Use of a violence risk prediction tool (OxMIV) in Early Intervention in Psychosis services: a mixed methods study of acceptability, feasibility and clinical role
Authors: Whiting Daniel , Glogowska Margaret , Mallett Sue , Maughan Daniel , Lennox Belinda , Fazel Seena
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUNDScalable assessment tools for precision psychiatry are of increasing clinical interest. One clinical risk assessment that might be improved by such approaches is assessment of violence perpetration risk. This is an important adverse outcome to reduce for some people presenting to services for first episode psychosis. A prediction tool (OxMIV) has been externally validated in these services, but clinical acceptability and role need to be examined and developed. AIMSThis study aimed to understand clinical use of OxMIV to support violence risk management in Early Intervention in Psychosis services in terms of acceptability to clinicians, patients and carers, practical feasibility, utility, impact and role. METHODMixed methods integrated quantitative data on utility and patterns of use of OxMIV over 12-months in two services with qualitative data from interviews of 20 clinicians and 12 patients and carers. RESULTSOxMIV was used 141 times, mostly in new assessments. Required information was available, with only family history items scored unknown to any notable degree. OxMIV was deemed helpful by clinicians in most cases, especially if previous risk concerns. It was acceptable practically, and broadly for the service, for which its concordance with clinical judgement was important. Patients and carers thought it may improve openness. There was limited impact on plans for clinical support.CONCLUSIONSThis study yielded a detailed understanding of practical issues around the adoption of OxMIV and how it meets an identified clinical need to support risk assessments. Future work should focus on implementation studies and developing linked intervention pathways.

Published: June 2024

The positive relation between mental health and educational attainment is well-established, yet the extent to which cognitive abilities influence this gradient or independently predict mental health outcomes remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the association between adolescent cognitive abilities, educational attainment, and adult mental health. Cognitive ability was ascertained in Norwegian military conscript test data (N = 272,351; mean age 17.8 years; males only), whereas mental disorders were ascertained using the Norwegian register of primary care diagnoses received between the age of 36–40. Higher cognitive abilities were associated with a monotonically decreasing risk of developing all the studied mental disorders except bipolar disorder. The association held even when comparing the cognitive abilities of brothers raised in the same family, attesting that cognitive ability and mental disorders are not associated because both arise from the same family background circumstances. Similarly, individuals with higher educational attainment had fewer mental health disorders. The association between low cognitive abilities and the risk of mental disorders was notably stronger in males with low educational attainment, compared to those with high educational attainment. These individuals may be an underutilized target group for mental-disorder prevention.

The aim of this study was to check whether there is a relationship between the level of love, the number of children and the level of social anxiety in people. 53 people were examined, they answered the questions of the Sternberg Love Scale and the Leibowitz Social Anxiety Scale. Social anxiety did not show significant correlations with any of the studied variables.
Syntax and prediction in language and music
Authors: Fiveash Anna , Tillmann Barbara
Published: June 2024

Syntax and prediction are fundamental elements supporting the processing of language and music. Implicitly learned syntactic rules and principles allow perceivers to form expectations (or predictions) about the syntactic combination of individual elements, resulting in facilitated processing of upcoming expected events. The current chapter discusses syntax (in the broad sense of structured, system-based combinations of events) and prediction in language and music, including an outline of the formal similarities and differences in syntax between the two domains. We present behavioural and neural evidence showing the role of syntax in prediction, for both typical and pathological populations as well as connections with rhythm processing. Methodological considerations for future research investigating syntax and prediction in language and music are also discussed, as well as perspectives for rehabilitation and training, notably based on predictive processing informed by syntactic and rhythmic principles in both domains.
Czy miłość koreluje z sumiennością?
Authors: Szyszka Paweł
Published: June 2024

