Authors: Al-Gabri Qais , Lotfy Ehab , Ragab Khaled , Ahmed Manar , Naguib Abdel-Rahman
Published: January 2025

Joints are important regions in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, which are most susceptible to seismic loads. Many retrofitting works utilizing fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) composites are in all developed countries. In this study, there was a change in the strengthening of  joints using carbon fiber (CFRP), glass fiber (GFRP), and carbon with glass ( hybrid fiber ). A total of seven specimens were designed and tested by cyclic loading (controlled displacement- load of frequency of 0.05 Hz). The details of the specimens are as follows: one unstrengthened reference specimen, six specimens for wrapping with fiber  (two are carbon strengthened , two are glass strengthened, and the other two for HFRP wrapping). The results of the testing were compared with those of the reference specimen and strengthened specimens. The behavior of the strengthening joints was studied by the following parameters: first and ultimate load cracking, energy dissipation, ductility, also ultimate stiffness. Based on the results of the test, the hybrid combination was more effective in improving beam-column joints at a highly competitive cost. Furthermore, a comparison of the experimental test and the numerical model results shows that the proposed model is almost identical.
Investigating Speaking Skills Acquisition Through the Audio-Oral Method in Higher Education: A Case Study of the Department of Arabic, The New College, Chennai, India
Authors: Dr K M A AHAMED ZUBAIR
Published: January 2025

This research aims to investigate the teaching of speaking skills using the audio-oral method among students at the Department of Arabic, The New College, Chennai as well as to identify the challenges faced in this approach. Employing a qualitative methodology, data was gathered through observations, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was structured around three key components: data reduction, data presentation, and extrapolation. To ensure data validity, triangulation was utilized. The findings indicate that speaking skills are taught using the audio-oral method by providing dialogues that are subsequently translated and modeled in the Arabic dialect. Students listen to these pronunciations and practice imitating them; at times, a mobile phone recorder is employed to enhance their proficiency in speaking Arabic accurately. The teaching process is complemented by additional exercises involving diverse Arabic dialogues. The challenges encountered in teaching speaking skills using the audio-oral method at this institution are primarily related to the language environment, the influence of the local language, and issues stemming from a monotonous teaching approach and inadequate learning materials.

Published: January 2025

Effective pain management is a common challenge in clinical practice, whether it involves prescription medications or over-the-counter (OTC) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The use of NSAIDs has been linked to various risks, including cardiovascular (CV), kidney, and gastrointestinal (GI) complications. Certain group of patients face a higher likelihood of these risks. NSAIDs consumptions have been shown to cause a modest, but steady increase in the chance of experiencing CV events and developing kidney problems. In this case series, we reported a series of inflammatory pain cases. Following simple pain intervention, we administered paracetamol and Predimenol over a 10 day period. The use of Predimenol was proven to be effective in alleviating pain without causing any notable adverse effects.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) significantly affects mobility and quality of life in older adults. Objectives: This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effects of an eight-week aquatic therapy program on gait speed and knee proprioception in this population. Methods: A randomized, single-blind clinical trial was conducted with 34 female participants diagnosed with KOA. They were randomly assigned to either an aquatic therapy group or a control group. The intervention consisted of structured aquatic therapy sessions conducted over eight weeks. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were performed to evaluate knee proprioception using a digital goniometer and gait speed using the 10-Meter Walk test (10MWT) under simple walking and cognitive task conditions. Results: ANCOVA analyses showed significant improvements in both gait speed and knee proprioception following the intervention. Gait speed under normal conditions improved significantly [F (1, 31) = 37.75, P < 0.001], with aquatic therapy accounting for 54.9% of the variance in improvements. The average gait speed of the aquatic therapy group was significantly greater than that of the control group. Additionally, knee proprioception scores improved significantly [F (1, 32) = 10.316, P = 0.003], with aquatic therapy explaining 25% of the variance in improvement. Conclusions: The findings indicate that an eight-week aquatic therapy program is an effective non-pharmacological intervention for enhancing gait speed and proprioception in older women with KOA. This study highlights the therapeutic value of aquatic therapy in improving functional outcomes and quality of life in this population.

ANALYSIS OF RESISTANCE OF ORTHODONTIC COMPONENTS TO MOUTHWASHES,
DISINFECTANTS AND STERILIZER: AN IN VITRO STUDY
Authors: Negri Paolo , Russomanno Nunzia , Eramo Stefano , Cianetti Stefano , Botticelli Gianluca , Truppa Claudia , Viarchi Arianna , Severino Marco
Published: January 2025

