The Impact of Quantum Computing on Cryptographic Systems: Urgency of Quantum-Resistant Algorithms and Practical Applications in Cryptography
Authors: Gitonga Charles Kinyua
Published: January 2025

Quantum computing presents computational powers previously thought unattainable. This brings severe threats to classical cryptographic methods, especially RSA and ECC. This paper addresses these risks through a detailed investigation of quantum-resistant algorithms, focusing on lattice- based (CRYSTALS-Kyber), hash-based (SPHINCS+), and code-based (McEliece) systems. Research questions guiding this study include: How vulnerable are traditional algorithms under quantum attack, and which quantum-resistant alternatives offer viable performance and security trade-offs? Through simulations, we analyzed key metrics like encryption speeds, key sizes, and efficiency under quantum threats. Additionally, we demonstrated vulnerabilities in RSA-2048 and ECC-256 under Shor’s algorithm, emphasizing the necessity for quantum-resistant cryptography. Our results highlighted CRYSTALS-Kyber as a balanced candidate, aligning with the NIST PQC Standardization, while Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is reviewed for high-sensitivity contexts. Given the forecasted advancements in quantum hardware, we propose a transitional approach using hybrid cryptographic systems to ensure immediate security and ease the shift to quantum-safe protocols. This study also explores industry applications, particularly in finance, healthcare, and IoT, recommending a phased adoption strategy utilizing hybrid cryptographic systems for a secure, gradual transition.

Mixed convection from an isothermal rough plate
Authors: Jaffer Aubrey , Jaffer Martin
Published: January 2025

This investigation derives formulas to predict the mixed convective surface conductance of a flat isotropic surface roughness having a convex perimeter in a Newtonian fluid with a steady forced flow in the plane of that roughness. Heat transfer measurements of a 30.5 cm square rough plate with forced air velocities between 0.1 m/s and 2.5 m/s were made by the present apparatus in two inclined and all five orthogonal orientations. The present work’s formulas are compared with 104 measurements in twelve data-sets. The twelve data-sets have root-mean-square relative error (RMSRE) values between 1.3% and 4% relative to the present theory. The present work’sformulas are also compared with 78 measurements in 28 data-sets on five vertical rough surfaces in horizontal flow from prior work. The five stucco data-sets have RMSRE values between 2.5% and 6.5%; the other data-sets have RMSRE values between 0.2% and 5%.

The reflection spectra of n- and p-type silicon crystals doped with phosphorus and boron were measured for the free carrier concentrations of 1.1 · 1015 cm−3  − 1.2 · 1020 cm−3 in the far- and mid-infrared range between 20–3000 cm−1 using synchrotron radiation and Fourier transformed infrared technique. Transmittance spectra could be measured for lower sample carrier concentrations from the range studied. The measured reflection spectra were fitted by using the Drude relation and the parameters of free electron conductivity (electron effective mass m* and momentum scattering time τ) were obtained for the n- and p-type-doped silicon. Additionally, the calculations of the band electronic structure and the electric conductivity σ of the crystals were performed in the framework of the density functional theory for different carrier concentrations and temperatures. The study main findings are (1) the substantial decrease of the momentum scattering time τ and (2) the clear increase of the electron effective mass m* with an increase of the carrier concentrations Nc for both n- and p-type-doped silicon crystals.

Authors: BOCHENEK Anna , KLEMM Katarzyna , STEFAŃSKA Magdalena
Published: January 2025

Climate change is nowadays one of the most important problems that affects urban areas, where over half of the population lives. Due to the continuously growing population, significant number of citizens will be affected by its impact. For this reason, one of the steps to adapt cities to changing climate conditions is the implementation of adaptation strategies based on blue-green infrastructure elements.

In this article, the existing conditions of two selected public spaces in Lodz (Poland) and the impact of the proposed modernization projects were examined. The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which the proposed projects will improve microclimatic conditions and thermal comfort, and to select a more efficient urban planning option. Simulations of meteorological conditions and thermal comfort for representatives of four groups of space users were done by using the ENVI-met program.

