Published: June 2024

Background: Depression is commonly found in multiple sclerosis (MS), yet, it still undertreated. Objective: To compare the effect of aerobic exercise and Heal Light Guided Imagery (HLGI) on depression in patients with Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS) at short-term and one month follow up. Methods: A parallel group trial was conducted for eight successive weeks on 45 patients with RRMS, aged between 20 to 40 years old, and randomly assigned into three groups; 15 patients each. Aerobic exercise (AE) group received 30 minutes of stationary bicycle twice weekly, HLGI group received one session (60 minutes) weekly, and a wait-list control group. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), were measured pre-treatment, post-treatment and one month follow up. Results: The BDI showed significant reduction in AE and HLGI post-treatment and at follow up, with no statistical difference between the two groups. Compared with control group, the BDI was significantly reduced in intervention groups post-treatment and at follow up, while the FSS showed significant reduction in intervention groups only post-treatment. The PASAT showed significant increase post-treatment and at follow up in all groups, with no significant difference between them. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise and HLGI can similarly reduce depression in people with RRMS.

Abstract
Objectives: Bacterial contamination of dental implants during insertion is of serious concern to dental surgeons as it poses significant risk to the success of the procedure. Consequently, routine use of antibiotic prophylaxis during dental implant surgery has been recommended. This study was designed to investigate the use of antibiotics prophylaxis in implant surgery among dentists in Nigeria; to determine the preferred choice, and dosage of antibiotics prophylaxis.
Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of dental surgeons prescribing antibiotics prophylaxis for implant surgery in Nigeria. Using Survey Monkey (By Momentive.ai. California, USA) questionnaire investigating choice, dosage and prescription pattern of antibiotic prophylaxis was posted electronically on the WhatsApp Group platforms of the Nigeria Dental Association (NDA) for a period of 3months. Permission to carry out the survey among dental surgeons on the electronic platform was granted by NDA. Data was analyzed with SPSS 25.0 statistics program (SPSS® Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) and statistical significance was set for p≤0.01.
Results: Dental Surgeons that returned the completed forms were 72, among which 63.9% prescribed antibiotics prophylaxis. Respondents that administered antibiotics prophylaxis 24hours before surgery were 48.2% and this is statistically significant at p-value 0.266. Clindamycin was the preferred choice of antibiotic for 30.6% and this is statistically significant at p-value 0.743. A 5-day regular dose of Clindamycin 150mg 6hourly beginning 24hours before surgery was practiced by 58.3%. Amoxicillin at 500mg 8hrly for 5 days is the second most commonly used antibiotic prophylaxis.
 
Conclusion: The result from this study suggests that a high number of respondents were using antibiotics prophylaxis before placing implant, and this is in consonance with studies from other parts of the world. Clindamycin 150mg 6hourly for 5days, beginning 24hours before surgery was the preferred choice.

Interculturalidade e argumentação sob o foco da perspectiva dialogal
Authors: Damasceno-Morais Rubens - , Barbosa Izadora Araújo
Published: June 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise argumentativa no cenário intercultural de falantes nativos de inglês debatendo em português como língua não materna em situação de estase argumentativa, ou seja, o ponto máximo do contradiscurso, para que se possa perceber de que forma os estranhamentos socioculturais (FARNEDA, 2010) favorecem na construção da tensão no momento do debate. Para compor a análise descritiva, aplicou-se a perspectiva dialogal de Plantin (2009, 2011, 2016), segundo a qual a noção fundamental é a da situação argumentativa na qual dois discursos em oposição coexistem e se autorregulam, definindo assim uma questão, que está voltada para o mapeamento argumentativo e nos permite perscrutar os posicionamentos motivados por interesses e os papéis de atuação desempenhados pelos falantes no momento do debate. A metodologia também lança mão da perspectiva dialogal da argumentação, observando como se constroem posicionamentos dos papéis de atuação de dois interactantes (proponente, oponente, terceiro) em uma conversa extraída de um vídeo do canal Harry Souroukides, disponibilizado na plataforma Youtube. A partir da análise ora apresentada, constatou-se, assim, que o domínio da língua não materna é decisivo para o bom desenvolvimento da interação, apesar do surgimento de estases ao longo da interação entre falantes nativos de inglês ao comunicarem-se em português do Brasil.

