ВПЛИВ СКЛАДНОСТІ ЗАВДАНЬ НА ПРОЦЕС ВИВЧЕННЯ МОВИ: АНАЛІЗ ВАЖЛИВИХ ФАКТОРІВ
Authors: ВЕРХОВЦОВА О. М. , КУЦЕНКО О. В.
Published: June 2024

Завдання сучасного університету – виховувати мотивацію до навчання, щоб метою студентів було не просто отримати диплом чи сертифікат, а отримати фундаментальні знання та розглядати навчання як саморозвиток.Для цього перед учнями під час навчальної діяльності важливо ставити адекватні та зрозумілі для них завдання – тоді вони набудуть значущості. Мотиви є структурним компонентом будь-якого виду діяльності. Мотивація – процес спонукання до діяльності, спрямований досягнення певних цілей. Успішність навчальної діяльності визначається розвиненістю мотивації студентів, що, в свою чергу, передбачає знання та враховування мотивуючих чинників. Дослідження впливу складності завдання на вивчення мови є важливою сферою досліджень у галузі вивчення іноземної мови. Складність завдання стосується рівня складності, пов’язаного з певним завданням. Це багатовимірне поняття, яке охоплює різні аспекти завдання, включаючи його когнітивні вимоги, кількість залучених етапів або компонентів, ступінь невизначеності або двозначності та рівень досвіду, необхідний для його ефективного виконання. У статті розглядається залежність мотивації студентів від складності завдання та її вплив на їх успіхи у навчанні. Автори позначають різні чинники, що впливають формування мотивації, такі як амбіції, особисті інтереси, і навіть рівень мотивації викладачів. У дослідженні пропонуються різні підходи до мотивації студентів, включаючи стимулювання внутрішньої мотивації, розвиток самоповаги, активне залучення студентів до навчального процесу та створення сприятливого освітнього середовища, де студенти отримуватимуть не лише знання, а й навички міжособистісного спілкування, самореалізації та розвитку критичного мислення. Автори надають результати опитувань студентів щодо впливу складності завдань на їх мотивацію під час вивчення мови.
ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ПАРЕМІЙ ПРИ ФОРМУВАННІ ІНШОМОВНОЇ ЛІНГВОСОЦІОКУЛЬТУРНОЇ КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТІ СТУДЕНТІВ
Authors: ВОЛКОВА Л. В.
Published: June 2024

Метою статті є аналіз раціональності використання паремій (прислів’їв, приказок крилатих виразів і фразеологізмів) у процесі вивчення іноземної мови студентами вищих навчальних закладів. У статті увага приділяється системі вправ і завдань з використанням прислів’їв і приказок для розвитку мовних умінь, зокрема соціолінгвістичних. На заняттях іноземної мови паремії є важливим засобом пояснення і засвоєння граматичного матеріалу, засобом поповнення активного мовленнєвого запасу студентів, розвитку їхнього виразного мовлення та джерелом краєзнавчої інформації. Використання прислів’їв і приказок на заняттях англійської мови сприяє кращому оволодінню цим предметом, розширюючи знання про мову і особливості його функціонування. Залучення до культури країни досліджуваного мови через елементи фольклору дає студентам відчуття співпричетності до іншого народу. Робота з прислів’ями та приказками на заняттях англійської мови допомагає урізноманітнити навчальний процес і зробити його більш яскравим і цікавим. Вона допомагає вирішити ряд дуже важливих освітніх завдань навчального виховного та розвивального характеру. Вивчення прислів’їв і приказок, їх аналіз та порівняння з аналогами в рідній мові допомагає формувати у студентів пізнавальний інтерес до досліджуваного предмета і культурі англомовних країн, розширювати кругозір, розвивати образне мислення, творчі задатки, мовну здогадку, а також увагу, пам’ять і логіку. Отже, використання паремій, зокрема, прислів’їв та приказкок є невід’ємною частиною побудови цікавого, креативного заняття іноземної мови. Паремії слугують ефективним засобом формування такої комплексної компетентності як лінгвосоціокультурної, що надає величезний простір для викладача із підбором матеріалу та створенням до нього низки різноманітних цікавих завдань.
БІБЛІЙНИЙ КОД ДРАМАТИЧНИЙ ПОЕМИ ЛЕСІ УКРАЇНКИ «НА ПОЛІ КРОВІ»
Authors: ЖВАНІЯ Л. В.
Published: June 2024

