Published: February 2021

Grandes mudanças na área pedagógica dos cursos de Odontologia têm sido discutidas baseando-se nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais dos Cursos de Graduação em Odontologia. Essas mudanças acabam incidindo mais sobre as clínicas odontológicas, e tornase imprescindível que o sistema de avaliação discente seja coerente com as propostas das Diretrizes Curriculares. Portanto, é nosso objetivo mostrar e propor um sistema de avaliação discente para toda e qualquer clínica odontológica. Esse sistema representa o somatório de três notas: uma nota prática (50%), uma nota teórica (30%) e uma nota de produtividade (20%). Ao final do semestre, o aluno deverá ter nota igual ou superior a 7,0 para ser aprovado. A nota prática representa o somatório da avaliação de três quesitos: conduta, material e procedimento. A nota teórica referese ao somatório das avaliações escritas e dos seminários, e a nota de produtividade é uma pontuação que reflete a quantidade de procedimentos concluídos pelo aluno. Após sete semestres de aplicação desse sistema de avaliação, concluímos que o processo avaliativo permite confrontar informações entre as diversas clínicas e os diversos alunos e professores de especialidades diferentes. Há uma uniformização de dados que possibilitam diagnóstico e discussão, os quais culminam com uma reavaliação constante de nossos objetivos dentro do curso de Odontologia.

Published: February 2021

Buscando facilitar e orientar a conduta humana dentro das atividades profissionais, em particular, o exercício da Odontologia, foi elaborado, em 1976, pelo Conselho Federal de Odontologia, o Código de Ética Odontológica (CEO), com a finalidade de educar e instruir o profissional, não sendo um instrumento punitivo para o cirurgião-dentista. Entretanto, sua compreensão não é simplória, o que se procurou demonstrar neste trabalho. Analisou-se a percepção dos cirurgiões-dentistas, alunos de cursos de especialização do Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais da Universidade de São Paulo (HRACUSP), sobre os aspectos éticos da odontologia, por meio de questionário com questões estruturadas e dividido em duas partes: a primeira relativa à identificação da amostra e a segunda parte relativa a questões inerentes ao conteúdo de artigos do Código de Ética Odontológica. Os resultados permitem concluir que existem dúvidas na interpretação de alguns artigos do CEO e que se faz necessária uma melhor orientação profissional para a correta compreensão do Código de Ética Odontológica.

Published: February 2021

Objetivo: La esclerosis lateral amiotrófica es una enfermedad del sistema nervioso central caracterizada por la degeneración progresiva de las neuronas motoras superiores e inferiores, produciendo así diversas complicaciones en el individuo, entras las cuales destacan los problemas respiratorios. La fisioterapia respiratoria tiene una gran importancia en el tratamiento de esta patología, mejorando la función pulmonar y el intercambio de gases, aumentando los volúmenes de aire, disminuyendo el trabajo respiratorio y facilitando la eliminación de las secreciones traqueo-bronquiales. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la bibliografía científica de los últimos cinco años sobre la fisioterapia respiratoria en pacientes con esclerosis lateral amiotrófica.
Diseño y metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda de artículos científicos en PubMed y Web of Science, entre el 16 de enero y el 7 de febrero del 2020, empleando los términos de búsqueda “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis” y “respiratory therapy”.
Resultados: Se obtuvieron un total de 217 resultados, de los cuales 19 fueron seleccionados tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Los artículos analizados llevan a cabo distintos tipos de intervención de fisioterapia respiratoria, la estimulación frénica, el Cough-Assist o terapia basada en ejercicio físico.
Limitaciones: La calidad de los estudios no siempre ha sido la más adecuada, y las intervenciones han sido muy heterogéneas.
Conclusión: A excepción de la estimulación frénica, los distintos tipos de intervenciones de fisioterapia respiratoria son beneficiosos para los pacientes con ELA.

Sistem pemilihan legislatif di Indonesia
Authors: Shandiano Farelsy
Published: February 2021

