Digital Literacy Assessment: Methodology, Conceptual Model and Measurement Tool
Authors: Авдеева Светлана , Тарасова Ксения
Published: June 2023

The development of new technologies, the extensive implementation of digital devices in all spheres of society contributed to the appearance of a new type of human literacy - digital literacy. Today, it ranks alongside other basic literacies such as numeracy, writing, and reading. Digital literacy has become an indicator to the new conditions of life, involving the use of digital technologies in education, family and professional activities; to some extent, it has become an indicator of the socialization of a modern person.

Based on the analysis of international approaches to the assessment of digital literacy and related constructs, a conceptual model of its measurement is proposed, in which digital literacy is considered as a complex latent construct.

The process of developing digital literacy assessment tools based on the Principled Assessment Design paradigm and the Evidence-Centered Design method is presented. 

An analysis of the results of digital literacy studies of students in grades 7-8 made it possible to confirm the quality of the developed tools for measuring digital literacy based on authentic performance-based tasks, to confirm the reliability and validity of the results of its measurement.
Converting ssDNA oligos to dsDNA with T4 DNA polymerase v2
Authors: N Nguyen Ba Alex
Published: June 2023

This protocol allows one to convert ssDNA to dsDNA oligos. In principle, one can buy two complementary oligos and anneal them. However, there are a few cases where randomized bases are desired, and therefore complementary oligos can not be ordered. The protocol works similarly to PCR, except that the reaction is not performed at the high temperature of typical thermocycling, because the oligos are short and their melting temperature can be in the order of the extension temperature of high-fidelity polymerases. This protocol is therefore particularly useful when creating barcodes or when short dsDNA fragments containing degenerate bases are desired.

We have tested this protocols with a range of primary brain samples, developing, postnatal and adult. We obtain clean nuclei, with least amount of ambient RNA. Using this protocol, we are able to remove most of the myelin from adolescent and adult samples, which generally interfere the nuclei counts before loading the 10X Controller. We have generated high quality GEX and ATAC-sequencing libraries with our samples from a range of ages, across different projects.
Public Administration Digitalization and Government Effectiveness in EU Countries
Authors: Androniceanu Armenia , Georgescu Irina
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study continues the series of previous research carried out by the authors on the digital transformation in EU countries. It aims to identify and analyse the progress made by EU administrations in terms of digitization and effective governance in the period 2019–2021. Design/methodology/approach: Based on selected variables from Eurostat and the World Bank databases, the article provides insights into the dynamic changes that occurred in the EU in the period under consideration. The research employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and K-means clustering as the primary research methods to analyse the variations and correlations among 10 numerical variables selected from Eurostat and World Bank databases.  Findings and Practical Implications: The results obtained through PCA show the impact of digitalization on government effectiveness. A comprehensive analysis of government effectiveness has been conducted using PCA, which reveals that the first two principal components account for 77.05% of the initial variance. A K-means clustering with four clusters reveals that the most significant and noteworthy increase in digitalization and government effectiveness in the EU is achieved by the Nordic countries, which exhibit high levels of digitalization and government efficiency. Originality: In this ranking, clusters 2 and 3 comprise well-developed countries with a positive relation between governmental digitalization and efficiency, while cluster 4 consists of emerging countries where the correlation between digitization and governmental efficiency is low or very low, which is primarily attributed to the limited degree of digitization within government institutions.
Pengkomersialan Tanaman Kelapa di Selangor Sebelum Tahun 1940
Authors: Mohd Rosli Mohamad Khairul Anuar
Published: June 2023

The first half of the 20th century witnessed the rise and development of coconut cultivation in Selangor as an export-oriented agricultural sector. Selangor was among the most productive states in coconut produce and contributed to the quantity of coconut exports in Malaya. By the end of the 19th century, coconut product saw an encouraging increase in demands in the international market as European countries began to turn to coconut as raw material for manufacture and food. Noting the potential of coconut as an export commodity with economic value, the British paid particular attention to efforts to commercialise its cultivation. Therefore, this study aims to study the strategies of coconut commercialisation in Selangor, and to analyse its implications on the development of the coconut cultivation sector before 1940. To explain this question, this study uses the qualitative and library research methods by referring to the Selangor Secretariat Files, the Selangor Annual Reports, and the records from the Agriculture Department. The research findings show the special strategies involving aspects of governance, legislation, and land ownership implemented to commercialise coconut cultivation has transformed the pattern of development of the coconut cultivation sector, from a food crop to an export commodity-producing commercial crop. The large-scale coconut production led to the emergence of coconut-based industries with products such as coconut oil and dried coconut (copra) to be exported as raw material to meet the demands in the international market.

