The Information Game
Authors: Bowen Robert M. , Jollineau S. Jane , Pfeiffer Glenn M. 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACT
Students want to know why accounting and auditing are important. The Information Game is a classroom resource that introduces the role of accounting, the value of information, the value of auditing, and the importance of auditor independence in an easy-to-use, fun exercise for the first day of class. Students experience the value of (accounting) information and auditing during the game. The Teaching Notes that accompany this case provide (1) additional commentary on the game, (2) post-game questions, (3) a suggested script, and (4) a summary of concepts, analogies, and takeaways that help students appreciate the importance of accounting and auditing in the global market economy. An anonymous survey of those who have used the Information Game suggests that instructors find the game highly effective and generally easy to use. Instructors tend to occasionally refer back to the game's concepts and takeaways during the remainder of their course.
Peer Assessments of research Advisors and effects on investments in teaching
Authors: Eckhaus Eyal , Davidovitch Nitza 
Published: September 2020

In recent years, research on faculty performance measures has increased. Although peer reviews are an integral part of faculty’s work and require time investment, they are typically not considered in measuring faculty performance. The aim of this research was to investigate associations between evaluations of peers’ performance as research advisors, and teaching perceptions. We employed Exploratory Factor Analysis, followed by Structural Equation Modeling, to test our model’s goodness-of-fit. Results show that the stronger the satisfaction from assessing peers’ performance as advisors, the greater the perceived significance of teaching. Excellence in teaching also effects teaching perceptions. Furthermore, female faculty members gained more satisfaction from assessing peers than did males. It has been argued that there is no association between teaching and assessing peers’ performance as research advisors. The findings of this study address the literature gap regarding the link between teaching quality and research, by employing the Projection theory.

Pendahuluan: Bruxism adalah aktivitas parafungsi oklusal pada siang atau malam hari dimana terjadi grinding, clenching, dan gnashing. Bruxism dapat memberikan tekanan berlebih pada tulang sehingga tulang beradaptasi melalui proses remodeling tulang yang dapat mengubah jumlah, densitas, dan ketinggian tulang. Perubahan yang terjadi pada tulang dapat dianalisis dengan mengukur ketinggian tulang kortikal mandibula. Salah satu metode pengukuran yang dapat digunakan adalah indeks panoramik mandibula (PMI) melalui radiografi panoramik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis perbedaan ketinggian tulang kortikal mandibula pada penderita dan bukan penderita bruxism. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik cross sectional. Sampel penelitian ini terdiri dari dua kelompok, yaitu 30 sampel radiograf panoramik digital penderita bruxism dan 30 sampel radiograf panoramik digital bukan penderita bruxism. Data dianalisis menggunakan independent t-test pada software MegaStat 10.1. Hasil: Hasil analisis p-value menunjukkan ketinggian tulang kortikal mandibula regio kanan penderita bruxism dan bukan penderita bruxism adalah 0,1517mm dan regio kiri adalah 0,2036mm (p-value>0,05). Simpulan: Tidak terdapat perbedaan ketinggian tulang kortikal mandibula antara penderita bruxism dan bukan penderita bruxism.Kata kunci: Bruxism, kortikal mandibula, indeks panoramik mandibular. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Bruxism is an occlusal parafunction activity during the day or night that includes grinding, clenching, and gnashing. Bruxism can exert excessive pressure on the bone so that the bone adapts through the process of bone remodelling, which can change the amount, density, and height of the bone. Changes that occur in the bone can be analysed by measuring the height of the mandibular cortical bone. One of the measurement methods commonly used was the panoramic mandibular index (PMI) through panoramic radiography. The purpose of this study was to analyse the differences in the height of the mandibular cortical bone in bruxism and non-bruxism patients. Methods: The type of research was cross-sectional analytic. The sample of this study consisted of two groups, which were 30 samples of digital panoramic radiographs of bruxism patients and 30 samples of digital panoramic radiographs of non-bruxism patients. Data were analysed using an independent t-test in the MegaStat 10.1 software. Results: The results of the p-value analysis showed that the mandibular cortical bone in the right region of bruxism and non-bruxism patients was 0.1517 mm, and in the left region was 0.2036 mm (p-value > 0.05). Conclusion: There is no difference in the mandibular cortical bone height between bruxism and non-bruxism patients.Keywords: Bruxism, mandibular cortical bone, panoramic mandibular index.
Beach Vitex (Vitex rotundifolia): Medicinal Properties, Biology, Invasive Characteristics and Management Options1
Authors: Cousins Matthew M. , Briggs Jeanne , Whitwell Ted 
Published: September 2020

