CRISPR-Cas systems in oral bacteria and their role in periodontal disease pathogenesis and periodontal therapy: a review
Authors: Chopra Aditi , Bhuvangiri Geeta , Natu Kshitija
Published: June 2023

‘Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats’ (CRISPRs)
are DNA sequences that can remove, edit or manipulate a genome sequence
by either activating or inhibiting a specific gene sequence in the host.
CRISPR along with Cas genes forms the CRISPR-Cas systems. CRISPR-Cas are
found in many oral bacteria, whereby they influence the physiology,
metabolism, and defense of the bacteria. CRISPR-Cas-gene produces
specific endonucleases that act like molecular scissors, that are
capable of excising a DNA strand. Oral microbes utilize CRISPR-Cas
systems for acquiring nutrients, communication (quorum sensing),
invasion, evading the host immune response, horizontal gene transfers,
biofilm formation, and antimicrobial resistance. CRISPR-Cas genes play a
crucial role in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases as they can
modulate the host immune and inflammation response. This revolutionary
technology can be employed in precision periodontal therapy. This review
aims to discuss the types of CRISPR genes in oral microbiota, their
mechanisms, and how they can be employed for managing periodontal
disease pathogenicity and periodontal therapy.
The Effects of Thymoquinone and Vibration Forces on Rapid Palatal Expansion Relapse in Experimental Rat Models
Authors: Zincir Dr. Özge Özdal , Bozkurt Dr. Aylin Paşaoğlu , Emincik Dr. Aslı
Published: June 2023

Objective: The rapid palatal expansion (RPE) procedure is a
frequently used treatment for malocclusion before pubertal growth.
However, relapses often occur after the retention period of this
procedure. In this study, we aimed to eliminate this deficiency,
considering that there would be a deficiency in the new bone metabolism
in the expanded area between the palatal sutures. Design:
Twenty-four male Wistar rats, 7-8 weeks old, with an average weight of
200 g, were divided into 3 groups in equal numbers. 5 days of expansion
was applied to all groups with 50 g of force, then a retention period of
12 days was expected. While no application was made to the control group
(CG) during the retention period, mechanical vibration was applied to
the vibration group (VF) at a frequency of 111 Hz and the active
substance was applied to the thymoquinone group (TQ) at a dose of 10
mg/kg. Result: At the end of the retention period, all animals
were sacrificed and sections were taken from the premaxillary region and
histological evaluation was made in terms of osteoblast, osteoclast,
capillary numbers, amount of mineralized and fibrous areas. According to
the statistical analysis, TQ and VF showed more positive and similar
results than CG in terms of new bone formation for all histomorphometric
parameters except osteoclast numbers in the comparison of parameters in
all groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: The new bone
stimulation effects of non-invasive vibration force and Thymoquinone
applications and ease of use can prevent relapse in the RPE.

Published: June 2023

Enhancing the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is one of the
prime concerns of researchers worldwide. For PSC devices, it is
essential to develop the individual layer efficiently and
cost-effectively. This work emphasizes the possibility of employing
Zn-Sn oxide-based composite materials as an alternative electron
transport layer (ETL) in PSC devices. Pristine Zn SnO
(ZTO), composite ZTO-ZnO, and ZTO-SnO
heterostructure-based ETL were prepared by simple
solid-state calcination technique and proposed as an alternative for the
TiO photoanode used in the PSC devices. The power
conversion efficiency of the designed PSC was studied based on
crystallinity, morphology, cross-section, roughness, contact angle, work
function, and Raman analysis of the ETL material. TEM analysis confirms
the phase pure ZTO and heterostructure formation as a function of
material stoichiometry. Compared to the pristine ZTO, the ZTO-ZnO and
ZTO-SnO composites have an enhanced PSC performance.
The ZTO-SnO composites exhibit better band matching
and charge transfer behavior with the perovskite layer than the pristine
ZTO and ZTO-ZnO composites. ZTO-SnO ETL-based PSC
device displays a maximum efficiency of 15.6 %, while ZTO-ZnO shows a
maximum efficiency of 13.1 %, which is more than 10.5 % for the
pristine ZTO. The results indicate that Zn SnO
-based composites can be suitable for ETL in PSC device
fabrication.

