Authors: Popa Paul Șerban , Popa Gabriel Valeriu , Earar Kamel , Matei Mădălina Nicoleta
Published: January 2025

Aim of the Study: This research aims to investigate the relationship between participation in competitive sports and oral health among children. Focusing on hockey and football players, the study examines how environmental factors, especially ambient temperature, and physical activities impact oral hygiene, dental decay, periodontal inflammation, and salivary oxidative stress. Materials and Methods: The study involved 173 children aged 6 to 17, including 58 hockey players, 55 football players, and 60 non-athletic controls. Oral health was assessed using Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S), Decayed/Missing/Filled Teeth (DMF-T), and Papillary-Marginal-Attached Gingival (PMA) Index. Salivary oxidative stress was evaluated through biomarkers such as glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Data analysis was performed using MedCalc software, adhering to STROBE guidelines and employing chi-squared tests and t-tests for statistical significance. Results: The findings indicate that children engaged in competitive sports show significantly better oral health than the control group. This is evidenced by lower scores in OHI-S, PMA, and DMF-T indices among athletes, suggesting improved oral hygiene and reduced incidence of periodontal disease and dental caries. Additionally, higher levels of GPX and TAC were observed in athletes, indicating a positive impact of sports on managing salivary oxidative stress. However, lower SOD activity was also noted in these children. The study also reveals significant differences in oral health based on age, gender, and type of sport, with older children and males generally exhibiting better outcomes. Conclusions: The study concludes that regular participation in competitive sports like hockey and football positively influences oral health in children. Improved oral hygiene, lower prevalence of dental diseases, and enhanced management of oxidative stress are key benefits observed in young athletes. Despite its limitations such as small sample size and a specific focus on two sports, this research underscores the positive correlation between sports activity and oral health, paving the way for further comprehensive studies in this area.

Published: January 2025

An essential aspect in the clinical finality of the prosthetic constructions, to be found in the specialized literature, is the agreement between the biomaterials used, the technological method of choice and the particularity of the edentulous patient's prosthetic field. The resistant and flexible nature of the material fits perfectly with the particularities of the clinical cases, simplifying the design, making the flexible resin behave as a true force breaker, which ensures a superior functionality and an optimum force distribution. This study analyzes the biomechanical behaviour of flexible acrylates, compared to conventional acrylates, using mathematical modeling.
The generation of a network is based on the discretization of the computational domain. The network for the finite difference method consists of a set of points, which are called nodes. These nodes are joined by grid lines. As a conclusion, the choice of the discretization system depends on several factors: advantage in generating the network, memory requirements for the computing system, numerical accuracy obtained, flexibility in adapting to complex geometries, flexibility in locating regions where high accuracy is required, or with lower accuracy requirements.

Some Considerations Concerning the Imputation of Liberalities Made to a Non-reserving Heir
Authors:   Doctoral School of Law, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Romania, Martalog Denise Cătălina
Published: January 2025

Legal inheritance presupposes the existence of some categories of heirs expressly regulated by law, who reap from the deceased’s estate in the quotas and order established by law. There is a category of legal heirs called reserved heirs, protected by imperative rules against the will of the deceased, when they try to disinherit them directly or indirectly. The will of the deceased manifested through liberalities is the essence of testamentary inheritance. Testamentary freedom
represents the rule of inheritance law, the bequeathed having the opportunity to dispose of his wealth as he wishes. When the two types of inheritance coexist, and the deceased disposes by liberality in the presence of reserved heirs, in order to comply with the rules of legal inheritance and to divide the deceased’s wealth efficiently and correctly, it is necessary to determine precisely the part of the inheritance on which the liberality ordered by to de cujus. The study aims to analyse the situations that may arise when the deceased, in the presence of the reservators, disposes liberally in favour of a nonreservator heir and to identify balanced solutions that do not contravene the rules of legal inheritance and satisfy the principle of testamentary freedom.

The South African government seeks to tackle poverty, unemployment and inequality via the deployment and use of quality education at the tertiary level. To accomplish this, Technical Vocational Education and Training Colleges(TVET Colleges) have been strategically introduced and established as intervention tools to ensure that skills and capacities are required to address socio-economic challenges facing the country. To this end, students would be trained to receive the requisite skills to make them competent in their chosen vocation where they would utilise the skill and competency to stand on their own after graduating by establishing a vocation, enterprises, ventures where they are selfemployed and even employ others, or have the skills that are deployable in the workplace with minimal supervision to discharge the job requirements. The most potent tool that underpins the realisation of this is through the introduction of post-1994 progressive and transformative instruments that speak to the effective implementation of skills, capacity and
capability to fill skill gaps and shortages to deliver and fulfil the development agenda of South Africa.