A. Latar Belakang Masalah Indonesia merupakan negara yang menganut demokrasi modern dengan perwakilan rakyat representatif, karena pada zaman modern ini tidak mungkin dilaksanakan pemerintahan rakyat secara langsung. Demokrasi merupakan “sistem politik mengenai tata cara mengikutsertakan rakyat dalam membuat suatu keputusan” (Soehino, 2010:1). Dengan demikian, manakala rakyat atau warga diikutsertakan dalam pembuatan keputusan, di situ ada demokrasi. Secara seder-hana demokrasi artinya “sistem pemerintahan dengan mengikutsertakan rakyat” (Fahmi, 2011:20). Hal ini sejalan dengan ketentuan Undang-Undang Dasar pasal 1 ayat (2), yaitu: “Kedaulatan berada di tangan rakyat dan dilaksanakan menurut Undang-Undang Dasar”. Ketentuan tersebut didasari prinsip sila keempat Panca-sila: “Kerakyatan yang dipimpin oleh hikmat kebijaksanaan dalam permusya-waratan perwakilan”. Ketentuan dan prinsip tersebut menegaskan mengenai ada dan harus terselenggaranya demokrasi di Indonesia. Ciri khas dari negara demokrasi ialah gagasan bahwa pemerintah yang demokratis adalah pemerintah yang terbatas kekuasaannya dan tidak dibenarkan bertindak sewenang-wenang terhadap warga negaranya. Kekuasaan negara dibagi sedemikian rupa sehingga kesempatan penyalahgunaan diperkecil dengan cara menyerahkan kepada beberapa orang atau badan dan tidak memusatkan kekuasaan pemerintahan dalam satu tangan atau badan. Demokrasi dikatakan sebagai ide dan institusionalisasi dari prinsip-prinsip kebebasan dan kesamaan menuju persetujuan politik melalui kedaulatan suara mayoritas yang dimasukkan dalam kerangka yuridis.

The mathematical nature of the universe and consciousness: the universe is a collection of self-driven mathematical entities; consciousness is the use of mathematical models by a Turing machine
Authors: Yu Xiaoyang
Published: February 2021

Humans are limited in what they know by the technical limitation of their cortical language network. A reality is a situation model. The universe is a collection of self-driven mathematical entities. If we are happy to accept randomness, it’s obviously possible that all other so-called “worlds” in the many-worlds interpretation don’t exist objectively. The so-called “physical interaction” (aka objective interaction) among any number of elementary particles is consistent with the so-called “physical law”. From the viewpoint of an imagined external observer (who is located somewhere outside of all worlds), in all worlds, every self-driven elementary particle is changing its state to match its fated state, together form a single fated self-driven state machine; the so-called “subjective reality” (aka the so-called “subjective conscious experience”) is actually the use of a mathematical model (MM) by a Turing machine (TM). The so-called “subjective reality” shouldn’t be able to alter/impact the fated world line of any elementary particle within this world. Except one objective MM which is a fitted MM of the objective reality, every other causality is not an objective MM but a Granger causality, and is an under-fitted MM of the objective reality.
BAIAP2L2 is differentially expressed in the lymph nodes of patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: February 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1-associated protein 2-like protein 2, BAIAP2L2, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. BAIAP2L2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of BAIAP2L2 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient recurrence-free survival, in lymph node positive patients but not in lymph node negative patients. Modulation of BAIAP2L2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Allostasis and metastasis: the yin and yang of childhood self-regulation
Authors: Wass Sam
Published: February 2021

Most research has studied self-regulation by presenting experimenter-controlled test stimuli and measuring change between a baseline period and the stimulus. But in the real world we are not passive recipients of discrete chunks of external stimulation, to which we in turn respond; rather, the real world is continuous and we self-regulate by adaptively selecting which aspects of the social environment that we attend to from one moment to the next. Here, we contrast two dynamic processes that guide this process – the ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ of self-regulation. First, allostasis, through which we dynamically compensate for change to maintain homeostasis. This involves upregulating in some situations and downregulating in others. And second, metastasis, the dynamical principle underling dysregulation. Through metastasis, small initial fluctuations can become progressively amplified over time. We contrast these processes at the individual level (i.e. by examining moment-to-moment change in one child, considered independently) and also at the inter-personal level (i.e. by examining change across a dyad, such as a parent-child dyad). Finally, we discuss practical implications of this approach in improving the self-regulation of emotion and cognition, in typical development and psychopathology.
Examining changes in parent-reported child and adolescent mental health throughout the UK’s first COVID-19 national lockdown.
Authors: Raw Jasmine , Waite Polly , Pearcey Samantha , Creswell Cathy , Shum Adrienne , Patalay Praveetha
Published: February 2021