This study reveals the relevance of the thermal comfort subject, especially for people over 65 years of age, due to the increased sensations of elderly during high temperatures and the increasing participation of this demographic group in the population of Lodz.

Published: January 2025

Mycotoxins including aflatoxins (AF), zearalenone (ZEN), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisins (FUM), trichothecenes (TCN), deoxynivalenol (DON), and T-2 toxin had negative influences on poultry productivity causing a depression in performance, product quality, antioxidative properties, immunity, health status, economic value and sustainability of production. The liver and kidney are the organs most affected by dysfunction and genetic damage (carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity). Chemical and physical approaches, including washing and extracting solvents, heat inactivation, irradiation, and chemical agents, are used to detoxify mycotoxins in feedstuff. Also, the dietary addition of adsorbents (zeolites, bentonites, hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate, glucomannan, etc.) is a strategy extensively used in poultry production. Additionally, several feed additives, including microorganisms, phytogenic additives, and natural anti-oxidants, can reduce the negative impacts of mycotoxins and achieve promising results in the poultry industry. However, the efficacies of these various strategies are different, showing distinct variations, and some limited effectiveness. Moreover, the minimum time required to induce a complete recovery from mycotoxins is lacking in the literature, as four weeks after removal, there are still adverse effects on performance and some physiological traits. This review focuses on the impact of different strategies for eliminating or mitigating the negative effects of mycotoxins on poultry productivity and their physiological and immunological traits by various means. In addition, the mycotoxicosis effect on the molecular pathways and the prevention and alleviation of different feed additives concerning the genetic pathways have been evaluated.
An Application of Pierre Bourdieu’s Key Concepts to the Domain of Climate Change Education
Authors: Thapa Ramesh
Published: January 2025

Bourdieu’s framework underscores the profound influence of cultural norms and social structures on human behavior, offering theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding human practices and their underlying rationale. This perspective is crucial for sociological inquiries of climate change, as the phenomenon is deeply intertwined with how individuals live and behave in their social context. Climate action, involving adaptive capacity, building resilient communities, and limiting future climate change, is inherently linked to human practices. Bourdieu’s theory provides a lens for comprehending how schools engage in climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts, analyzing the relationships among school leaders, teachers, social structures, and mechanisms driving social change. This paper introduces Bourdieu’s key theoretical concepts – habitus, field, capital, and practices – and explores their potential application in schools’ climate responses, highlighting their relevance to a relational approach of analysis.

Authors: Rodriguez Cris Teixeira , Tsukamoto Júlia Costa , Silva Thaiany Ferreira da , Balula Aline Martins , Corrêa Beatriz Medeiros , Pantoja Jessica Corrêa
Published: January 2025

Objective: To investigate the relationship between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), evaluating its levels in patients and discussing therapeutic implications.
 
Method: A review of studies on the regulation and function of BDNF, with an emphasis on synaptic plasticity and memory. Articles linking BDNF to PTSD were analyzed, including those with divergent results regarding protein levels in trauma survivors.
 
Results and Discussion: BDNF is essential for neuronal survival, development, and functionality in the central nervous system, influencing processes such as synaptic plasticity and memory. Altered protein levels are associated with psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and PTSD. Studies suggest that increased or decreased BDNF levels in PTSD patients may be related to the consolidation and extinction of fear memories, though results remain controversial. The precursor of BDNF has been associated with neuronal apoptosis, while its mature form promotes survival and dendritic growth. Methodological variability hinders definitive conclusions about BDNF's role in PTSD.
 
Research Implications: BDNF shows potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target in PTSD, but the lack of methodological standardization compromises the consistency of findings. Future studies should prioritize uniform methodologies to clarify the role of BDNF in neuropsychiatric contexts.
 
Originality/Value: This study synthesizes current knowledge on the role of BDNF in PTSD, highlighting gaps in literature and suggesting directions for future research.

