Objective: To investigate the impact of malocclusion on the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) of school children.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among four hundred and twenty five (425) 8-10 years school pupils in Lagos Nigeria. Malocclusion was assessed using the Dental Aesthetic Index while OHRQoL was assessed using the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ 8-10). Data entry and analyses was done with SPSS Version 23.0. Data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and Chi-square test and one-way ANOVA were used for comparison between variables. Level of significance was set at 0.05.
Results: Gender distribution of the study population was; 48.8% (208) males and 51.2% (217) females. The mean age of the participants was 9.23±0.83 and their median age was 9 years. The prevalence of malocclusion according to DAI was 25.9%. Over 70% of the children were found to have no/ or slight need for orthodontic treatment (DAI score < 25), elective treatment was needed in 19.1% of subjects (DAI score 25-30), while in 6.8% of the surveyed population; treatment was highly desirable/mandatory. The differences in the prevalence of malocclusion among the different age groups was observed to be statistically significant (P = 0.038). The overall mean CPQ 8-10 was 19.51±17.1. There was no statistically significant difference in mean CPQ scores between gender (P=0.565), age (P=0.524) and severity of malocclusion (P=0.296)
Conclusion: The prevalence of malocclusion in this study was 25.9% with an overall mean CPQ of 19.51±17.1. Higher mean CPQ values were observed with females, older age group and subjects with DAI 31- 35; however, it was not statistically significant.

Published: October 2021

Objective: When individuals have negative perceptions about dental care, they refuse to seek treatment which leads to worsened conditions. The interactions with patients attending the various dental clinics revealed some dissatisfaction with the quality of service delivered. The objective of this study was to assess the perception of the patients about the dentists and dental nurses.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of three months among old and new patients attending the Oral Diagnosis, Periodontology, Orthodontic, Oral Surgery, Conservative, Prosthetic and Paedodontic Clinics at the dental centre, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. The data was collected using an English-language questionnaire and analysed using the IBM SPSS Software version 23.
Results: There were 228 participants, majority were females (55.4%) and belonged to the 56 years and above age group (20%). The patients agreed (40.6%) and strongly agreed (32.1%) that the first impression they had of their dentist affected their confidence in him/her. More than half of the patients (52.7%) reported they were particular about the physical appearance of their dentist and 84.3% preferred their dentist to be professionally dressed. Greater than half of the patients (64.1%) and almost half (46.2%) claimed that their overall experience with their dentist and dental nurse was excellent respectively.
Conclusion: It was observed that the patients were not particular about the demographics of the dentists or dental nurses but placed more emphasis on appearance, behaviour and skills which ultimately influenced their overall experience and perception.

Authors: Kamau Muthoni , Mwangi Hiuhu 
Published: October 2021

Purpose: Personal development and pursuance of higher education in nursing is considered important for the nurses to stay abreast in the dynamic medical world and promote excellence in practice. In a world with emerging complex diseases, there is high demand for a highly skilled and critically thinking nurse. At the Baccalaureate level or higher to match international standards. Determine nurse related challenges that determine whether a nurse enrolls in a diploma to degree nursing program, their performance during the program and their decision to hold on to the end
Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive cross sectional design, carried out among a randomly sampled population of 220 nurses who work in the hospital. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires from a simple random sample of 140 nurses. Data analysis was done by SPSS version 22.0. Measures of central tendency mean and range were used. The findings have been presented in form of figures, tables, pie-charts and narrative texts.
Results: A total of 120 participants filled questionnaires representing an 85% response rate. 78% (n=93) were female, and 22% (n=27) were male, Chi-square analysis showed that there was significant correlation in some factors like the designation of a nurse impacted the motivation to upgrade (x2=20.96, df=12, p=0.05) and nursing officers III (n=46, 48.8%) were motivated to upgrade to higher education levels. Family responsibilities of the nurses affected their decision or process of upgrading (x2=6.752, df=6, p=0.03).
Conclusion: Lack of motivation and difficulty balancing work and study were found to be the major nurse related challenges of upgrading. These factors should be looked into in order for the nursing fraternity to be able to serve the patient better thus having better patient outcomes.
Recommendations: This study recommended that the nurse should be self-motivated to upgrade in the nursing career, the employer to provide favorable shifts in order to nurse to have life balance and policies on career progression and remuneration should be promoted
Stateless Literature of the Gulf
Authors: Alrabei Tareq 
Published: October 2021

