A cascade training protocol for schoolteachers on oral health: Investigating the influence of primary and secondary mentors
Authors: Paul Sarah , Chauhan Neha , Duggal Ritu , Purohit Bharati , Priya Harsh
Published: August 2024

Background

Oral health holds paramount importance for overall well-being, particularly among school-aged children, where inadequate oral health can cause significant discomfort and impede educational performance. Despite its critical nature, oral health awareness and practices within Indian school communities remain suboptimal. There exists an urgent necessity for efficacious educational initiatives to bridge this gap and foster oral health awareness among both schoolteachers and students.

Protocol

This monitored training introduces a pioneering cascade model training initiative aimed at evaluating its impact on enhancing oral health knowledge among schoolteachers and students in Indian schools. A total of 100 school teachers from 50 Centre government schools will undergo training in two distinct sessions. Following this, two teachers from each school will be selected to further train 24 class monitors from grades 6–9, who will subsequently impart knowledge to approximately 40 students per class. This phase of the training will be ongoing, ensuring training consistency through online supervision and active participation of the expert team in training activities with newly designated master trainers. Pre- and post-training assessments will be conducted at each level to gauge the monitored training’s effectiveness. The entire training is projected to conclude within a year.

Discussion

This cascade model monitored training initiative represents a novel approach in promoting oral health awareness in Indian schools, marking a pioneering endeavor in this domain. Through this program, we aim to empower 1200 class monitors as master trainers and reach approximately 24,000 school students across 480 supervised training sessions. The establishment of master trainers through a cascade process, coupled with the engagement of the CDER expert team, ensures accurate dissemination of information at every stage. The comprehensive evaluation facilitated by pre- and post-training assessments at each level further enhances the program’s effectiveness, laying a solid foundation for future oral health initiatives within school communities.

Sistema Panóptico e Autocontrole na Redução da Violência e Reabilitação de Detentos
Authors: Macedo Ailton Barreiro de , Melo Francisco Taítalo Mota
Published: August 2024

O presente estudo investiga o impacto do sistema panóptico na redução da violência e na reabilitação de detentos. O sistema, concebido por Jeremy Bentham, promove vigilância constante para instilar disciplina. A pesquisa visa entender os mecanismos de controle no sistema prisional e sua relação com a reincidência. Objetiva-se avaliar os efeitos do sistema na diminuição da violência, analisar estratégias de prevenção de crimes, investigar os efeitos psicológicos da vigilância e aprimorar programas de capacitação profissional para detentos. Busca-se compreender a interconexão entre quatro elementos-chave: o sistema panóptico, o monitoramento dos detentos, a sensação de vigilância constante e a capacitação profissional. O sistema, baseado na vigilância constante, é eficaz no controle e disciplina dos presos. O monitoramento eletrônico contribui para prevenir crimes e reduzir a superlotação. A cultura organizacional afeta a ressocialização e a eficiência prisional. A capacitação é crucial para a reintegração dos detentos e aprimoramento da gestão prisional. Esses elementos ressaltam a necessidade de abordagens inovadoras para lidar com os desafios do sistema prisional. A sociedade se beneficiará com uma compreensão mais profunda do uso do sistema panóptico na redução da violência carcerária e na reabilitação de detentos. A metodologia adotada é a revisão bibliográfica sistemática, utilizando diversas fontes para análise aprofundada e identificação de padrões. Essa abordagem qualitativa visa compreender os fenômenos sociais de forma abrangente.
Multifocal Epstein-Barr Virus-Positive Mucocutaneous Ulcers in a Patient With Crohn's Disease
Authors: Alphonsus Lotus , Zhang Qi , Jairath Vipul
Published: August 2024

Epstein-Barr Virus-positive mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU) is a rare and new category of mature B-cell neoplasms commonly linked to immunosuppression. It often has a benign course and regresses spontaneously after discontinuation or dose reduction of immunosuppressive agents. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman on long-term azathioprine therapy for rectosigmoid Crohn's disease. In contrast to the prevalent sites typically associated with EBVMCU, such as the oral mucosa and skin, this patient was found to have locations in the gastrointestinal tract and upper neck. These areas tested positive for histopathology consistent with EBVMCU and were excised due to bowel perforation and concern for malignancy.
Melampaui Penanda Kebahasaan: Pencarian Mitos dalam Penafsiran Aḥmad bin ’Alī al-Būnī di Syams al-Ma’ārif al-Kubrā
Authors: Pratama M. Hendrik
Published: August 2024

