Published: July 2024

The modern school system is undergoing an active digital transformation. The introduction of electronic tools in secondary education opens up a number of opportunities, but in this system, timely communication between parents and teachers and is vital, which affects the effectiveness of e-learning control. This paper aims to analyze the impact of communication between parents and teachers during the process of introducing e-learning elements. The study selected 7 secondary schools that are actively implementing e-learning or elements of e-learning. The sample consists of two groups of participants: teachers (19) and parents (120). The inclusion criteria for teachers were based on their experience in teaching with the use of electronic technologies and their experience with online platforms. Parents were selected on a random basis. The main tool in the study was a questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The results show that the surveyed teachers actively use modern digital technologies to effectively organize e-learning. There is also a noticeable improvement in students' results when using modern electronic tools and learning support. Communication between parents and teachers contributes to the support of the E-learning system. Besides, current teachers use a variety of communication tools, such as emails, websites, or specific mobile applications, to inform parents about curricula, programs, schedules, and other aspects of learning. The findings note that communication improves both tracking of results and facilitates more effective engagement. The final recommendations are to create effective channels of communication between teachers, students and parents to facilitate information exchange and interaction, and to improve the involvement of parents in the innovative educational development through electronic means.

Published: July 2024

Implementasi strategi tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan (CSR) diyakini dapat membawa manfaat finansial bagi bisnis sambil meningkatkan citra korporasi mereka. Namun, ada berbagai alasan untuk terlibat dalam aktivitas CSR. Jelas bahwa keterlibatan CSR memerlukan investasi finansial dan sumber daya yang substansial, yang dapat mempengaruhi margin keuntungan perusahaan. Meskipun demikian, upaya CSR telah terbukti meningkatkan reputasi perusahaan dan menyajikan citra positif kepada pemangku kepentingan. Meskipun perusahaan mengalami biaya, investasi ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan keuntungan dan memperkuat kepercayaan serta keyakinan pemegang saham. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji efek CSR terhadap kinerja keuangan sektor-sektor terpilih yang berkontribusi pada ekonomi Malaysia. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif, penelitian ini menganalisis data sekunder yang dikumpulkan melalui perangkat lunak Stata 14 SE, mencakup periode dari 2016 hingga 2020 untuk 124 perusahaan publik terdaftar di Malaysia dalam sektor konstruksi, produk dan layanan industri, produk dan layanan konsumen, perkebunan, dan energi. Studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa CSR memiliki dampak yang tidak signifikan terhadap pengembalian aset (ROA) perusahaan-perusahaan ini. Namun, temuan juga menunjukkan bahwa CSR berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja keuangan ketika diukur dengan margin laba bersih (NPM) di sektor-sektor tersebut.

Authors: Heidari Amanollah , Akiash Nehzat , Moradi Amir , Dastoorpour Maryam , Ahmadi Farzaneh , Assareh Ahmad Reza , Afshani Seyed Mohammad Reza , Zarin Afshin
Published: July 2024

Background: Valvular heart diseases (VHD) pose a significant global health challenge, leading to numerous cardiac surgeries. The quality of valve repair is typically assessed using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and saline injection tests intraoperatively. However, TEE is not universally available, particularly in resource-limited settings. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of saline injection tests as the sole method for assessing cardiac valve repair quality. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery without intraoperative TEE assessment. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed on all patients. A consistent team performed all valve repairs, and the quality of these repairs was assessed intraoperatively using the saline injection test. Postoperative TTE was also conducted to evaluate valve function and compare it with preoperative measurements. Results: The study comprised 16 patients (mean age: 63.8 ± 10.6), predominantly male. Mitral valve (MV) repair was performed on 11 patients, with nine showing improved function (P-value: 0.006). Seven patients underwent tricuspid valve repair (TVr), all of whom exhibited improved function (P-value: 0.01). Four patients received aortic valve repair, with three showing improved function (P-value: 0.10). Additionally, significant improvements were observed in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), inter-ventricular septal diameter, posterior wall thickness (PWT), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), right ventricular peak systolic myocardial velocity (RVSm), pulmonary artery pressure, tricuspid regurgitation (TR) gradient, and right atrium area. Conclusions: The saline injection test can be a valuable tool for assessing the quality of mitral and tricuspid valve repairs, particularly when TEE is unavailable. However, its reliability for aortic valve repair remains uncertain.

