Authors: Chin Wendy , Nithianandam Vinitha
Published: September 2022

We, Professors Wendy Chin and Vinitha Nithianandam, both who teach technology courses at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), had a vision. This vision was to attract more women into the technology field and keep them enrolled in technology courses through graduation or transfer. We sought to do this by creating the CCBC Women in Technology Support Group. This group was founded in 2017. Our CCBC Women in Technology program was inspired by Virginia-based Women in Technology, and it brings female students with a shared love for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) an opportunity to come together to participate in various events. These include free workshops and lectures, attendance at social events, and the ability to network with successful women in the profession. This grassroots effort is an ongoing process and continues to evolve and bring awareness, retention, advancement, and support to female students in academic pursuits and professional careers in the STEM fields.

A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of a Purported Dietary Supplement Cognitive Enhancer in Healthy Teenage Subjects
Authors: Tartar Jaime , Astacio Marc , Chau Minh , Lin Lois , LeMoire Ashley , Banks Jonathan
Published: September 2022

Introduction: The prevalence of using dietary supplements among teenagers is rising. In particular, the use of nutritional supplements to improve cognitive performance is becoming more commonplace. Given the prevalence of use, it is important to empirically assess the effects of nutritional supplements on cognitive performance. The current study sought to test the effects of an existing cognition supplement, Brain Doctors’ Formula® (BDF) Mega Brain Boost® (MBB), across different cognitive domains in a healthy teenage population.
Methods: We carried out a 6-week randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. The study lasted approximately 42 days (6 weeks) for each participant. Study visits included screening and baseline testing, week 3 interim and week 6 end of study visit. Cognition outcomes were measured by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Toolbox Cognitive Battery of Testing (Dimensional Change, Flanker, and Pattern Comparison) and a Symmetry Span Task at baseline, interim, and final visits. Another efficacy outcome was the self-assessment of mind wandering, which was captured in a study daily diary from baseline to the end of study visit. There were two study groups, including one MBB group and one placebo group. Twenty-four participants were screened and randomized to include 12 participants in each group.
Results: The change from baseline to interim (Week 3) and from baseline to the final visit (Week 6) did not show a significant between-group difference on any measure of cognition (all p-values >0.05) except one. There was a significant between-group difference with a large effect size at Week 3 showing that the MBB group performed significantly better than the placebo group on the Dimensional Change Card Sort Task.
Conclusions: This study suggests that MBB potentially improves executive cognitive processes (as assessed by the Dimensional Change Card Sort Task) in healthy teenagers. However, this effect was only significant at the interim visit. Therefore, it is uncertain if there are any lasting beneficial effects. Further research should be conducted in a larger group of participants and focus on broader measures of executive function.

This study aims to analyze the factors associated with postpartum depression during the Covid-19 pandemic. The first general reactions of parents who have children with mental retardation are shock, fear, sadness, disappointment, guilt, rejection, or anger. These conditions have the potential to cause psychological problems that can lead to depression. There are many factors affecting depression in mothers who have children with mental retardation. This study used an analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The sample involved 247 respondents determined using an accidental sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with a significant value of <0.05. postpartum mothers who experienced depression were 143 people (57.89). Variables showedrelationship to postpartum depression were age with a p-value of 0.000 and social support with a p-value of 0.002. Both variables were declared significant because the p-value is lower than 0.05. Social support is the most dominant risk factor contributing to incidence of postpartum depression. Important to take preventive measures by involving husbands and families in providing information about maternal child health and anticipating the early detection of postpartum blues postpartum depression with the quality of extracting patient information (anamnesis) to reduce incidence of postpartum depression.