Pedagogias decoloniais na diferença por meio da performance arte e de gênero e do Teatro do Oprimido como novos possíveis no ensino médio
Authors: Bernardes Rene Will Gonçalves
Published: June 2024

Este artigo apresenta processos de criação de novos possíveis em pedagogias decoloniais na diferença no ensino médio em gênero, raça e sexualidade por meio da performance arte, do Teatro do Oprimido (BOAL, 1975) e de ações da Comissão da Diversidade do IFSP câmpus Registro como alternativas ao [C]istema-mundo moderno/colonial, marcando o início de uma (pesquisa) intervenção pedagógica como enfrentamento decolonial à cisnormatividade branca através da performance arte. O processo baseia-se na Cartografia (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 1995), na Escrevivência (EVARISTO, 2012), na Educação para a Liberdade (FREIRE, 1999; HOOKS, 2017), na Pedagogia Decolonial (WALSH, 2007; CANDAU, 2011), na educação para a diferença (BENTO, 2011; SILVA, 2000) e nas Pedagogias da Sexualidade (LOURO, 2000). Apresenta as noções de cisgeneridade e cisnormatividade (VERGUEIRO, 2016) e aproxima as noções de performance arte (FÉRAL, 2009) e performatividade de gênero (BUTLER, 2003) a partir da noção de autorrepresentação do eu no cotidiano (GOFFMAN, 2009) como caminho pedagógico decolonial pela arte. Apresenta tensões com o movimento Escola Sem Partido e conseqüentes exílio(BRAGA; GUIMARÃES; VALENCIA, 2019-2020), bem como discussões sobre decolonialidade em arte, gênero e educação por meio da experimentação livre de performatividades.

Navigating the Darkness: Unveiling the Link between Dark Triad Traits, Human Governance, and Deviant Workplace Behaviour
Authors: Mohsin Ainul Mohsein Abdul , Basheer Siti Zaharah Ahmad , Taib Fauziah Md
Published: June 2024

This paper attempts to examine the impact of human governance on the complex relationship between Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and deviant workplace behaviours. It integrates the theoretical concepts of Trait Theory, Al-Ghazali's theory of the soul, and Guman’s Governance Philosophy to analyse personality traits, spiritual influences, and ethical principles in deviant behaviours. This study aims to give scholarly insights into the comprehension and application of these significant issues by looking at theoretical and empirical aspects. It focuses on values, ethics, and internal guidance in fostering ethical behaviours and deterring deviant conduct. The study provides valuable insights into the interplay between human governance, Dark Triad traits, and deviant workplace behavior. However, it acknowledges limitations in generalizing findings across different organizational contexts. Further empirical research is needed to validate the effectiveness of human governance principles in mitigating deviant behaviours. The findings offer practical implications for organizational management in promoting human governance principles to cultivate a culture of integrity, transparency, and accountability, reducing the likelihood of Dark Triad traits and deterring the deviant behaviours among employees. The study contributes to existing literature by exploring the role of human governance in addressing these issues.
The Metamorphosis of Macbeth: A Neuropsychological Approach
Authors: Al-Abdullah Mufeed , Al-Rashid Amer , Al-Joulan Nayef A. , Al-Ibia Salim E.
Published: June 2024

