History of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects
Authors: Lam Jen , Ng Sammie
Published: December 2023

Despite having a key impact on professionalization and design, the role of the professional institute is often taken for granted in the architectural field. This piece centers on the overlooked history of the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA) to unravel the complex processes of professionalization in a specific spatio-temporal context – Hong Kong. Compared to other countries, the making of architecture in Hong Kong could be vastly different, where theoretic discourses and nationalistic ambitions have been less influential. As the representative, examination, and accreditation body of Hong Kong architects, HKIA would be a pivotal stakeholder in shaping the architectural practice. The institute’s struggle for proper recognition of architects over the years through professionalization would be marked by different and evolving strategies, both inward and outward. It is also emblematic of the struggle between different competencies which makes it challenging to define the role of the architect and consequential when it comes to the profession’s agency in shaping the built environment more broadly.
Mari Lending and Erik Langdalen, Sverre Fehn, Nordic Pavilion, Venice. Voices from the Archives, Lars Müller Publishers
Authors: Yaneva Albena
Published: December 2023

In 1958 the Norwegian architect Sverre Fehn won the competition for the design of the Nordic Pavilion in Venice, inaugurated in 1962. Drawing back on a rich archive on this masterpiece of post-war architecture, Mari Lending and Erik Langdalen tell a different story about the building than the commonly spread poetic and critical narratives. The book is composed of two parts: part one Historicity of a Concrete Object takes the readers through key moments of the “life of the building”: the cultural or geopolitical momentum, preparing the ground, the competition, the opening, the cooperations, etc. The second part of the book comprises invited contributions by a number of authors such as Adrian Forty, Camille Norment, Helen Dorey, to mention just a few, who reflect on different aspects of the Pavilion.
The role of transglutaminase 2 in regulation of the balance between autophagy and apoptosis in tumor cells
Authors: Gnennaya Yu. A. , Semenov O.  M. , Barlev N. A.
Published: December 2023

In normal tissue, cellular homeostasis is largely driven by two catabolic pathways: apoptosis and autophagy. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is regulated by pro-apoptotic factors, and promotes the removal of problematic cells. Autophagy, which in turn includes three forms: macro-, micro-, and chaperone-mediated autophagy, can promote both cell survival by selectively removing potentially apoptosis-inducing factors and raising the threshold of stress required for the induction of cell death. Recently, evidence has been accumulating suggesting the existence of common molecular pathways between autophagy and apoptosis, as well as the influence of the extracellular matrix on these processes. One of the important enzymes involved in the coordination and regulation of these processes is transglutaminase 2 (TG2). Different types of TG2 activities are involved in maintaining the dynamic balance between extracellular matrix and intracellular autophagy/apoptosis processes, while dysregulation of these processes may contribute to the pathogenesis of various human diseases, including oncogenesis. For example, TG2 can promote the degradation of pro-apoptotic proteins and the survival of renal cell carcinoma cells under nutrient-deficient conditions by modulating the autophagy process. In cells of various tissues deprived of TG2, aggregates of ubiquitinated proteins and damaged mitochondria are observed, which in turn induces proteotoxic stress and cell death. conversely, the transamidase activity of TG2 was observed to inhibit anti-apoptotic  signaling in a human leukemic monocytic lymphoma model. In the present review, a number of important functions of TG2 in oncogenesis are described, along with the dual role of TG2 in modulating such opposite processes as cell survival and cell death.
Molecular features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors “wild-type” (KIT/PDGFRA WT)
Authors: Mazurenko N. N. , Yugay V. V. , Tsyganova I. V.
Published: December 2023