Abstrakt W ostatnich latach rośnie zainteresowanie badaniami nad miłością, co jest widoczne w licznych pracach naukowych. Jednym z takich badań jest praca Sorokowskiego (Sorokowski,2017), która analizowała związek między miłością a ilością dzieci wśród plemienia Hadza w Tanzanii. Celem badania było zaobserwowanie czy zachodzą takie same relacje u Polaków, z dodatkiem zmiennej sumienności. Badanie przeprowadzono za pomocą ankiety internetowej, którą udostępniono na Facebooku. Wykorzystano dwa kwestionariusze: kwestionariusz Miłości Stenberga w polskiej adaptacji oraz polską adaptację kwestionariusza TIPI. W badaniu wzięło udział 50 osób (33 kobiety i 17 mężczyzn). Analiza wyników korelacji nie wykazała związku między sukcesem reprodukcyjnym a miłością oraz między sumiennością a pozostałymi zmiennymi. Wyniki sugerują, że w populacji polskiej miłość, jak i sumienność, nie mają istotnego wpływu na liczbę potomstwa.

Análise do perfil de expressão de genes de Brevipalpus yothersi relacionados com resposta à detoxificação de xenobióticos e à interação com fitovírus
Authors:   , Sinico Thaís Elise
Published: June 2024

Brevipalpus yothersi é vetor do citrus leprosis virus C (CiLV-C, Cilevirus leprosis), o agente causal da leprose, principal doença viral dos citros no Brasil e em alguns países das Américas, e do coffee ringspot virus (CoRSV, Dichorhavirus coffeae), patógeno da mancha anular do cafeeiro. Os sintomas típicos causados por vírus transmitidos por Brevipalpus (VTBs) são lesões localizadas ao redor do sítio de alimentação dos ácaros. Estudos de interação entre CiLV-C/hospedeira vegetal/B. yothersi sugerem o envolvimento de vias hormonais da planta e produção de moléculas reativas de oxigênio (ROS) na modulação do comportamento do vetor, com aumento da oviposição e colonização na hospedeira. Contudo, não há muitas informações acerca da interação B. yothersi/VTB. Assim, os objetivos deste trabalho foram: avaliar a expressão de genes de B. yothersi relacionados à detoxificação de xenobióticos, interação vírus-vetor, imunidade, estresse do retículo endoplasmático (RE) e de proteínas mal enoveladas (UPR), em resposta a CiLV-C e CoRSV; e avaliar a resposta biológica de ácaros avirulíferos (AVIR) e virulíferos (VIR), após exposição a composto xenobiótico. Os genes relacionados à detoxificação de xenobióticos e sistema imune inato (Toll e IMD/JNK) foram reprimidos em ácaros VIR para ambos os VTBs, enquanto genes da via JAK/STAT foram induzidos.
A Play to Be Read: Authorship as Marriage in Eliza Haywood’s A Wife to Be Lett (1723)
Authors: Castro-Santana Anaclara
Published: June 2024

A Wife to Be Lett (1723), Eliza Haywood’s first original comedy, is often viewed as a casual early investment in drama more productively reoriented to novel writing. Taking a contrary view, this article shows how this early play is a sophisticated, self-reflective piece in which the author rehearses what became a recurrent motif in her writing: the unique hardships besetting women’s authorship. By drawing attention to the shared predicaments of wives and women writers, Haywood’s play offers a metaphoric figuration of the woman author as a wife, providing a twist to the common trope of the writer as prostitute. A Wife to Be Lett voiced a powerful criticism against the hypocrisy of a society that relied on women (as wives and writers) for the production and circulation of capital but obstructed their efforts to do so. The play’s radical depiction of women as figures of authority and social respectability in the twin markets of marriage and literature sheds light on the moderate success it had on the stage and its far longer afterlife in print.

