Authors: Oliveira Alana , Spinola Vitoria , Garrido Deise , Teixeira Mario Meireles , Salles Carlos , Haddad Ana Estela
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to analyze the learning style of dentistry students in self-instructional courses to assist in pedagogical planning and to choose the most appropriate educational resources for the students’ learning profile. A sample of 122 students who responded to the Learning Styles Questionnaire was analyzed. For statistical purposes, correlation analysis, chi-square test, odds ratio, and Student’s t-test were performed. In the analyzed sample, there was a higher prevalence of students in the theoretical and reflector styles, and a lower prevalence of students in the activist and pragmatic styles. An analysis of educational resources demonstrated the predominance of theoretical and reflective content. The data show a statistically significant reduction of about 74% in the chances of passing for the activist-pragmatists group compared to other students (χ2(1, N = 122) = 5.795, p < 0.05, odds ratio = 0.26). On the other hand, reflector students who exhibited a lower preference for the activist style had a higher chance of course completion, with a 3.33-fold increase in the likelihood of passing the course (χ2(1, N = 122) = 5.637, p < 0.05, odds ratio = 3.33). These findings highlight the importance of considering students’ learning styles in educational planning and resource selection to optimize student performance. Further research is warranted to explore the implications of these findings and to investigate additional factors that may influence student success in self-instructional courses.

Published: July 2023

Background and Aim: Bovine coccidiosis, caused by the protozoa Eimeria, is an important parasitic cattle disease that affects animal health and has economic impact worldwide. This study was conducted to report the first molecular prevalence and genetic diversity of Eimeria spp. in dairy cattle in Khon Kaen province, Thailand, and to identify the risk factors associated with Eimeria spp. infection.

Materials and Methods: From July 2020 to October 2021, 296 fecal samples were collected from dairy cattle divided into three age groups, including <3-month-old calves, 3-month-old to 1-year-old calves, and >1-year-old cattle. Eimeria spp. were identified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifying 18S RNA gene and confirmed by DNA sequencing. Information regarding all associated risk factors was collected using questionnaires and analyzed using logistic regression tests in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program.

Results: Polymerase chain reaction results showed that 104 (35.13%) of 296 samples were positive for Eimeria spp. The <3-month-old calves (46.51%) had the highest infection rate. Moreover, multiplex PCR identified five species of Eimeria, namely, Eimeria bovis (32.69%), Eimeria zuernii (18.26%), Eimeria alabamensis (5.76%), Eimeria ellipsoidalis (3.84%), and Eimeria cylindrica (2.88%). An association was observed between risk factors and Eimeria spp. incidence (p < 0.05). DNA sequencing revealed the similarity of each Eimeria spp. with 91%–100% nucleotide identity. Phylogenetic tree analysis demonstrated the close relationships of clusters of E. bovis and E. zuernii, E. ellipsoidalis, and E. cylindrica and another cluster of E. alabamensis.

Conclusion: The results confirm that Eimeria spp. are commonly found in dairy cattle, especially calves. The molecular test could be powerful for species identification. This study also provides epidemiological information for developing future strategies to control bovine coccidiosis.

Keywords: bovine coccidiosis, dairy cattle, Eimeria spp., molecular prevalence, multiplex polymerase chain reaction, Thailand.
Child trafficking prevention and risk management in Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX), Philippines
Authors: Zabala Cedrick , Atilano-Tang Lesley Ann
Published: July 2023

This research investigates child trafficking prevention and risk management in Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX), Philippines, focusing on four research questions. Firstly, it explores the factors contributing to child trafficking in the region. Secondly, it examines the existing preventive measures and their effectiveness. Thirdly, it assesses the challenges faced in managing child trafficking risks. Lastly, it identifies potential strategies to enhance prevention and risk management efforts. Based on the analysis, one prominent Public Administration theory, the New Public Management (NPM) theory, is integrated to provide insights into the findings. The NPM theory emphasizes performance-based management, decentralization, and accountability, which can be instrumental in combating child trafficking. The research findings reveal that socio-economic factors, lack of awareness, and weak law enforcement contribute to the prevalence of child trafficking in Zamboanga Peninsula. While preventive measures such as awareness campaigns and community-based initiatives are in place, their effectiveness is hindered by limited resources and coordination challenges. Moreover, the study identifies inadequate interagency collaboration, insufficient data collection, and limited access to education and social services as key challenges in managing child trafficking risks. To enhance prevention and risk management, the research recommends strengthening interagency cooperation, allocating adequate resources, improving data collection and analysis, and ensuring comprehensive support services for at-risk children.