Стаття є спробою прочитати драматичну поему Лесі Українки «На полі крові» у біблійному контексті. Ведучи мову про біблійний код твору маємо на увазі спробу осягнути особливості авторської інтерпретації Євангельського сюжету. Мета розвідки – відшукати ті сенси, які відкриваються у співвідношенні драми з її першоджерелом – Біблією. Євангельська історія про Іудину зраду стала для письменниці тією універсальною онтологічною матрицею, у форматі якої вона створює свою апокрифічну версію традиційного сюжету, у центрі якої не Христос, а зрадник. Створена авторкою художня модель, зберігаючи свою універсальність, ускладнюється актуальними ціннісними й філософськими значеннями. На нашу думку, свідчення Луки й Івана про входження у Юду сатани, а також підкреслений Євангелістом нічний час скоєння зради слугували для авторки драматичної поеми «На полі крові» важливими чинниками, на яких базується основна концепція її авторського апокрифу. Вважаємо, що найпереконливішим свідченням того, що душа Юди знаходиться під владою диявола слугує прагнення зрадника спотворити, знецінити й спрофанувати основи Євангельської проповіді Христа, блюзнірська наруга над постаттю Сина Божого, профанація Таїнства Євхаристії. У драматичній поемі «На полі крові» Леся Українка здійснює дослідження природи зла. Сатана, як персоніфіковане зло, що увійшов в Юду, постає не рівним супротивником Бога, а лише його нікчемною пародією. Він викривлює Євангеліє, оскільки, на відміну від Бога, йому недоступна сила творення. Леся Українка демонструє, що зло є не абсолютним, на відміну від Бога – абсолюту добра, а банальним і жалюгідним. Тому Юда у творі й не розкаюється. Адже покута – то переміна свідомості, а він, у відповідності до набутої диявольської сутності, виявляється до цього не здатним.
АКТУАЛІЗАЦІЯ КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНОЇ ОЗНАКИ «LEARNING» В УМОВАХ ВІРТУАЛЬНОГО СЕРЕДОВИЩА НАВЧАННЯ
Authors: БОДНАР І. М. , ВИННИК О. Ю.
Published: June 2024

У статті досліджено концептуальні конструкти сфери ОСВІТА в англійській мові, які актуалізують процес навчання через концептуальну ознаку «learning». З’ясовано, які зміни відбуваються на когнітивному та мовно-експресивному рівні носіїв англійської зокрема, та глобальному загалом, у зв’язку з активною трансформацією навчання від аудиторного до віртуального. На основі інформації з глосаріїв, виявлено 32 конструкти концептуального поля Процес одержання знань, інформації які містять концептуальну ознаку «learning». Проаналізовано приблизні часові рамки появи освітніх понять – від концептів, актуальних при змішаному очно-дистанційному форматі (blended learning), який практикується уже кілька десятиліть, до новоутворених концептів, які актуалізують виключно онлайн формат навчання. Змішаний формат навчання – blended learning – уже передбачав можливість використання комп’ютерної техніки для навчальних цілей, інакше кажучи – технологію, яка отримала назву technology enhanced learning. Через частково вимушений перехід до онлайн-формату, спричинений локдауном, ця технологія розвинулася у web enhanced learning. Серед виявлених концептуальних конструктів є такі, що характеризують процес навчання узагальнено, незалежно від формату (очного чи онлайн), наприклад, active learning, personalised learning, flexible learning, flipped learning, та концепти, актуальні виключно у віртуальному середовищі навчання: agile learning, asynchronous learning, branching, collaborative digital learning, gamification. Одним із варіантів web enhanced learning є використання інтернет-форумів, соціальних медіа ресурсів, створення навчальних каналів, платформ, рівно ж як і об’єднань студентів (social media communities) із спільними навчальними цілями, який отримав назву social media learning. У синонімічному ряді актуалізаторів концепту онлайн навчання, або цифрове навчання, виокремлюється конструкт mobile learning, який актуалізує підхід до навчання виключно з використанням мобільних телефонів. З’ясовано, що концепти, які репрезентують концептуальну ознаку «learning», поділяються на 2 функціональні групи: ті, які стосуються будь-якої форми навчання, та ті, які актуальні лише при використанні інтернет-технологій. Подальші лінгвістичні студії можуть бути спрямовані на виявлення гіперо-гіпонімічних зв’язків між концептами та докладнішому аналізі синонімічних рядів лексичних конструктів – актуалізаторів різних концептуальних ознак сфери ОСВІТА в умовах віртуального навчання.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of English language teaching should lie in cultivating the students’ communicative ability. The traditional teaching method is mainly teacher-centered, paying attention to the impartation of knowledge, and this will neglect the students’ creativity and communicative ability. However, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) which advocates student-centered classrooms and learning foreign languages through communication, takes communicative competence as the ultimate goal of foreign language teaching. This paper presents the research on the connotation, characteristics and advantages of the communicative language teaching method, while paying attention to the difficulties encountered in its promotion in the process of English teaching in universities. Prior to exposure to CLT approach, the respondents had been exposed the traditional English language teaching and learning in a comprehensive English class. In order to understand the basic situation of the cultivation of university students’ English communicative competence in Ningxia Medical University, 200 non-English major students responded to a questionnaire survey. The four aspects of university comprehensive English class are the learning objectives of English class, basic learning tasks in English class, students’ interests, and difficulties in improving English communicative ability were analyzed using SPSS 23.0. The results reveal that communicative activities such as role-play, ask and answer activities, discussion and debate, and story-telling can be used by teachers to help students develop communicative competences. It is important to highlight that there are a variety of corresponding strategies besides the activities mentioned that can be incorporated in language teaching to improve the communication skills of students and English teaching in universities.