Authors: González Miranda Jose Andrés
Published: June 2023

Durante la pandemia por COVID-19 se dio una acelerada virtualización de los procesos de atención psicológica en Costa Rica, en paralelo a la expansión en la regulación de esta modalidad por parte del Colegio de Profesionales en Psicología de Costa Rica. El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de identificar valoraciones de personas del gremio de profesionales en psicología de Costa Rica sobre sus habilidades terapéuticas y técnicas para ejercer psicoterapia clínica individual mediante las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) durante la Pandemia por COVID-19. Mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario autoadministrado en línea, se realizó un acercamiento al gremio, donde se consultó sobre las estrategias, herramientas y habilidades que puso en práctica para comenzar a utilizar las TIC en su ejercicio psicoterapéutico. Se obtuvieron experiencias muy importantes, aprendizajes sobre la marcha y, sobre todo, la ausencia de un consenso y claridad entre las personas profesionales en psicología sobre las buenas prácticas para el uso de esta modalidad. Como principal reflexión del proceso, se invita al gremio a ejercitar al máximo las habilidades de terapeuta, especialmente aquellas que quizá no resulten empleadas regularmente durante una consulta a distancia, como la observación y el examen clínico integral.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pre-hospital and in-hospital time-dependent performance measures of treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke - experience of a tertiary healthcare center
Authors: Macura Lana , Mikulan Rea , Padjen Visnja
Published: June 2023

Introduction/Objective. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has posed major challenges to the process of urgent care of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) that requires optimal and well-coordinated pre- and in-hospital chains in order to enable recanalization therapy commencement at the earliest possible opportunity. The objective of the study was to compare time-dependent performance measures and treatment results of patients with AIS hospitalized at a tertiary healthcare center before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. A retrospective analysis was performed on AIS patients treated with recanalization therapy at the Emergency Neurology Department of the University Clinical Centre of Serbia, during the March?June period of 2019, 2020, and 2021. Besides demographic and clinical characteristics, the following were calculated for each patient: time elapsed from stroke onset to hospital arrival (?onset-to-door?), time elapsed from hospitalization to the beginning of recanalization therapy (?door-to-needle?), and total time elapsed from symptoms? onset to treatment initiation (?onset-to-needle?). The patients? functional outcome was assessed after three months by using modified Rankin Scale score. Results. A total of 84 patients were included [25/2019, 30/2020, and 29/2021; (p = 0.512)]. No statistical significance was detected regarding the age, sex, severity of stroke symptoms at hospital admission, or the type of received recanalization therapy. Our study showed no statistical difference regarding time needed to reach the hospital (p = 0.441), ?door-to-needle? time (p = 0.549), nor overall times elapsed from symptoms? onset to therapy (p = 0.481) among three groups of patients. Furthermore, comparison of the patients? three-month functional outcomes did not show statistical significance (p = 0.922). Conclusion. The experience of this tertiary healthcare system has shown notable resilience to the sideeffects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The question of personal identity: Kant and Kantian perspectives
Authors: Micic Stefan
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we will be examining the question of personal identity in the
context of Immanuel Kant?s philosophy, as well as among contemporary Kantian
thinkers such as Christine Korsgaard. Our investigation will focus primarily
on those aspects of the issue that are relevant to moral philosophy. While
some may believe that personal identity is not a primary concern of
philosophy, or that it does not merit extensive discussion, we argue that it
is indeed a significant philosophical question, particularly in the context
of moral philosophy. Our inquiry will begin with Kant?s theoretical
philosophy, specifically his transcendental deduction of categories and his
treatment of paralogisms, as we aim to gain a deeper understanding of Kant?s
views on personal identity. Following our analysis of the relevant parts of
Kant?s work, we will then turn to the contemporary Kantian thinker Kristin
Korsgaard, who has offered critiques of Derek Parfit?s understanding of
personal identity.
Narcissistic configuration of the subject and actual work culture
Authors: Janicic Sonja
Published: June 2023