Hugo Ehrlich and Villa Karma
Authors: Vulin Ileković Dina , Ileković Boris
Published: June 2024

The authorship of the Villa Karma is as a rule ascribed to Adolf Loos. The villa was formed by taking an existing structure and extending it upwards and sideways, in the period between 1903 and 1906, according to most accounts. In fact, however, in this time the construction of the new parts and the transformation of the existing building had only just begun. The period in which the Zagreb architect Hugo Ehrlich was involved in the design and building of Karma stretched from 1908 to 1912; it was then that the villa took on its final external appearance. At the same time the grounds were landscaped, and the interior spaces were defined according to Ehrlich’s designs. The hall and the library are an exception, for Ehrlich produced them in line with Loos’s approach and in part with materials already sourced. An examination of the documentation kept in three countries has shown that the claim that Ehrlich was just the contractor for the building of designs previously defined by Loos is untenable. The original style can be correlated with a series of formal motifs in the works of Hugo Ehrlich or Viktor Kovačić at the time they were working together, which was contemporaneous with the period in which Karma was being finished. The most telling confirmation of the work of Ehrlich consists of several hundred drawings from Ehrlich’s personal papers.

Development and Assessment of a Post-Occupancy Evaluation Scale for Sustainable Office Environments
Authors: Uşma Gökhan , Erdoğan Ölçer Deniz
Published: June 2024

This study explores the relationship between users and the built environment through a post-occupancy evaluation (POE) conducted at the FNN Sustainability Centre, a noteworthy sustainable building in the region. The study involved a comprehensive approach, encompassing site visits, managerial interviews, and staff surveys. To establish a robust evaluation framework, a scale was developed by analyzing pertinent literature, and indicators were identified to gauge various aspects of the building's performance. Throughout the scale development process, the SPSS data analysis program was used, and expert opinions were solicited to ensure a rigorous and comprehensive methodology. Evaluation categories included lighting, acoustics, climatic comfort and indoor air quality, use and comfort of systems, quality of space and perception, awareness of sustainability and productivity. The building emerged as a physically and psychologically conducive workplace that heightened employee awareness of sustainability. The study identified specific concerns, such as noise disturbance for open-office workers and glare-related issues, which serve as valuable feedback for potential adjustments.
Tito's Residential Complex in Miločer, Budva (1975-1980)
Authors: Bulatović Danilo
Published: June 2024

The subject of this paper is the development of a conceptual design proposal for the official residence for the President of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito on the Adriatic coast of Miločer, Budva (1975-1980). The research aims to unveil patterns of the regionalist approach within urban and architectural thought in the Socialist Republic of Montenegro (SR Montenegro) through the project of the presidential complex, shown here for the first time since its official presentation to the president himself in 1976. In methodological terms, the paper examines multiple layers of historical background of Miločer that affected the design­ers' process of thinking, followed by a clear-cut description of the planning procedures, methodologies and reasoning that emerged from the archives and the first-hand witnesses of the whole process. The final results reflect on the critical approach within the practice of the post-war generation of Montenegrin architects, successfully balancing between the poles of power-representation and contemporary architectural currents.

Objectives: The present study sought to "Evaluate the Effectiveness of Asynchronous Online English Language Learning in Private and Public Schools in Palestine during the Outbreak of COVID 19". Methods: The study adopts a case- control study design (case- referent study), one type of observational study in which two existing groups differing in outcome are identified and compared on the basis of some predetermined causal attributes (Mann, 2003). Results: As shown in the study results, asynchronous learning was significantly higher in private schools (4.05 +- 0.58) (t (383) = 5.765, p = 0.00). The results of the study showed that the perception of asynchronous learning in reading skill was the highest, with an average of (3.6) for the study sample, followed by speaking skill with an average of (3.5), writing skill with an average of (3.4), and the listening skill which got the last rank with an average of (3.2). Conclusions: The researcher made several recommendations regarding the readiness of asynchronous learning in teaching English, which were as follows: Teachers are advised to be provided with appropriate training and qualification to use educational technology and apply best practices to online teaching, Teachers are advised to plan and design educational content well according to the learning objectives and needs of the students.
THE GERMAN ECONOMY DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
Authors: Pierenkemper Toni , Tilly Richard
Published: June 2024