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Their main features are the expression of CD117 (KIT) and mutations of KIT or PDGFRA in 85 % of patients. however, 10–15 % of adult GIST and 85 % of pediatric GIST do not have KIT/PDGFRA mutations (KIT/PDGFRA WT GIST or “wild-type” GIST). The prognosis and clinical course of these tumors and GIST with KIT/PDGFRA mutations differ. “Wild-type” GIST are quite heterogeneous group of tumors in terms of clinical phenotype, genetic etiology, and molecular pathways. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are divided into SDH-deficient and SDH-competent based on the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex. SDH-deficient GIST occur predominantly in children and young patients  with Carney–Stratakis syndrome and Carney triad; there are also sporadic tumors. More than half of SDH-deficient GIST contain mutations in SDHA, SDHB, SDHD or SDHC, while the rest are caused by hypermethylation of the SDHC promoter. SDH-competent “wild-type” GIST include tumors with BRAF, RAS, or NF1 mutations that activate the RAS-RAF-MAPK pathway and KIT/PDGFRA/SDH/RAS-P WT GIST subtype or “quadruple wild type” GIST. The genomic profiles of these tumors and GIST with KIT/PDGFRA mutation or SDH deficiency differ significantly. One of the features of “quadruple wild type” GIST is activation of the FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptors) signaling pathway due to chimeric FGFR, FGFR mutations, or overexpression of FGF (fibroblast growth factor). Another feature is chimeric genes containing fragments of NTRK, BRAF, FGFR and other genes that behave as oncogene drivers. In “quadruple wild-type” GIST the somatic mutations in TP53, MAX, MEN1, CTNND2, CHD4, ARIDIA and other genes were revealed as well as in the cell cycle genes RB1, CDK4, CDKN1B. There is no specific treatment for patients with “wild-type” GIST; the choice of drug is determined by the genetic disorder. There is a need to improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the different GIST subtypes to develop more effective therapeutic approaches.

A new difference spectrophotometric method for the analysis of alimemazine in commercial formulations has been proposed. The method is based on oxidizing the drug with potassium caroate for the formation of corresponding sulfoxide (ε = (4.7 ± 0.06) · 103 L mol-1 cm-1) and measuring the absorbance of the solution at 342 nm using an unoxidized drug of the same concentration as blank. The graph of Beer's law for alimemazine tartrate showed that the ΔA values measured at the corresponding wavelength of maximum absorbance difference are directly proportional to the drug concentration in oxidized solutions in the range 2-30 μg/mL. The characteristics of the calibration curve were A = (b ± Δb) · C - (a ± Δa) = (0.0539 ± 0.0014) · C - 0.017 ± 0.026; LOD = 0.68 μg mL-1; LOQ = 2.07 μg mL-1. The proposed method was successfully applied for the analysis of alimemazine-containing commercial pharmaceutical formulations: Teraligen Valenta tablets 5.0 mg and Theralene 4 %, oral solution. RSD ≤ 1.8 % (δ= – 0.82 % and –1.30 % respectively).

The application of digital colorimetry for the determination of ionic surfactants, moderately hydrophobic medicinal substances of ionic nature in the system with bromothymol blue (BTB) in aqueous solutions using a smartphone has been shown. The influence of the solution nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 (TX-100) on the parameters of the colorimetric determination of bromothymol blue has been studied. It was established that the addition of TX-100 improves the linearity of the graduation dependence of the colorimetric signal of bromothymol blue (r ˃ 0.99) and reduces the detection limit of the dye by 15 %. The optimal conditions for the colorimetric determination of the cationic surface-active substance cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), reagent concentration, and pH were established (LOD = 2.5·10-6 mol L-1, Sr ˂ 2 %). The spike recovery method checked the trueness of the results obtained in the model solutions analysis. The procedure for determining CPC in the drug "Septolete Total" was verified by the addition technique. The ability of a nonionic surface-active substance to stabilize the colloidal chemical state of solutions of hydrophobic counterions associates was used for the colorimetric determination of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (r = 0.99; LOD = 7.5·10-7 mol L-1) and the less hydrophobic indomethacin (LOD = 6.6·10-6 mol L-1) with the BTB-TX-100-CPC reagent system.
Identification Problem of Family Dysfunctions in the Early Stages (Analysis of the Regulatory Framework)
Authors: Tsymbal E.I.
Published: December 2023

Protecting the right of a child to live and be brought up in a family is an important area of State social policy. The realization of this right requires the identification of a violation of the functioning of the family at the initial stages. For early detection of dysfunctional families, it is necessary to establish clear rules for the exchange of information about dysfunctional families. This requirement is not currently being met. The Law on Education does not impose on teaching staff the obligation to inform the guardianship authorities about crisis families. The Law on the Protection of Citizens' Health does not allow medical workers to send information received during the provision of medical care to the guardianship authorities.

Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the discussion of the formation of new competencies for candidates for foster parents (adoptive parents, guardians, trustees, adoptive parents) necessary to create conditions for family care for foster children and represent their legitimate interests. The article presents the results of monitoring by the Ministry of Education of Russia (2019 and 2022) on the activities of Schools for foster parents in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The monitoring was carried out in order to study the compliance of the activities of authorized organizations with the requirements and recommendations of federal legislation, as well as the forms of work used in the preparation of potential candidates for foster parents. The monitoring analysis is supplemented by the data of a public opinion poll conducted among the participants of the All-Russian Forum of Foster Parents (2023), which revealed a trend towards an increase in the request from foster parents to change the content of the program of foster parents' schools, and also focused on topics in insufficient detail (according to according to the respondents) presented in the training program, but necessary for the effective management of situations related to the care of orphans and children left without parental care.
Targeting P53 Gene in Breast Cancer
Authors: Moftah Abuhagr Ali , Belead Musa Esmaeil , Ali Attir Omran , Alati Ryad
Published: December 2023

Infectious diseases and breast cancer rely heavily on p53, a tumor suppressor that protects genetic integrity. It is present on chromosome 17p13 and controls angiogenesis, programmed cell death, and cell proliferation. The expression of p53 and its isoforms is more predictive of treatment outcomes and responses to chemotherapy for breast cancer patients than the presence or absence of TP53 mutations. Subtype-dependent mutations of p53's negative regulator MDM2 can both be signs of p53 deactivation in breast cancer. Targeting both wild-type and p53 mutant across various subtypes of breast cancer is one possible treatment strategy. Notably, through paracrine signaling, mutant p53 in stromal fibroblasts speeds up the formation of breast tumors. In the progression and trajectory of breast cancer, the pivotal involvement of the p53 gene, alongside the bcl-2 proto-oncogene, is noteworthy. Addressing the role of p53 is crucial in the context of breast cancer development and its course.
Effect of Tetrahydrocurcumin Compared to Curcumin in Carbohydrate Metabolism and Glycoprotein Components in Type 2 Diabetes - Systematic Review
Authors: Murugan Pidaran , Maneemegalai Sivaprakasam
Published: December 2023

Pancreatic β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance are the two hallmarks of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Treatment of diabetes without any side effects is still a challenge to the medical system. There is an increasing demand by patients to use the natural products with antidiabetic activity, because insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs are having so many side effects. Curcumin is a biologically active component isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma longa that possess antidiabetic and has been proven scientifically to possess high antioxidant activity and anticancer properties. Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) is a major curcuminoid metabolite of curcumin, naturally occurring in turmeric. The interest in THC research is increasing because it is superior to curcumin in its solubility in water, chemical stability, bioavailability, and anti-oxidative activity. Many in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed that THC exerts antidiabetic effects through various mechanisms, including modulation of oxidative stress, xenobiotic detoxification, inflammation, proliferation, metastasis, programmed cell death, and immunity. The activities of glycolytic enzymes such as hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were found to be decreased whereas the activities of gluconeogenic enzymes (glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase) and polyol pathway enzyme-sorbitol dehydrogenase were significantly increased in diabetic control rats. In addition, the oligosaccharide moieties of glycoproteins (hexose, hexosamine, fucose and sialic acid) were also significantly increased in plasma and tissues of diabetic control rats. THC and curcumin administration to diabetic rats significantly reversed the above changes when compared to diabetic control rats. In diabetic controls, hepatic and skeletal muscle glycogen content was decreased significantly as compared to non-diabetic controls. Treatment with THC and curcumin increased the hepatic and skeletal muscle glycogen significantly. The antidiabetic and antioxidant effects of THC are more potent than those of curcumin at the same dose. The antihyperglycemic action of THC might be mediated via an enhancement of insulin action, as it is evidenced by the increased levels of insulin in diabetic rats treated with THC, which may be responsible for the reversal of changes in carbohydrate enzymes and glycoprotein components. The THC administration showed more effective than curcumin.

