Bentuk Komunikasi Netlingo Dalam Pola Komunikasi Remaja
Authors: Wulandari Ananda , Hasmawati Fifi , Muslimin Muslimin
Published: January 2025

Netingo is a form of communication adapted from social media, where words or messages are conveyed in sounds that are not in accordance with good rules. However, Netlingo is used when communicating with those who already have an understanding. Typing errors, capitalization errors and punctuation errors are commonplace in Netlingo. This is because of the assumption that the text is speaking so that grammar is not important. The pattern of communication referred to by the author is the form or way teenagers currently communicate. Adolescence is a period from which the human age experiences the most changes, thus bringing it from childhood to adulthood. The changes that occur include aspects of human life that are physical, spiritual, thoughts, feelings and social. The use of Netlingo is felt to have become a verbal oportoir for the majority of young people today. The problem is that there is still a competency disparity between the young and the old, causing misperceptions which in time will lead to miscommunication between them. In practice, the linguistic creativity of young people (adolescents) has given rise to language divergence, so it is not surprising that the Netlingo phenomenon has created disparities or differences in communication between young people and old people in society.

Published: January 2025

Aim of the study The purpose of the study is to investigate whether bone quality information obtained by CT, could provide valuable information about the health of the patient's bone system, the cardiovascular one and, implicitly dental status and treatment risks. Materials and methods Radiologic views were enrolled from the archive system of the radiology department. We focussed on a group of 54 patients diagnosed with osteoporosis and cardiovascular pathology, admitted to the "St. Spiridon" County Clinical Emergency Hospital, Iasi. All the patients underwent CT angiography for their underlying pathology. Results The results showed that bone density of the femoral head, measured by this direct method, can give important information about the existence of a degree of bone demineralization. Corroborating the two CT techniques for measuring bone density, with the highlighting of the periarticular vascular system, brings measurable and certain data on the state of health of the entire cardiovascular system. The direct measurement of the acetabular density, as cancellous bone, still requires extensive studies in order to be edified as a study method. Age and pathology-related changes in vascular morphology, studied by means of radiology provide an important contribution to the literature. Conclusions the dental practitioner must take into account the possibility that two entities with great potential risk for health and oral treatments can coexist in different non-diagnostic forms and amplify these problems.

Published: January 2025

Aim of the study. Recent studies have shown that medical errors are an increasingly common cause of patient morbidity and mortality. For this reason, there are several approaches to identifying errors and their causes. These approaches include but are not limited to retrospective reporting, error analysis, or forward-looking analysis to identify high-risk situations. In this context, the research aims to analyse a series of sources and methods that contribute to the qualitative assessment of data used in patient safety risk analysis.
Results. The results of our study show that aggregating and comparing data across organizations, domains, or applications is quite complex. Our analysis highlights that multiple data representations can be helpful in risk analysis. However, other application-specific and often organization-specific pictures limit the ability to share patient safety data. To aggregate data regionally and nationally and to conduct studies of patient safety risks and interventions, we believe it is necessary to implement a standard reference data model and terminology that can be widely applied.

Genetic factors play a significant role in the complex etiology of non-syndromic tooth agenesis. However, little is known about the genetic components that affect frequently occurring dental variations. Our objectives were to examine the correlation between different morphometric characteristics of the upper first permanent molars and genetic variants of the MSX1 gene in subjects with known genetic changes. Morphometric measurements were made for 31 individuals with non-syndromic tooth agenesis and 69 controls, with known genetic background. A total number of 167 upper permanent molar teeth were examined. To determine the morphological changes of the upper first permanent molars, the dental cast of each participant was examined. We observed statistically significant results at the level of the MSX1 rs12532 and MSX1 rs8670 genes when we examined the presence and the size of the cusp of Carabelli. Variations in morphological results were linked to the MSX1 rs8670 mutation and our results demonstrate that patients without hypodontia have more frequent Carabelli cusps than subjects with hypodontia.

Aim of the study Ethical problems most often arise in research. One of the most important ethical rules governing research on humans is that participants must give their informed consent before taking part in a study. Informed consent is therefore a vital part of the research process, and as such entails more than obtaining a signature on a form. Most researchers however, do not have the requisite knowledge of the importance of informed consent in research. This paper attempts a synopsis of the place of informed consent in research study. Materials and methods A review of literature on informed consent in research. Literature search was done using Google search engine as well as international and local journals. Results Informed consent as an aspect of medical ethics, balances autonomy and beneficence, and provides adequate assurance of voluntary and autonomous participation without negative repercussions on access to study benefits. The search showed that this if adhered to in research, will surely maintain the dignity of man and the integrity of research as a field of human endeavour. Conclusions Researchers must therefore ensure that potential research participants be given sufficient information about a study, in a format they understand, to enable them to exercise their right to make an informed decision whether to participate in a given research.