In the 19th Century, economic growth was accompanied by large-scale structural change, known as industrialization, which fundamentally affected western societies. Even though industrialization is on the wane in some advanced economies and we are experiencing substantial structural changes again, the causes and consequences of these changes are inextricably linked with earlier industrialization.This means that understanding 19th Century industrialization helps us understand problems of contemporary economic growth. There is no recent study on economic developments in 19th Century Germany. So this concise volume, written specifically with students of German and economic history in mind, will prove to be most valuable, not least because of its wealth of statistical data.
THE AMBIVALENT ALLIANCE
Authors: Granieri Ronald J.
Published: June 2024

Whenever asked to name his most significant accomplishment as West Germany's first Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer would invariably reply: "The alliance with the free West." Scholars have echoed his assessment, citing the Federal Republic of Germany's successful integration into the American-led West (Westbindung) as the key to its postwar economic and political recovery. Behind this simple success story, however,lies a much more complicated history: Adenauer and the CDU/CSU remained ambivalent about the ultimate relationship between Europe, Germany, and the United States within the West, torn between visions of Continental European integration based on Franco-German reconciliation and of an Atlantic community linking Europe and the "Anglo-Saxons." These differences eventually erupted into a damaging public conflict between "Atlanticists" and "Gaullists," which colored Adenauer's last years and, after his retirement in 1963, led directly to the failure of his successor, Ludwig Erhard. The opening of various personal and party archives over the past few years has now made the entire Adenauer Era accessible for historians. As one of the first efforts to use that material to re-examine existing conventional wisdom about the period, this book traces the roles of Adenauer and the CDU/CSU in shaping Westbindung. Adenauer emerges as a skilled and resourceful (if also mistrustful and devious) politician, and as a distinctly German statesman, maneuvering between allies and adversaries to shape both the Western community and the German role in it, leaving a legacy that still influences contemporary German-American and European-American relations.
BECOMING A SUBJECT

Published: June 2024

Focusing on the Greek Civil War (1946-1949), the last major conflict in Europe before the end of the Cold War, this study examines the political prisoners whose fate encapsulates the dramatic conflicts and contradictions of that dark era. New sources such as prisoners' letters, memoirs, and official reports, the author describes the life of the prisoners and the effect the prison administration and the prisoners' collective had on their personality. Drawing comparisons to political prisoners in Germany and Spain, the author sheds new light on our understanding of the ideologies and policies and their effect on individuals, which marked European history in the 20th century.
A NEW LOOK AT THAI AIDS
Authors: Fordham Graham
Published: June 2024

Following the detection of the first HIV infections in the early 1980s, by the 1990s Thailand was routinely depicted as having the world’s fastest moving HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, by the early 2000’s the bulk of scholarly and medical AIDS literature portrayed the epidemic as being largely under control, and claimed that Thai AIDS prevention efforts during the 1990s had been successful. Based on long-term ethnographic research conducted in Northern Thailand this book makes an in-depth study of the social construction of Thailand’s HIV/AIDS epidemic over this period. In addition to his own field research the author draws on an extensive corpus of English and Thai language social science and medical HIV/AIDS literature to examine the modeling of Thailand’s AIDS epidemic, and addresses concepts and issues such as risk groups, risk behaviour, alcohol use, gender and class, masculinity, the scapegoating of female prostitutes and men in the underclass, the reporting of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Thailand’s indigenous Thai language media, and sexual activity amongst Thai youth. The analysis demonstrates the contribution of anthropology as an interpretative social science, and the use of anthropological theory and research methods, to finding alternative ways of framing the problems of Thai AIDS and of posing new questions that will lead to more effective points of intervention. It emphasises the necessity for critically reflexive approaches that question the ‘taken for granted’ and demonstrates how qualitative research techniques guided by social theory have the potential to take account of local meanings in complex social contexts where traditional values and cultural practices are rapidly transforming due to economic and social change. The book offers a sustained and powerful criticism of the limitations of the normative model of the Thai AIDS epidemic and, in its aim of promoting critically reflexive AIDS research techniques in order to produce a better understanding of issues ‘on the ground’ and hence better health policy and more effective AIDS interventions, speaks not only to the Thai AIDS epidemic but to AIDS epidemics throughout Southeast Asia and elsewhere. This is the only English language study of Thailand’s HIV/AIDS epidemic to draw on long-term qualitative research in Northern Thailand as well as on a broad range of Thai (and some Khmer language) materials. Its contextualised and subtly nuanced analysis of the AIDS epidemic and of the impact of AIDS control initiatives, in concert with the theoretical and methodological contributions it makes to AIDS research and policy and behavioural interventions, makes it a timely publication of vital interest to scholars in the social sciences, as well as to the members of non-governmental organisations and international organisations working in the HIV/AIDS, health and development fields.
HISTORY
Authors: Rüsen Jörn
Published: June 2024

