Rethinking teaching in the age of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Murgatroyd Stephen
Published: August 2023

The emergence of powerful natural language Artificial Intelligence systems, such as ChatGPT 4.0, has created a new dynamic in schools, colleges and universities. Some see the present moment as a turning point in our thinking about teaching, learning and assessment, with new approaches and practices suddenly becoming possible. Others are concerned that unleashing powerful AI tools on an unready education system may distort and damage a fragile system. AI tools can be used to advance the agenda of technification and the global education reform movement (GERM) or can be used to enable a mindset shift to a more engaged, authentic, compassionate, and collaborative approach to teaching and learning. This paper explores this moment of truth.

Authors: Canese Ambrasath Gladys Ramona , Douglas Hincapié Michael José , Acosta Fernández Nubia , Barreto Araujo Gabriel Osmar
Published: August 2023

La educación mediada por tecnología en la Universidad pública se viene implementando desde la Pandemia por el COVID-19, transformándose hoy en educación híbrida. La educación híbrida es el modelo actual vigente para el periodo académico 2023. Medir la percepción de la calidad educativa de los estudiantes y docentes es fundamental, debido a que es importante conocer el parecer de la comunidad educativa para que los esfuerzos sean valorados y que provengan de todos los sectores. Asegurar la calidad, no es fácil, existen múltiples factores, por un lado, las inversiones y capacitaciones tanto a los docentes, administrativos, e inclusive a los estudiantes. Y, por otro lado, los resultados de la educación híbrida a mediano plazo, que se estudia por medio del cumplimiento del perfil profesional, además los criterios que corresponden a la verificación de los logros laborales y de crecimiento profesional. El método de investigación fue exploratorio-descriptivo, con un enfoque mixto, de diseño no experimental y corte transversal (junio 2023), con muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. La técnica a la que se recurrió fue la encuesta y el instrumento de recolección de datos, un cuestionario on-line por medio de la herramienta Google Forms, el cual fue utilizado para la tabulación y el correspondiente procesamiento estadístico y gráfico de los datos recolectados. Así de la información resultante en conjunto con la investigación bibliográfica de fuentes secundarias se pudo llegar a la conclusión sobre el objetivo de la investigación. Más del 80% de los docentes, y más del 70% de los estudiantes, que contestaron la encuesta, afirmaron que se debe continuar con el uso de las plataformas educativas, también la mayoría percibe que el aprendizaje con la educación híbrida es “muy bueno” y los contenidos aprendidos son “bastantes”. Los resultados sobre la percepción de forma general son muy positivos. Sin embargo, se plantean puntos de mejora enmarcados entre los desafíos que tienen que ver con la capacitación docente, y la necesidad de fortalecer los recursos de infraestructura de la educación híbrida.

La comunicación transmedia en los museos de moda: una revisión sistemática de la literatura
Authors: González Liendo Julio
Published: August 2023

Durante mucho tiempo la moda fue rechazada por las élites de los museos. Sin embargo, en el último medio siglo, ha conquistado espacios dentro de las instituciones museísticas. Incluso diseñadores como Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci o Ferragamo, ahora cuentan con museos que recogen su obra. El estudio tuvo como objetivo entender cómo aborda la literatura científica el tema de la comunicación transmedia en los museos, especialmente los dedicados a la moda. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura a partir de las bases de datos de Scopus y Google Scholar. El criterio de inclusión fue el acceso abierto de los documentos y permitió recoger 1.877 artículos a partir del objetivo planteado inicialmente; se analizaron 64, que se ajustaban al rigor que exige la investigación. El análisis se enfocó en aquellas investigaciones dedicadas a la comunicación cultural y los museos, la comunicación de los museos de moda, las estrategias de comunicación de las exposiciones de moda, las exposiciones temporales de moda y su comunicación, así como la comunicación implementada en las casas museos de moda. Se concluye que la comunicación transmedial en los museos es casi nula, no solo por el escaso número de publicaciones sobre la temática, sino porque los existentes no resaltan la importancia de los prosumidores en las estrategias de comunicación, ni tampoco han prestado atención a los museos dedicados a la moda. La investigación tiene la limitación de no haber incluido la base de datos Web of Science, lo que amplificaría el entendimiento del fenómeno.
Læreplananalyse av samfunnsfaget i grunnskolens fremstilling av IKT og digitale medier
Authors: Halse Rolf
Published: August 2023

