Authors:   Korea Gerontological Society, Nam Seok In , Han Sangyoon , Kim Tae Hyun , Park Yu Bin
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the diverse experience of the use of digital technologies for older adults, while also paying attention to the digital gap within the older adult group. In particular, based on the grounded theory, the long-term phenomenon and experience of older adults were analyzed. During the analysis, we developed a discussion on intra-group heterogeneity that could be overlooked in treating older adults as a group. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 older adults aged 65 years or older who had experience using digital devices. As a result of the study, 54 concepts, 26 sub-categories, and 14 categories were found. The core phenomenon of ‘standing in the maze of the digital world’ was discovered, and the surrounding causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervention conditions, behavior/interaction strategies, and outcomes were presented as a paradigm model. This study provides guidelines for digital inclusion policies and interventions, including building a senior digital plaza that takes into account the heterogeneity of the older population and reflects the needs, desires, and limitations of each group.

Online English Literature Classes in Pakistani Public Universities: Preferences and Attitudes of Undergraduate Students
Authors: Hussain Shafqat , Ali Ameer
Published: June 2022

COVID-19 resulted in the digitalization of teaching and learning in Pakistan and across the world. Indeed, online education has become a new normal in the wake of the pandemic. The subject of English literature in Pakistani universities is also being taught online, which has become a hindrance in the development of critical understanding of literature in students. Learning in online classes of English literature can be challenging for them because literature demands an effective discussion on the subject matter. Researcher 1, a student at the Department of English, University of Sindh observed such issues related to the online teaching of English literature. Students faced challenges in understanding literature in online classrooms due to digital illiteracy. This fact motivated the researchers to explore the attitudes and preferences of undergraduate students and measure challenges facing them in online classes in order to provide a way forward. Hence, this study focused on undergraduate online classrooms of English literature of sixteen public sector universities of Pakistan. A quantitative survey of the respondents, who were sampled using the probability sampling technique, was used to collect the primary data. In total, one hundred and fifty-one participants from sixteen Pakistani public sector universities participated in this study. Among them, sixty-five were males and eighty-six were females. All were undergraduate students at the Department of English Literature of their respective university. Their responses were quantified in MS Excel and charts. The quantified data revealed that most of the students wanted more discussion and engagement in online classes of English literature. The results also demonstrated that students supported interactive learning. Moreover, they did not consider the use of digital tools as effective in teaching drama and poetry. However, the online mode of teaching was preferred for teaching short stories and novels. This study can help teachers, students, and policymakers to know what students prefer and do not prefer in online classes. Furthermore, it manifests how their preferences can be transformed into student-centered teaching in the digital domain.

How to Achieve Data-Driven Public Administration: Factors and Policy Strategies for Local Governments
Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Lee Jaeyong
Published: June 2022

Local governments are one of the key players in generating, collecting, and managing data. Nevertheless, data policies so far have largely reflected the central government’s perspective, and this lack of understanding of local governments’ reality has prevented the realization of data-driven public administration. Therefore, this study analyzes the data-related status of local governments and presents policy strategies to establish data-driven public administration; moreover, based on theData-Driven Public Administration Actand previous studies, this study determines the essential factors for promoting data-driven public administration: institutional basis, collaboration, data utilization, and preparation for policy promotion. By analyzing theData-Driven Public Administration Implementation Planbased on the abovementioned factors, it identifies problems related to the online system, organization, human resource, and ordinance at the dimension of institutional basis; data sharing and exchange at the collaboration level; the use of data by policy type and field at the dimension of data utilization; and data type and education at the dimension of preparation for policy promotion. Finally, this study presents specific policy strategies at the preparation, operation, and management levels by comprehensively analyzing the results of the various dimensions.
Partisanship and Political Conflicts in the Local Politics
Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Ka Sanjoon , Yoo Sung-jin , Park Jinsoo , Park Kyungmee
Published: June 2022

