Published: September 2022

Overdenture treatment is a notion which precludes the inevitability of “floating plastic” in edentulous mouths. The concept of tooth retained overdenture is a simple and cost effective way to retain few firm teeth that are present in an otherwise compromised dentition to increase the retention and stability of complete denture leading to increased chewing efficiency of patient. The concept of overdentures is a positive means for delaying the process of complete edentulism and helps in reducing bone resorption. To top it all, it gives the patient the sensitivity and proprioception of having prosthesis with his natural teeth still present. In this article, case reports with three different types of Overdentures are discussed: Overdenture with submerged abutment, Overdenture without coping on abutment and overdenture with coping based on available inter-arch space.

Mandibular Resection Appliances:A Review
Authors: Jafri Paiker
Published: September 2022

Mandibular resection leads to mandibular deviation towards the defect side resulting in loss of occlusion on the unresected side,altered mandibular movements, esthetic disfigurement, difficulty in swallowing, impaired speech and articulation.Surgical Reconstruction may not be feasible in each case.Prosthetic Rehabilitation along with physical therapy helps to regain form and function in such patients and enhance their quality of life.This can be accomplished by the use of various guidance prosthesis which can efficiently retrain the mandible after resection procedures to achieve a functional occlusal relationship thereby enabling early advancement to a nearly perfect functioning permanent restoration.This paper presents an insight on the various mandibular guidance prosthesis that can be used to correct mandibular deviation following partial mandibulectomy and the rehabilitative aspects of mandibular deviation.
Is Ferritin one of The Missing Link in Putting Together the Pieces of Covid 19 and Mucormycosis?
Authors: Sarah
Published: September 2022

Abstract

The exact cause of increased incidence of mucormycosis in covid-19 patient is an enigma. Cause cannot be attributed to a single factor, although many theories are doing the rounds. Predisposing factors include an immune-compromised host (both due to viral infectionas well as systemic corticosteroid therapy), diabetic ketoacidosis, zinc medications etc.Medical professionals are at a loss of words in explaining the exact cause of this phenomenon. The purpose of this review is to hypothesise if increased availability of iron in the host has any adjunctive role in increased incidence of mucormycosis in covid-19 patients.

Recent findings- Hyperferritenemia has been detected in covid-19 patients with increase levels in tune with high morbidity, mortality and severity of covid 19. Dual role has been attributed to this iron containing protein actingboth as a product of inflammation (released by various inflammatory cells) as well as mediator of inflammatory responses. There has been a sudden surge in zygomycetes infection particularly of the order mucorales. Mucormycosiscaused by Rhizopusoryzae sis a life threatening infection seen in covid-19 patients. A novel mechanism in pathogenesis of mucormycosis is iron acquisition.

Background. Breast cancer (BC) is the most common female malignancy worldwide. partner and localizer of BRCA2 gene (PALB2) is directly involved in DNA damage response. germline mutation in PALB2 has been identified in breast cancer and familial pancreatic cancer cases, accounting for approximately 1–2% and 3–4%, respectively. the goal of this report was to describe new PALB2 mutation in a young Yakut breast cancer patient with family history of cancer. Material and methods. Genomic DNA were isolated from blood samples and used to prepare libraries using a capture-based target enrichment kit, Hereditary Cancer Solution™ (SOPHIA GENETICS, Switzerland), covering 27 genes (ATM, APC, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDH1, CHEK2, EPCAM, FAM175A, MLH1, MRE11A, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, NBN, PALB2, PIK3CA, PMS2, PMS2CL, PTEN, RAD50, RAD51C, RAD51D, STK11, TP53 and XRCC2). paired-end sequencing (2 × 150 bp) was conducted using NextSeq 500 system (Illumina, USA). Results. Here we describe a case of a never-before-reported mutation in the PALB gene that led to the early onset breast cancer. We report the case of a 39-year-old breast cancer Yakut woman with a family history of pancreatic cancer. Bioinformatics analysis of the NGS data revealed the presence of the new PALB2 gene germinal frameshift deletion (NM_024675:exon1:c.47dela:p.K16fs). in accordance with dbPubMed ClinVar, new mutation is located in codon of the PALB2 gene, where the likely pathogenic donor splice site mutation (NM_024675.3:c.48+1delG) associated with hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome has been earlier described. Conclusion. We found a new never-before-reported mutation in PALB2 gene, which probably associated with early onset breast cancer in Yakut indigenous women with a family history of pancreatic cancer.

The object of research: cast iron grade DSTU EN 1561 (EN-GJL-200), used for the manufacture of brake drums for KrAZ trucks.

Investigated problem: obtaining the effect of resource saving by minimizing the consumption of alloying elements, while maintaining a given level of mechanical properties of cast iron.

The main scientific results: experimental and theoretical confirmation of the possibility of reducing the content of Cr introduced into the alloy to increase its strength, as part of the Cr:Ni alloying complex, was obtained. It is shown that a decrease in the Cr content from the upper range (0.34–0.48) % to the lower one (0.21–0.33) % does not affect the ultimate strength of cast iron (σb). The obtained values of σb for both ranges are statistically equal: σb =234MPa, Sσb =16.22 MPa for the upper range of Cr content and σb=240MPa, Sσb=19.86 MPa for the lower range of Cr content, where Sσb is the standard deviation of the tensile strength value. It is established that the hardness (HB) is also unchanged: the obtained values of HB for both ranges are statistically equal: HB213, SHB=9.1 for the upper range of Cr content and HB212, SHB=12 for the lower range of Cr content, where SNB is the standard deviation of hardness. At the same time, it has been statistically proven that the Cr:Ni ratio can be shifted towards lower Cr values – from Cr:Ni=2.2:1 in the existing technology to Cr:Ni=1.76:1 in the ones proposed in this study.