Without denying the importance of the postmodernist approach to the narrative form and rhetorical strategies of historiography, the author, one of Germany's most prominent cultural historians, argues here in favor of reason and methodical rationality in history. He presents a broad variety of aspects, factors and developments of historical thinking from the 18th century to the present, thus continuing, in exemplary fashion, the tradition of critical self-reflection in the humanities and looking at historical studies as an important factor of cultural orientation in practical life.
PARTY, SOCIETY, GOVERNMENT
Authors: Hanley David
Published: June 2024

According to received wisdom parties have played a mainly destructive role in French political development. Of questionable legitimacy, pursuing narrow sectarian goals, often corruptly, they have brought about division, weakness and the collapse of regimes. A proper reading of history suggests differently. By combining historical research and contemporary political science theory about party, the author shows that for over a century party has irrigated French democracy in often invisible ways, brokering working compromises between groups divided strongly along social, political and cultural lines. The key to this success is the party system, which allowed for a high degree of collusion and cooptation between political elites, rhetoric notwithstanding. This hidden logic has persisted to this day despite the advent of presidentialism and remains the key to the continuing prosperity of French democracy.
WHERE HAVE ALL THE HOMELESS GONE?
Authors: Marcus Anthony
Published: June 2024

For a decade, from 1983 to 1993, homelessness was a major concern in the United States. In 1994, this public concern suddenly disappeared, without any significant reduction in the number of people without proper housing. By examining the making and unmaking of a homeless crisis, this book explores how public understandings of what constitutes a social crisis are shaped. Drawing on five years of ethnographic research in New York City with African Americans and Latinos living in poverty, Where Have All the Homeless Gone? reveals that the homeless “crisis” was driven as much by political misrepresentations of poverty, race, and social difference, as the housing, unemployment, and healthcare problems that caused homelessness and continue to plague American cities.
CLAIMS TO MEMORY
Authors: Reinhardt Catherine
Published: June 2024

Why do the people of the French Caribbean still continue to be haunted by the memory of their slave past more than one hundred and fifty years after the abolition of slavery? What process led to the divorce of their collective memory of slavery and emancipation from France's portrayal of these historical phenomena? How are Martinicans and Guadeloupeans today transforming the silences of the past into historical and cultural manifestations rooted in the Caribbean? This book answers these questions by relating the 1998 controversy surrounding the 150th anniversary of France's abolition of slavery to the period of the slave regime spanning the late Enlightenment and the French Revolution. By comparing a diversity of documents—including letters by slaves, free people of color, and planters, as well as writings by the philosophes, royal decrees, and court cases—the author untangles the complex forces of the slave regime that have shaped collective memory. The current nationalization of the memory of slavery in France has turned these once peripheral claims into passionate political and cultural debates.
MINERS AND THE STATE IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE
Authors: Quataert Donald
Published: June 2024