Læreplanen i samfunnsfag som trådte i kraft i 2020 (SAF01-04 ) gir nye føringer i opplæringen for hvilke kunnskaper, holdninger og ferdigheter elever skal mestre. SAF01-04 understreker at «samfunnsfag er eit sentralt fag for at elevane skal bli deltakande, engasjerte og kritisk tenkjande medborgarar». Formuleringen tyder på at opplæringen skal vektlegge elevers evner til å gjøre seg egne meninger og handle i forhold til dem. I en tilsvarende introduksjon av samfunnsfag i forrige læreplan, SAF1-01, blir ikke adjektivene «engasjerte» og «kritisk tenkende» tatt med eller elevene omtalt. Denne studien er en komparativ innholdsanalyse av SAF1-01 og SAF01-04. Utgangspunktet er hvordan IKT og digitale medier blir fremstilt i opplæringen i lys av Wolfgang Klafkis danningsteori. I møte med empirien blir det i analysen anvendt mediepedagogisk teori og ulike danningsperspektiver. I presentasjonen av SAF01-04 og relaterte styringsdokumenter beskrives det at elever skal tilegne seg ferdigheter og kompetanse om medier og teknologi som læringsverktøy. Men det skal samtidig fremmes digitalt medborgerskap og kunnskap om digitale medier som kulturelle fenomener. Analysens resultater peker mot at IKT og digitale medier ofte er adressert og vurdert som ferdigheter og verktøy for læring i læreplanene, men sjelden blir knyttet til undervisningens innhold i kompetansemål. Dette indikerer at kunnskap og innhold om digitale medier og datateknologi som kulturelle fenomener liten grad blir vektlagt i opplæringen. Analysen viser at det som Klafki (1996) beskriver som kjernen ved kategorial danning; foreningen av material kunnskap og formale ferdigheter, ikke er til stede i SAF1-01, mens det foreligger et par eksempler i SAF01-04.

Published: August 2023

Individuals experience stress as a cognitive response when they anticipate their inability to respond adequately to the perceived demands of a given situation, accompanied by an anticipation of substantial negative consequences due to inadequate response. The study examined technostress management and employee related outcomes of job security, job satisfaction and employee productivity in deposit money banks in Enugu metropolis. This paper sought to determine the effect of techno- insecurity on employee job security, ascertain the effect of techno-complexity on employee productivity as well as assess the effect of techno-uncertainty on employee job satisfaction. The study adopted the survey research design. The target population was 408 staff of financial service entities, out of which a sample size of 181 respondents was realized. Data in form of self-reports were collected through a structured questionnaire and the data were analysed using logistic regression. Findings from the study demonstrated that techno- insecurity did not positively affect employee job security. Techno- complexity did not positively affect employee productivity. Techno-uncertainty did not positively affect employee job satisfaction. Consequently, it was concluded that techno-stress does not positively affect job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and employee outcomes. Organizations should send their employees on information technology training, so as to acquire the necessary knowledge of ICT which offsets stress and ensures job security.