This text deals with the work culture characteristic of neoliberalism,
primarily with career and ?remote? work. The phenomena are approached from
the point of view of contemporary psychoanalytic doctrine, taking into
account the ideas of political philosophy. The structure of the ideal
subject of neoliberal capitalism is viewed from a developmental perspective.
The relationship between the authentic self and the career ?self? is
presented, in an attempt to better understand the dynamics of the
functioning of such a subject of the actuality. The potential consequences
of today?s prevailing work regimes on the dynamics of family life are also
considered. The dichotomy of public and private life is reexamined in the
context of the main theme of the work.

Cost Structure and Tax-Motivated Income Shifting
Authors: McGuire Sean T. , Rane Scott G. , Weaver Connie D.
Published: June 2023

We examine whether cost structure influences tax-motivated income shifting. We predict and find that U.S. multinational corporations (MNCs) with a less rigid cost structure engage in greater levels of tax-motivated income shifting relative to MNCs with a more rigid cost structure. This result is consistent with a less rigid cost structure providing greater flexibility to enable MNCs to take advantage of income-shifting opportunities. Further, we find that this relation is more pronounced when firms face greater costs in adjusting their operations, have less transfer pricing flexibility, and operate in a more uncertain environment. These results suggest that firms with less rigid cost structures possess the strategic operating and accounting flexibility necessary to take advantage of income-shifting opportunities. We provide evidence suggesting that a firm’s cost structure, a fundamental attribute of a firm’s business model, is a distinct and incrementally important determinant of tax-motivated income shifting.

Authors: Hernández Juan David , Spir María Alejandra , Payares Kelly , Posada Ana Maria , Salinas Fabio Alonso , Garcia Héctor Iván , Lugo-Agudelo Luz H.
Published: June 2023

Background and objective: In some cases, for the evaluation of the health status of patients it is not possible to obtain data directly from the patient. The objective of this study was to determine if the instruments that cannot be applied to the patient can be completed by a proxy.Methods: A systematic review of the literature was carried out and 20 studies were included. The instruments reviewed in this synthesis were: Short Form-36 (SF-36), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), WHODAS 2.0, Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Disability Rating Scale (DRS).Results: The levels of agreement between the responses of the patients and the proxies were good, mainly when evaluating HRQoL and functioning with the SF-36 and WHODAS 2.0 instruments, respectively, with a higher level of agreement in the more objective and observable domains such as physical functioning and lower level of agreement in less objective domains, such as emotional or affective status, and self-perception.Conclusion: In patients who cannot complete the different instruments, the use of a proxy can help avoid the omission of responses.
LAY ABSTRACTPeople with certain mental or neurological illnesses are often unable to answer questions about their health sta-tus, functional ability, or quality of life. In some cases, a relative or a person who knows the patient can fill out questionnaires to find out how affected he/she is, detect changes in his/her condition and even evaluate the response to the interventions performed. These people are known as proxies. This research sought to assess which questionnaires for measuring depression, anxiety, neurocognitive impairment, quality of life, function, or disability can be answered by a proxy, when patients cannot answer for themselves. For this, the medical literature published on this subject was reviewed. Twenty studies showing a good agreement between the responses of the patients and the proxies were found, especially in the assessment of quality of life and functional capacity. The use of a proxy can help avoid the omission of responses.