The story of the miners of Zonguldak presents a particularly graphic local lens through which to examine questions that have been of major concern to historians—most prominently, the development of the state, the emergence of capitalism, and the role of the working classes in these large processes. This book examines such major issues through the actual experiences of coal miners in the Ottoman Empire. The encounters of mine workers with state mining officials and private mine operators do not follow the expected patterns of labor-state-capital relations as predicted by the major explanatory paradigms of modernization or dependency. Indeed, as the author clearly shows, few of the outcomes are as predicted. The fate of these miners has much to offer both Ottoman and Middle East specialists as well as scholars of the developing world and, more generally, those interested in the connections between economic development and social and political change.
LONG-TERM OUTCOMES OF PREVENTIVE MEASURES IN CHILDREN FOLLOWING RADICAL URANOSTAPHYLOPLASTY

The presence of congenital non-union of the palate in children does not allow to carry out hygienic measures to the full extent, therefore it requires carrying out planned remedial and medical and preventive measures at all stages of observation.
The purpose of the work is to study the long-term outcomes of the effectiveness of treatment and preventive measures after the radical uranostaphyloplasty.
Research methods. In order to objectively assess the dental situation in 17 patients, we assessed the hygiene indices of Green-Vermillion, Silness-Loe, РМА SBI, saliva secretion rate, oral fluid pH, optical density, viscosity, α-amylase activity, medium molecular weight content, the presence of sialic acids, and the content of total protein and oxyproline.
Results and discussion. When examining children in 6 months after surgery, it was found out that during this period of time the Green-Vermillion, Silness-Loe and bleeding indexes worsened by 1,3; 1,2; 1,3 times, respectively, and the PMA index increased by 1,4 times.
The picture of changes in the physicochemical and biochemical components of oral fluid and its qualitative properties looks different. We would like to remind you that after the completion of the first course of treatment and prevention measures, we failed to normalize the levels of some of them. Over a period of time of 6 months, there was a deepening of the negative trend and the rate of salivation was by 1,3 times lower, but the activity of α-amylase improved by 1,2 times compared to the previous period of examination. The indexes of average mass molecules, sialic acids, total protein and oxyproline increased again by 1.5; 1,4; 1,2; 1,3 times, respectively.
The fact of the stability of indexes of hydrogen ion concentration, optical density and viscosity was encouraging, which indicated an improvement in the rheological properties of oral fluid. This situation prompts the need to develop new methodological approaches regarding long-term observation of children with congenital non-union of the palate and determining an algorithm for their medical support.
Conclusion. Persistent deterioration in hygiene indexes, periodontal tissue condition, salivary gland secretory activity, and qualitative properties of oral fluid cannot be fully resolved even in the long term after surgical intervention. This necessitates regular treatment and preventive measures, along with continuous improvement of these strategies.
Prospects for further research. Further research is planned.

The numerical distribution of anomalies and deformations of dentition in the adult population of Ukraine actualizes the development of new methods of orthodontic treatment of maxillofacial deformations.
The aim. To analyze dental occlusion in young patients who underwent orthodontic treatment before prosthetics to assess the distribution of vertical deformations of the dental rows in the buccal areas and investigate methods of their elimination.
Materials and methods. A retrospective investigation of the medical histories of 427 young people (228 women (53.4%) and 199 men (46.6%)) was carried out; consent for treatment was signed by 254 people (179 women and 75 men), which was 59.5% of the number of examined people. The sample identified the following pathological conditions that required orthodontic correction: abnormalities in the number of teeth in 3 persons (1.2%); retention in 1 person (0.4%); an abnormal position of teeth on the upper jaw in 158 people (62.5%) and 198 people (78%) on the lower jaw; malformation of the shape of dental rows in 208 people (82%) on the upper jaw and 220 people (86.6%) on the lower jaw, sagittal malocclusion in 32 people (12.3%), transversal malocclusion in 44 people (17, 2%), vertical malocclusion in 75 people (29.5%). 61 individuals (24%) were identified with partially edentulous dental rows, which were localized, mainly, in the lateral areas of the upper and lower jaws. In the selected sample, men predominated (40 people 65.6%), and a significantly smaller number of women (21 people 34.4%). Spaces with missing two and three teeth were present in some patients on the lower and upper jaws (12.5% of men and 9.5% of women). Distally located edentulous spaces were lesser extent compared to included defects (41% compared to 59%). Dentoalveolar deformities prevailed (95.1%): 38 men 62.3% and 20 women 32.8%.
The carried-out treatment with the appliance of the own design proved the effectiveness in the treatment of the II-III levels of vertical dentoalveolar distally located occlusal malformation, where it is difficult to provide anchorage for intrusion.
Further research is important for a detailed study of the use of fixed orthodontic appliances depending on the general somatic condition of patients and the condition of the jaw bone.