Background: The application of fixed orthodontic appliances plays a crucial role in altering the oral biofilm, exposing patients to an increased risk of caries and periodontal diseases. For this reason, the literature consistently recommends the use of chlorhexidine and fluoride containing mouthwashes as adjuncts to routine oral hygiene
practices. Furthermore, it is known that orthodontic appliance components are not sterile when removed from their packaging and should therefore undergo disinfection and sterilization before use.
Aim: To evaluate whether commercially available mouthwashes, disinfectants and sterilizers can damage orthodontic components through analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Materials and Methods: Four commonly used components of fixed appliances were examined: brackets, Ni-Ti arch, metal ligatures and elastic ligatures. The substances tested for their effects on these components included two mouthwashes, two disinfectants, and one sterilizer. Each component was analyzed via SEM at two time points: T0, when untreated, and T2, after immersion in the respective solution for its designated action time, depending on intraoral and extraoral use.
Results: The correlation analysis revealed no dependence of the KM width on the age and gender of patients and the type of teeth and jaws. The results indicated that the tested mouthwashes did not cause surface damage to the orthodontic components. Regarding the disinfectant and sterilizer, no surface damage was observed on brackets, arch, or metal ligatures; however, one disinfectant and the sterilizer caused noticeable surface deterioration of the elastic ligatures. During the year of follow-up, there were no dental implant failures in both groups, and the survival rate of implants one year after their installation was 100%.
Conclusion: Metal alloy components (stainless steel and nickel – titanium) were not affected in vitro by either the disinfectants/sterilizers or the mouthwashes. Therefore, these substances can be used safely and comply with the healthcare professional’s obligation to maintain patient health. However, caution should be exercised in disinfecting elastic ligatures. Mouthwashes and chlorhexidine-based disinfectants were shown to have no damaging effects on elastic ligatures and can thus be safely employed for these components

Fathers' Involvement in Child Care Practices to Improve Stunting among Under-five Children in Sumbawanga Rural District, Rukwa Tanzania
Authors: Seko Michael , Mosha Idda
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Introduction
Male involvement in childcare practices is crucial in shaping a child’s health outcomes. Recognising that aspect of father’s involvement can be applied as a method against stunting since it has been a public health concern for years. This study intends to describe how paternal involvement can serve as a prevention strategy to address stunting among under-five children in the Rukwa region.
 
Methods
A cross-sectional study design was conducted in Sumbawanga Rural District.  This study used A multistage clustering sampling to obtain 359 father-child pairs. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Height and age measurements were standardised to WHO height for age Z-scores to determine stunting status among under-five children. Data were analysed by using STATA software, and descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.
 
Results
The magnitude of fathers’ involvement in childcare practices was 43.8%. According to this study, fathers had moderate knowledge about children stunting, and the proportion of stunting among under-five children was 55%. Factors associated with stunting were male involvement and fathers' knowledge, while fathers with moderate knowledge and those who were highly involved in childcare were 46% and 52% less likely to have children with stunting compared to those with low knowledge of stunting (Adjusted OR=0.54; 95% CI [0.22- 0.87]; p-value= 0.046) and those who were less involved (Adjusted OR=0.48; 95% CI [0.26 - 0.92)]; p-value= 0.048) respectively.
 
Conclusion
This study suggests that increasing fathers' involvement in childcare practices may help address under-five stunting. The study underscores the significance of encouraging fathers to be engaged in childcare activities and educating them about stunting, which could potentially contribute to reducing the prevalence of stunting among under-five children.
Experiences and Perceptions of HIV Counseling and Testing among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Mbeya City Council, Tanzania
Authors: Ngoloke Tumaini , Mosha Idda
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Introduction
HIV is still a problem in Tanzania. The prevalence of HIV in Tanzania is 4.5%, with Mbeya being the third region with the highest prevalence of 9.3%. Adolescents and Young Women (AGYW) are particularly vulnerable to HIV transmission. Despite the efforts to decrease HIV prevalence in the country, the risk remains high among AGYW in Mbeya. This study aimed to explore AGYW’s perceptions and experiences regarding HIV Counselling and Testing (HTC) services in Mbeya City Council, Mbeya.
 
Methods
A qualitative research study explored AGYW's perceptions and experiences regarding HIV counselling and testing services in Mbeya City Council, Mbeya, Tanzania. Study participants were purposively selected. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, which were transcribed verbatim and translated into English. A thematic analysis was undertaken to identify key themes that emerged from the data.
 
Results
The findings revealed that AGYW face several barriers when accessing HTC services. These barriers included poor knowledge of HTC, fear, stigma and misconceptions. It was further revealed that societal attitudes, religious beliefs, prolonged waiting times, being uncomfortable with older healthcare providers, lack of confidentiality and gender norms exacerbate these barriers thus hindering access to HCT services.
 
Conclusion
The results show that by lowering social obstacles and strengthening peer support networks, healthcare providers can help AGYW access HCT-friendly services. Furthermore, when providing HCT to AGYW, healthcare professionals should adhere to their professional ethics, continue educating AGYW, and dispel any misconceptions about HCT services.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences between multi-level marketing (MLM) businesses and money games. This analysis is considered necessary due to the negative stigma in society that equates the MLM system with money games. The study also analyzes how MLM businesses can reposition themselves to eliminate this negative stigma. This research uses the Library Research method, which involves utilizing existing materials or data sources such as books, articles, scientific journals, reports, archives, and other documents available in libraries or other literature sources. The differences between Sharia-compliant MLM businesses and money games can be seen from several perspectives, including legal foundations and principles, sources of income, structure and sustainability, legality, and the risks for members. Steps to restore the positive image of MLM businesses can be taken through several measures, such as: engaging Public Relations (PR) to collaborate with parties who recommend that MLM businesses are haram, having stakeholders clarify to the public that there is a distinction between MLM businesses and money games, terminating employees found to be involved in money game practices, and changing the company's name and leadership if the company has already acquired a negative image.
