Identidad y relación
Authors: Porras Antonio
Published: December 2022

Identidad y relacionalidad se exigen mutuamente. La identidad diferencia a la persona de todas los demás y conocer la propia identidad permite a la persona relacionarse. El modo de vivir las relaciones refuerza la identidad personal. La identidad personal se refuerza en la medida en que la persona pueda comportarse según las exigencias de las relaciones primordiales. La familia y la fe las relaciones donde se configura la identidad y permiten asumir los roles que edifican la sociedad civil.

¿Cuánto queda de economía colaborativa? Un análisis de los anfitriones no profesionales de Airbnb en Leipzig (Alemania)
Authors: Armas-Díaz Alejandro
Published: December 2022

Las plataformas de alquiler a corto plazo como Airbnb han impulsado la mercantilización de la vivienda, lo que ha generado graves problemas en los barrios en los que se concentra su oferta a escala global. Bajo el lema de vivir como un residente y el paraguas de la economía colaborativa, Airbnb se ha convertido en uno de los iconos del capitalismo de plataforma. Mediante entrevistas con anfitriones no profesionales en la ciudad de Leipzig (Alemania), se analiza, desde el punto de vista de la oferta, el comportamiento de quienes alquilan su vivienda o parte de ella en Airbnb y si su acción responde de alguna manera al principio colaborativo. Para ello se aborda, también, si las condiciones y las normas de la plataforma, es decir, su régimen de funcionamiento, favorecen la expulsión de ese perfil de anfitriones impulsando su profesionalización.
Paisajes tóxicos: una reflexión sobre las espacialidades del Antropoceno
Authors: Giraldo Villamizar Catalina , Brito-Henriques Eduardo
Published: December 2022

Este artículo explora los paisajes tóxicos y su importancia a la luz del Antropoceno. Comienza proponiendo el concepto de paisaje híbrido como sustituto del de paisaje cultural. A partir del materialismo relacional de la teoría del actor-red y del neovitalismo, se desarrolla una concepción renovada de paisaje más atenta a los entretejimientos entre humanos y no humanos. Así, argumentamos que el concepto de paisajes tóxicos, tomado de la arqueología de la toxicidad, va en línea con estos cuestionamientos ontológicos y resulta pertinente para los debates del Antropoceno, pues coloca el foco en las acciones humanas sin perder de vista la agencia de lo no humano. Finalizamos con un caso ilustrativo: Agbogbloshie, un centro de reciclaje y minería urbana de metales provenientes de residuos eléctricos y electrónicos ubicado en Acra, Ghana.
El rol de les plataformes d’allotjament turístic en entorns rurals: el cas del Priorat
Authors: Dot Jutglà Esteve , Romagosa Casals Francesc , Noguera Noguera Maria
Published: December 2022

La investigació estudia l’evolució de l’allotjament turístic a la comarca del Priorat durant les dues primeres dècades del segle XXI, propiciada, entre altres motius, per la irrupció de les plataformes digitals, com és el cas d’Airbnb i Booking. La hipòtesi de treball és que l’auge del lloguer turístic suposa un increment notable pel que fa a l’oferta d’allotjament turístic en entorns rurals durant els darrers anys, i això comporta que els habitatges d’ús turístic (HUT) hagin rivalitzat amb altres establiments d’allotjament turístic tradicional, com poden ser els hotels i els càmpings, però especialment amb els establiments de turisme rural. La metodologia del treball combina l’anàlisi quantitativa de l’oferta amb la realització d’entrevistes a gestors o propietaris d’allotjaments turístics. Els resultats mostren l’augment significatiu de l’oferta d’allotjament turístic coincidint amb la irrupció dels HUT d’ençà el 2015. Aquest creixement ha anat acompanyat per la comercialització duta a terme per les plataformes digitals d’allotjament.
Ordenación del territorio y gestión de riesgos de inundación: evolución y análisis normativo a escala nacional
Authors: López-Martínez Francisco
Published: December 2022

