Published: January 2025

Social-emotional development in early education is fundamental for the integral well-being of children and their adaptation to the school environment. This article analyzes innovative pedagogical strategies that promote emotional and social skills from the early educational stages. Recent studies that address the impact of approaches such as play-based learning, emotional intelligence, collaborative work and the use of educational technologies on children's social-emotional development were reviewed. The results show that play-based learning favors emotional self-regulation, conflict resolution and empathy, while activities related to emotional intelligence enhance children's ability to express and understand their emotions. Likewise, collaborative work fosters cooperation and social interaction, contributing to the construction of positive relationships. For their part, educational technologies offer interactive tools to complement socioemotional learning in a personalized way. It is concluded that these strategies should be integrated into early education programs, prioritizing teacher training and the design of activities that respond to the emotional needs of children. Promoting socioemotional development from infancy contributes to integral learning and to the formation of responsible and empathetic citizens.

Neuroscience, as a vast field of study, is responsible for offering revolutionary perspectives on how the human brain learns and processes information. So this article delves into the contribution of this discipline in order to understand learning, thus proposing an innovative education that is based on the research of Jean Piaget, Paul McLean, Francisco Mora, among other prominent figures with an exploratory and descriptive methodology. Examining brain plasticity, that amazing ability of the brain to adapt and reorganize in response to new experiences and challenges that humans face throughout life. Taking into account the neural connections, which are strengthened or weakened with each new experience and are also fundamental to learning and the acquisition of knowledge. So in the development of the same, the importance of understanding the cognitive processes and brain areas that work in synergy to generate the conscious experience, and contribute to the functioning of the brain, resulting in learning, is highlighted. Understanding these mechanisms can therefore not only transform the way we teach in classrooms, but can also influence self-taught learning methods and settings outside of traditional educational settings. Neuroscience, therefore, not only illuminates areas of knowledge, but also offers tools to improve educational practices, making learning a more personalized and effective experience.

Diarrhea is a leading cause of illness and death in children under five years old. Severe cases of diarrhea, particularly those resulting in dehydration, are a major factor in high mortality rates. Rotavirus is a significant pathogen contributing to dehydrating diarrhea and hospitalizations in children under five. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of vaccination in preventing the progression of gastroenteritis, with a focus on rotavirus-induced gastroenteritis. Material and methods: The present study was conducted within the Pediatric Department of The Emergency Clinical Hospital “St. Apostle Andrew” in Constanța, including 307 patients diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis during the period of January 1 and December 31, 2023. Results: The prevalence declined with age: 183 infants, 67 patients were between 1 and 3 years old, 42 were aged 3 to 7, and the smallest group, 15 patients, were between 7 and 16 years old, and 201 of the 307 children did not receive the Rotarix or Rotateq vaccines, while 106 patients completed the full vaccination regimen. As for the etiology of the disease, 160 patients were diagnosed with acute viral enterocolitis, with 142 cases attributed to Rotavirus. An increase in dehydration and electrolyte imbalances was observed in subjects who had not received the preventive Rotavirus vaccine. Conclusion: The role of the vaccine in preventing the severe progression of gastroenteritis, particularly that caused by Rotavirus, is highlighted by the reduced frequency of dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and shorter hospital stays in patients who received the Rotarix/Rotateq vaccine.

Published: January 2025

Meningiomas developing in the anterior and middle fossa can compress the optic nerve (ON) and cause secondary visual disturbances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, pathological, and surgical characteristics of atypical meningiomas (WHO grade II) compressing the ON and located in the anterior and middle fossa of the skull base. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied the data of 5 patients with atypical meningiomas compressing the ON, diagnosed at the Prof. Dr. Nicolae Oblu Emergency Clinical Hospital in Iași, from 2010 to 2019. Results: Out of 5 patients, 4 presented with intracranial hypertension syndrome at admission, and 2 with motor deficits. Most patients (4 out of 5) had reduced visual acuity (VA) at admission, and 3 of them had partial or total ON atrophy. The preferred surgical approach was the pterional approach for sellar and parasellar meningiomas (2 cases), and the frontotemporal approach for large meningiomas with extension (3 cases). Conclusion: Although most patients had reduced VA at the time of admission, they presented to the hospital with other neurological symptoms. This suggests that the slow growth of intracranial meningiomas and the gradual compression of the ON may delay early diagnosis and, more importantly, effective treatment in these patients. We recommend regular evaluation of VA, as early detection of a slow-growing intracranial tumor, such as a meningioma, can help prevent vision loss.