Published: December 2023

Globally, several million peoples are infected with epidemic-prone mosquito-borne diseases like yellow fever and malaria that is transmitted to humans by the bites of infected mosquitoes. Psoralea corylifolia, often known as babchi, is a well-liked herb that has been utilised in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for many years for its miraculous abilities to treat a variety of skin conditions and Leptadenia reticulata, also known as Jivanti is an herb that is traditionally used in treating the conditions like malaria, diabetes, and liver disorders. The present study investigated the larvicidal properties of endophytic fungi isolated from Psoralea corylifolia and Leptadenia reticulata against Aedes aegypti. The highest larvicidal activity was seen in Trichodermata viride and Candida albicans species from leaves of L. reticulata was found to be 85.71% and 90.47 at 20 ppm. Likewise, Piriformospora indica and Aspergillus niger species from the leaves of P. corylifolia was found to be 66.66% and 83.33 % respectively. Candida albicans from leaves of L. reticulata and Aspergillus niger from the leaves of Psoralea corylifolia showed the highest mortality percentage was found to be 90.47 and 83.33 at 20 ppm respectively. The present study reveals the determination of optimal, eco-friendly, and selective mosquito larvicidal agents. The development of innovative and affordable medications to combat diseases spread by mosquitoes will be aided by more research on the isolation, characterisation, and determination of the mechanism of action against the selective mosquitos.

A STUDY ON OPTIMIZING TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL FOR IMPROVED TRAFFIC FLOW
Authors: ERGÜN Serap
Published: December 2023

Addressing traffic congestion holds paramount importance due to its severe economic and environmental repercussions. This study introduces an approach to address this pervasive issue by employing a wide-area control strategy for diverse road networks. The strategy leverages a dynamic offset control method and a multi-agent model to create a unique solution. In this framework, individual intersections function as distinct agents, engaging in negotiations, establishing connections, and forming a dynamic offset control zone resembling a tree structure. Within this structure, agents collaboratively manage green wave synchronization based on real-time traffic conditions at the network boundaries. To evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, comprehensive tests utilize both a simulated road network (Experiment 1) and an actual grid-like road network (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, the proposed method consistently reduces lost time, resulting in an average reduction of 15% across all scenarios. Experiment 2 demonstrates a reduction in lost time across various intervals, with an impressive average reduction of 34% in lost time across all scenarios. These results demonstrate the strategy's ability to dynamically and adaptively establish green waves that significantly enhance traffic flow. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the proposed method autonomously conducts offset control, effectively contributing to the smooth flow of vehicles.

Dynamics of the demineralization of temporary teeth using ultrasonic shadow velosymmetry and autofluorescence microscopy in vitro
Authors: Sedoykin Alexey G. , Ermolyev Sergey N. , Kiselnikova Larisa P. , Zatevalov Alexander M. , Fokina Alexandra A.
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Given the high prevalence of caries in preschool children, additional methods for diagnosing hidden carious foci with deep structural demineralization of the hard tissues of temporary teeth without generating X-rays must be updated.
AIM: To improve methods for studying the demineralization of hard tissues of primary teeth using ultrasonic shadow velosymmetry and autofluorescence microscopy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included primary second molars (n=11). Samples of primary teeth were placed in a test tube with a demineralizing solution on days 1, 4, 8, 21, and 31. The samples were examined by autofluorescence microscopy and ultrasonic shadow velosymmetry according to the exposure time. The rate of acid demineralization of the primary teeth samples was assessed using our score scale. The averages were compared using the Wilcoxon W-test (p 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis was used, taking into account the statistical significance of the correlation coefficients for p 0.05.
RESULTS: Analysis of samples of hard tissues of primary teeth by ultrasonic shadow velosymmetry showed that the velocity of the ultrasonic wave passage decreases with increasing exposure to the demineralizing solution and acquires a linear character with a negative regression coefficient. The decrease in the ultrasonic wave velocity in the enamel and dentin of the samples directly correlated with the degree of demineralization.
CONCLUSION: The conducted experiment on the hard tissues of primary teeth showed that demineralization not only leads to micromorphological structural changes in the hard tissues of enamel and dentin but also affects the physical and acoustic properties of the samples.