A Mata Atlântica é o bioma mais rico em biodiversidade de plantas do planeta. Nas últimas décadas as cidades cresceram desordenadamente, levando ao processo de urbanização sem planejamento e, consequentemente, ao desmatamento desse bioma. O município de João Pessoa está inserido nesse bioma e tem ciência da relevância e dos riscos que ele corre, e nesse sentido realiza no Viveiro Municipal de Plantas Nativas (VMPN) da cidade, a produção de mudas. Sabendo-se disso, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a produção das mudas nativas deste viveiro. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise documental dos relatórios de produção anual do órgão municipal estudado e a revisão da literatura dos temas referentes à identificação e classificação das plantas. Foi apurada a quantidade e diversidade da produção de mudas no VMPN. A produção foi classificada em três grupos: bioma da Mata Atlântica, bioma da Caatinga e plantas exóticas, distribuídas em 22 famílias, que abrangem 50 espécies. A família Bignoniaceae foi a que teve o maior número de mudas produzidas; e a família que apresentou mais diversidade de espécies foi a Fabaceae. O ano de 2019 teve a maior produção entre os anos analisados, enquanto que no ano de 2020 foi o de menor produção de mudas. O VMPN teve como produção total 124.273 plantas produzidas ao longo dos quatro anos estudados, dentre eles 69% da produção total do Viveiro Municipal de Plantas Nativas foram da Mata Atlântica.
J. B. ZALESKI’S INTERPRETATION OF UKRAINIAN HISTORY (BASED ON THE POEM «TRAKHTEMYRIV MONASTERY»)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Slipchuk Daryna
Published: June 2023

The key figure in the plot of the little-known rhapsody «Trakhtemyriv monastery» is the Cossack hetman Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny. The article deals with analysis of the historical accuracy of events and figures introduced in the plot of rhapsody, particularly about Sahaidachny. A chronological error associated with the years of life of the above-mentioned Cossack hetman is revealed with the help of topological and chronological localization the event and its date, which is not named in the text directly, and the reconstruction of the historical basis of the poem. A detailed study of the biography revealed that Sahaidachny could not have been their contemporary, as objective history claims him dead by that day. In addition, the research revealed some unconfirmed facts, which, however, could serve the artistic expression and symbolism of the poem, including the participation of Maksym Kryvonis and the unidentified leader of the Tatar troops. Finally, on the basis of Zaleski’s biographical information and other activities, it was suggested that the non-observance of historical authenticity was not a mistake, but a conscious creative conjecture associated with the romantic mythologizing of the historical figure, particularly in order to reinforce his political beliefs and vision of a common past, free of enmity. The article presents arguments in favor of deliberate creative conjecture: the idea of the work is introduced into the ideological context of the author, a parallel with the heritage of world literature is drawn. The urgency and novelty of the research is explained by giving the answer to the question about creative conjecture, which will shed light on the Polish understanding of the historical processes of the neighboring state. It is proved that the choice of the Trakhtemyriv monastery as a place of action in the poem is not accidental. The convergence of the content of the remarks told by the hetman with Zaleski’s worldview is traced. The studied motif fits the concept of so-called “Polish Cossackofilia”, inherent for the “Ukrainian school”, and the image and symbolic content corresponds to the principles of Romantisism. In the conclusions the expediency of the poet’s use of the image of the hetman is substantiated and the symbolism of his presence, location and business is revealed.
THE WORLD PRIVACY PARADIGM IN THE WORKS OF UKRAINIAN POETS IN POLAND
Authors:   Lesia Ukrainka Volyn National University, Karabovych Tadeusz , Iaruczyk Viktor ,   Institute of Slavic Philology UMCS (Poland)
Published: June 2023

