Objectives: Among the foot orthoses prescribed to improve postural control in chronic ankle instability, foot orthoses designed to affect both types of mechanical and functional instability have a limited research background. In the present study, a type of foot orthosis named the custom mold with a raised ridge around the perimeter was designed, and manufactured, and its effect on the dynamic posture control of the subjects was investigated. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental type in which 30 active young people with chronic ankle instability were selected from sports clubs and divided into two groups. One of these groups used custom mold foot orthoses (CFO) and the other group used custom mold with a raised ridge around the perimeter foot orthoses (CRFO). Dynamic postural control of the participants was evaluated before and after one month with the star excursion balance test (SEBT). A repeated measured statistical test was used to evaluate the obtained data. Results: Both types of foot orthoses increased the reaching distance of the SEBT, but the result of CRFO was significant in this field, so that after one month in medial (P=0.045), posteromedial (P=0.002), and anteromedial (P˂0.001) directions, significant differences were observed between the two groups. Discussion: The CRFO can put the subtalar joint in optimal conditions and change the amount of input resulting from the stimulation of the mechanoreceptors in the plantar area of the foot, thus increasing the improvement of dynamic postural control; however, more studies are needed to prove this claim.

Introduction. The relevance of the problem of the correlation between functional literacy and fundamental training of students is due to the trends in the development of modern education, the demand for approaches to improving the educational process, as well as the need to systematize and comprehend scientific views on the content and key tasks of general education. The purpose of the article is to analyze the correlation between functional literacy and fundamental training of students from the standpoint of pedagogy and psychology, to present the author's scientific position characterizing the possibility of synthesis of the approaches under consideration. Materials and methods of research. The article presents an analysis of the essence, content, results of research on functional literacy and functional training. A comparative analysis of the two approaches is carried out. There is a need to supplement the pedagogical aspect of the analysis with a theoretical, actually psychological aspect, the content of which is the establishment of patterns and mechanisms on which these approaches are based and their subsequent evaluation. The results of the study. Despite the differences in the understanding of functional literacy and functional training in Russia and abroad, there are common features of these approaches, as well as their distinguishing features are revealed. The main ones are that fundamental training is characterized, first of all, by an orientation towards the formation, primarily, of generalized, abstract knowledge and the possibilities of their transfer. Functional literacy is characterized, in many ways, by opposite attitudes: orientation towards the formation of practice-oriented, specific knowledge. Conclusion. There is a clear, complete correspondence of the paradigm of fundamental training with the “knowledge-skills- automated skills” approach, on the one hand, and a similar degree of completeness correspondence of the paradigm of functional literacy with the competence approach. The fundamental similarity of the ideologies of these approaches, the isomorphism of their basic principles and general orientation are revealed. Their comparison formed the basis for solving the problem of the ratio of fundamental training and functional literacy.

The problem for the research. Foreign-language reading provides favorable opportunities for a student’s holistic development. However, in today's teaching practice, there is a situation of mismatch between the “knowledge” ways of achieving the goals of the lesson and the emotional factor. There is an obvious contradiction between the recognition of the effectiveness of reading as a means of a personality’s spiritual development in the unity of all his/her spheres and the primacy of intellect and will in school teaching practice. Methods of investigation. 52 seventh-graders of secondary school No. 11 in Kirov (Russian Federation) took part in the experimental work. To obtain the subject results of the experiment (in the field of foreignlanguage reading), the method of calculating the success rate (V. P. Bespalko, A. N. Shamov) was applied; metasubject and personal results – the questionnaire “Formation of universal educational actions” by L. I. Timonina. Processing the results, statistical methods were used: standard deviation, t-criterion. The findings of the study. The results of the final control showed that the level of proficiency in subject educational results increased in 78% of students; metasubject – in 70%; personal – in 81%. The reliability of the results is confirmed by the use of mathematical statistics methods for subject, metasubject and personal results. Conclusion. The components of the emotional stimulus are characterized, and the effectiveness of its model in teaching foreign-language reading in a comprehensive school is proved (on the materials of the middle stage). Keywords: foreign-language reading, teaching conditions, external conditions, internal conditions, an emotional stimulus, stimulus components.

