Examining the Effect of Motivation on Short-term Memory Recalling of Arabic Abstract and Concrete Words Using Free, Cued, and Serial Recall Paradigms
Authors: Yasir Saad Almukhaizeem  , Ahmed Mohammed Saleh Alduais
Published: September 2020

Purpose: : The present paper explores whether a correlation exists between motivation and short-term memory recalling and examines motivation as a factor affecting memory recalling of Arabic concrete and abstract words through free, cued, and serial recall tasks. Method: Four groups of undergraduates at King Saud University, Saudi Arabia participated in this study. The first group consisted of 9 undergraduates who were trained to perform three types of recall for 20 Arabic abstract and concrete words. The second, third and fourth groups consisted of 27 undergraduates where each group member was trained only to perform one recall type: free recall, cued recall and serial recall respectively. Motivation was the independent variable and number of recalled abstract and concrete words was the dependent variable. The used materials in this study were: abstract and concrete words classification form based on four factors distributed to the participants (concreteness, image ability, meaningfulness, and age of acquisition), three oral recall forms, three written recall forms, and observation sheets for each type of recall. Three methods were used: auditory, visual, and written. Results: The statistical analysis indicated that the percentage of the retrieved words by the control group was slightly lower than that of the experimental group in the case of free and serial recall paradigms. In other words, the effect of motivation on short-term memory recall was found partial. A Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was also computed to assess the relationship between motivation (one recall trail, that is recalling only either freely, supportably (with cues), or serially [as compared to those who recalled the words freely, supportably, and serially) and short-term memory recall (recalled Arabic abstract and concrete words). The participants with a motivational stimulus tended to recall slightly more Arabic abstract and concrete words, whereas those participants with no motivational stimulus tended to recall slightly less Arabic abstract and concrete words, r = .713, p< 0.01. Conclusions: Motivation effect on short-term memory recall of Arabic abstract and concrete words was not significant especially in the case of free and serial recall paradigms. However, Pearson’s correlation supported the research hypothesis that there was a moderate positive correlation between the two variables, r = 0.713, n = 440, p = 0.000, with R2 = .508.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Evaluation of Cardiac Masses in Patients with Suspicion of Cardiac Masses on Echo or Computed Tomography
Authors: Sultan Fateh Ali Tipoo , Ahmed Syed Waqar
Published: September 2020

Objectives:

In recent years, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has emerged as an important tool in the identification and characterization of cardiac masses. No imaging data on cardiac masses are available from Pakistan. We aimed to review the clinical presentation, CMR findings, and outcome of patients referred for CMR due to suspicion of cardiac masses on echocardiogram or computed tomography (CT).

Material and Methods:

We reviewed all the patients referred for CMR at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from January 2011 to March 2020, with the suspicion of cardiac mass on echocardiogram and/or CT. Only those with the confirmed diagnosis of cardiac mass on CMR were included in the study.

Results:

A total of 27 patients were referred for CMR from January 2011 to March 2020, with the suspicion of cardiac mass on echocardiogram and/or CT. Four patients were excluded as no cardiac mass was found on CMR. Out of 23 cases, majority (n = 15, 65%) were female, age ranging from 3 months to 70 years, with a mean age of 40 ± 22 years. Shortness of breath was the main presenting symptom (n = 19, 83%). Echocardiogram was the initial imaging modality done in all the patients while CT was also performed in 6 patients (26%). Out of 23 patients, 4 (17%) were diagnosed to have thrombus on CMR. In two cases, it was in the left ventricle with evidence of myocardial infarction on late gadolinium images. Myxoma was the most common tumor diagnosed on CMR in 6 patients (26%) followed by rhabdomyoma (n = 3, 13%) and fibroma (n = 2, 8.7%). There were three malignant primary tumors of the heart based on CMR appearances and one with tumor thrombus extension of hepatocellular carcinoma in the right atrium from inferior vena cava. Two patients were diagnosed to have non-neoplastic lesions – one with large intracardiac hydatid cyst and one with possible large fungal vegetation. Among 23 patients, 9 patients (39%) underwent surgery, 5 with myxoma, 2 with rhabdomyoma, 1 with fibroma, and 1 with fibroelastoma. Findings on surgery and histopathology matched the CMR diagnosis in all the patients except the one with the CMR diagnosis of myxoma in which histopathology was consistent with thrombus.

Conclusion:

CMR can play an important role in confirming the presence or absence of a mass in the heart. It can also provide differentiation of non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions and among different types of neoplastic lesions with reasonable accuracy. However, the limitations of CMR must be recognized.