Ukrainian poets living in Poland, as part of the Ukrainian national minority, had a significant impact on the development of literary awareness in the Ukrainian environment in Poland. Thanks to literary contacts, especially in Podlasie, the literary language began to be used, because here Ukrainian poets initially wrote in the Ukrainian dialect of Podlasie. They also formulated the awareness of the literary language in prose works, which united the national code of Ukrainians belonging to the same nation, beyond religious divisions, Orthodox or Greek Catholics. In a comparative aspect, they became ambassadors of the Ukrainian word in their literary circles, their works were translated into Polish and published in Kiev, Lviv, Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities. When discussing the phenomenon of Ukrainian literature in Podlasie, it must be stated that it has undergone a major transformation of awareness from the Ukrainian-Belarusian dialect border (1970s) to its own Ukrainian literary language area, developing after 1990. This is especially true of the works of Ivan Kyryziuk, Yuri Hawryluk and Yevhenia Zhabinska. At the same time, for such writers as Sofiya Sachko or Yustyna Korolko, the reclassification to Ukrainian or Belarusian literature remains problematic. It would be optimal to say that both poets remain a part of a niche literary discourse undertaken by the Ukrainian dialect of the Bielsk Podlaski region, rooted in the issues of the borderland. In Ukrainian literature in Podlasie, an important role was played by the informal literary yearly “Nash Holos” edited in the 1980s. Its content shows the complex issues of awareness in Podlasie and the names of writers who did not go beyond the realities of the year at that time and are not widely known today. They left behind poems written in Ukrainian Podlasie dialect, valuable from the point of view of the history of literature in this area, often close to folk poetry or Ukrainian poetry from the 19th century, especially to the works of Taras Shevchenko.

A quantum model for the interaction of a collectivized conduction electron with a crystal field in a homogeneous and isotropic deformed polycrystalline sample, taking into account the spin-orbit interaction, is proposed. A dynamic equation of motion of the conduction electron spin in a stress-strained metal is obtained. It is shown that under conditions of inhomogeneous torsion in the stationary case, the average spin of conduction electrons is oriented predominantly along the current density vector. The maximum value of the spin-orbit interaction is observed when the torsion axis is orthogonal to the current density vector.

Sequential synthesis of rutile modification titanium oxide particles on reduced graphene oxide in supercritical isopropanol is described. In this case, only graphene oxide was reduced to reduced graphene oxide. A one-stage method (one-pot) was also developed for the preparation of rutile particles on reduced graphene oxide, where supercritical isopropanol was the graphene oxide reducing agent and the reaction medium. The resulting composites were studied using X-ray phase analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force spectroscopy methods.
Application of Chimeric Meshes for Explicit Accounting for Inhomogeneities in Modeling the Propagation of Elastic Waves
Authors:   Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Mitskovets Ivan A.
Published: June 2023

The method of chimeric meshes is applied to simulate the propagation of elastic perturbations in media containing porous and fractured inclusions. A model of a linearly elastic isotropic medium is considered, which describes the state of a geological rock. The grid-characteristic method with the third-order accurate Rusanov scheme is used for numerical modeling of the dynamic propagation of elastic disturbances. Special attention is paid to the presence of separate inclusions of pores or fractures, which introduce heterogeneity into the medium and can substantially influence the response of elastic disturbances. The use of the chimera grid method allows for both the position and shape of such inclusions to be described explicitly, taking into account their influence on the propagation of elastic disturbances. As a result of the conducted investigation, a methodology for numerical modeling of the propagation of elastic disturbances in media with porous and fractured inclusions was developed, which can be used to assess the influence of such inclusions on the dynamic response of elastic disturbances. The presented results can be applied in geophysical and seismic research related to modeling the dynamics of various processes in soils and rocks.
Computing machines, body and mind: metaphorical origins of mechanistic computationalism
Authors: Baryshnikov P. N.
Published: June 2023

The article presents preliminary results of the conceptual analysis of the mechanistic proﬁle of the computer metaphor. Mechanic reductionism is a special direction of computer metaphor rooted in various historical forms of word usage. Here we trace the stages of formation of the principles of transferring the properties of a mechanical computer to the properties of the human body and mind. We are also trying to identify the basic principles of semantic transfer, which have survived to this day in the discourse of modern computationalism. The reasons are analyzed due to which the metaphor «Human (body) is machine», traditional for the Modern Age, was transformed into a more complex version of «Mind is machine». What happened to the concepts of «mind» and «machine»? How have ideas about the properties of computational procedures changed? What keeps the counterintuitive computer metaphor viable today? The answers to this series of questions and theoretical ways of solving these problems are contained in this paper.
Ground-Motion Model for Hard-Rock Sites by Correction of Surface Recordings (Part 1): Comparison of Site-Response Estimates at KiK-Net Sites
Authors: Shible Hussein , Hollender Fabrice , Traversa Paola , Bard Pierre-Yves
Published: June 2023

