Authors: Das Avishek , Kundu Ritam , Pal Ashit Kumar , Bagchi Somen 
Published: June 2021

Objectives:
The genetic basis of periodontitis was demonstrated by formal genetic studies which were focused on a range of various candidate genes selected for their roles in the immune system like genes of the interleukins (ILs) which regulate the intensity of host immunity-inflammatory response. This regulation of host response may be associated with the genetic polymorphisms, specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the genes of various ILs. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a principal mediator of inflammatory responses acting on many cell types and is itself produced by many different cells, including macrophages, endothelial cells, B cells, fibroblasts, epithelial cells, astrocytes, and osteoblasts in response to microorganisms, bacterial toxins, and complement components. In the present study, an attempt has been made to explore the role of IL-1β-511 (rs16944) genetic polymorphism in chronic as well as aggressive periodontitis in a group of the Bengali population of West Bengal, India.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 88 Bengali patients of both sexes were recruited in this study and they were divided into three groups: Group A (chronic periodontitis group), Group B (aggressive periodontitis group), and Group C (healthy control). The clinical parameters taken into consideration in the assessment of chronic and aggressive periodontitis were plaque index, calculus index, gingival index, probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinical attachment loss (CAL). A 3 ml of peripheral venous blood was collected from each selected participant and transferred to 3% EDTA containing serum vial and stored at −20°C for DNA extraction. DNA extraction was performed by the phenol chloroform method and ethanol precipitation. Genotyping of extracting DNA samples was carried out for locus IL-1β-511 (rs16944) by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was tested for the gene polymorphism and association between genotypes and cases was examined by odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (CI) and Chi-square analysis using R programming software. Allelic frequencies were calculated according to the number of different alleles observed and the total number of alleles examined. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05.

Results:
On analysis of minor allele frequencies of total periodontitis cases and control, the results were found to be statistically insignificant with P = 0.9799. Minor allele frequency of overall periodontitis cases and controls was 0.405 and 0.403, respectively; the odds ratio was 1.008 and 95% CI ranges from 0.53 to 1.88.

Conclusion:
The present study suggested no association of single-nucleotide polymorphism of IL-1β-511 (rs16944) with total periodontitis cases (both chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis) in the present study cohort.

Objectives:
Oral health is closely related to general health and people’s quality of life (QoL), through affecting their oral functions and social interactions. This study aims to assess the oral health-related QoL among head-and-neck cancer (HNC) patients attending cancer care center at Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among 340 HNC patients between August and October 2019 attending Government Arignar Anna Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Institute in Kanchipuram District of Tamil Nadu. The questionnaire has two parts. The 1st part consists of demographic characteristics and cancer-related details. The 2nd part was the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL in HNC patients (EORTC QLQ H&N-35) questionnaire.

Results:
Among 340 patients, 72.4% were male and 27.6% were female. The majority of them had Stage II cancer. The main factors affecting oral health related QoL (OHRQoL) were taking painkillers, loss of sexual interest, difficulty in social contact, teeth problems, loss of taste, and smell senses. Significant association found between pain (P = 0.000), sense (P = 0.003), speech (P = 0.000), social eating (P = 0.016), social contact (P = 0.005), teeth problems (P = 0.031), dry mouth (P = 0.000), sticky saliva (P = 0.000), cough (0.002), feeling ill (P = 0.003), nutritional supplement (P = 0.042), and lost weight (P = 0.034) with respect to various treatment modalities. Based on the OHRQoL scores, those who were treated surgically alone had better QoL than others.

Conclusion:
We found that surgically treated HNC patients had better OHRQoL than others. Thus, Oral-Health related Quality of Life assessment can be used to analyse the outcome of treatment, patient satisfaction and their sense of self. We need to build a broader care protocol which satisfies/improves the demands arising from the patients.

Objectives:
Antibiotic resistance is rising to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world. New resistance mechanism is emerging and spreading globally, threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases. Dentists prescribe about 9–11% of all common antibiotics. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude of antibiotic resistance among graduating dental students.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 294 participants between November 2019 and December 2019. A structured questionnaire consisting of 14 questions was administered to the dental students. Descriptive analysis of demographic variables was done and knowledge score and attitude score were performed using Kruskal–Wallis H test.

Results:
About 85% of the participants suggested amoxicillin as the choice of antibiotic. Among the four domains suggesting the solution for antibiotic resistance, 48% of the final year students suggested avoiding self-medication as a solution, 34% of interns suggested avoiding over dosage, and 48% of the 3rd year students suggested completing the course of antibiotics. A majority of (87%) of the final year students suggested the usage of prophylactic antibiotics in patients with infective endocarditis. The difference in mean change in attitude scores among the groups was statistically significant (P = 0.028).

Conclusion:
The research showed variable levels of knowledge and attitude about antibiotic resistance among the students of different year of study. The study result insists the need to educate the dental students more regarding antibiotics and their proper use.

Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to determine bond strength of three self-adhering flowable composites.

Materials and Methods:
Mean tensile bond strength was measured in three groups – Group A – Constic, Group B – Dyad Flow, and Group C – Fusio Liquid Dentin on sound and demineralized primary teeth. Fracture pattern was studied using a stereomicroscope for each sample and in classified as adhesive, cohesive, or mixed fracture.

