Deconstruction of the colonial discourse on the erpangir ku lau ritual in karo society
Authors: Sebayang Vanesia Amelia
Published: November 2019

Erpangir ku lau is a ritual of cleansing based on Hindu Pemena teachings. This ritual teaches the Karo people to maintain harmonious relations between humans, the forces of nature, and the Creator. However, in the Dutch colonial era, erpangir lau was stopped because it was part of the worship and the practice of magic. The method used in this article is a descriptive qualitative research method that uses theory as a basis. This qualitative descriptive design format embraces phenomenology and post-positivism. This study aims to describe, summarize the various situations or phenomena of social reality in a society that are the object of research, and try to pull that reality to the surface as a description of certain conditions, situations, or phenomena. The findings obtained are that the colonial influence still imprinted on the person of the Karo people even though the occupation had long since ended. Concerning the Dutch colonial discourse, it is necessary to carry out a deconstruction practice to reverse the Karo people's perspective on the erpangir ku lau rites.
The many faces of atypical haemolytic-uraemic syndrome: a diagnostic challenge
Authors: Chothia Mogamat-Yazied , Coetzee Liezel , Amirali Mazhar Hussein
Published: November 2019

Atypical haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare cause of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). The typical form occurs most frequently in children following infection with Shiga-like toxin-producing bacteria, whereas in the atypical form genetic mutations affecting complement regulatory proteins involved in the alternative complement pathway may be identified. The clinical features of aHUS may mimic other causes of TMA such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and malignant hypertension. We present a case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with a TMA and discuss the diagnostic challenges that were confronted due to the many overlapping clinical and laboratory features of the different causes of this syndrome. Clinicians should be aware of the varied clinical manifestations of TMAs to ensure early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment.
Top‐Cited Articles from Dental Education Journals, 2009 to 2018: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Ullah Rizwan , Adnan Samira , Afzal Azam S.
Published: November 2019

The number of citations an article receives is an important indicator to quantify its influence in its field. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the characteristics of the 50 top‐cited articles addressing dental education published in two journals dedicated to dental education (European Journal of Dental Education and Journal of Dental Education). The Web of Science database was searched to retrieve the 50 most‐cited articles from the two journals in December 2018. The top‐cited articles were analyzed for journal of publication, number of citations, institution and country of origin, year of publication, study type, keywords, theme and subtheme, and international collaborations. The results showed the 50 top‐cited articles were cited between 24 and 146 times each. The majority of these top‐cited articles (n=34) were published in the Journal of Dental Education. Half (n=25) of the articles were by authors in the U.S. The most common study types were surveys (n=26) and reviews (n=10). The main themes of these top‐cited articles were curriculum and learner characteristics. This bibliometric analysis can serve as a reference for recognizing studies with the most impact in the scholarship of dental education.

Authors: Gorucu‐Coskuner Hande , Atik Ezgi , Taner Tulin
Published: November 2019

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of live‐video and video demonstration methods in training dental students in orthodontic emergency applications. A total of 105 fifth‐year dental students at a dental school in Turkey participated in the study in 2018. A pretest was given to the students to evaluate their level of knowledge about band cementing and re‐bonding of brackets. Subsequently, two clinical applications were demonstrated with either live‐video or video demonstration. During the live‐video demonstration, the lecturer gave information about the steps of the procedure while performing the clinical application on the patient using a camera attached to the loupes. The students were able to see the process on the screens. During the video demonstration, previously recorded videos of those clinical applications were shown, and information was given to students in a classroom. On the next day, posttests were given to the students. The posttest also asked students to give their opinions about both methods. The results showed that the mean posttest scores on the video demonstration were significantly higher than on the live‐video demonstration. However, no significant difference between the demonstration methods was found with regard to increase of scores from pre‐ to posttest. Most students preferred use of the two demonstrations together for education in the clinical orthodontics lecture. This study found that the two demonstration methods had comparable effects on increasing students’ level of knowledge. However, from the students’ perspective, the two should be used together to achieve the highest effect.
Perceived Barriers to Academic Success for International Students Studying Dental Hygiene in the U.S
Authors: Jenkins Susan J. , Boyd Linda D.
Published: November 2019