АРТЕРИАЛЬНАЯ ГИПЕРТЕНЗИЯ КАК ФАКТОР РИСКА ГЕСТАЦИОННОГО ДИАБЕТА
Authors: Атаджанова М. М. , Ибрагимова Н. Ш. , Шарипова М. к.
Published: July 2023

До настоящего времени скрининг гестационного сахарного диабета (ГСД) не включен в стандарты об-

следования беременных в Узбекистане.

ЦЕЛЬ: изучение влияния этиологических индексов на развитие ГСД.

МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ: в Республиканском Скрининг-центре обследовано 306 беременных без

нарушений углеводного обмена на 11-13 неделях беременности (анкетирование, антропометрия, АД,

УЗИ плода, забор крови из локтевой вены натощак на предмет врожденных пороков развития + по 5мл

на дообследование (глюкозу, липиды и др.). На 28-32 неделях данным беременным проведен перораль-

ный глюкозотолерантный тест для выявления ГСД. Статистическая обработка данных проводилась с по-

мощью программы IBM SPSS Statistics 23. Были рассчитаны отношения шансов (ОШ) и 95% доверительный

интервал (ДИ).

РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ: ГСД выявлен у 52 пациенток, что составило 18,1% (что связано с направлением

в скрининг-центр женщин старше 30 лет, имеющих хронические заболевания и отягощенный анамнез).

При анализе факторов, оказывающих влияние на развитие ГСД, на первое место вышли гипертензивные

нарушения: преэклампсия - 15,5 (95%ДИ 1,58-152) и гестационная артериальная гипертензия - 15,2 (95%ДИ

3,88-59,5) в прошлую беременность, наследственная отягощенность по СД 2 типа 10,8 (95%ДИ 4,57-25,7),

гестационная артериальная гипертензия в настоящую беременность 10,6 (95%ДИ 3,93-28,5) и хроническая

артериальная гипертензия 7,74 (95%ДИ 2,35-25,5). Традиционные индексы риска (избыток массы тела, более

старший возраст, крупный плод) имели гораздо меньшее влияние на развитие ГСД.

По нашим данным, гипертензивные нарушения являются одним из основных факторов, способствующих

развитию гестационного диабета.

ВЫВОДЫ: беременные с гипертензивными нарушениями должны быть обследованы на наличие геста-

ционного диабета, не дожидаясь традиционных сроков (до 24 недель беременности).

Authors: Calvin Esagu John , Warsito Budi , Hidayat Jafron Wasiq , Gertrude Akello , Paul Gudoyi M , Ahmed Kamil
Published: July 2023

Charcoal remains the main energy cooking source for urban dwellers in Uganda. The Shea Nut tree produces quality charcoal which is efficient and locally made. Therefore, it is facing increasing threats from the local communities so as to meet the mushrooming demand. The study analyses the state of the Shea Nut tree, drivers of charcoal production, predict Shea Nut tree vegetation coverage, and establish mechanisms for sustainable utilization and conservation of the Shea Nut trees in Kapelebyong District. Landsat images were classified using likelihood classification in ArcGIS and interviews were conducted whilst geospatial, Stata, and Nvivo tools were used for analysis. The findings reflect a sharp declining trend in the coverage of the shea Nut trees by 2.3% and 6% from 2002-2012 and 2012-2022 respectively. The major drivers include high demand from urban areas, the need for income, and unemployment. As a result, it is predicted that by 2032, the coverage will have reduced to only 713 hectares (7.3%) from 1277 hectares (10.6%) in 2022. Therefore, charcoal production with other land uses has greatly resulted in Shea Nut tree deterioration. The study recommends the use of alternative energy sources, the provision of alternative income-generating activities for the local communities, Government of Uganda through NFA needs to enforce the ways through which Shea Nut trees are managed and utilized in order to minimize illegal cutting.

