A Review Over The Ergonomic Assessment Of The Women In Bead Works For A Healthy And Productive Workstyle
Authors: Melkani Ekta , Mehta Manju
Published: May 2020

Most of the families of a village Mangali in Hisar block of Haryana are involved in production of wooden beads for decades. The production process is a joint effort made by both male and female members of the family. However the works done by male members start from procurement of wood to making of beads till their marketing whereas women work to string the beads for whole days and give them finishing looks for selling in not more than 50-100 rupees per day that too only if work is available in abundance. Even the male members only get a limited selling price as all the benefits are secured by the middlemen. The women also face physiological hazards and musculo-skeletal discomforts for doing all the works sitting on floor in a bending posture. The plight of the women is so high that even after the long day seasonal field works, they are sitting over floors in a bent posture which is causing them discomforts over the body for next many days. The activities performed by the women which are related to beads are numerous in nature like jewellery, crafts, etc, and hence the postures. Squatting and cross legged are the major postures that are observed among the women in forward-bent condition and which cause them further musculo-skeletal disorders. A workstation having the facilities regarding back support, eye-level works, wrist support, storage and light requirements is suggested. The multipurpose workstation can help the women to healthy work not for the bead works only but also for other housing chores to speed the activities and enhance the productivity.

Utilizing the existing COVID-19 database, this article attempted to compare the status of infection cases and death of the four significantly affected nations of Indian subcontinent (ISC): Bangladesh, India, Maldives and Pakistan with the top 4 affected nations of the world, today. This article is also an attempt to conduct a trend analysis to predict the upcoming cases in exclusively the ISC countries. The results suggest that Pakistan and India should be well prepared in the coming one month. Finally, the needs of psychosocial support and the psychotherapeutic interventions were elucidated to help preserve the mental health of the people in this hour of crisis.
A Study on Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders among Sewing Machine Operators
Authors: . Ekta , Mehta Manju , Sharma Praveen Kumar
Published: May 2020

A musculoskeletal disorder is highly dependent on the workplace design. The workers whose job requires repetitive tasks, are more prone to this disorder. Textile industry is one of the labor intensive industries and most of its jobs require continuous engagement with the work. Sewing machine operators in this sector due to workplace design are facing high risk of health issues due to focused attention and static posture of the body. Understanding the health issues linked with continuous working hours and static posture need to be addressed. Both Government and non- government organizations need to be better involved in designing interventions targeting these people and protecting them from such health risks.The present study was conducted in Hisar district from Haryana state in which respondents were selected randomly. Total number of respondents were 60 in which 28 were males and 32 were females with objectives to assess work organization and work space design and to find out the occupational health problems and musculoskeletal symptoms among sewing machine operators. The results showed that maximum numbers of the respondents (68.4%) were took break of fixed duration and (53.4%) respondents were work along with others. Majority (43.3%) respondents were the first experience of MSK symptoms from 7 days to 12 months followed by (33.3%) respondents in 2-3 years.
TEMPESTADE DE ILUSÃO: UM DIÁLOGO POÉTICO ENTRE ÁLVARO DE CAMPOS E MÁRIO DE SÁ-CARNEIRO
Authors: Sousa Geovane Melo Emídio
Published: May 2020

O movimento modernista português rompeu com as artes e com a literatura tida como tradicionais no início século XX com sua forma inovadora influenciada pelos movimentos vanguardistas. Como exemplo disso, serão analisados a forma e conteúdo dos poemas “Ode Triunfal”, do heterônimo de Fernando Pessoa: Álvaro de Campos, e “Manucure” de Mário de Sá-Carneiro – dois grandes autores deste período - a fim de se investigar como ambos dialogam de forma inovadora com a construção de uma ilusão por meio das palavras. Técnica esta que - nos termos de Deleuze - se configura na literatura moderna como uma busca/devir – o qual a princípio parece ser bem “tempestuoso”.
Experimental and numerical analyses of buried box culverts in trenches using geofoam
Authors: Moradi Gholam , Hassankhani Ebrahim , Halabian Amir M.
Published: May 2020