Objectives: Dental anxiety among children is a familiar problem. The study (cross sectional) was conducted to evaluate dental anxiety precedes the first dental examination in relation to dental caries experience according to nutritional status of children and to measure salivary alkaline phosphatase in relation to dental anxiety. Material and Methods: A total of 82 children aged six to eight years old, selected from public clinics in Baghdad city were divided into two groups: anxious and non-anxious group according physiological measures (heart rate and oxygen saturation) before first dental treatment. Weight and height for each child were measured to determine the nutritional status (normal weight, overweight and obese). Dental caries (experience and severity) in children with different nutritional status were recorded by using DMF, dmf and Manjie et al indices. Saliva was collected to analyze salivary alkaline phosphatase. Results: No statistical significant differences were observed between anxious and non-anxious children in means of dmf and DMF indices for primary and permanent teeth (p>0.05). Higher mean of D1 (initial enamel caries) was found in non-anxious children than anxious with statistical significant difference (P<0.05) in normal weight children only. Salivary alkaline phosphatase was not significantly different between the two groups.

Calcipotriene and Clobetasol ointments efficiently treat psoriasis. The purpose of the study was to characterize and compare the efficacy and safety of Calcipotriene and Clobetasol in chronic plaque psoriasis patients. 70 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis were recruited and randomly divided into two groups of 35 each. One group received 0.005% Calcipotriene, and the other group received 0.05% clobetasol twice daily for 12 weeks. Efficacy evaluations comprise global improvement assessed by the clinician by using the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score. Efficacy further included the 'Dermatological Sum Score' (DSS) and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at each study visit. The safety evaluations included clinical assessment of cutaneous safety and assessment of cutaneous discomfort by the clinician as well as the subject. Calcipotriene and Clobetasol were significantly effective in reducing PASI and DSS. However, the two experimental groups have shown no statistically significant observations. The PGA score assessed clinically was 1.27 for calcitriene and 1.79 for Clobetasol (p>0.05). The cutaneous safety score was higher in the clobetasol group compared to the Calcipotriene group. 4% of cutaneous discomfort was reported with Clobetasol compared to 2% with Calcipotriene. Calcipotriene showed a better safety profile than Clobetasol.

Published: September 2022

Cleaning is an unavoidable yet unattractive element of hotel administration, despite being labor-intensive and time-consuming. The workforce must be well-organized and constantly trained to reduce accidents and other hazards. Since Covid 19, many five-star hotels have introduced new practises and ideas. This helps check the hotel's quality and avert environmental damage. Hotel management has changed recently. This is a fluid scenario that will likely evolve over time. Several additional safety safeguards at luxury hotels will remain in place. Non-invasive thermal screenings will be required of all hotel guests, health declaration forms must be filled out, and the hotel and its eateries must be farther apart. There is now a system that divides and categorises the hotel's public areas, such as the lobby, reception area, banquet rooms, and elevators, according to the threat they provide owing to foot traffic and proximity to other guests. Reception, foyer, and banquet rooms are public areas. Daily cleaning of 70-100 guest room touch points. Housekeepers must wear masks, gloves, and other safety gear. PPE is the selection of items a person needs wear to protect themselves. Arogya Setu can be utilised on a smartphone or tablet, per Indian government guidelines.

Published: September 2022

25% of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) occurs in nose. The recently accepted treatment includes wide excision with safety margin of 4 mm of clinically normal skin. 3 major points in the treatments are clearance, cosmetic and functional value. Often, due to its central location and delicacy of the surrounding tissue makes it hard to achieve standard surgical margin for lesions located in nose. The size and the depth of the lesion may complicate therapy. These 3 cases reporting large lesion BCC treated with multiple wide excisions before underwent reconstruction. Case 1 and 2 had 3 and 4 time excisions due to failure of gaining negative margin in the previous surgeries. Multiple surgeries were preferred for although it delayed reconstruction, from oncologic point of view it is principle to accomplish perfect clearance of the tumor. Recurrences do not happen on big percentage of cases with positive margin, but may lead to even more complicated reconstruction that compromises patient health. The 2 cases gave satisfactory results with no recurrence within 3 years after surgery.