Durante el último cuarto de siglo, la normativa estatal y autonómica en materia de suelo y ordenación territorial ha sufrido importantes cambios conceptuales y procedimentales. Entre los más relevantes, destacan la multitud de condicionantes normativos y herramientas que amparan los estudios de riesgo con la intención de conseguir una adecuada planificación territorial del ámbito objeto de ordenación. En consecuencia, el presente trabajo analiza cómo ha sido considerada e integrada la gestión de riesgos de inundación a lo largo de las diferentes normativas que han regido el extenso entramado jurídico español en el ámbito urbanístico, y expone cuáles han sido las principales aportaciones, los problemas detectados durante su aplicación, así como el estado actual de la materia. Como conclusión, a pesar de la paulatina y actualmente pausada incorporación de condicionantes en materia de inundaciones, el vigente marco normativo presenta un elevado nivel de sensibilidad ante esta tipología de riesgo.

Authors: Thomas Bohórquez Javier Enrique , Prado Nieto Eduardo
Published: December 2022

La presente investigación busca ampliar la comprensión de los vínculos entre las personas y los lugares de acuerdo con dos disciplinas distintas: la psicología ambiental y la geografía. A partir del caso particular del proceso de intervención territorial del Ecoparque Cerro de la Bandera, en la ciudad de Cali, se indaga en la relación entre las experiencias cotidianas y las nociones de lugar, espacio y territorio que construyen las personas, enfatizando en su apropiación subjetiva. A través de narrativas espaciales de vida, se distinguieron significaciones espaciales, territoriales y de lugar, y se analizaron con relación al sentido de apropiación del espacio. Los resultados más destacados muestran que las significaciones de lugar están directamente relacionadas con la apropiación más personal y subjetiva de los sujetos, mientras que las significaciones espaciales y territoriales están en el resorte de las interacciones sociales y funcionales que se dan allí.
Smart growth and its discontents : an examination of american and european approaches to local and regional sustainable development
Authors: Krueger Rob
Published: December 2022

El concepte del desenvolupament sostenible s’obre camí cada vegada més en les estratègies de desenvolupament local i regional. Aquesta tendència també succeix als EUA, encara que en aquest país no pren el nom d’Agenda 21 Local, com és el cas en gran part de la resta del món. L’enfocament de «desenvolupament sostenible» als EUA es pot considerar com un conjunt de polítiques que, col·lectivament, es coneixen amb el nom de «creixement intel·ligent» (smart growth). El creixement intel·ligent es considera a vegades com una variant exclusivament «americana» de desenvolupament sostenible. Al contrary del que ha passat amb l’Agenda 21, aquest concepte de creixement intel·ligent ha aconseguit captar l’interès dels respnsables polítics locals als EUA: En aquest article es compara l’Agenda 21 Local i creixement intel ligent en el context dels EUA i Europa, utilitzant fonts secundàries de dades i anàlisi, així com un estudi de cas de Massachusetts, EUA.

Published: December 2022

Proses pengadaan barang dan jasa berperan penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan publik, salah satu wujud inovasi pengadaan barang dan jasa adalah program e-katalog (elektronik katalog). E-katalog ini merupakan wujud strategi LKPP dalam menekan korupsi pengadaan barang dan jasa di Indonesia. Namun, penggunaan e-katalog lokal belum menyeluruh digunakan oleh pemerintah daerah. Hal ini salah satunya disebabkan salah satunya karena kurangnya penyebaran informasi. Oleh karena itu, peneliti dalam hal ini menggunakan analisis sentimen media sosial twitter. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data didapatkan dari website netlytic untuk mengumpulkan data percakapan twitter yang akan dikelompokkan pada report/hasil. Gambaran yang diberikan terkait posters over time, top ten posters dan top users (based on in-out degree centrality). Hasil penelitian yaitu dengan menggunakan analisis sentimen media sosial twitter diperoleh 60 percakapan yang dapat membuktikan bahwa pemerintah dianggap kurang aktif menyebarluaskan informasi terkait kehadiran e-katalog. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah perlu untuk memilih strategi yang tepat demi keberlanjutan e-katalog kedepannya.