Authors: J. Onuora, J. K. , Georgina Ezejelue
Published: August 2023

This study on forensic accounting services and fraud prevention in the Nigerian public sector was empirically investigated. The study is vital as it portrays the extent to which the application of forensic accounting services reduces the incidence of fraud in the government sector of Nigeria. Three hypotheses were formulated to guide the investigation and the statistical test of parameter estimates was conducted using Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance. The study anchored on the White Collar Crime Theory adopted a Survey Design Approach. Hence, data were collected using questionnaire survey administered to the relevant accounting sections of federal government ministries, departments, agencies and parastatals in Awka metropolis. The empirical analysis of the study indicates that the application of forensic accounting service has reduced the incidence of frauds and has also led to fraud prevention at 1% significant level. Thus, the study concludes that the application of forensic accounting services prevents fraud in the in Nigerian public sector organizations. In lieu of this, the study recommended that government should establish a Public Recovery Fund (PRF), where funds collected through forensic accounting should be held and properly used to improve the performance of Nigerian public sector. Also, forensic accounting services are recommended in the Nigerian public sector as it brings fraud and other fraudulent practices to its lowest level.

Published: August 2023

The study examined empirical works on burden of government debt on economic development and debt overhang proposition: analyses of empirical evidences. It was discovered that many studies predominantly found out significant negative relationship (Ajayi & Edewusi, 2020; Matandare &Tito, 2018; Ehikioya et al., 2020; Rafindadi & Musa, 2019; Amaefule, 2018; Ay'unku & Markjackson , 2020; Yusuf & Said, 2018; Elom-Obed, 2017; Pegkas, 2018; Moussa & Shawawreh, 2017; Obisesan et al., 2019; Marafa, 2017; Idris &Ahmad, 2017; Charles & Abimbola, 2018; Akhanolu, 2018) between government debt burden and economic development while very scanty and few studies revealed a positive significant relationship (Lucky & Godday, 2017; Eke & Akujuobi, 2021;Akhanolu, 2018; Iacobo & Ialile, 2017) and non-significant relationship (Ofurum & Fubara, 2022); Mensah, 2018; Ay'unku & Markjackson, 2020) between the public debt and economic development. Several of the empirical study are not premised on debt overhang theory that goes to a great extent to explain the consequences of external debt on countries exceeding certain threshold of external debt stock with attendant consequences associated with external debt as discouraging private investors due to high tax rates in order to raise fund to compensate for the debt (Cohen, 1993). The study discovered other factors namely government expenditure, in?ation rate, interest rate, and exchange rate that have effect on economic development. The empirical studies examined recommended as follows: that borrowed funds, particularly foreign debt, should be reduced. That corruption, especially on borrowed monies, be avoided at all costs and that the government should limit foreign borrowing since it has a detrimental in?uence on the economy. That public debt not tied to investment does not contribute to economic growth of the studied country; that the government should increase efforts to increase domestic revenue sources to ?nance its growth

SOCIETAS DIALOGAL: MEMBANGUN KARAKTER KOMUNITER BAGI ORANG MUDA INDONESIA DI TENGAH ARUS GLOBALISASI
Authors: Thomas Kadek Lintang Kurniawan  , Riyanto F.X. Eko Armada
Published: August 2023

This paper focuses on deepening the theme of dialogic society within the framework of building communitarian character in the Indonesian nation's political education. The method used in this writing is the method of literature by using the book Philosophy of Politics and Relationality by Armada Riyanto. The author's argument discusses dialogically in the context of young Indonesians. Today's young people are faced with developments in technology and communication. Various means can be used to interact with each other. However, sometimes young people fall into miscommunication with others. In other words, young people fall into individuality and neglect living together. Living together or community has an important role for the growth and development of the young people themselves. For that, young people need to build their communitarian character within themselves. The writer finds that there are still young people who often spend their time in their own room or space. In addition, the author also sees that the deepening of the theme of dialogue society in young people brings fresh air to their lives and the surrounding community.
LA PREDICCIÓN IN SILICO DETERMINA LA PRESENCIA DE EPÍTOPOS INMUNOGÉNICOS ALTAMENTE ESPECÍFICOS EN FRAGMENTOS DE LA PROTEÍNA DE LA MEMBRANA POLIMÓRFICA (PMP17G) DE Chlamydia abortus
Authors: De Jesús Aldama Fernando , Montes de Oca Jiménez Roberto , Arellano Reynoso Beatriz
Published: August 2023