Mystical interpretations that are often seen as irrational interpretations obscure the rationality and scientific values contained in these interpretations. The assessment of mystical interpretation as irrational interpretation is caused by the understanding that someone who interprets mystically is thought to have no capability in interpreting the Qur’an. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate Aḥmad ibn ‘Alī al-Būnī’s mystical reasoning when interpreting the Qur’an in Shams al-Ma’ārif al-Kubrā from the argument that mystical interpretation-although seemingly irrational-has its own scientific basis and logical flow to arrive at a mystical understanding of the Qur’an. To achieve this goal, this study uses a qualitative method with the semiotic theory offered by Roland Barthes, which he divides into denotation and connotation analysis as a knife of analysis. The study shows that al-Būnī’s scientific background plays an important role in shaping his understanding of the Qur’anic verses. The interpretation of the basmalah, for example, al-Būnī interpreted it as a symbol of security, guarding, conquest, blessing, help, and salvation that resulted from his understanding of the names of the all-protective Allah contained in the term. The above understanding was formed through al-Būnī’s scientific background which mastered the science of letters (ilm al-huruf) and the names of Allah (al-Asma’ al-Husna). As a result, there are practices on the basmalah, such as reciting the basmalah 20 times before going to bed to avoid theft, demonic interference, or disaster.
Resepsi Az-Zamakhsyarī atas Wacana Teologis Muktazilah: Bias al-Uṣūl al-Khamsah dalam Tafsir al-Kasysyāf
Authors: Mahmud Muhammad Aziz
Published: August 2024

The debate regarding the presence of Mu’tazilah concepts in the interpretation of al-Kasysyāf remains a topic of discussion in interpretive literature. This debate stems from az-Zamakhsyarī’s theological identity as a proponent of Mu’tazilah thought. This study seeks to re-examine how az-Zamakhsyarī integrated Mu’tazilah conceptions into his work, al-Kasysyāf, by focusing on the dominant linguistic elements of his interpretation. To achieve this, the research adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing content analysis as the primary tool for data analysis. Additionally, the study employs a representation model to differentiate the ways in which az-Zamakhsyarī received and applied Mu’tazilah teachings. The findings reveal that az-Zamakhsyarī’s extensive use of linguistic analysis in interpreting the Quran often led to clear statements affirming his Mu’tazilah stance. However, he appears ambiguous when addressing the concept of the Oneness of God, a core tenet of Mu’tazilah doctrine, which was a sensitive issue in his time. This ambiguity is also evident in discussions concerning the ontological nature of God, where az-Zamakhsyarī tends to avoid the in-depth linguistic exploration seen in other areas, differing from his approach in al-Minhāj fi Uṣūl ad-Dīn. This reluctance to delve into sensitive topics leads to a diminished presence of Mu’tazilah narratives in al-Kasysyāf, contributing to varied interpretations of its content regarding Mu’tazilah teachings in Quranic exegesis.

ARCHITECTURE AFTER GRAVITY: UNDERSTANDING SPATIAL EXPERIENCE OF WEIGHTLESSNESS AND DISORIENTATION
Authors: Elawati Ocfia Amirul , Paramita Kristanti Dewi , Atmodiwirjo Paramita
Published: August 2024

This study examine the idea of after gravity as the basis of an architectural design method. After gravity is defined as the condition of weightlessness and disorientation that creates unrestricted body movement. Gravity determines the direction of architectural spatial orientation and gives weight to subject and object in architectural space, creating boundaries of possible body movements. This paper analyzes the development of a design method based on that appropriates gravity through the analytical study of ten gravity-defying body movements such as hanging, flying, or spinning. The study identifies three gravity-based relations; happening between bodies, between body and object, and between body and space. The design method of architecture after gravity highlights the spatial experience of the moving body in receiving stimuli and responding to the context. Understanding architecture after gravity widens the potential of architecture that sees the relations of forces in a context with the body in a dynamically built environment.

Authors: Li Fei , Wang Jianli , Ning Xiaohong
Published: August 2024

Objectives

This study focuses on the integration of Palliative Care and Narrative Medicine by presenting a case study of palliative care consultation.

Case presentation

The research team provides a definition of bottleneck problems and examines the use of narrative in palliative care as a means to address these issues. A case study of demonstrated palliative care consultation is analyzed to illustrate the effectiveness of narrative practice in addressing bottleneck problems. We attempt to elaborate on the competence of narrative medicine and demonstrate its values in clinical practice. Building upon the case study and analysis, we propose three steps for clinical practice; namely, recognizing pain, establishing relationship, and addressing bottleneck problems. The case study exemplifies how narrative practice identifies and addresses bottleneck problems.