AbstractBeach Vitex (BV) (Vitex rotundifolia-L. f.) has become a major invasive plant in the fragile beach ecosystems of the Carolinas. This prostrate, salt tolerant shrub from the Pacific Rim was introduced to the southeastern United States as a landscape plant. It has since established large-scale clonal monocultures through rapid vegetative reproduction. Concerns surrounding exclusion of native species and inhibition of sea turtle nesting have served as the impetus for control efforts of BV in coastal areas of southeastern US. In areas where it occurs naturally, native peoples have included BV in their pharmacopias for treatment of many ailments. The purpose of this review is to raise awareness of its invasive potential while serving as a compilation of information about the biology, ecology and medicinal properties of BV. Its potential beneficial uses indicate a need for further exploration and development of this plant but only in areas away from the coast. This plant is a major invasive problem in coastal areas for many reasons and must be dealt with quickly so that it will not become a larger problem. Imazapyr effectively controlled beach vitex in reported greenhouse and field studies applied either as a cut stem treatment or as a foliar spray.Index words: Carolina beaches, Coastal landscape plants, Herbicides, Invasive plants.

Response to comment made by Angulo-Ramos and Merino-Soto entitled “Effect size: comment on the study on the Factors associated with the practice of exclusive breastfeeding
Authors: Mateus Solarte Julio Cesar , Cabrera Arana Gustavo Alonso 
Published: September 2020

This letter focuses on recent and interesting work on breastfeeding, to emphasize two observations. The first observation refers to the fact that, in Mateus and Cabrera’s manuscript It was hardly discussed whether the referred knowledge and skills may be relevant to understanding the mothers’ behavior regarding their commitment to breastfeeding. The relevance of these cognitive aspects requires more attention due to their relationship with breastfeeding practices, and in general with the long-term mother-infant dyad.
Because the knowledge and skills to maintain successful breastfeeding have implications for developing instructional content in interventions for mothers as well, great attention needs to be paid to the size of the effect of differences between reported frequencies in pregnancy and the immediate puerperium. In Table 3, these differences were examined by the McNemar statistical test, which allows obtaining the statistical significance of the rejection of the null hypothesis of no differences. But neither this test nor the size of its p-value inform about the degree or size of the differences. An estimate of the size or magnitude of the differences, represented as point values or confidence intervals (as reported in Tables 4 and 5), tend to better specify tests of statistical significance.

Authors: Shrestha Raju , Kandel Santosh 
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Various computer software and smartphone applications have been developed for digital cephalometric analysis with ease and in short time. The objective of this study was to compare linear and angular cephalometric measurements obtained, and cephalometric tracing duration between smartphone application tracing (app method) and conventional tracing (manual method) methods.
Materials & Method: 35 digital Lateral cephalometric radiographs of patient who came for orthodontic treatment were collected. Measurements of cephalometric parameters of composite analysis were obtained with manual and smartphone application (OneCeph) method and compared statistically. Cephalometric tracing duration was also compared between two methods.
Result: Cephalometric tracing duration using manual method was found to be significantly higher (p<.001) than that of the app method. There was no significant difference in values of SNA, SNB, ANB, Nasion perpendicular to point A, Nasion perpendicular to pogonion (pog), Angle of convexity, Go-GN/SN, FMA, U1–NA (degree), U1-NA (linear), L1–NB (degree), Cant of Occlusion, Interincisal angle, Nasolabial angle, Upper lip to Steiner’s S line, Lower lip to Steiner’s S line obtained with the manual and application method. The values of linear measurement between Lower incisor to NB line showed significant difference (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Although there was no significant difference in cephalometric measurement, cephalometric tracing duration of cephalometric analysis using Smartphone application was significantly faster than that of conventional method.

Authors: Silwal Sanzee , Shrestha Rabindra Man , Pyakurel Ujjwal , Bhandari Sanjeev 
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Great emphasis has been given to the evaluation of sagittal apical base relationship in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Supposedly, the most commonly used parameter is “ANB angle”; however its accuracy and reliability have been questioned. Many authors have alternatively introduced linear parameters like Wits appraisal and APP-BPP. The objective of the study was to compare Wits appraisal and APP-BPP with the ANB angle.
Materials & Method: This study was conducted on patients visiting the Department of Orthodontics, Kantipur Dental College, Kathmandu. The sample included 100 lateral cephalograms of subjects of the age group 18–30 years with skeletal Class I relation. Parameters like ANB angle, Wits appraisal and APP-BPP were measured to assess the sagittal jaw relationship. Descriptive statistics were calculated for each parameter. Spearman’s test was done to evaluate the correlation between the parameters. Mann-Whitney U test was done to compare the parameters between male and female subjects.
Result: Descriptive statistics showed that the mean values of ANB, Wits appraisal and APP-BPP were 2.26±1.19°, 0.38±0.87mm and 3.25±1.20mm respectively. Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant difference among the parameters between the gender groups (p>0.05). Spearman’s test showed significant correlation among the parameters ANB angle, Wits appraisal and APP-BPP. The parameters had strong positive correlation as r value was greater than 0.7.
Conclusion: The strong positive correlation between ANB angle, Wits appraisal and APP-BPP indicates that these parameters can be used as better adjunct to ANB angle in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