This article aims to study the transformation of Macbeth from a national hero who represents the nation’s glory into a criminal who becomes the nation’s source of evil and peril. It means to trace the metamorphosis in his character from a national hero to an anxious hero, a "hamartiac" hero, an ambivalent hero, a misguided hero, a criminal, an insomniac king, a fallen monarch, and eventually a recidivist criminal king. He experiences a range of neuropsychological and psychoanalytic difficulties while the psychological alterations take place. Anxiety, despair, guilt, terror, insomnia, and a sense of loss are a few of these disorders. The first step in Macbeth's quest is his triumph over the disobedient Macdonwald and his henchmen. When he decapitates the rebel leader and hangs his head at the camp's gate, he signals the successful conclusion of the conflict with the rebels. At this point, Macbeth has earned the title of "national champion," earning the king's adulation in addition to the people's respect and thanks. Order and stability are restored only when Macduff beheads Macbeth and hangs his head at the entrance of the camp of the Scottish forces arriving from England since during his reign he transforms into an evil force and a source of unrest. The tale of Macbeth's transformation can be found between the two acts of decapitation. Between the two incidents, Macbeth goes through several stages of development that will be covered in the discussion that follows.

Religious Character Education: Students' Perspectives on Religion in Diversity
Authors: Siswantara Yusuf , Supriyadi Tedi
Published: June 2024

Diversity is a gift that brings good but also a catastrophe that brings bad. Managing attitudes towards diversity is key. This research explores the younger generation's perception of their passion for faith.  The goal is to formulate the perception of young integration as a determining factor in religious attitudes, seeing the implications for the education of religious character. To achieve this goal, this study uses a phenomenological qualitative methodological approach. Data collection is carried out by surveys and interviews. The results showed that (1) religious motivation is dominated by the family environment and affective dimensions; (2) the passion of religious life is still in ritual and spiritual circles; (3) perceptions and attitudes of tolerance in the pluralist paradigm become distinctive in the face of other religions. These findings have implications in the education of religious character, personal development of learners, moral and social values, public policy with dynamic system analysis. This study concludes three things: the affective dimension in the motivation of religious life; the centrality of prayer and rituals as focal points of faith; and the respondents’ pluralistic stance towards other religious traditions. Thus, this research underscores the critical need for religion-based character education that integrates both personal development and social responsibility. It highlights the relevance of religious values in navigating the complexities of contemporary global challenges. This research implies that religious character education should not be confined to strengthening personal values. It should additionally pave the way for comprehending and addressing global challenges through an inclusive religious perspective.

Application and evaluation of coronectomy in Switzerland
Authors: Crameri Manuel , Kuttenberger Johannes J
Published: June 2024

Coronectomy is the intentional partial removal of a tooth. Thereby the crown of the tooth is removed and the roots are left in place. Compared to the complete operative removal of a wisdom tooth, the incidence of inferior alveolar nerve injury (IANI) is lower. The aim of this study is a survey on the use and acceptance of wisdom tooth coronectomy in Switzerland. An anonymous questionnaire was sent to 266 dentists specialized in oral surgery or maxillofacial surgeons; 58.3% of the questionnaires were returned and could be assessed. The statistical analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test. The technique was classified as «non-reliable» by 51.6% of the respondents. In cases manifesting a high risk of IANI, 40.6% offered the patient a coronectomy. In a tooth exhibiting a high risk of IANI, 69.0% could envisage to perform a coronectomy instead of a complete operative removal. The technique was not used by 54.8%. A significantly larger proportion of study participants who specialized in or after the year 2005 (p < 0.05) rated the technique as “reliable”. The same applied to respondents who specialized in Bern (p < 0.05) and those who already had used coronectomy (p < 0.001). In conclusion, our results show that the majority of maxillofacial and oral surgeons reject coronectomy. In view of recent studies, this attitude should be reconsidered.
On the QSPR Models of some Anti-Malaria Drugs using some Reversed Degree-Based Topological Indices
Authors: Ibrahim Hassan , Shewa Gladys Amos , Aderibigbe Babatunde Adewale
Published: June 2024

A topological index is a real number obtained from the chemical structure of a molecular graph that can be used to predict the physiochemical and biological properties of chemical compounds like drugs and benzene structures. This study aimed at proposing a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model for some physiological and biological properties of some anti-malaria drugs. Some reversed-degree-based topological indices of the molecular graphs of these drugs were computed; hence, a linear regression model analysis of these indices with the empirical values of the said properties of these drugs was carried out and presented. It was found that the topological indices computed for the said drugs have a good correlation with these physicochemical properties.

