Authors: Kassim A , Rahman RNARA , Hidayat MFH , Sabri BAM
Published: March 2022

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of handedness and its impact on the perceived difficulty in clinical training amongst undergraduate dental students in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a self-administered questionnaire was conducted in 5 dental schools around the Klang Valley. Samples consisted of year 4 and year 5 clinical undergraduate dental students. Information on the socio-demographic data, the determination of handedness and assesment of perceived difficulty in carrying out certain clinical procedures were collected. Results: A total sample of 347 participants of which 76.9% were females was obtained. The distribution of year 4 and year 5 students in the sample were equal. Eighty five percent of the samples were right-handed, 9.5% were ambidextrous and 5.5% were left-handed. Statistically significant difference was found between handedness groups for the combined clinical procedures variable: F (2.100), P<0.050; Wilks’ Lambda 0.823; partial-eta squared=0.093. When the procedures were considered separately, usage of hand-piece(s) during cavity preparation, caries removal using hand instrument, placing of restorative material, carving and polishing restorative material, and extraction of lower right quadrant were perceived as significantly more difficult by the lefthanders. Conclusion: Handedness significantly impacts on perceived difficulty of clinical training in areas of restorative procedure and tooth extraction.

Published: March 2022

Background: Electronic Apex Locators (EAL) has been increasingly used to facilitate working length determination in endodontics. This instrument is becoming more important to be used in addition to radiographs. A steep learning curve has existed between EAL use in the clinical, from the pre-clinical settings. Objectives: To fabricate a model that will facilitate dental students to use Electronic Apex Locator (EAL) in the dental simulation clinic and to conduct a questionnaire-based survey to investigate Electronic Apex Locator Model (EALM) effectiveness. Materials and Methods: Construction of model master jaw, EALM, using materials available in the prosthetic laboratory. The model can be mounted on the phantom head which when connected to an EAL will simulate its clinical use. A validated questionnaire was distributed to a group of n=10 pre-clinical students before and after demonstration conducted at the simulation clinic. Results: A prototype EALM was successfully fabricated at Universiti Teknologi MARA Dental Prosthetic Laboratory. with features incorporating conductive-media-chamber, with attached anatomically-correct fabricated model teeth. The teeth were constructed incorporating continuous access cavity, root canal, through to a patent apex. When attached to the jaw model, the electrical circuit was connected allowing EAL to function. Conclusion: EALM can be conveniently constructed at the Dental Prosthetic Laboratory by using materials readily available here. Furthermore, a steep learning curve exist between pre-clinical and clinical studies was bridged by the use this EALM and this allowed familiarity of clinical handling EAL. However, this study was limited by the small number of students exposed to this new method. Further prospective study is required by increasing the sample size to provide more significant results.

Published: March 2022

There are many reasons why individuals participate in sports or physical activities. There are two main types of motives for engaging in physical activities, which is intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Previous research found that the six important motives, given by student-athletes for sport participation, were achievement, body shape, physical fitness, teamwork, learning new skills and challenges. However, research comparing the difference on motives for taking part in physical activities, especially on gender is limited. The aim of this study is to find the motives of taking part in physical activities among male and female student-athletes. A hundred student-athletes Purpose of Sport Questionnaire. Seven factors were derived from the questionnaire, Mastery or Cooperation, Physically Active lifestyle, Good Citizen, Competitiveness, High Status Career, Enhance Self-Esteem and Social Status or Getting Ahead. The sample was chosen from a Malaysian university. The result showed that there isn’t any significance differences on the motives of taking part in physical activity between genders. Since the result showed that the main motive for both gender were physically active lifestyle, it is better to plan the facilities of sport to fulfill this motive. In addition, identifying the range of motives given by the result of this study, will help sports psychologists to provide adequate and variety of sports programmers to maintain interest among participants.
PATH ANALYTIC APPROACH TOWARDS DEMYSTIFYING THE KEY TRIGGERS BEHIND LIKING DIFFERENT CRICKET FORMATS – A KOLKATA BASED STUDY
Authors: Ray Subhasis , Roychowdhury Soma
Published: March 2022