Authors: Schüler Erik , Lemos Clair , De Islabão Genizia Islabão
Published: December 2022

A modalidade de negócio de franquia é norteada pelo contrato, o qual regula a relação entre franqueador e franqueado. Por vezes, em função da ocorrência de assimetria de informação ou incorreto cumprimento das cláusulas contratuais acordadas, conflitos na relação entre os envolvidos são gerados. A automatização de contratos, na forma de smart contracts, é uma das possibilidades já relatadas para a solução de alguns dos aspectos envolvendo a relação entre as partes. Este artigo traz os resultados de uma primeira etapa de um projeto constituído de duas etapas, cujo objetivo é demonstrar a aplicabilidade de smart contracts instanciados em blockchain para o controle e monitoramento de cláusulas específicas de contratos de franquias. Ao contrário de documentos reportados na literatura, os resultados apresentados neste artigo baseiam-se na análise de um tipo específico de um contrato real de franquia, identificando-se quais cláusulas apresentam possibilidade do controle e monitoramento automatizado através de smart contract, e propondo-se uma classificação destas cláusulas quanto às possíveis formas de realização destas ações. Resultados indicam, para o contrato analisado, que pouco menos da metade das cláusulas são passíveis de serem implementadas em smart contract, existindo ainda a possibilidade da exclusão de outras cláusulas, uma vez que se garante a correta execução de outras cláusulas.
A FEASIBILITY STUDY EXPLORING THE EFFICACY OF COGNITIVE REHABILITATION THERAPY FOR PAEDIATRIC HIV IN RURAL SOUTH AFRICA: A FOCUS ON SUSTAINED ATTENTION
Authors: Basterfield Candice , Zondo Sizwe
Published: December 2022

Despite advances in combination antiretroviral therapy (cARTs), children in Sub-Saharan Africa continue to experience neurocognitive deficits due to the virus crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Based on the principles of neuroplasticity, our study sought to investigate the feasibility of introducing a pencil and paper cognitive rehabilitation tool called Brainwave-R, to ameliorate the effects of HIV neurocognition amongst children from a low socioeconomic background in rural South Africa.

Five HIV positive and six HIV negative children were assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group underwent two months of cognitive rehabilitation therapy to remediate sustained attention, using Brainwave-R, whereas the noncontact control group took part in placebo activities. Sustained attention measures were taken before and after the intervention training sessions, using a sustained attention subtest. The control group later received cognitive intervention three months following the conclusion of the research study.

A Mann Whitney U Test revealed that the experimental group (Mdn=38.50) did not differ significantly from the control group (Mdn=37.00) after the cognitive rehabilitation intervention, U= 12.00, z= -.55, p= 0.66, r= -0.17. A Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test found that there was a significant improvement from pretest scores (Mdn=31.00) to post test scores (Mdn=38.00) following the rehabilitation for HIV positive participants in the sample, T=15.00, z = -2.02, p= 0.04, r= -0.90.

The findings of our study raise the feasibility of a pencil and paper cognitive rehabilitation method to supplement antiretroviral (ARV) therapy in paediatric HIV.

Authors: Kimteta A. , Thakur M.S. , Sihag P. , Upadhya A. , Sharma N.
Published: December 2022

The mechanical characteristics of concrete used in rigid pavements can be improved by using fibre-reinforced concrete. The purpose of the study was to predict the flexural strength of the fibre-reinforced concrete for ten input variables i.e., cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water, superplasticizer/high range water reducer, glass fibre, polypropylene fibre, steel fibres, length and diameter of fibre and further to perform the sensitivity analysis to determine the most sensitive input variable which affects the flexural strength of the said fibre-reinforced concrete.