The autoimmune process that induces type 1 diabetes can also affect other organs, leading to the development of additional autoimmune diseases in patients, thus hindering diabetes control. The most common comorbidities include autoimmune thyroid diseases and celiac disease. Globally, this subject is increasingly drawing the attention of researchers, given the magnitude and severity of the association between autoimmune diseases and type 1 diabetes. The aim of the present study is to assess the prevalence of autoimmune diseases, with the primary focus on celiac disease, associated with type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents, as well as their impact on the progression of type 1 diabetes. Material and methods: The present study was conducted within the Pediatric Section, Pediatric Diabetology Department of the Emergency Clinical Hospital "St. Apostle Andrew" in Constanța, including 15 cases diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in children during the period 2017-2022. Results: The patients included in the study are aged between 1 and 13 years highlighting the age group of 3-6 years as the most commonly encountered. The most commonly encountered HbA1c values are in the range of 10-12%, accounting for 53% of the total, we can thus observe a prevalence of high and very high HbA1c values. In order to confirm the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, specific antibodies were sampled, 97% of patients being tested positive for at least one antibody. Conclusions: The association between diabetes mellitus and another autoimmune disease is encountered at a relatively high percentage. Higher levels of HbA1c at the onset of type 1 diabetes have been associated with an increased risk of long-term complications.

Aim of the study. In this study, we examined how the choice of fabrication technology impacts the flexural strength of denture bases, considering the potential long-term consequences of permanent stresses on these structures. Such stresses can eventually result in cracking, fracture, or a loss of adaptation within the prosthetic field, which undergoes dynamic changes over time. Material and methods. The flexural strength was tested on specimens made of the same material (based on thermopolymerizable PMMA), using three different technologies: the classic press packing process and traditional polymerization, the injection technology and polymerization under constant pressure and an original suction-injection process (vacuum-pressure alternation), with polymerization under continuous pressure. The actual testing of the flexural strength was carried out in collaboration with the Department of Strength of Materials within the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture Timisoara. Results & Conclusions. Superior outcomes were achieved through the suction-injection method, with polymerization under sustained pressure, in comparison to injection techniques associated with polymerization under constant pressure. These results surpassed those attained through manual press packing procedures and traditional hot polymerization methods.

This paperwork aims to identify the dentition’s changes in genetic diseases and to find solutions to solve them. Method: We studied 31 patients with different genetic diseases (Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Prader-Willy syndrome, Bardet-Biel syndrome, Tourette syndrome , Pfeiffer syndrome,and schizophrenia ). The patients were of school age (7-14 years old) and followed socialization programs within a foundation, the study taking place over 1 year). Conclusion: the most frequent cases were represented by dental malocclusion (98,16%), correlated with mental retardation and facial dysmorphism (74,2%), shape and structure anomalies (76,11%), mandibular hypoplasia (33,3%) and 6% pigmentation on the mucous membranes. Conclusions: We believe that the health education of parents with rare genetic diseases that affect skeletal development should be emphasized in order to ensure better oral health in this group. The health system should develop screening strategies and education and support services. Also, access to dental treatments for patients with rare genetic diseases should be supported through various programs.

Published: January 2025

In general terms, neoplastic conditions are characterized by increasing in cell proliferation and decreasing in cell apoptosis. The multiplication of atypical neoplastic cells, through their invasive capacity, leads to the infiltration of tissues or organs through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system.
In this context, chemotherapy remains one of the most used treatment modalities, contrary to the progress made in recent years regarding the management of cancer in the Oro-Maxillo-Facial (OMF) sphere. This is applied either alone or associated with other therapeutic methods to block abnormal cell proliferation.
The great inconvenience of chemotherapy is the lack of selectivity because it acts both on tumor cells and normal cells in the body.
The oral cavity is very vulnerable to the direct and indirect toxic effects of chemotherapy. This fact is primarily due to local peculiarities that include: a high rate of mucosal cell turnover, the presence of a complex and diverse microflora in the oral cavity as well as the small traumatic injuries present as a result of the exercise of normal oral functions (mastication, swallowing, phonation).