Cricket has multiple international formats. This study aims to find out if gender and age have any influences on liking any formats. It delves deep into the outcome quality of a cricket match to build a construct for understanding fans’ psyche behind fondness for any formats. The same construct is used to model overall liking for each format. The study uses Chi-square test for independence to investigate the influence of gender and age group on overall liking of a format. It uses Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to establish the dimensional construct and applies Structural Equation Model (SEM) to model overall liking based on the construct.  The study finds no link between gender and liking of a format even though age group appears to influence. It establishes the construct REST comprising of Result, Excitement, Skill, Time and Money to measure overall liking for a format. Result and Skill are found to be insignificant for predicting the liking of Tests and T20 respectively whereas ODI appears to be more balanced.  The findings give a clear indication to the regulators that test matches need to be made more unpredictable and result-oriented and T20 matches less restricted and more skilful. The regulators need to strategize making the younger generation interested in test and the older generation in T20. REST can be treated as a pioneering construct that can explain fan’s expectation from a game of cricket leading to liking a format.
Isaac Díaz Pardo en Magdalena
Authors: Mariño Davila Esperanza Luz
Published: March 2022

Con el fin de desarrollar una cultura gallega libre y próspera lejos de la asfixiante dictadura franquista, así como de reanudar el contacto con amigos exiliados, Isaac Díaz Pardo escoge residir en la Argentina durante largo tiempo (1955-1968), con breves intervalos en Galicia. La estancia en Magdalena implica la creación de una popular fábrica, encargada de producir formas modernas pero enraizadas en la tradición (servicios de mesa y piezas decorativas), ensayo para la futura cerámica de Sargadelos. Asimismo, la experiencia editorial de Luis Seoane será decisiva en el origen de Ediciós do Castro y en el contacto con intelectuales argentinos; Díaz Pardo inicia su prolífica actividad literaria con dos libros publicados, previamente censurados en Galicia, uno de relatos: Unha presa de dibuxos feitos por Isaac Díaz Pardo de xente do seu rueiro [Un puñado de dibujos hechos por Isaac Díaz Pardo de gente de su barrio] (1956) y otro de teatro: Midas. O ángulo de pedra [Midas. El ángulo de piedra] (1957)

Association between serum uric acid level and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Koreans
Authors: Park Huiyul , Park Kye-Yeung , Kim Minki , Park Hoon-Ki , Hwang Hwan-Sik
Published: March 2022

Background

The association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is controversial.

Objectives

We compared the association of SUA levels with NAFLD, abnormal alanine transferase (ALT), and the degree of liver fibrosis to clarify the association of SUA levels with NAFLD.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study. Adult patients who underwent a health check-up (N = 1,343) were included for analysis. Fatty liver was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasonography. The degree of liver fibrosis was determined using the NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS). Pearson correlation analysis showed a stronger correlation of SUA level with the fatty liver index (r = 0.40, P < 0.001) than the correlation with serum ALT level (r = 0.28, P < 0.001), or NFS (r = 0.018, P = 0.51). SUA levels in patients with NAFLD and an abnormal liver function test (LFT) result were significantly higher than levels in patients without NAFLD and abnormal LFT results. By contrast, there was no significant association of SUA level with NFS grade. When age, male sex, body mass index, the presence of hypertension, diabetic mellitus, and NAFLD, abnormality of ALT level, and SUA level were included in binary logistic regression to evaluate risk factors for elevated NFS grade, hyperuricemia was not significantly associated with NFS grade (OR = 0.94, P = 0.75).

Conclusion

Pearson correlation and logistic regression together indicated SUA level is more closely associated with hepatic steatosis than abnormal liver function test or hepatic fibrosis.
Diagnostic accuracy of complete blood cell count and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, lymphocyte-to-monocyte, and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios for neonatal infection
Authors: Kurt Abdullah , Tosun Merve Sezen , Altuntaş Nilgün
Published: March 2022

Background

Complete blood cell (CBC) counts and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte (LMR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios (PLR) are simple measurements that are conducted as part of routine diagnostic procedures.