The number of international students coming to the U.S. for post‐secondary education has been steadily increasing. Prior research has found that international students encounter many barriers to academic success, but this topic has not been previously studied for the discipline of dental hygiene. The aims of this study were to investigate the barriers and challenges to academic success faced by international students in U.S. dental hygiene programs and to explore the students’ thoughts on the value they bring to those programs. The overlapping qualitative methods of semi‐structured focus groups and one‐on‐one interviews with 12 students in three U.S. dental hygiene programs were used for this phenomenological study. In the results, six themes emerged: language proficiency, communication challenges with faculty and patients, ability to adapt to a new educational system, adjusting to cultural differences, feelings of belonging, and the value of diversity. The most significant barrier for the participants was comprehension of the English language. Didactically, these students reported that they needed additional time to study and to process examination questions. This study found that these international students studying dental hygiene in the U.S. had academic challenges similar to international students studying in other disciplines. Dental hygiene educators may need to evaluate their didactic and test‐taking strategies to ensure the academic success of international students.

Authors: Roberts Eugenia P. , Delapp James A. , Florento Greig , Kramer Robert T. , Brownstein Sheri A. , Stein Amy Buros
Published: November 2019

In the U.S., the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) requires that dental schools use competency‐based assessments and standardized levels of proficiency to ensure that students are prepared for patient care after graduation. No such comprehensive standardized preclinical testing is required in the CODA standards. The aim of this study was to determine the use of preclinical competency assessments for students transitioning from preclinical to clinical education in North American dental schools and respondents’ perceptions of the need for standardization in preclinical testing. An electronic survey was sent to the academic deans of all 76 U.S. and Canadian dental schools in July 2018 asking if the school used competency exams to assess preclinical students prior to entering patient care and, if so, about the type of tests and disciplines tested, student remediation, and reasons for revisions. The survey also asked for the respondents’ perspectives on potential preclinical assessment standardization. Respondents from 28 U.S. and two Canadian schools participated in the survey, for a 39.5% response rate. The majority (92.3%) of respondents said their school considered preclinical competency assessments to be good indicators of students’ readiness for transitioning into patient care, yet 40.0% reported their schools had no comprehensive preclinical testing, and 13.8% had no preclinical testing in endodontics, periodontics, prosthetics, or restorative dentistry. Regarding type of comprehensive preclinical assessment used, 71.4% reported using typodont‐based exams, 46.4% used written comprehensive exams, and 42.9% used objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs); respondents could select all that applied on this item. Of the respondents whose schools had preclinical competency assessments, 72.4% had a review mechanism in place to evaluate its effectiveness. Overall, this study found that 60% of the participating schools had some form of preclinical testing, but there were no agreed‐upon competencies to determine preclinical dental students’ readiness for safe patient care in their clinical education

Published: November 2019

In 2019 alone, Temerloh district located in central Peninsular Malaysia has been hit by unpredictable wind storms in localised areas which damaged more than 185 rural homes.  This research set out to assess the structural vulnerabilities of damaged rural houses to severe winds in Temerloh and lessons learned from windstorm damage through field surveys of damaged homes between March 2019-August 2019 and supplemented by district-level post-windstorm reconnaissance reports prepared by Malaysia Civil Defense Force (APM) and other information gathered from local government. Results indicate poor performance of structural and non-structural building components in resisting high wind loads due to inadequate design, under-strength of failed building materials and defective construction details. The results of this study could have important implications for government agencies, NGOs, builders, and engineers in assisting rural communities in reconstructing windproof resistant homes and planning for future windstorm risk management efforts specially catered to homeowners in Temerloh.Keywords: Rural housing; Windstorm; Resilience; Malaysia eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.