The data used in the study was acquired from the published literature to create the soft computing modes. Four soft computing techniques i.e., Artificial neural networks (ANN), Random forests (RF), Random trees RT), and M5P, were applied to predict the flexural strength of fibre-reinforced concrete for rigid pavement using ten significant input variables as stated in the ‘purpose’. The most performing algorithm was determined after evaluating the applied models on the threshold of five statistical indices, i.e., the coefficient of correlation, mean absolute error, root mean square error, relative absolute error, and root relative squared error. The sensitivity analysis for most sensitive input variable was performed with out-performing model, i.e., ANN.

The testing stage findings show that the Artificial neural networks model outperformed other applicable models, having the highest coefficient of correlation (0.9408), the lowest mean absolute error (0.8292), and the lowest root mean squared error (1.1285). Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis was performed using the artificial neural networks model. The results demonstrate that polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete significantly influences the prediction of the flexural strength of fibre-reinforced concrete.

Large datasets may enhance machine learning technique performance.

The article's novelty is that the most suitable model amongst the four applied techniques has been identified, which gives far better accuracy in predicting flexural strength.

Published: December 2022

Leh-Ladakh, India is situated at 3000-3500 m above mean sea level, where harsh climatic environment is characterized by hypobaric-hypoxia, low humidity, high UV radiation and extreme variation in ambient temperature (-20 to +30ºC), which causes high-altitude stress to poultry. Hence, not much progress has been made in poultry rearing in this region, as high altitude causes high mortality and poor growth resulting in heavy loss of farm economy. The present field survey was conducted to study the farmer’s choice, existing farm resources, market opportunity, and social awareness on modern poultry rearing. Hence, many villages, viz. Chuchot, Shey, Phyang, Thicksey, Basgo, Skurbuchan, Skara, Ranbirpura of Leh-Ladakh were surveyed. The survey findings indicated that few progressive farmers are practicing backyard poultry rearing which plays an important role in the rural economy and women empowerment. It was found that the average flock size reared per family was small and farmers preferred colour plumage birds. The coops for chicken are mainly made up of double walled under or semi-underground mud houses for better insulation and heat retention during winter. Shelters are provided during night, whereas pasture or open field gazing is practiced during day time even in winters. Farmers rear birds throughout summers and self-consume or even sell them in three to four times higher price during winters when the demand is very high. Poultry farming among more farmers in more villages with help from state departments and different NGO will definitely strengthen poultry farming in this region. DIHAR (Defence Institute of High Altitude Research) a premium institute, also working in poultry science can further help these farmers in providing a complete package of basic training on management practices and even in distribution of high altitude adapted chicks to uplift farmer’s interest and promote poultry farming in this region.

Published: December 2022

Present study was designed to assess the effect of catalase on post-thaw semen quality parameters (SQPs), sperm kinematics, antioxidant and oxidative stress profiles and sperm cholesterol efflux in mithun (Bos frontalis). A total of 25 ejaculates were selected based on biophysical parameters and each sample was split into four equal aliquots and diluted (to get final concentration of 60 million spermatozoa per mL) with the TCG extender containing either 0 U/mL, 50 U/mL, 100 U/mL, and 150 U/mL catalase in the Group I, II, III and IV, respectively. Frozen-thawed samples were analysed for motility parameters (progressive forward and in bovine cervical mucus [BCMPT]), kinetic and velocity parameters by computer-assisted sperm analyser (CASA), viability, sperm morphological and nuclear abnormalities, acrosomal integrity, plasma membrane and nuclear integrities, sperm intra-cellular enzymatic leakage and seminal plasma biochemical (sperm cholesterol and oxidative stress markers) profiles. Study revealed an enhancement in viability, acrosomal integrity, plasma membrane integrity, motility (progressive and in cervical mucus), sperm cholesterol content and reduction in sperm morphological and nuclear abnormalities, leakage of intracellular enzymes in Group III. Moreover, intactness of acrosome and biochemical membranes were protected significantly in addition to significant improvement in kinetic and velocity profiles in extender containing 100 U/ml catalase. Correlation analysis revealed that sperm kinetic parameters, SQPs and antioxidant parameters had significant positive correlation with each other whereas these profiles were negatively correlated with sperm morphological abnormalities, enzymatic leakage and lipid peroxidation in catalase treated sperm. The results clearly indicated that inclusion of 100 U/ml catalase holds a clear advantage over control or 50 U/ml or 150 U/ml catalase in cryopreservation of mithun semen. It can be concluded from the present study that catalase supplementation in semen extender can be effectively utilized to reduce the oxidative stress and to improve the post-thaw semen quality in mithun.