Published: January 2025

Menopause is a non-pathological change which involve the permanent cessation of menstruation for at least 12 months and occurs in women with an average age of 51 years in the context of non-pathological estrogen deficiency.
The effects of menopause are closely related to the lack of ovarian hormones, a fact that induces a physical and emotional instability of the woman with a direct impact on the health of the oral cavity.
This paper reviews the changes in the oral mucosa in the peri- and post-menopause phases. The most frequently reported changes are: dryness of the oral cavity, sensation of decreased amount of saliva, burning sensation, dysgeusia, altered tolerance to pain and the possibility of neurological manifestations. The dentist and general practitioner must recognize the variety of signs and symptoms that occur in the context of this physiological stage and, at the same time, must focus on the symptomatic management of oral health changes.

Published: January 2025

Since loading is increasingly believed to be a determining factor in the treatment outcome with oral implants, there is a need to expand the knowledge related to the biomechanics of oral implants. The aim of this study is to gain insight in the distribution and magnitude of occlusal forces on oral implants carrying fixed prostheses. This is done by in vivo quantification and qualification of these forces, which implies that not only the magnitude of the load but also its type (axial force). Occlusal forces on the supporting implants were quantified and qualified during controlled load application of 850 N on occlusal face of PMMA crown. The maximum displacement value is 0.16 mm, and the bone deformation in the implant entry area is 0.12-0.13 mm. It is also observed that the implant is slightly stressed on the outside and the threaded tip of the implant is more heavily stressed (about 300 MPa), with the following increasing threads reducing their contact stresses. The crown, made of PMMA, absorbs the external force over an area approximated by a circle. On this surface, the Von Mises stresses do not exceed 70 MPa, which are not at all dangerous as shear stresses.

Chronic periodontitis is a disease caused by several factors; therefore, it can be called a multifactorial disease. Such risk factors include smoking, diabetes, genetics, depression, and stress. Depression is one of the chronic conditions with the highest prevalence worldwide. There is evidence to support the association between psychological disorders and the physiological and behavioral precursors of caries and periodontal disease, suggesting that such a connection may exist. Antidepressant and anxiolytic medication have been associated with decreased salivary flow and poor oral hygiene. The present study aimed to examine the local inflammatory status of patients with periodontal disease and no other systemic conditions and patients with periodontal disease and depression. Between February 2024 and March 2024, we conducted this study on 40 patients aged 20 and 48, evaluating the Quigley Hein Plaque Index, the GI Index of Löe and Silness, and the PBI Index. Analyzing the obtained results, we observed that the values of the periodontal parameters, such as the hygiene index, the gingival inflammation index, and the papillary bleeding index, were significantly higher in the group of patients with periodontal disease and depression compared to the group of patients with only periodontal disease.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a tool for measuring morphometric and volumetric measurements of the orbit. Patients and methods: Morphometric and volumetric values of 100 orbits (50 subjects, 21 men/29 women) were measured using CBCT. Their mean and standard deviation were measured and analyzed. The measurement were realized using two imaging diagnosis softwares: Romexis and Radiant. Results: CBCT could accurately measure the various morphometric and volumetric parameters of the orbit. The results obtained from the measurement of parameters on CBCT in specific sections at both orbits are: the mean cranio-caudal diameter of the orbit was 38.2 mm, the mean transverse diameter of the orbit was 34.22 mm, the average of the antero-posterior diameter of the orbit was 47.41 mm, the average orbital volume was 83.55 cm3. The maximum and mean value of the left antero-posterior diameter in the axial plane was higher when measured with the RadiAnt program, while the minimum value showed a higher result when measured with Romexis. Conclusion: CBCT is an important viable tool for morphometric and volumetric measurements of the orbit and other craniofacial structures. It can also assess age and gender variability. The low cost, high accuracy, low radiation, and ease of use can help in reproducibility among the different living populations.

Published: January 2025

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a significant global concern, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Effective disinfection and sterilization practices among healthcare workers (HCWs), particularly nurses, are vital for preventing HAIs. However, adherence to established protocols is inconsistent, and research examining the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses in this domain is limited. Methods: This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with disinfection procedures among a random sample of nurses from eight public hospitals. Data were collected through structured face-to-face interviews using a validated questionnaire. Statistical analyses included multivariate logistic and linear regression to evaluate predictors of knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with disinfection practices. Results: Of the 540 nurses approached, 533 participated (response rate: 98.7%). While most nurses recognized the importance of disinfection in preventing HAIs, only 30% correctly identified urinary and respiratory tract infections as the most common HAIs. Higher education levels were significantly associated with greater knowledge and adherence to proper disinfection practices (OR = 1.68, p = 0.028). Despite positive attitudes toward disinfection protocols, adherence to correct practices varied, with only 62.6% appropriately disinfecting surgical wounds and 57.5% performing proper hand hygiene. The majority expressed a strong interest in further education on disinfection. Conclusion: This study highlights critical gaps in nurses' knowledge and inconsistent adherence to disinfection protocols despite positive attitudes. Addressing these deficiencies through targeted education and training programs is essential to improve compliance, enhance patient safety, and reduce the incidence of HAIs.