In embankment construction, earth pressure on buried culverts is reduced either by placing them in a trench in the ground or by inserting a soft zone in the fill over the culvert to create an ‘induced trench’. Although the performance of both methods has been studied in the literature, there are limited findings for applying the two methods in combination. A study was therefore carried out on the earth pressure exerted on box culverts buried in a trench with a soft zone included above. Laboratory tests and numerical analyses were conducted to study the performance of the proposed combined method. A surcharge load was applied to the backfill, and earth pressure around the buried box culvert was measured. After validation of the test results by a numerical method, parametric studies were performed to investigate the effect of the expanded polystyrene geofoam properties and the culvert dimensions. The results showed that culvert installation using the proposed method significantly decreased the earth pressure applied to the walls of the buried box culvert, especially when compared to the trench-only method. Using a width 1.5 times greater than the culvert width and a low-stiffness geofoam, earth pressure transferred to the buried culvert can be significantly decreased.
Simple approach for including foundation–soil–foundation interaction in the static stiffnesses of multi-element shallow foundations
Authors: Bordón Jacob David Rodríguez , Aznárez Juan José , Maeso Orlando , Bhattacharya Subhamoy
Published: May 2020

In common engineering practice, foundation–soil–foundation interaction of shallow foundations is frequently ignored. This is presumably for cost/benefit reasons, since computationally demanding finite-element and/or boundary element models are required for that purpose, and its effects are usually assumed to be negligible. In this sense, the present paper provides a simple and inexpensive way of incorporating foundation–soil–foundation interaction through a numerically explicit stiffness matrix formulation. The necessary ingredients for homogeneous and non-homogeneous (shear modulus power-law variation with depth) half-spaces are given. The proposed approach is then applied to offshore wind turbines’ multiple suction caisson foundations (tripod and tetrapod), where it is observed that the foundation–soil–foundation interaction is significant. Its range of validity is also established, and valuable ready-to-use closed-form formulas for the correction factors of the stiffnesses of tripod and tetrapod groups are also derived. The methodology is applicable as long as the spacing between foundations is somewhat greater than the foundation depth.

Authors: DOĞU Özlem , TERZİ Banu , KUTLU Özcan
Published: May 2020

Aim: To compare two different consciousness assessment tools used in intensive care units.
Materials and Methods: The prospective observational study was conducted with a total of 29 patients who were followed up in intensive care units. GCS and FOUR scores and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores of the patients who were monitored by the same observer for 10 days in the intensive care units were measured and recorded. Mean±standard deviation was used for the values regarding total scale score means. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used for comparing total score means.
Results: GCS and FOUR scores and the mean total mRS scored of the patients on the first day were 6.95±2.25 (range, 3-11), 8.65±2.45 (range, 4-13), and 4.93±0.25 (range, 4-5) respectively. The mean total scale scores on the 10th day were 6.62±3.27 (range, 3-12), 8.13±3.44 (range, 4-13), and 4.89±0.30 (range, 4-5). A statistically significant high-degree relationship was found between the mean total scores of the patients' GCS and FOUR scores (p<0.001).
Conclusion: FOUR can be confidently used instead of GCS for the assessment of consciousness. Comparisons of GCS and FOUR score should be conducted with different patient groups and larger samples. Differences between observers should also be evaluated when comparing the scoring systems.

Published: May 2020

Background: Palliative care practice, aimed at improving psychosocial and physical quality of life without the aim of providing medical cure, is under development in our country. We aimed to reveal the implementation strategy and success of a short palliative care education program organised for health workers in our institution.
Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted at the Palliative Care Research and Application Centre of Gaziosmanpaşa University in Tokat. As part of implementation strategy, an educational program for all nurses, technicians and other hospital staff (bureau personnel and etc.) was organised. A test about palliative care was conducted before and after the education program. 4 weeks later, the same test was delivered to hospital staff who can’t attend education program. The pre- and post-test results of attending staff and the test results of non-attending staff were compared and analysed via SPSS Statistic 20 program.
Findings: There were 120 women (63,2%), 70 men (36,8%) participants in attending group and 42 women (45,2%), 51 men (54,8 %) participants in non-attending group. Rate of correct response to ‘Which of the following is not suitable for the definition of palliative care?’ question, increased 14,7 % and reached 55,8 % in attending group. The non-attending group expressed that they have learned palliative care from attending group with 73,7 % .
Conclusions:
This study showed that there is a high level of lack of knowledge about palliative care among healthcare workers and that a statistically significant level of awareness can be achieved via a brief education program.