Published: January 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the sensitivity of particle retention processes in artificial porous media to variations in fluid injection velocity, particle size, injection rate, and surface roughness. Similarly, this investigation contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms governing particle transport and retention, as well as supports the optimization of filtration systems across various applications.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research builds upon the established theories of porous media flow, particle transport, and interfacial phenomena, particularly focusing on the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to the study of particulate matter retention in water.
 
Method: In this work, a sensitivity analysis was conducted using a computational model implemented in ANSYS-CFX software, which allows for the study of water-particle mixture percolation in artificial porous media. The main parameters analyzed included flow velocity, particle size, surface roughness, and injection rate. Prior to simulations, X-ray computed tomography (μCT-XR) was employed to obtain detailed geometric information of the porous media, which was used to generate realistic computational models.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed article retention in porous media is influenced by flow velocity, particle size, and media roughness. Higher velocities and larger particles promote deposition. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section.
 
Research Implications: These findings provide valuable insights to understand the limits of applicability of computational CFD when applied to the optimization of barrier and filter construction which have significant implications for various applications, such as water filtration, soil contamination, and reservoir engineering.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing valuable insights about key factors influencing particle retention. The relevance and value of this research are evident in the potential application of CFD simulations, which, through sensitivity analyses, provide valuable understanding about optimizing filter design and mitigating water contamination.

Authors:   Faculdade de Medicina Dentária da Universidade do Porto, Costa Gonçalo , Mesquita Pedro ,   Faculdade de Medicina Dentária da Universidade do Porto
Published: January 2025

Objetivos: Este estudo pretende determinar a prevalência da agenesia dentária e de dentes supranumerários e caracterizar as duas anomalias numa população pediátrica portuguesa. Métodos: Neste estudo, foram analisados os registos clínicos dos pacientes pediátricos atendidos na Faculdade de Medicina Dentária da Universidade do Porto, entre setembro de 2020 e dezembro de 2021. O sexo e a idade de cada paciente (à data do respetivo exame radiográfico) foram registados, assim como quaisquer dados constantes na história clínica e considerados relevantes. Os pacientes com idades compreendidas entre os 4 e os 17 anos (inclusive, à data do seu exame radiográfico) foram incluídos neste estudo, desde que os seus registos possuíssem ortopantomografias datadas entre janeiro de 2010 e dezembro de 2021. Foram excluídos todos os casos em que os registos clínicos indicassem o diagnóstico de qualquer síndrome genética, ou com ortopantomografia de qualidade insuficiente. Foi realizada a análise estatística dos resultados com recurso a testes do Qui-Quadrado, com um nível de significância de 0,05. A amostra foi, assim, constituída por 144 pacientes. Resultados: Este estudo encontrou uma prevalência de agenesias dentárias de 20,83% (11,81% excluindo os terceiros molares) e de dentes supranumerários de 1,39%. A prevalência de agenesias foi de 26,1% no sexo masculino e 16% no feminino. Nenhuma associação foi estabelecida a este respeito (p>0,05). Os dentes mais afetados foram os terceiros molares, seguidos dos segundos pré-molares. 52,63% das agenesias encontravam-se na mandíbula, mas nenhuma associação foi encontrada (p>0,05).
Foram encontrados dois casos de dentes supranumerários, ambos no sexo masculino e localizados no segundo quadrante. Não foram encontradas diferenças quanto ao sexo. (p>0,05). Conclusões: Neste estudo, foi encontrada uma maior prevalência de agenesias dentárias no sexo masculino, com maior frequência na arcada mandibular. Quanto aos dentes supranumerários, apenas foram detetados casos no sexo masculino e na arcada superior. Os resultados deste estudo contribuem para um melhor conhecimento da prevalência das anomalias dentárias de número numa população específica que frequentou a consulta de uma faculdade de medicina dentária portuguesa.

