Abstract

Background:
Inadequate immunisation with diphtheria vaccine might lead to diphtheria outbreak, which actually occurred in 2022–2023 in Nigeria. We conducted a snapshot assessment of DPT/PENTA vaccination history to determine complete diphtheria vaccination coverage, dropout and zero-dose rates and associated factors among children born between 1 January 2007, and 10 February 2023, and living in Osogbo and two bordering local government areas (LGAs), Osun State.

Materials and Methods:
This was a household-based survey; with ethical approval, 250 households in five clusters were contiguously selected for face-to-face interviewer-based interaction using semi-structured questionnaires. Consenting caregivers of children in each household provided pertinent socio-demographic and diphtheria vaccination data. Results were analysed using the Mann–Whitney U-test and Binary Logistic Regression.

Results:
A total of 234 (93.6% [95% confidence interval (CI): 89.9%–96.0%]) children had vaccination cards; seven cards had no record of DPT/PENTA vaccination. Full diphtheria vaccination coverage (81.2% [95% CI: 75.9%–85.6%]) was acceptably high, with statistical association of five caregivers’ and two children’s variables. The PENTA1 to PENTA3 dropout rate (10.3% [95% CI: 6.9%–14.9%]) was higher than the WHO recommended threshold, indicating poor utilisation of immunisation services by the caregivers; one factor each of caregivers and children were associated with the dropout rate. The proportion (9.2% [95% CI: 6.2%–13.4%]) of children without evidence of PENTA vaccination (zero-dose rate) was also considerable, indicating lack of access of the children to immunisation services; three caregivers’ factors were associated with the zero-dose rate.

Conclusion:
The partially immunised/high dropout rate (incompletely immunised) and the 23 zero-dose children (non-immunised) could initiate diphtheria outbreak; while the high full coverage would make it low as observed in Osun State in 2023. The State’s health services need to increase efforts to ensure better utilisation of immunisation services and increase enlightenment campaigns on diphtheria and other childhood immunisations in the LGAs.

Abstract

Aim:
The purpose of the current study is to compare the effect of three different cavity disinfectants chlorhexidine (CHX), Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera) and Andrographis paniculata (Green Chiretta/Creat) on shear bond strength (SBS) of one bottle self-etch adhesive resin system.

Materials and Methods:
Forty mandibular teeth were horizontally sectioned with diamond disk and mandrel and were embedded in acrylic resin. The respective samples were divided randomly into four groups, namely control Group I (no pretreatment), Group II (CHX), Group III (Aloe barbadensiss), Group IV (A. paniculata). One bottle self-etch adhesive resin system was applied and nanohybrid resin composite cylinders were made and cured as per manufacturer’s instructions and SBS was measured using the universal testing machine. The modes of failure were analyzed under stereomicroscope for observation of resin–dentin interface. SBS results were then analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc test.

Results:
When the results were analyzed, it was evident that the control group (no pretreatment) was better than herbal disinfectants and CHX. On comparison between herbal disinfectants and chlorohexidine, A. barbadensis showed high significance and both herbal disinfectants were significant than gold standard CHX indicating that herbal disinfectants can be used as alternative cavity disinfectant to CHX.

Conclusion:
Within the limitation of this study, it is concluded that for immediate SBS, A. barbadensis was better than CHX and both the herbal disinfectants can be invariably used as a alternative to CHX as cavity disinfectants.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Radicular/periapical cyst is the common odontogenic cyst of the oral cavity and the second most frequent periapical lesion next to periapical granuloma. A key factor contributing to its formation is persistent nonresolving periapical infection with simple endodontic management. We present a case of the radicular cyst with actinomycotic infection as an accidental finding in a 26-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with periapical cyst by using clinical finding and intraoral periapical radiograph, the patient was taken under local anesthesia for surgical enucleation of the cyst, apicectomy with retrograde root canal filling in relation to 23 and 24. On histopathological examination, the case was diagnosed as a radicular cyst with concurrent actinomycotic infection histopathologically. This article aimed to report a case of a radicular cyst with actinomycotic infection in a maxillary anterior tooth and a detailed literature review on etiology, pathogenesis, dental considerations, and management of concurrent periapical actinomycotic infection.
Drug-induced Gingival Enlargement: A Case Study