Background: Techniques of plant recolonization are increasingly developed throughout the world. In Cameroon, Revitalization Technology (ReviTec) was implemented in the Sudano-Sahelin zone in order to evaluate its impact on the rapid restoration of degraded soil and plants colonization. Aim: The aim of this work was to identify the good treatment (composition of different nutrients) involving the fast plants appearance. Method: The plant cover estimation as well as the evaluation of the presence of plants species by island within the quadrats of 1×1m2 was done. The method used to fight these ominous phenomena is the ReviTec. The software Stagraphics and Xl-stats were used for the different analyses. Results: The results showed that the treatments CpBcMy (42 species) present a considerable number of species. The frequency indices present a heterogeneous vegetation with the predominance of accidental species (53%) in the experimental site. The most represented families were those of Fabaceae cesalpinioideae, Poaceae, Malvaceae and Rubiaceae. Stylosanthes guianensis and Brachiaria brizantha were the most represented species with 94.22% and 95.11% respectively. Zoochory was the most frequent type of diaspores dispersal with 51.76%. The most important percentage cover was observed in the treatment CpBcMy (32% on the average). Conclusion: The present approach used for the restoration of degraded soils is very beneficial for plants succession and maintenance of cover percentage to highest rate.
Well Performance Evaluation and Liquid Loading Management Planning in Well-X of the Pagerungan Field Kangean Energy Indonesia Ltd.
Authors: Azlan Muhammad , Rahalintar Pradini
Published: June 2024

Liquid loading problems are very prone to occur in gas wells because of a drastic decrease in reservoir pressure that results in a phase change from gas to liquid so liquid accumulates and causes gas to be unproductive. To overcome the liquid loading problem, foam injection can be done to increase the production rate. In determining well performance, well test data is collected using EMR surveys, reservoir characteristics, and well operational data to analyze the performance of Well-X. Nodal analysis is performed by modeling the well as a system consisting of reservoir zones, perforations, production lines, and chokes. Subsequently, this model evaluates various important parameters such as gas production rate, wellhead pressure, skin and water gas ratio (WGR). After performing nodal analysis, the well performance and problems such as liquid loading will also be known. X-well has an optimum production rate of 0.79 MMSCF/Day. The small production is caused by several factors, one of which is liquid loading. To overcome this, we can simulate if we inject foam into the production well. The simulation was carried out with the help of software and obtained the optimum production rate after foam injection of 1.43 MMSCF/Day. It can be concluded that by injecting foam, it will be able to handle the liquid loading problem and will increase the gas well production rate than before.

Published: June 2024

This study provides information about the reproductive cycle of the invasive side-gilled sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata, currently widely distributed along the Argentine coast. The histological analysis of this simultaneous hermaphrodite showed characteristics of a semelparous species with an annual life cycle. The highest spermatogenic and oogenic activity was observed from August to January. Partial evacuations of mature oocytes, measuring over 100 μm in average diameter, occurred continuously during the long spawning season. Oviposition events started in winter and increased in frequency with increasing photoperiod (hours of light) until summer solstices. During February and March, postreproductive and immature individuals coexisted, while mature individuals were rarely observed. These results represent important information on the reproductive patternsof an invasive species of worldwide ecological and sanitary concern.