Education is an essential need for human character building. Education also can be one of the methods used to maintain the cultural heritage and national character of the young generation. However, the quality of education is needs to be considered in develop good nation. If the education is lack of quality, it makes negative affect for future generations, such as the emergence of the phenomenon of character degradation. This study aimed to identify character education values on Alice’s characterization in the children’s literature entitled Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll. The values of character education in this study formulated by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia (2017) which have five core values, they are religious, nationalist, independent, cooperative, and integrity. This study used descriptive qualitative approach by Miles and Huberman (1994) in an interactive model that is divided into four steps, namely data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The researcher found that there are 20 characters of Alice’s characterization that present direct and indirect; and there are 13-character education values from Alice’s characterization.
Improving Students' Science Achievement Through The Implementation of Project-Based Learning
Authors: Wiraprakasa I Ketut Gede Teguh
Published: June 2023

Science learning is said to be more meaningful if students are involved in various project activities and their achievements during the learning process are often associated with their critical thinking skills. In this regard, this paper aims to find out how science learning outcomes in terms of critical thinking skills are enhanced through the application of project-based learning. The research design used was a post-test only control group design with a total sample of 128 Grade V students of Cluster I in Buleleng District. Data collected through tests and analyzed using ANAVA two paths to determine the effect of learning models on science learning outcomes in terms of critical thinking skills and the interaction between learning models with critical thinking skills. The results of the analysis show that 1) there are significant differences in science learning outcomes between students who take project-based learning and students who use conventional learning models; 2) there is a significant interaction between the application of project-based learning models and critical thinking skills on the learning outcomes of Natural Sciences; 3) students with high critical thinking skills tend to show more significant results on improving learning outcomes. However, the results of this study are limited to the measurement of critical thinking skills so that further research is needed by paying attention to other mediator variables.

Authors: Anggreni N. K. Sri , Dibia I K.
Published: June 2023

The problem of this research is the variation in student social studies learning outcomes. There is a tendency caused by two factors: learning motivation as an internal factor and parenting as an external factor. This study analyzes parents' learning motivation and parenting styles on students' social studies learning outcomes. This type of research is Expo facto research. The population is 49 students. The population was taken using a saturated sample (study population). Data were collected using questionnaires and document recording. Data were analyzed by regression analysis technique. The prerequisite test for regression analysis and hypothesis testing uses simple regression, product-moment correlation, and multiple regression. The results showed a real and positive relationship between parenting styles and social studies learning outcomes. This was indicated because the R-count (0.449) > from r-table 5% = (0.233) was significant. Simultaneously, it was found that there was a relationship between learning motivation and parenting styles on social studies learning outcomes. It can be seen that r count 0.740 > r table 0.233 as well as based on the results of testing with the F test (simultaneously) with = 5% then it can be seen that the learning motivation and parenting styles of parents are simultaneously significantly related to social studies learning outcomes. The research implications are related to the second problem, namely the relationship between parenting styles and students' social studies learning outcomes.

Published: June 2023

Children still have difficulties with language. It is because the way children speak could be clearer. This research aims to create a storytelling method with the help of straw dolls to improve children's receptive language development. This type of research is an R&D method. The research subjects consisted of 2 media experts and one material expert, and 45 kindergarten children. The data collection techniques were interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. The data analysis technique used quantitative analysis. The results showed the validity test with n = 10 and a significance score of 5% with r table 0.632. The results obtained were declared valid because r count> r table. The validation test from material experts obtained an average score of 83.75% and 93.75%, including in the very feasible category. In contrast, linguists scored four which was in the very good category. Data analysis to test the effectiveness is shown in the results of the N-Gain calculation in the field test, as the experimental class obtained post-test results of 80.67 and 80.33, respectively. In contrast, for the control class, the post-test obtained a result of 56.00. The conclusion shows that the development of storytelling methods with the help of straw dolls to improve children's language skills in kindergarten is feasible and effective in improving children's language skills. The implications of this research are expected to help teachers improve children's language skills through learning media.