Background. Ovine Enzootic Abortion is a contagious infectious disease caused by a Gram negative and obligate intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia abortus. For field diagnosis, commercial serological tests are used; however, some of these tests show low sensitivity and specificity rates, due to the cross-reactions that the antigens used have against other pathogens. For the most accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to develop tests with more specific antigens such as polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmp's), that allow to determine the presence of specific epitopes using new technologies. Objective. To determine in silico the presence of epitopes with specific immunogenic potential against Chlamydia abortus of two fragments of the PMP17G protein. Methodology. The cloning and sequencing of the fragments was carried out from a field isolate of Chlamydia abortus, and from the analysis of these sequences, with the help of two bioinformatics software’s. Results. Several epitopes from Chlamydia abortus were found, rPOMP90-3 (eight epitopes) and rPOMP90-4 (one epitope). Implications. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that both fragments of the protein have the capacity to activate the immune system, which would be useful for the development of diagnostic kits and immunogens. Conclusions. The in silico analysis allowed to efficiently predict and identify specific epitopes against Chlamydia abortus in both fragments of the protein.

Published: August 2023

Background. No previous records of Tosale oviplagalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) as an agricultural pest have been found. In Peru, the Chinchao area is part of the conservation area of the Carpish Montane Regional Forest, currently an expansion area for passion fruit (Passiflora ligularis Juss) cultivation and is home to endemic insect species that can access new food resources in the areas with crops. of cultivation. In 2019, the first reports of damage to granadilla fruits caused by these insects emerged. Objective. To register T. oviplagalis species for the first time as an agricultural pest in granadilla fruits and to showe its damage. Methodology. The larvae of the species were collected together with the immature damaged fruits of granadilla between the months of February and August of the year 2019, in the Chinchao-Huánuco-Peru area located between 2110 to 3690 masl; Subsequently, the breeding in the laboratory and the respective identification were carried out. Damage observations and descriptions were made in the field and in the laboratory. Results. In the larval state, the insect pierces the fruits, enters and feeds on the internal part of the epicarp, on its way it forms tunnels under the epidermis and usually takes refuge internally in the insertion of the peduncle, they complete their development and in the last stage occupying the same entrance orifice, they abandon the fruit, letting themselves fall to the ground to pupate. Implications. The study presents new information on the pest habits of the species T. oviplagalis. Conclusions. The species T. oviplagalis is recorded for the first time as a pest on the fruits of granadilla (P. ligularis). It was possible to show its damage, at the beginning with a small hole in the fruit through which the larval entered, completely deteriorated fruits and the complete development of the larva within the damaged fruit.
TRADE-OFFS IN TREE SPECIES SELECTION AND CARBON OFFSET ON FARMS ADJACENT TO KAKAMEGA-NANDI FOREST ECOSYSTEM IN KENYA