Ward based clinical teaching on admitted patients hasbeen gold standard of clinical teaching for long time.However, this heavily on availability of patients with variety of diseases being present at the time of teaching.The agreement that primary health can should be promoted and whenever possible, patients should be treated in the community and in ambulatory setting has alsoresulted in reduction of pool of patients available forclinical teaching. Admitted patients can be too sick toparticipate in learning. They may not be willing to participate in learning. The need for planned, structured, integrated, deep and active leaning with proper schemaactivation promoting higher level of cognition, developing good clinical and communication skills, and excellent attitudes based on ethical principles has promotedclinical teaching to look for ways to supplement traditional ward based teaching. New trends have beenidentified which need be incorporated in any planned,structured teaching programme.I have developed a model for teaching and learning clinical surgery based on the current trends in clinical setting.
Empathy & Doctors of Pakistan.
Authors: Syed Razi Muhammad
Published: June 2024

The term empathy originates from the German wordEinfühlung and was first used by Robert Vischer in1873 to describe the projection of human feeling on tothe natural world1. Empathy ‘explains how we discoverthat other people have selves’2. Psychologist CarlRogers has popularised it. He focused on clienttherapist relationship rather than the process of therapy itself; placing the client at the centre3. This influenced the concept of patient-centred care.Self-concept is influenced by others’ attitudes, especially during formative years. A negative self-conceptarises from a highly critical environment, which distances the individual from their ‘organismic self’. Thiscauses confusion and ultimately results in the individual living out their lives by an external rather than internal locus of evaluation3. This means that the individualdoes what they believe others would want them to dorather than following their own desires1. Empathy isoften described with congruence (being genuine andtransparent) and unconditional positive regard (beingnon-judgemental)3.

These Books Matter
Authors: Carlson Carolyn L.
Published: June 2024

In recent years there has been an increase in book banning in public schools, which denies students access to texts. Therefore, it is essential that individuals become advocates against censorship in public school libraries. An educational/advocacy event was held on a university campus as part of the nationwide events highlighting the American Library Association’s Banned Books Week. The focus of this event was for participants to read/listen to readings of banned books, learn about the types of books that are banned in K-12 public schools across the country, understand the process (or lack thereof) by which books are typically banned, and discuss ways to advocate against banning books in public school libraries. Each of the six event engagements was thoughtfully designed to engage participants with banned books. Individuals/groups who desire to host their own event for Banned Books Week (or any anti-censorship event) can use this framework to develop their event to advocate against censorship.
Scénická poznámka středověkého chrámového dramatu z hlediska obsahu a formy. Úvod do problematiky
Authors: Vršecká Kateřina
Published: June 2024

The stage directions of medieval plays, the so-called rubrics, represent a unique and integral part of the dramatic text which is most often examined for the purpose of interpreting and reconstructing the staging aspect of a concrete play or general staging forms and conventions of the period theatre. Somewhat less attention has been paid to formal and stylistic aspects of rubrics, their language, purpose and their diverse functions within the text of the medieval play, their relation to the dialogue, and so on. The study presents the content, style and specific form of the rubrics of medieval Church drama and outlines possible ways of their interpretation with the help of modern theories and classification of stage directions in a drama. It is based on the previous extensive analyses of Latin rubrics of more than two hundred dramatic texts of medieval Church plays, consisting mostly of the Latin (or bilingual) liturgical plays staged within the close connection to liturgy in European monasteries and churches during the whole Middle Ages (i. e. Easter and Christmas drama, liturgical dramatizations connected to Marian feasts) and also several semi-liturgical or extra-liturgical religious plays.