Objetivos: O dimorfismo sexual é de importância fulcral nas investigações forenses. Diversos métodos moleculares que utilizam a amelogina, uma proteína presente no esmalte dos dentes, podem ser utilizados para determinar o dimorfismo sexual, tais como: extração de ADN de dentes, amplificação por PCR do gene codificante da amelogenina e posterior análise do tamanho dos produtos de PCR para identificar os cromossomas X e/ou Y. O objetivo desta revisão de escopo foi explorar os trabalhos científicos que utilizam o gene codificante da amelogenina na determinação do sexo aplicada à medicina dentária forense. Deste modo, o objetivo é responder à questão de investigação: Os métodos moleculares permitem a determinação do dimorfismo sexual para a identificação forense? Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura publicada entre 1996 e 2024 utilizando as bases de dados eletrônicas PubMed, MEDLINE (via BVS) e CINAHL (via EBSCO host). Critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram aplicados para selecionar as publicações mais relevantes, e essa seleção está resumida no fluxograma PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). Além disso, uma estratégia PCC (População-Conceito-Contexto) foi desenvolvida para formular a questão de pesquisa. Resultados: De acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão estabelecidos, foram selecionados para este estudo 10 artigos dos 1091 inicialmente considerados. Estes artigos exploram a ligação entre a medicina dentária forense e a determinação do sexo através da identificação da amelogenina. Todos estes artigos dizem respeito a investigação in vitro e são classificados de acordo com as categorias ´com tratamento´ (6 estudos) e ´sem tratamento” (4 estudos). Diferentes métodos foram utilizados para extração de DNA, nestes estudos, e todos os métodos evidenciaram a sua eficiência na amostra e qualidade do ADN. Além disso, a PCR no gene AMEL permitiu a determinação do sexo, na maioria das amostras em todos os estudos. A identificação do sexo não foi possível para amostras de dentes submetidas à incineração a temperaturas muito altas devido à incapacidade de isolar o ADN. A imersão em água também interferiu na qualidade do ADN extraído. Conclusões: Os métodos moleculares baseados na identificação do gene que codifica a amelogenina, encontrado tanto nos cromossomas X quanto Y, fornecem uma abordagem precisa e confiável para determinar o sexo de um indivíduo.

Objetivos: O trauma orofacial tem vindo a aumentar drasticamente nos últimos anos, podendo afetar, de forma isolada ou não, várias regiões anatómicas. São objetivos deste estudo a análise da prevalência de lesões orofaciais pós-traumáticas numa população de crianças e classificá- -las de acordo com a etiologia, tipo de lesão, tecido envolvido e local de origem. É objetivo específico compreender de que forma as lesões pós-traumáticas podem afetar as vítimas ao longo da sua vida. Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal, realizado em duas escolas públicas do concelho de Viseu durante o mês de abril de 2024. Foram incluídas crianças com idades entre os 3 e os 13, a quem foram entregues inquéritos em papel. Após a recolha dos dados foi feita a sua codificação e inserção numa base de dados utilizando o software Microsoft Excel. Foi realizada a análise estatística descritiva e inferencial com recurso ao software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 25, com nível de significância p definido a 0.05. Resultados: Este estudo incluiu uma população total de 392 crianças, sendo que 23,5% (92[392]) da população em estudo sofreu algum tipo de lesão orofacial. A maior prevalência verificou-se em crianças com idades entre 6-10 anos. As lesões mais frequentes foram as dentárias (52,2%), com maior envolvimento dos dentes incisivos. As lesões intra-orais foram as que demonstraram maior impacto na qualidade de vida das vítimas (66,7% (28[42])). A maioria das lesões ocorreram no domicílio (48,9%). 36,9% não procuraram ajuda médica e apenas 4,4% dos cuidadores relatou uma atitude mais direcionada ao trauma orofacial. A maioria dos cuidadores inquiridos afirma existir pouca divulgação sobre a correta gestão da situação traumática. Conclusões: As lesões orofaciais demonstram ter uma prevalência significativa, e um impacto considerável na qualidade de vida das vítimas. Quando analisada a literacia dos cuidadores é percetível que a maioria não sabe como proceder ao tratamento imediato da lesão traumática. Com vista à redução das consequências biopsicossociais associadas, campanhas de prevenção deveriam ser realizadas, a nível nacional, por entidades competentes.

