Authors: Diniz Débora Fernandes , Deberaldini Cleber Calixto , Silva Débora Rocha Afonso
Published: December 2023

O TDAH afeta cerca de 5% da população adulta sendo manifestado através de distúrbios emocionais, quadros de desatenção e/ou hiperatividade e impulsividade, resultando em prejuízos sociais, acadêmicos e profissionais. A nutrição vem sendo estudada como mecanismo para melhor gerenciamento dos sintomas do TDAH devido a ineficácia, a inacessibilidade ao tratamento tradicional e a seus efeitos a curto e longo prazo. A presente revisão teve por objetivo analisar intervenções nutricionais e identificar a eficácia da suplementação de vitaminas, minerais, aminoácidos e ácidos graxos essenciais, na melhora dos sintomas do TDAH em adultos. Para tal, a busca consistiu por ensaios clínicos publicados nos últimos dez anos (2012-2022), realizados em adultos (≥ 19 anos) e que tratem de alguma intervenção nutricional (nutrientes, fitonutrientes, nootropicos, minerais, vitaminas, entre outras). A busca foi estruturada nas bases de dado Medline (PubMed) e Cochrane, totalizando 780 artigos analisados e treze selecionados. Os resultados apontam efeitos potencialmente benéficos no tratamento da sintomatologia do TDHA para: ômega-3, sal de magnésio L-treonato, triptofano, vitaminas do complexo B e vitamina D. Fatores limitantes nos estudos analisados foram: número amostral de pacientes pequeno, diferenças nas características da amostra e heterogeneidade metodológica entre os estudos.  Apesar dos resultados observados serem relevantes e promissores, mais pesquisas são necessárias para avaliar sua confiabilidade.

Authors: Bijl Peter K. , Brinkhuis Henk
Published: December 2023

Abstract. It is with great pleasure that we introduce palsys.org (https://palsys.org/genus/, last access: 8 December 2023), a fully open-access taxonomic, stratigraphic and image database of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts. Palsys.org started as the in-house database of the Laboratory of Palaeobotany and Palynology (LPP) Foundation over 30 years ago. It is now owned by Utrecht University and has been expanded and transformed into a public online platform for use in research and education. Palsys.org includes the taxonomic descriptions of genera and species of organic walled dinoflagellate cysts, from the (often translated) literature, and emendations and synonymy, mainly following Williams et al. (2017) and the stratigraphic calibrations from DINOSTRAT (Bijl, 2022), and has around 25 000 images of species. Here, in this launch paper, we explain the history of the database, present its current functionalities and explain our set-up of the data quality control. We call upon the community to help us keep palsys.org up to date and complete by, for example, by sending additional information, imagery and feedback in general through the platform. Palsys.org brings dinoflagellate micropaleontology in line with the open-science principles of modern academia.

Authors: BADALYAN MERI
Published: December 2023

The Information Technology sector has
been the fastest-growing and the most dynamic segment in the
global economy over the past decade. Recognising its potential,
the Government of the RA, on December 28, 2000, the
government of the Republic of Armenia designated information
technology industry as a priority sector for the contry’s economic
development. The rapid advancements within this sector have
reshaped the motivations driving IT employees, resulting in high
work efficiency. Studies on traditional approaches to employee
motivation, as well as specific research on the motivation of IT
specialists in the RA, show that the work motivation of the
employees of the RA IT sector and the influencing factors are
constantly evolving. This makes it imperative for human resource
management specialists and employers to monitor these changes.
Taking into account that the level of remuneration for work in the
IT sector is the highest in the RA, it is obvious that individual
approaches to motivation are necessary. This includes regular
reviews of incentive packages, as well as staying attuned to the
latest trends in motivational systems employed by both local and
international organizations.
This paper is dedicated to the study of the characteristics of
the work motivation of the employees in the RA IT sector and the
identification of the factors affecting them.
Հարկային օրենսդրության բարելավման մի շարք հարցեր / Several Issues in Tax Legislation Improvement
Authors: MNATSAKANYAN HAYK , MIKAYELYAN GABRIEL
Published: December 2023

