Authors: Duaa Kamal Naji  , Zainab Juma Jafar
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND: Local anesthetics are the gold standard for pain control in dentistry. Most patients still view the “needle” as a source of anxiety and disruptive behavior rather than relief. The patient’s cooperation and comfort level will increase with the administration of painless local anesthetic injection using appropriate technique. The purpose of this study was to assess the patient cooperation and behavior after receiving local anesthesia injection and to compare patients’ acceptance and preference of needleless NumBee anesthetic delivery device to conventional dental syringe.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 30 non-fearful 6-8-year-olds who had never been to the dentist were selected for the study using a split-mouth design. They underwent a simple class I restoration on both mandibular permanent first molar teeth in two separated dental visits. The Frankl behavior rating scale was used to assess patient behavior following injection. Patients expressed their preference and acceptance of the used syringes by answering a questionnaire.
RESULTS: After injection by either method, 25 patients had Frankl behavior rating score of 4. Patients that had a negative response with the traditional method, showed a score of 2, following NumBee injection (p=0.035).
CONCLUSION: Patients accepted both methods, and NumBee may induce less fear, with minimum stinging and unpleasant taste.

Una caracterización de los cambios en la distribución del ingreso en Argentina en el período 1992-2014 mediante un análisis de microdescomposiciones
Authors: César Andrés
Published: January 2024

Este trabajo caracteriza la evolución de la distribución personal del ingreso de la población urbana argentina durante el período 1992-2014 utilizando un análisis de microdescomposiciones econométricas. Los resultados sugieren que la dinámica del mercado laboral de los hombres es el determinante principal de los cambios observados en la distribución del ingreso per cápita familiar durante todo el período analizado. El incremento de los retornos a la educación explica alrededor de un 45 por ciento del aumento de la desigualdad de ingresos laborales entre 1992 y 1999, mientras la disminución de dichos retornos explica un 60 por ciento de la reducción de la desigualdad de ingresos laborales del período 2006-2014. La situación laboral de las mujeres amortigua una parte no menor (15 por ciento) del deterioro distributivo ocurrido durante la crisis socioeconómica de 1999-2002. El aumento de los ingresos no laborales, derivado principalmente de la ampliación de la cobertura de la red de seguridad social, explica alrededor de un tercio de la mejora distributiva ocurrida durante el período 2006-2014.

Provisioning the Requirement: Machine Gun Needs of the British Expeditionary Force in France, 1914-1916
Authors: Fisher Richard
Published: January 2024

At the outbreak of the First World War, the British Army was in the process of replacing its Maxim machine guns with the Vickers machine gun it had adopted in 1912. Although both weapons were of the same calibre and shared some common accessories, they were not wholly compatible. Furthermore, with the expansion of the British Expeditionary Force and the concomitant need to increase its automatic firepower, the introduction of more machine guns had to be managed with increased demand and complexity, with additional new models introduced as the war progressed. By analysing the war diaries of the lines of communication, this article evaluates the rollout of the Vickers and later models, and the implications their introduction had on logistics, personnel, and organisation across the Force. It is hoped this approach will offer an insight into the prioritisation and decision-making of this critical period, as well as an opportunity to understand the growing importance of the machine gun ahead of the formation of the Machine Gun Corps in October 1915.
Public relations strategy in a Japanese college tennis team during COVID-19: Factors for joining the team
Authors: Hotta Shion , Hioki Kazuki
Published: January 2024

The spread of the novel coronavirus infection that began in 2020 has forced the cancellation of many competitive sports events. This has made it difficult for college sports teams to recruit top athletes at athletic venues and has also forced the cancellation of face-to-face recruiting activities for general freshmen. Under these unprecedented circumstances, online publicity strategies have become particularly important. In this study, we attempted to analyze the effectiveness of the public relations strategy of the Y tennis team of K University by focusing on the factors that were decisive in new students’ decisions to join the team. The results showed that the decisive factors were “enriched practice environment” and “compatibility with academic work.” It was also found that approximately 40% of the new members decided to join the team after receiving information on Twitter and participating in online information sessions. In this paper, we propose effective public relations strategies while drawing actual examples from public relations strategies in practice.
Tennis development at the ground level: Coaches’ perceptions of how incentive structures impact the development systems national tennis associations implement
Authors: Horne Edward
Published: January 2024