Objective

To determine the diagnostic importance, specificity, and sensitivity of these measurements for the diagnosis of neonatal infections and in discriminating between neonatal sepsis and various other infections.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study of data from a consecutive series of 232 neonatal patients admitted to Yildirim Beyazit University Yenimahalle Training and Research Hospital in Ankara for 2 years from 2016 to 2018. We included patients with a diagnosis of or clinically suspected infection, and healthy neonates were included as controls. Data included CBC counts, and bacterial culture results, considered the criterion standard for the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. NLR, LMR, and PLR were calculated. We compared data using independent Student t and Mann–Whitney U tests and determined the sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio (LHOR) of the characteristics for neonatal sepsis using receiver operating characteristic curve analyses.

Results

We included data from 155 neonatal patients with a diagnosis or suspicion of infection and 77 healthy neonates. NLR was significantly higher in neonates with sepsis or fever due to dehydration (P < 0.001) than in neonates with other infections or healthy neonates. LMR was significantly higher in neonates with sepsis or viral infection than in those with other infections or healthy controls (P = 0.003). In neonates with early-onset sepsis (EOS), we found cut-off values of ≥4.79 [area under curve (AUC) 0.845, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76–0.93, LHOR 11.6, specificity 98.7%, sensitivity 15%] for NLR, ≥1.24 (AUC 0.295; CI 0.18–0.41, LHOR 1.02, specificity 2.6%, sensitivity 100%) for LMR, and ≥37.72 (AUC 0.268; CI 0.15–0.39, LHOR 0.86, specificity 7.8%, sensitivity 80%) for PLR. We found cut-off values of ≥4.94 (AUC 0.667; CI 0.56–0.77, LHOR 4.16, specificity 98.7%, sensitivity 5.4%) for NLR and ≥10.92 (AUC 0.384; CI 0.26–0.51, LHOR 6.24, specificity 98.7%, sensitivity 8.1%) for LMR in those with late-onset sepsis (LOS).

Conclusions

CBCs, NLR, LMR, and PLR may be useful for the differential diagnosis of EOS and LOS, and neonates with sepsis from those with other infection. NLR may be a useful diagnostic test to identify neonatal patients with septicemia more quickly than other commonly used diagnostic tests such as blood cultures. NLR has high specificity and LHOR, but low sensitivity.
Divisible hypermodules
Authors: Bordbar Hashem , Cristea Irina
Published: March 2022

The article is motivated by the recently published studies on injective and projective hypermodules. We present here a new characterization of the normal injective hypermodules. First we define the concept of zero-divisors over a hypermodule and based on it we introduce a new class of hypermodules, the one of divisible hypermodules. After presenting some of their fundamental properties, we will show that the class of normal injective R-hypermodules M and the class of divisible R-hypermodules M coincide whenever R is a hyperring with no zero-divisors over M. Finally, we answer to an open problem related to canonical hypergroups. In particular, we show that any canonical hypergroup can be endoweded with a ℤ-hypermodule structure and it is a normal injective ℤ-hypermodule if and only if it is a divisible ℤ-hypermodule.

Published: March 2022

The quarry in Stará Ves near Bílovec is considered a significant geotouric attraction. The dominant feature is the front northern wall representing one of the best outcrops of the fold-thrust tectonics of the Jeseník culm. Until 1983, shale and Moravian offal were mined in the quarry, then the quarry was restored, abandoned, and left to natural succession. Inventory of vertebrates from 2009–2011 revealed 46 specially protected species. Arachnological research from 2013–2015 revealed the occurrence of 69 species of spiders, including seven taxonomically important xerothermophilic species. Botanical research was carried out at the site twenty years ago, systematic entomological research has not been carried yet. We performed an inventory of invertebrates focused primarily on butterflies, using sweeping and netting, supplemented by individual sampling and observation of other species. We also performed a botanical inventory, supplemented by an estimate of tree and bush cover to evaluate host offer and form of habitats present in the quarry. We revealed 144 species of higher plants, of which six belong to the Czech red list, and 121 species of animals, of which 102 species of insects, and 52 species of butterflies. Nineteen species of animals fell into the categories of endangerment according to the Czech red list, legal categories, or are part of some of the European directive annexes. Most of these species depend on the conservation of early succession xerothermic habitats. Their ecology is discussed in relation to possible management.