The
adoption of the Tax Code of the Republic of Armenia (October 4,
2016, hereinafter referred to as the Code) made it possible to
replace a number of tax-related laws, thereby fostering
constructive communication among parties involved in tax
relations.
This legal framework determined the fundamental principles
of the RA tax system, defined key concepts like "tax" and
"payment", specified tax types, identified the range of taxpayers,
established tax rates, and provided guidelines on the calculation,
payment and in cases specified by the Code, collection of tax
liabilities, as well as tax benefits. Prior to the adoption of the Code,
specific instances were defined when VAT amounts were not
eligible for offset. In particular, with the adoption of the Code
from January 1, 2020, business entities were given the opportunity
to offset negative differences in VAT amounts.
At the same time, significant gaps still persist in the Code, the
correction of which will contribute to the further improvement of
tax relations. In particular, there are misunderstandings
regarding the application of the provisions of the Code and the
Law on Commerce and Services in relation to certain articles
relating to trade discounts. For the purpose of making
clarification, it is proposed to bring the indicated articles of this
Law in line with the requirements of the Code.
It is also proposed to determine the rates of stamp duty
applicable for individuals, individual entrepreneurs and notaries.
ՀՀ տնտեսական առաջընթացն ապահովող հիմնասյուները գլոբալ աշխարհաքաղաքական տեղաշարժերի պայմաններում / Main Pillars Ensuring Economic Progress of the RA Amid Global Geopolitical Shifts
Authors: MELKUMYAN MIKAEL , PARSYAN SUREN , ARAKELYAN ARTHUR , MELKUMYAN ZARUHI
Published: December 2023

Global geopolitical shifts that took
place in 2022 significantly changed the patterns and rules of
global economic life, resulting in problems of economic security
in almost all countries. These uncertain perspectives of economic
development also impacted our country. On the one hand, some
elements of revitalization of economic life are emerging, on the
other hand, new risks are appearing. Having an underdeveloped
economy, the Republic of Armenia faces both positive and
negative consequences of the above-mentioned economic
changes to a great extent. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to
study and improve the main directions that will ensure the
tangible economic progress of Armenia. Different directions of
economic policy should be coordinated. Otherwise, their
effectiveness can be very low. Currently, Armenia’s economic
growth is driven by sectors such as construction, IT, industry,
banking and catering. While some Armenian IT startup
companies achieved success internationally, it should be noted
that the number of startup companies developing global solutions
and entering international markets is very small, which does not
contribute to the faster and more stable development of the
ecosystem.

POSSIBILITIES OF USING EVERGREEN SPECIES IN EXTERIOR DECOR
Authors: Mandă Manuela , Ilie Daniela
Published: December 2023

In our country's conditions, most herbaceous and deciduous ornamental plants lose their ornamental qualities during the cold season, and the landscape becomes dreary. In these circumstances, the group of evergreen ornamental plants, also known as evergreens, provides color and texture in landscaping due to their leaves that remain green throughout the year. Although the concept of an "evergreen" garden often brings conifers to mind, in landscape design, the association of species belonging to a single plant group is avoided due to visual monotony. Therefore, in this type of permanently green garden, and not only, the combination of conifers with other groups of species with persistent foliage (deciduous trees and shrubs, evergreen herbaceous perennials, succulents) is essential. Based on these considerations, our work aims to create landscaping solutions that include this variety.

CONTRIBUTION TO THE GENUS SYMPETRUM NEWMAN, 1833 (ODONATA, ANISOPTERA) FROM SW ROMANIA, WITH A GENERAL DISCUSSION ON SYMPETRUM SPECIES
Authors: Babalean Anda Felicia
Published: December 2023

The paper presents the results of an exploratory research on the genus Sympetrum in two regions in the SW part of Romania (Timiș Plain and Oltenia region), in terms of the faunistic account, species distribution and comparative morphology. The variable, constant and distinctive characters are given for each species. The variability of some taxonomic characters – pterostigma, the male accessory genitalia and the vulvar scale is compared with data from the available literature. The analysis reveals that pterostigma variability and set (combinations) of morphological characters (legs and vulvar scale) go out of the current knowledge, questioning their taxonomic value. A discussion on Sympetrum species is provided from the perspective of the classical principles of systematic zoology: the biological species concept, the reproductive isolation of species, species delimitation, speciation.