This study analyzes the cases of congressional formation and the reconsideration and lawsuits on the local ordinances to explore the types of political conflicts in local politics. The partisanship, a factor of political conflicts, makes effects on the congressional formation and the reconsideration and lawsuits on the local ordinances as well as bills of budget and revised supplementary budget. Political conflicts in local congress with low partisanship competition led to the disruptive congressional management, political dealings, and legal dispute while the delayed opening, the routinization of political conflicts, and legal disputes can be the types of political conflicts in local congress with high level of partisanship competition. For the reconsideration and lawsuit on the local ordinances, low level of partisanship competition tends to be the cases before the court nullifing the local ordinances, but high level of partisanship competition is likely to reject the local ordinances in the local congress without legal disputes.

Published: June 2022

Objective: To generate a proposal for regional categorization (regionalization) of fishing villages in Baja California Sur, Mexico, following social and economic fishing criteria.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Socioeconomic data on fishing in Mexico are analyzed. This regionalization uses data collected in the field on the conditions of artisanal fishing cooperatives in Baja California Sur, Mexico (BCS). Subsequently a geo-referential methodology linked to a database was applied. Database was re-categorized by nominal or ordinal statistical values, as it was the case for each. ArcView 3.2 Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to obtain the geo-referenced classification. Then, a geostatistical analysis derived from the Kriging tool was applied.
Results: We obtained a regional classification of fishing in Mexico, displayed in maps with vector data. The regionalization is of a social nature, it shows a classification of cooperation level at artisanal fishing cooperatives in the fishing towns of northern Baja California Sur (BCS).
Limitations/Implications: The lack of socioeconomic data on fisheries in Mexico has been an important limitation to generate a more accurate regionalization of the Mexican coasts.
Findings/Conclusions: Analyzing the social and organizational factors of fishing is necessary for the understanding of marine socio-ecosystems in Mexico. These criteria joined to the use of computer tools allowed the regional geo-located categorization of areas with similar characteristics. Whit the use of this methodology the efficiency of the use of Kriging as a multi-specific analysis tool can be verified
New approaches to deformalization of evidence in the criminal procedure of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Authors: Akhpanov A. N. , Khan A. L.
Published: June 2022

На сучасному етапі розвитку кримінального судочинства в Республіці Казахстан явно намітилася тенденція до максимального зближення процедур кримінального процесу до англосаксонської системи права та, як наслідок, спроби деформалізації доказування. Вирішення зазначених завдань правозастосовник і деякі представники наукового світу вбачають у посиленні дії принципу змагальності сторін на досудових стадіях процесу та збільшенні обсягу повноважень сторони захисту, у тому числі шляхом надання їм права на проведення самостійних слідчих дій. Своє бачення вони виклали у розроблених інститутом парламентаризму РК Концептуальних підходах удосконалення вітчизняного кримінального процесу, винісши їх на обговорення розширеного засідання Правової ради.
Метою статті є обґрунтування позиції авторів у контексті модернізації кримінального судочинства в Республіці Казахстан.
Наукова новизна полягає у проведенні правового аналізу запропонованих Концептуальних підходів, розгляді наслідків їх реалізації, розкритті причин авторської незгоди з викладеною позицією.
Висновки. Вважаємо, що саме відсутністю системного підходу, у тому числі в запропонованому Концептуальному підході Інституту парламентаризму, обумовлена нестабільність поточного законодавства, зростання правового нігілізму серед населення, а також таке, що нав’язується, волюнтаристське і непрофесійне тлумачення розробниками названого Інституту положення Концепції правової політики РК до 2030 року в частині продовження розвитку принципу змагальності та рівноправності сторін.