IgG4-Rich Lesions Associated With Intranasal Drug Use Can Mimic IgG4-Related Disease
Authors: Turk Andrew T. , Gudis David A.
Published: July 2024

Context.—

Manifestations of immunoglobulin G4–related disease (IgG4-RD) occur in several organ systems and anatomic locations, including the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Other processes affecting the sinonasal tract, such as chronic rhinosinusitis, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, and nasal polyposis, also involve IgG4.

Objective.—

To characterize an association between IgG4 and nasal lesions arising in the clinical context of intranasal drug use.

Design.—

The cases of 3 patients (2 with histories of intranasal cocaine abuse, and 1 with intranasal heroin abuse) were evaluated. Clinical features of each case were compiled from the electronic medical record. Histologic morphology of surgical specimens was examined. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to assess involvement of/association with IgG4.

Results.—

Clinical features of these lesions included diffuse necrotic fibrinous debris, scarring, and endoscopically evident inflammation. Tissue sections showed acutely and chronically inflamed respiratory-type mucosa with abundant IgG4-positive plasma cells. Although these cases share some aspects in common with IgG4-RD, other definitive characteristics are absent, and notable differences exist.

Conclusions.—

This series provides the first demonstration of increased IgG4 expression in nasal lesions associated with intranasal drug use. Despite some similarities, the pathologic processes and IgG4-rich infiltrates in these 3 cases seem to represent a different phenomenon that is not IgG4-RD. Although these lesions contain abundant IgG4-positive cells, they should not be mistaken for or conflated with IgG4-RD.

Sonuç olarak, çalışma, "aşağıdan tarih" ve karşılaştırmalı tarihsel analiz kullanarak Afrika sosyalizminin ve Afrika'nın toplumsal tarihinin çok boyutlu ve zengin bir anlayışını sunmaktadır. Bu bulgular, Afrika'daki gelişim, sosyal adalet ve hükümetin rolü hakkındaki güncel tartışmalara değerli içgörüler sağlamaktadır.
LIFE IN THE HEART OF SOUTHWEST ETHIOPIA: PRELIMINARY REFLECTIONS ON THE PASTORAL LIFE OF THE HAMAR PEOPLE
Authors: Tekeli Evrim
Published: July 2024

Ethiopia is a country with a rich cultural history spanning thousands of years, where diverse ethnic groups coexist. This study focuses on one example of this diversity, the rural Hamar people in the Lower Omo Valley, which is internationally recognised for its unique cultural practices and ecological richness. The Hamar community is among the diverse ethnic groups in the Southern Omo Region and embodies a pastoral lifestyle closely linked to agro-pastoralism, in which cattle play a central role both culturally and economically. This lifestyle is particularly notable in the region due to its specific cultural practices and economic reliance on cattle. This study presents an in-depth examination of the pastoral lifestyle and traditional practices of the Hamar people in the Lower Omo Valley in southwestern Ethiopia. The aim is to understand the cultural, economic and environmental dynamics underlying the lifestyle of the Hamar and to explore the unique socio-economic structure and ecological adaptation of these villages. The study is also intended to contribute to the sustainability of pastoralism and to the preservation of cultural diversity at both a regional and global level. The use of observer and participant observation techniques also constitutes a preliminary study of the biological aspects of dietary habits, which I intend to examine in dept through the daily practices of the society and to carry out in the field of physical anthropology in the future. Through this research, the paper contributes to the wider discourse on the preservation of Ethiopian culture, highlighting the need to protect the rich heritage of the Hamar community amidst evolving external influences.

Childhood anemia is a public health problem that negatively affects the cognitive and physical development of children, with multifactorial causes including nutritional deficiencies and socioeconomic conditions. Diagnosis is based on a complete blood count, and low hemoglobin levels indicate anemia. In Ecuador, factors such as rural residence and micronutrient deficiencies contribute to the prevalence of anemia, with 25.7% of children under five years of age affected. This study, conducted at the "Luz y Libertad" Educational Unit, evaluated the knowledge and practices of 66 mothers about childhood anemia through questionnaires. The results showed a good level of knowledge, especially about the importance of iron, although areas such as the relationship between prolonged breastfeeding and anemia require more education. The economic situation influences child nutrition, with some prioritizing price over nutritional value. It is recommended that educational programs and economic support be implemented to improve the prevention of childhood anemia and ensure healthy development.