Background: Chronic skin wounds, particularly pressure injuries, pose significant challenges in pediatric patients, often resulting from immobility, malnutrition, and other complex health issues. Optimizing nutrition is crucial for promoting healing and maintaining skin integrity in this vulnerable population. Methods: This review analyzes existing literature on the role of nutritional interventions in the management of chronic skin wounds in pediatric patients. A systematic search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase, focusing on studies published from 2018 to 2023. Key parameters included macro and micronutrient requirements, assessment tools, and multidisciplinary approaches. Results: The findings indicate that adequate nutritional support significantly enhances wound healing in pediatric patients with chronic skin wounds. Macronutrients, particularly protein, are essential for tissue repair, while micronutrients such as zinc and vitamin C play critical roles in immune function and collagen synthesis. The review highlights the importance of individualized nutritional assessments and the integration of registered dietitians in the care team to optimize nutritional strategies tailored to each child's needs. Conclusion: Implementing a structured nutritional management plan is vital for improving outcomes in pediatric patients with chronic skin wounds. Continuous monitoring and adjustment of nutritional intake can enhance healing processes, reduce complications, and improve overall health. Future research should focus on standardized protocols for nutritional interventions and further explore the impact of specific micronutrient supplementation in pediatric wound care.
The Efficacy of the Self in Adonis's Autobiography "Here You Are, O Time
Authors: Radwan Laila Shaaban , Al-Hassan Haifa
Published: January 2025

Adonis wrote his autobiography entitled "Here You Are, O Time" after the concept of modernity had matured in his mind and his critical project had become clear. He aimed to re-evaluate the past from the perspective of the present to demonstrate what he had accomplished for the revival of poetry and to affirm the correctness of his critical vision despite the multitude of his adversaries and enemies. As one of the poets and thinkers who took upon themselves the task of renewing Arabic poetry, he depicted in his autobiography an image of his self about itself, valuing the actions and stances it had taken, with an overwhelming sense of the self's distinction, uniqueness, and superiority over others. This study examines the efficacy of this self in Adonis's autobiography, which appears prominently with an unparalleled status, undertaking significant tasks and overcoming all the obstacles it faced. This granted it an awareness of the value of its achievements, becoming a voice that overshadowed other voices, remaining unique in undertaking the mission of rescuing poetry from decline. Therefore, all elements of the autobiography revolved around it, and other topics branched from it, extending beyond the scope of depicting the self to portraying its relationship with the other
The Legal Status of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Its Reflection in International Administrative Law
Authors:   Faculty of Law, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, Handrlica Jakub , Blahová Luisa ,   Faculty of Law, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic
Published: January 2025

The Republic of China (Taiwan) controls a compact territory, with inhabitants settled there possessing Taiwanese citizenship. At the same time, it established its own legal framework and enforces this framework by its own judicial and administrative structures. The fact is, however, that only eleven member states of the United Nations and the Holy See maintain full diplomatic relations with Taiwan as a sovereign state. The problem, as discussed very recently in international private law, arises in those states which maintain no diplomatic relations with it. This discussion also has relevance for the field of administrative law. Taiwan maintains its own administration, applying its own law vis-á-vis its own citizens. Consequently, the question arises whether the laws of this nation’s administrative laws have any effect in those states which do not maintain diplomatic relations. In this respect, this article argues for a ‘special status’ for the law of Taiwan in their relations with international administrative law. In strict contrast to other non-recognised entities, Taiwan neither exists in a kind of “legal limbo”, nor under an international boycott. Despite the absence of diplomatic recognition, the presence of cooperation and trust vis-á-vis the Taiwanese administration allows the application of its laws in certain specific cases. At the same time, however, the quasi-independent status of this entity also implies certain restrictions concerning the status of Taiwanese citizens.
Soil Nutrient Prediction for Precision Agriculture with ML Algorithms
Authors: A. SRI LAKSHMI  , JYOTHI N M
Published: January 2025