Published: June 2022

Статтю присвячено розгляду ролі державної політики в процесах перетворення суспільства на цілісну національну й громадянсько-політичну спільноту.
Мета статті полягає у висвітленні проблем формування української національної та громадянської ідентичності, зважаючи на нові виклики сьогодення в умовах глобального суспільства й нового бачення політичної еліти країни, подальшого становлення цих засадничих постулатів у контексті розвитку громадянського суспільства в Україні.
Наукова новизна статті полягає у теоретичному обґрунтуванні потреби комплексного врегулювання здійснення державної політики в означеній сфері на законодавчому рівні, а саме закріплення особливостей формування та реалізації, гарантій участі громадян України, закордонних українців, громадських об’єднань та інших інститутів громадянського суспільства в її реалізації, визначення та розмежування відповідних повноважень органів державної влади та органів місцевого самоврядування.
Висновки. Утвердження української національної та громадянської ідентичності має надати новий імпульс для формування в Україні суспільства, що передбачає трансформацію громадянської свідомості, моральної, правової культури особистості, розквіт національної самосвідомості, а також ґрунтування на пріоритеті прав людини. Здійснення державної політики в означеній сфері потребує комплексного врегулювання на законодавчому рівні, тому ухвалення Верховною Радою України відповідних законодавчих ініціатив сприятиме консолідації Українського народу, утвердженню національних цінностей, ідей демократії, верховенства права, справедливості, рівності, прав людини, зміцненню громадянського суспільства тощо.
MARKANIN SOSYAL AĞ HESAPLARI ARACILIĞIYLA İHLALİ
Authors: SARI Onur
Published: June 2022

Sosyal ağlar, markaların değerini ve bilinirliğini etkileyen önemli iletişim araçlarındandır. Bu nedenle birçok marka, sosyal ağlarda hesap açmakta ve ürünlerinin tanıtımını yapmaktadır. Ancak bazen marka hakkı sahibi dışındaki kişiler, markayı sosyal ağ kullanıcı adı olarak kullanmakta ve markanın itibarından haksız bir şekilde yararlanmaktadır. Bir kimsenin, başkasının markasını, kullanıcı adı olarak kayıtlayıp kullanımı marka hakkının ihlali teşkil etmektedir. Sosyal ağ platformları, başkasına ait markaların haksız bir şekilde kullanıcı adı olarak kullanılmaması amacıyla çeşitli tedbirler almıştır. Örneğin bir kullanıcı adına başvuru halinde, başvuranın ilgili markayı kullanma hakkı olduğu yönünde belge sunması talep edilmektedir. Ayrıca uyar/kaldır sistemiyle marka sahibi, ilgili platforma başvurursa, platform kullanıcı adını askıya almaktadır. Fakat bu tedbirlerin uygulamada yetersiz kaldığı görülmektedir. Markaların haksız kullanıcı adı olarak kullanılmasındaki bir diğer sorunsa mülkilik ilkesidir. Mülkilik ilkesi gereği marka, ancak tescilli olduğu ülkelerde korunabilmektedir. Bu nedenle marka sahibinin ya ilgili ülkede tescil başvurusunda bulunması gerekir ya da uluslararası anlaşmalar bağlamında tescil başvurusunda bulunması gerekir. Dolayısıyla tüm Dünya’da markayı yeknesak bir şekilde koruyan bir tescil sistemi bulunmamaktadır. Oysa alan adlarında böyle bir sistem vardır. Bu durumda bir ülkede tescilli olan marka, tescilsiz olduğu bir ülkede kullanıcı adı olarak yetkisiz bir kişi tarafından kullanılabilir. Ülkemizdeyse tescilsiz markalar, haksız rekabet bağlamında korunmaktadır. Bu durumda marka, sahibi tescilli marka korumasından yararlanamasa bile haksız rekabet hükümleri gereği koruma talep edebilir.
A Framing Analysis of Chinese Political Discourse: Exemplified by the English Version of The 2021 Report on the Work of the Government
Authors: Chen Hangqin
Published: June 2022

This study, underpinned by critical framing theory, analyses the English version of The 2021 Report on the Work of the Government, instantiating the Chinese political discourse. First of all, this study extracts key semantic domains and keywords based on an online corpus processing program, Wmatrix. Second, metaphorical surface frames are identified in line with MIPVU, and then conceptual metaphors are summarized. It is found that the metaphorical frames WAR, ARCHITECTURE, and JOURNEY are activated in The 2021 Report on the Work of the Government by the use of such metaphorical words and expressions as a battle, lift out of, build, consolidate, speed up and step. This way of discourse framing is intended to construct the image of the Chinese government as a “leader” who encourages the Chinese people to join as “participants” in the state building. The traditional Chinese moral notion of Gongtianxia, 'the world being equally shared by all,' is the root of the discourse framing.
Literature Translation through Discourse and Register Analysis Approach: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ignacio Danica , Salundagit Reynalyn , Ilustre Ramil
Published: June 2022