Introduction. The relevance of the research topic is justified by new trends in modern education, namely, active introduction of innovative technologies and solutions to expand opportunities and improve the quality of education. In the context of educational improvements, the focus is on searching for advanced techniques that can increase the efficiency of cognitive processing of educational information and facilitate memorization of educational material. The study aims to assess the impact that various conditions of color stimulation have on short-term verbal memory indicators (capacity, memorization efficiency, trajectories and successful learning of vocabulary items). Methods. The study involved 53 participants (15 male and 38 female) aged 18-36 years (average age 20.5 years, SD = 3.59). Short-term memory indicators were measured with the help of ten-word memorization technique and a test for memorizing numerical series. The color stimuli of the experiment included the focal colors of the 27 most popular categories among Russian speakers, the coordinates of which were determined in the CIELAB system. To develop and conduct the experiment, the HTC VIVE PRO Eye virtual reality system was used, which allowed demonstrating the experimental stimuli on the helmet screens and simultaneously record eye movements. Results. Memory span averaged 5.6±1.5 and was higher among the participants who saw dark and red-violet hues and lower among those who looked at swamp green and green stimuli. The highest efficiency coefficients for memorizing words were recorded in cases with black (median = 0.87) and dark purple (median = 0.84) color stimulation. When memorizing numerical series, the maximum coefficient was for saturated hues – red, green and fuchsia (median = 0.86). Successful memorization averaged 7.7±1.8 and reached the maximum (10) in cases with exposure to primary basic colors – black, green and blue, as well as non-primary turquoise and crimson. Cluster data analysis showed that memory indicators are most similar for the stimuli that are comparable in their impact on pupil diameter, blinking frequency and dynamics of gaze direction, namely, for light warm hues; dark hues; rich stimuli from the warm part of the color spectrum; light purple hues; red and gray-green hues. Discussion. As in previous studies, certain indicators of short-term memory were higher under the influence of ‘warm’ stimuli compared to ‘cold’ ones, but the present study did not confirm the advantage of achromatic colors compared to chromatic ones. The experiment revealed that changes in memory parameters correlate not only with the tone of color stimuli but also with their other characteristics, primarily with lightness and saturation. Conclusion. The results of this study can be applied used in educational practice to develop effective ways of improving memory performance and of memorizing information using color. Further research should regard possible gender, age and cross-cultural differences.
Moderated mediating effect of appearance satisfaction on the relationship between academic major satisfaction, self-esteem, and employment stress by airline service major students
Authors:   Hanyang Womens University, Lee Yoona , Jeon Aeeun ,   Hanseo University
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Airline service major students choose their academic major to be flight attendants after graduating from secondary education. They are therefore likely to be satisfied with the airline service major, as students can learn qualified airline service-related knowledge and skills. However, they also have higher employment stress than students majoring in other majors. This is because physical appearance is an important aspect of the job interview. It is therefore necessary to study academic major satisfaction, self-esteem, and appearance satisfaction to reduce employment stress among airline service major students. Methods. The participants in this study were 339 airline service major students from four universities. Data were collected from freshmen (31%), sophomore (14.7%), junior (28%), and senior (26.3%) students majoring in airline service. This study used SPSS Win.21.0 statistics programs to conduct the frequency test, reliability and correlation tests. For the moderated mediation analysis, ‘Model 14 of PROCESS macro ver.4.0’ was used as the statistical method. Results. First, employment stress had negative correlations with both academic major satisfaction (r = -.326, p<.01) and self-esteem (r = -.401, p<.01), while academic major satisfaction had a positive correlation with self-esteem (r = .433, p < .01). Second, appearance satisfaction was found to have conditional indirect effects on the relationship between academic major satisfaction and employment stress through self-esteem that were significant (p < .01) when the appearance satisfaction values were 4.0 (-.2218~-.0776) and 5.0 (-.3775~-.1505), respectively. Therefore, the moderated mediation effect of resilience was verified. Conclusions. This study found that airline service major students with high appearance satisfaction have decreased employment stress. The results of this study indicate that students’ appearance satisfaction should be fostered and reinforced with the goal of increasing improving airline service major students’ self-esteem and decreasing their employment stress.

