Childhood obesity is a significant global public health issue, closely linked to various oral health challenges, including dental caries, periodontal disease, and malocclusion. Obese children are more prone to these dental problems due to dietary habits that include high sugar and carbohydrate intake, poor oral hygiene practices, and systemic inflammation. This review explores the common oral health issues faced by obese children and emphasizes the importance of preventive strategies and tailored treatment approaches. Preventive measures include promoting healthy dietary habits, improving oral hygiene practices, and ensuring regular dental check-ups. Dietary modifications, such as reducing the intake of sugary snacks and beverages, play a crucial role in preventing tooth decay and other dental problems. Educating children and caregivers about proper brushing and flossing techniques and the use of fluoride toothpaste and dental sealants further supports oral health. Regular dental visits allow for early detection and management of dental issues, with professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and appropriate restorative and periodontal therapies being integral components of care. The outcomes of these comprehensive treatment strategies are generally positive, leading to improved oral health and overall quality of life for obese children. Multidisciplinary collaboration among healthcare providers, including dentists, pediatricians, and nutritionists, is essential to develop effective care plans that address both obesity and oral health. This integrated approach ensures that obese children receive holistic care that promotes lifelong healthy habits, reducing the risk of future dental and systemic health problems. The review underscores the necessity of a concerted effort to address the intertwined issues of obesity and oral health in children, highlighting the potential for significant health improvements through targeted prevention and treatment strategies.

Published: September 2024

Long bones fracture is one of the most complicated surgeries in orthopedics and the progress in the techniques as well as technologies used has recorded a steady progression in the last few years. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), computer-assisted surgery and improved imaging techniques can all be cited as impacting on emerging practices. Conversely, the success of such techniques and their influences on the performance results should continue to be assessed in order to adjust the treatment approaches and patients’ conditions. This paper aimed at reviewing and researching current journals and literature on the topic of managing long bone fractures with specific emphasis on the new developments in surgery, imaging, and after care. Included articles were randomized control trials, cohort studies, meta-analysis, from reputable orthopedic journals and evaluated both effectiveness, and adverse outcomes of these advancements. In light of the study, it emerges that less invasive procedures in thoracic surgery lead to fewer postoperative complications and quicker convalescence time among the patients; and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative fluoroscopy improves diagnostic accuracy and also surgical localization. Computer assisted surgery and augmented reality have been recognized as useful adjuncts in both the preoperative planning and intra operative navigation through the surgical field but they are still not widely used due to the costs associated with the purchase of equipment and initial technical difficulties. In particular, the use of these technologies successfully advanced the clinical efficiency in the treatment of long bone fractures.
Advances in food fortification: Ensuring a healthier humanity, types, and analytical methods
Authors: Prajapati Parixit , Sharma Ragini
Published: September 2024

Food fortification is the practice of improving food products' nutritional value by adding necessary vitamins and minerals. This practice is typically implemented to address widespread deficiencies of these nutrients in the population and improve public health. Fortification can be achieved through various methods, including adding specific micronutrients to staple foods such as flour, oil, or salt, as well as through the addition of micronutrients to processed or packaged foods. The benefits of food fortification include reduced rates of malnutrition and related health problems, improved overall health and cognitive development, and increased productivity. Despite these benefits, there are also potential challenges to the implementation of food fortification programs, including the need for accurate monitoring and assessment to ensure the appropriate use of fortificants and to prevent over-fortification. Despite these challenges, food fortification remains a promising strategy for improving public health and reducing the burden of micronutrient deficiencies globally.

Authors: Hendra Hendra Agus Prayoga , Khaidir Afriva
Published: September 2024

This research aim was to explore the form of religious hybridity carried out by the Kintamani Bali Chinese ethnic group as part of the diversity of Chinese ethnicity in Indonesia. Regarding religious hybridity in the Kintamani Balinese Chinese ethnic group, the reason for choosing thisresearch was because the Balinese Chinese ethnicity is  different from the Chinese Indonesian ethnicity in general; here they find unification and assimilation with Balinese culture, resulting in a dualism of cultural identity. This research used a qualitative approach with ethnographicmethods, data collection through participant observation and in-depth interviews, and is supported by other secondary references. This research was analyzed using Homi Bhabha’s hybridity theory and Parson’s functional theory. Research results show since the arrival of ethnic Chinese in northern Bali, they have established economic and political relations with the Bangli kingdom, where there is a good relationship between ethnic Chinese and the king of Bangli, so that it has an impact on the social and cultural life of the Balinese Chinese ethnic, namely the existence of religious hybridity that occurs. The first can be seen in terms of religious rituals such as daily prayer activities,  Second, there is hybridization in terms of places of worship, The third is hybridization in terms of religious ornamentsand worship facilities. The causal factor is the first one amalgamation, a belief and philosophy of life for the Kintamani Chinese ethnic group, the existence of past history and open relationships, high tolerance, opennessto differences, and not questioning religious issues. A new identity, namely the dualism of cultural identity attached to the Kintamani Chinese ethnic group. Therefore, this plays a role in the socio-cultural life of the village and creates harmony with the Balinese Hindu community.