Authors: Pott Sebastian , Wasney Michael , Khan Nadia
Published: May 2020

What follows is the protocol for performing single cell Nucleosome Occupancy and Methylome sequencing on single nuclei (scNOMe-seq). This plate-based method, which can be used to simultaneously assess nucleosome occupancy and DNA methylation in single nuclei, draws upon the approach laid out in Luo et al., 2018. Everything from the initial nuclei sorting step to the final library preparation that directly precedes sequencing is included in this protocol. This protocol is optimized for non-neuronal nuclei and can be applied to a range of different cell types (e.g., intestinal organoid, fibroblasts). This is the method we are using and it is working.

Authors: GÜL Volkan , COBAN Furkan
Published: May 2020

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L) has gained importance in the world as a major oilseed for vegetable oil. The reactions of the same sunflower genotypes to varying ecologies are different and yield and yield characteristics may vary depending on this. In this study, we were interested in understanding differential sensitivity of certain sunflower genotypes to different agro-ecological environments in Turkey. A 2-year (2015–2016) study was conducted on a clay-loam soil in a low and high altitude environment to (i) evaluate the genotype × location × year interaction (G×L×Y) for sunflower genotypes, (ii) predict yield components performance and identify high stable sunflower genotypes, and (iii) make genotype-specific management and high performing genotype recommendations within and across agro-ecological regions. The highest yield of seed and oil yield was obtained from the Coral (G1) genotypes, averaging 3558.5 and 1535.6 kg ha-1, respectively in Erzurum and from the 64LC108 (G4) genotypes averaging 2905.7 and 1267.4 kg ha-1, respectively in Samsun ecological conditions. As a result, the determination of the sunflower genotypes suitable for the region will provide the opportunity to obtain high-yield and high quality products because the soil, environment and climatic factors of the region in which they are grown are very effective in determining seed yield and oil content.
A New Player for Tackling Inequalities? Framing the Social Value and Impact of the Maker Movement
Authors: Unterfrauner Elisabeth , Hofer Margit , Pelka Bastian , Zirngiebl Marthe
Published: May 2020

The Maker Movement has raised great expectations towards its potential for tackling social inequalities by mediating technology-related skills to everybody. Are maker spaces new players for social inclusion in digital societies? How can this potential impact be framed? While scientific discourse has so far identified broad value and impact dimensions of the Maker Movement, this article adds empirical insight into the potential for tackling social inequalities. The study is based on 39 interviews with makers and managers of maker initiatives and ten self-reporting surveys filled in by maker initiative managers throughout Europe, which have been analyzed qualitatively. We found four main domains in which makers address social inclusion: First, by mediating skills and competences not only in the field of digital technologies but in the broader sense of empowering people to “make” solutions for encountered problems. Second, we found that makers actively strive to provide democratized access to digital fabrication and the knowledge on how to use them. Third and fourth, we found different ambitions articulated by makers to change society and social practices towards a society providing better opportunities for individuals. As an entry point for further research and actions, we derived a maker typology that reflects the diverse and various types of relationships to be found in the maker community. This typology could be used for exploring further collaborations between social actors and the Maker Movement. We conclude with an outlook on potential trajectories of the Maker Movement and specify which could influence the inclusion of marginalized persons.

Effect of etimizole structural analogues on protein kinase CK2, protein phosphorylation and transcription of chromatin in rat brain cortex and hippocampus
Authors: Reikhardt B.A. , Shabanov P.D.
Published: May 2020

Protein kinase CK2 is an important enzyme in the nervous system. The nuclear forms of CK2 regulate chromatin structure and gene expression, the key processes for long-term memory formation. Memory modulators, the Structural Analogues of Etimizole (SAE), were able to increase or decrease the activity of chromatin-associated CK in the cortex and hippocampus of rat brain in vitro. In vivo memory enhancers from SAE-group (3 mg/kg) stimulated CK2 activity and the transcriptional ability of chromatin in the cortex and hippocampus, starting from 30 min with a peak for 60 min and a duration up to 180 min. At these periods the memory inhibitor from the SAE-group reduced CK2 activity and chromatin transcription. It is assumed that the modulating effect of SAE on CK2 activity and transcription underlies the effects of these compounds on long-term memory.