National Tennis Associations operate within the confines of a market-driven environment. An environment creating incentive structures forcing NTAs to be cognizant of revenue generation, which may impact how tennis development systems are designed and implemented, affecting how tennis products and services are delivered at the micro-level. Therefore, the study sought to examine coaches’ perspectives of how tennis delivery at the ground level is shaped by the incentive structures created by NTAs’ implementation of tennis development systems. Findings from eight interviews with experienced coaches demonstrate how coaches feel compelled to compromise some of their ideals in their delivery of tennis services, feel the pressure of competitive youth tennis can be overwhelming for players, and believe a team-oriented tournament structure can alleviate some of the concerns arising from extant incentive structures. Findings show the need to consider how tennis’s existence in a market-driven economy shapes how tennis is managed and delivered, and provide an initial foundation for future research.

Evaluating biochemical and pharmacological properties of Curcuma longa L. grown organically in two locations of Odisha, India: In vitro study
Authors: Jyotirmayee B , Nayak Santi Swarup , Mohapatra Namrata , Mishra Monali Priyadarsini , Samal Himansu Bhusan , Mahalik Gyanranjan
Published: January 2024

Organic farmers use nitrogen-fixing cover crops, herbicides, and biological fertilizers derived chiefly from animal and plant wastes. Curcumin levels are higher in this turmeric variety than in other types with differing pharmacological effects. Growing concerns about the safety of chemical fertilizers have heightened the need to identify locally adapted microbial strains that can be employed as a growth-promoting inoculum. Although research on the microbial diversity of the soil in Kandhamal and Koraput, India, was published, there is still a lack of information about the microbial community of the turmeric that is indigenous to these regions. This research compares and contrasts organically grown turmeric's growth-promoting and antibacterial activities with normally developed turmeric. This is a preliminary study that focuses on the microbiota communities of the study region. In vitro results showed that these properties have been shown to positively affect the development and nutritional content of studied turmeric plants; hence, they are regarded as key plant growth promoters. Using conventional and organic soil, both Kandhamal and Koraput rhizome sample was planted. The aqueous and methanolic rhizome extracts from both soil conditions were extracted. The Agar well diffusion method examined the rhizome extract's antibacterial activity. Bacteria were isolated and characterized from the rhizosphere and conducted various biochemical experiments. When tested against nine human pathogenic microorganisms, rhizomes harvested with vermicompost showed significantly increased antibacterial activity. The rhizospheric bacteria isolated from the organic soil region also help promote plant growth and development and provide adequate nutrients for growth and development. In every single experiment, the organically produced rhizome yielded superior results. The present study concludes that organic turmeric showed better and more effective results in increasing nutrient content, antibacterial activity and yield. Potential field applications necessitate more study into these rhizobacteria's molecular and functional characterization. Future improvements to biocontrol methods may come from studies examining the viability of deploying integrative, long-term bio-formulations in the field. The present research can potentially be used to investigate antibiotic synthesis by microbial communities in turmeric soil.

Published: January 2024

In the frame of the ASTEP project two prototypes of the Sundial collector, together with a Phase Change Material Thermal Energy Storage, will be tested integrated with the industrial processes of two sites. However, the size of the pilot systems will not be optimized for commercialization. The present work considers the scale-up of the concept for one of the pilot industrial sites: a dairy industry located in Greece, and how will the thermal losses of the system must be considered with the increased aperture, thermal storage size and energy output. For the scaling up of the system, the capacities of the Sundial, demand and TES were doubled and multiplied by 10, and the thermal losses of both nominal conditions and annual performance were considered. The results showed that the ratio between the piping heat losses and the total available energy decreased when scaling-up the system both in the nominal and in the annual results. Hence, the heat losses lost importance when scaling up, when more energy was available. These facts should be considered when evaluating the performance of the pilots and feasibility of the concept.