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the lives of children and adolescents, forcing them into periods of prolonged social isolation and time away from school. Understanding the psychological consequences of the UK’s lockdown for children and adolescents, the associated risk factors, and how trajectories may vary for children and adolescents in different circumstances is essential so that the most vulnerable children and adolescents can be identified and appropriate support can be implemented. Methods Parents and carers (n = 2988) in the U.K. with children and adolescents aged between 4 and 16 years completed an online survey about their child’s mental health. Growth curve analysis was used to examine the changes in conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention and emotional symptoms between the end of March/beginning of April and July using data from four monthly assessments. Additionally, growth mixture modelling identified mental health trajectories for conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention and emotional symptoms separately and subsequent regression models were used to estimate predictors of mental health trajectory membership. Results Overall levels of hyperactivity and conduct problems increased over time whereas emotional symptoms remained relatively stable, though declined somewhat between June and July. Change over time varied according to child age, the presence of siblings, and with Special Educational Needs (SEN)/ Neurodevelopmental Disorders (ND). Subsequent growth mixture modelling identified three, four and five trajectories for hyperactivity/inattention, conduct problems and emotional symptoms, respectively. Though many children maintained “stable3low” symptoms, others experienced elevated symptoms by July. These children were more likely to have a parent/carer with higher levels of psychological distress, to have SEN/ND, or to be younger in age. Conclusions The findings support previous literature and highlight that certain risk factors were associated with poorer mental health trajectories for children and adolescents during the pandemic.
With a Little Help From my Friends? Perceived Friendship Quality and Narrative Identity in Adolescence

Published: February 2021

Stressful events are associated with various outcomes, but there is variability in these associations suggesting that the interpretation of these events is important. This interpretation is reflected in the narratives adolescents tell of events, which are largely constructed in social interactions. We examined the associations of perceived friendship quality with self-event connections and redemption in turning point narratives, in a sample of Dutch adolescents. Findings from regression analyses in a cross-sectional subsample (N = 1,087, Mage = 14.8) and a three-wave cross-lagged panel model in a longitudinal subsample (N = 186, Mage at Wave 1 = 14.7) showed that perceived friendship quality was associated with the presence of redemption sequences and self-event connections within time points, but not longitudinally.

Published: February 2021

This study aims to compare the best bankruptcy prediction models between Altman, Springate, Zmijewski and Grover models against companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange in the telecommunications sub-sector for the 2014-2019 period. The purposive sampling method is used to obtain a sample of companies with the following criteria: Companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange, the telecommunications sub-sector, the company has conducted an IPO in 2010, the company is obedient in reporting annual reports from 2014 - 2019 and the company is free from delisting issues. There are 4 companies that meet the purposive sampling criteria, namely PT. Telkom TBK, PT. Indosat TBK. PT. XL Axiata TBK and PT. Smartfren TBK. The data used in this research is secondary panel data. The results showed that only PT. Telkom which is in a healthy financial condition. Meanwhile, PT. Indosat, PT. XL Axiata and PT. Smartfren is consistently in an unhealthy condition based on the analysis of the Altman and Springate models. The calculation of Zmijewski's model and Grover's model gave inconsistent results. Comparative testing of the four bankruptcy analysis models resulted in the Altman, Springate and Grover models recording accurate results but Altman modelling is the best because it is an accurate, consistent, and tested model both descriptively and statistically.
Tackling the “wicked” conservation problem of tropical deforestation in global commodity supply chains using mixes of mechanisms
Authors: Lyons-White Joss , Jespersen Kristjan , Gallemore Caleb , Catalano Allison S. , Ewers Robert M. , Knight Andrew T.
Published: February 2021

Tropical deforestation in global agricultural commodity supply chains is a “wicked” problem. Attempted solutions to wicked conservation problems like tropical deforestation often involve idealised, technical mechanisms. For example, company commitments to “zero deforestation” have become a mainstay of global forest conservation efforts. To be resolved, however, wicked conservation problems require strategically-developed, context-specific mixes of mechanisms. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature from the policy sciences, energy and land-use policy, and conservation, we examine why the contextual complexity of wicked conservation problems demands mixes of mechanisms. We present an operational model of conservation that incorporates the mechanism mix concept. We then explore how the dynamism and uncertainty of wicked problems means mixes of mechanisms must be continually reconfigured. Drawing the concepts of contextual complexity, dynamism and uncertainty together, we propose a conceptual model – the “M3 Model” – which aids understanding of how mechanism mixes can be reconfigured to sustain progress towards a desired outcome. The M3 model has four practical implications, which we discuss with reference to supply chain initiatives to reduce deforestation. First, it makes the need to address multiple interacting variables explicit, countering the tendency to seek panaceas. Second, it emphasises the importance of analysing mechanisms’ contributions to problem amelioration, instead of their shortcomings as idealised solutions. Third, it highlights the possibility of failure, reorienting conservation practice towards learning. Fourth, it emphasises polycentric governance, reinforcing the need for distributed mechanism deployment across stakeholder groups. Our synthesis provides tools to support a holistic, systemic approach to tackling wicked conservation problems.
Critically Explore Perceptions of Human Development in Classical Muslim Educational Thought and Discuss its Implications for Contemporary Islamic Education.
Authors: Sidat Idris
Published: February 2021