Conclusions

The article delves into the practical requirements of narrative medicine in healthcare and explores how medical training can address these needs. In addition, it offers valuable insights into the implementation of narrative medicine in medical practice.

Simultaneity of the Senses in the “Sirens” Chapter: Intermediality and Synaesthesia in James Joyce’s Ulysses
Authors: Frank Elisabeth
Published: August 2024

This article explores intermediality and synaesthesia in James Joyce’s Ulysses, particularly focusing on the “Sirens” chapter. It examines how Joyce, akin to Johann Sebastian Bach’s innovative musical techniques and Richard Wagner’s Gesamtkunstwerk concept, weaves a rich tapestry of sensory experiences through his narrative. Joyce’s use of intermedial techniques transcends traditional literary forms, creating a synaesthetic experience that blends visual and auditory elements. With this approach, he manages to convey a sense of simultaneity and polyphony that resembles a musical harmony, which is demonstrated through a detailed analysis of the structure, motifs, and thematic elements of the chapter. The article highlights how Joyce’s own innovative narrative techniques mirror musical composition techniques by Bach and Wagner, particularly in their use of fragmented polyphony, Klangfarbenmelodie, the alliterative preparation of words, leitmotifs, and thematic development, offering a reading experience that challenges and expands the boundaries of literary expression.

Could Gender Self-determination be a Medical Right?
Authors: Barros Marcos García de
Published: August 2024

It is crucial to evaluate the potential risks and repercussions of advocating for gender self-determination as a medical right. The concept of permitting individuals to determine their own gender without proper assessment or counseling raises concerns about patient safety and well-being, despite the fact that autonomy and self-determination are essential in healthcare decision-making. Gender dysphoria, a recognized psychiatric condition, necessitates a comprehensive evaluation by trained professionals to guarantee the most suitable diagnosis and treatment. Negative physical and psychological consequences may arise from permitting individuals to make irreversible decisions, such as hormone therapy or surgery, without adequate supervision. Furthermore, medical guidelines are in place to guarantee that patients receive evidence-based care that is consistent with the most effective transgender health practices. Consequently, it is pivotal for healthcare providers to exercise caution when it comes to gender self-determination and to prioritize the comprehensive care of transgender individuals by providing comprehensive support services, rather than relying solely on individual autonomy.
Online Marketplace Operators’ Civil Liability for Third Party Infringements of Trademark Rights
Authors: Drakšas Justinas
Published: August 2024

This paper presents an analysis of the possibility of civil liability application for operators of online marketplaces for third party trademark infringements in Lithuania. In order to meet the objectives of the work, the author analyses the concept of trademark use, reviews the recent case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the qualification of individual cases of trademark use, and discusses the positions on the requirements for online marketplaces with regard to content control and application of ‘safe harbours’. The paper concludes that, although the possibility of ‘traditional’ indirect civil liability for infringements of trademark rights is not currently provided for in Lithuanian law, the alternative measures that are already established, such as direct civil liability for unauthorised trademark use, or civil liability for breach of the general duty of care, suggest that the current model of civil liability for online marketplaces is sufficient.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini mencoba mendeskripsikan tentang pemikiran bagaimana imajinasi dipandang sebagai sumber ilmu pengetahuan menurut Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas yang terdapat dalam karyanya, yakni Prolegomena to The Metaphysics of Islam. Pemaknaan imajinasi seringkali mendapat pemaknaan yang negatif (khayalan dan fantasi) di kalangan masyarakat umum dn khusunya akademis, karena imajinasi dianggap tidak ada landasan realistis dan ilusi belaka. Penelitian ini menjawab pertanyaan Bagaimana Imajinasi Dipandang Sebagai Sumber Ilmu Pengetahuan menurut Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas? Menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, peneliti menggunakan metode deskriptif analitis, dan juga menggunakan metode pencarian data kepustakaan primer maupun sekunder. Untuk data kepustakaan primer, peneliti menggunakan buku karya Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas yakni Prolegomena to The Metaphysics of Islam.. Penelitian ini pada kesimpulannya, bahwa Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas membagi imajinasi menjadi dua fungsi ganda terkait dengan jiwa yaitu al-mutakhhayal dan al-mufakkirah. Imajinasi yang telah mengalami aktualisasi perkembangan melalui jalan ilmunasi oleh Kecerdasan Aktif (ruh al-qudus), akan dapat menangkap pengetahuan gagasan dan ide yang melampaui inderawi maupun citra-citra hasil cerapan inderawi. Imajinasi ini merupakan prinsip yang dibangun dengan aplikasi universal dan prinsip keniscayaan.  Abstract: This research attempts to describe the thoughts on how imagination is viewed as a source of knowledge according to Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas, as found in his work, Prolegomena to The Metaphysics of Islam. The meaning of imagination is often given a negative connotation (illusion and fantasy) among the general public and especially in academia, as imagination is seen as lacking a realistic foundation and merely an illusion. This research addresses the question of how imagination is viewed as a source of knowledge according to Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas. In answering that question, the researcher employed a descriptive-analytical method and also utilized both primary and secondary literature data collection methods. For the primary literature data, the researcher used the book by Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas titled "Prolegomena to The Metaphysics of Islam." This research concludes that Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas divides imagination into two dual functions related to the soul, namely al-mutakhhayal and al-mufakkirah. Imagination that has undergone the actualization of development through the path of knowledge by Active Intelligence (the spirit of holiness) will be able to grasp knowledge, concepts, and ideas that transcend sensory experiences and the images resulting from sensory perceptions. This imagination is a principle built on universal application and the principle of necessity.