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Drug-induced gingival enlargement (DIGE) is a common side effect of medications such as calcium channel blockers (e.g., nifedipine) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (e.g., telmisartan). This case involves a 35-year-old female with a 10-year history of hypertension, managed with a combination of nifedipine and telmisartan, who developed significant gingival overgrowth primarily affecting the anterior regions of both the maxillary and mandibular gingiva. The enlargement caused esthetic concerns and made oral hygiene maintenance difficult, leading to increased plaque buildup. The pathophysiology of DIGE is linked to fibroblast hyperactivity and excessive collagen production, resulting in gingival hypertrophy, with poor oral hygiene exacerbating the condition. Early detection and a multidisciplinary approach are critical to managing DIGE, which includes improving oral hygiene, adjusting medications, and considering surgical intervention when necessary. This case underscores the importance of regular dental monitoring for patients on long-term medication that may cause gingival overgrowth. Effective management requires close collaboration between dental and medical professionals to ensure comprehensive care and minimize the oral side effects associated with these commonly prescribed drugs.

Authors: Феклова Т.Ю. 
Published: February 2025

Русская Духовная миссия в Пекине существовала с 1713 до 1955 гг. Ее состав до начала XIX в. менялся один раз в 10 лет. Статья посвящена рассмотрению учеников / студентов как одной из групп в составе Русской Духовной миссии. Ученики, а впоследствии студенты, включались в миссию регулярно с 1727 по 1864 гг. В статье анализируются финансовые и карьерные аспекты пребывания их в составе миссии, а также многообразие их функций. Автор рассмотрел процесс взаимодействия студентов с различными научными организациями в России. Помимо этого, были затронуты вопросы пристального внимания государственных лиц к «использованию» студентов не только как важного элемента в системе изучения Китая, но и как инструмента, усиливающего влияние России на Дальнем Востоке. Делается вывод о важности данной категории в составе Русской Духовной миссии в Пекине в процессе изучения Китая и установления позитивных межгосударственных связей. В статье использованы данные из Русского государственного исторического архива, Санкт-Петербургского филиала архива Академии наук и Российской национальной библиотеки.
The Russian Orthodox Mission in Beijing existed from 1713 to 1955. Its structure changed every 10 years until the beginning of the XIX century. The article is devoted to the consideration of students as one of the groups in the Russian Orthodox Mission.

В статье исследуется исторический и современный вклад Русской Православной Церкви в Африку в качестве средства мягкой силы Российской Федерации. Статья рассматривает наряду с историческими фактами и социокультурным контекстом также политические и экономические причины влияния русского православия в регионе. В результате анализа статей, книг и исследований, подчеркивается, что миссионерская работа Русской Православной Церкви в Африке является неотъемлемой частью геополитической стратегии России, направленной на укрепление своих позиций на международной арене и создание положительного образа страны в глазах африканского населения. Такое влияние осуществляется на основе религиозной деятельности, образования, благотворительности и культурного обмена. Это является эффективным инструментом мягкой силы, позволяющим России укрепить свои дипломатические и экономические связи с африканским континентом и повысить свою влиятельность в регионе.
The article examines the historical and modern contribution of the Russian Orthodox Church to Africa as a tool of the Russian Federation’s soft power. The article examines, along with historical facts and the socio-cultural context, the political and economic reasons for the influence of Russian Orthodoxy in the region. As a result of the analysis of articles, books and studies, it is emphasized that the missionary work of the Russian Orthodox Church in Africa is an integral part of Russia’s geopolitical strategy aimed at strengthening its position in the international arena and creating a positive image of the country in the eyes of the African population. Such influence is carried out on the basis of religious activity, education, charity and cultural exchange. This is an effective tool of soft power, allowing Russia to strengthen its diplomatic and economic ties with the African continent and increase its influence in the region.
«Цезарепапизм» церковно-государственных отношений в православной империи: оценки историков и канонистов XIX–XX вв.
Authors: Бежанидзе Г.В. , Фирсов А.Г. 
Published: February 2025