Introduction. In the wake of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, universities around the world had been forced to urgently switch to emergency remote teaching (ERT) to ensure the health safety of students and staff. This situation revealed various problems, e.g., insufficient level of information infrastructure, the lack of online resources for learning, and the unwillingness of instructors to use digital educational platforms. The aim of this survey study was to explore how undergraduate students of language education programs in Russia perceived the process of transition to the ERT amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding difficulties and benefits. Materials and methods. The task force (inclusive of the two authors of this paper) of the Kalmyk State University developed the questionnaire “Attitudes of students to emergency remote teaching,” which was used in an online survey of 98 undergraduate students enrolled in five language education programs. The survey response rate was calculated to eliminate the non-response bias. Visualization of the obtained data was conducted using donut and pie charts, as well as a line graph. Results. It was found that 52,93% of the surveyed students had a positive impression about their learning amid the ERT. At the same time, the shift to the ERT reportedly did not alter the ideas about education among 47,90% of the respondents. If they were given a choice, 49,68% of the students would like to have a mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning. About 60% of the surveyed students noted that most instructors were proficient in technology at a level sufficient for effective remote teaching. More than half of the respondents (57,17%) named technical issues, e.g., Internet speed, poor connection quality, as major difficulties during the ERT. Among the advantages were named the opportunity to study in a comfortable environment (48,52%), saving time and money on commuting (43,84%), expansion of available resources and tools (43,02%), inter alia. The most popular answers regarding disadvantages of the ERT are the lack of student life and personal communication with other students (39,37%) and a large amount of independent work (32,62%). Conclusion. Language students in Russia were mostly positive about emergency distance teaching. Difficulties during emergency distance learning were related to low self-regulation, the unreliable nature of technology, and the lack of a suitable learning environment. The psychological difficulties the students encountered during this time may have interfered with their socialization and require further consideration in research.

Introduction. One of the most important issues to ensure the successful adaptation of young professionals in the labor market is to increase their professional loyalty. Loyalty is based on both the employee's satisfaction with the chosen place of work, the organization of work activities, and the value attitude to the chosen profession. The loyalty of young professionals is largely determined by the professional environment, which ensures the inclusion of young people in the profession and is based on the establishment of long-term relationships. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the loyalty of young specialists as a factor in the development of the professional environment on the example of pedagogical universities. Materials and methods. The study is based on the results of an online survey of young specialists of pedagogical universities of the CIS member states in the number of 1,285 people; the study of publications of individual authors, a review of the results of sociological research conducted by sociological organizations VTSIOM-Sputnik, ISPI RAS, etc. Data processing was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics and Microsoft Excel application software package. A descriptive method was used, the basis of which is represented by a descriptive methodology that allows quantitative explanation of the data obtained. The results of the study. The loyalty of young professionals is a complex characteristic that captures their positive attitude to their work, place of work, corporate culture, willingness to work in an organization and is determined by long-term relationships between subjects of social interaction and other aspects of the professional environment. The highest level of professional loyalty (from 6 points and above on a ten–point scale; the eNPS index for an organization from 30 to 100) is manifested in young professionals who focus on commitment and trust in the organization (a positive balance of "satisfied – dissatisfied" ratings – more than 50%), the team (80%), as well as on job satisfaction (73%). Such positions form the value attitude of a young employee and allow him to form not only his actual behavior, but also a higher perception of the value brand of the organization, therefore, interest in the results of work (the balance of assessments of professional growth prospects is 52%). Conclusion. The adaptation of young professionals in the labor market and the results of their work largely depend on how ready they are to perform their work and how successfully they are included in the professional environment. This process is assessed by the degree of professional loyalty of young professionals, as well as the responsibility of social partners to form a professional position of the individual.