This scoping review studies how translation works through discourse and register analysis approach. In translation, different translation types have been successfully practiced. In interlingual translation, translating means beyond the word-for-word translation. In literature translation, the translation process demands improvement, especially in classical literature that needs to be understood in a target foreign culture. This systematic review aims to study how translation processes work and how discourse and register analysis approaches can improve translation products. Discourse analysis deals with how language communicates and holds its social and power relations. Discourse analysis aims to understand and investigate sentences and discourse through their underlying social and cultural context. Through the metafunctions of language, register variables such as the field, tenor, and mode, as well as through comparative analysis of the source text and the target text, translation products could be more efficient for the target audience. Hence, it can ensure translation quality. The conclusions of this systematic review could lead to future studies to improve translation quality through discourse and register analysis approach.
Single Blessedness as a Lived Experience in Roman Catholic Lay Institutes
Authors: Pama Jerlyn D. , Nordy D. Siason Jr.
Published: June 2022

This phenomenological research aimed to explore single blessedness as a lived experience in lay institutes of the Roman Catholics. An interview was used as the primary tool for extracting the meaning of single blessedness among laywomen. There were twelve (12) cases selected to undergo data saturation for emerging themes and categories. Findings revealed two categories of single blessedness—to serve God and serve the family. Having the desire to serve God and the community, especially the poorest of the poor, the unmarried female members in Roman Catholic lay institutes had shown their charity through opportunities to be with the needy, have prayerful reflection and discernment, and offer their God-given talents to others. Their experience of reluctance to respond to this vertical call led to uneasiness and incompleteness. Meanwhile, another cohort of women found blessedness as a choice to selflessly serve their family while enjoying independence and autonomy. This was described as a traversal free from worries and other responsibilities and full of filial love from friends and family members. Staying single for the rest of their lives, these women described daily life as prayerful and charitable or chaste and pure in words and deeds with a strong and decisive commitment to work for their families and the poor. Nevertheless, these women, in blessed singleness, nourished themselves as well as prayers, positive relationships with themselves and others, their families, and most especially God.

A simulation model of an adaptive combined spatial-polarization system for detecting hydrometeorolog-ical formations in the atmosphere are created. The creation of this model is based on statistical modeling of both the electromagnetic field created by a useful signal and interference vibrations and the configu-rable parameters of the system under study. The laws of distribution of input random processes are de-scribed by Gaussian statistics. The adaptation of the weighting coefficients to the interference situation is carried out using a gradient algorithm. The dependences of the relative dispersion of the process at the output of the system under study on the number of the adaptation step are constructed, which indicate high efficiency of detecting the reflected signal from hydrometeors under the influence of noise interfer-ence arbitrarily oriented in space.

In order to further improve the accuracy and stability of sea surface temperature forecasting, this paper uses the 25-year historical data of OISST V2.0 and OAFlux, and fully considers factors such as radiation flux, heat flux, wind speed, air temperature, air specific humidity and SST. By controlling the variables and selecting the best model parameters, a multivariate Yellow Sea SST weekly prediction model based on the Encoder-Decoder LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) was constructed for the first time. The model can effectively track the daily change trend of SST, and respond to its fluctuation changes to achieve relatively accurate prediction. Taking 2008 as an example, the daily absolute errors of the test set within a week are 0.3836, 0.4523, 0.5276, 0.5905, 0.6362, 0.6644, and 0.6827, and the overall RMSE is 0.7594. It is concluded that further research is needed on the optimization of predictors and the ap-plicability of single-point forecasting using the discussed model.