Authors: Sánchez Arias Sofía
Published: January 2025

Se analizó el impacto del teletrabajo en los hábitos alimentarios de 50 colaboradores de una empresa de tercerización de servicios en Costa Rica. El estudio, de enfoque cuantitativo y descriptivo, investigó cómo esta modalidad afectó la calidad nutricional, la frecuencia de las comidas, las elecciones alimentarias y su relación con el estrés. La hipótesis planteaba que el teletrabajo disminuiría la calidad nutricional y alteraría la frecuencia de las comidas. Sin embargo, los resultados mostraron que el teletrabajo tuvo un efecto positivo en la calidad alimentaria, con una mayor inclusión de alimentos saludables, como frutas y vegetales. También se observó un aumento en la frecuencia de las comidas, posiblemente por la mayor disponibilidad de la cocina en casa, lo que favoreció la preparación de alimentos caseros. Aunque se registraron cambios en los hábitos alimentarios, en general fueron percibidos como positivos o neutros por los participantes. No obstante, el estrés asociado al teletrabajo afectó negativamente el apetito de los colaboradores. En conclusión, el estudio ofreció una visión completa sobre cómo el teletrabajo incide en los hábitos alimentarios, revelando mejoras en la calidad y frecuencia de la alimentación. Se sugiere investigar más a fondo los factores subyacentes de estos cambios y diseñar intervenciones que promuevan una mejor alimentación en el contexto del teletrabajo.

Authors: Talpur Shahzeb , Baloch Shifa , Raza Ali , Shafique Salman , Shaikh Alvina , Hussain Tariq , Khan Rafay
Published: January 2025

Background/objective: hepatitis b virus (HBV) is a blood borne virus responsible for potentially life-threatening liver infection and a major hazard for healthcare workers (HCWS). HCWS should have proper knowledge regarding risks and transmission of HBV as they are at higher risk than normal population. This study was created to evaluate attitude and status of HBV vaccination and re-immunization among hcws.

Methods: in this cross-sectional study, we assessed hepatitis b vaccination status among 300 medical and dental students, and healthcare workers (HCWS) at isra university hospital. Utilizing stratified random sampling ensured representation across diverse healthcare professionals. Survey forms, both electronic and printed, collected data on demographics, vaccination status, booster dose awareness and status, and antibody titer testing. Data analysis using SPSS v25 employed descriptive and inferential statistics to illuminate vaccination trends and potential demographic associations. Ethical considerations, including informed consent and confidentiality protocols, were rigorously followed under irb approval from Isra university.

Results: out of 297 participants included in this study 177 (59.6%) were vaccinated against HBV with the highest frequency seen in doctors (28.3%). Of the vaccinated HCWS, 51 (17.2%) had received a booster dose and out of all the participants, 63 (21.2%) had their antibody levels (titres) checked.

Conclusion: A significant proportion of HCWS is fully vaccinated. Given that a substantial fraction of HCWS were not adequately protected and educated, more aggressive awareness campaigns, regulations, and universal screening should be required of HCWS. This includes administering a booster dose and determining anti-HBS titer levels.
Exploring Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer that lead to Biopsy Examination in the United States: A Logistic Regression Analysis
Authors: Bhatti Muqadas
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Cervical cancer remains a significant global health concern with a substantial impact on women's lives, particularly in less-developed countries where resources are already limited. The disease is primarily caused by high-risk subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) but is largely preventable. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to examine the factors that contribute to the development of cervical cancer and explore whether these factors are linked to the choice of cervical biopsy.

Methods: The dataset from the UCI Repository was analyzed. Bivariate analysis was conducted to identify risk factors significantly associated with the occurrence of biopsy. Multiple logistic regression modeling was used to identify key predictors of biopsy likelihood.

Results: Bivariate analysis showed several risk factors that were significantly associated with biopsy occurrence, including the duration of hormonal contraceptive use, a history of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), specific STD types, cervical screening methods, and the number of STDs among patients. Further analysis using multiple logistic regression modeling identified two key predictors: prolonged ho rmonal contraceptive use (for 5 to 9 years) and the use of the Schiller cervical screening method.

Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate the importance of targeted screening and prevention strategies in cervical cancer management, which could play a crucial role in reducing the disease burden.