Göçmenlerin Sosyal Uyumunda Yerel Yönetimlerin Etkisi: Belediyelerin Rolü Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: Havan Cumhur
Published: June 2024

Göç olgusu, küreselleşme, iç savaşlar, ekonomik sıkıntılar güvenlik vb. pek çok bağımsız değişkenin tetiklediği karmaşık bir konudur. Hedef ülkeler, bu karmaşayla başa çıkabilmek ve göçün etkilerini en aza indirmek için göç yönetiminin önemli bir unsurunu oluşturan sosyal uyum/entegrasyon alanında politikalar üretmelidir. Bu süreç, bütün paydaşların katılımını gerektirir ve koordinasyon içerisinde çalışmayı, merkezi olmayan bir yaklaşımla yerel yönetimlere ve yerel düzeydeki toplumsal dinamiklere odaklanmayı da zorunlu kılar. Bu araştırma, Türkiye'deki göçmenlerin sosyal uyum sürecinde yerel yönetimlerin rolünü incelemektedir. Göçmenlerin topluma entegre olma ve sosyal uyum sağlama süreci, yerel yönetimlerin politika ve uygulamalarıyla yakından ilişkilidir. Zira Türkiye son yıllarda artan göç dalgalarıyla birlikte çoğunluğu kentlerde yaşayan kayıtlı 5 milyona yakın düzensiz göçmene ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Çalışmada, Türkiye'deki belediyelerin göçmenlerin sosyal uyumunu teşvik etmek için izlediği politika ve stratejiler ile bu stratejilerin etkileri ele alınmaktadır. Ayrıca, yerel yönetimlerin göçmenlerin karşılaştığı sorunları çözmedeki etkinliği ve bu süreçte karşılaşılan zorluklar da tartışılmaktadır. Araştırma, Türkiye'deki belediyelerin göçmenlerin sosyal uyum sürecine katkı sağladığını, ancak bazı alanlarda daha fazla iyileştirmeye ihtiyaç duyulduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Özellikle dil eğitimi, iş bulma imkânları ve kültürel etkileşim gibi konularda daha fazla destek ve kaynak tahsisinin gerekliliği vurgulanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak bu çalışma, Türkiye'deki belediyelerin göçmenlerin sosyal uyumunu destekleme sürecinde kritik bir rol oynadığını ve bu sürecin daha etkin bir şekilde yönetilmesi için daha fazla kaynak aktarımı ve çaba harcanması gerektiği sonucuna ulaşmıştır.
On becoming a coaching practitionerresearcher: A duoethnographic study
Authors: Medlock Gordon E. , Charura Divine
Published: June 2024

Using a duoethnological approach, this paper synthesises the perspectives of two coaching practitioner researchers exploring questions of the epistemological and ontological foundations of coaching as an academic discipline and domain of professional practice. Initially, focus is centred on reflecting on the authors’ responses to two questions (1) How do my research interests and questions arise from my practice experience as a reflective coach or coach educator? and (2) How can I contribute to the development and impact of the coaching profession by integrating coaching practice and research expertise? Engaging with these questions through duoethnography, understood as a collaborative research methodology that promotes introspection and critical reflexivity, six themes were conceptualised as follows: (1) Pre-commencing the duoethnography process; (2) Beginning the duoethnography process and first phase of meeting; (3) Reflections on ontology of self and development; (4) The phenomenology of emergence in the coaching context; (5) Clarifying a personal coaching research agenda; (6) Reflection and commitments to forward/future action. These themes support an argument for an existential-humanistic conceptual framework that contributes towards establishing coaching as an academic discipline and domain of professional practice. The article concludes by arguing that by personally engaging with questions of the ontology of self and ways of knowing oneself and others, duoethnography dialogue can contribute to the personal development of coaching psychologists and the professional evidence base of coaching practice.
Coaching as a route to voice: A framework for change
Authors: Brooks Sarah
Published: June 2024

A common problem brought to coaching is one where the coaching client is unable to voice problems and concerns to someone more senior in the workplace. This paper introduces a coaching framework which supports coaches to help coaching clients think systematically about ways in which they can formulate and articulate needs and wants which address those problems and concerns. Drawing on the voice and silence literature, the Coaching as a Route to Voice framework brings to the fore power differentials between employees and managers in the workplace which act as both enablers and barriers to voice. The framework centres around three questions which guide the coaching client through a goal-articulation process which provides clarity around who is most likely to be able to support the coaching client, when best to approach them and how best to present the information in order to have the most impact.