Authors: YADAV R K , BADIGER MAHESH , LATA SUMAN
Published: December 2022

Germplasm (44) from 6 wild Abelmoschus species and 4 cultivars from cultivated species [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] were evaluated during kharif 2015 and 2016 to assess the genetic variability and character association in yield attributes and YVMV disease. Significant differences among accessions for mean performance with respect to 13 quantitative traits revealed presence of sufficient variation in the experimental material used. Mean Percent Disease Incidence (PDI) YVMV, revealed lowest PDI in A. moschatus (IC-141055) (7.73%) followed by IC90476- 1(8.61%) and IC47092 (11.0%). These wild accessions indicated their scope in future breeding programs for resistance to BYVMV. Estimates of genotypic coefficients of variability (GCV) and phenotypic coefficients of variability (PCV) ranged from 6.15-59.14 and 13.98- 62.13 respectively. Heritability in broad sense (h2), genetic advance (GA) and genetic advance as percentage of mean (GAM) ranged from 19-98%, 0.40-84.20, 5.58- 98% respectively. Further classification revealed high GCV (>20.00%), high heritability (>60.00%) and high GAM (>20.00%) for most of the yield components and PDI of BYVMV, except for first flowering node and stem diameter. Character association study publicized significant positive association and high positive direct effect of fruit weight (0.85), number of fruits per plant (0.532), stem diameter (0.088), plant height (0.069) and fruit diameter (0.046) on fruit yield per plant. Therefore, direct selection based on these combinations of traits help in harnessing their positive direct effects on yield per plant in okra improvement programmes.

Published: December 2022

Efficiency of genetic gain received through selection is seriously affected by genotype Ã— environment (GÃ—E) interaction, as GÃ—E directly affects the stability and performance of genotype under multi environment. In the current study a total of 34 chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes were evaluated at two locations (Kanpur and Bhopal) in two seasons (timely sown and late sown conditions) during 2016-17 to gain insights into the G Ã— E effect and the stability of genotypes grown across the sites. Plot yield data recorded from the genotypes were analyzed by using GGE bi-plot method. The combined analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed highly significant effects of environment on plot yield attribute among the genotypes, evaluated over the two seasons across the two locations. However, the most stable genotype across the two locations remained g 23 (JAKI 9218). Among the tested environments Bhopal timely sown (BL-T) and Bhopal late sown (BL-L) were the most representative, whereas Kanpur timely sown (KAN-T) was the least representative. Moreover, g 01 (HC 1) was the best cultivar under KAN-T and KAN-L environments whereas, g 23 (JAKI 9218) was the best cultivar under BL-T and BL-L environments.