Published: September 2022

The safety and efficacy of a biological product is determined by the highly variable in-vivo or in-vitro assays. Hence the manufacturers have to minimize the test variabilities to an acceptable limit through optimization of test conditions and validation as per the regulatory guidelines. In this study the test variables were optimized and validated the methods HA, HI and antibody neutralisation assays. During optimisation of HA method, it was observed that no change in the HA titre either due to incubation temperatures (5 ± 3°C, 25 ± 2°C and 37 ± 2°C) or % of RBC used (1% and 0.5%). But the difference was observed for species of RBC used and time taken for HA reaction. CPV – 2 isolate 1 did not show HA activity with chicken RBC and showed agglutination with porcine RBC, whereas isolate 2 was showing HA reaction with both chicken and porcine RBC. During validation studies of HA, HI, CCID50 and antibody neutralization assays the % CV observed was 31, 31, 1.1 and 2.12 respectively which are less than the expected variability of > 50%.

Published: September 2022

The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of our method of complex pathogenetic treatment of chronic catarrhal gingivitis in 97 patients who were examined at the Department of Hospital Therapeutic Dentistry of the Polyclinic of the Tashkent State Dental Institute. Taken into account that there is a large arsenal of medicinal agents, however, there are no optimal methods for influencing the mechanism of development of inflammatory periodontal diseases in the pathology of the hepatobiliary system (HBS), therefore, the problem of treating chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis (CGCG) in this pathology is still relevant. Our study was conducted with the aim to study the effectiveness of irrigation of the gums with Parodontax rinsing device with Waterpik WP apparatus for the pathology of the hepatobiliary system. After the completion of the complex pathogenetic treatment using the irrigation of the gums with Parodontax with the Waterpik WP apparatus, high results were obtained, in which the anti-inflammatory efficiency was defined as a reduction of the PMA index. The PMA value decreased from 22.16 ± 1.64% to 5.65 ± 0.05%, the OHI-s index decreased from 2.31 ± 0.22 to 0.19 ± 0.27; SBI 2.14 ± 0.11 decreased and amounted to 0.14 ± 0.11.

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to assess various treatment options amongst prosthodontists for rehabilitation of missing posterior teeth in their patients. Methodology: 100 prosthodontists participated in this questionnaire survey. 7 questions were asked from the practicing prosthodontists about various treatment options they choose for rehabilitation of posterior missing teeth. They were also asked about how patient’s choices as well excess cost of materials, influence their decision as well as long term stability. Statistical analysis like- standard deviation, mean etc. p value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: We observed that 69% of prosthodontists (1.38±0.92) believed that missing posterior teeth rehabilitation does indeed suffer from more number of failures as compared to anterior teeth replacement due to maximum masticatory load put on the posterior teeth (p=0.03). Patient preference influences the decision making of almost 76.9 % prosthodontists especially based on compliance, cost as well as phobia. Cost is always an important decision maker for 89% participants while selecting the treatment option (p=0.0145). Conclusion: Fixed dental prosthesis has become the treatment of choice for long term stability according to the prosthodontists. However, cost effective removable partial dentures will always be there for elder population.

Published: September 2022

El presente texto representa un análisis realizado desde la visión del interaccionismo simbólico a partir de las diferencias conceptuales y reales entre violencia y agresividad y sobre todo entre sexo y género, para entender la etiología de la violencia degénero desde una postura teórica-documental; la autora analizó los diversos tipos de violencia desde su simbolismo y representaciones mediáticas, para mostrar la violencia de género, centrada sí, en la violencia contra las mujeres, como muestra del machismo aún presente en nuestras sociedades. Esta investigación abordó,además, la cotidianeidad de la violencia de género y por tanto su normalización a través de la transmisión de patrones de comportamiento de género, simbolismos -que a veces incluso son imperceptibles en la conciencia social-que son aprendidos, heredados, transmitidos y repetidos lo que hace que la prevención y erradicación de las diversas formas de violencia sea una labor compleja que difícilmente pueda ser abordada desde una sola vertiente. La autora concluyo que la violencia de género es simbolismo transmitido y aprendido desde múltiples espacios, que puede ser evitada a través de un trabajo interdisciplinario,pero también social.