Authors: Ridayani Ridayani
Published: June 2024

This research was motivated by observations of students' English language skills. Seeing the phenomenon of students' abilities, it is felt necessary to be more intensive in improving their mastery apart from the learning material provided. This encourages educators to apply English audio-visual media to train students to get used to hearing English pronunciation. The aim of this research is to determine the importance of improving vocabulary mastery and English writing using audio-visual media. The approach used in this research is qualitative with descriptive analysis. The sample in this research was a literature review of previous research on published books, newspapers and scientific articles. Samples were taken in the form of articles about English vocabulary and writing using audio-visual media. Data collection techniques use test techniques to strengthen the influence of sampling and vocabulary. The results of the analysis indicate that efforts to increase vocabulary are followed by improving writing skills first. Therefore, the more vocabulary a student has from audio-visual media, the better he or she will be at writing English text content

“Enamorados del pensamiento”. Asociacionismo y gestión bibliotecaria entre el Estado y la proyección regional (Bahía Blanca, 1940-1970)
Authors: López Pascual Juliana
Published: June 2024

El crecimiento institucional experimentado por la Asociación Bernardino Rivadavia (Bahía Blanca, provincia de Buenos Aires) desde la década de 1930 puede explicarse a partir de su relación con fenómenos de diversa naturaleza y escala que se analizan a través de fuentes institucionales como actas, memorias, balances y prensa. De un lado, la expansión de su biblioteca popular dialoga internamente con la implementación relativamente exitosa de políticas públicas de fomento a la actividad bibliotecaria profesionalizada establecidas por las esferas provincial y nacional, así como con el crecimiento de su masa societaria. Por otro, el fortalecimiento de la entidad se entrelaza firmemente con la continuidad de prácticas ligadas a las representaciones de modernización y progreso, profundizadas desde los años cuarenta por la transformación social, económica y educativa de la localidad bonaerense que promovía así su ansiada hegemonía sobre la región patagónica. En ese sentido, la asociación y su biblioteca asumieron un rol de estímulo de la cultura letrada y de irradiación cultural en el sur del país lo que, en términos materiales, ahondó y diversificó las crisis sistemáticas en torno a su sostenimiento económico y su modelo de funcionamiento.
Optimal timing for plastic surgical procedures for common congenital anomalies: A review
Authors: Goel Aakanksha , Goel Arun
Published: June 2024

Apart from listening to the cry of a healthy newborn, it is the declaration by the attending paediatrician in the labour room that the child is normal which brings utmost joy to parents. The global incidence of children born with congenital anomalies has been reported to be 3%-6% with more than 90% of these occurring in low- and middle-income group countries. The exact percentages/total numbers of children requiring surgical treatment cannot be estimated for several reasons. These children are operated under several surgical disciplines, viz, paediatric-, plastic reconstructive, neuro-, cardiothoracic-, orthopaedic surgery etc . These conditions may be life-threatening, e.g. , trachea-oesophageal fistula, critical pulmonary stenosis, etc . and require immediate surgical intervention. Some, e.g. , hydrocephalus, may need intervention as soon as the patient is fit for surgery. Some, e.g. , patent ductus arteriosus need ‘wait and watch’ policy up to a certain age in the hope of spontaneous recovery. Another extremely important category is that of patients where the operative intervention is done based on their age. Almost all the congenital anomalies coming under care of a plastic surgeon are operated as elective surgery (many as multiple stages of correction) at appropriate ages. There are advantages and disadvantages of intervention at different ages. In this article, we present a review of optimal timings, along with reasoning, for surgery of many of the common congenital anomalies which are treated by plastic surgeons. Obstetricians, paediatricians and general practitioners/family physicians, who most often are the first ones to come across such children, must know to guide the parents appropriately and convincingly impress upon the them as to why their child should not be operated immediately and also the consequences of too soon or too late.
Type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents: Exploring the disease heterogeneity and research gaps to optimum management
Authors: Pramanik Subhodip , Mondal Sunetra , Palui Rajan , Ray Sayantan
Published: June 2024

Over the past 20 years, the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents have increased, particularly in racial and ethnic minorities. Despite the rise in T2DM in children and adolescents, the pathophysiology and progression of disease in this population are not clearly understood. Youth-onset T2DM has a more adverse clinical course than is seen in those who develop T2DM in adulthood or those with T1DM. Furthermore, the available therapeutic options are more limited for children and adolescents with T2DM compared to adult patients, mostly due to the challenges of implementing clinical studies. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the de-velopment and aggressive disease phenotype of T2DM in youth is important to finding effective prevention and management strategies. This review highlights the key evidence about T2DM in children and adolescents and its current burden and challenges both in clinical care and research activities.
Unveiling childhood asthma: Exploring biomarkers, zinc, and beyond
Authors: Agrawal Amit
Published: June 2024