Authors: Razak Syaparuddin , Raking Jumriani , Rahmawati Anita
Published: September 2024

This study aims to comprehensively understand the factors that shape reluctance toward zakat payment in zakat institutions among Muslims, addressing a significant research gap. To achieve this, the study identifies and addresses barriers hindering zakat payment in these institutions. Employing a modified TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior) framework tailored to the context of reluctance, the study employs SmartPLS (v. 4.0.8.9) software for analysis, based on 303 online survey responses. The study reveals the impactful influence of negative attitude, low subjective norms, and low confidence on Muslims' reluctance to pay zakat in zakat institutions, while the absence of proper socialization does not exhibit a similar effect. Moreover, the research validates the impact of low confidence and weak intention on Muslims' reluctance to pay zakat. The mediating role of weak intention in the relationship between negative attitude, low subjective norms, and low confidence level, shapes Muslims' reluctance to pay zakat. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, encompassing educational campaigns, community engagement, and self-development initiatives, to foster positive attitudes and confidence, thereby enhancing zakat compliance.

Life imprisonment in Poland: Issues and Challenges
Authors: Polak-Kruszyk Aleksandra
Published: September 2024

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this article is to analyze recent legislative changes to life imprisonment in Poland and to examine the consequences of introducing an absolute form of this penalty, called “an absolute life sentence”.
Methodology: This paper combines two methods: a comparison of legal documents and legal writers' thoughts and author observation of this phenomenon.
Main findings of the study: The  main conclusion  is  that  the changes introduced by the legislator concerning life imprisonment —specifically, the court discretion to optionally impose a parole ban under two circumstances— may not result in positive effects for crime deterrence. Consequently, this could worsen the already challenging task of educational rehabilitation efforts with the population of life prisoners. The Polish penitentiary system will face challenges related to ageing prisoners serving life sentences without parole and the natural consequences of this issue. Furthermore, the recent changes could make it difficult for Poland to cooperate on criminal law matters with countries that consider 'absolute life imprisonment' to be inhumane.
Application of the study: The presented research relates to various scientific fields, e.g. criminal law, executive penal law and sociology.
Originality/Novelty of the study: This problem is still a current matter. Life imprisonment is a relatively new punishment in Poland, and the Polish penitentiary system continues to look for new ways and methods for dealing with group of life-sentenced prisoners. As a result of the latest amendment, the Polish prison administration will once again face the challenge of implementing completely new severe penalty which is a life imprisonment.

Published: September 2024

The prevalence of dyslipidemia in Albania is approximately 60%. Since the total adult population is 2.173 million, there are about 1.3 million patients with dyslipidemia.
We conducted a descriptive study, through the distribution of questionnaires and interviews of outpatient doctors, laboratory doctors and pharmacists, as some of the most important components of this journey. 100 professionals for each specialty were included in the study.
The medical specialists included in the study during their daily practice are involved in situations of management, treatment and follow-up of patients with dyslipidemia, in a significant percentage; doctors 90-100% and pharmacists with over 70%. Based on the therapeutic alternatives present in our country, it turns out that statins are the most commonly used therapy, and the treatment starts with low doses and in most cases the maximum dosage is not reached, as a result of the side effects that this therapy causes. These professionals are also involved in the long-term follow-up of patients, where in over 80% of cases they suggest returning for consultations every three months, or they do the evaluation of the cardiovascular risk factors for this category of patients, in over 50% of cases.
The role of all medical specialties involved in the management of dyslipidemias consists in strengthening the cooperation and coordination of all components of the healthcare system, and especially of all members of the multidisciplinary team, in the management of dyslipidemias, in order to achieve successful therapeutic results.

Published: September 2024

This study sought to investigate the impact of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and entrepreneurial bricolage (EB) on frugal innovation (FI), and subsequently, the sustainable performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging markets (EMs). Data were collected from 750 key decision-makers in manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the cities of Dar es Salaam and Arusha, Tanzania, yielding a response rate of 51.47%. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling in SmartPLS software. The results revealed that EO had a positive and significant effect on both FI and EB. Also, EB had a positive and significant effect on FI, which ultimately led to FI positively influencing SMEs’ sustainable performance. Furthermore, the study showed that EO is a strong driver of FI and SMEs’ sustainable performance when mediated by EB and FI, respectively. These findings indicate that firms operating in resource-constrained environments in EMs should emphasize the FI approach in combination with their strategic initiatives, such as EO and EB, to achieve SMEs’ sustainable performance. The theoretical and practical significance of this study is explained thoroughly. The study clarifies how entrepreneurial orientation and bricolage contribute to frugal innovation and the sustainable performance of SMEs in emerging markets. Additionally, it sheds light on a novel perspective regarding the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial bricolage, and SMEs’ sustainable performance through frugal innovation. Furthermore, the study provides a new perspective on developing countries such as Tanzania, which lacks empirical evidence on SMEs sustainable performance.