Despite the progress in the development of modern dentistry and maxillofacial surgery and significant improvements in diagnostic, surgical, and restoration methods, currently, the number of patients with tooth loss is not decreasing. This trend is also characteristic of modern Russia. The number of implants installed to replace lost teeth in our country is increasing annually; despite this, the share of implantation systems with full localization in the territory of the Russian Federation is small. This study aimed to demonstrate the possibilities and effectiveness of using a Russian-made innovative system of dental implants made of nanostructured titanium in various clinical cases. The results of dental rehabilitation of patients with orthopedic structures supported by dental implants with a follow-up period of up to 5 years were analyzed. The results were presented with an indication of all stages of treatment of patients using modern methods of complex dental rehabilitation.

The quantity of hospitalizations raised in 2021–1672 (in 2020–1591).

Conclusions. In the most severe conditions of pandemic, the gynecological unit managed to preserve its surgical activity; the volume of medical care corresponded to the plan. A proper organization of work with regard to all requirements of antiepidemic safety provided the absence of the postoperative complications.
Bottom-up vs. top-down: how participatory design can be used to help define post-conflict cultural memory in Croatia
Authors: Jolic Antonia
Published: December 2023

Ethnic tensions and a constitutional crisis brought about the disintegration of Yugoslavia, which resulted in Croatia loosening ties with the Federation and subsequently declaring its independence. The quest for Croatian independence led to the Homeland War which took place between 1991–1995. The post-conflict transformation of the country primarily concentrated on the political and economic aspects of reconstruction, however the importance of developing a national strategy to deal with cultural memory, as part of the rebuilding process, has largely been neglected. Through a series of case studies, this paper will reveal how a significant proportion of Croatia’s cultural memory is dealt with through various forms of community engagement, centering around local civic organisations that “sprung up” as a consequence of the Homeland War. These communities are staging memorials, not just as places and occasions to gather around grief, but as means of highlighting the self-expression of loss in a public setting. Technological advancements, especially open-source access to new media, has encouraged more personal and community initiated and driven projects. Centered around participatory design, these projects demonstrate a more inclusive approach that enables local communities to record, collect and communicate their cultural memory, rather than rely on ‘approved’ state institutions. This article looks at how participatory design can aid in bridging and preservation of cultural memory of the Homeland War through the development of a participatory design framework which could be used as a central reference point to facilitate participatory projects between cultural institutions and their patrons, thus creating a more empowering approach to post-memory.

¿Rebelión a bordo? A vueltas (de nuevo) con las relaciones entre ordenamientos en el espacio jurídico europeo
Authors: Menéndez Agustín José
Published: December 2023

En un puñado de meses de 2020 y 2021, los tribunales constitucionales de Alemania, Polonia y Rumanía decidieron asuntos con un considerable impacto sobre las relaciones entre el derecho constitucional nacional y el derecho de la Unión Europea. La afirmación de la identidad constitucional nacional como límite a la fuerza del derecho europeo en los tres Estados citados y de forma prácticamente simultánea ha llevado a considerar seriamente la hipótesis de una crisis de autoridad del derecho de la Unión. A la que habrían hecho frente la Comisión Europea y el Tribunal de Justicia, reforzando la pretensión de fuerza última del derecho supranacional, hasta el punto de quedarse a un paso de convertir el principio de primacía en un principio de supremacía del derecho de la Unión Europea. En este trabajo se analizan las tres sagas judiciales en las que se han producido los más recientes conflictos constitucionales europeos y se derivan conclusiones acerca de las relaciones entre ordenamientos normativos en el espacio jurídico europeo.
El interés superior del menor como eje vertebrador de la futura regulación de la gestación por sustitución solidaria en España
Authors: Serrano Ochoa María Ángeles
Published: December 2023

La legalización de la gestación subrogada en diferentes países ha suscitado un intenso debate jurídico-constitucional. En España auguramos que llegará a ser legitimada a medio plazo, al menos con carácter altruista, porque no puede obviarse que la gestación por sustitución viene teniendo lugar fuera de nuestras fronteras y ante este hecho el legislador deberá empezar a solucionar las implicaciones jurídicas que tal forma de reproducirse genera, una vez constatada la obsolescencia del principio mater semper certa est. Ante ese futuro escenario, el propósito del presente trabajo es reflexionar en torno a los derechos dignos de protección del menor que nace de este proceso reproductivo y su interés superior, al ser la piedra angular de la futura regulación en la materia, pues desde esa perspectiva se podrán garantizar tanto los derechos fundamentales de la mujer gestante como los de los progenitores de intención.
El efecto disuasorio (chilling effect) sobre el ejercicio de los derechos en nuestra jurisprudencia constitucional
Authors: Urías Joaquín
Published: December 2023

