Published: September 2024

Introduction: Corrective surgery for craniosynostosis presents several challenges to students during their training, with obtaining practical experience being one of the main obstacles. The neurocranium is formed by the bony structures that surround the brain, thus ensuring its protection. During the first years of life, the baby's skull grows exponentially. Understanding the normal growth and development of the cranial shape is essential for monitoring cranial development, detecting abnormalities, and evaluating the long-term results of craniosynostosis surgery.
Objectives: To study the cranial volume gained after surgical treatment of craniosynostosis using 3D printing technology.
Methodology: 26 patients who underwent craniosynostosis surgery, from 2019 to 2022 were selected. Preoperative, immediate, and late postoperative (3 months) tomography examination was performed. Reconstructing the exams using the Blender program with cranial volume calculation. 3D printing of skulls using Sethi 3D printer. Evaluation of results using Student's t-test with independent samples.
Results: The study involved 26 patients, with ten presenting scaphocephaly treated with Renier's "H" cranial remodeling, five with trigonocephaly, five with plagiocephaly, and two with brachycephaly treated with front-orbital advancement (FOA). Cranial volumes were measured before and after surgery. For patients undergoing Renier's "H" treatment, there was an average increase of 224 cm³ between the late postoperative and preoperative stages, with smaller differences between the immediate postoperative and preoperative stages. For those treated with FOA, the average difference between late postoperative and preoperative stages was 138.8 cm³, while between immediate postoperative and preoperative stages was 129.7 cm³.
Conclusion:  Cranial volume gained by patients undergoing Renier's h technique and Fronto-orbital advancement is significant, showing that it may be possible to use less invasive techniques to take advantage of patients' natural volumetric gain.

Introduction: In this work, we demonstrate a modification in the frontal advancement technique, using a hydroxyapatite “morceau”, through a series of cases.
Technical note: The technical improvement consists of applying a piece of solid hydroxyapatite, freely cut and molded, under the fronto-orbital band, ensuring the advancement of the band itself, as well as facilitating early reossification. The service's experience, through a series of 20 cases, reflected good outcomes, guaranteed by frontal reossification in all cases. There were no complications associated with the new technical stage in any of the cases in the series.
Conclusion: Therefore, the results favor the use of hydroxyapatite Morceaux as an advantageous strategy for the treatment of craniostenosis with frontal advancement.
Editorial: Craniosynostosis
Authors: Furtado Leopoldo Mandic
Published: September 2024

In this edition of Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery, which is entirely dedicated to craniosynostosis, we are pleased to present the foremost evidence on the foundations, concepts, diagnosis, and treatment modalities of this condition, based on well-designed studies in this field.
Craniosynostosis is a rare congenital condition caused by the premature fusion of one or more skull sutures, leading to deformities in head shape, intracranial hypertension, and potentially negative impacts on neuropsychological development. Medical students, neurosurgery residents, young neurosurgeons, and even more experienced neurosurgeons should be aware of the various aspects of this condition to enhance early detection, improve treatment recommendations, and ultimately, the patient's quality of life.
Currently, advancements in fields such as genetics, neurosciences, and surgical techniques have resulted in reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and improved cosmetic and neuropsychological outcomes. Therefore, we aim to disseminate valuable information on the state-of-the-art research in craniosynostosis to stimulate the development and consolidation of evidence based approaches and guide pediatric neurosurgeons in their decision-making.

Authors: Firdaus Adhy
Published: September 2024

Context: The image above indicates that if the researcher decides to formulate a Green Recruitment variable argument, it can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on employee performance. Then the researchers modified this variable into Green Recruitment by adding Environmental & Natural elements with the aim of creating a company that upholds Sustainable Development.
 
Objective: The main objects in this article are Green Recruitment, Employee Performance, and Green Training which are formulated by Green Recruitment as an Independent variable, Green Training as a Moderation variable, and Employee Performance as an Independent variable.
 