Objetivos: Descrever a prevalência da doença periodontal em pacientes que utilizam contraceptivos orais (CO), relacionando- a com os parâmetros clínicos periodontal, em pacientes na Clínica Dentária Egas Moniz (CDEM). Métodos: Estudo piloto transversal. Amostra aleatória constituída por 42 participantes femininas, de idade 19 a 29 anos, que compareceram nas consultas da Clínica Dentária Egas Moniz (CDEM) de dezembro de 2023 a março de 2024. O estudo foi aprovado pela comissão da ética do Instituto Universitário Egas Moniz (IUEM) e todos os participantes consentiram a sua participação mediante um consentimento informado e garantiu-se a total confidencialidade dos dados. Foi aplicado um questionário na recolha dos dados sociodemográficos, hábitos de saúde oral e detalhes do uso de CO e realizou- se um exame clínico na recolha dos parâmetros clínicos periodontais: níveis de placa (Índice de Placa: IP), condição gengival (Bleeding On Probing: BOP) e perda de inserção periodontal (Clinical Attachment Loss: CAL). No final de cada consulta, foi dado um questionário diário para monitorizar alterações nos sintomas orais durante um ciclo menstrual de 28 dias. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o IBM SPSS Statistics® v.27 para determinar a associação entre o uso de CO e a doença periodontal, com valores de p <0,05 sendo significativos. Resultados: A idade média da amostra total foi de 23,5±2,2 ano, sendo mais prevalente a etnia caucasiana (78,6% ), estudantes (95,2%), com nível de estudo superior (90,4%) e solteiros (88,1%).
A amostra foi dividida em 2 grupos: Grupo Experimental (GE) que administram CO (n=21) e Grupo Controlo (GC) que não administram CO (n=21). A idade média no GC e GE foram de 23,5±1,8 e 23,5±2,6 ano, respectivamente. Os parâmetros clínicos periodontais não demostraram diferenças significativas com o uso CO, mas verificou-se uma prevalência da perda de inserção (CAL) no GE, que administram CO >=5 anos (p=0,024). Conclusões: Neste estudo foi possível observar o impacto significativo da administração dos contracetivos orais na saúde periodontal. Os contracetivos orais podem ser um fator de risco para a progressão da doença periodontal e os profissionais de saúde oral devem ter em consideração as influências hormonais nos diagnósticos da doença periodontal, enfatizando a necessidade de maior conscientização e estratégias preventivas para mulheres em idade reprodutiva que os utilizam.

Objetivos: Analisar a prevalência de Bruxismo em estudantes de Fisioterapia da Escola Superior de Saúde Fernando Pessoa, relacionando com as suas características individuais e de estudante. Métodos: Estudo do tipo observacional, transversal, correlacional, com uma amostra constituída por 85 participantes, 69.4% do sexo feminino e 30.6% do sexo masculino, com uma média de idades de 22.55 anos, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 37 anos. Os participantes responderam online a questões individuais e de estudante e aos critérios de diagnóstico de bruxismo da American Academy of Sleep Medicine, para analisar a presença e severidade do bruxismo. Resultados: Os alunos de 4º ano representavam a maioria da amostra (n=43, 51%), 15 (18%) pertenciam ao 3º ano, 14 (16%) ao 2º ano e, por fim, 13 (15%) ao 1º ano. Ao questionar os estudantes se achavam que tinham bruxismo as respostas foram maioritariamente positivas em que 65 (76.5%) das pessoas responderam sim. Através dos critérios de diagnóstico, 44.7% dos estudantes acusaram ter bruxismo, em que destes 18.8% era leve, 23.5% moderado e 2.4% severo. A classificação de bruxismo, não apresentou associação com o sexo nem com o ano de escolaridade mas apresentou associação relevante com a perceção dos participantes em relação à condição com a pergunta ´acha que tem bruxismo´ e com época de aparecimento do bruxismo, sendo em qualquer momento do ano letivo. Existiu uma correlação positiva fraca entre a idade e a pontuação final de bruxismo, sendo os mais velhos os que reportaram maior nível de bruxismo. Conclusões: Estes achados sublinham a importância de considerar tanto fatores subjetivos quanto objetivos na avaliação do bruxismo. O bruxismo estava presente em quase metade da amostra o que torna necessário uma maior consciencialização destes estudantes para estratégias de intervenção precoce para mitigar os impactos desta condição.