Objectives: This study evaluates two dental materials—modified resin with glass fiber (Trinia) and hybrid ceramic (Vita Enamic)—for implant crown restoration, focusing on biocompatibility. Material and Methods: Using a CAD/CAM system, two Vita Enamic blocks and a multidirectional network disc of Trinia were fabricated. A human gingival fibroblasts line (HFIB-G) was used to investigate cell viability and cytotoxicity of the dental materials through MTT, respectively LDH assays.
Results: After 24 hours of incubation the glass fiber-reinforced composite (Trinia) decreased the viability of human gingival fibroblasts by almost 17% of the control level, while hybrid ceramic composite (Vita Enamic) reduced the viability significantly by 35%, suggesting cytotoxicity-induced to the HFIB-G cells. The highest degree of cytotoxicity was induced by ceramic-based composites after 24 hours, in this case, a ~42% increase in NO level above control was reported after 24 hours of incubation, in accordance with the MTT results.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that while hybrid ceramic is more elastic, it is less biocompatible and less durable under compressive forces than the modified resin. As a clinician, the choice of ideal dental material should consider the desired balance between mechanical properties and biological compatibility.
THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN THE DENTAL FIELD – THE PHENOMENON OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
Authors: Anton Alina , Predescu Iasmina Alexandra , Nuca Cristina , Pacurar Mariana , Dinu Ștefania
Published: January 2025

Antibiotics are one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century, widely used in the dental field for prophylactic or therapeutic scope, treating non-odontogenic and odontogenic acute and chronic infections. Antimicrobial resistance is an alarming problem that involves important consequences, especially in managing therapies for patients with life-threatening infections. In the dental field, antibiotic consumption is not always considered adequate, leading to incorrect or excessive drug use. This phenomenon is reflected in the therapeutic failure observed in many cases. The apparition of microbial biofilms, such as dental plaque, may be an important reason for promoting antibiotic resistance. The antimicrobial resistance increases usually with repeated cycles of AB administration for the selection of microorganisms. Phytotherapy represents an undeniable source of therapeutic solutions for various pathologies, including bacterial contamination. Thus, the effect of antimicrobial resistance can be reduced by replacing common antibiotics with phytocompounds, if this switch is admissible.

Published: January 2025

Dental pulp inflammation culminates in gangrene, often progressing to chronic apical periodontitis (CAP), thus representing a potential source of inflammatory factors with an impact on overall general health. This study investigated the impact of periapical lesions on patients’ general homeostazis and systemic inflammatory status. Two hundred patients were enrolled in a cross-sectional observational study, with 73 diagnosed with periapical inflammation based on orthopantomography and clinical assessment. The following parameters were recorded from peripheric blood and saliva samples: total blood count, total lipids, plasma inflammatory factors (hsCRP), markers of nitro-oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity), carbohydrate metabolism and advanced glycation end-products (carboxymethyllysine). Patients were divided into two groups based on the number of dental units affected by CAP relative to the remaining teeth: group 1 (less than the median number of dental units affected by CAP) and group 2 (equal or higher than median number of dental units affected by CAP). Plasma levels of fructollysine, total antioxidant capacity, and salivary levels of thiols were significantly higher in Group 2. Conversely, plasma and salivary levels of pyrraline, along with salivary oxidative stress index were significantly lower in Group 2. Salivary arginine values were slightly lower in Group 2. Within the limitations of the present study, we can conclude that CAP appears to have a minor influence on meta-inflammation and inflammatory status. However, its cumulative effect with other associated pathologies could impact the overall modulation of the inflammatory response and general homeostasis. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Published: January 2025

Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to evaluate the cephalometric parameters from Björk-Jarabak analysis and to assess the sexual dimorphism in Caucasian adults with Class I and Class III skeletal patterns. Materials and methods: The study analysed 100 lateral cephalograms of adult patients from Western Romania, divided into skeletal Class I (ANB = 2° ± 2°) and Class III (ANB 0°) groups, with 25 males and 25 females per group. Using AudaxCeph 5 Essentials software, Björk's polygon angles (saddle, articular, and gonial angles) were measured, along with linear measurements (anterior and posterior cranial base length, mandibular ramus height, and mandibular body length). Results: Sexual dimorphism in Class I patients was observed in both angular (N-S-Ar and Sum of angles) and linear measurements, with males showing larger linear values and females showing greater angular measurements. In Class III patients, sexual dimorphism was limited to linear measurements, with males showing larger values. Between Class I and Class III patterns, significant differences were found in the articular angle and the ramal height, with Class III subjects showing smaller angular values, but larger linear dimensions. Class I patients demonstrated more numerous and stronger correlations between measurements compared to Class III patients. Conclusions: These differences support the growing evidence that ethnic and sexual variations play a significant role in craniofacial morphology and should be considered in clinical practice.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates the survival rates and failure modes of layered lithium disilicate restorations with feldspathic ceramic layering, observing a total of 546 restorations across 62 patients, evenly distributed by gender (31 males and 31 females), over an average follow-up period of 52.1 months. The findings reveal an impressive overall survival rate of 97.6%, with 13 failures identified, predominantly fractures (8 cases), followed by debonding (2 cases) and dyschromia (2 cases). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated no statistically significant differences in survival rates between male and female patients (Log Rank Test, p=0.877), although males exhibited a marginally longer mean survival time. These results correspond with existing literature that emphasizes the prevalence of fractures in layered restorations, particularly in high-stress areas. The study suggests that careful consideration of clinical factors is essential for optimizing the performance of these restorations. Future research should focus on exploring various restoration designs and conducting prospective studies in standardized settings to validate these findings and improve clinical protocols.

Authors: Jantea Adrian , Mihali Sorin Gheorghe , Lolos Dan , Tudor Anca , Mitariu Mihai
Published: January 2025

This study compares the clinical outcomes of two methods for veneer application: the no-prep and prep approaches. A total of 170 patients (108 females, 62 males, mean age 45.2 years) were treated with veneers using either the no-prep or prep method. Clinical evaluations were based on criteria such as esthetic anatomical form, occlusal contour and wear, and periodontal response, measured over a 10-year follow-up period. The results demonstrated that the no-prep method significantly outperformed the prep method in several key areas, including esthetic anatomical form (C3), occlusal contour and wear (C6), and periodontal response (C10), with p-values of 0.038, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively. The no-prep method also showed superior performance in terms of recurrent caries (C8). These findings suggest that the no-prep method provides notable advantages in both functionality and esthetics, leading to better long-term clinical outcomes compared to the prep method, when correctly applied to the patient case.
Research on the mechanism of promoting precise poverty alleviation through educational informatization based on biomechanical mechanism
Authors: Jiang Heng , Yin Guangluan
Published: January 2025