Published: January 2025

This study investigated the impact of sustainable agricultural practices on farm productivity, crop yield, and climate resilience among smallholder farmers across Zambia. A mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods was used to collect responses from 244 farmers. To ensure a diverse representation across different types of farming and regions, stratified random sampling was used. Key findings reveal that the majority of farmers (75%) adopted conservation agriculture, including practices like minimum soil disturbance, crop rotation, and permanent soil cover, which significantly enhanced soil health, water retention, and resilience to climate variability. A notable 53% of farmers also engaged in soil fertility management practices, such as composting and green manure, further contributing to increased yields and long-term productivity. In terms of farm size, 44% of farmers managed small plots (1-5 hectares), with the majority (51%) practicing mixed farming. This diversification of crops and livestock contributed to increased climate resilience. The study also highlighted the role of education, with 38.5% of respondents holding tertiary qualifications, which enabled the adoption of innovative, climate-smart practices. These findings highlight the importance of sustainable agricultural practices in boosting productivity, enhancing farm resilience, and mitigating climate change effects, particularly for smallholder farmers in Zambia.

A Critical Analysis of Anti-Defection Law Through an Economic Lens
Authors: Murali Manasa , Muppidi Rutu
Published: January 2025

Defection is not an unfamiliar term for parliamentary democracies like India. Though the evil
practice was present since the pre-independence era, the advent of the multi-party system
resulting in coalition governments increased floor crossing. The instabilities in the weak
regimes followed by the political turmoil leading to the rise and fall of governments raised the
demand for a law on regulating defection. Addressing popular demand, the 52nd Amendment
Act of 1985 (India Const. amend. LII, 1985) was brought into the picture which added, the 10th
schedule to the constitution (India Const. Sch. X). The law was drafted with due care and
attention to retain political preferences and the public’s choice. This legislation provided for
the disqualification of members in case of defection except for a split or a merger. Subsequently,
the law was judicially challenged and judgments were interpreted, where the deterrence effect
of the law is highly doubtful. This paper makes an attempt to understand the development of
anti-defection law, through judicial interpretations while pointing out the drawbacks of the
legislation with the help of economic analysis. To determine the efficiency of the law, economic
theories like game theory and public choice theory were applied.

In recent years, the landscape of healthcare has been undergoing a profound transformation driven pioneering innovations [1]. These advancements are not only revolutionizing how medical professionals diagnose, treat, and manage diseases but are also enhancing the quality of patient care in unprecedented ways. From the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical diagnostics to the development of personalized medicine, the future of healthcare is being reshaped a wave of technological breakthroughs. This article explores some of the most significant innovations in modern medicine and how they are poised to shape the future of patient care. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have become indispensable tools in the medical field, particularly in diagnostics and treatment planning. AI algorithms are capable of analyzing vast amounts of medical data, identifying patterns, and making predictions with a level of accuracy that surpasses human capabilities. One of the most notable applications of AI is in medical imaging, where it has been used to enhance the accuracy of radiological interpretations. For example, AI-powered tools can detect abnormalities in X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, often identifying early signs of diseases like cancer that might be missed the human eye [2].
Preoperative administration of low-dose Nalbuphine along with Diazepam effectively alleviates post-delivery distress during C-Section
Authors: Islam Md Imrul
Published: January 2025

Background: Cesarean sections (C-sections) are common surgical procedures often accompanied by post-delivery distress, including palpitation, restlessness, chest discomfort, and nausea. The effective management of these symptoms is critical for maternal well-being. Nalbuphine, a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist, along with Diazepam, a benzodiazepine, presents a promising combination for alleviating post-operative distress. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of low-dose Nalbuphine in combination with Diazepam in reducing palpitation, chest discomfort, and nausea in women undergoing C-sections, particularly after oxytocin administration and during uterus mobilization and peritoneal handling. Method: A total of 522 patients from Rajshahi Medical College Hospital were included in this study, conducted between June 2019 and December 2023. Patients with pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, or placenta previa were excluded. Nalbuphine and Diazepam were administered post-delivery to assess their efficacy in reducing palpitation, chest discomfort, nausea, and vomiting. Outcome measures were recorded through patient self-reports and clinical observations. Result: The combination of Nalbuphine and Diazepam effectively reduced post-delivery distress in 89.5% of patients (p < 0.001). Palpitation and restlessness significantly decreased in 87.3% of patients after oxytocin administration (p = 0.002), while 85% of patients reported substantial relief from chest discomfort during uterus mobilization (p = 0.004). Additionally, 92% of patients experienced complete alleviation of nausea and vomiting during peritoneal handling (p < 0.001). Only 8.7% of patients required additional interventions due to persistent symptoms, demonstrating the high efficacy of the treatment. Conclusions: Low-dose Nalbuphine combined with Diazepam significantly alleviates post-delivery distress in C-section patients, improving maternal outcomes and reducing discomfort.