This editorial discusses a case-control study by Ibrahim et al, published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics . Childhood bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease. It was found that an increase in oxidative stress leads to a decrease in antioxidants causing oxidative damage to mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes resulting in the inflammation of the airway, hypersecretion of mucus causing a cascade of clinical manifestations ranging from recurrent episodes of coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness to shortness of breath. Since oxidative stress mediates the inflammatory response in asthma, the supplementation of anti-oxidants can be one strategy to manage this disease. Zinc is one such antioxidant that has attracted much attention about asthma and airway inflammation. Zinc is a crucial trace element for human metabolism that helps to regulate gene expression, enzyme activity, and protein structure. Apart from zinc, free serum ferritin levels are also elevated in case of inflammation. Several previous studies found that ferritin levels may also help determine the pathology of disease and predict prognosis in addition to tracking disease activity. However, this study's results were different from the findings of the previous studies and the zinc levels did not show a significant difference between asthmatic children and non-asthmatic children but ferritin levels were significantly high in asthmatic children as compared to the controls. Hence, the possible role of the biochemical nutritional assessment including zinc and ferritin as biomarkers for asthma severity should be assessed in the future.
Transcranial direct current stimulation as early augmentation in adolescent obsessive compulsive disorder: A pilot proof-of-concept randomized control trial
Authors: Agrawal Aditya , Agarwal Vivek , Kar Sujita Kumar , Arya Amit
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is proven to be safe in treating various neurological conditions in children and adolescents. It is also an effective method in the treatment of OCD in adults.

AIM

To assess the safety and efficacy of tDCS as an add-on therapy in drug-naive adolescents with OCD.

METHODS

We studied drug-naïve adolescents with OCD, using a Children’s Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale (CY-BOCS) scale to assess their condition. Both active and sham groups were given fluoxetine, and we applied cathode and anode over the supplementary motor area and deltoid for 20 min in 10 sessions. Reassessment occurred at 2, 6, and 12 wk using CY-BOCS.

RESULTS

Eighteen adolescents completed the study (10-active, 8-sham group). CY-BOCS scores from baseline to 12 wk reduced significantly in both groups but change at baseline to 2 wk was significant in the active group only. The mean change at 2 wk was more in the active group (11.8 ± 7.77 vs 5.25 ± 2.22, P = 0.056). Adverse effects between the groups were comparable.

CONCLUSION

tDCS is safe and well tolerated for the treatment of OCD in adolescents. However, there is a need for further studies with a larger sample population to confirm the effectiveness of tDCS as early augmentation in OCD in this population.

Comparing Piezosurgery and Rotary Techniques in Direct Maxillary Sinus Lifting
Authors: Abdulmageed Enas Abdulsattar , Noor Rana Razzaq
Published: June 2024

Background: Sinus lifting is a common surgery for bone loss in the posterior part of the maxilla. It facilitates inserting prostheses and rehabilitating the edentulous posterior maxilla. If the alveolar bone remains less than 5 mm, direct sinus lifting using the rotatory handpiece is used to perform the lateral window approach. Objective: To compare piezosurgery and rotary techniques in direct sinus lifting. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to August 2023. We enrolled 15 patients, ranging in age from 45 to 66 years, who required bilateral direct sinus lifting. Piezosurgery was performed on one side, while rotary surgery was performed on the other. We assessed the intraoperative time of opening the bony window, as well as the postoperative pain, swelling, and mouth opening at 1 hour, 2 days, 7 days, and 1 month after the procedure. Results: With rotary tools, the time for opening a bony window was significantly shorter. Piezosurgery resulted in significantly less swelling after 2 days, but there was no significant difference between the two groups after 7 days and 1 month. Regarding mouth opening, the piezo group yielded a significantly larger difference after 2 days, but the two groups demonstrated no significant difference after 7 days and 1 month. Regarding pain, the piezo group demonstrated a lower score after 6 hours and 2 days, but the two groups demonstrated no significant difference after 7 days. Conclusions: Postoperatively, piezosurgery for sinus lifting leads to less pain, swelling, and limited mouth opening.