Ischemic stroke is one of the most socially important diseases characterized by impaired cerebral circulation with focal damage of the brain tissue and decreased functionality. Despite the successes of modern pharmacology, possibilities of pharmacotherapy for stroke remain limited, and the research for new drugs with neuroprotective effects that can prevent brain cell death is still relevant. In this study we have investigated the neuroprotective activity of ubiquinol as a part of an innovative form on a rat model of irreversible 24 h-cerebral ischemia with evaluation of the mechanisms of its neuroprotective effect. Ubiquinol (30 mg/kg), administered intravenously in the acute period of irreversible 24 h focal cerebral ischemia, had a direct neuroprotective effect, characterized by a decrease in the volume of brain tissue necrosis. The protective effect of ubiquinol is due to its ability to inhibit the development of oxidative stress by the direct anti-radical action, preventing the increase in the lipid hydroperoxide content in the brain tissue adjacent to the focus of necrosis, lowering the lipid oxidation rate in plasma against under conditions of increased total antioxidant activity in the brain and blood of experimental animals. In vitro experiments have shown the ability of ubiquinol to prevent cell death in primary culture of cerebral neurons of rat brain under 4 h oxygen/glucose deprivation followed by 20 h reoxygenation.

Endometriosis is a common estrogen-dependent chronic disease in women of reproductive age; it is associated with dysregulation of the immune response, local inflammation, and increased formation of autoantibodies. The aim of the study was to investigate the profile of autoantibodies in women with endometriosis and to evaluate their diagnostic value using new modifications of enzyme immunoassay. In women with endometriosis of stage III-IV (n=39), a wide spectrum of autoantibodies was detected, mainly of class G, including antibodies to endometrial antigens (tropomyosin 3, tropomodulin 3), the enzyme α-enolase, steroid (estradiol, progesterone) and gonadotropic hormones. At the same time, the frequency of detection of IgG antibodies to tropomyosin 3, α-enolase, estradiol and human chorionic gonadotropin and their levels in patients with endometriosis were higher than in healthy women (n=26) (p

In this work, we have compared malignant and non-malignant diseases of the mammary gland using 8 proteins: HRG, MUC1, PAI-1, HSP90αA1, CDH1, ERα, PGR and IL-12. Their concentrations in the supernatants of blood cells and breast biopsies were compared in terms of spontaneous production, induced by a polyclonal activator and after exposure to biopsy samples of the HLDF differentiation factor, as well as the indices of the effect of the polyclonal activator and HLDF on the protein production. In addition, the correlation relationships of the above indicators with the expression of markers of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition: collagen type II (CII), β-1 integrin (CD29) and cadherin-E (CDH1) were studied. The study revealed statistically significant differences in the concentration of HRG in the supernatant of blood cells, IL-12 during spontaneous production by biopsy specimens, PGR production of biopsy specimens induced by the polyclonal activator, CDH1 and IL-12 production biopsy specimens exposed to HLDF. According to the influence index of the polyclonal activator and HLDF, statistically significant differences were found for CDH1production. Comparison of non-specific invasive carcinoma biopsy specimens and non-malignant breast diseases by means of the markers of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition revealed statistically significant differences in CD29 expression and the lack of differences in the expression of CDH1 and CII. This indicates the presence of cell atypia in samples of non-malignant breast diseases; it is confirmed by the recognized correlation between the production of certain proteins and the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers.