Objetivos: Avaliar o desgaste oclusal através de uma metodologia digital em pacientes totalmente dentados e pacientes edêntulos reabilitados com próteses totais superiores implanto-suportadas em zircónia monolítica e inferiores metalo-acrílicas. Métodos: Após aprovação pela comissão de ética e consentimento informado, foram selecionados 6 pacientes com dentição natural superior (Dts) e inferior (Dti) e 6 pacientes edêntulos bimaxilares reabilitados com arcadas superiores totais implanto-suportadas em zircónia monolítica (Zr) e metalo-acrílicas inferiores (Hb) de acordo com critérios previamente definidos, e realizadas as digitalizações das arcadas com recurso a um scanner intra-oral (Trios 3, 3 Shape) na visita inicial (T0) e após 12 meses de utilização (T12). Os ficheiros Standard Tesselation Language (STL) obtidos foram importados para um software de análise tridimensional (Geomagic Control X, 3D Systems, EUA) onde foram sobrepostos e alinhados pelo algoritmo de best fit, recorrendo a métodos previamente descritos. O desgaste foi avaliado através da média e desvio padrão do Root Mean Square (RMS) em milímetros (mm) para cada grupo (Dts, Dti, Zr, Hb) após 12 meses em função. Foi realizado o teste Shapiro?Wilk para determinar a distribuição da amostra, o teste Kruskal?Wallis com correcção de Bonferroni para comparar entre grupos e estabelecida uma significância de 0,05. Resultados: Para os pacientes dentados os valores obtidos foram de 0,06 /-0,017 mm para Dts e 0,07 /- 0,09 mm para Dti sem diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre eles. Para os pacientes reabilitados com próteses totais sobre implantes no grupo Zr detetou-se 0,11 /- 0,05 mm e 0,16 /- 0,05 mm no grupo Hb. Ao final de 12 meses de utilização foi possível detetar desgastes oclusais estatisticamente superiores nos pacientes com reabilitações implanto suportadas quando comparados com os pacientes dentados, sendo esse desgaste superior nas reabilitações metalo acrílicas. Conclusões: A metodologia proposta neste estudo piloto permitiu avaliar o desgaste oclusal dentário e de diferentes tipos de reabilitação total implanto suportada em contexto clínico permitindo desta forma acompanhar os padrões de desgaste individual. Estudos futuros deverão aumentar o tamanho amostral e o período de follow up de forma a permitir avaliar os padrões de desgaste de acordo com o tipo e material em pacientes reabilitados.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a widespread hair loss disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Fractional photothermolysis (FP) and topical minoxidil are two potential treatment options for AGA, but their combined efficacy and safety have not been fully evaluated. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of topical minoxidil along with FP in treating AGA in comparison to topical minoxidil alone. An extensive search of the literature was conducted to find randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in English from the beginning to September 30th' 2024 that compared minoxidil and FP along with minoxidil alone for AGA. The main results were variations in hair diameter and density. The negative events were secondary results. This systematic review included five RCTs with 321 participants in total. The rise in terminal root count between the FP + minoxidil group and the minoxidil-only group did not vary significantly, according to the data. At the 6-month follow-up, however, the FP + minoxidil group's hair diameter significantly increased in comparison to the minoxidil-only group. Serious adverse effects were rare and both therapies were typically well tolerated. For the treatment of AGA, the combination of FP and topical minoxidil seems to be a beneficial strategy, especially when it comes to increasing hair diameter. To validate these results and evaluate the treatment's long-term effectiveness and safety, further investigation is necessary.