Site-specific seismic hazard assessment involves the prior knowledge of (1) the input ground motion at the local bedrock and (2) the site response. In this article and its companion, we address the deconvolution approach to obtain a reference ground-motion model, which consists of removing site effects from surface ground-motion recordings. Laurendeau et al. (2018) applied this approach on the KiK-net network with site response from 1D SH-wave (1DSH) simulations, calculated using the VS profiles available for most sites. Indeed, this approach presents several limitations with 1DSH site response if it is considered to be applied to other networks, especially in the European context. First, the approach requires identification of sites with dominant 1D effects. Second, it needs the presence of accurately measured VS profiles. In this context, we propose to derive deconvolved ground-motion models using site response from generalized inversion techniques () for two main reasons. The first reason is that the GIT delivers empirical site response for all types of sites, conditioned by the presence of sufficient amount of data, and the second is that it reduces the need for VS profiles. We focus on the estimation of site effects from different approaches and present a methodology to obtain reliable site terms from GIT based on the experience from previous studies. We also introduce and detail the difference between absolute and relative site response, which mainly depends on the chosen reference. We estimate and compare site response for the KiK-net stations with different methods, that is, empirical and theoretical 1DSH. We also conclude a list of 1D sites based on comparisons between theoretical and empirical estimates of site response. The results obtained in this article will be the primary input for the deconvolution approach applied in the companion article.

Le llaman feminismo y no lo es
Authors: Miyares Alicia
Published: June 2023

Las teorías de la identidad y el deseo y el énfasis en la subjetividad constituyen una amenaza teórica y política para el feminismo porque están presentando como feminismo una agenda contraria a la agenda feminista. La mera triquiñuela de añadir una “s” a la palabra “feminismo” no debe engañarnos. No es feminismo y menos aún es inclusivo considerar la prostitución un trabajo, creer que la práctica del alquiler de vientres es solidaria y altruista, afirmar que la “identidad de género” se superpone al sexo, diluyendo así la desigualdad estructural que las mujeres padecemos por razón de sexo o suponer que legislar reduciendo penas en lo relativo a los delitos sexuales es la vía óptima para acabar con la violencia sexual. Esta agenda espuria y en nada feminista se sirve de trampas conceptuales que conviene analizar críticamente.
"Is It Okay That She is a Woman?"
Authors: Kazarinova Nadezhda , Kolianov Alexey , Strogetskaya Elena , Filippova Yulia
Published: June 2023

The article deals with Russian brainpower's perceptions of gender segregation in a technical university when training both IT-specialists and STEM professionals in general. The theoretical and methodological basis for interpreting the results of the empirical study are the main provisions of the theory of social representations, the concept of habitus and the concept of narrative identity. The assumption used as a research hypothesis is that gender “indifference” or neutrality, rather than gender discrimination, takes place in higher technical education in the Russian technical university. The analysis of the data obtained as a result of the study confirmed that there are gender professional distinctions in the group consciousness of brainpower. In Russian speech practice and culture, a thesaurus of non-binary perception of professional gender identity has not yet been formed. At the same time, there is a shift in perceptions of gender professional identity in IT towards gender “neutrality”, which allows us to expect a relatively “soft” transformation of social attitudes and adaptability of professional consciousness to changes in the perception of gender in IT.
Financial Literacy, Digital Financial Literacy and Women’s Economic Empowerment
Authors: Rahayu Rita , Juita Verni , Rahman Annisaa
Published: June 2023

There have many been studies on women’s economic empowerment (WEE), most related to financial literacy (FL). However, in this digital era marked by the emergence of Fintech, FL needs to be expanded into digital financial literacy (DFL), in making good financial decisions, especially regarding Fintech products. Hence, the study aims to investigate the influence of DFL and FL on WEE. In this study, 259 female respondents participated. Using the PLS Structural Equation Modelling, the study found that both DFL and FL had a positive and significant effect on WEE. However, further analysis found that DFL affects all 5 dimensions of WEE. Meanwhile, FL only affects 3 components of WEE. In addition, the results also show that DFL has a much greater influence on WEE compared to FL. These results prove that, in this digital era, FL is not sufficient for making good financial decisions, but more understanding is needed, especially related to digital literacy. These results are expected to provide a new understanding of the importance of the DFL variable in the study of WEE, as well as input for the Indonesian government to give more consideration to DFL in making policies related to WEE.