Education is a contemporary social science that has received a lot of attention. As education defines society, it is imperative to introspect the philosophy of education. Moreover, the current philosophy of education in conventional settings is confined to empiricism. Thus, the broader concepts of education such as spiritual transformation and character reformation seem to be non-existent. The lack of discussion-based pedagogies compounds the educational crisis. This article aims to explore human development models relevant to Islamic education as its purpose is, alongside enhancing academic prowess, to provide spiritual transformation that leads to Gods pleasure and good character.  The inquiry uses a historical-textual methodology with a particular focus on psychological foundations of Islamic theory to answer its questions. It will aim to explore childhood developmental models briefly and the concept of self-reflection more specifically and how it can be applied in Islamic education. The key findings of the study illustrate the concept of the three types of Nafs and how self-reflection is integral in achieving transformation, a concept that is condoned in conventional educational practice. Muhāsibī’s Risālatul Mustarshidīn with Shaykh Abdul Fattāh Abū Ghudda’s footnotes is the primary text used to establish the broader purpose of education. A brief overview of Qushayrī’s Risālah and Ibn Qayyim’s Kitābul Rūh will be outlined.  Moreover, multiple attributes of human development conform to the demands of contemporary psychology to achieve a healthy mental transformation.

Educational realities of future social workers’ training
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Scienсes of Ukraine, O. B Varava
Published: February 2021

The article analyzes the educational realities and prospects of future social workers training. It is established that numerous social-related institutions need the increasing number of up-to-date multidisciplinary experts with different training levels that can consider and rely on economic and social reforms, effectively operate under the conditions of society development, skillfully study and apply the life-tested native and foreign experience of social work, take into account the dynamics and consequences of globalization. On the basis of generalization and systematization of scientific research, it was summarized that social work training in each country is based on its own conceptual model. In the process of determining the model of social workers’ training in Ukraine, it is necessary to consider and rely on economic and social reforms, because they influence and will decisively influence on the essence of social and socio-pedagogical activity in the future and on the system of requirements for social workers. The analysis of foreign experience of future social workers’ professional training is carried out. It is summarized that in Europe alone there are more than 420 institutions of education where one can get an education majoring in social work with the obligatory learning of the basics of social design of the accessible environment. The management of the social education system in Europe is usually centralized. It is concluded that an up-to-date social worker is viewed as an expert in the field of social engineering and technology, who has a thorough knowledge of the legal, moral and psychological features of human life. Currently, the issue of training reflective social workers has become acute. They should not only be able to apply the theory in practice but also to analyze and evaluate their own practice, critically reinterpret the acquired knowledge and skills, as well as continuously self-develop and progress by expanding their knowledge, skills, abilities to design an accessible environment for providing necessary social assistance.

The recent outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by novel SARS-CoV-2 has raised global health concerns putting many lives at stake. Such condition calls for an urgent demand for effective, available and affordable drugs to control the viral illness. Several different therapies are under study and no definite treatment has yet been approved. Hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial agent with immunomodulatory and anti-viral properties, remains the hot topic of discussion. The drug has demonstrated potent in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2. This article presents a review of published literature from the year 2020 (Jan-Apr). This aimed article aimed to review the effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine in treating patients with COVID-19. Based on the available literature, we recommend the use of this agent in treating patients with active SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Предложен метод определения поверхностного натяжения твердых тел по размерной зависимости некоторого физического свойства. Слой толщиной h=d назван слоем d(I), а слой при h≈10 d – слоем d(II) атомарно-гладкого кристалла. При h≈10 d начинает проявляться размерная зависимость физических свойств материала и такая структура называется наноструктурой. При h=d в поверхностном слое происходит фазовый переход. Он сопровождается резкими изменениями физических свойств, например, прямой эффект Холла-Петча меняется на обратный. Поверхностный слой d(II) ≈ 10d мы относим к размерным эффектам I рода. Фазовые размерные эффекты (размерные эффекты II рода) наблюдаются в области d(I). Эта область резко отличается от d(II). Фазовый переход при h=d может быть описан в рамках теории среднего поля Ландау с использованием параметра порядка.

Аналогичная ситуация возникает у магнитных наноструктур, галогенидов тугоплавких металлов, силицидов, сегнетоэлектриков и многих других металлических сплавов и неметаллов.