Published: September 2022

Cement, specifically Portland cement is now used for construction and rapid urbanization worldwide. Though development of cement industry in Bangladesh takes back to early fifties this industry is in rapid growth state from about a decade, involving a large number of worker population. High alkalinity of cement and its tiny content of water soluble chromate can cause occupational skin diseases to workers who are involved with any type of cement handling activities. Cement industry workers are mainly low income group people and are driven by poverty, illiteracy, overpopulation and thus can pay little or no attention for health protection and treatment. Therefore, this study aims to identify skin disease status of workers in a Bangladeshi cement industry. Study was conducted amongthe workers working in a particular cement industry in south-west region of Bangladesh, at Labanchara, Rupsha Khulna. Data was collected by questionnaire survey method using modified version of standard questionnaire, which was drafted and pre-tested based on the reconnaissance survey. The study found that workers were suffering from various irritant dermatitis, allergic dermatitis and cement burn of different parts of their body, significantly in hand, forearm and leg. Study revealed, lack of proper sanitation and maintenance of safety equipment, coupled with habit of smoking and working for many years are mostly responsible, besides regular dust exposure for the association of skin diseases in cement workers.

The experiment was conducted to assess and compare the effect of micronutrient enrich commercial inorganic fertilizer and macronutrient enrich traditional inorganic fertilizer on plankton abundance in the manmade earthen ponds of Khulna University pond complex II for a period of three months from August to October 2017. There were three treatments each with three replications. Macro fertilizers (Urea 2.45 g m-1 week-1, TSP 2.45 g m-1 week-1 and molasses–yeast mixture 3.09 g m-1 week-1) were applied in treatment-1 (T1) while commercial inorganic fertilizer (4.5 g m-1 week-1) was applied in treatment-2 (T2) while no fertilizer was applied in treatment-3 (T3). Four different classes of phytoplankton namely Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, and Euglenophycaea were found in this experiment in which Chlorophyceae (5304.25±223.78 cells L-1) was the dominant class in respect of abundance and number of genera. Additionally, four classes of zooplankton such as Copepoda, Cladocera, Rotifera, Ostracoda were observed in which Copepoda (1559.84±70.48 cells L-1) was the most dominant class in treatment T2 than other treatments. Mean abundance of different phytoplanktons were 8864.77±52.78, 11489.04±295.76, 5983.04±272.88 (cells L-1) in T1, T2 and T3 and mean abundance of zooplankton under treatments T1, T2 and T3 were 3997.65±126.78, 4621.64±45.67, 3017.66 ±137.67 (cells L-1) respectively. The results indicated that mean abundance of phytoplankton and zooplankton were significantly higher (P<0.05) in treatment T2 compared to other treatments. The total mean abundance of plankton was observed significantly higher (P<0.05) in treatment T2 than other treatments. Therefore, it is concluded that micro nutrient rich commercial inorganic fertilizer Bluemix was more effective on the primary production in polyculture ponds as well as increase the production of fish than traditional inorganic fertilizer.

The objective of the study was to explore how the nature and extent of gender inequality in the labor market vary between a developed and a least developed country. In this regard, the Czech Republic as a developed and Bangladesh as a least developed country were selected purposively considering their socioeconomic status. A quantitative content analysis was done to compare the gender inequality in labor market using key databases including Labor Force Survey 2010 of Bangladesh, Labor Force Survey 2013 of Czech Republic, Eurostat 2014, ILO 2013, and World Bank 2012. The findings reveal that for the labor force participation, the number of Bangladeshi women (36 percent) is found less than half of men (82.5 percent) whereas, in Czech, the difference between men (68.1 percent) and women (59.5 percent) is much lower in this sector. While women in both countries failed to keep pace with men in employment, this gap is broader in Bangladesh. Moreover, in two countries, women’s appearance in higher level positions such as administrative, managerial and technical remain negligible and gender pay gap is found 21 percent for the Czech Republic and 25 percent for Bangladesh. In general, although gender inequality persists in the labor market of both countries, the ratio of inequalities is minor in the Czech labor market than that of Bangladesh. Attending of women in technical and vocational education and promoting gender blind mindset during recruitment can ensure gender equality in the labor market to a great extent. This study calls for integrating new dimensions of gender inequality such as underemployment, parenting and unemployment, and comparing more than two countries to have a holistic picture,which could stimulate dialogue of social research.