Soil nutrient prediction is critical for precision agriculture, enabling better crop management and sustainable farming practices. Accurate predictions can optimize fertilizer use, reduce environmental impact, and enhance yield. Traditional models often struggle with the complex relationships in soil data, requiring advanced machine learning techniques. This study aims to compare the performance of two advanced boosting algorithms, CatBoost and LightGBM, for soil nutrient prediction using the Crop Recommender Dataset with Soil Nutrients from Kaggle. The dataset was preprocessed, including normalization, handling missing values, and feature encoding where necessary. CatBoost and LightGBM were trained and optimized for regression tasks to predict soil nutrient levels. Performance was evaluated using metrics such as RMSE, MAE, and R². CatBoost achieved an RMSE of 1.85 and an R² of 94.67%, while LightGBM recorded an RMSE of 1.92 and an R² of 94.11%. Both models demonstrated high accuracy, with CatBoost slightly outperforming LightGBM. The study highlights the effectiveness of boosting algorithms in soil nutrient prediction, with CatBoost proving slightly superior in terms of accuracy and interpretability. These findings emphasize the potential of ML in advancing precision agriculture.

Authors: Faiz Rida , Ahmed Sufyan , Iqbal Mahrukh
Published: January 2025

Objective
To assess the functional outcome and impact on the quality of life after treatment for squamous cell carcinoma using Qol questionnaire. To assess the level of anxiety and depression among patients treated for SCC. To emphasize the implementation of the QoL questionnaire as a regular assessment tool to identify post-treated patients' special needs and improve care protocol.

Methodology
A cross-sectional survey was done with post-operative patients of oral squamous cell carcinoma, where a structured, closeended questionnaire was used comprised of 30 items that are intended to inquire about patient's post-operative status of quality of life based on standardized scales as EORTC Quality of life (QLQ-C30), Quality of life Questionnaire Head & Neck (QLQ-H&N35) and HADS Questionnaire of hospital Anxiety and depression scale. However, the sample was subdivided into three groups according to the treatment received Patients treated with surgery & reconstruction, Patients treated with Radiotherapy, and Patients treated with Surgery + Reconstruction and Radiotherapy respectively. The data was collected from three tertiary care hospitals and the total sample size was 120.

Results and conclusion
Treatment that included both surgery and radiotherapy resulted in the highest level of symptom burden and psychological morbidity including depression and anxiety. These changes were most devastating to younger patients as they mostly lamented over loss of bodily function, reduced ability to work and changes in body appearance became key determinants of social and psychological well-being. The study also highlights the need to establish a more long-term follow-up beyond
treatment and perform a QoL questionnaire to discover per-patient needs.
Peer-Led or Faculty-Led? Investigating the Best Approach to Journal Clubs for Postgraduation Trainees, A Quasi Experimental Study.
Authors: Amin Fatima , Kaukab Tazmeen , Khan Humna
Published: January 2025

Introduction:
Journal clubs are essential in postgraduate education. They promote critical appraisal and understanding of research articles. Faculty-led journal clubs offer structured guidance, while peer-led models emphasize collaboration and engagement. Understanding which approach better supports trainees’ learning can inform educational strategies in postgraduate training programs.
Objective:
To compare the perceived effectiveness of peer-led versus faculty-led journal clubs in enhancing postgraduate trainees’ understanding of research articles.
Methodology:
A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 60 postgraduate trainees randomly assigned to peer-led (n=30) or faculty-led (n=30) journal clubs. Identical articles were discussed in standardized sessions. A validated post-session questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale assessed trainees’ perceptions of clarity of article content, confidence in interpreting results, and ability to identify key findings. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests.
Results:
The faculty-led group reported higher clarity of content (4.4 ± 0.5 vs. 3.8 ± 0.6, p=0.02) and confidence in interpreting results (4.3 ± 0.5 vs. 3.9 ± 0.7, p=0.04). Both groups scored similarly on identifying key findings (4.1 ± 0.6 vs. 3.9 ± 0.6, p=0.15). Overall, both groups provided positive feedback, with faculty-led sessions praised for structure and peer-led sessions valued for promoting collaboration and engagement.
Conclusion:
Both peer-led and faculty-led journal clubs effectively enhance trainees' understanding of research articles, with faculty -led sessions excelling in clarity and confidence. A hybrid model combining the strengths of both approaches may maximize learning outcomes. Future research should explore objective measures of learning and test these models in diverse educational settings.