This article proposes a consideration of today’s discourses on ‘big data’ from a media archaeological point of view, confronting such discourses with those surrounding projects for large- scale image archives in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Collections of photographs, stereographs and films were thought of as trustworthy and unbiased documents, that allowed for the production of new forms of knowledge. The expectations as to the impact of such new media that circulated at the time are not unlike those formulated today with respect to ‘big data’. It is only by scrutinizing those discourses, and specifically the role attributed to media technologies, that we can understand the processes that govern the production of each medium’s bias.
Origins
Authors: Van Schie Gerwin
Published: May 2020

In this article, categorisation based on origins is investigated in the Dutch census reports produced between 1899 and 2018. Through this analysis, I will argue that the conceptual pair of autochthon and allochthon (until 2017 used to describe ‘native’ and ‘non-native’ Dutch people) is not a social construct, but rather a sociotechnical construct. Through this analysis, it becomes clear that where the category of the ‘foreigner’ at the beginning of the twentieth century was mainly related to a passport and place of birth, later national origins became a racially tainted concept. Pre-1980, counting machines at CBS only counted people’s information as selfdescribed; since 1980, computers have determined the identity of Dutch citizens. Today, governmental statistics based on the origins of Dutch people are available online for free and can be used by third parties for a variety of applications. Through this historical analysis, it becomes clear that the current practices are not the ‘standard’ way of categorisation, but rather one of the possibilities that are historically, socially and technologically situated.

RESULTS OF THE USE OF OCCLUSAL SPLINTS IN PATIENTS WITH TMJ PAIN DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME ACCORDING TO KINESIOGRAPHY DATA
Authors: Myagkova Natalia , Styazhkin Nikolay
Published: May 2020

Subject. Syndrome of pain dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint is one of the common pathologies of TMJ. Patients with this diagnosis complain of a violation of the movements of the lower jaw, discomfort and pain in the joint. The writings of many authors contain a deep and comprehensive discussion of various aspects of this problem, and scientific justification is given that TMJ dysfunction is almost always accompanied by muscle symptoms. One method of treatment is the use of occlusal splints. In this regard, the task of determining the effectiveness of eliminating muscular-articular dysfunction using individual occlusal splints is relevant.

The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of treatment of TMJ dysfunction with occlusal splints according to kinesiography.

Methodology. The kinesiographic study on the Myotronics K7 apparatus consisted of sequentially performing functional tests (opening and closing the mouth, lower jaw movements to the side) and using the method of percutaneous electroneurostimulation. In the treatment of all patients, an occlusal positioner splint was used, which was made individually in an articulator using an interocclusal register in the neuromuscular position of the lower jaw. The average treatment period was 4.5 months with monthly adjustments to the occlusal splint.

Results. As a result of treatment with the use of the occlusal splint, disturbances in the trajectory in the transverse (in 70 % of cases) and sagittal (in 65 % of cases) planes were eliminated, the position of the lower jaw in the neuromuscular position (in 100 % of cases) was normalized.

Conclusions. Treatment of patients with TMJ dysfunction using individual occlusal splints is one of the most effective ways to treat this pathology.

Published: May 2020

Background. In this article, we have studied the frequency of the combination of diseases of the oral mucosa with somatic pathology and local factors of the oral cavity of gerontological patients. A clinical dental examination of the elderly and old people who addressed to the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry in Omsk State Medical University on the basis of Omsk dental polyclinics No. 1 was carried out. Objectives ― to study the frequency of combinations of diseases of the oral mucosa with somatic pathology and local oral factors. Methods. 120 patients aged 55―85 with periodontal diseases, the oral mucosa and red border were examined. Out of those 120 people 96 ones (80 %) were women; 24 (20 %) were men. Informed consent was obtained from all patients for examination, treatment, observation and «health questionnaires» were filled out. The analysis of the personalized advisory conclusions of the local therapist is carried out. An analysis was made of the oral hygiene index, galvanic current indicators, and the indications of gerontological patients in prosthetic treatment were fulfilled. Results. An analysis of the personalized advisory conclusions by the local physician showed that diseases of the oral mucosa of gerontological patients were combined with somatic pathology. The analysis of the hygiene index revealed unsatisfactory hygiene in 72 % cases. Galvanic currents were found in the oral cavity of gerontological patients in 52.2 % cases. Conclusions. In 100 % cases, somatic pathology was combined with diseases of the oral mucosa of gerontological patients. Local unfavourable factors: poor hygiene, galvanosis, irrational denture exacerbated the course of diseases of the oral mucosa and worsened the quality of life of gerontological patients.

