social success.

The present study investigated the relationship of gullibility, self-esteem, and emotional self-disclosure (ESD) among institutionalized orphans. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of self-esteem in gullibility(unsuspecting) and emotional self-disclosure (anxiety, fear). In addition, the mediating role of self-esteem was explored. A sample of 100 orphans (50 boys, 50 girls) were selected through a purposive sampling strategy, aged 12-18 years (M=15.29, SD=1.68) from four orphanages in Lahore. The research instruments used were The gullibility scale (Alessandra, 2016), the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965), and the Emotional self-disclosure scale (Snell et al., 2013). Results revealed a significant negative relationship between gullibility and self-esteem. Moreover, a significant positive relationship was found between gullibility and emotional self-disclosure. Results also revealed a significant negative relationship between self-esteem and emotional self-disclosure (depression, anxiety, and fear). The mediation analysis showed that the relationship between gullibility(unsuspecting) and emotional self-disclosure (anxiety and fear) among institutionalized orphans was significantly mediated by self-esteem. Therefore, further studies are needed to investigate and understand their level of gullibility and to promote quality for this vulnerable group of adolescents closely. Such findings will facilitate an understanding of the psychological health problems faced by adolescent orphans residing in orphanages.

Temporal Analysis of Cellular and Molecular Response-Driven Ground Reaction Forces in Predicting Volleyball Spike Jump Height: Insight for Optimizing Spike Jump Performance
Authors: Dong Maolin , Wang Junsig , Guo Weishuai , Kim Youngsuk , Li Bairan , Kim Sukwon
Published: December 2024

Ground reaction force (GRF) during jumping, which is an outcome of the complex cellular and molecular biomechanical processes within the lower limb, reflects the interaction of the lower limb with the ground. Previous studies, however, have been restricted to analyzing only the peak kinetics, overlooking the moment when the peak occurs and other essential details beyond the peak. Thus, the objective of our study was to explore the relationship between the full time series of GRF and jump height during volleyball spike jumps, considering the underlying cellular and molecular biomechanical mechanisms. Data on the kinematics and kinetics of 22 elite male (mean age: 21.56 years) collegiate volleyball players’ spike jumps were gathered via a motion capture system comprising 13 high-speed cameras and 2 force plates. Then, we analyzed the association between the full ground reaction force time series and jump height using statistical parameter mapping (SPM) regression. The results of the study demonstrated that the horizontal GRF of the dominant foot was significantly related to jump height in the 23%–80% interval of dominant foot contact (DFC) with the force plate to take-off (TO). This association is likely due to the coordinated activation and contraction of specific muscle cells and molecular signaling pathways within the lower limb muscles that govern force generation and transmission. The vertical GRF of the dominant foot was significantly associated with jump height in the 29%–35% and 80%–94% intervals of DFC to TO, which could be attributed to the differential recruitment and activity of muscle fibers at the cellular and molecular levels. Similarly, the non-dominant foot was significantly associated with jump height in the 48%–63% interval of non-dominant foot contact (NFC) with the force plate to TO. These data emphasize the significance of enhancing lower limb muscle capacity through interventions that target the cellular and molecular biomechanical aspects, in order to improve jumping technique and overall performance.
Heavy Metals Contamination in Surface Water Due to Intensive Agricultural Chemical Use: A Case Study of the Hantu River in the Vicinity of Oil Palm Plantations, Banyuasin Sumatera Selatan Indonesia