Drawing on the theory of biomechanics, this study explores the mechanism of promoting precision poverty alleviation through education informatization. Precision poverty alleviation is at the core of China’s poverty reduction strategy, addressing the root causes of poverty through targeted interventions. Under this framework, education informatization has become a key tool for bridging systemic inequalities by enhancing the quality and equity of education through information technology. From basic digital construction to the deep integration of big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, education informatization has made remarkable progress. Analogous to how biomechanical systems optimize force transmission and movement efficiency, it showcases great potential for the optimal distribution of educational resources, enhancing access to education in impoverished regions, and fueling long-term socio-economic progress. However, its role in rural and underdeveloped areas still faces many challenges. Viewing education informatization as a dynamic “biomechanical structure” and borrowing concepts like structural adaptation, load optimization, and connectivity from biomechanics, we posit that big data technology, acting as a “biomechanical signal”, can precisely pinpoint needy students and allocate educational resources adeptly, much like how forces are coordinated in a mechanical system. Based on the fuzzy breakpoint regression model and fixed-effects analysis of CFPS (China Family Panel Studies) data, the study finds that education informatization significantly improves the subjective well-being, health care, and employment outcomes of rural families. This study highlights the innovative role of education informatization in enhancing resilience, equity, and resource efficiency through the synergy of technological evolution and policy adaptation, providing a new perspective on precision poverty alleviation.
The relationship between the quality of sports facilities and people’s satisfaction with exercise—The chain mediating effect of active participation and self-efficacy in the context of biomechanics
Authors: Wang Liping , Wang Ping , Sun Sixuan , Fan Yiling
Published: January 2025

In order to explore the relationship between active participation and self-efficacy in the quality of sports facilities and exercise satisfaction, this study takes into account the perspective of biomechanics. A survey was conducted among 361 urban residents aged 16 and above in Yongzhou City. The “Sports Facilities Quality Scale”, “Active Participation Scale”, “Self-Efficacy Scale”, and “Exercise Satisfaction Scale” were utilized, with an added consideration of biomechanical factors. Biomechanics, which examines the mechanical aspects of human movement during exercise, provides a crucial framework for understanding how sports facilities interact with the human body. High - quality sports facilities, designed in accordance with biomechanical principles, can significantly influence the physical experience of exercise. For example, the surface material and structure of a running track can affect the impact forces on joints during running, and the ergonomic design of fitness equipment can enhance the efficiency and comfort of movements. These biomechanical factors directly impact a person’s active participation in exercise. When facilities are biomechanically optimized, individuals are more likely to engage actively in physical activities, as they experience less discomfort and reduced risk of injury.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) offers hitherto unimagined possibilities for fostering student well-being. Yet, its potential remains underutilized – especially for cultivating intellectual well-being, which is a positive sense of self that comes from engaging authentically in the ethical, conceptual, and practical complexities of a topic [1]. How can GenAI help teachers provide personalized, timely, and aligned support for student intellectual well-being? This article explains and illustrates how teachers can use GenAI to transform textual material, enabling students of all skill levels to engage deeply with complex topics and foster their intellectual well-being.

Генеративный искусственный интеллект (GenAI) предлагает доселе невообразимые возможности для повышения благополучия учеников. Однако его потенциал остаётся нереализованным, особенно с точки зрения развития интеллектуального благополучия, которое представляет собой позитивное самоощущение, возникающее в результате подлинного вовлечения в этические, концептуальные и практические сложности той или иной темы [1]. Как GenAI может помочь учителям обеспечить персонализированную, своевременную и согласованную поддержку интеллектуального благополучия учащихся? В этой статье объясняется и демонстрируется, как учителя могут использовать GenAI для преобразования текстового материала, позволяя учащимся всех уровней подготовки глубоко погружаться в сложные темы и укреплять своё интеллектуальное благополучие.

Генеративті жасанды интеллект (GenAI) оқушылардың хал-ахуалын жақсарту үшін бұған дейін болмаған айрықша мүмкіндіктер ұсынуда. Дегенмен оның әлеуеті әлі де толыққанды қолданылып жүрген жоқ, бұл әсіресе интеллектуалдық хал-ахуалды дамытуға қатысты, яғни белгілі бір тақырыптың этикалық, тұжырымдамалық және практикалық күрделілігіне іс жүзінде қатысудан туындайтын позитивті сезінуге қатысты [1]. GenAI оқушылардың интеллектуалдық хал-ахуалына мұғалімдердің дербестендірілген, уақытылы және дәйекті қолдау көрсетуіне қалай көмектесе алады? Бұл мақалада мұғалімдердің жасанды интеллектіні мәтіндік материалды түрлендіру үшін қалай қолдана алатыны сипатталады. Бұл барлық деңгейдегі оқушылардың күрделі тақырыптарды тереңірек ұғынуына және интеллектуалдық хал-ахуалын нығайтуына мүмкіндік береді.