Published: March 2022

Os alinhadores são aparelhos ortodônticos que propiciam estética bucal do paciente sem tirar-lhe o conforto, liberdade para se alimentar e um manejo adequado da higienização. Com isso, o presente estudo tratou de abordar as vantagens e desvantagens decorrentes de seu uso, considerando-as sob a perspectiva da estética e funcionalidade, tendo por objetivo avaliá-las de maneira comparativa. Para isso, fez-se uso de uma pesquisa exploratória bibliográfica de caráter descritivo, tendo, por base, materiais já publicados inerentes ao tema que se encontrassem entre os anos de 2001 e 2019, no idioma português. A justificativa para essa abordagem se dá por conta dos alinhadores ser uma modalidade moderna de aparelho ortodôntico, que continua sendo amplamente divulgado e dedicado às várias idades, por isso, faz-se necessário conhecer bem seus aspectos sob a perspectiva do paciente e do profissional de saúde que o terá sob seus cuidados, já que a atualização de conhecimentos é imprescindível para propiciar melhor qualidade de vida ao paciente. Por meio do estudo, pode-se concluir que o alinhador mostra-se satisfatório de maneira geral, já que, embora apresente algumas desvantagens, a exemplo da possibilidade de alteração da fala, limitação na indicação, elevado custo e colaboração do paciente, os mesmos podem ser minimizados com o devido acompanhamento profissional. Por outro lado, apresentam algumas vantagens como correção de demais falhas dentárias, melhor higienização e alimentação, espaço curto de tratamento, conforto e estética visual enquanto o aparelho é utilizado. Portanto, nota-se que o uso dos alinhadores, embora com algumas restrições e sob a necessidade de seguir determinadas orientações, geralmente se mostra aplicável para uma série de problemas que podem ser solucionados. O indivíduo interessado pode obter a estética almejada, alcançar a autoestima, aceitar-se mais e, com isso, conquistar a melhor qualidade de vida que deseja.

Published: March 2022

O êxito nos tratamentos endodônticos depende diretamente do preparo adequado de todo o canal radicular. Anteriormente, existia grande dificuldade nesse processo, pois eram encontrados limites de flexibilidade instrumental e complexidades anatômicas. Com isso, passaram a serem desenvolvidos novos instrumentos, sendo verificada no mercado uma grande variedade desses, sendo que a informação das características e finalidades dos mesmos, bem como seu comportamento mecânico são importantes para o profissional. Estudos têm mostrado que as secções transversais dos instrumentos endodônticos afetam a flexibilidade, resistência à fratura, capacidade do poder de corte e outros fatores. É justificada a importância do presente estudo pela necessidade de materiais que sirvam de base aos acadêmicos e profissionais da odontologia, em caso de dúvidas quanto à compra de material confiável e de qualidade para tratamento endodôntico. Surgiu então o seguinte questionamento: “quais são as características ideais que as limas endodônticas manuais tipo K, ofertadas em comércio odontológico, precisam apresentar para eliminar a possibilidade de ser responsável por gerar insucesso ao tratamento endodôntico ou riscos ao paciente?”. Portanto, o objetivo geral consistiu na realização de uma análise acerca das características ideais que as limas endodônticas manuais tipo K precisam apresentar, com relação à qualidade e a confiabilidade, para que o tratamento endodôntico seja concluído com êxito. A metodologia foi de revisão bibliográfica. Concluiu-se que embora muitas empresas fabriquem limas automatizadas para o preparo químico cirúrgico dos canais radiculares, há autores que indicam o uso de limas manuais previamente às limas automatizadas, principalmente se o dente apresentar variações na anatomia radicular, como dilacerações e atresias.

Published: March 2022

O desenvolvimento de uma solução para geolocalização em ambientes internos vem sendo cada vez mais necessário para amenizar dificuldades vivenciadas por pessoas com deficiência visual. Em estudos anteriores feitos para tentar encontrar uma resposta para este problema, usou-se a metodologia baseada na identificação de etiquetas (TAG) por sensores, contudo, observou-se algumas dificuldades em relação à comunicação entre os componentes pertencentes do sistema e o usuário, sendo a obstrução dos marcadores o maior dos problemas. Baseando-se nisso, a proposta da solução foi utilizar um sistema que emprega o uso de beacons como pontos de acesso para determinar a localização do utilizador, onde, um aplicativo em um aparelho móvel será o responsável por realizar a comunicação e monitoramento destes dispositivos. A utilização deste método apresentou maior usabilidade com relação ao uso de marcadores físicos, pois necessita de menos esforço por parte do usuário no encontro dos marcadores e não possui interferências por obstrução de objetos.