Published: December 2024

Water pollution is a serious issue that requires immediate attention, especially when the water serves as a source for household activities. The consequences, such as health disorders or death, may occur if contaminated water is consumed continuously. Polluted water often contains various types of heavy metals. This study highlights changes in the water quality of the Hantu River, located near private oil palm plantations, focusing on the analysis of heavy metal contamination suspected to be present in the river water. The research was conducted by collecting water samples from the upstream and downstream sections of the river, followed by testing using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) method to measure heavy metal concentrations. The parameters assessed included heavy metals such as iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and zinc (Zn). The results showed fluctuations in Fe and Zn contamination during the study period, while Mn and Hg contamination remained consistent each year. However, a startling finding was the concentration of Cd and Pb, which exceeded drinking water quality standards by 200%. This fact rendered the surface water unsuitable for consumption. It is suspected that the contamination occurred due to the use of materials for pest control (pesticides), weed control (herbicides), and the massive and continuous application of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) during the 2019–2023 period. Regression models indicated a significant relationship between the use of pesticides, herbicides, and POME with contamination levels, accounting for 89.6% of Cd pollution and 92.3% of Pb pollution in the water. These findings demonstrate the impact of pesticides, herbicides, and POME on water quality concerning heavy metal pollution parameters. Therefore, managing the use of pollution sources and continuously monitoring water quality are essential to prevent and detect potential pollution in the future.

Published: December 2024

Diversity encompasses a spectrum of attributes beyond immediately visible characteristics such as age, gender, and race, including less apparent factors like religion, education, and personality types. Managing these diverse visible and invisible characteristics through managerial practices and approaches can enhance employees' perceived organizational climate that, in turn, leads to many work-related positive outcomes. This study employs a cross-sectional survey design to examine the impact of diversity management on organizational climate. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to administrative employees in Konya's 2nd Industrial Zone in central Turkey. From a population of 1,050 employees, 300 randomly selected respondents completed the questionnaire. After screening for completeness and removing duplicates, 273 responses were validated for analysis using regression statistical tests in SPSS. The findings reveal that diversity management significantly positively affects employees' perceived organizational climate. Multiple regression analysis confirms that organizational policies, practices, and procedures designed to embrace diversity positively influence employees' perceptions of the organizational climate. The study concludes with practical recommendations for managers, acknowledges limitations, and suggests directions for future research.

New Inhibitors Predicted for Plasmodium Falciparum Erythrocyte Membrane Protein1 (PfEMP1)
Authors: Wahab Abdul , Shehzad Adnan , Ayesha Bibi , Rahman Hamid Ur
Published: December 2024

Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by several Plasmodium species. It poses a substantial global health burden, infecting approximately 300 million individuals and resulting in over one million mortalities annually. The primary mode of infection occurs through the transmission of sporozoites by infected mosquitoes during blood feeding. Historically, quinine and chloroquine were employed as antimalarial agents during World War II, but the emergence of drug resistance, exacerbated by climate change and irregular treatment adherence, has necessitated the identification of novel therapeutic alternatives. Antimalarial drug resistance has been reported in Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, with varying degrees in different geographical regions. This study aimed to discover alternative drugs by targeting PfEMP1, a key protein that is involved in cytoadhesion and implicated in malaria pathogenesis. Inhibition of the active sites of this protein would result in the disruption of the parasite’s lifecycle. Through insilico drug analysis, four potential inhibitors of PfEMP1 were identified: vancomycin, ofloxacin, febuxostat, and viomycin. Further experimental validation is required to confirm the efficacy of these compounds as alternative treatments for malaria.
The ISO 37008 Internal investigation standard framework and what this means for financial services institutions
Authors: Young Steve , Scales Simon
Published: December 2024