El Tribunal Constitucional español lleva décadas afirmando que la Constitución rechaza el «efecto desaliento» sobre el ejercicio de los derechos fundamentales. Es una noción que tomó de los sistemas estadounidense y europeo. Sin embargo, su uso en la jurisprudencia es diverso y ambiguo. A menudo se invoca en el marco de un juicio de proporcionalidad, pero, en ocasiones, parece presentarse también como una prohibición absoluta que puede suponer la inconstitucionalidad de una acción o incluso de una norma. Este estudio intenta sistematizar los usos jurisprudenciales de la noción, vinculada estrechamente al sentido institucional de los derechos, para concluir en qué consiste exactamente, cuándo cabe apreciarla y qué efectos conlleva.

As mães, em maioria, são as únicas cuidadoras, o que pode gerar sobrecarga física e emocional e piora da qualidade de vida. Objetivos: Relacionar as habilidades funcionais de crianças com SCZV com a qualidade de vida de suas mães. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com 26 mães e seus filhos com SCZV, inseridos em um Centro de Reabilitação de Goiânia, região central do Brasil. Foram utilizados um Questionário de Avaliação sociodemográfica e clínica das mães; um Questionário de Avaliação Clínica das Crianças; o Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS); o Software - Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI-CAT); a Medida de Qualidade de Vida da Organização Mundial de Saúde (WHOQOL-BREF). A relação entre os domínios e escore total do WHOQOL-Bref com o PEDI-CAT foi realizada aplicando-se a correlação de Spearman. Resultados: As mães tinham em média 30,04±6,47 anos de idade. Em relação ao WHOQOL-Bref, o domínio meio ambiente apresentou pior pontuação (média de 50,84±17,45) e o social o melhor (média de 69,23±22,46). wA média de idade das crianças foi de 2,46±0,52 anos e a maioria era nível V do GMFCS (80,8 %). O PEDI-CAT apresentou baixo escore em todos os domínios, sendo o mobilidade o mais afetado (média de 13,54±4,06). Houve correlação negativa entre o domínio físico do WHOQOL-Bref e o mobilidade do PEDI-CAT (r=-0,45; p=0,02). Conclusões: As mães de crianças com SCZV tiveram pior qualidade de vida no aspecto meio ambiente; e as crianças apresentaram comprometimento nas habilidades funcionais, sendo pior em mobilidade. Quanto pior a mobilidade da criança, melhor a qualidade de vida das mães no aspecto físico.

crianças com Síndrome Congênita do Zika Vírus (SCZV) apresentam comprometimento da função motora. As famílias sofrem mudanças importantes na dinâmica e as mães, normalmente as mais envolvidas no cuidado das crianças, podem ter a qualidade de vida comprometida. Objetivo: Relacionar a qualidade de vida de mães de crianças com SCZV com a função motora grossa de seus filhos. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado em um Centro de Reabilitação de Goiânia- Goiás. A amostra foi composta por 27 mães e seus respectivos filhos com diagnóstico de SCZV. Os instrumentos utilizados foram Questionário de Avaliação sociodemográfica e clínico das mães e das crianças; Sistema de Classificação da Função Motora Grossa (GMFCS); Medida da Função Motora Grossa - 66 itens (GMFM-66) e a Medida de Qualidade de Vida da Organização Mundial de Saúde – versão abreviada (WHOQOL-Bref). Resultados: A média de idade das mães foi de 30,85±6,43 anos. Foi observado pior pontuação no WHOQOL- Bref no domínio Meio Ambiente (média de 50,69±17,12) e melhor em Relações sociais (média de 68,83±22,12). As crianças tinham média de 2,4±0,52 anos de idade. A maioria foi classificada como GMFCS nível V (81,5%) e a média do GMFM foi de 17,59±7,15. Não houve correlação entre o escore total do GMFM com os domínios e escore total do WHOQOL-bref. Conclusão: As mães de crianças com SCZV tiveram maior comprometimento na qualidade de vida no aspecto meio ambiente; e as crianças apresentaram grave comprometimento na função motora grossa. Não houve correlação entre a qualidade de vida das mães e a função motora grossa de seus filhos.