Published: May 2020

Subject. One of the priority areas of modern scientific and practical medicine is the study of the quality of life of patients with a dental profile. Of particular interest for the study is a group of patients consisting of elderly people. In connection with the current global trend in the implementation of socially significant labor and pension reforms, the social indicator characterizing age is increasingly becoming a priority. Overcoming social stereotypes, older people tend to take an active civic position in modern society and such factors as the absence of toothache, open smile, happy laughter, free conversation, not clouded by bad breath, the possibility of taking your favorite food in a public place, etc. etc., actively contribute to this. A comprehensive study and correction of the quality of life of the elderly and senile people can contribute to the humane implementation of social reforms carried out both in Russia and around the world, which determined the purpose of this research work. This article provides an overview of statistical information characterizing the structure of orthopedic structures used for dental rehabilitation of elderly and senile patients, describes the results of our own studies to identify the relationships between quality of life indicators and types of defects in the dentition in the studied group of patients. Methodology. The study was conducted in the form of an observational longitudinal prospective study with a double survey of respondents. An alternative version of THE ORAL HEALTH IMPACT PROFILE, OHIP 14 questionnaire was chosen as a tool for studying quality of life. Results. It has been established that defects in the dentition have a significant effect on the quality of life of elderly and senile patients. Conclusions. The study of dental morbidity is the basis for the correction of the quality of life of the elderly and senile in order to increase social life expectancy.

Object. The article presents an assessment of the effect of smoking on factors of non-specific resistance of oral mucosa by the reaction of adsorption of microorganisms by epithelial cells. Purpose. is to detect and evaluate changes in non-specific oral mucosa resistance in smoking patients. Methodology. A clinical examination of the oral cavity 120 volunteers (58 women and 62 men) aged 18 to 44 years (average age: 22, 50 ± 2.59) was conducted. Three groups 2 participants have been formed: the main group (75 people) ― smokers and the comparison group (45 people) - non-smoking volunteers. The material taken twice: in smokers - before and 15 minutes after smoking, in non-smokers (for reliability) ― initially and after 15 minutes. A sterile instrument used to cut epithelium off the mucosa portion of the inner surface of the cheek, transfer it to a slide, dry, stain and microscopy the preparations. The integrity of the epithelial cell structure, their size, the intensity of the core staining and the cytoplasm evaluated. Depending on the number of microorganisms adsorbed on their surface, the viewed epithelial cells divided into 4 categories. Results. A change in the adsorption response of microorganisms by epithelial cells indicates a negative influence of tobacco on the oral mucosa. Conclusions. Smoking negatively affects the state of local immunity ― non-specific resistance of oral mucosa. Changes in the adsorption response of microorganisms by oral mucosa epithelial cells can be used in the diagnosis and prevention of diseases of oral organs arising from smoking.
ANALYSIS OF A CLINICAL CASE OF A PATIENT WITH RED FLAT LICHEN OF THE ORAL MUCOSA ASSOCIATED WITH THE EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS

Published: May 2020

Subject. Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and mucous membranes, less commonly affecting nails and hair, the typical elements of which are papules. In the structure of diseases localized on the oral mucosa, chronic lichen planus is up to 35―40 %. A number of authors indicate the nature of the development of lichen planus in the oral cavity caused by herpes, in particular type 4 herpes virus (Epstein―Barr).

The goal is to increase the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of patients with lichen planus associated with the Epstein―Barr virus.

Methodology. This article illustrates the experience of managing a patient with exudative-hyperemic form of lichen planus associated with Epstein―Barr virus and the inclusion of antiviral drugs in the treatment regimen. The paper used clinical and laboratory methods for diagnosing the conditions under study.

Results. In the course of the observation, a positive clinical and laboratory dynamics of the conditions under study was revealed when applying the modernized treatment plan for lichen planus. The appointment of systemic and local antiviral therapy can reduce the treatment time for lichen planus on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and not resort to the appointment of local hormone therapy.

Conclusions. In order to increase the effectiveness of the therapy for lichen planus, it is necessary to conduct a study to identify specific DNA not only for Epstein―Barr virus, but also for all herpes viruses due to immunotropy and persistence mainly in the cells of the oral mucosa. The use of a systemic antiviral component reduces the treatment time for dental manifestations of lichen planus and eliminates the need for corticosteroid therapy, which improves the quality of life of patients.