The problem and the aim of the study. The main problems of employment for Russian specialists in international pharmaceutical companies and their representative offices in the Russian Federation are insufficient level of foreign language training and digital literacy. At the same time, a prerequisite for the admission of a pharmacist to work in the framework of continuing medical education is the completion of advanced training courses. The purpose of the article is to study possibilities of using digital technologies for the development of the foreign language communicative competence of pharmaceutical specialists in the context of advanced professional education. Research methods. Experimental and search work is carried out within the framework of the strategic partnership between the Vyatka State University and the NANOLEK company (Russian Federation). The experiment involves 52 pharmaceutical specialists. The use of digital technologies to enhance foreign language communication is implemented within the framework of the program "English in the field of professional communication" (144 academic hours, 4 months of training and 2 hours of final certification). MS Teams, LearningApps, eTreniki, Quizlet, etc. are used during foreign language activities. To determine the quality of preparation, the teachers developed testing which consists of 5 blocks: “Digital technologies when solving professional tasks”, “Project activity”, “Communication”, “Management”, “Analytics”. χ2 -Pearson criterion is used for statistical data processing. Results. The key feature of the program is that its structure and content are developed in close partnership between the university and specialists in the field of pharmaceutical production and engineering. The students of the experimental group use digital technologies (with official technical support) to activate foreign language professional communication, network collaboration and project activities. Statistically significant differences in the qualitative changes were identified (χ2 = 8.508; p < 0.05). In conclusion, the conditions which contribute to improving the quality of foreign language training: accumulation and analysis of the relevance of using digital technologies, expanding the knowledge of program participants, mastering the basic strategies of project work and reflection techniques are described.
That Which Does Not Kill You on Wednesday Makes You Stronger On Friday: A Bidirectional Relationship between Resilience and Time
Authors: Qin Yutian
Published: November 2023

Empirical studies on the influential factors of temporal conceptualization have evinced that emotions and personality traits involving the approach-related motivation tend to produce a preference for the ego-moving perspective. Building on this insight, the current research introduced the positive and approach-oriented trait of resilience and investigated its influence on the contextualized interpretation of movement of event in time. Results indicated that resilience correlated positively with the ego-moving perspective, such that participants with higher resilience scores were more likely to adopt the ego-moving perspective when reasoning about a temporal ambiguity than those with lower such scores (Study 1). Furthering the correlation, Study 2 made a causal inquiry and revealed that participants primed with a resilient attitude chose to perceive themselves as approaching an academically stressful event (in line with the ego-moving perspective) more frequently than did those primed with a maladaptive attitude. Finally, Study 3 examined the reverse impact of temporal perspective on resilience and the results showed that participants exposed to the ego-moving perspective-framed academic adversity tended to vicariously approach the scenario with a resilient attitude more than did those subjected to the same scenario phrased from the time-moving perspective. Taken together, the pattern of results supports the embodied cognition theory by evidencing that conceptually disparate domains may be reciprocally influenced via a shared embodied link.

Published: November 2023

Reading has long been one of the most crucial skills individuals should master to function effectively in society. Due to the revolutionary penetration of information and communication technology (ICT) into almost all aspects of human life, reading has transformed from paper-based to screen-based. Thus, facilitating students to cultivate digital reading should be one of the educational priorities. This study aims at exploring the digital reading habits of students majoring in English as a foreign language (EFL) in Indonesian context. Employing a mixed-methods design, quantitative and qualitative data were collected using an online questionnaire including close-ended and open-ended questions from 79 students of the English Language Education Study Program of Universitas Kristen Indonesia, Jakarta. The results show that a majority of the participants prefer to read in English in digital reading mode due to several reasons. Their most favorable tool for reading is smartphones. Additionally, a majority of them prefer to read at home as far as they have good access to the internet. Finally, based on the analysis of the motivational and de-motivational factors of reading, the participants’ preference towards digital reading has a stronger motivational foundation than print reading.