The aim of the study is to find out the role of floating cultivation on livelihood practice of coastal people in Bangladesh. Floating cultivation, locally termed as vashomanchash, is an indigenous cropping technique that the farmers of the coastal belt are widely practicing in submerged land. This study is confined in Barishal district. Two unions namely Illuhar and Bishwarkandi from Banaripara Upazila of the district were selected as the study area. The sample size is 80 and all of them were purposively selected, who are engaged in floating cultivation in the study area. In measuring the role of floating cultivation on livelihood practice, Sustainable Livelihood Framework was used proposed by Ian Scoones (1998). In identifying the motivational factor to be engaged in floating cultivation, weighted mean index has been calculated. The study found that most of the surveyed farmers (60 percent) of the area learnt the floating cultivation technique as an indigenous practice. Half of the surveyed farmers opined that the land in the area remains submerged for 5-7 months a year. About one-third of the sampled farmers produce rice, while another one-third keep the land fallow when the water is drained out. The main reason for being engaged in floating cultivation, as identified by the farmers is that floating cultivation provides income during disaster when all other livelihood options are mostly unavailable. The cost incurred in a season is about BDT 1000 for10floating beds whereas the corresponding income is about BDT 2000 per month from 10 floating beds. This profitability induces the farmers to engage in floating cultivation. The sustainability of a livelihood can be measured by outcome variables like the capability of the livelihood in creation of man days, poverty reduction, adaptive capacity and the preservation of the natural resource base. Considering these outcome variables, it could be concluded that this indigenous practice of floating cultivation is creating man days during disaster and thus assuring certain and uninterrupted income for the rural people which ultimately might have notable impact on poverty reduction, specifically in disaster period. Accordingly, this practice of floating cultivation could be replicated in other waterlogged areas in the country.

Yellow colour spectroscopic method to determine phosphorus in solution is a very accurate and reliable tool used world wide in chemistry laboratories. The working range of this method is up to 20 ppm and the absorbance is read at 470 nm wavelength. The yellow chromogen is quite stable for long time.In this study, the method is revised to find the most suitable wavelength at which the yellow chromogen gives the highest absorbance. This study further investigates the working range within which a linear relationship exists between phosphorus concentration and the absorbance. The stability of the chromogen with time was also studied. From the study it is found that, the yellow colourchromogen absorbs only the lower portion of the visible spectrum and 400 nm light is better to use to get highest light absorbance. The absorption values gradually decreases with the increase in wavelength and at 600 nm wavelength absorption value becomes zero. The working range may extend up to 30 ppm instead of 20 ppm. The chromogen was found stable even for 2 months.
USE OF MOSQUITO REPELLENT: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN SLUM AND PLANNED RESIDENTIAL AREAS OF KHULNA CITY CORPORATION IN THE SOUTH-WEST BANGLADESH
Authors: Islam Muniva , Haider Mohammed Ziaul
Published: September 2022

People in developing countries like Bangladesh often ignore the harmful effect of using mosquito repellents on health as well as environment. This is a cross-sectional study among adult individuals selected from planned residential (60) and slum (60) areas of Khulna City Corporation in the south-west Bangladesh considering the user (64) and non-user (56) of repellents chosen through applying a stratified systematic random sampling method. Most of the surveyed people use mosquito repellents at evening and at night while sleeping. Poor slum people mainly use local brand coil, while a comparatively high income earner planned residential people use variety of repellents. This study finds that the planned residential people spend more on repellent purchase per month than slum people. The smoke congestion of living room due to use of repellent is more evident in slum areas compared to planned residential areas. Feeling sick due to this smoke is also more evident in the slum areas compared to planned residential areas. Similarly, the severity of disease due to use of mosquito repellent is higher in the slum areas compared to planned residential areas. The planned residential area people are more aware about the negative health effect of using mosquito repellents. The ordered logit estimation result shows that disease awareness of using repellent is higher among educated and planned residential people in comparison with less educated and slum people. Hence, activities under different public health program might be develop to enhance awareness, especially among poor, less educated slum people toward the negativity of using repellents and encourage them towards using alternative means for preventing mosquito.