The “Bidun” (“without nationality”) are a stateless community based across the Arab Gulf. There are an estimated 100,000 or so Bidun in Kuwait, a heterogeneous group made up of tribes people who failed to register for citizenship in 1948 and before independence, former citizens of Iraq, Saudi and other Arab countries who joined the Kuwait security services in ‘60s and ‘70s and the children of Kuwaiti women and Bidun men. They are considered illegal residents by the Kuwaiti government and as such denied access to many services of the oil-rich state, often living in slums on the outskirts of Kuwait’s cities.
There are few existing works on the Bidun community and what little research there is is grounded in an Area Studies/Social Sciences approach. This book is the first to explore the Bidun from a literary/cultural perspective, offering both the first study of the literature of the Bidun in Kuwait, and in the process a corrective to some of the pitfalls of a descriptive, Area Studies approach to research on the Bidun and the region. The author explores the historical and political context of the Bidun, their position in Kuwaiti and Arabic literary history, comparisons between the Bidun and other stateless writers and analysis of the key themes in Bidun literature and their relationship to the Bidun struggle for recognition and citizenship.
Understanding Nonverbal Communication
Authors: Danesi Marcel 
Published: October 2021

The human body is a primary source of meaning-making, with the body conveying over two-thirds of our messages. But how can we understand these physical communicative cues? How are they being expressed and exploited in new media and multimodal online and mobile interaction?
Offering an in-depth guide to help you investigate and understand real and virtual nonverbal communication using semiotic theory, this book assumes little previous knowledge of semiotics or linguistics. With in-depth, comparative case studies, each chapter deals with a traditional aspect of nonverbal communication, such as facial expressions, touch, and gesture, before extending the discussion to new media and cyberspace.
Explaining the issues step by step and supported by exercises, directed further reading and a glossary of key terms, Understanding Nonverbal Communication provides you with all the tools you need to understand how nonverbal communication unfolds in all kinds of contexts, and the kinds of messages that it makes possible.
Global-National Networks in Education Policy
Authors: Adhikary Rino Wiseman , Lingard Bob , Hardy Ian 
Published: October 2021

Set against the backdrop of globalization and global philanthropy, this book offers new perspectives on the sociological dynamics and governance implications of ‘social entrepreneurial’ policy in education. It examines the spatialities, relationships and culture that powerfully mediated the making and localisation of ‘Teach for Bangladesh’.
This globalised and philanthropy-backed reform model is based on ‘Teach for America/All’ (TfA) which promotes social entrepreneurial solutions to educational problems across continents. The authors demonstrate how TfB’s policy model travelled through networks of diaspora, finance, technology and media and became established in Bangladesh through complex policy work. The book documents empirical research from Bangladesh to draw out broader implications in relation to education policy-making and policy content in today’s globalizing world. The book also contributes to ongoing debates in contemporary comparative education about North-South dialogue, policy mobility and transfer, philanthrocapitalism, and international teacher education.
Violencia, democracia y cultura política en América Latina
Authors: Cruz José Miguel 
Published: October 2021

El problema de la violencia es grave en la región latinoamericana. Más allá del impacto que la misma tiene en la pérdida de vidas humanas y en el desarrollo económico, la violencia también puede afectar los procesos de búsqueda de la democracia por la vía de transformar la cultura política de los latinoamericanos. Frente a la ausencia de respuestas sociales y políticas efectivas a los elevados niveles de inseguridad pública, muchos ciudadanos dejan de participar social y políticamente, comienzan a albergar actitudes autoritarias, desconfían de las instituciones y de los mecanismos legales para resolver sus problemas y se suman al apoyo de figuras políticas autoritarias.