The Effect of Proficiency on Strategic Planning: What Difference Does It Make?
Authors: Nicholson Simon James , Sulit Gladys Latido
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the role of proficiency in task-based planning studies within a psycholinguistic cognitive processing framework. Through mixed-methods research, a narrative task was used to examine the effects of planning time on the fluency, accuracy, and complexity of language production and explore the allocation of learners’ attention during planning time between two sets of language proficiencies in a Sultanate of Oman Foreign Language (EFL) context. The methodology employed a within-subjects design with two levels of planning conditions (strategic and pressured on-line), and a between-subjects design with two levels of proficiency (low-intermediate and high-intermediate). The results of both quantitative and qualitative analysis show that different proficiency levels interact differently to planning time. This has implications for both previous task-based planning studies and in attaining balanced inter-language development in the EFL classroom.

Cada camada de 2 mm de espessura de resina inserida foi fotoativada com uma unidade fotoativadora LED com 900 mW/cm2por 20 s. Os espécimes foram polidos com o sistema Sof-lex Pop-On (3M ESPE). A cor foi aferida com um espectrofotômetro digital portátil Easyshade (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen), com base nos eixos tridimensionais do sistema CIEL*a*b*, e sua diferença entre as resinas foi determinada em cada eixo, calculando o seu respectivo ∆ (∆L*, ∆a* e ∆b*) e os parâmetros de variação total de cor ∆E* e ∆E00. A diferença de cor entre as resinas em cada eixo foi analisada estatisticamente pelo Teste t de amostras independentes (α=0,05), além de considerar os limiares de 50%:50% de perceptibilidade e aceitabilidade da variação total de cor. Diferenças estatisticamente significativas foram observadas no ∆L* e no ∆b* (p<0,001). Os valores de ∆E foram de três a quatro vezes superiores ao limite de perceptibilidade e em até duas vezes ao limite de aceitabilidade da variação total de cor. Verificou-se que diferenças importantes de cor podem ocorrer em resinas da mesma cor, porém, de fabricantes diferentes. Essas diferenças podem ser visualmente perceptíveis e acima dos limites de aceitabilidade, podendo comprometer o resultado estético da restauração.

Dentes supranumerários são caracterizados como um excesso no número de dentes da série normal. Os mesiodentes, definidos pela sua localização mediana aos incisivos centrais superiores, referem-se ao tipo de dente supranumerário mais comumente encontrado na cavidade oral, normalmente intraósseo e assintomático. A presença desses dentes pode ocasionar alterações na dentição permanente, mas a abordagem cirúrgica na fase da dentição mista mostra resultados satisfatórios no alinhamento dental espontâneo. Em pacientes pediátricos, a sedação consciente com óxido nitroso tem demonstrado ser uma alternativa segura e eficaz no controle do medo e da ansiedade. Objetivo: relatar um procedimento cirúrgico de remoção de dois mesiodentes em paciente pediátrico sob anestesia local associada à sedação com óxido nitroso. Relato de caso: paciente do sexo feminino, 11 anos de idade, necessitava de remoção cirúrgica de dois dentes supranumerários localizados em região anterior de maxila. Com a avaliação da tomografia computadorizada, pôde-se observar a posição em que ambos se encontravam. Realizou-se também a exodontia do elemento dentário 14, como solicitado pela ortodontista, para posterior continuidade do tratamento ortodôntico. Devido à complexidade cirúrgica e ao tempo operatório, considerando a idade da paciente e o possível aumento nos níveis de ansiedade, optou-se pela realização de sedação consciente com óxido nitroso. Conclusão: clinicamente, dentes supranumerários podem causar danos locais. O tratamento cirúrgico associado à sedação consciente mostrou-se bastante seguro e efetivo no controle comportamental, além de poder ser implementado na rotina ambulatorial. Palavras-chave: cirurgia bucal; dente supranumerário; sedação consciente; óxido nitroso.