Authors:   Sevastopol State University, Krasnodubets L.A. ,   Institute of Natural and Technical Systems
Published: June 2022

The results of a study of the possible application of the basic method of vertical profiling of the oceanic column as a stratified aquatic environment, proposed by the author for using in operational oceanology, are presented. The method provides real-time measurement of the density of sea water in situ as a func-tion of depth. In addition to seawater density profiles, the method allows generating data arrays on the distributions of the total and thermohaline vertical stability of water mass layers and the corresponding Väisälä-Brunt frequency profiles of thermohaline oscillations. Applications of the method for the con-struction of smart profiling algorithms, which significantly reduce the time of oceanographic stations, as well as synchronous profiling algorithms, are considered. The issues of optimization of processes of dy-namic measurements are investigated. The results of computer simulation are presented.

Background:Normalization Process Theory (NPT) identifies mechanisms that have been demonstrated to play an important role in implementation processes. It is now widely used to inform feasibility, process evaluation, and implementation studies in healthcare and other areas of work. This qualitative synthesis of NPT studies aims to better understand how NPT explains observed and reported implementation processes, and to explore the ways in which its constructs explain the implementability, enacting and sustainment of complex healthcare interventions.

Methods:We will systematically search Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science databases and use the Google Scholar search engine for citations of key papers in which NPT was developed.  This will identify English language peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals reporting (a) primary qualitative or mixed methods studies; or, (b) qualitative or mixed methods evidence syntheses in which NPT was the primary analytic framework. Studies may be conducted in any healthcare setting, published between June 2006 and 31 December 2021. We will perform a qualitative synthesis of included studies using two parallel methods: (i) directed content analysis based on an already developed coding manual; and (ii) unsupervised textual analysis using Leximancer® topic modelling software.

Other:We will disseminate results of the review using peer reviewed publications, conference and seminar presentations, and social media (Facebook and Twitter) channels. The primary source of funding is the National Institute for Health Research ARC North Thames. No human subjects or personal data are involved and no ethical issues are anticipated.

The study was designed to investigate the constraints to health and productivity of dairy farms and their possible remedies in Sadar Upazila (sub-district) of Sylhet, Sreemangal Upazila at Moulavi Bazar, Chatak and South Sunamgonj Upazila at Sunamgonj districts. Ninety dairy farms including marginal and small (2-10 cows), medium (11-25 cows) and large (>25 cows) of urban, suburban and rural areas were randomly selected for multistage sampling. Farmers were interviewed using pre-tested questionnaire. The major constraints were high price of concentrate, poor knowledge of feeding, scarcity of forage, weak recording system, cost of high yielding well-adapted milking cows, prolonged postpartum anoestrus, repeat breeding, incorrect timing of AI, mastitis, low pregnancy rate, lack of milk co-operative, weak milk marketing and high veterinary cost. To overcome the current situation government should give incentives on cattle feed and credit facility with soft interest to the farmers; DLS and other organizations should arrange effective training on dairy farm management.

Authors: Rahman MS , Hakim ML , Rima UK , Rahman MM , Rumi NA
Published: June 2022

The prevalence of diseases of pigeon and response to treatment of bacterial disease were studied. One thousand pigeons were collected and examined to diagnose diseases following clinical history and signs, post-mortem lesions and laboratory examination. The overall prevalence of pigeon diseases was 21.9% (n = 219). Parasitic infestation was significantly (P<0.01) higher (30%) followed by bacterial (22.3%), viral (18.9%) nutritional and others (16.3%) and fungal (14.3%). Disease prevalence was higher in female than in male, and higher in birds of 2 to 6-months old than in older or younger birds. The prevalence of diseases was higher (P<0.01) in winter (34%) than summer (16.7%) and rainy (14.3%) seasons. Pigeons of extensive rearing system showed more (23.0%) infection than in intensive (19.7%) system. Prevalence was significantly (P<0.01) higher (25.2%) in nonvaccinated pigeons than vaccinated (17%) pigeons. Treatment with Oxytetracycline hydrochloride (Tetravet-200 WSP), Sulphaclozine Sodium Monohydrate (SCZ WSP) and Doxycycline (DOXY-A VET) were effective against bacterial diseases. It is suggested that scientific management, bio-security and therapeutic measures against infectious diseases are required to combat the maladies in pigeon.