La juventud en el deporte y en la cultura física. Diálogos, travesías y desafíos representa un esfuerzo colectivo de múltiples miradas sobre la participación de los jóvenes en uno de los ámbitos en el que se han desarrollado por siglos, como es la cultura física y el deporte. Producto del Seminario de Estudios de Juventud en América Latina en su versión 2019, este libro se encuentra integrado por siete capítulos divididos en tres partes. En la primera se analiza la profesionalización de la práctica deportiva desde una perspectiva de género y de experiencia de práctica a nivel aficionado; en la segunda se consideran a profundidad las identidades colectivas de aficionados al deporte desde los “cánticos” hasta la estigmatización de “las barras” y, por último, en la tercera sección, el análisis de las capacidades físicas, su preparación, así como las percepciones de éxito como principios deportivos. Los coordinadores de esta obra esperamos que disfruten su lectura y que puedan leer nuestros trabajos —en los próximos volúmenes— relacionados con “algo que ya se nos hizo costumbre”, como son los Seminarios Internacionales sobre Estudios de Juventud en América Latina.
Medical treatment of dyslipidemia in the elderly
Authors: Kim Han Jun , Kim Chi Kyung
Published: September 2022

Worldwide, the proportion of the population aged 65 years or older is rapidly increasing, along with the prevalence of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease. Because of decreased physiological functions and comorbidities in the elderly, it is difficult to determine a treatment strategy for each individual. According to the guidelines for dyslipidemia in Europe and the United States, aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering is recommended for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease as in the younger patient group. Also, newer cholesterol-lowering agents, ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitor can be added to achieve treatment goals in high risk groups. However, considering the conflicting study results in primary prevention, it is necessary to fully consider life expectancy and side effects of medications to determine whether to initiate treatment. Several on-going studies are expected to give answers to many complex clinical situations of dyslipidemia treatment in the elderly.
Biomechanical Evaluation of a Novel Double-Strand (Looped) Polyamide Monofilament Suture for Canine Flexor Tendon Repair
Authors: J Duffy Daniel
Published: September 2022

Objective: Determine the influence of a novel looped polyamide suture on the biomechanical properties and gap formation of repaired canine flexor tendons. Study Design: Tendons were assigned to 3 groups (n=12/group). Following transection, tendons were repaired with a Kessler pattern using monofilament polypropylene, Kessler pattern using looped polyamide suture and a Kessler pattern using looped polyamide augmented with a continuous Epitendinous Suture (ES) representing groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Constructs were tested to simulate clinical failure. Yield, peak and failure loads, loads at -1 and 3mm gap formation and failure modes were analyzed. Results: Looped polyamide suture is equivalent to monofilament polypropylene using a Kessler core pattern. Looped polyamide suture augmented with a running ES significantly increased yield, peak and failure loads by 3.2x, 3.0x and 2.6x respectively, compared to core suture use alone. Use of an ES required significantly greater force to cause 3mm gap formation while reducing occurrence of gapping in tested constructs. Mode of failure differed among experimental constructs. Conclusion: Looped polyamide suture is equivalent to monofilament polypropylene in the same pattern. Our results support the addition of ES augmentation, a simple technique modification that demonstrates substantially improved repair strength while reducing the occurrence of gapping between tendon ends. Future in-vivo studies investigating effect of suture placement on tendinous healing, blood supply, and glide function are warranted.

Authors: Yeng Thai
Published: September 2022

This exemplar case highlights the importance of conservative treatment to protect the pulpal health of an invasive cervical resorption of a mandibular molar tooth with pulpal exposure. The resorptive site was explored and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) was placed on the localized defect. Following curettage of the resorptive tissue, a small pulp exposure occurred. Direct pulp capping with Dycal, a calcium hydroxide-based material, was used, and the molar was restored with glass ionomer cement. At the 18-month review, the molar tooth demonstrated both clinical (positive pulpal response) and radiographic (absence of any periapical radiolucency) success. Clinical relevance Direct pulp capping with calcium hydroxide cement is an inexpensive, conservative, and easy treatment option for pulpal exposure during the management of a Class 2 invasive cervical resorption case. Objective To demonstrate the importance of preserving the pulp in the management of a Class 2 invasive cervical resorption lesion.