Authors: Hanchev K. S. , Kokar O. O.
Published: July 2023

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is an inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa, which has a chronic course with periods of remission and exacerbations. RAS requires adequate diagnosis for the purposes of properly treating.
The study on RAS remains relevant over many years and continues to be a priority in modern dentistry.
The aim of the work is to analyze the information in the professional literature on pathogenetic variants of RAS and approaches to its treatment and prevention.
Despite the variety of studies, the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease remain the subject of numerous discussions.
This article provides a review of current research on the main etiopathogenetic mechanisms of the disease development and progression, specifies current recommendations for therapeutic approaches to treatment and prevention.
Conclusions. To date, there is no definitive therapeutic tactic for recurrent aphthous stomatitis, so it is advisable to systematize and study methods for the prevention and treatment of this pathology, including pain relief, acceleration of ulcer healing and reduction of its episode frequency and severity.
Considering the etiopathogenetic variant of the disease development (metabolic disorders, stress, allergies, etc.), preventive measures should be comprehensive and include oral hygiene, a sparing diet, multivitamin and micro-, macroelement complexes, etc.

Authors: Dorofieiev A. E. , Dorohavtseva H. A.
Published: July 2023

The aim of the study was to analyze the age structure, correlation with body mass index in patients with symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease (SUDD) in the central region of Ukraine. To reveal the prevalence of left-sided, right-sided or total diverticular lesions of the large intestine, to evaluate the microbiota composition, to identify peculiarities of the enterotype.
Materials and methods. The study included 125 patients with SUDD aged 18 to 90 years who were at a Gastroenterology Hospital in the period from 2019 to 2022. All the patients were residents of the central region of Ukraine. Body mass index was calculated for all patients, total colonoscopy was performed, and fecal analysis was done using culturing and qRT-PCR methods.
Results. The incidence of SUDD among patients in the central region of Ukraine increases with age and reaches its peak in the 71–80 age group. Almost all age groups are dominated by women. Left-sided localization of diverticula occurs in 84.8 % of patients, right-sided in 8.0 %, total in 7.2 %. The majority of patients with diverticular disease (87.2 %) are overweight or with varying degrees of obesity. Patients with SUDD are characterized by a decrease in the main representatives of obligate microflora, namely, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli. In 46.4 % of patients, representatives of opportunistic flora are detected, in 24.0 % – an increase in fungi from the genus Candida. Also, changes in enterotypes are detected, namely an increase in Firmicutes and Actinobacteria, with a decrease in Bacteroides. The number of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii tends to decrease, while the Akkermansia muciniphila count is unchanged.
Conclusions. The incidence of SUDD increases with age among the population of the central region of Ukraine. Among patients with SUDD, women predominate in almost all age groups. 87.2 % of patients with SUDD are overweight or with various degrees of obesity.

Możliwości adaptacyjne poznańskich powojennych osiedli mieszkaniowych do zmian klimatu
Authors: Szumigała Karolina Olenia , Kozaczko Mieczysław , Szumigała Paweł Piotr
Published: July 2023

Artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowanie przykładów osiedli, których struktury urbanistyczne i struktury zieleni stwarzają różne możliwości adaptacji do zmian klimatu. W artykule przedstawiono analizy jakościowe (metodą studium przypadku) dla dziesięciu wybranych osiedli mieszkaniowych miasta Poznania w aspekcie możliwości adaptacji do zmian klimatu. Wybrane przykłady scharakteryzowano z uwzględnieniem następujących cech: powierzchnia całkowita osiedla, powierzchnia zieleni, powierzchnia zabudowy, kubatura zabudowy, liczba mieszkańców, przeważające struktury zieleni w obrębie osiedli, liczba miejsc parkowania, rok powstania osiedla. Na podstawie tych cech opracowano wskaźniki natężenia zieleni. Następnie metodą porządkowania liniowego sporządzono ranking rozpatrywanych osiedli. Osiedla z połowy i końca XX w. charakteryzuje znacznie większy udział terenów zieleni oraz wysokie walory krajobrazowe, które są skutkiem stosowania dawnego normatywu urbanistycznego i obowiązującego wówczas reżimu funkcjonalnego, krajobrazowego i użytkowego dla osiedli mieszkaniowych. Wyniki wskazują, że osiedla te mają znacznie większy potencjał adaptacyjny do zmian klimatu w przeciwieństwie do osiedli współczesnych. W  celu zobiektywizowania tej tezy dokonano jej częściowej weryfikacji, analizując wycinkowo zależność niektórych ilościowych parametrów użytkowych osiedli od natężenia zieleni: jej możliwości filtracyjnych i czystości powietrza, energochłonności ogrzewania budynków i komfortu ruchu pieszego w przestrzeniach między budynkami. Jak się okazuje, parametry te można m.in. w znacznym stopniu kształtować za pomocą odpowiednich układów zieleni.

Published: July 2023

Objective

The physical properties and wettability of 3-D printed Polyethylene terephthalate – glycol (PET-G) and Poly(lactic) acid (PLA) dental sectional matrices were investigated.

Methods

Experimental matrices was designed in a rectangular shape one-side depression corresponds to gingival col and without sharp edges and printed on FDM machine Ender Pro 3 (Creality®, Shenzhen, China). The physical textures, thicknesses, water contact angles were compared to conventional stainless steel (SS) matrix.

Results

PETG and PLA sample matrices were clinically single-side smooth compared to SS matrix. PETG specimens had uniformly 0.055 mm whereas PLAs were non-uniformly ∼0.065–0.075 mm in thickness. The mean ± standard deviation (SS) of contact angle for SS was 78.29 ± 0.18, for PETG was 72.09 ± 0.94, for PLA was 73.03 ± 1.17.

Conclusion

PETG and PLA dental matrices might have desirable properties: being hydrophobic, non-charged, easy to manufacture and mimicking the gingival col depression in the dental interproximal contact area.
The feasibility of a mystery case curriculum to enhance diagnostic reasoning skills among medical students: a process evaluation
Authors: Snyder Christopher , Smith Michael , Snyder Kailey
Published: July 2023

Objectives

Within a Hospital Medicine division at a large academic institution, an innovative program has been developed to offer third year medical learners enrolled in their Internal Medicine Clerkship the opportunity to deepen their diagnostic reasoning skills with a weekly case-based learning activity entitled “Hospital Medicine’s Mystery Case of the Week”. The mystery case curriculum has four primary learning objectives (1): To understand the value of employing a multisystem approach to a common presenting problem (2); To apply a diagnostic schema to a clinical problem (3); To apply knowledge of cost appropriate workups to a clinical case and (4) To identify cognitive biases that can influence decision making in the context of treating a clinical problem.

Methods

A process evaluation of the mystery case curriculum was conducted over a 6-month implementation period. The process evaluation was guided by eight domains of focus: program acceptability, demand, implementation, practicality, adaptation, integration, expansion and limited-efficacy testing. Measures included a pre/post mixed-methods survey, attendance log and timesheet. Pre/post survey data was analyzed via paired samples t-tests and open-ended responses were analyzed via a deductive content analysis.

Results

Process evaluation findings demonstrated the program had high levels of acceptability and demand. Survey findings suggest the curriculum may increase feelings of preparedness for Internal Medicine exams as well as student interest, comfort and confidence related to diagnostic processes.

Conclusions

Future evaluations should work to understand the influence this curriculum has on diagnostic accuracy within a clinical setting.