Published: August 2023

Background: Growing of trees on-farms has contributed significantly in easing pressure on the Kakamega–Nandi Forest Ecosystem. There are however concerns that Eucalyptus species is becoming the dominant tree in this landscape and may have adverse effects on the environment. Objectives: To determine the trade-offs in tree species selection and carbon offsets on farms in the margins of the Kakamega - Nandi Forest Ecosystem. Methodology: It employed a nested experimental design where the study area was divided into three 3x1 km sentinel blocks. Three different landscape models were chosen: Eucalyptus dominated tree stand, mixed tree stands and pure native tree stands. A sample plot comprised a main plot of 20m by 10m plot for measuring trees with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 10 cm, a sub-plot of 10m by 5m nested within the main plot for measuring saplings and shrubs of DBH less than 10cm. Data was collected on tree species type, stem DBH for trees, tree height, counts of trees, saplings and shrubs. The data was subjected to both exploratory and inferential statistical analysis using R Gui Version 4.2.1. Woody species diversity and carbon stocks were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 5% significance level. Results: Native dominated tree stands had the highest biomass carbon (0.50-512.84 MgC ha-1) followed by mixed tree stands (0.10-110.82 MgC ha-1). Eucalyptus dominated was the least (0.10- 68.58 MgC ha-1) The above ground biomass in the Eucalyptus dominated tree stands and mixed trees stands was significantly lower than in the adjacent native trees stands (p=0.001). The mean carbon estimated in the treatments was 2.62 MgC ha-1 in the Eucalyptus trees dominated stands, 3.09 MgC ha-1 in mixed trees species stands and 19.05 MgC ha-1 in native tree species stand. Implications: Increase in the concentration of Eucalyptus trees led to a reduction in tree diversity. Trees in the Eucalyptus dominated tree stand and mixed trees stand had significantly lower stem diameters, basal area and tree biomass than in the adjacent indigenous trees stand. The fast rate of growth of Eucalyptus trees may have ensured that the trees grow fast at the expense of other woody species due to water and nutrient competition. Conclusion: The study revealed a general trend of increasing biomass carbon with increasing tree size in all the treatments. The majority of large trees were found in native tree stand indicating that they store majority of biomass carbon stocks. Across the treatment, carbon sequestration in the trees was directly related to above ground biomass production.

Authors: Martínez-Martínez Sandra Yarenssy , Arzate-Fernández Amaury Martín , Hernández-Solis Monserrath , Acosta-Villagran Laura
Published: August 2023

Background. Agaves are an important economic source in industrial products, in the food and pharmaceutical industry, steroidal animal feed, ornamental plants and as a material for biofuels. Despite their economic importance, some species present problems in their conventional propagation, which makes their reproduction difficult and has caused some species to be in some risk category. Therefore, there is a need to develop efficient protocols for in vitro micropropagation via somatic embryogenesis. The positive effect of the application of exogenous putrescine on the maturation and germination of somatic embryos is known. Objective. To determine the effect of exogenous putrescine on the maturation and germination of somatic embryos of A. cupreata and A. angustifolia. Methodology. Two concentrations of putrescine (100 and 150 mg/L) and two controls, one positive and one negative, were evaluated in the somatic embryo maturation medium and later in the germination of somatic embryos. Results. Putrescine favors the maturation and germination of somatic embryos in both species. Implications. The results of this research contribute to a better understanding of the process of somatic embryogenesis and open the possibility of applying putrescine in the process of somatic embryogenesis at a commercial level. Conclusion. Exogenous putrescine in culture medium significantly improves the maturation and germination of somatic embryos in Agave.

What Are Employers Looking For When Hiring Separation Scientists?
Authors: McGregor Caroline , Pennington Justin
Published: August 2023

Per the U.S. National Academies of Science (NAS) 2019 report “A Research Agenda for Transforming Separation Science,” the number of America’s academic positions in separation science has decreased considerably in recent years, with a number of universities choosing to stop hiring faculty in this area. Specifically, since 1987 (the year of the previous NAS report on this field), the number of faculty members readily identifiable as “separations researchers” has dropped by 40% in the top chemistry departments, and by 30% in the top chemical engineering departments. At the same time, national government funding organizations (such as the National Science Foundation [NSF]) have significantly reduced funding for separation science. All this occurs despite the continuing demand for separation scientists and engineers in the largest economic sectors of the United States. LCGC North America spoke to Caroline McGregor and Justin Pennington of Merck Research Laboratories regarding the effects of the aforementioned occurrences on their firm’s hiring practices, and what employers in general are looking for in candidates they are considering for open separation scientist positions.
Length-Weight Relationship and Condition Factor of Porogobius schlegelii and Bathygobius soporator from Buguma Creek, Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: O. M. G. Abu, , O. T. Lazarus, , R. T. Nwalewe,
Published: August 2023