Published: December 2023

Objetivo: verificar a relação da condição de cárie da criança com a experiência autopercebida de cárie da mãe através de um estudo observacional transversal. Métodos: O estudo foi realizado na Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Pelotas com crianças entre 8 e 11 anos e suas mães. A amostra contou com 105 pares mãe-filho. Os responsáveis responderam um questionário relacionado à situação socioeconômica e demográfica, a mãe respondeu sobre sua saúde bucal: experiência de cárie (restauração ou dente cariado) e perda dentária por cárie.). Nas crianças os desfechos foram avaliados através de exame clínico com a soma de dentes decíduos e permanentes cariados, perdidos e obturados (ceod/CPOD) e para severidade de cárie foi utilizado Significant Caries Index (SiC), ceod/CPOD≥3. Para testar a associação entre as variáveis relacionadas à mãe e o desfecho severidade de cárie foi realizado o teste Qui-quadrado, para média de cárie na criança (ceod/CPOD) foi utilizado o Teste Mann-Whitney.  Resultados: Com relação à severidade de cárie não foi encontrada associação estatisticamente significante. A média do ceod/CPOD foi quase três vezes maior nas crianças cujas mães relataram que haviam tido ou estavam com algum dente cariado ou restaurado em função da cárie em comparação àquelas que não relataram esta experiência. As mães mais jovens apresentaram filhos com maior média de cárie do que as mães mais velhas. Conclusão: Entre as crianças atendidas neste serviço existe uma relação de uma maior média de cárie nas crianças com cujas mães tem ou tiveram experiência de cárie e mais jovens.

Authors: Bello Mariana De Carlo , Pauletto Guilherme , Martins Helamã da Silva
Published: December 2023

Objetivo: revisar a literatura sobre as principais patologias virais associadas à área odontológica, tais como varicela, herpes zoster, sarampo, mononucleose infecciosa, síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (Aids), hepatites virais e infecções associadas ao herpes-vírus simples (HSV) e ao papilomavírus humano (HPV), com o intuito de descrever as manifestações orais relacionadas a essas patologias e informar e esclarecer aos profissionais da área odontológica os riscos e os cuidados durante a prática clínica. Métodos: foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados Google Acadêmico, SciELO, LILACS e PubMed sobre o tema infecções virais na prática odontológica. Foram incluídos nesta revisão 31 artigos, publicados no período de 2000 a 2020. Também foram utilizados como fonte bibliográfica 4 livros que abordavam o assunto em questão. Revisão de literatura: o consultório odontológico é um local propício à propagação de agentes biológicos patógenos causadores de infecção, nos quais se incluem os vírus. O profissional da área deve adotar medidas de biossegurança para evitar possíveis infecções. As precauções universais eficazes na redução do risco ocupacional baseiam-se no uso de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPIs), na prevenção da exposição a sangue e fluidos corpóreos, na prevenção de acidentes com instrumentos perfurocortantes e no descarte adequado dos resíduos contaminados. Considerações finais: as infecções virais representam um assunto relevante para o odontólogo, pois, além de serem transmissíveis por vários meios, também apresentam manifestações orais. Dessa forma, o cirurgião-dentista deve ter conhecimento suficiente sobre o tema para nortear a sua conduta clínica.Palavras-chave: infecções virais; doenças transmissíveis; riscos ocupacionais.
Dentifrícios branqueadores contendo Blue covarine: revisão sistemática
Authors: Oliveira Rafaela Silva , Campos Elisângela de Jesus
Published: December 2023