Published: June 2023

The post-pandemic era witnessed an upsurge in digital wallet usage. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to empirically examine the factors influencing the post-adoption intention of e-wallet users among Indian women and the digital divide across age groups. Validated questionnaires were used to collect data from female respondents across India. Path analysis using structural equation modelling was used to examine the driver of continuous intention for e-wallets, and the study demonstrates that user satisfaction and the perceived security and usefulness of e-wallets had a significant impact on post-adoption behaviour among women. Perceived confirmation, usefulness, and trust influence user satisfaction among women. However, contrary to expectations, the study found no significant difference in the continuous adoption behaviour of different age groups of urban women, indicating a lack of digital divide among urban women across age.
Non-Obvious Connections Between Information Literacy and Online Payments
Authors: Bestvina Bukvić Ivana , Đurđević Babić Ivana
Published: June 2023

The importance of information literacy in today’s digital world is increasingly emphasized. This is particularly evident in the context of using digital financial services. This article aims to investigate whether there is a relationship between information literacy and online payment preferences among a student population and whether there are gender differences in online payment habits. An online survey was conducted among students in Osijek examining information literacy and the types of goods they purchase and pay for through online financial services. Of the 408 respondents, the majority were female (86.27%), who were more likely to buy and pay for clothing, while men were most likely to make payments for particular features of video games. Differences were also found in the tendency to make online payments. Because no obvious linear relationships were found between reported information literacy and other variables, a neural network model with a multilayer perceptron (NN) architecture was developed to classify participants according to their reported information literacy level. The best overall classification accuracy of the NN was 73.17%. The NN and its sensitivity analysis revealed some hidden patterns that can help educational institutions develop information literacy and digital financial literacy programs for their students.

METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 19 dry eye patients (51.1±16.0y). Non-invasive tear break-up time, tear meniscus height, meibomian gland loss, lipid layer thickness, conjunctival redness, corneal staining, ocular surface disease index (OSDI), and ocular pain intensity were measured before (baseline), 1wk, and 2mo after lid scrubbing with a gel containing different natural extracts (okra extract, aloe vera leaf juice, hydrolysed soy protein, caffeine, citrus unshiu peel extract, and raspberry seed oil).
RESULTS: Compared with the baseline, there was a statistically significant improvement in both first (P=0.048) and average (P=0.026) non-invasive tear break-up time 2mo after treatment, as well as in corneal staining (P=0.043, 0.012), OSDI (P<0.001), and ocular pain intensity (P<0.001) after 1wk and 2mo. In addition, there was no correlation between ocular signs and symptoms.
CONCLUSION: The lid scrubbing with a gel combining different natural extracts show beneficial effects on tear film stability, corneal damage, and ocular symptoms, which is the reason why this therapeutic procedure is proposed as an alternative for dry eye management. However, it is not possible to attribute this beneficial effect solely to the presence of the natural extracts in the gel, primarily due to the absence of a negative control group.

AIM: To explore the relationship between ocular and systemic conditions and the impact of ocular complications on the quality of life (QOL) in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ALLO-HSCT).
METHODS: Forty-four patients with severe hematopoietic disease were enrolled after ALLO-HSCT at our center from July 2018 to October 2020. They completed two questionnaires: the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) and the quality-of-life scale for Chinese patients with visual impairment (SQOL-DV1). Ocular conditions and systemic conditions were also assessed.
RESULTS: Eye damage was correlated with total bilirubin (P=0.005), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) (P=0.021). There was no significant correlation between the overall QOL score and OSDI (P=0.8226) or SQOL-DV1 (P=0.9526) scores. The OSDI and the overall QOL score were not correlated with ocular conditions, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, Schirmer tear test II, sodium fluorescein staining, tear film breakup time, and tear meniscus height. SQOL-DV1 was correlated with BCVA (P=0.0007), sodium fluorescein staining (P=0.007), and tear film breakup time (P=0.0146).
CONCLUSION: In some patients, early ocular symptoms are not evident after ALLO-HSCT, while ocular surface complications can be observed after a comprehensive ophthalmological examination. Especially for those with elevated total bilirubin or GGT, regular ophthalmic follow-up visits are essential to diagnose and treat ocular graft versus host disease (oGVHD), especially for patients with elevated total bilirubin or GGT.
Law, literature and history- (no)apparent relations
Authors: Pilarczyk Piotr M.
Published: June 2023

The article presents the various types of relationships that occur between the inquiries of the Law and Literature Movement and history and historiography. Illustrated with examples, it proposes possibilities for both the application of historical research to law and literature, as well as ideas about what law and literature can offer historians. To this purpose, realistic and contemporary literature and historical fiction are treated separately. Finally, the article argues that familiarity with legal history in some cases is not necessary to analyze legal themes in literary works from past époques.
The Legal Oxymoron of Whiteness in “The Laws” Chapter of China Men by Maxine Hong Kingston
Authors: Szmańko Klara
Published: June 2023