The present study investigated the length-weight relationship and condition factor of two fish species Bathygobius soporator and Porogobius schlegelii, in Buguma Creek. Over a three-month period (March – May 2018), 2000 different size fish samples each of B. soporator (1000) and P. schlegelii (1000) were collected by artisanal fishermen in Buguma Creek. The study collected total length and total weight data using a meter ruler and a digitally sensitive scale (Sartorius Model H987) for each species allowing determination of the growth exponent(b), coefficient of determination (r2) and mean condition factor values for the fish species. The study found that B. soporator ranged in total length from 7.00 to 18.80cm and from 2.00 to 14.70g, while P. shlegelli measured 4.50 to 11.50cm and weighed 1.30 to 7.10g. The growth exponent (b) ranged from 1.77 to 2.64 for B. soporator and 1.26 to 2.41 for P. schlegelli, indicating a negative allometric growth pattern for the two species, while the r2 values for B. soporator ranged between 0.61 and 0.89 and for P. schlegelli between 0.52 and 0.81 in Buguma Creek. The mean condition factor values for B. soporator ranged from 0.88 to 1.51, while for P. schlegelli it ranged from 0.38 to 0.39, suggesting that B. soporator had a higher condition factor than P. schlegelli, indicating better health and body condition for B. soporator and raising concern for the health of the P. schlegelli population in Buguma Creek. There is therefore an urgent need to establish conservation areas or fishing restrictions to allow the P. schlegelli fish population to recover and maintain a healthy population of the creek.

The use of nanoparticles is critical in a number of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. Iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) are one of the main sources of plant nutrition because they are effective in releasing a variety of pH values. To study the effect of different concentrations of Fe NPs (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 ml/l) on the regeneration and rooting of Bartamoda cv. date palm, as well as to ascertain the content of carbohydrates and chlorophyll in shoots, an experiment was conducted at the Central Laboratory for Research and Development of Date Palm, Agricultural Research Center Giza, Egypt. Adding treatments of Fe NPs at 1.0 and 2.0 ml/l to MS medium containing BA at 2.0 mg/l and NAA at 0.5 mg/l significantly enhanced growth (number of shoots/cluster, number of leaves/cluster, and leaf length), according to Results. MS medium supplemented with NAA at 1.0 mg/l and Fe NPs at 1.0 ml/l showed the highest rooting percentage (89.0%). Treating the shoots with varying doses of iron nanoparticles led to a significantly higher iron content compared to the untreated control shoots. The carbohydrate content improved steadily and significantly with increasing Fe NP concentration. Compared with the control group, treatments with Fe NPs at 1.0 and 2.0 ml/l enhanced the levels of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids.

Through the use of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) profiles, the somaclonal variation in shoots that can be caused by Fe NPs during the multiplication stage was examined. To amplify DNA from various shoots, seven random 10-mer primers were applied. The shoots' RAPD patterns matched those of the original plant mother, proving that Fe NPs did not cause somaclonal variation that could be seen using the RAPD method.

Let $X\subset \PP^r$ be an integral projective variety. We study the dimensions of the joins of several copies of the osculating varieties $J(X,m)$ of $X$. Our methods are general, but we give a full description in all cases only if $X$ is a linearly normal embedding of $\PP^1\times \PP^1$. For these embeddings of $\PP^1\times \PP^1$ we give several examples and then study the joins of one copy of $J(X,m)$ and an arbitrary number of copies of $X$.