Introdução: Estão disponíveis no mercado dentifrícios branqueadores contendo Blue covarine ao qual é creditado um efeito branqueador promovido por alterações ópticas nas superfícies dentárias pela deposição de uma fina película de tonalidade azulada sobre o esmalte. Objetivo: Revisar a literatura para verificar se existe evidência científica conclusiva sobre o efeito branqueador do Blue Covarine em tecidos mineralizados e materiais restauradores estéticos. Materiais e métodos: Para a revisão sistemática da literatura foram feitas buscas nas bases de dados Medline/PubMed, LILACS e Scielo para identificar estudos clínicos e laboratoriais que avaliassem a ação branqueadora do agente óptico Blue covarine.  Foram utilizadas as palavras-chave “Blue covarine e pasta de dentes”/ “Blue covarine and toothpaste”, “Blue covarine e dentifrícios”/ “Blue covarine and dentifrices”, “Blue covarine e dentifrícios branqueadores”/ “Blue covarine and  whitening dentifrices”, “Blue covarine e dentifrícios clareadores”/ “Blue covarine and  bleaching dentifrices” encontradas no DeCs e MeSH, a fim de restringir a busca dos estudos obtendo resultados mais precisos. Resultados: Dois pesquisadores analisaram criticamente e selecionaram todos os 22 artigos, sendo 6 estudos clínicos, 14 estudos laboratoriais e 2 revisões da literatura. As pesquisas apresentaram divergências quanto ao desenho do estudo, métodos, amostra, parâmetros clínicos e laboratoriais e na sua maioria apresentavam conflitos de interesse. Conclusão: O Blue Covarine presente nos dentifrícios branqueadores parece ser efetivo na promoção do branqueamento dentário apenas quando associado aos agentes abrasivos presentes nas formulações, evidenciando que  ensaios clínicos e laboratoriais, com metodologias semelhantes, são necessários para se obter evidência científica conclusiva sobre o efeito deste agente óptico.

Published: December 2023

This cross-sectional study aimed to describe the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) in people living with HIV (PLHIV) over 50 years old and explore its association with sociodemographic, medical, and oral characteristics. Data from 59 PLHIV were collected, and the periapical area of 1018 teeth was evaluated through periapical radiographs (Rx) using Periapical Index (PAI). Presence and quality of root fillings and restorations (coronal fillings and crowns) were also assessed in the Rx; presence of caries was based on Rx and clinical data. Viral load (VL) and T-CD4 count were also evaluated. The prevalence of AP in individuals was 71%, and 8% of the teeth presented AP. Family income >5 Brazilian minimum wage (OR=0.06, 95% CI=0.005-0.62) and having at least one root-filled tooth (OR=14.55, 95% CI=1.45-145.72) were associated with the prevalence of AP, whereas VL and T-CD4 were not. The presence of caries, root filling, and restorations were associated with the presence of AP in a tooth. PLHIV presented a high prevalence of AP, but intrinsic factors related to HIV infection were not associated with AP in the studied subjects. PLHIV would benefit from oral health policies to prevent AP, as the results indicates that the endodontic disease in the present sub-population could be related to social problems.
Birinci Mecliste Bilinmeyen Bir Yapılanma: Selameti Umumiye Komitesi
Authors: Yardımcı Muzaffer
Published: December 2023

"One of the characteristics of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, which was opened on April 23, 1920, was that it was a ""partyless assembly"". However, in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, consisted of many groups such as TBMM’de Anadolu Rumeli Müdafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyeti, Halk Zumresi, Mudafaa-i Hukuk Zumresi, Tesanut Group, İstiklal Group, İttihatcı Group and Islahat Group. This situation made it very difficult to make quick decisions in the parliament. Although Mustafa Kemal Pasha established the Anatolian-Rumeli Mudafaa-i Hukuk group to end the divisions in the parliament and transform the parliament into a regular and disciplined structure, harmony could not be achieved within the parliament. To facilitate the functioning of the Assembly and to speed up decision-making processes, a group of members within the parliament, Mustafa Kemal Pasha headed a secret organization. This group was organized in the homes of its members to meet to determine the laws and articles they want to bring to the agenda of the Parliament; and to consider and conclude on the issues to be discussed. After the discovery of this secret structure, the opposition ranks, influenced by the French Revolution, named this group the Committee of Selâmet-i Umumiye. It has not received much attention so far. Therefore The Selameti Umumiye Committee, which has not been sufficiently researched, is analyzed for the first time in this study as a stand-alone article."