ISO 37008 provides companies with a way to standardise their reporting and investigations protocols while providing a framework to tailor these processes to manage key requirements in new and existing compliance and ESG regulations. The Association of Corporate Investigators (ACi) played an integral part in developing this ISO 37008 ‘Internal Investigations of Organizations — Guidance’, which looks at the full cycle of an internal investigation for organisations. It covers the establishment of investigative policies and procedures, implementation of the investigation process, the reporting of the investigation result and the performance of remedial measures. Readers will see that financial services institutions of all types and sizes may have occasions where they want to set up an internal investigation. This may be necessitated by matters coming to their attention that require immediate response and include internal misconduct, significant financial irregularity and risk, together with compliance breaches. An internal investigation which is properly carried out may help organisations negate or mitigate the effects, and with the foresight gained through an investigation, an organisation can then develop timely remedial measures to resolve these breaches. This ISO standard lays out the essential aspects of an internal investigation with a view to practical application and overlays the ACi Investigation Principles. Drafted generically, it can be tailored to meet different organisational needs, and a detailed case study helps to guide readers through the benefits of setting up a well-rounded investigative process ready to be deployed when breaches happen.
Deriving consumer insights with segmentation for identity and consent
Authors: Castricone Pamela , Long Lucas
Published: December 2024

The emerging privacy landscape is placing constraints on how consumer data can be collected and processed, especially for advertising use cases. Given the privacy-centric environment, organisations should approach their first party consumer data through the lens of what can be done with the data. This paper proposes a framework for segmenting consumer data based on identity and consent state, with strategies to derive the most consumer insights possible from each. Strategies focus on the role of data modelling in uncovering insights from first party data, and various modelling techniques are explored, including customer lifetime value modelling, propensity modelling, regression-based attribution and aggregate data modelling. By adopting a privacy-centric approach to data collection and leveraging advanced modelling techniques, organisations can gain valuable insights into consumer behaviour, optimise marketing and advertising efforts, and thrive in the evolving landscape of consumer data analysis.

Authors: Velázquez Chacón Wilver , Matos Batista Yenisleydis
Published: December 2024

Se presenta el caso de una joven de 27 años, en el curso de su primer embarazo, con 27 semanas de gestación, portadora de un Síndrome de Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber (KTSW), no diagnosticado  previamente a su captación, tratada de forma convencional hasta su primera valoración en consulta de angiología. La evaluación ulterior permitió reconocer la aparición de desproporciones estructurales de todo el hemicuerpo izquierdo, así como en región facial, miembros superiores e inferiores, de columna vertebral y la presencia de angioma plano extenso con dilataciones venosas marcadas en miembro inferior izquierdo. El objetivo del estudio consiste en brindar un acercamiento al diagnóstico interdisciplinario ante esta displasia vascular en periodo gestacional. La presentación de esta afección en las gestantes determina conductas bien dirigidas desde la concepción hasta su desenlace final si fuese necesario. Se concluye que el SKTW es una enfermedad extremadamente rara e infrecuente en nuestro medio y con gran dificultad diagnóstica, por lo que ante la presencia de algún hemangioma asociado con desproporciones entre las extremidades, con dilataciones varicosas atípicas en cualquier parte del cuerpo, se debe evaluar interdisciplinariamente y conducir a tiempo a la paciente hacia el especialista para orientar su adecuada conducta.Palabras clave: Síndrome de Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber; malformaciones vasculares; deformidades; embarazo. AbstractThe case of a 27-year-old woman in her first pregnancy, at 27 weeks´ gestation, and carrier of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTSW) syndrome is presented. The patient had not previously been diagnosed at the first internal vaginal examination and had been treated conventionally until she was seen for assessment in the angiology consultation. Further evaluation allowed recognizing the appearance of structural disproportions of the entire left side of the body as well as in the facial region, upper and lower limbs, spine and the presence of extensive flat angiomawith marked dilated veins in the left lower limb. The aim of the study is to provide an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis in this vascular dysplasia during gestation. The presentation of this condition in pregnant women determines well-directed behaviors from conception to delivery, if it were necessary. It is concluded that SKTW is an extremely rare and uncommon condition in our environment and with great diagnostic difficulty, so in the presence of an associated hemangioma with disproportion between the limbs, atypical varicose dilations anywhere in the body, it should be evaluated interdisciplinary and the patient should be referred to a specialist to take the appropriate management.Keywords: Klippel-Trénaunay-Weber Syndrome; vascular malformations; deformities; pregnancy.