Subject. This review presents a modern literature review on the clinical manifestations of severe autoimmune disease — pemphigus vulgaris, chronic genetic determinate dermatosis — by the example of epidermolysis bullosa, dermatosis — lichen planus, acute immuno-mediated disease — multiforme exudative erythema.

The goal is to conduct a systematic analysis of modern domestic and foreign literature to determine some features of the clinical manifestations of chronic dermatoses with lesions of the oral mucosa.

Methodology. A review of the studies allows us to consider the etiology and pathogenesis of the development of these nosologies, approaches to modern classification, as well as an analysis of their clinical features with an emphasis on differential diagnosis.

Results. It was noted that with combined damage to the skin and oral mucosa, the diagnosis of these dermatoses in patients does not present any particular difficulties. However, the significance of determining pathognomonic signs of damage to the oral mucosa with a particular dermatosis increases significantly with an isolated lesion of the oral mucosa, and when it is the primary and only manifestation of skin disease.

Conclusions. Undoubtedly, the principle of continuity of the interested specialties among which are undoubted - dermatovenerologists, dentists, gastroenterologists, gynecologists, neuropsychiatrists, has great prospects in both diagnosis and complex treatment. Nevertheless, for their widespread use, the local and general treatment of these patients needs to be verified, solving urgent problems of introducing and adapting modern technologies for rapid prototyping them into practical healthcare, which together will allow significant progress in their diagnosis and prevention.

El desarrollo de la Endoscopia ginecológica en los últimos años ha hecho que los procedimientos operatorios laparohisteroscópicos sean cada vez más frecuentes. Los informes escritos utilizados generalmente se orientan hacia la descripción diagnóstica y carecen de precisión en la descripción de la parte operatoria y en el resultado final. Como el pronóstico y el tratamiento de una determinada paciente frecuentemente pueden basar se únicamente en lo anotado en el informe, es indispensable utilizar un documento descriptivo que sea lo más exacto posible. Se presenta un modelo de Informe en Endoscopia Ginecológica, recomendado por la Comisión permanente en Endoscopia Ginecológica de la Sociedad Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología y se explican sus ventajas.

Published: May 2020

Student learning outcomes are influenced by several factors. One of them is learning motivation. This research is a descriptive and correlation study that aims to describe and analyze students' learning motivation based on gender and academic ability. The sample of this study was grade 10th students of senior high school in Kupang City, namely: SMAN 5, SMAN 4, and SMAN 1. The determination of school samples and class samples is done by random sampling. The research instrument used the MSLQ motivation questionnaire that was developed and validated by Duncan and McKeachie (2005), while the data of learning outcomes obtained from summative test scores . The results obtained that the average motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) of students: 1) women are higher than male students, and 2) academic ability is higher than students with lower academic ability, and 3) Extrinsic motivation has a very significant correlation with intrinsic motivation and results learning, for gender and academic ability.The results of this study indicate that an appropriate learning strategy is needed in order to minimize gender differences and academic ability to foster student learning motivation which ultimately impacts on learning outcomes.

Abstract: Aedes aegypti L. is a mosquito carrying dengue virus that causes dengue fever, especially in Southeast Asia which is a tropical rain forest region which is a habitat for mosquito growth. Aedes aegypti L. mosquito control is carried out by chemical means of fogging and using abate but this control actually causes Aedes aegypti L. mosquitoes to become resistant or immune to chemical drugs so that a new breakthrough is created by making bioinsecticides biologically to eradicate the Aedes aegypti L. mosquito. with characteristics that are environmentally friendly and do not kill non-target animals and cause the Aedes aegypti L. mosquito not to become resistant. To be able to realize this desire so that the sugar cane granules extract of Annona squamosa L. containing active compounds in the form of annonain and squamosin so that they are toxic to Aedes aegypti L. mosquito larvae. Further research is to test the heating temperature level of the granules of Annona squamosa L. extract temperature of 40 ° C and 60 ° C which is more deadly of Aedes aegypti L. mosquito larvae. This research method uses a completely randomized design with four repetitions. The temperature of 60 ° C uses concentrations of 1 ppm, 6 ppm, 12 ppm, 18 ppm, 24 ppm and 30 ppm. As for the temperature of 40 ° C using concentrations of 1 ppm, 7 ppm, 14 ppm, 21 ppm, 28 ppm, and 35 ppm, each temperature compared with aquadest and abate. Data analyzed using probit analysis to determine the LC50, then followed by a statistical test paired sample T-test with SPSS to find out a significant difference between heating temperatures of 40 ° C to 60 ° C. These results then show that a higher temperature of 60 ° C has a higher level of toxicity compared to a lower temperature of 40 ° C.