Method: This research is quantitative research with an exploratory approach which uses a number of previous studies, especially the five studies mentioned above and the addition of two other studies regarding Green Recruitment. The data used in this research is primary data that researchers obtained from PT. Musi Hutan Persada in Indonesia has 300 employees. These data were analyzed using the smart PLS 4.0 analysis tool.
 
Results: The Green Recruitment variable can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on Employee Performance. This is because the P-Values in the first row are positive and are below the 0.05 significance level, namely 0.043. Apart from that, in the next row the P-Values also point to positive and are below the 0.05 significance level, namely 0.000. These results indicate that the Green Recruitment variable can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on employee performance and the Green Training variable can strengthen the influence of the Green Recruitment variable on employee performance. These results are due to recruitment which has a high nuance in protecting the environment, usually has high social sensitivity and concern and ultimately improves employee performance. The resulting employee performance is not just ordinary employee performance like employee performance in other studies, but employee performance that is nuanced and combined with aspects of caring for nature and the environment. Therefore, the first and second hypotheses in this study can be accepted.
 
Contribution: The researcher's great hope is that this article can be used as one of the main references in Human Resource Management scholarship, especially those closely related to Green Recruitment, Green Training and Employee Performance. Apart from that, it is hoped that this research will become a reference in deciding existing policies.

Tattoo art, once considered a taboo in many parts of Malaysia, is increasingly being recognized as a form of personal expression and artistic appreciation. This paper explores the evolving perceptions of tattoos within Malaysian society, emphasizing the factors contributing to their growing acceptance. Historically, tattoos were often linked to indigenous rituals, gang affiliations, or negative stereotypes. However, globalization, exposure to different cultures, and the rise of social media have shifted these perceptions, fostering a more nuanced appreciation of tattoo artistry. Through interviews, surveys, and analysis of tattoo-related media content, this study investigates the diverse motivations behind Malaysians’ decisions to get tattoos, including self-expression, cultural identity, and aesthetic appeal. The findings suggest that while conservative views persist, particularly among older generations and certain religious communities, a significant portion of younger Malaysians view tattoos as a legitimate art form. This demographic shift is influenced by the increasing visibility of tattoo artists, both local and international, who highlight the skill and creativity involved in tattooing. Furthermore, the study discusses the role of tattoo conventions and exhibitions in fostering a community of appreciation and learning. These events provide platforms for Malaysians to explore tattoo designs that resonate with their personal and cultural narratives, challenging traditional stigmas associated with body art. The paper concludes by suggesting that as societal norms continue to evolve, the appreciation of tattoo art in Malaysia will likely expand, reflecting broader global trends toward the normalization of body art as a personal and artistic choice.

This Classroom Action Research (PTK) model was carried out with 2 cycles consisting of four stages of activity, namely the planning stage, the implementation stage, the observation/observation stage and the reflection stage. Data collection techniques in this study include tests and observations. While the instruments in this study were in the form of test question sheets and student learning observation sheets. The data analysis technique used quantitative data analysis techniques and qualitative data. The results showed that the average student activity and ability of qiro'ah learning outcomes of VII grade students of MTs Swasta Bustanul Ulum in learning Chapter 6 with the material من يوميات الأسرة, with the use of pocket books of Arabic language subjects in the first cycle observation obtained the average activity of qiro'ah ability based on student learning outcomes is 42% (less active) and has increased in Cycle II which is 76% (active). In this case it can be proven that there is an increase in percentage from cycle I and cycle II by 34% and from the previous results which were classified in the less active category in cycle I to the active category in cycle II. For learning outcomes in the post-test cycle I, the average completeness obtained was 60% as many as 12 students who exceeded the KKM, in cycle II the average post-test completeness was 80% as many as 16 students who exceeded the KKM. The average post-test completeness in cycle II has exceeded 5% of the 75% success indicator. In this case it can be proven that there is an increase in percentage from cycle I and cycle II which is 20%. So it can be concluded that the use of pocket book media in Arabic language subjects can increase the activity and ability of qiro'ah based on the learning outcomes of VII grade students of MTs Swasta Bustanul Ulum.
Hellfire Exploration: the origins of ground source heat in early mining technology
Authors: Banks David
Published: September 2024