Published: November 2019

Many countries reported having experienced external pressures on their culture and tradition, including losing their food heritage and identity. With that, Malaysia, as a multi-cultural country, is also much concerned in preserving its food heritage and identity. This paper aimed to determine the impact of food heritage endorsement towards building food identity from a food experts perspective. A qualitative approach used to gather information, specifically by using a semi-structured interview with eight informants from government agencies and the food industry. The results revealed that the panel of experts corresponded to the impact of the endorsement of food heritage towards national food heritage in four themes, which were: creating an image; documentation of food heritage; preserving the traditional food; and national identity. The impact of endorsement towards national food heritage would help the nation in building food heritage in the direction of the country’s identity, which contributed towards national food identity or national food image. It is not only appreciated among the Malaysians but also in the international arena.Keywords: Impact of endorsement; food heritage; food identity; expert paneleISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019. The Authors.

Implementing a Digital HIV Care Navigation Intervention (Health eNav): Protocol for a Feasibility Study
Authors: Arayasirikul Sean , Trujillo Dillon , Turner Caitlin M , Le Victory , Wilson Erin C
Published: November 2019

Background

Young racial and ethnic minority men who have sex with men (MSM) and trans women are disproportionately affected by HIV and AIDS in the United States. Unrecognized infection, due to a low uptake of HIV testing, and poor linkage to care are driving forces of ongoing HIV transmission among young racial and ethnic minority MSM and trans women. Internet and mobile technologies, in combination with social network-based approaches, offer great potential to overcome and address barriers to care and effectively disseminate interventions.

Objective

We describe Health eNavigation (Health eNav), a digital HIV care navigation intervention that extends supportive care structures beyond clinic walls to serve youth and young adults living with HIV who are newly diagnosed, not linked to care, out of care, and not virally suppressed, at times when they need support the most.

Methods

This study leverages ecological momentary assessments for a period of 90 days and uses person-delivered short message service text messages to provide participants with digital HIV care navigation over a 6-month period. We aim to improve engagement, linkage, and retention in HIV care and improve viral suppression. Digital HIV care navigation includes the following components: (1) HIV care navigation, (2) health promotion, (3) motivational interviewing, and (4) digital social support.

Results

Recruitment began on November 18, 2016; enrollment closed on May 31, 2018. Intervention delivery ended on November 30, 2018, and follow-up evaluations concluded on October 31, 2019. In this paper, we present baseline sample characteristics.

Conclusions

We discuss real-world strategies and challenges in delivering the digital HIV care navigation intervention in a city-level, public health setting.

Didáctica del teorema de Pitágoras mediada por las TIC: el caso de una clase de Matemáticas
Authors: Conde-Carmona Robinson Junior , Fontalvo-Meléndez Andrés Antonio
Published: November 2019

De acuerdo con los resultados históricos del programa PISA de la Organización de Cooperación y Desarrollo Económico, los jóvenes latinoamericanos tienen deficiencias en la resolución de problemas matemáticos que exigen habilidades y competencias de alto nivel. En este contexto, aunque el promedio de desempeño de Colombia ha mejorado considerablemente desde 2006, todavía se evidencian dificultades en dicha área. En tal sentido, este trabajo, por medio de la investigación-acción participativa (IAP), hace una propuesta de implementación de herramientas TIC para facilitar la enseñanza y aprendizaje del teorema de Pitágoras en la clase de Matemáticas del grado octavo (8) del colegio San Vicente de Paúl de Barranquilla. Se emplea un enfoque cualitativo para analizar la información recabada por medio de observaciones, entrevistas y encuestas. Los hallazgos indican que la mediación de herramientas TIC, específicamente de software matemático, puede mejorar la competencia de profesor e influye en la mejora del aprendizaje de los alumnos porque potencia el interés y la comprensión de los temas.