En el curso de la reorganización y catalogación del material de Lepidoptera que se encuentran depositados en las colecciones de Entomología del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN), en Madrid (España), con el nombre de “exótico”, hemos revisado dos especies del género Euchromia Hübner, [1819] 1816, de la Guinea Española, procedentes de las exploraciones realizadas por diferentes científicos españoles. La Guinea Española por entonces se encontraba dividida en dos provincias desde 1959, a saber: la de Fernando Poo, con las islas de Fernando Poo y Annobón y la de Río Muni, con el territorio continental de Río Muni y las islas de Corisco, Elobey Grande y Elobey Chico, pasando a ser un país independiente en 1968 tomando el nombre de República de Guinea Ecuatorial.De acuerdo con nuestras investigaciones, dos especies de este género se encuentran en Guinea Ecuatorial, Euchromia guineensis (Fabricius, 1775) y E. lethe (Fabricius, 1775). En este trabajo hacemos una revisión de su distribución y realizamos un estudio de la genitalia del macho y de la hembra.

Authors: Yang Q.-L. , Zeng Y. , Yang Y. , Du X.-C.
Published: August 2023

Butterflies, as environmental indicators, can act as representatives for less well-monitored insect groups. In this study, a field survey was conducted in five fixed-distance belt transects during three years. Four indices were used to indicate the butterfly diversity. A total of 3004 individuals of 151 species belonging to 82 genera in 6 families were recorded in the survey. Among them, 67 species were recorded in Simian Mountain for the first time, and Celastrina argiolus (Linnaeus, 1758) was the dominant species; Nymphalidae was the dominant family. Among the five habitats, the species diversity of butterfly in Sample V was the highest, closely followed by that in Sample I in which ecological environment was relatively intact; and the diversity of butterfly in Sample IV, in which humaninterference was strong, was least. According to our research, the butterfly diversity in habitats with better ecological environments was higher; while the butterfly diversity in habitats with the most intact ecological environment was not the highest; strong human interference could significantly decrease the diversity of butterfly.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of non-surgical periodontal therapy using injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (iPRF).
Materials and Methods: In the present study, analyzed the results of treatment in 82(43 men and 39 women, aged 36 to 63 years) patients in the period from 2018 to 2023 years with periodontitis stages I–II were included. The following clinical parameters were recorded at the beginning of the study (before and treatment), after 1 month (after iPRF therapy), at the end of the 3-month (after iPRF therapy). The diagnosis of periodontitis was established taking radiological signs of bone loss and indicators of bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), Clinical attachment level (CAL). All patients subjected to the complex periodontal treatment included supragingival and subgingival scaling and root debridement with an ultrasonic device, antibacterial therapy. After 4 weeks, only those patients underwent I-PRF therapy who maintained optimal oral hygiene. I PRF was injected into the gum area. The number of plasma-based sessions is strictly individual and depends on the severity of the inflammatory process (4-6 sessions break between sessions 1 week).
Results: The postoperative periods in all patients passed without complications, there were no serious intraoperative or immediate postoperative complications. After a course of I-PRF therapy, patients noted elimination of pain, bleeding and swelling of the gums, tooth mobility became less bad breath disappeared, loss of bone tissue stopped. The first changes in the gums are noticeable on the 7th-10th day. The clinical picture and diagnostic parameters were comparable at baseline and after treatment. The clinical periodontal parameters (BOP, PPD, CAL) were shown a reduction in their mean values after 3 months from the treatment with the PRP, with a highly significant difference no complications had been observed.
The mean value BOP before treatment was 2.6 ± 0.32, after 1month treatment the mean BOP 1.8 ± 0.2, after 3 months treatment the mean BOP 1.4 ± 0.15. The mean value PPD before treatment was 5.41 ± 0.77 mm, 1 month after therapy it was 4,27 ±0.38 mm and 3 month after therapy it was 2.46 ± 0.42 mm. The mean value CAL before treatment was 5.84 ± 0.79 mm, 1 month after therapy it was was 4.92 ± 0.71 mm. and 3 months after therapy it was 3,4 ± 0,7 mm.
Conclusion: This study confirmed that iPRF periodontal therapy can be successfully used in patients diagnosed with I-II periodontitis who have received individualization supportive periodontal therapy and regular periodontal maintenance. The use of iPRF in periodontal therapy represents a valuable minimally invasive adjunct to complex conservative therapy.