Comunicación Ambiental y Sustentabilidad en las Organizaciones Gubernamentales de Venezuela
Authors: Lovera Torres Jesús
Published: June 2024

Durante las últimas dos décadas la comunicación ambiental se ha convertido en un tema de interés que ha ido tomando auge en los diversos contextos organizacionales. Todo ello, como consecuencia del establecimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) promulgados por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas; así como por la publicación de las normas ISO 14001 y 14063; donde a través de la comunicación estratégica, las organizaciones buscan compartir información y planificar escenarios para promocionar e impulsar la cultura de la sustentabilidad y el cuidado por el medio ambiente. A tenor de lo antes expresado, en esta investigación se analiza cómo la comunicación ambiental se ha desplegado dentro de los organismos gubernamentales de Venezuela, y el propósito con el que la misma se utiliza. Para ello, como recurso metodológico, y atendiendo a un enfoque de investigación cualitativa, se efectuó una indagación de campo con carácter descriptivo no experimental y transeccional, donde se tomó como universo de estudio a tres entidades públicas ubicadas en el Distrito Capital. Con lo anterior, se permitió generar un panorama de cómo estas organizaciones instauran, a través de la comunicación interna y externa que se maneja en sus dependencias, estrategias para incentivar y concienciar a la población venezolana en materia de sustentabilidad y preservación por el medio ambiente, lo que supondría cambios en las acciones ciudadanas que ayudarían a reducir el cambio climático y a garantizar la convivencia del hombre con todos los seres vivos que cohabitan en el planeta tierra.

The dataset used in the study covers the period between the completion of the dam construction in 2008 and 2019. Preprocessing of the remote sensing satellite images and digital image processing analyses were carried out using ENVI and ArcGIS software. The shoreline was determined through manual digitization. Consequently, it was found that the shoreline length was 14.994 km in 2008 and increased to 22.293 km in 2019. These values represent the observed minimum and maximum shoreline lengths, respectively. The study period revealed an increase in shoreline length. Given that this study is the first to elucidate shoreline changes occurring at the Ayvacık Reservoir, it is anticipated to provide essential insights for water resource managers by contributing significantly to the literature.

Sleeve gastrectomy was first performed in Korea in the 2000s, and its frequency has gradually increased thereafter. It is now the most commonly performed procedure for bariatric surgery today. However, there are few detailed reports on this surgical method, and, in particular, no papers that include accompanying videos. Herein, we present the case of a 29-year-old male with a preoperative body mass index of 44 kg/m2, who also had hypertension and hyperlipidemia. A conventional laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was performed using a 5-port technique. The surgeon employed two methods to ensure a consistent and aesthetic gastric tube, as well as patient safety: the non-tension method and a Lembert suture on the staple line at the neo–greater curvature. By utilizing the aforementioned two tips effectively, even inexperienced surgeons can perform laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy relatively safely and effectively.

Since its introduction in 1987, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been widely performed by surgeons as a standard procedure for benign gallbladder diseases. Education and training by hepatobiliary experts are important in order to safely perform LC without critical complications. The present report discusses the first LC performed by a beginner surgeon who was trained with our institutional step-by-step tutorial. The step-by-step mentor-mentee tutorial had a total of four phases: video training, observation in the operating room, participation as an assistant, and finally performing LC independently. At every step, the mentor’s approval was required to move on to the next phase. After completing visual training and observation, the mentee participated in 10 consecutive LCs as an assistant or operator. Finally, LC for a 54-year-old female patient with gallbladder stones was independently performed by the mentee under the mentor’s supervision. The patient was discharged on the first postoperative day without complications. We report a case of LC successfully performed by a beginner surgeon with the aid of a newly established step-by-step tutorial. The tutorial is expected to be applied to numerous surgical trainees after further refinement regarding its safety and feasibility.