Published: September 2024

The success of a school centers on teachers' ability to create well-aligned educational tools. The Merdeka Belajar curriculum requires adapting assessments, including Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions for real-world problem-solving scenarios. This study explored contexts proposed by teachers in Papua for developing Mathematics HOTS questions. A phenomenological approach within a qualitative framework was employed involving 24 mathematics teachers from public and private schools in focus group discussions. Participants included twenty teachers from Papua, two from Central Indonesia and two from Western Indonesia. Additionally, five teachers from Papua participated in in-depth interviews. Data was analyzed using Creswell’s model with Atlas.ti software. Teachers developed HOTS assessment instruments based on daily life, scientific and social contexts. However, no cultural contexts were incorporated into these instruments by the interviewed teachers. This study highlights the importance of teacher preparedness in aligning contextual learning with the Merdeka Belajar curriculum and reveals a significant gap in using cultural contexts for HOTS assessments among teachers in Papua. These insights contribute to the discourse on math education in Indonesia advocating for the integration of cultural elements into the freedom to learn initiative.

Authors: Romano Chiara , Presti Daniela Lo , Silvestri Sergio , Schena Emiliano , Massaroni Carlo
Published: September 2024

Recent advances in pressure sensors have garnered significant interest due to their promising applications in healthcare, robotics and wearable technology. In these fields, there is an ever-increasing demand for soft sensors that can conform to complex surfaces, such as the human body. However, current sensors often face limitations in measurable pressure ranges and customization involves complex manufacturing processes. In this study, we introduce an innovative solution for producing soft pressure sensors with varying maximum detection pressures. By utilizing a magnetic transduction mechanism and different hyperelastic materials, we have developed sensors that can adapt to irregular surfaces. These sensors measure a wide range of pressures, from ultra-low to medium, and offer variable stiffness, sensitivity, and measurement ranges. The sensors we manufactured exhibit a detection range from 6.8 to 77.4 kPa, a sensitivity range between -5.1 × 10-2 and -0.4 × 10-2 kPa-1, a short recovery time of 0.4 s, low hysteresis values during repeated loading/unloading cycles, and stable response over thousands of pressure cycle. Proof-of-concept experiments validated the sensors’ suitability for breathing monitoring and finger tap detection, highlighting their potential in medical and robotic applications. The results demonstrate a robust strategy for controlling the performance of soft pressure sensors, positioning them as promising candidates for diverse pressure sensing applications.

Authors: Nastiyar Firdaus Algim , Tanjung Sumekar
Published: September 2024

The image of masculinity positioning fathers as central figures in earning a living has implications for the lack of paternal involvement in child-rearing, known as fatherlessness or daddy issues. This research uses the film “Stranger Things” (2017) to provide insights into how father involvement is represented. The study aims to understand how elements of father involvement are depicted in the film “Stranger Things” (2017).  The research employs Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis  method, which examines  the significance of denotation and connotation. The results show that aspects of father involvement represented in the film are divided into four indicators: (1) authoritarian attitude, (2) portrayal of feminist men, (3) role model for children, and (4) temperamental nature. Thus, it can be concluded that father’s involvement in child-rearing can open new windows into breaking the boundaries of the image of masculinity in societal  reality.

Aims: Piper crocatum Ruiz & Pav (P. crocatum) has been widely used medicinally among ethnic communities in Indonesia to treat a variety of diseases through various preparation- application techniques, duration, and frequency of use. Since research on the benefits of P. crocatum is still limited, our scoping review aimed to identify the key findings resulting from experimental studies regarding the medicinal uses of P. crocatum.
Methods: We conducted a scoping review using the framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley. Databases were searched using CAB Direct, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Google Scholar. Data were extracted and tabulated using Microsoft Office Excel 2013.
Results: Sixteen articles fulfilled were included in the scoping review. Three key concepts were emerged from this scoping review: 1) Study characteristics indicated the most prevalent type of research was in vivo experiment (n=14) with the highest number of preparations using ethanol extracts (n=8) and P. crocatum sample were mostly sourced from Indonesia (n=9); 2) Seventeen screened metabolites were reported and the most frequently identified were steroids and flavonoids, followed by polyphenols and saponins; and 3) Eight potential activities of P. crocatum were reported as follows: anti-inflammatory, pro-wound healing, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-necrotic, antitumoral, hepatoprotective, and anti-hyperglycaemic.
Conclusion: P. crocatum has various metabolites that might influence the reported potential therapeutic activities with different preparation-application techniques, uses, and duration, yet the scientific evidence conducted in clinical study is still limited. Future research needs to perform testing standardized preparations of P. crocatum to be developed as novel therapeutic agents in wounds, infective diseases, cancers, diabetes, and liver diseases.