Authors: Chakraborty Pragwa Permita , Chakraborty Rivu Raj , Bhattacharjee Sharmista , Dutta Hiranmoy , Barua Debjane , Jahan Iffat
Published: June 2022

Background: Noise has been recognized for hundreds of years as hazardous to health. In big cities, the children are more prone to Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) due to high frequency sounds from different sources. Early reliable diagnosis of hearing loss is essential to adopt appropriate treatment to minimize potential developmental delays attributed to loss. This corner of child health hazards is less addressed ever before in our country.

Methodology: This study was designed as a cross sectional, observational study conducted in Chittagong metropolitan city of Chittagong district under the guidance of the Department of Physiology, Chattogram Medical College, Chattogram. The study was conducted among the children of 5 to 18 years of age. Sample size was 500. Study was conducted over 1 year of period from November 2009 to October 2010. Hearing status of all children were tested by pure tone audiometry at 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz using sound intensity ranging from 0 – 120 dB.

Result: 268 (53.6%) samples were male and 232 (46.4%) were female. The average sound level of study area were 90dB (highest) and 60 dB (lowest) at peak hour. This was evident that Mild degree of NIHL was quite high in the study area (8%) and total affected children were 9.2%. Male (7.6%) children are more affected by NIHL than female (2.39%) children. Maximum respondents are affected bilaterally (89.13%).

Conclusion: Prevalence of NIHL was remarkably high in urban areas among children. All efforts of public health interventions such as education, training, audiometric testing, exposure assessment, hearing protection, noise control and community based awareness programme when feasible should be targeted to prevent the NIHL from childhood and to achieve the best hearing conservation of general population.

Background: E. coli is found to be the commonest cause of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). However, E. coli antibiotic resistance has escalated over the past many years. To observe the possible uropathogen from suspected UTI male outdoor patient, different pathogenic bacteria isolated and identified from urine sample by culture and biochemical tests. Out of 200 urine samples, 160 (80.00%) yielded significant bacterial growth. Among them E. coli was the most predominant bacteria 82 (51.25%) followed by Klebsiella 30 (18.75%), Pseudomonas 14 (8.75%), Proteus 10 (6.25%) and different Gram positive bacteria 10 (6.25%). Only antibiotic susceptibility test of E. coli was done. All (100%) E. coli were sensitive to imipenem and colistin sulphate and 100% resistant to ciorofloxacin. In conclusion, it can be said that antibiotic resistance against commonly using antibiotics is an alarming sign for us to treat the outdoor patients.

Authors: Hasina Ayesha , Uddin Md Abbas , Sajalkumarshill -
Published: June 2022

Background: Myiasis is an infestation of live vertebrates (humans and/or animals) by larvae of dipterous fly. Although, it usually infects domestic and wild animals but humans may be rarely affected if they are reared in unhygienic condition. Although adult cases have beenreported, neonatal myiasis is a rare condition and there are few reports aboutthis subject. Common sites of myiasisare exposed areas of the body such as extremities, scalp, and back. Herein, we report a case of umbilical myiasis, a 13days old neonate visited to outpatient department with complaint of worms coming out from umbilicus for 2 days. On examination, periumbilical erythema and umbilical discharge was present. The umbilical stump was irrigated with providine iodine, hydrogen per oxide and topical application with turpentine oil was given then worms were coming out from umbilicus. Umbilical myiasis is a very rare presentation indicating poor hygiene and a preventable condition.