La construcción cinemática de la ciudad: una aproximación a la actualidad de la Medellín representada
Authors: Puerta-Domínguez Simón
Published: November 2019

El presente artículo es una apropiación de la propuesta de aproximación al cine del filósofo norteamericano Fredric Jameson para interpelar las nuevas formas de representación que aparecen en las películas recientes que están relacionadas con la ciudad de Medellín. El ejercicio teórico se realiza a partir de la obra de los noventa de Víctor Gaviria y de sus continuidades y rupturas con tres películas recientes de la ciudad: Mambo Cool, Los Nadie y Matar a Jesús, señalando tránsitos en las políticas locales de la imagen, su valoración moral y su sentido como proyecto urbano de Medellín. La representación cinematográfica aporta a la comprensión de un contexto social específico, develándose como un registro sintomático de sus contradicciones inherentes. Más que un estudio que agote el ejercicio de análisis, se trata de un ensayo propiamente dicho, donde se sugiere una aproximación no conclusiva, abierta y en constante proceso de constitución.
¿Orientan los aparatos tecnológicos las acciones humanas? Una postura praxeológica
Authors: Prada-Rodríguez Manuel Leonardo
Published: November 2019

En la sociedad actual, el uso que las personas hacen de los aparatos tecnológicos no parece intencional, sino dirigido por el aparato mismo. Como esta situación es recurrente, este artículo busca contestar la pregunta de si los aparatos tecnológicos orientan las acciones humanas. Para ello se emplea un marco metodológico de enfoque cualitativo, empezando con una revisión de los antecedentes representados por las posturas de John Searle, Martin Heidegger y Bruno Latour. Después, se revisa la bibliografía fundamental de Antonio González-Fernández para seleccionar algunas premisas praxeológicas, y sentar una postura al respecto, a partir del concepto de realidad, al que denomina alteridad, relacionado con los aparatos tecnológicos, en tanto son cosas reales que pueden afectar las acciones humanas. Los resultados indican que los aparatos tecnológicos no dirigen las acciones humanas, asunto que corresponde a las estructuras de la praxis denominadas actuación y actividad. Así, la postura praxeológica no es mero intencionalismo ni puro dominio de la técnica, ni mucho menos una síntesis de ambas posturas. Más bien se puede proponer la coexistencia de la intencionalidad humana y la influencia del aparato tecnológico que, en tanto que cosa real, afecta al ser humano y lo obliga a dar una respuesta ante su presencia real. De esta manera, la implicación filosófica más importante consiste en derivar una postura praxeológica que supera las limitaciones de sus predecesores.
Contribuciones al debate sobre la relevancia moral de los artefactos tecnológicos
Authors: Moreno Juan-Carlos
Published: November 2019

Este artículo revisa el reciente debate sobre la relevancia moral de los artefactos tecnológicos, fundamentalmente generado a partir de los planteamientos de Peter-Paul Verbeek y, además, propone algunas contribuciones a la discusión. Antecedida por las teorías que afirman su agencia moral, la afirmación de la relevancia moral de los artefactos es posiblemente el más importante planteamiento realizado en el campo de la ética de la tecnología en las últimas décadas, Para comprender este planteamiento, el texto sintetiza la tesis de la relevancia moral de los artefactos; luego, hace algunas precisiones acerca de los argumentos que la sostienen para esclarecer algunos malentendidos, alrededor de los cuales se ha generado un amplio debate; adicionalmente, valora sus aportes al campo de la ética de la tecnología; finalmente, evalúa las críticas a esta perspectiva. El texto concluye con la presentación de algunas contribuciones al debate, relacionadas con las concepciones de agencia y relevancia moral. Específicamente, se argumenta que este planteamiento se puede sustentar en varias teorías de la agencia moral, en contraposición a las críticas que reducen el sentido de esta concepción a la teoría de la agencia moral sostenida desde la Teoría del Actor-Red.