Authors: Culqui Molina Washington Paul , San Lucas Coque Segundo Moisés , Duran Maldonado Samira Alejandra , Freire Herrera Daniela Alexandra
Published: July 2024

The study focuses on bacteremia in dental procedures, where bacteria enter the bloodstream. Dental procedures, such as surgeries and extractions, can generate transient bacteremia in approximately half of the patients, increasing the risk of infections in patients with pre-existing medical conditions. The research aims to identify the dental procedures with the greatest potential to cause bacteremia and explore their prevalence and associated factors. The use of specific antibiotics influences the prevalence of bacteremia; in some cases, such as with Amoxicillin and Clindamycin, the prevalence is reduced, while in other studies without antibiotics, higher rates are obtained. The objective of the present investigation is to identify which dental procedures have a higher potential to trigger bacteremia

The apex locator is a quick, objective, and convenient way to determine working length, avoiding further radiation risk. Its use allows the operator to acquire more skill in its handling, and can obtain much more precise results. However, the use of Apex Locatorsdoes not fully replace the radiographic method; on the contrary, they complement each other. Despite the great technological advance, there are some contraindications that cannot be overcome, so over time the need to improve the quality and efficiency of thesedevices was seen so that they can work according to three basic principles: electrical resistance, frequency or impedance, frequency average, the last one gives the most preciseresults achieving the localization of the apical constriction within the ducts

Published: July 2024

The present research work highlights that the acute periapical abscess is a painful infectious complication that is located in the root of a tooth. Appropriate treatment includes draining the abscess, performing a root canal treatment and, in certain cases, prescribing antibiotics. However, caution should be exercised when administering medications to patients with hypertension and diabetes, as some substances may interact or have adverse effects on these medical conditions. On the other hand, endodontic pharmacology plays a crucial role in controlling inflammation, pain and infections during treatment. Various medications such as non-opioid analgesics, NSAIDs, local anesthetics, antibiotics and others are used, depending on the specific needs of each patient.Accordingly, proper management of pain and anxiety in dental procedures is paramount for patients with hypertension and diabetes, as stress can influence their blood pressure and blood glucose levels. For this reason, it is recommended to use distraction, relaxation and conscious sedation techniques in order to improve the patient's experience during treatment.Based on this, it is possible to mention that the proper choice of medications, careful management of pain and anxiety, as well as adequate patient follow-up are crucial aspects to improve oral health and the general well-being of patients with hypertension and diabetes

Published: July 2024

Background: The fabrication of fixed zirconia prostheses has experienced significant advancements with the incorporation of CAD-CAM techniques, but conventional techniques that require lower investment in specialized technology and equipment are also commonly employed. Objective: This article aims to compare CAD-CAM techniques versus conventional techniques in the development of fixed zirconia prostheses. The properties of zirconia in its use for dental restorations are identified, the technique that provides better marginal fit precision and quality in fixed zirconia prostheses is determined, and patient satisfaction regarding the aesthetics and comfort of prostheses fabricated using both techniques is assessed. Methods: A literature review was conducted by reviewing articles published in indexed academic journals within the last 5 years. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied based on PRISMA statement guidelines, in the identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion phases. A total of 13 articles that met the quality parameters were ultimately selected. Results: The properties of zirconia oxide can be summarized as good mechanical strength, biocompatibility, aesthetics, wear and corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. Researchers have concluded that CAD-CAM dental systems have represented a significant advancement in dentistry by providing high-quality fixed dental restorations, as this technology enables the fabrication of structures with a high level of precision. Both CAD-CAM and conventional methods can achieve a satisfactory aesthetic finish in fixed zirconia prostheses, depending on the skill and experience of the practitioner. There is no compelling evidence that one technique alters the properties of zirconium more than others. Conclusions: Although both techniques have their advantages and limitations, it is evident that CAD-CAM technology has demonstrated benefits in various aspects. It allows for better adaptation and fit of zirconia dental prostheses, which can enhance patient comfort and reduce the need for subsequent adjustments