Authors: Deepthi Sogasu  , Devaraj Ezhilarasan  , Smiline Girija AS
Published: September 2020

The cancer stem cells (CSC) are responsible for the growth of cancerous tumours. The renewal of cancer stem cells is considered synonymous with that of normal cells. The cancer cells are considered a progeny of specific and designated stem cells. The identification of these cancer stem cells has proven to be more difficult than anticipated due to the specific niches they are present in, within the tumour. Oral squamous carcinoma is the Sixth most common cancer constituting up to 2–4% of all malignancies worldwide and with poor prognosis. Tumour size and extent of lymph node metastasis are the most important predictors. The CSC works on the mechanism of bulk tumour cell formation and treatment resistance. But there are increased studies under this topic as it has been found that specifically targeting these cells can curb cancer. This review compiles information about the role of CSC in oral squamous cell carcinomas, the applications of CSC, and their use in the development of novel treatment options for oral cancer.

Published: September 2020

The primary objective of root canal treatment is the ability to remove irritants, to clean, shape and fill the root canal system three-dimensionally and prevent recontamination from bacterial irritants. Various Obturation techniques used for filling the root canals include lateral condensation, vertical compression, and thermoplastic gutta-percha techniques. The retrospective study aimed to evaluate the various obturation techniques used in mandibular molars. For this retrospective study data collection was based on patient records of Saveetha Dental College, Chennai and consisted of a total of 1903 cases evaluated based on the obturation technique within the time frame of 10th June 2019 to 1st March 2020. In this study, the obturation technique was evaluated based on the patients age, gender, procedure and based on the tooth in which obturation was done. Inclusion criteria consisted of the tooth that underwent endodontic treatment in patients within the age group of 18 to 60 yrs, a tooth with irreversible pulpal disease or chronic apical periodontitis, permanent tooth and mandibular molars. Exclusion criteria consisted of patients above 60 years, primary tooth, teeth in which root canal treatment was not undertaken, teeth with the presence of huge periapical lesions, severely calcified canals etc., severe periodontal disease, teeth apart from mandibular molars. All the values were then statistically analysed. In this study, 1930 patients (848 are females, and 1055 were males with a mean age of 24 years) were included. It was observed in this retrospective study that there was a significant difference between the various types of obturation technique used in mandibular molars. Matched single cone obturation technique was the preferred technique of obturation in the majority of the cases (62.4%). Single cone obturation technique has advantages over other techniques of obturation due to the fewer stress forces implied apically, thereby preventing an excess of sealer extrusion.

Single visit root canal therapies are indicated when no periapical changes are appreciated. The final stage of the root canal treatment deals with the filling of the canal system with a biocompatible material. Obturation comprises a core filling material and a sealer. The study aimed to evaluate the type of sealer used for obturation of posterior teeth treated in a single visit and to correlate the sealer use with factors like tooth, gender and operator qualification. The study was a retrospective analysis. A total of 86,000 case sheets were reviewed and necessary data was extracted. The type of sealer used for the obturation was assessed and tabulated along with details like age, gender and tooth. The data was exported to IBM SPSS Software 20. Frequency distribution tables were created and a Chi-square test was performed to check for the correlation of the type of sealer used with various parameters. A total of 1209 molar cases were treated out of which 34.5% were maxillary first molars. The endodontic sealers that have been reported to be put to use are zinc oxide based, resin-based, calcium hydroxide based, medicated, 3 sealer, 4 sealer & others. Maximum cases (53.5%) were treated with a resin-based sealer. A positive correlation (p-value <0.05) is found between the use of sealer and operator qualification. Within the limitations of the study, a variety of root canal sealers were found to have been used for obturation and a positive correlation between the operator qualification & type of sealer used for obturation of molars in single visit RCTs was found.

The eyes are the windows to our soul. We have been gifted with the beautiful power of eyesight to see the wonders in front of us. The eyes are the second evolved or developed unique sense organ next to olfaction in animals. For animals, it serves to locate food, and also to spot the approaching predator or prey. Apart from these aspects as far as the humans are concerned, their eyes serve several purposes apart from the said purposes. Eyes are unique and specialized to accommodate both light and dark fields, black/white and colour images, near and far objects etc. Since it is extensively used, it can become less functioning or even worse, depending on several conditions. Sadly, the eyesight problems are very common disorders which affect all age groups. There are many reasons for their occurrence. The purpose of our study is to find out the cause of eyesight problems among the adolescent population. A self-prepared questionnaire comprising ten questions was prepared and circulated among the participants. The results were collected and analyzed. 64% of participants had eyesight problems, while 36% did not have any such problems. 31% had eyesight problems since birth. Upon analyzing the results, it can be said that the prevalence of eyesight problems among adolescents is pretty high, and they are mostly caused due to lifestyle patterns.