Понятие «цезарепапизм» используется для характеристики средневековых церковно-государственных отношений в православных странах как минимум с середины XIX в. Обвинениям в цезарепапизме подвергалась и Русская Церковь, особенно в связи с синодальной реформой императора Петра I. В современной науке существует мнение, что этот термин не вполне подходит для характеристики положения Византийского императора в Церкви. Тем с большей осторожностью следует использовать его для петровской эпохи. В конце XIX — первой половине XX в. исследователи оценивали петровскую реформу с точки зрения современных им представлений о Церкви как общественной институции, независимой от государства. Но для церковно-государственных отношений в Российской империи начала XVIII в. более подходит средневековое понимание православного государства как христианского общества, в котором Церковь и государство связаны неразрывно.
The concept of “caesaropapism” has been used to characterize medieval churchstate relations in Orthodox countries since at least the middle of the 19th century. The Russian Church was also accused of Caesaropapism, especially in connection with the synodal reform of Emperor Peter I. There is an opinion in modern science that this term is not quite suitable for characterizing the position of the Byzantine emperor in the Church. The more caution should be used for the Petrine era. At the end of the 19th — the first half of the 20th century, researchers evaluated the Petrine reform from the point of view of their contemporary ideas about the Church as a public institution independent of the state. But for church-state relations in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 18th century, the medieval understanding of the Orthodox state as a Christian society, in which Church and state are inextricably linked, is more suitable.
Святитель Мардарий (Ускокович) и И. С. Пальмов
Authors: Костромин К.А. 
Published: February 2025

Известный сербский святитель, основатель Американо-Канадской сербской епархии, в дореволюционную эпоху жил в России и в 1916 г. закончил Петроградскую Духовную Академию. Его научным руководителем был профессор Академии Иван Саввич Пальмов, который сочувственно отнесся к его работе. Известно, что они пересекались и ранее, в рамках деятельности Славянского благотворительного общества. В статье история их контактов рассматривается в динамике и подвергается осмыслению. Использован еще неизвестный российским читателям важный исторический источник — мемуары святителя Мардария. Главные выводы статьи заключаются в том, написание иеромонахом Мардарием диссертации об А. С. Хомякове было в известной степени предопределено сходством взглядов будущего святителя и профессора Пальмова, которое проявилось во время их общения во внеакадемической активности обоих, что не помешало святителю Мардарию впоследствии занять кардинально иную идейную позицию, когда он оказался в США.
The famous Serbian saint, founder of the American-Canadian Serbian Diocese, lived in Russia in the pre-revolutionary era and graduated from the Petrograd Theological Academy in 1916. Its reviewer was Academy Professor Ivan Savvich Palmov, who was sympathetic to his work. It is known that they intersected earlier, as part of the activities of the Slavic Charitable Society. In the article, the history of their contacts is considered in dynamics and subjected to comprehension. An important historical source, still unknown to Russian readers, is used — the memoirs of St. Mardary. The main conclusions of the article is that the writing of a dissertation on A. S. Khomyakov by Hieromonk Mardary was to a certain extent predetermined by the similarity of the views of the future by the saint and Professor Palmov, who manifested itself during their communication in the extra-academic activity of both, which did not prevent Saint Mardary from subsequently taking a radically different ideological position when he ended up in the USA.

Jupyter Book as an open online teaching environment in the geosciences: lessons learned from Geo-SfM and Geo-UAV
Authors: Betlem Peter , Rodes Nil , Cohen Sara Mollie , Vander Kloet Marie A. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Together with our students, we co-created two open-access geoscientific course modules using the Jupyter Book environment. We also assessed the Jupyter Book environment, integrated with GitHub to facilitate versioning, for its suitability for co-creation and open learning. The modules implemented an online collection of videos, animations, code snippets, slides, and interactive material to complement the main text in a diverse open learning environment that is free and open to all. The modules' main topics included the geoscientific acquisition of unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) data and subsequent digital outcrop model processing through structure from motion (SfM) but also touched upon scientific problem solving and documentation. The two modules were iteratively revised over a 4-year period, steered through student contributions and pedagogic feedback. Student collaboration and co-creation fostered an interest in revising and updating the educational materials, with the important note that students were given ample introductions to the tools and time. We evaluated the framework and modules through in-class feedback, and students and external users were invited to participate in an online questionnaire (Table S1). Responses revealed the educational usefulness of the Jupyter Book–GitHub framework and that students valued the modules' accessibility; inclusivity; co-creation capabilities; interactivity; and blended use of text, multimedia, and animations. In summary, we succeeded in providing lasting, up-to-date and open course materials to a campus with a small department that does not have significant experience nor capacity in developing and maintaining open educational resources. Herein multi-disciplinary collaboration and student co-creation were key.