The ground source heat pump (GSHP) was first used in 1862, for freezing ground in connection with sinking a shaft in Swansea, UK. It was subsequently developed in Germany in 1882-83 into the “Poetsch process” for freezing ground during construction of mine shafts. The Poetsch process was an indirect closed loop GSHP system, circulating a chilled brine from a heat pump around a network of coaxial borehole heat exchangers. These early systems typically employed ammonia as a refrigerant and a calcium or magnesium chloride solution as the brine. Such a system was used in 1904-1906 to sink the shafts of Dawdon Colliery, Co. Durham, UK through water-bearing Permian strata. Also, around 1904, the Newcastle-based turbine pioneer, Charles Parsons, suggested that such a GSHP system could transport heat to the surface during the construction of a 12 mile deep “Hellfire Exploration” shaft, that could potentially access geothermal power.

Objetivo: identificar os cuidados observados por cirurgiões-dentistas referentes à documentação odontológica. Método: estudo transversal, que incluiu cirurgiões-dentistas atuantes em Bauru, São Paulo, Brasil. A amostra foi definida por “bola de neve”. A coleta de dados foi remota, realizada por meio de um questionário autoexplicativo, entre outubro e novembro de 2022. Utilizou-se a análise estatística descritiva. Resultados: participaram 28 profissionais. 61% (n=17) referiram registrarem no prontuário a quebra dos acessórios odontológicos e 57% (n=16) não solicitavam ao paciente para assinar o prontuário quando isso acontecia. 82% (n=23) registravam a má higiene oral. 75% (n=21) solicitavam a assinatura do paciente autorizando sua execução e 54% (n=15) relataram possuir um modelo próprio de contrato de prestação de serviços. 75% (n=21) armazenavam a prescrição de medicamentos e atestados. Em caso de abandono de tratamento, 54% (n=15) enviava uma comunicação ao paciente. Ao término do tratamento, 57% (n=16) afirmaram que a alta se dava por escrito, embora somente a metade tenha referido assiná-la (50%; n=14). Quanto aos métodos de orientação para melhorar a higiene oral, 46% (n=13) realizavam verbalmente. Referente ao arquivamento da documentação após o tratamento, 50% (n=14) realizavam por todo o período da atividade profissional. Quanto à solicitação de radiografia periapical para controle de tratamento, 32% (n=9) realizavam somente no início do tratamento. Em relação aos meios de comunicação do final de tratamento, 32% (n=9) utilizavam fotografias, radiografias e modelos de gesso. Conclusão: evidenciou-se que alguns parâmetros referentes à documentação odontológica foram bastante satisfatórios. Contudo, outras práticas precisam ser adotadas plenamente.

O presente estudo teve por objetivo relatar um caso clínico de Reabsorção Interna Radicular (RIR) em dente decíduo com 6 meses de acompanhamento, além de compreender possíveis fatores etiológicos que tenham desencadeado essa patologia. Paciente masculino, 8 anos, com presença de lesões cariosas nos dentes 74 e 75, foi encaminhado para tratamento odontológico na cidade de origem. Após 2 anos, durante o exame radiográfico, verificou-se a presença da raiz residual do dente 74 e o dente 75 apresentou uma lesão compatível com RIR. A conduta clínica determinada foi o acompanhamento clínico e radiográfico do dente 75, além da exodontia da raiz residual. Após 6 meses, verificou-se a redução da reabsorção principalmente na região de furca. O presente estudo sugere que a RIR do dente 75 é resultante de um conjunto de fatores, como a presença de lesões cariosas e sua posterior restauração, além do processo inflamatório decorrente da raiz residual do elemento 74.