Published: November 2023

The establishment and growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has sparked tremendous interest in the field of writing skills, as AI writing tools have the potential to assist humans in creating and refining text. The availability of these tools may lead to a reliance on AI in writing, which raises concerns about the potential degradation of writing skills. To that extent, will the writing skill session in English proficiency tests (e.g: TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic, TOEIC) be displaced? Utilizing a phenomenological case study, the researcher interviews four experienced test administrators in North Sumatera, Indonesia, to explore their perspective regarding to the impact of AI writing tools on the applications of writing tests in English proficiency tests. Various insightful perspectives are elaborated by the participants, implicating the future of English writing proficiency tests in the age of AI. However, in case this study is conducted in Indonesia and only involves four test administrators, a wider scale of research is needed to further investigate the potential impact of AI writing tools on writing skills across various contexts and languages.

The presence of Ukraine in the legal regime of martial law, the tasks performed by the National Guard of Ukraine formations, as well as the modern conditions for the use of the NGU formations to participate in the cessation of the russian federation armed aggression determine the peculiarities of personnel individual and collective training for the successful performance of the tasks assigned to them to ensure national security . The open and large-scale war waged by the russian federation against Ukraine, the current level of the NGU's ability to perform national security tasks, defined by legislation during the right-wing martial law regime, necessitate the development of new approaches to training the personnel of the NGU units to act as part of the state security forces and defense forces. In conditions of increased tension and speed of change in the operational situation, specialized professional training of servicemen, crews (calculations) and units of battalion tactical groups acquires special importance. In the article it is analyzed the problems of substantiating the rational composition of groups of the state defense forces (including battalion tactical groups), the issue of determining the rational composition of NGU groups for the performance of relevant tasks to ensure national security, the experience of creating and using battalion tactical groups during modern wars and armed conflicts, as well as the system of training units equal to the battalion. Based on the analysis of relevant approaches and methods, the analysis of the experience of creating and using battalion tactical groups, an organizational structure scheme of NGU typical battalion tactical group is proposed, which takes into account the specifics of the implementation of the relevant NGU units. After analyzing the typical training plan of NGU battalion tactical groups, a number of weaknesses were revealed, which were taken into account when justifying the recommended improved training plan. Such an approach to training will further improve the performance by National Guard of Ukraine battalion tactical groups of tasks to ensure national security under the martial law legal regime, because the level of training and preparedness of personnel depends on the degree of performance of the assigned task, the preservation of personnel and weapons and vehicles.
ANALYSIS OF USING SMALL ARMS` CAPABILITIES TO COUNTER UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES

Published: November 2023

Improvement of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their rapid proliferation for military purposes have led to a significant increase in the role of UAVs on the battlefield, creating a problem of insufficient capabilities of air defence systems for combat units. Consequently, there is an urgent need to reconsider the concept of air defence for deployed units during combat operations. The solution of this problem is complicated by the necessity of using significant material resources, continuous improvement of both UAVs and their tactical applications, as well as the possibility of creating situations when specialized air-defence capabilities cannot be employed due to various reasons. In certain cases, due to the destruction of air-defence capabilities by the enemy, depletion of ammunition, or insufficient air-defence capabilities for a military unit, the only UAVs` countercapability can be the small arms of a unit. Therefore, despite the high potential of modern air-defence capabilities and electronic warfare systems against UAVs, in specific cases, the available small arms of a unit can be an effective air-defence capability. The main aerial targets that are most suitable for engagement with small arms fire are small UAVs (nano UAVs, micro UAVs, mini UAVs, light UAVs for frontline surveillance, light UAVs with short flight range), which at certain moments move at low speeds regarding to the aiming axis. Cases of firing with large values of the target's angle, leading to a significant decrease in firing efficiency, are not considered by the firing rules and sighting devices of small arms` main samples. As a result, the probability of hitting the target decreases several times and reaches unacceptably low values. Under such conditions, achieving a hit on the target with an acceptable probability can only be ensured by adjusting the aiming point by a certain amount, but this value is not provided in the operational documentation or training literature, thus remaining unknown to the small-arms men. Therefore, need for improving the sighting devices of small arms firing with large values of the aerial target's angle (60…90°) and development of firing rules in order to ensure effective fire against such low-altitude aerial targets are the relevant tasks.