Rhetorics of Ecocriticality: The Ecocomposition of the Selected Poems of Francis C. Macansantos
Authors:   University of Santo Tomas Manila, Philippines, Ledesma Jan Raen Carlo M. Ledesma Jan Raen Carlo
Published: January 2025

Based on Hubert Zapf’s theory of the "Ecological Force” of Literature and Timothy Morton’s theory of “Ambient Poetics,” this study attempts to flesh out tropes of ecocriticism in the selected poems of Francis C. Macansantos from his collection Snail Fever: Poems of Two Decades (2016). From these theories, Macansantos’ selected poems
are revealed to deploy the rhetorics of ecocriticality linking literature to a greater web of discourses concerning nature and the environment. In particular, discourses which are grounded in the interactions of the spheres
of culture and nature become, in literary studies, the springboard for fleshing out ecocritical ranges and forces. This is further shown by expanding and thematically analyzing Dobrin and Weisser’s concept of ecocomposition or "literature’s constitutive existence.” Capitalizing on ecocomposition supported by ecomimesis, the study posits that the ecocomposition and ecological rhetoric of Macansantos’ selected poems take their cue from his ecocritical creative stance from which place, situatedness, ambience, nature, and environment become discursive ecocritical categories. The analysis of the selected poems with strong ecological bent reveals a remarkable variety of ecocritical
themes: the polarity transpiring between the anthropocentric and ecocentric domains of ecology, the precepts of shallow ecology that support the continuity of the anthropocene’s life through the resources of nature and the environment, the decentering of the anthropocene through the notion of deep ecology, the rhetorics of environmental debasement, and thoughts on sustainability as reflected in literature.
La Chinoise and Aesthetic Dissensuality
Authors:   Polytechnic University of the Philippines-Manila, Villafuerte Jesus Emmanuel
Published: January 2025

Jean Luc-Godard and Jacques Ranciere are two of the most important intellectuals of their time— the first is a filmmaker whose films are considered to be some of the best French Cinema has produced, the latter is a philosopher whose works continue to immensely influence the intellectual current of the world. While it can be said that their lives did not intersect, their respective oeuvres are not totally different from each other, in fact, Ranciere in his works on Cinema has continuously referenced the films of Godard in explaining his theoretical concepts, and Godard for his part, although he never mentioned any awareness of it, seemingly molds his aesthetics after Ranciere’s views on art. Keeping this in mind, this paper will endeavor to present a concrete link between the works of these two sui-generis thinkers; in particular, the researcher will attempt to read one of Godard’s most little known films, La Chinoise, using one of Ranciere’s most famous theoretical concepts: dissensus. Dissensus is the necessary break/gap in the sensible order and could be seen in works of art. Hence, dissensus is primarily a concept that operates in the aesthetic order, a tick of the aesthetic regime—the researcher wishes to uncover the dissensuality/ies in Godard’s La Chinoise.
Knowledge Sits in Places:The Vernacularity and Emplacement of Fish Markets in Southern Philippines
Authors:   Cardiff University Wales, United Kingdom, Turgo Nelson
Published: January 2025

Markets sit in places and knowledge produced in these places also constitute the very foundation of markets’
viability and market actors’ performative competitive edge. However, not all markets are created equal primarily in the context of their importance in the global economy. Thus conceived, we imagine a world economy or markets populated by people in front of wide computer screens making sense of financial algorithms and derivatives. In a way, here, we see a market that is run by codified knowledge, or scientific knowledge that transcends boundaries. But what about a conception of market that recognizes the production of knowledge in the periphery, and this instance, fish markets, where place-based knowledge marks the contours of engagement of fishmongers to their wider world and yet, concomitantly, also underscores their attachment to place? In this article, in an ethnographic study of four fish markets in a small coastal town in southern Philippine, fishmongers engage with market processes via their production and deployment of vernacular knowledge which is performed in the form of public specialized knowledge, tacit knowledge and network knowledge. In these forms of vernacular knowledge, we become cognizant of the complexities of market processes even in places that are relegated to the margins, where knowledge plays a crucial role in sensing the world and making it lived and real.