The aim of the study is to analyze the literature about the fluorosis prevalence and the factors which lead to dental and bone fluorosis.
The search for articles published in 2016-2023 was conducted by the authors in Scopus and Web of Science scientific data bases using the keywords “fluorosis”, “dental fluorosis”. To classify the severity of dental fluorosis, the index of developmental defects of enamel (DDE), the index of tooth surface fluorosis (TSIF), and mostly Dean’s index Thylstrup & Fejerskov Index (TFI) are used. The risk factors for dental fluorosis include living in regions with high level of fluoride, drinking water with high level of fluoride or salt fluoridation, drinking bottled water, use of fluoride toothpastes among preschool children, early weaning, and use of infant formula for long time, and, as well as, a hot climate and high fluoride content in soil and food.
The studies from India and China demonstrated that the average concentration of dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis at fluoride contained 6 mg/l. The prevalence of dental fluorosis in NorthernTanzania, where the fluorine content in daily drinking water is 3.6 mg/l, reaches 75,22%. In Ethiopia, where fluorine content is 5.09 mg/l, the prevalence of skeletal fluorosis ranges from 55.1% to 72.4%. In Kenya, the fluoride content in drinking water reaches 72 mg/l, so the prevalence of dental fluorosis is 80%. The prevalence of dental fluorosis is lower in South Western Saudi Arabia and Iran where fluoride level is lower. In Jordan, the prevalence of dental fluorosis reaches 39.9% due to the high fluoride content in miner rocks. Skeletal fluorosis is wide spread in some areas of Pakistan due to the contamination of ground water by industrial production. The prevalence of mild dental fluorosis is 39% in New castle where water is fluoridated, and 24% in non-fluoridated Manchester in England. Dean’s index and TFI index are mostly used to classify these variety of fluorosis. Various factors affect the appearance of dental and bone fluorosis worldwide, so the prevalence of fluorosis varies from 11,1 up to 100%.

Cultura colaborativa en la universidad: una asignatura pendiente
Authors: Potes Micaela Victoria
Published: June 2024

La presente investigación de corte cualitativo y de diseño fenomenológico, aborda la dimensión relacional de la cultura de trabajo docente, es decir, los patrones de relación que se establecen entre los profesores universitarios, desde la perspectiva teórica del investigador Andy Hargreaves. Siendo que los modos de asociación repercuten en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje, se propuso como objetivo describir los discursos que los docentes de la Licenciatura en Psicología de la Universidad de Flores construyen en torno a la cultura de trabajo. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una entrevista semi-estructurada a 10 profesores en ejercicio de la profesión, de diferente género y con distinta antigüedad. Los resultados sugieren: que el individualismo es la forma de asociación característica entre los docentes universitarios, aunque se observan ciertos indicios de balcanización; que el género y la antigüedad en la docencia universitaria no parecen estar asociados a la cultura de trabajo; que la escasez de tiempo representa un obstáculo para el trabajo colaborativo; y que las relaciones entre los profesores se encuentran atravesadas por la comunicación virtual.