a relação estabelecida entre supervisionando-supervisor é caracterizada por uma vinculação com alto grau de proximidade e exposição de vulnerabilidades, o que inclui a expressão das emoções. A qualidade dessa relação tem sido associada à segurança do estagiário nas suas competências clínicas, sendo a figura do supervisor um dos principais fatores protetivos do estágio, por ser fonte de suporte emocional, além do suporte intelectual e técnico. Objetivos: Compreender como a expressão das emoções impacta na relação supervisor-supervisado e no processo de supervisão. Identificar como ocorre o processo de expressão das emoções na supervisão; investigar quais elementos favorecem a expressão das emoções e quais dificultam a expressão das emoções e analisar quais são as consequências da expressão das emoções na supervisão. Método: 8 supervisados (6 mulheres e 2 homens) participaram de grupos focais realizados virtualmente na plataforma Microsoft Teams, após assinatura do (TCLE). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva e interpretativa, cuja coleta de dados seguiu o método da Teoria Fundamentada em Dados (TFD), a qual também orientou a análise de dados com a estratégia de interpretação descritiva e codificação das transcrições das entrevistas. Resultados: Seis eixos emergiram da análise. Três fazem referência à emoção na relação com o supervisor. Envolvem a ruptura de vínculo, os efeitos do estilo do supervisor e a emoção no contexto do regime remoto. Outros três referem à expressão dessa emoção, especificando variáveis que favorecem ou dificultam tal expressão e consequências da expressão. Conclusões: A expressão das emoções na supervisão produz impactos positivos e negativos na relação supervisor-supervisado, sobressaindo-se a repercussão no atendimento clínico, na vivência emocional do supervisado e na qualidade do vínculo estabelecido.

Early childhood caries (ECC) continues to affect most children globally, especially in developing nations. Many cases of caries are left untreated, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, because these countries have large populations, restricted medical resources, and rising demand for dental health services. Community-based care can effectively meet the requirements by providing direct access to places where children reside, attend school, or obtain regular assistance. Countries like Hong Kong, Mongolia and the United States of America are successfully running programmes and focusing on community-based Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) to control dental caries in children. SDF can be applied in any setting, does not require sophisticated dental equipment, and can lower healthcare expenses and limit the global burden of dental caries. SDF should be a part of various oral health promotion schemes in a developing country like India, where more than 50% of the population belongs to economically weaker strata. This review article aims to discuss the effectiveness of SDF in various community-based dental caries programmes and to encourage its usage as an accessible and reasonable alternative to enhance the oral health-related quality of life in a developing country like India.

Every parent will take various measures and actions to keep their child safe and protect them from injury. Especially when they are not around them, like in schools and daycare. Children are spending more time at school; thus, teachers are responsible for their health. School teachers should know that first aid and primary school children come under an endangered group, which means that they are more prone to injuries. The study’s objective was to reveal primary school teachers’ knowledge regarding first aid in selected Bangalore schools and determine the efficiency of a structured teaching program on knowledge regarding first aid. A pre-experimental pre–post-test design was preferred for this study. The sample consisted of 52 primary school teachers selected using purposive sampling. The score was acquired through self-administered questionnaires using baseline Performa and questionnaires to measure the primary school teachers’ knowledge in selected schools in Bangalore, India. Among the 52 participants, 48.1% have poor knowledge, and 51.9% have moderate knowledge. All 100% of the subjects were female teachers, with a pre-test mean knowledge score of 14.52% and a post-test score of 22.63%. The obtained p-value of the mean difference between the pre and post-test is less than 0.001. It is concluded that there is a high relationship between primary and post-test knowledge scores of primary school teachers concerning first aid. The teacher’s negligence of the students and their failure to look after the child during school hours is the main reason for the cause of accidents at school. Proper first aid knowledge is important for those teachers to prevent further complications of accidents. It is concluded that a structured teaching programme among those school teachers will help improve their awareness and competency in the prevention and management of First aid.