A methodology for planning border (joint border) operations on the state border has been developed, the purpose of which is to ensure the maximum efficiency of the use of the capabilities of subordinate bodies (units), the successful execution of the received tasks within the specified time in various conditions, with rational expenditure of resources and to prevent losses of forces and means During the main (II) stage, with the receipt of an order on OSA (directives) of a higher-level management body, a decision is made to implement OSA in the next calendar year or another period, an order on OSA is issued, which is sent in the form of orders to subordinate units of state border protection . The order on OSA is the main planning document of state border protection authorities. According to the orders on the organization of the OSA, the units operate in their normal day-to-day activities. In the event of an increase in the level of illegal activity at the state border (criminal activity, illegal migration, smuggling activity, etc.), operational and preventive measures are taken to counter it. The difference from ordinary day-to-day activities consists in the involvement of a larger composition of forces and the means of concentrating them in certain areas, the strengthening of the regime and the activation of operational measures. At the same time, in general, the main regularities of the actions of the State Border Service of Ukraine, inherent in everyday activities in the area of responsibility, are preserved. Operative and preventive measures are carried out, as a rule, in the form of border service and border control of the forces and means that take part in them. Their preparation and implementation is based on the system of regime and operational measures organized to strengthen the protection of the state border in the area of responsibility of the regional administration in everyday conditions.
Ozonioterapia na Odontologia: Uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Gonçalves Maria Júlia Tavares , Guimarães Vinícius Lages
Published: November 2023

O ozônio é uma molécula constituída por três átomos de oxigênio e foi descrita por Christian Friederick Schonbien em 1840, sendo utilizada pela primeira vez na odontologia em 1950 pelo Dr. Edward Fisch. A ozonioterapia consiste na capacidade de dissociação do ozônio em água e a liberação das espécies reativas de oxigênio (ERO) que vão gerar um estresse oxidativo desencadeando processos bioquímicos como: ação antimicrobiana, analgésicas, anti-inflamatórias e cicatrizantes, além de ocasionar o aumento da oxigenação dos tecidos. Pesquisas demonstraram que a ozonioterapia na odontologia tem se mostrado eficaz no tratamento de lesões bucais, no pós-operatório de extrações dentárias, tratamento de lesões cariosas, tratamento de periodontites e em outras áreas, devolvendo a saúde bucal e qualidade de vida para o paciente. O objetivo do trabalho é apresentar as possibilidades do uso da ozonioterpaia nas diversas áreas da odontologia. Foi realizada uma busca ativa dos artigos nas bases de dados: SciELO; PubMed e Portal regional da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS Regional), presentes na língua inglês ou português nos períodos de 2011 a 2023. É preciso, porém, mais estudos sobre demais possibilidades do uso dessa terapia dentro do âmbito odontológico.