For achieving the necessary industrial progress “Artificial Intelligence” has been one of the greatest inventions, there are numerous societal and organizational gains promised by the efficiency of Artificial Intelligence. The recent advancements in “Artificial Intelligence” are affecting businesses all around the globe. Various aspects of business have been affected by the indulgence of Artificial Intelligence and so has the investor decision. The current situation demands sustainability as a key determinant. So, as the decision-making revolves around it. To measure the sustainability practice adopted by the corporate the benchmark is the Environment Social Governance (ESG) disclosure practice. It has been gaining attention in recent times and investors prefer to invest in the stocks of companies which have good disclosure scores. Both Intuitional as well as retail investors. The awareness of ESG disclosure has led to the creation of ESG funds as well to cater for these needs. The Investors willfully pay increased charges for ESG funds. The investor will sacrifice the current monetary return for the benefit of society. The ESG reporting has developed through a cluster of The ESG disclosure Framework and standards. The two have distinction at a higher level as their purpose and utility change. As per the SASB standards website, the sustainability framework provides guidelines which are principle-based. However, this issue and its related aspects have not been vastly studied. This paper attempts to exactly understand the role played by Artificial Intelligence in the environment of social governance disclosure practices and how it is affecting the investor’s attitude.

Published: August 2024

Background: For patients with severe aortic stenosis, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a less invasive but equally effective treatment option compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). In 2019, we reported low rates of TAVI in the UK compared with other countries in western Europe and highlighted profound geographical variation in TAVI care. Here, we provide contemporary data on access to aortic valve replacement by either TAVI or SAVR across clinical commissioning groups in England. Methods: We obtained aggregated data from the UK TAVI registry and the National Adult Cardiac Surgery Audit between 2019 and 2023. Rates of TAVI and SAVR procedures per million population were reported by clinical commissioning groups. The relationship between TAVI and SAVR rates was determined using Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: In 2022/23, the rates of TAVI and SAVR in England were 136 per million population and 60 per million population, respectively. The observed increase in TAVI rates since 2019/20 corresponded with a decline in SAVR rates. There remains substantial variation in access to both procedures, with an over tenfold variation in TAVI rates, and an over fourfold variation in SAVR rates across clinical commissioning groups in England. No relationship was identified between the rates of TAVI and those for SAVR (correlation coefficient 0.06). Conclusion: Geographical heterogeneity in access to TAVI persists over time, with the low rates of TAVI in many areas not compensated for by higher rates of SAVR, indicating an overall inequality in the treatment of severe aortic stenosis.

Published: August 2024

Multiple sclerosis, also known as sclerosis multiplex, is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that occurs in over 2.9 millions individuals worldwide, most commonly in young to middle-aged adults, with a greater prevalence in females than males and in higher latitudes. There are different types of multiple sclerosis, varying in the presence and frequency of relapses and remissions. Various risk factors for the disorder have been identified as well – both modifiable and unmodifiable. Although many remain elusive, there are multiple theories regarding them. The causes of multiple sclerosis are yet to be established but a family history of the disease may increase the risk, and also environmental factors are believed to play a role. This paper focuses on the potentially modifiable factors. The most common theory seems to postulate an association between the disorder and viral infections, especially in individuals with Epstein–Barr virus infection, but also human herpesvirus 6, varicella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, or John Cunningham virus. Other risk factors include vitamin D insufficiency, or even its low levels, as multiple sclerosis is more frequent in higher latitudes. Obesity, especially during childhood and adolescence, can also be a risk factor of so-called paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis. Obesity is also linked to a higher severity of multiple sclerosis in adults. Risk factors associated with a potentially lower risk, or even some positive effects, include alcohol and caffeine consumption, as well as smoking and oral tobacco use.