Theoretical research in key performance indicators measurement of logistics service providers﻿
Authors: Reiner Gerald  , Phuoc Van Nguyen  
Published: October 2021

The output of a planning process is a set of assigned individual tasks to resources at a certain point in time. This paper focuses on the performance parameters and objectives that play a role in the planning process. In order to gain insight into the factors which play a role in designing new software systems for Logistical Service Providers (LSPs). Therefore, we study the area of Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Typically, KPIs are used in a post-ante context: to evaluate a company’s past performance. We reason that KPIs should be utilized in the planning phase as well. The paper describes the extended literature survey that we conducted and introduces a novel framework that captures the dynamics of competing KPIs by positioning them in the practical context of an LSP. This framework could be a valuable input into the design of a future generation of information systems capable of incorporating the business dynamics of today’s LSPs.
Zonal wind variations in the stratosphere and mesosphere over the equatorial region of Asia and possible association with Indian summer monsoon rainfall
Authors: DE U. S. , RATNAM K. , MUKHOPADHYAY R. K. 
Published: October 2021

Behaviour of stratospheric and mesospheric zonal winds in the equatorial region of Asia has been studied using rocket wind data from 921 flights for the period from 1970 to 1993 over Thumba (India) and upper wind data in the lower stratosphere over Singapore (S.E. Asia) from 1970 to 1997. Monthly means of these zonal winds are subjected to spectrum analysis. It is inferred that the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) with periodicity of 22 to 30 months and annual cycle with periodicity of 11 to 12 months dominate in the lower stratosphere over Thumba, while the semi-annual cycle is predominant in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere. QBO in the lower stratosphere over Singapore has been observed to be significant with periodicity of 22 to 28 months, whereas the annual cycle has no significance.

There exists a prognostic value between easterly & westerly phases of QBO over Thumba during the antecedent months of January to May and the performance of succeeding summer monsoon rainfall over India with strong easterlies favouring decreased rainfall and westerlies or light easterlies favouring increased rainfall over the country a s a whole. Correlation coefficients are statistically significant between the seasonal rainfall over India and zonal winds at 10 hPa (30 km) during winter months and also zonal winds at 30 hPa (24 km) during pre-monsoon months. However, there is an improvement in correlation if combined circulation of zonal winds at 10 hPa during winter and at 30 hPa during pre-monsoon is considered. Zonal winds at 50 hPa (20 km) and 30 hPa (24 km) over Singapore during monsoon months show diagnostic value with seasonal rainfall over India having significant concurrent correlation coefficients; however winds during winter and pre-monsoon do not show significant correlation with Indian monsoon. Thus, this could be used to monitor the progress of south-west monsoon performance but not in predicting it.

Over Thumba, the mean zonal winds at 30 hPa during ENSO and anti- ENSO years differ significantly in the annual feature.
A bayesian analysis of the annual maximum temperature using generalized extreme value distribution
Authors: HASSEN CHERAITIA 
Published: October 2021

The annual maximum temperature was modeled using the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution to Jijel weather station. The Mann-Kendall (MK) and Kwiatkowski Phillips, Schmidt and Shin (KPSS) tests suggest a stationary model without linear trend in the location parameter. The Kurtosis and the Skewness statistics indicated that the normality assumption was rejected. The Likelihood Ratio test was used to determine the best model and the goodness-of-fit tests showed that our data is suitable with a stationary Gumbel distribution. The Maximum Likelihood estimation method and the Bayesian approach using the Monte Carlo method by Markov Chains (MCMC) were used to find the parameters of the Gumbel distribution and the return levels were obtained for different periods.