Design for Impact: Wake Wadho, A Cultural Branding through Collaborative Design Model in Ngada Regency, East Nusa Tenggara
Authors: Sudhiastiningsih Ni Nyoman Sri Natih , Chadijah Siti
Published: December 2022

Wake Wadho is a trans-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaborative model that combines design thinking and rapid ethnography implemented in three traditional villages in Ngada, Middle Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. This collaborative model was born from a pilot program (IKKON) run by the Indonesia Creative Economy Agency (BEKRAF RI). This collaboration involved people from various backgrounds, such as design, art, and anthropology. The three traditional villages in Ngada Regency required more comprehensive action involving facilitation and empowering activities to develop a sustainable and creative ecosystem. The program activities were reviewed based on social, cultural, economic, and geopolitics aspects. This paper illustrates the usage of design as a tool to create sustainable livelihoods. It describes a collaborative design model that combines anthropological and design approaches to create an ‘Experience Journey’ (EJ) consisting of two categories: a service design recommended as a tourism scheme and a sustainable lifestyle product as a tangible product design. This output aimed to emphasize the part of empathy within the design process by considering the sociocultural aspect of the community’s everyday life. Furthermore, the products have authentic and inspiring stories behind them. The initial output was wrapped up in Wake Wadho as a cultural brand.
Confusions Between English Nominal and Adjectival Forms Among Students at the Dar es Salaam University College of Education: Are they Predictable?
Authors:   Dar es Salaam University College of Education (UDSM), Muro Loveluck , Lema Benedictor
Published: December 2022

This paper examines confusions between English nominal and adjectival forms among students at the Dar es Salaam University College of Education (DUCE). In particular, it establishes consistencies and inconsistencies in the use of English nominal and adjectival forms; and informs pedagogical interventions that can be adopted to redress the situation. Data was collected from a review of selected students’ examination scripts, and then subjected to error analysis in relation to the identified themes. The findings show that students vary greatly in the way they use nominal and adjectival forms such that some errors are consistently predictable, while others are intricately inconsistent and unpredictable. To address the problem, this paper recommends a case-by-case critical analysis of the problems; instead of the general conclusions that students experience problems in language use. Specifically, the paper suggests the need to study the nature, distribution and consistency of the committed errors and/or mistakes so as to come up with effective interventions.

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are among the major public health problems facing the world today. Despite contributing to over half of all deaths worldwide, and being a major challenge in low- and middle-income countries, NCDs have received less attention. In Tanzania, studies focusing on the assessment of comprehensive knowledge of NCDs are lacking. This study aims to assess knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of the Dar es Salaam University College of Education (DUCE) community on selected NCDs. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices on selected NCDs. The study involved both students and staff at the DUCE. A descriptive analysis was adopted for the quantitative data collected through structured questionnaires. The study findings show that the general knowledge of the DUCE community about some selected NCDs was generally high. However, there was a very low level of knowledge about risk factors, early symptoms and preventive measures. Regarding risk factors, a very small proportion of students (1.6%) and staff (3.1%) consumed tobacco products. Only 75 (13.1%) of students and 70 (36.5%) of staff consumed alcohol. The intake of fruits and vegetables among the community was insufficient. About 493 (86%) of the students and 135 (70.3%) of the staff added salt or salty sauce to their meals. As for physical activities, 234 (40.8%) of the students and 99 (51.6%) of the staff reported that they ran or participated in games and sports for at least one day in a week. The study concludes that while generally there is a high level of knowledge about NCDs, there is a very low level of knowledge about risk factors, early symptoms and preventive measures. The study underlines the need to increase the awareness of the DUCE population on risk factors associated with NCDs, early signs and preventive measures that people should take to prevent NCDs in the future.
Healthy Urban Rivers as a Panacea to Pandemic-Related Stress: How to Manage Urban Rivers

During the lockdown imposed due to the first wave of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, there were several media reports of citizens flouting the lockdown rules in the United States. Upon closer investigation it was found that the rules were flouted mostly so that people could spend time outdoors in natural environments. This exemplifies the role of the natural environment as a panacea to the mental stress created by pandemics. River ecosystems are perhaps the greatest natural feature of any city. Efficient management of urban rivers, therefore, is strongly correlated to crisis management during pandemics like COVID-19.