In the conditions of the current full-scale Russo-Ukrainian war, there is an increase in cases of depression, apathy, anxiety and different disorders, as well as other psychological problems that affect the academic process and psychosomatic health of schoolchildren in Ukraine, which makes this problem an important topic for study. The purpose of the research was to characterize the kinds of stress factors in the educational environment and their possible effects on schoolchildren’s bodies both in peacetime and wartime conditions; and to assess the real impact of school stress on the psychosomatic health of schoolchildren by taking an experimental approach. The theoretical method made it possible to analyze, synthesize, systematize and summarize the information on stress factors of the educational process affecting schoolchildren which is available in academic literature. The experimental research involved schoolchildren attending gymnasiums (high schools) in Pereiaslav, Kyiv Region. An anonymous questionnaire survey for parents was used to determine the presence of anxiety, its causes and consequences for the schoolchildren under examination. The surveyed gymnasium students were tested to determine academic stress, self-assessment of stress resistance and resilience. It has been established that the academic environment of Ukrainian educational institutions in the wartime conditions is characterized by the emergence of numerous stress factors. The high school students under examination had a high level of anxiety, a low level of stress resistance and an average level of resilience. The obtained results of the test to determine academic stress have demonstrated that the educational process had a negative impact on the health and academic performance of schoolchildren. The increase in stress factors during the large-scale Russo-Ukrainian war had a negative impact on the psychosomatic health, academic performance and social adaptation of schoolchildren to learning. Results of this research can be used for development and implementation of psychoprophylactic measures meant to reduce stress conditions in schoolchildren both in the school environment and at home, therefore promoting a favorable psychological environment and well-being

Published: June 2024

La presente obra, en primer lugar, analiza las necesidades que tienen quienes habitan (o pretenden hacerlo) en los pequeños municipios diseminados a lo largo de la denominada «España vaciada» y, en segundo término, diseña distintas soluciones capaces de garantizar un desarrollo vital digno, adoptando como idea transversal la sostenibilidad medioambiental, social y económica de los territorios con el fin de conseguir un justo equilibrio. Entre ellas, destacan como herramienta clave las entidades de economía social en sus variadas formas jurídicas, verdaderos ejemplos a seguir en la solidaridad e imprescindibles para lograr la cohesión y el bienestar existencial, así como destacado motor para la fijación de población a través de la generación de empleo decente aprovechando los recursos autóctonos. Estas organizaciones constituyen, además, un óptimo cauce para la dotación de servicios de interés general en cualquier emplazamiento por muy alejado que se encuentre de los núcleos urbanos.

La investigación se centra en uno de los aspectos clave que está afectando desde hace algún tiempo a la población de forma indiscriminada, cual es la producción de la energía eléctrica. Para ello, se hace énfasis en la energía eléctrica que se obti a partir de las fuentes renovables y no contaminantes, concreta y especialmente lo atinente a la energía eólica, que se erige en el hilo conductor a lo largo de toda la obra, desde una perspectiva amplia y diversificada, lo que refuerza sobremanera el estudio transversal y multifactorial que aquí se presenta sobre el tema abordado: a) Visión sociológica, a través del estudio de un caso concreto esgrimido; b) Visión histórica, tomando como referencia la experiencia jurídica romana y su incidencia en el Derecho actual; c) Visión jurídica, en torno a los nuevos derechos reales que el fenómeno eólico propicia; d) Visión legislativa, sobre la base del Plan Energético aragonés y la legislación autonómica y nacional que regula la materia; e) Visión jurídico-contractual en general y, más en particular, desde el enfoque del Análisis Económico del Derecho (AED); f) Visión medioambiental, con lo que ello implica respecto del derecho fundamental a la salud y la responsabilidad derivada de los daños que la industria automovilística genera; y, por fin, g) Visión penal, a propósito del impacto que representa la instalación y puesta en funcionamiento de los parques eólicos respecto de la avifauna.