Published: June 2023

The learning process does not lead to character education, so the child's character needs to be improved. The lack of interesting learning media development is because teachers use monotonous learning media. There are no learning innovations that can attract children's interest. This research aims to create interesting storytelling media using corn husks to build children's character to be better and have good morals. This type of research is R & D research, with this research method referring to the theory of Borg and Gall, which consists of ten steps of research implementation. Research subjects with 15 students as the experimental and five as the control classes. Data collection techniques used were interviews, observation, and questionnaires. The analysis used in this research is quantitative and qualitative. The results of developing media using corn husks through storytelling techniques based on the validation of material experts and media experts are feasible for building polite, honest, and disciplined characters in children. Media development using corn husks through effective storytelling techniques is used to build polite, honest, and disciplined characters in Kindergarten Group B children with a t-test of 21,189 and a t-table of 4,381 or 21,189 more than 4,381. At the same time, the N-Gain score is 71 in the effective category.

Authors: Candia García Filiberto
Published: June 2023

Este estudio de caso argumenta el uso de la educación a distancia en línea como una alternativa emergente para enfrentar el confinamiento educativo generado por la pandemia COVID-19, que obligó a los académicos de las Instituciones de Educación Superior en modalidad presencial a transitar al mundo digital sin contar con las competencias digitales pertinentes. El objetivo de este estudio es reconocer si los docentes cuentan con las recomendaciones de la UNESCO sobre competencias digitales y realizar una autoevaluación de un grupo de estudiantes de nivel posgrado sobre el dominio de las competencias digitales y de la dimensión pedagógica necesarias para enfrentar el reto del confinamiento académico. La metodología utilizada es cualitativa y la población de estudio está conformada por un grupo de diez estudiantes de nivel maestría en el área de Innovación Educativa. Se emplea la heurística como medio de participación directa para conocer las experiencias de los estudiantes y se lleva a cabo a través de la pedagogía de la pregunta. Los resultados se presentan en forma de porcentaje, que define el grado de dominio de las competencias digitales recomendadas en 2008 y de las competencias y estándares de las TIC desde la dimensión pedagógica en 2016. Se concluye que hasta el momento de la aplicación del instrumento de evaluación, el grupo de estudio desconoce el dominio de las competencias digitales y de la dimensión pedagógica necesarias. Asimismo, se observa que el uso de este diagnóstico mejora la calidad educativa en el diseño emergente de los cursos en modalidad a distancia en línea.

Authors: Widagdo The Maria Meiwati , Pudjohartono Maria Fransiska
Published: June 2023

Access to education remains a challenge for children with disability. In Indonesia, families can choose to send children with disability to either inclusive or specialized schools. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the choice of sending children with disability to inclusive or special schools and factors linked to school dropout. Caregivers of children with disability in Java, Indonesia were interviewed to collect data on enrolment in school, sex and age of the children with disability, type of disability, parents’ age and education, and independence of children with disability. The characteristics of children with disability studying in inclusive and special schools were compared. Logistic multivariate linear regression was done to analyze factors related to the choice of school. Data from 281 children with disability were analyzed: 175 (62.3%) of the school-aged children with disability were actively studying at school, with 84.57% studying in inclusive schools and 15.43% in special schools. Children’s age, independence in daily activities, and ability to learn and play are factors that affect parents’ choice of educational placement for children with disability. Children’s age and mothers’ age are variables influencing children with disability to drop out.
The Effectiveness of Politeness Achievements on Students’ Academic performance
Authors: Zannrni Imadin M. , Shareef Laila B.
Published: June 2023

A way to be polite is to be polite. It is a wonderful quality. It demonstrates discipline. It means treating other people with consideration and respect. Each individual needs to hear beneficial things and see great ways of behaving towards themselves. As a result, it's critical to treat others with respect and kindness. Being polite is more than just saying nice things to other people; it also includes how we treat the animals and environment around us. For the most part, individuals show graciousness to senior faculty, this is a perilous pattern in a humanized world. Politeness is a sensitive topic, but till now there are no studies focusing on the politeness. The current study focuses on the politeness of the students at the Iraqi universities.  It is a qualitative study since it conducted a number of in-depth interviews with both lecturers and students. The results show that politeness does play a role in the academic performance of the students.
Bruno Latour and Peculiar Structure of the First Scientific Revolution
Authors: Burganova Tanzilia A. , Nugayev Rinat
Published: June 2023