Authors: Amorim Hillary dos Santos , Santos Eliane Szücs dos
Published: November 2023

A alta hospitalar é definida como a saída do paciente do ambiente hospitalar e envolve demandas assistenciais geradas durante a internação, como os diversos ajustes medicamentosos que fragilizam a transferência de cuidado para a atenção primária, aumentando o risco de Problemas Relacionados a Medicamentos (PRMs). O farmacêutico executa a prevenção, detecção e resolução das PRMs e influencia positivamente o pós-hospitalar através de suas intervenções, como a Reconciliação Medicamentosa (RM). O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar referenciais que demonstrem a importância do farmacêutico no momento da alta hospitalar e elaborar um Procedimento Operacional Padrão (POP) baseado nas evidências científicas a fim de orientar a conduta farmacêutica no contexto da alta hospitalar e produzir um material didático que contribua na orientação farmacêutica inserido em uma instituição hospitalar. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa utilizando a estratégia PICO para pergunta norteadora, seguindo os seguintes descritores: “alta hospitalar”, “cuidado farmacêutico”, “reconciliação de medicamentos” e “segurança do paciente”. Os resultados encontrados nos artigos demonstram a importância do farmacêutico durante a alta hospitalar, diminuindo e evitando PRMs, reduzindo reinternações hospitalares e custo, proporcionando a segurança do paciente. Dessa forma, é importante que esse profissional seja incluído no processo de alta, melhorando o planejamento, diminuindo tempo de internação e garantindo o uso racional do medicamento.

A saúde dos dentes de leite é crucial para a qualidade de vida infantil, mas a cárie é comum e pode levar a tratamentos complexos. Problemas como a colaboração das crianças e a complexidade dos canais radiculares dificultam o tratamento. Assim, a instrumentação mecânica é preferida às limas manuais, pois limpa melhor os canais, acelera o tratamento e cria canais mais uniformes e previsíveis. Este estudo se propõe a revisar as vantagens e desvantagens do uso da instrumentação mecanizada no tratamento de dentes decíduos, com base em artigos científicos de fontes respeitáveis como SciELO, MEDLINE, PubMed, Springer e Periódicos Capes. Após uma pesquisa que inicialmente encontrou 575 artigos, 12 deles foram selecionados para o estudo com base em critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Esses artigos foram publicados entre 2018 e 2022, com 2019 tendo o maior número de publicações (5), seguido por 2022 (4) e 2018 (2). Um estudo de 2020 também foi incluído, mas nenhum estudo de 2021 foi selecionado, por falta de publicações neste ano. O uso da instrumentação mecanizada para tratar dentes de leite está mostrando ser promissor, oferecendo maior eficácia, segurança e precisão em comparação com os métodos manuais tradicionais. No entanto, há uma falta de estudos clínicos nessa área, destacando a necessidade de realizar mais pesquisas.

Molnupiravir (MOL) is an orally absorbed prodrug of the ribonucleoside analogue N-hydroxycytidine, which has in vitro activity against several coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1 and 2. It remains to be seen whether long term MOL has serious side effects. The side effects of MOL, which was the first to be allowed for oral use during the pandemic process, are not yet fully known. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the the mechanisms of possible dose-dependent damage on liver, lung, heart, and kidney tissues.
Fourty male Wistar albino rats were separated into four groups as Control, MOL10, MOL100, MOL1000. For five days, MOL (10-100-1000 mg/kg/day) was administered by oral gavaj. At the end of the five days rats were sacrificed and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin (TB) levels in serum were measured. Collected tissues (liver, lung, heart, and kidney) were evaluated to the malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant state (TAS), and total oxidant state (TOS), and oxidative stress indexes (OSI) were calculated. MOL administration showed significant improvement in liver, heart, and kidney in rats (p<0.05). SOD activities which were decreased in the MOL group, while MDA level increased in the MOL groups compared to the control group in all tissue (p<0.05). ALT was increased in the MOL group compared to the control group (p<0.05). Increase of TOS and OSI is statistically significant, but TAS was decreased in the MOL group compared to the control group (p<0.05). MOL used in virus treatment is dose-dependently effective on the oxidant/antioxidant system in tissues. For this reason, the use of antioxidants may be beneficial to reduce tissue damage that may occur in the use of MOL.