Some types of Anura have a narrow range of environmental parameters, so they can’t survive in environments where natural conditions change dramatically. Therefore, Anura has the potential to be a good environmental bioindicator. The purpose of this research is to identify the types of Anura found at University of Jember. This research is included in the survey research using direct observation method VES (Visual Encounter Survey). Observations were made of adult members of the Anura Order. Data taken includes species characteristics, abiotic factors such as temperature and humidity, and activity when found. The results showed at Jember University there were 4 species from 3 family members of the Anura order, namely Duttaphrynus melanostictus Schneider, 1799 (Bufonidae), Polypedates leucomystax Gravenhorst, 1829 (Rhacophoridae), Fejervarya limnocharis Gravenhorst, 1829 (Dicroglossidae), and Occidozyga sumatrana Peters, 1877 (Dicroglossidae). The species most commonly found is Duttaphrynus melanostictus which is found in almost every observation location. Environmental factors that support the existence of Anura members in that location are temperature and humidity, and environmental conditions.

Crabs are macrobenthos with characters that are attached to or resting on a base or live on basic sediments. The role of crabs in the ecosystem includes converting nutrients and enhancing mineralization, increasing the distribution of oxygen in the soil, helping carbon life cycles, and providing natural food for various types of aquatic biota. This research was conducted in the estuary area of ​​the Meru Betiri National Park (TNMB) Resort Bandealit. Identification results from 37 individual crabs at the Estuary Resort Bandealit Meru Betiri National Park (TNMB) obtained 5 species from 2 families (Portunidae and Sesarmidae). In the family Portunidae, there are 3 types, namely Scylla tranquebarica, Scylla paramamosain, and Scylla olivacea. Whereas in the family Sesarmidae found 2 types, namely Parasesarma pictum and Parasesarma cognatum.

Regardless of the extensive availability of mouth rinses that claim to whiten teeth, evidence of achievement of such effect is still missing. Aim: Therefore, this study assessed in vitro the whitening effectiveness of whitening mouth rinses. Methods: Sixty intact bovine incisors were embedded in acrylic resin and had their buccal surface flattened and polished. Then, the specimens were randomly allocated to three conventional (Colgate Plax, Cepacol and Listerine Cool Mint) and three whitening mouth rinse groups (Colgate Luminous White, Cepacol Whitening and Listerine Whitening Extreme) (n=10). Following, the specimens were immersed twice a day in the mouth rinses for one minute for 28 days. In between each immersion period, the specimens remained in artificial saliva at 37oC. Color was measured at baseline, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days using a portable spectrophotometer (Easyshade, Vita Zahnfabrik, Germany) with a 6 mm of diameter probe. Color change was analyzed considering the parameters of ∆L*, ∆a*, ∆b* and, ultimately, ∆E*. The whitening efficacy of the mouth rinses was analyzed using the Whiteness Index for Dentistry (WID). Data of ∆s was analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α=0.05). Results: The type of mouth rinse affected significantly all the ∆ parameters (p<0.05). A non-whitening (conventional) mouth rinse produced the highest ΔE*, followed by the three whitening mouth rinses. The application time also affected ΔE* (p<0.05), with emphasis on the third week of treatment. Only the hydrogen peroxide-containing mouth rinse (Listerine Whitening Extreme) presented a whitening effect, with an increasing trend over time. Conclusion: Although the overall color change was not different when comparing conventional and whitening mouth rinses, the hydrogen peroxide-containing whitening mouth rinse produces an increasing whitening trend over time. Not every mouth rinse that claims to whiten teeth produces the desired effect.