Bruno Latour’s distinctive historiographic standpoint on the origins of scientific revolutions and the multifarious accounts of their reconstructions are elicited. It is contended that, in spite of their highly iconoclastic character, Latour’s views can be welcomed for their innovative approach to the inquiries of social facets of science. In particular, they can elucidate the foundations of the lucid mature theory change model proffered in our preceding writings. Correspondingly, the Copernican Revolution is envisaged in the wayward context of intense interaction and interpenetration of Aristotelean and Ptolemaic sophisticated research practices. Eventually, the Aristotle – Ptolemy pagan cosmology could not help but be exposed to repeated cogent attacks during the Middle Ages since it apparently confronted the renowned principles of monotheism, not admitting the impervious demarcation line between the celestial and mundane realms. All the opposite worlds should have one and the same Creator. Commencing with the unification, Copernicus, in effect, paved the way for the descent of mathematics from Heaven to Earth and the spread of natural philosophy from Earth to Heaven.
Separating “Things” from “Objects” for the History of Opium Addiction
Authors: Chen Xianle
Published: June 2023

Latour’s endeavor to unite the dichotomic categorizations of “objects” and “things” in the ANT-based reality has inherent limitations. Therefore, the author undertakes three enterprises. First, with the theoretical reinforcements of realist philosophy, we shall appreciate why “things” and “objects” cannot be treated as two related manifestations of the same entity. Second, by exemplifying the Victorian history of medicalized opium addiction, this article suggests a divorce of the “humanistic things” from the “nonhuman objects” through which ANT (actor-network theory) is refined by moral externalism and interaction theory to explain the about-face of British drug values. Third, the epistemological argument of how the de-unification of “things” and “objects” in ANT can facilitate us to combat the “invasions” of what Latour vehemently called the “conspiracy theorists” is explicated. Taken together, the take-home message is that the ontology of an ANT-based reality is not about contextually integrating things with objects, but about distinguishing facts from concepts.
Bruno Latour and Actor-Network-Anthropocene
Authors: Mahaswa Rangga
Published: June 2023

Bruno Latour (1947-2022) was a prominent philosopher who critically interpreted the Anthropocene discourse. In this article, I highlight the impact of his legacy, particularly in political and philosophical Anthropocene debates. I attempt to position Latour’s critical philosophical thinking legacy within the framework of Anthropocene debates. Bruno Latour has a strong position in explaining current Anthropocene issues, especially related to actor and network reposition, political Gaia, and criticism of the new climate change regime. However, despite the Anthropocene debate, I position Latour’s notion as an entry point to open up explanations concerning the ontology of Anthropocene that can begin by understanding Latour’s breakthroughs in the context of surpassing the metaphysical demarcation of subject/object by radicalizing pluralistic ontology. Instead of glorifying flat ontology, this article aims to emphasize the possibility of affirming the hybrid world of the Anthropocene by pluriversalizing the lifeworld.

It is proposed the description of the “circulatory system” (sensu Latour) of technoscience around COVID-19 - in particular regarding the development of vaccines and scientific evidence on treatment - as a didactic study case for Science Teaching, showing how current events can and should also be mobilized for the critical understanding of the Nature of Science in the classroom. From the description of the various actors involved in the COVID-19 event, we discuss how it is possible to articulate scientific knowledge and critical discussions about the Nature of Science to mobilize scientific literacy - that is, the mastery and internalization of a properly scientific way of reading the natural and social world, rejecting denialism and absolutism about a supposedly univocal and linear science. The goal of reaching scientific literacy can be developed by using the case study presented here, facilitating the articulation of these elements of science education through a contemporary episode. Thus, it is expected that the content and reasoning proposed in this paper can be used as a theoretical basis to be used in the classroom and can be adapted to a methodology that the teacher and students feel more comfortable with and to the educational context in question.