The article centers on the legal construction of whiteness captured by Maxine Hong Kingston in “The Laws” chapter of China Men (1980), exposing the oxymoron of whiteness, which consists in its simultaneous gesturing towards universality and particularity. On the one hand, the laws passed by white Americans enabled them to cast whiteness as the self-proclaimed standard-bearer, the self-declared legal norm. On the other hand, this self-proclaimed norm rests on the principle of exclusivity and exclusion. Wielding a weapon of exclusion, white people have constructed a legally manufactured white identity that bars non-whites, in this case Chinese and other Asian immigrants from citizenship, economic resources, space, the “mainstream” American society and mainstream American culture. Kingston not only exposes anti-Chinese and anti-Asian legislation, but also shows Chinese immigrants’ responses to this legislation, their failed and successful attempts at countervailing various forms of exclusion and “exclusive” treatment they received.
The “Lying Intellect,” Imagination, and the “Other”
Authors: Deka Subhraleena
Published: June 2023

Imagination can be associated with the innocent capacity to contemplate on either non-existent or absent objects, which for some reason or another seem to be nonexistent in our immediate or actual surroundings. It enables us to escape the confines of instantaneous reality, thereby liberating us from the subjection to our immediate surroundings and transferring us to transient worlds in our minds, which are somewhat cut off from actuality. With respect to this suggested nature of the imagination, some may argue that the ultimate power of imagination lies in its ability to empower the subject with a profound sense of freedom, that is innately strong enough to break the limits of what is actual and what is real. While on a personal level, imagination gives one the ability to traverse bounds of immediate reality; on a macro/community level, imagination can be very toxic for some. This paper will look at different real and fictional literary examples, while journeying through Sartre, Husserl, Castoriadis and Ricouer’s ideas and theories of imagination, and, trying to map out the essential aspects of the needs and formations of identities of different marginal individuals/communities. Along side that, it will also try and connect the different ways of survival and perseverance that people find via imagination.

Self-efficacy is an individual's subjective assessment of their ability to effectively navigate and surmount obstacles and achieve desired outcomes. It is a key element of motivation and can be facilitated through experiential learning, skill mastery, and positive reinforcement. It can also be augmented through interventions and techniques. The purpose of this study is to explore and analyse the direction of self-efficacy research in the last ten years in Indonesia to show its novelty. The method of analysis used is content analysis. The sample used was articles published on googlescholar. The data was extracted based on a review of the title, method, and research results. The findings of this study state that self-efficacy has an influence on personal, academic, and career fields in the Indonesian literature. Methodologically, correlation and multiple regression techniques were the most widely used methods for establishing relationships. Self-efficacy research is expected to contribute to future researchers examining self-efficacy with other psychological aspects with different research methods
Plasma Therapy for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws- a Case Report
Authors: Sadrabad Maryam Jalili , Saberian Elham
Published: June 2023

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a side effect of anti-bone resorption medications. Nowadays antiresorptive medications like bisphosphonate and monoclonal antibodies like denosumab that have been prescribed for bone disorders and metastatic cancer are becoming increasingly common. Although these medications are quite efficient at reducing bone resorption, they can develop osteomyelitis and jaw necrosis as a side effect. A 65-year-old woman was referred to the Oral Medicine Department of Semnan University of Medical Sciences with diffuse bilateral mandibular osteonecrosis, with a history of osteopetrosis and under-treatment of bisphosphonate. This complication started after tooth extraction and without any healing 5 years ago. After 3 sessions of plasma therapy, obvious improvement was seen. A proper medical history and a routine oral examination before treating with any invasive dental treatment are necessary to avoid any medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw or mucosal abnormalities.

To this day, millions of people in the world have been diagnosed with corona virus 2019 (COVID-19). This disease cannot only lead to higher mortality rates among those with underlying Diabetes Mellitus (DM), but also may trigger DM in susceptible patients. Therefore, incidence of new-onset DM increased during the pandemic as a result; treatment of patients with diabetes and COVID-19 is important and needs further investigations. Here, we report a 27-year- old woman with past medical history of premature ovarian failure (POF) since14 years ago, who initially presented with severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) which was triggered by COVID-19 and later through her lab results hypoparathyroidism was also detected. She was treated for DKA and COVID-19 Infection concomitantly, and she was also diagnosed with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome due to her multiple autoimmune endocrine organ involvements.