Published: September 2020

In the year 1930s, acrylic resins were established. The materials used for denture base are vulcanite, celluloid & phenol-formaldehyde. The limitations were founded those were high coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal shrinkage, poor colour stability of self-cured resins, porosity, crazing, warpage, poor adhesion to metal and porcelain retention. Denture base resins are widely used till date as it has its own significance. But recently there has been much advancement in the denture base resin field to control and to invent a new denture base resin. Methyl methacrylate chemical compound of denture base resins was changed with many monomers to attain higher physicomechanical properties while not compromising the biocompatibility. However, there is not any consensus on the most effective strategy to attain the best changed chemical compound, to identify and evaluate the variations within the properties between typical and changed monomers and to verify the effect of many variables on the properties of dental plate base acrylic. The present review shows the different advancements in the area of denture base resins.

Published: September 2020

Dr Greene Vardiman Black in the year 1896 classified dental caries into VI classes based on the site of occurrence, among which class III and class IV are exclusively associated with anterior teeth. There are very minimal studies in the literature emphasising on the prevalence of dental caries in the anterior teeth region. Caries involving the anterior teeth significantly affects aesthetics and which in turn affects the confidence levels of the affected person. Grossly decayed anterior teeth also affect phonetics and mastication. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and gender variations of class III dental caries among patients who have visited Saveetha Dental College and have undergone treatment for the same. A Retrospective study was conducted, and data collection was done from dental archives pertaining from June 2019 to April 2020. Data consisted of all the patients who underwent therapeutic procedures for class all dental caries. Data was imported to IBM SPSS Version 20 for statistical analysis. Results were tabulated. Prevalence of class III dental caries was more among females as compared to males. Maxillary anterior are more affected than mandibular anterior. Prevalence was more among patients belonging to the third and fourth decade of life. There was a statistically significant association between age, and proximal surface –majority of mesial caries decreases with age and distal caries increases with age. As the age increases, the number of decayed surfaces increases (not statistically significant). This study was conducted in a single centre. Extensive multi-centre studies need to be done.

Modern linguistic stylistics interprets the colloquial vocabulary as a particular and unique stylistic category of an artistic text. The spoken words are contrasted with the stylistically neutral and bookish vocabulary of the literary language as the words with emotionally-expressive coloring and functional-stylistic loading. In the focus of the study is linguistic and stylistic analysis of colloquial vocabulary recorded in the novel “Heather Honey”. Extensive use of the colloquial vocabulary in the novel “Heather Honey” is a sign of the individual writing style of a Volyn writer Nadiia Humeniuk.

The article explores the colloquial vocabulary of the novel as a means of stylization of the characters' oral speech and adding subjective notes to the author's story. The colloquial vocabulary includes words to denote the realities of mostly rural life, name-characteristics of people, actions, states, features. Spoken vocabulary is used in descriptions of everyday situations, dialogues, monologues. There are almost no part-of-speech restrictions in choosing colloquial lexemes. The colloquial elements are included in the literary text only in a spoken form, commonly used in the oral form of communication.

In the literary work, colloquial words perform an informative function, because owing to them, the depicted events become vivid, correlate with the cultural-historical and spatiotemporal context of the realities of rural life of Polishchuks in the 30s of the last century. However, the main functions of colloquial vocabulary are socio-linguistic (which allows the author to accurately convey intonation of the expressions, level of education and culture of the characters), emotional, and expressive. To convey emotions, the author uses the words with low evaluative semantics, the word-forming elements with the meaning of tenderness or rudeness, which are opposed to the neutral lexemes. The expressiveness of colloquial vocabulary attracts attention, interests, causes emotional tension of the reader.
Проблема потрактування теолінгвістичних термінів сакральний текст і сакральна мова

The article considers some basic terminological units of theolinguistics, analyzes different approaches to their use. In the focus of the analysis are the issues of interpreting the term religious text and differentiating it from the terms fideistic text, spiritual text, sacred text, confessional text, holy text, etc. It remains an open question. Some scholars distinguish between religious and sacred texts from the standpoint of differentiation of their genres. Sacred texts can be interpreted in a narrow (sacred books, prayers and hymns that are part of the liturgical practice of a religion /the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, the Canon of the Liturgy, etc./) and a broad, figurative meanig (ideological works that society accepts axiomatically when political ideology prevails over religion, science and art /work of K. Marx, F. Engels, V. Lenin in the USSR/). The key question is how to consider the very concept of the sacred. We support those scientists, who interpret the concept in terms of broad understanding of sacredness, emphasizing that the language of the sacred sphere (sacred, holy language) includes not only the text of Revelation but also some folklore aspects, thus contrasting the language of the sacrum (sacred) with the language of the profanum (profane).

The terms apostolic languages, prescient languages, prophetic languages, and epistles languages are absolute synonyms for the languages in which the apostles first uttered the Word of God and the foundations of Christian doctrine. The qualification of these languages as holied (sacred, cult) is controversial, as it causes terminological homonymy. It is also debatable to limit the use of these terms to Greek, Latin, Ancient Hebrew, and Old Slavonic languages. We consider sacred (sacred, cult) languages not only those in which the Word of God was first uttered but also those that later began to be used in conducting services and into which the Holy Scriptures were translated.