Published: January 2024

Metaphor has not received the necessary attention in language learning and teaching because it has always been narrowly understood as a rhetorical device. The author of this article will provide a broad interpretation of metaphor, emphasizing that it is not only a rhetorical device, but also a way of thinking and an effective way to grasp the true meaning of language. Only after realizing the important role of metaphor in English teaching can teachers improve students’ metaphorical cognition and critical thinking abilities in their teaching practice, and consciously explore the true meaning and cultural background behind language. Therefore, only by making good use of metaphors can teachers effectively promote English teaching.

This study explored the self-identity development of children with non-suicidal self-injury behavior through a feminist-oriented group counseling program intervention. This study adopted an action research approach and included five participants from the sixth grade: four females and one male. The group met once a week for 40 minutes each time, for eight weeks. The group project involved doctrines of feminist counseling theory, including awareness, empowerment, narrative, and equality. Data were collected through the researcher’s reflections, observer’s notes, and interviews with the participants and with the participants’ teachers and parents. The researcher analyzed data and verified the analysis by using the triangulation method. This study’s findings are summarized as follows: 1. The narratives, equality, and supportive care that the feminist group counseling approach emphasizes provided the self-harm student participants the opportunities to tell and re-tell their life stories; disclosing their stories helped them connect to the other participants. 2. The group counseling intervention helped students aware of their social roles, transform their thoughts into a positive perspective, and enhance their capacities to change. 3. The common experience that the students shared during the group process helped reduce their loneliness, rethink their self-harm behaviors, and face their true selves openly. 4. Through the group process, students gained more awareness and confidence regarding their strengths in abilities, enhanced their sense of power, and fostered a strong sense of self-identity. 5. The action and change during the group process facilitated the students’ self-empowerment, enriched their self-identity and self-acceptance, and finally, helped them implement changes in everyday life.

 
論衡平原則在解決越南家庭糾紛中之角色
Authors: 阮碧草 阮碧草 , 吳清香 吳清香
Published: January 2024

隨著越南社會經濟的快速發展，家庭糾紛日益複雜，出現新的法律問題或新類型的糾紛。這對法院提出了重大挑戰，因為成文法無法跟上社會的變化。因此，2015年最新的越南民法典擴大了民法之法源，包括法律條文、法律類推適用、民法基本原則、習慣法、裁判先例和衡平原則（公平原則）。為配合此一重大進展，2015年民事訴訟法亦承認了一項新原則，即法院不得以沒有適用的法律規定為由拒絕解決民事糾紛。越南法院最近以衡平原則來支持其判決中的推理者，不在少數。通過分析幾起著名的家事事件，作者認為衡平原則毋寧已逐漸成為解決家庭糾紛的重要法源。首先，衡平原則有助於解明和補充現行立法中未明確規定的法律問題。其次，衡平原則可以填補現行立法的漏洞，幫助法院針對新型糾紛提出創造性的解決方案。但在實踐中，法院對於適用衡平原則和受理第一印象事件仍猶豫不決。本文的結論是，越南法院現在應該更有信心地在解決家事事件時運用衡平原則，以增加獲致司法正義的機會。本文還強調，適用衡平原則的需要並非越南獨有，而且於不斷變化和不確定的世界中，這種需要是普遍存在的，因為成文法永遠無法預見和管轄所有私法關係。