We report a nosocomial outbreak caused by a multidrug-resistant carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDRCPKp), that was detected in six patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit between 20th of December 2023 and 15th of January 2024 in Ankara, Turkey. The investigation of this outbreak was started on 29th of December 2023. During the outbreak 11 samples were collected from the six patients with MDRCPKp. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed to determine the genetic relatedness and clonality of MDRCPKp strains. MDRCPKp was isolated in the tracheal aspiration culture, blood, urine, and screening samples. Five patients with MDRCPKp colonization developed healthcare-associated infection. In one patient MDRCPKp was isolated from tracheal aspirate and the screening cultures were considered as colonization not infection. PFGE analysis revealed that all isolates belonged to the same K. pneumoniae clone. MDRCPKp strain of this outbreak exhibited multidrug resistance and co-produced OXA-48 and NDM-1. This outbreak ended after application of strict infection control measures. An outbreak of MDRCPKp can occur in hospitals, especially in the intensive care units; thus, it should be detected early by infection control teams. A strong collaboration between infection control team and microbiology laboratory is essential to cope with MDR bacterial outbreaks in hospitals.
Allergens causing contact dermatitis of the feet: Investigation and analysis of allergic reaction causes
Authors: Lisiecka Maria Zofia
Published: August 2024

Introduction

Allergic contact dermatitis of the feet is a significant problem that affects the quality of life and requires attention from the medical community due to the number of studied and still unidentified allergens. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the available scientific data regarding the most common allergens that cause ACD of the feet.

Methods

Nickel sulphate, neomycin sulphate, thiuram mix and colophony occupy a significant place in the prevalence of allergies. The prevalence of sensitization to rubber and leather products can vary depending on the ethno-demographic characteristics of the country, as well as the specifics of a person's professional activity, such as the use of protective waterproof shoes, increased humidity of the microclimate, and atopy in anamnesis.

Results

Patch testing has been shown to be an important method for identifying allergens, however, not all footwear components are tested during patch testing with standard allergen series, requiring the use of patches made from patient shoe samples.

Conclusions

Expanding the scope of patch testing to include other possible allergens is important for the accurate diagnosis of ACD of the feet and a more detailed study of those allergens that were previously considered rare.

Effectiveness is a measure of the success or failure of achieving organizational goals. If the organization succeeds in achieving its goals, then the organization can be said to have been effective. Levies are payments from the people to the government, in which there is a remuneration relationship that is directly received by the payment of levies. This study aims to determine how effective the acceptance of parking levy from the Sumedang Regency Transportation Service is during the last five years, from 2016 to 2020 by looking at the dimensions of effectiveness according to Duncan, namely goal achievement, integration and adaptation. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. In this study, two sources of data were used, namely primary and secondary data sources. The data collection techniques are interview and documentation techniques. The sample selection technique used is purposive sampling and for data analysis, the researcher uses Miles and Huberman's model theory. The results showed that since 2016-2020 parking levy receipts were still classified as ineffective. This is based on the dimensions of achieving the goal of parking levy income which still focuses on collecting retribution on the edge of public roads, while incidental parking from community activities that should have been deposited has not been maximized. In the dimension of integration , although other government agencies have assisted in controlling, there are still many parties outside the existing system in the field also influence the income that should be deposited by the parking attendant to the Sumedang Regency Transportation Service officer, resulting in a lot of revenue leakage. From the adaptation dimension, the Sumedang Regency Transportation Service during 2016 to 2020 did not have many changes regarding the collection of parking fees.Keywords: Effectiveness, parking levy, local revenue

The development of the times and technology has led to an increase in efficiency in the world of work. But at the same time, the existence of this technology then slowly begins to replace some human jobs. Therefore, there is a need for reskilling in the workforce to reduce the number of unemployed caused by the industrial revolution 4.0. This research then aims to look at how policy strategies can be made to help implement workforce reskilling. This research will be carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach. This research method is a literature study using data from previous research which still has relevance to the contents of this research. The results of this study then found that through collaboration between the government and stakeholders, the government can anticipate changes in job trends and help develop new skills needed by the unemployed. By ensuring skills match job trends, individuals will be better prepared to deal with the changes that occur and increase their chances of finding jobs that match market needs. However, unfortunately the implementation of the reskilling policy still encounters several obstacles, such as a lack of resources and gaps in access owned by the community.