Abstract
Introduction: Cesarean deliveries are increasing worldwide and now account for one fifth (21%) of all deliveries. This has exceeded the standard for caesarean section operations by WHO by around 5-15%. In Indonesia cesarean delivery rate was 17.6% percent with the highest proportion in DKI Jakarta (31.1%), the lowest in Papua (3.3%). West Sumatra is ranked second highest with a caesarean section rate of 23.8%.
Objective: To determine the relationship between age, education, employment, nutritional status, number of ANCs, underlying diseases, and the severity of caesarean section.
Method: This research is an observational analytical design with a croseksio area approach. It aims to relate the relationship between age, education, employment, nutritional status, number of ANCs, and underlying diseases, and the severity of caesarean section.
Results: This study had 400 research subjects who underwent caesarean section operations, with 16 research subjects experiencing caesarean sections with severe severity, 276 research subjects experiencing moderate severity, and 108 research subjects experiencing mild severity. Using the Chi-Square correlation test, there was significant relationship between a history of ANC and the history of underlying disease on the severity of caesarean section. There was no significant relationship between age, education, employment, or nutritional status on the severity of caesarean section.
Conclusion: There was significant relationship between history of ANC and history of underlying disease on the severity of caesarean section.

Introduction: Vulvovaginitis affects pregnancy outcomes and managing it involves the use of metronidazole or nystatin, which can cause local or systemic side effects. Dequalinium chloride (DQC) is suggested as a new treatment option for vulvovaginitis during pregnancy with minimal side effects.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of dequalinium chloride (DQC) versus metronidazole + nystatin (MN) in treating vulvovaginitis in pregnant women during their second and third trimesters.
Method: A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Andalas Public Health Center, Padang, from January to May 2024. Pregnant women in their second and third trimesters, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were enrolled. The participants were randomly assigned to either the DQC or MN group. Vaginal swabs were taken before and after a 6-day treatment, and PCR analysis was performed.
Results: Eighteen patients were treated with DQC and MN. Most participants had bacterial vaginosis (DQC 78%, MN 83%), with half having candidiasis (DQC and MN 50%) and fewer cases of trichomoniasis (28% in both groups). Significant improvements were seen in the DQC group for symptoms (p=0.000), Gardnerella vaginalis (p=0.035), and Candida albicans (p=0.021). In the MN group, significant improvements were noted for symptoms (p=0.000) and Gardnerella vaginalis (p=0.002). No significant differences were observed between the groups for symptom resolution or microbial reduction.
Conclusion: DQC is as effective as metronidazole + nystatin in treating bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis in pregnancy.

Araştırma doküman analizi modeli doğrultusunda yürütülmüştür. Veriler betimsel analiz yaklaşımıyla incelenmiştir. İncelenen toplam 39 ortaokul ve 47 lise projesi tematik açıdan değerlendirildiğinde her iki grupta da en çok Malzeme ve Nanoteknoloji tematik alanının tercih edildiği görülmüştür. Çalışmalar diğer kriterler açısından değerlendirildiğinde ise araştırmalarda çoğunlukla bilimsel araştırma basamaklarına uygun bir yol izlendiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Fakat proje özetlerinde bu basamakların hepsinden açık bir şekilde bahsedilmediği, bazı projelerde tüm aşamalara yer verilmediği görülmüştür. Dolayısıyla bu durum, proje özetleri okunduğunda yapılan çalışmaların tam olarak anlaşılması ve değerlendirilmesi hususunda bazı problemlere sebep olmaktadır. Önerilere lise projelerinde genellikle değinilmezken ortaokul projelerinde genellikle sonuçlarla uyumlu bir şekilde önerilere yer verildiği belirlenmiştir. Raporlarda belirlenen sorunların giderilmesi için öğretmen ve öğrencilerin bilimsel araştırma ve proje tabanlı eğitim ile ilgili daha fazla eğitici faaliyete katılması, daha fazla uygulama yaparak kendilerini geliştirmeleri önerilebilir.