方向變換逆差為敏捷測驗的重要指標
Authors: 黃柏翰 黃柏翰 , Po-Han Huang 陳重佑
Published: January 2024

變向 (change of direction, COD) 是運動員執行多方向移動的必要能力，變向能力可以透過專項訓練、敏捷性訓練、和技術發展提升，俾使競技運動比賽時的戰略成功達到攻防合一。過去發展許多關於變向、敏捷性的測驗，如：折返跑、505敏捷測驗或專業敏捷測驗等，這些田野方法通常用動作時間測量敏捷性，而變向動作則有採用生物力學研究方法的量化分析探討其動作特徵。但是，這些動作時程較長的單一測驗結果，卻也夾雜了衝刺能力、無氧代謝能力等因素。方向變換逆差 (change of direction deficit, CODD) 參數的發展，乃是通過數學的扣除方法，結合了純粹衝刺與變向衝刺等二項測驗的結果，能夠更精準地獲得敏捷能力的指標。本文整合了敏捷測驗、變向技能個別差異與生物力學特徵的過去相關文獻，提供教練員、肌力與體能訓練專家、運動員、體育教師在運動現場監控敏捷表現的資訊，也提醒方向變換逆差的參數是國際正發展評估敏捷能力具高靈敏度及準確度的指標，其信度與效度議題則有發展及探索的價值。

 

Change of direction (COD) is an essential ability for athletes to perform multi-directional locomotion. COD can be enhanced through specific training, agility training, and technique development in order to successfully achieve the tactics of defense and offense within sport activities. Previous studies have developed many COD and agility tests, such as shuttle runs, 505 agility tests, and pro-agility tests. These field tests are used to assess agility by measuring movement time. There has been quantitative analysis of COD movements through a biomechanical approach to identify movement characteristics. However, using single outcome measures with long movement duration can blend the factors of sprint ability and anaerobic capacity. The development of the parameter of change-of-direction deficit (CODD) is a subtractive method in mathematics that combines two measurements to evaluate the index of agility precisely. This article summarizes previously published material on individual differences and biomechanical characteristics of COD skills to provide sport instructors, strength and conditioning specialists, athletes, or physical educators with information to monitor agility performance in the field. CODD is a sensitive and precise indicator for assessing agility. It is worth developing and exploring the issues of reliability and validity.

EU’S SOUTHERN NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICY TOWARDS LIBYA AND SYRIA
Authors: RAȚIU Vasile-Dumitru
Published: January 2024

The EU is actively involved in the dynamics of the states in its immediate vicinity to make them more stable. This involvement requires a high financial effort. In this paper I will analyse how the European Union (EU) implemented and intends to continue the neighbourhood policy with two states that went through the “Arab Spring” and became conflict zones. For the states in question, namely Libya and Syria, EU provides humanitarian aid and wishes them to recover from their failed state. The main objectives pursued by the EU within the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) are stabilization of neighbouring countries, promotion of EU key interests and facilitation of regional cooperation. In addition to the neighbourhood policy instrument, between the EU and the two states there is a significant increase in trade relations from year to year. This increase in economic exchanges also leads to a deepening of bilateral relations. This rapprochement can transpose models of good governance from the EU to these failed states, and over time can create an environment conducive to state reconstruction, where the citizen is at the centre of attention and the rulers’ own interests are no longer at the forefront. The purpose of the paper is to analyse the EU southern neighbourhood policy, with an emphasis on Libya and Syria. The starting hypothesis of the research is that the EU’s ENP aid to Libya and Syria ensures minimal stability for the two countries and a better neighbourhood for it. As a working methodology, I will use the qualitative analysis of documentary materials.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND SECURITY: THE CASE FOR BLACK SEA
Authors: MIHAILOV Maria-Emanuela , GRIGORESCU Lucian , PERA Romel
Published: January 2024

Climate change poses significant challenges to global security by exacerbating existing threats and creating new ones. Competition over scarce resources such as food, water, and land will likely increase as extreme weather events and temperature rise will become more frequent. Climate-related migration is expected to increase political tensions, and in some regions, could contribute to instability and conflict. The changing climate will also impact infrastructure, the economy, and public health, which will have far-reaching security implications. The current issue of climate change highlights the spectre of a new source of instability and conflict that can affect national/international peace and security. Although comparative research and projects on the security implications of climate change are expanding, there are still major knowledge gaps. The paper presents the specialized literature on short-term climate change and its possible influence on the Black Sea regional security. It is increasing the potential insecurities that can arise from extreme environmental phenomena. Based on the assessment, the authors outline priorities for future research in the area of interest and cover the necessary adjustments to facilities, materials, and equipment due to progressive weather changes. It also highlights that natural disasters may increase in number or virulence, necessitating the contribution of armed forces to national security.