Published: January 2025

How important is teacher happiness? This reflective article emphasises the critical importance of teacher wellbeing. Happy and healthy teachers are better equipped to create positive learning environments, leading to improved student outcomes and overall school climate, as well as supporting teacher retention and productivity in the long term. This article considers how we can potentially use artificial intelligence (AI) to alleviate teacher workload. By automating tasks like grading, creating personalised learning plans, and generating educational content, AI can free up teachers to focus on more meaningful interactions with students. This paper highlights that, ultimately, the combination of teacher wellbeing and AI-driven innovations can lead to a more effective and fulfilling education system for both teachers and students.

Какое значение имеет счастье учителя? Эта обзорная статья подчёркивает исключительную значимость благополучия учителей. Счастливые и здоровые учителя лучше подготовлены к созданию позитивной учебной среды, способствующей улучшению успеваемости учеников и общего школьного климата, а также удержанию учителей и повышению их производительности в долгосрочной перспективе. В этой статье мы рассмотрим, как можно использовать искусственный интеллект (ИИ) для снижения нагрузки на учителей. Автоматизируя такие задачи, как оценивание, составление индивидуальных планов обучения и создание образовательного контента, ИИ может предоставить учителям возможность сосредоточиться на более значимом взаимодействии с учениками. В данной статье подчёркивается, что в конечном итоге сочетание благополучия учителей и инноваций на основе ИИ может привести к созданию более эффективной и полноценной системы образования как для учителей, так и для учеников.

Published: January 2025

Although much of the focus in education is on academic outcomes, the everyday experience of school has a profound impact on both the wellbeing and learning for every young person. This article summarises the ASPIRE principles of Agency, Safety, Positivity, Inclusion, Respect and Equity, which together promote a culture that helps to make school a place where young people are motivated to attend, engage with, and find joy in learning and maintain a positive sense of self. This article explains why each principle matters in education and gives evidence and examples of the difference it makes for both wellbeing and learning.

Хотя основное внимание в образовании уделяется академическим результатам, повседневный школьный опыт оказывает глубокое влияние как на благополучие, так и на обучение каждого ученика. В этой статье кратко изложены принципы ASPIRE: «Агентство», «Безопасность», «Позитивность», «Инклюзивность», «Уважение» и «Равенство», которые вместе способствуют формированию культуры, помогающей сделать школу местом, где у учеников есть мотивация посещать школу, вовлекаться в процесс обучения, находить в нём радость и сохранять позитивное самоощущение. В этой статье объясняется, почему каждый принцип важен для образования, и приводятся доказательства и примеры того, как они влияют на благополучие и обучение.

Білім беруде академиялық нәтижелерге басты назар аударылғанымен, күнделікті мектеп тәжірибесі әрбір оқушының хал-ахуалы мен оқуына терең әсер етеді. Бұл мақалада ASPIRE қағидалары: «Әрекет», «Қауіпсіздік», «Позитивтілік», «Инклюзивтілік», «Құрмет» және «Теңдік» қағидалары қысқаша сипатталған, бұл қағидалардың бірлігі мектепті оқушылардың ынтамен баратын, оқу процесіне белсенді қатысуға, өзін қуанышты жағымды ортада сезінуге ынталандыратын оқу орнына айналдыруға көмектесетін мәдениетті қалыптастыруға ықпал етеді. Бұл мақалада әрбір қағиданың білім беру үшін қаншалықты маңызды екендігі қарастырылады және олардың оқушылардың хал-ахуалы мен оқуына қалай ықпал ететіні туралы дәлелдер мен мысалдар келтіріледі.