Las metodologías activas de enseñanza aprendizaje son nuevas herramientas para que los docentes interactúen con los estudiantes desde una perspectiva diferente e innovadora. En este artículo se analiza la incidencia de la Gamificación durante una clase de lengua Kichwa. Sabiendo que el aprendizaje de la lengua no es del todo aceptado ya que es considerada de poco valor. A esto hay que sumarle la poca diversificación de metodología innovadoras de enseñanza. Un porcentaje de docentes aun utilizan los métodos tradicionales y poco motivadores que casi no contribuyen a alcanzar los aprendizajes significativos de los estudiantes. Esta investigación se realizó a través de una ficha de observación a estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Leónidas Proaño II de la comunidad de Monjas en la parroquia Quinjeo. Se obtuvieron datos cuantitativos los mismos que fueron analizados por medio del programa SPSS. Finalmente se pudo comprobar que los juegos en línea es decir la Gamificación incidieron positivamente durante la clase estimulando a los estudiantes a recordar lo aprendido para aplicarlo en la actividad. Por ende, el docente pudo conocer los temas a reforzar.

Kissing Molars is a term used to describe impacted teeth that contact occlusal surfaces in a single follicular space. The occurrence of this phenomenon is extremely rare and of unknown etiology. Therefore, the present study aimed to present a case report of Kissing Molars associated with dentigerous cyst where a surgical procedure was needed under general anesthesia due to the atrophied jaw. On the left side, of the mandible, and fracture after the removal of the impacted teeth happened and a 2.4 mm reconstruction plate was installed. After the extraction of impacted molars, the lesion with a cystic aspect was removed and sent to histopathological analysis which confirmed the diagnostic hypothesis of dentigerous cyst. Thus, it was concluded that despite the rare impaction and unknown etiology, with a little report in the literature, clinically the case behaves like any impacted tooth, and inflammation may occur if it partially erupts. Radiographically, it presents with the occlusal surfaces in contact and a single follicle, usually associated with the dentigerous cyst.

Published: June 2022

O artigo ilustra a performance do Programa Nacional de Imunização (PNI) na Bahia, a cobertura da vacinação em relação à quantidade de habitantes, assim como a correlação com o investimento em saúde, através da extração e análise dos dados do DATASUS, IBGE e FNS. Verifica-se que embora o investimento em saúde no período analisado tenha sido relevante, a logística e armazenagem de vacinas ainda é muito precária, haja vista a falta de infraestrutura, tal qual câmaras de conservação de vacinas necessárias nos municípios baianos. Algumas patologias como coqueluche, poliomielite e hepatite, frente a cobertura vacinal, são tratadas individualmente e ilustradas de forma gráfica, afim de demonstrar fragilidades na performance do PNI e de como a aderência da população a respeito de movimentos contrários as campanhas de vacinação brasileira, influenciam e trazem sérias preocupações sistêmicas à comunidade médica e científica. As análises visuais deste artigo demonstram graficamente alguns dos conhecidos surtos de doenças, bem como o histórico de cobertura vacinal dos imunobiológicos e pretende elucidar um método que possa auxiliar em futuras tomadas de decisão.

A maior parte dos casos de trauma dentário ocorre no período da infância, principalmente por quedas e acidentes na escola ou em casa. A região da boca mais acometida pelos traumas é a maxila, sendo a mandíbula menos afetada. Uma lesão traumática no dente ocasiona danos a muitas estruturas dentárias e tecidos adjacentes e a possibilidade de êxito do tratamento endodôntico é muito grande quando realizado de maneira correta. O paciente deste caso sofreu um trauma com 11 anos e, mais de uma década depois, com o escurecimento do dente 11, buscou tratamento odontológico e descobriu extensas lesões periapicais envolvendo os dentes 11, 12, 21 e 22. Os dentes 11 e 12 passaram por cirurgia parendodôntica e os dentes 21 e 22 foram submetidos a um tratamento não cirúrgico. Este artigo tem como objetivo comparar a cicatrização de dentes traumatizados com extensas lesões periapicais que passaram por tratamento endodôntico convencional com e sem complementação cirúrgica, além de destacar o uso de materiais biocerâmicos. Concluiu-se que os tratamentos endodônticos com e sem complementação cirúrgica foram efetivos, cada um adequado para as condições individuais de cada elemento dentário.