The area of practical use of the results of the study: the results obtained can be used in machine-building enterprises specializing in the manufacture of hull cast iron parts with a foundry cycle. The adaptation of the proposed results to the actual conditions of the foundry production of implementing organizations will be minimal if they comply with the following criteria: cast iron grade, predominant or minimum casting wall thickness, temperature regime of melting and out-of-furnace treatment, ferroalloys and modifiers used.

Innovative technological product: iron smelting technology for commercial vehicle brake drum castings that reduces production costs while maintaining a given level of mechanical properties

The scope of the technological innovative product: technological regimes for producing cast iron for the production of cast brake drums for trucks.
The TDS model and epistemic justice for bilingual learners
Authors: Marupi Omphile , Charamba Erasmos
Published: September 2022

The object of research: Contemporary research suggests the use of an instructional language different from students’ home language as a major contributing factor to academic underachievement. This has also been the case in Gwanda South, Zimbabwe, where Sesotho speaking secondary school learners are taught through English only and have been underperforming. Analysts have suggested the use of a language different from their learners’ home language as the major cause of academic underachievement.

Investigated problem: This study explores how concurrent use of multiple languages can enhance learning in a bilingual community. Results from national examinations show learners from Gwanda South perform comparatively lower than most districts in the country, resulting in calls for transformative pedagogy. This mixed methods study used a descriptive survey design that opted for face-to-face interviews and questionnaires to collect data from 120 secondary school learners, 20 parents, 20 teachers, 10 head teachers and 10 Teachers-in-Charge. Convenience sampling was used to identify participants.

The main scientific results: Results from the study indicate participants’ willingness for pedagogies that acknowledge multiple languages. They also indicate an enhanced academic performance among students when the TDS model is used for pedagogical purposes. As a result, the article introduces a model that is being proposed and recommended for use in bilingual settings, called The Dual System (TDS) Model. The TDS Model has a number of variables that make it operate effectively and efficiently. Its basis is two languages in an environment and community with a keen interest in the successful use of those languages in the classroom. Both teacher and learner ought to be tuned to dual language use and to accept full roles for both languages in the classroom. Translanguaging then is a key element that defines academic activities. Bilingual education where Sesotho and English are key classroom languages is recommended for Gwanda South, Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe.

Suggestopedia: an effective way to teach and learn a foreign language
Authors: Darici Nurullah
Published: September 2022

The most prominent feature distinguishing humans from animals is their ability to communicate in many ways. People recognize and introduce themselves through language. The individual thinks, speaks, and writes in the language of the society in which s/he lives. When an individual enters a different community, the need to learn a foreign language arises because s/he would have to speak the language of that society to communicate. Language learners and teachers should benefit more from the suggestopedia method. This study is a review article that presents brief theoretical, qualitative information on the suggestopedia method in language learning. This method helps learners improve their feelings, distract them from language learning fears, and reduce learning barriers to getting rid of the fear of making mistakes. Learners of a foreign language will discover their learning potential and keep their information in mind for the longest time by this method.

The object of research: Although there are many ways or methods of learning and teaching a foreign language, suggestopedia technique is still a popular way for teachers and learners in teaching and learning a foreign language. Therefore, it is high time to introduce suggestopedia method to the interested readers. The object of this study is to revise the related literature of Suggestopedia and compile significant features in one study.

Investigated problem: Motivation is a paramount factor for any kind of activity. Learners usually get exhausted in learning a new challenging thing and they might get demotivated due to the environment they are in. One of the most effective barriers in front of learning a foreign language is not having self-esteem which decreases motivation and ends up with failure. However, some people may have the misconception that their academic skills are not sufficient to proceed. Their main problem may be solved through what this methos suggests.

The main scientific results: There may be various reasons why one cannot learn a language effectively. Suggestopedia offers a solution to one dimension of the problem by highlighting important points of psychological aspect. This may help many learners to more efficiently learn a foreign language

The area of practical use of the research results: The results this review extracted can be used by those who feel psychological barriers in front of learning a foreign language

Movies, from the time of its origin, are an integral part of our lives in articulating and shaping our thoughts ,customs and cultures. No other art form has played that much influence on human lives. Generally, Majority of the people receive what they get as firsthand experience without examining the authenticity of its content. It is true in the case of majority of historical fictional movies .At times movies take up the role of an interconnecting link between Individuals ,societies and events in the past and present , generations as well . At the same time it becomes a buckler for some facts related to a marginalised group ie a community, caste, race etc etc. Thus the real identity is concealed for the sake of personal gains even for satisfying the authority or the main stream community. At this point the artist literally breaks all the rules and deceives his conscience and eventually his art. Major films of this kind distorts the facts, identity of the people places and individuals. .In this paper I would like to examine the movie Malik that is released recently through OTT Platform in the light of socio political background of the events presented in the movie. Immediately after its release, a wide range of discussion was promoted through various media, social media in particular.Here my attempt is to analyze how far the movie is trustworthy for the present generation and the future generation as well. Besides, I would like to point out some other movies with similar features.. Thus, the misrepresentation of facts, identity of individuals , places and communities come to light in this discussion.Always,it is better to find a solution to a certain extent- a reliable one â€“ rather than mere talks amongst the public.