When a patient presents with head, neck, or respiratory concerns, the scalene muscles are not commonly considered. However, somatic dysfunctions of the anterior/middle scalenes (AMS) can be contributing to or causing these medical concerns. Although tender points within the scalene muscles have been documented within the muscle belly, they have not been documented at the insertion site. This article details how to diagnose and treat an AMS tender point with an efficient technique that requires minimal exertion and maximal comfort for both the physician and patient at a new tender point location. This article also discusses the importance of this tender point and provides a list of additional somatic dysfunctions that may be used to problem-solve a scalene tender point that fails to correct.
Experimental evidence of hydrogen evolution from local anodic corrosion sites and its consequences for corrosion cracking mechanisms
Authors: Hoffmeister Hans , Heuser Eike
Published: July 2023

Based on observation of gas bubbles evolving from crevices on slow strain rate test pieces during anodic corrosion the effect of applied potentials in chloride aqueous solutions on amount and composition of the gas together with fracture strains from the slow strain rate test of a 17-4 PH steel was investigated. As a result, increasing applied potentials provide a reduction of fracture strains together with an initial increase in volume of released hydrogen gas. The fracture surfaces exhibit increasing brittle appearance, as found in hydrogen cracking failures. The results confirm that during local anodic corrosion, hydrogen is produced that provokes hydrogen induced cracking following anodic dissolution. Respective local pH measurements under varying applied electric potentials, show the acidification of the pit-electrolyte. Additional model calculations elucidate the stepwise local anodic corrosion and its acidification process together with the hydrogen supported cracking. The model shows that the relative amount of hydrogen cracking will depend on the provided material data as well as on solution properties such as pH, chloride level, temperature and oxygen content. As an all over result, together with the model calculations, the experimental evidence of hydrogen evolution during anodic local corrosion confirms the contribution of hydrogen cracking to anodic stress corrosion cracking.

Authors: Liu Yue , Li Wanchun , Gao Haiyan , Xu Hujun
Published: July 2023

In the present work, the anionic biomass surfactant cardanol sulfonate (CDS) was compounded in different molar fractions (α
1) with the commonly used amphoteric surfactant lauryl amidopropyl betaine (LAB) and the nonionic surfactant alkyl glycoside (APG), respectively. By measuring the surface tension of the binary compound system, the relationship between the surface chemical properties of the compound system and α
1 was investigated, and then the synergistic parameters and thermodynamic parameters of the compound system were calculated. The results showed that both CDS/LAB and CDS/APG systems exhibited non-ideal mixing behavior. The CDS/LAB compound system has the best synergistic effect when the two components were mixed in a 1:1 molar ratio, corresponding to a CMC of 3.06 × 10−4 mol L−1 and a γ
CMC of 32.60 mN m−1. The formation of mixed micelles was a spontaneous exothermic process driven by enthalpy. The CDS/APG compound system at the molar ratio of n(APG): n(CDS) = 9:1 has a more significant synergistic effect, corresponding to a CMC of 1.13 × 10−4 mol L−1 and a γ
CMC of 29.10 mN m−1. The application performance of the compound systems was the best at the optimal molar ratio, which confirms the existence of synergistic effect in the compound systems.
Toward a Method to Predict Thermo-mechanical Properties of High-Strength Concrete Placements
Authors: Carey Ashley S. , Roberson Madeleine M. , Howard Isaac L. , Shannon Jay
Published: July 2023

In this article, the merits of a thermo-mechanical framework to estimate properties of high-strength concrete are evaluated for potential standardization as a test method. Previous work conducted by the authors was summarized to show the individual advancements toward development of a laboratory testing framework. Most notably, laboratory-based curing protocols have been shown to produce temperature profiles that were similar to mass placements and achieving peak temperatures that were within 2°C of peak temperatures recorded in a mass high-strength concrete placement. Additionally, current testing methods to determine thermo-mechanical properties of mass concrete placements were reviewed, and a clear disconnect was noticed between methods that are predictive as well as a direct measure of mechanical properties. Based on this review of literature and the advancements summarized by the authors, a testing framework is proposed that takes the first steps toward filling this gap in literature of creating a predictive testing protocol that is also a direct measurement of mechanical properties.