The prevalence of some pathogenic bacteria in retailed meats is becoming a major challenge to human health. The main factor contributing to the contamination of retailed meats, especially in Africa, is poor hygienic practices amongst meat vendors. Poor personal hygiene amongst food handlers coupled with the improper handling of meat could result in its contamination. This study reviewed the prevalence and antibiogram of Salmonella species, Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella species isolated from retailed meats sold in Ihiala town. 50 raw meat samples (25 beef and 25 chicken) were used, they were homogenized in a buffer and inoculated in two selective media (SSA and MSA). The bacterial isolates were further identified after various biochemical tests. It was observed that Staphylococcus aureus occurred more (45.3%) in the samples used, also the beef samples were seen to contain more microorganisms than the chicken samples. After the Antibiotics susceptibility test, it was discovered that Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella species and Salmonella species were resistant to some antibiotics. It is therefore expedient that meat vendors take caution when handling meats, so as to prevent meats from being contaminated with these drug resistant bacteria, thereby preventing health challenges.
AN IN VITRO COMPARATIVE STUDY FOR PREVALENCE OF SECOND MESIOBUCCAL CANAL IN MAXILLARY FIRST MOLAR
Authors: MATTIGATTI SUDHA B. , JOSHI SUBHA , KAMBLE BABASAHEB ANNARAO
Published: December 2022

Introduction: The root canal structure must be properly cleaned, shaped, and obturated for endodontic therapy to be successful. Clinicians need to be well-versed on root canal morphology to do this. The advent of visual enhancement in endodontics, along with the use of operating microscope has enhanced clinician’s ability to locate all the canals.

Objective: The present research aims to evaluate the best method of detection of MB2 canals amongst direct vision (DV), Dental Operating Microscope (DOM) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

Methods: Around 90 human maxillary first molar were used in this study, which were extracted due to caries or had to be extracted due to periodontally weakened condition, were collected from the department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, School of dental science, KIMSDU, Karad. Samples were made free of debris and calculus by scaling. All the samples were stored in 0.9% saline before use.

Results: In the present study, the detection of second mesiobuccal (MB2) canal was done using three different methods. The prevalence of MB2 by directed vision showed 33.33% cases. The use of operating microscope showed 56.67% presence of MB2 canals in maxillary first molar and use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) showed 86.67% MB2 canals. The prevalence of MB2 by directed vision showed 33.33% cases. Use of operating microscope showed 56.67% presence of MB2 canals in maxillary first molar and use of CBCT showed 86.67% MB2 canals. The present study showed the presence of MB2 was 56.67%.

Conclusion: On the bases of the present study one can conclude that CBCT is a promising modality to detect MB2 canals.

Pengelolaan kependudukan yang baik sangat dibutuhkan untuk dapat memberikan pelayanan kepada pihak-pihak terkait dan untuk menghasilkan kinerja yang lebih baik. Ketepatan, keakuratan dan kecepatan penyajian data dan informasi merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam mengelola pelayanan kependudukan yang baik. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan suatu perangkat lunak yang mampu menangani pengelolaan pelayanan kependudukan secara baik. Kecamatan Ciampel merupakan salah satu kecamatan yang ada dikabupaten Karawang, provinsi Jawa Barat. Penelitian pelayanan di kecamatan yang bergerak dalam bidang melayani masyarakat masih menggunakan sistem manual sebagai data laporan pembukuan register. Sehingga menghambat proses antrian sangat panjang, membutuhkan waktu sangat lama, banyak berkas yang tertumpuk, bisa terjadi berkas mudah sobek dan rusak. Atas dasar masalah tersebut penulis bertujuan untuk merancang sistem register sensus penduduk manual diganti menggunakan Visual Basic. Dari penelitian ini menghasilkan sistem yang lebih modern yang dapat digunakan oleh petugas kecamatan, agar secara jelas dengan data yang lebih tepat dan akurat. Sistem ini juga bisa membantu mengurangi antrian panjang, kemudian menghemat waktu, mencegah kerusakan buku/berkas dan mempermudah petugas kecamatan dalam proses pendaftaran register sebagai sarana melayani masyarakat.