This study adopts FGDs as a research method. The discussion process was conducted in four different quarters that make up the community with 25 participants. Four research questions were formulated to guide the course of investigation. The findings of the study showed that a large portion of the community members are exposed to media messages on COVID-19 through the television. The findings also showed that, the community people particularly the educated ones watch TV on cable (GOTV and Startimes) and these are the people who shared information with family members, interpret it and take positive actions. While those who cannot read or write watch local NTA Auchi. These group of persons are few and mainly among the illiterate who source for news in local language.  A smaller proportion of the sample also affirmed that they do not watch TV or listen to radio for COVID-19 information due to hunger. This group maintained that they only watch Zee World channel. The findings also showed that no group talked about radio with emphasis. It is therefore, agreed that the rural community people in Iyamho do not depend on radio for information including COVID-19 information. In conclusion, the researchers agreed that rural dwellers of Iyamho are exposed to COVID-19 information on TV and the information has shaped their behavior by their interpretation of the messages received. The researchers also conclude that, radio is no longer fashionable in the rural community. It is therefore, recommended that subsequent studies on rural dwellers media message consumption should painstakingly interrogate the influence of social media. Again, in the future, if there is need for health awareness campaign, the government and health agencies should consider the use of traditional media to pass the information across to rural dwellers since illiterate folks still exit in the rural communities. TV information on health matters should be translated in rural languages on TV stations that are on GOTV and Startimes cables.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the main cause of dementia worldwide, is characterized by a complex and multifactorial etiology. In large part, excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system is mediated by glutamate and its receptors are involved in synaptic plasticity. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which require the agonist glutamate and a coagonist such as glycine or the D-enantiomer of serine for activation, play a main role here. A second D-amino acid, D-aspartate, acts as agonist of NMDA receptors. D-amino acids, present in low amounts in nature and long considered to be of bacterial origin, have distinctive functions in mammals. In recent years, alterations in physiological levels of various D-amino acids have been linked to various pathological states, ranging from chronic kidney disease to neurological disorders. Actually, the level of NMDA receptor signaling must be balanced to promote neuronal survival and prevent neurodegeneration: this signaling in AD is affected mainly by glutamate availability and modulation of the receptor’s functions. Here, we report the experimental findings linking D-serine and D-aspartate, through NMDA receptor modulation, to AD and cognitive functions. Interestingly, AD progression has been also associated with the enzymes related to D-amino acid metabolism as well as with glucose and serine metabolism. Furthermore, the D-serine and D-/total serine ratio in serum have been recently proposed as biomarkers of AD progression. A greater understanding of the role of D-amino acids in excitotoxicity related to the pathogenesis of AD will facilitate novel therapeutic treatments to cure the disease and improve life expectancy.

Background: The identification of blood-borne biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias is more feasible at the population level than obtaining cerebrospinal fluid or neuroimaging markers. Objective: This study determined the association of blood microvesicles, derived from cells of the neurovascular unit, with brain amyloid-β deposition in menopausal women. Methods: A subset of women from the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study underwent brain amyloid-β positron emission tomography three years following cessation of study treatment with placebo (PL, n = 29), transdermal 17β-estradiol (tE2; n = 21), or oral conjugated equine estrogen (oCEE; n = 17). Isolated peripheral venous blood microvesicles were analyzed by digital flow cytometry using fluorophore conjugated antibodies directed toward total tau, amyloid-β 1–42 (Aβ1–42), neuron specific class III β-tubulin (Tuj1), microglia ionized calcium -binding adaptor molecule 1(Iba1), glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP), and low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein1 (LRP1). Principal components analysis reduced the dimensionality of these selected six markers to two principal components (PCs). Proportional odds ordinal logistic regression analysis was used with amyloid-β deposition regressed on these PCs. Results: Only the number of microvesicles positive for Aβ1–42 differed statistically among prior treatment groups (median [IQR]: 6.06 [2.11, 12.55] in PL; 2.49 [0.73, 3.59] in tE2; and 4.96 [0.83, 10.31] in oCEE; p = 0.032). The joint association between the 2 PCs and brain amyloid-β deposition was significant (p = 0.045). Conclusion: Six selected markers expressing peripheral blood microvesicles derived from cells of the neurovascular unit, when summarized into two principal components, were associated with brain amyloid-β deposition.

We explored the experience from caregivers of people with dementia (PwD) during mandatory confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. An online survey, which studied the perceptions of the main problems and consequences experienced during confinement, was answered by 106 family caregivers of PwD. Results showed that family caregivers of PwD experienced psychological problems, like anxiety, mood, sleep, or eating disorders during confinement and felt less supported when they had to handle challenging behaviors or offer meaningful activities. An innovative multi-tiered supportive approach is needed which considers a post-pandemic reality and ensures the continuity of quality care for PwD and their family careers.