Enquanto a andragogia é a educação voltada para adultos, o ensino profissionalizante é a qualificação profissional do indivíduo como meio de acesso ao mercado de trabalho. Diante disso, este artigo objetiva apresentar uma sinopse teórico-conceitual apoiada em uma revisão sistemática de literatura dos artigos referentes à utilização da andragogia aplicada no ensino profissionalizante. Para tanto, a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática na base de dados Science Direct dos artigos publicados entre 1999 e 2019. Os artigos encontrados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo mediante uma mineração textual no software Sobek, processo que resultou em categorias a posteriori, de modo que as informações foram organizadas com o auxílio do software Weft QDA para codificação dos documentos. Os resultados evidenciaram a pouca quantidade de pesquisas existentes sobre os temas “Andragogia” e “Ensino Profissionalizante”, tendo sido obtidos apenas 55 documentos na base Science Direct, o que indica que o campo para investigações acerca dessas temáticas é promissor. Na análise dos artigos, identificou-se o conhecimento como o principal fator na andragogia aplicada ao ensino profissionalizante. Além disso, a análise efetuada resultou em um mapa conceitual com os termos “conhecimento”, “processo”, “ensino” e “social”, os quais são vistos como promotores da aprendizagem de adultos e de estudantes dos cursos ou dos treinamentos profissionalizantes.

Authors: Neto Irineu Ferreira da Silva , Ricardino Isadora Ellen Feitoza , Aguiar Annalu Moreira
Published: March 2022

A utilização de agrotóxicos é uma pratica bastante difundida em todo o mundo, que possibilitou a expansão do agronegócio nos últimos anos. A manipulação desses produtos químicos leva a diversas consequências, tanto para saúde humana quanto para os animais e o meio ambiente. Diante disso, o presente estudo objetiva expor o nível de conhecimento dos agricultores sobre agrotóxicos, além relacionar os principais produtos usados no Brasil e suas implicações a saúde do trabalhador rural. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de revisão de literatura integrativa através das bases de dados: Google Scholar e Scielo, utilizando os descritores em Ciências da Saúde (decs): Agrotóxicos “Pesticides”, Conhecimento “Knowledge”, Exposição ocupacional “Occupational exposure”, Risco “Risk”  e Saúde do trabalhador “Worker's health”, combinados pelo operador booleano “AND”. O período de publicações foi delimitado entre 2015 e abril de 2020, utilizando dados encontrados em artigos em português e inglês. Os agricultores demonstram um nível de conhecimento classificado como insatisfatório em relação ao uso adequado de agrotóxicos. Muitos destes possuem uma baixa escolaridade, que provavelmente, dificulta as recomendações e práticas de segurança, associados a outros fatores. Suas principais implicações à saúde estão relacionadas a alterações na respiração, dermatológicas, hormonais, neoplasias, síndrome colinérgica, problemas na condução de impulsos no Sistema Nervoso Central, dores de cabeça e outras. Por isso, surge a necessidade de capacitar esses agricultores e disseminar mais informações acerca desses produtos no meio rural, afim de proporcionar uma melhoria na saúde destes trabalhadores.

Published: March 2022

O comportamento criminoso é relacionado a diversos aspectos psicológicos e  comportamentais. Feldman descreveu a Aprendizagem Observacional, termo que se refere às respostas adquiridas sem qualquer reforço direto para quem aprende. Os efeitos da aprendizagem operacional incluem a aquisição de novos padrões de comportamento, o fortalecimento ou enfraquecimento de inibições anteriormente adquiridas e a facilitação de respostas anteriormente aprendidas. Certamente se o modelo é um indivíduo criminoso, esse comportamento desviante pode ser observado e repetido. Esta publicação tem como objetivo lançar luz sobre este fenômeno, para que seja melhor compreendido e abordado,  e que  num  futuro próximo possamos lançar mão de ferramentas eficazes de prevenção criminal.