Results:
Mean tensile bond strength in sound enamel of Group A (Constic) was found to be 10.79 + 4.24, Group B (Dyad Flow) was 10.30 + 4.63, and of Group C (Fusio Liquid Dentine) was 11.87 + 4.45. No significant difference was found between the three groups (f = 0.327 and P = 0.724). However, a significant difference was found with demineralized enamel in three groups. Constic and Dyad Flow exhibited adhesive fracture pattern in majority of samples on sound enamel, whereas Fusio Liquid Dentin had mixed fracture pattern. On demineralized enamel, Constic exhibited adhesive fracture pattern majorly, whereas Dyad flow demonstrated mixed pattern and Fusio Liquid Dentin had more of cohesive fractures.

Conclusion:
Constic, Dyad Flow, and Fusio Liquid Dentin can be used instead of conventional pit and fissure sealants or in small occlusal cavities in primary teeth as a single step material.

Authors: Senanayake C. M. 
Published: June 2021

Background: Nurses are an essential component of health workforce. Therefore rewarding nurses is important to provide better service to the clients. The main purpose was to describe the effect of rewards on the work commitment of nurses at the SMS of National hospital. Objectives: to identify intrinsic and extrinsic rewards cause to the level of work commitment of nurses at SMS of National hospital, to determine the level of work commitment of nurses at SMS of National hospital, to measure the effect of socio-demographic factors on work commitment of nurses at SMS of National hospital and to describe the effect of rewards on work commitment of nurses at SMS of National hospital. Methodology: Descriptive, hospital-based, cross-sectional study design was used. Simple random sampling used to select 384 nurses. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: The mean value for composite intrinsic rewards was 3.34 (SD = 0.57). There is a moderately positive Correlation (r = 0.327, p< 0.000) between intrinsic rewards and the work commitment. The mean value for composite extrinsic rewards was 2.54 (SD = 0.71) and it shows a very weak positive Correlation (r = 0.167, p< 0.002) between extrinsic rewards and work commitment. As Socio-demographic factors, gender (0.016**), age group (0.117*), position (0.114*), working experience at current work place (0.154*), and working section (0.014**) have association with the overall work commitment of nurses. Level of work commitment of nurses was moderate (Mean = 3.13, SD = 0.35). Conclusion: Moderate correlation means, when increases intrinsic rewards, nurses’ work commitment can be increased. Extrinsic rewards also cause to increase the commitment. Socio-demographic factors have an association with overall work commitment. These results help nurse managers to improve existing intrinsic rewards for nurses to enhance work commitment. Nurse Managers should suggest and plan a good reward system for nurses. Further research wants to conduct in government and private hospitals to find out ways to make nurses more committed. Moderate work commitment may be due to inadequate rewards or actually their dedication to the service without expecting rewards. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2021-0303-4 Full Text: PDF
As tendências pedagógicas e o ensino de matemática: um estudo qualitativo
Authors: De Paula Marlubia Corrêa , Sostisso Alessandra Fabian 
Published: June 2021

Este artigo objetiva descrever as Tendências Pedagógicas (origens e pressupostos) para identificar seus usos no ensino de matemática. Dado o pequeno número de documentos identificados (uma dissertação, nove artigos, três anais de eventos), constatou-se que, embora esta temática seja abordada constantemente, as publicações não refletem tal intensidade. Desse modo, metodologicamente, foi possível realizar um estudo de cunho qualitativo com natureza exploratória, com uso de mapeamento para identificar carências de publicações. Como resultados, pode-se afirmar que, embora documentos que tratam de Tendências Pedagógicas tenham excelente referenciais bibliográficos, os estudos apresentados em artigos, dissertações e teses ainda é modesto no que se refere à formação do professor de matemática.

This siwalan jelly candy is made with natural ingredients and attractive colors, so that it can increase the interest in public consumption, especially children, which has an impact on creating business opportunities to improve the community's economy.
Understanding of “Feeling” and “Self-Consciousness” on the Border of the XIX–XX Centuries and M. Loewy’s Concept of Depersonalization
Authors: Pyatnitskiy N. Yu. 
Published: June 2021

The aimwas to review the understanding of the phenomena of “feeling” and “self-consciousness” in the concepts of the leading European scientists at the second half of XIX — beginning of the XX centuries.Method:H.R. Lotze, I.M. Sechenov, A. Bain, W. Wundt, G. Stoerring, Th. Lipps, K. Oesterreich, E. Kraepelin and some others are analyzed.Conclusion:while Th. Lipps, H.R. Lotze, W. Wundt and K. Oesterreich were striving for strict differentiation of the notions of “sensations” and “feelings”, A. Bain, I.M. Sechenov, G. Stoerring were not following an effi cient distinction of these phenomena. H.R. Lotze, I.M. Sechenov, A. Bain distinguished in the consciousness and self-consciousness the affective and intellectual components; Th. Lipps considered as the core of self-consciousness the feelings that were very manifold and accompanied different mental acts including the act of perception: “perceptions feeling”. G. Stoerring paid attention to the lack of the feeling of activity by depersonalization, and the Austrian psychiatrist and neurologist M. Loewy elaborated the concept of “ubiquitous” “action feelings” (Actionsgefuehle) that exist outside of “pleasure — displeasure” modality. According to M. Loewy’s concept every mental act is accompanied normally by two “feelings of act”: general and specifi c, in the abnormal case one or both of them may disappear. The clinical description of weakening or loss of the action feelings: impulse feeling, perception feeling of vital sensation, perception feelings of sensations from organs of sense, “feelings of the feeling process”, “thinking feeling”, M. Loewy accomplished by “personalizing” approach to the account of one of his patient, Russian female student. M. Loewy considered the depersonalization disorders in this case as a symbolic neurosis according to S. Freud and as a psychasthenia according to P. Janet. Although E. Kraepelin defi ned selfconsciousness as merely cognitive phenomenon he interpreted depersonalization as a kind of emotional disturbance including the disorders on the level of sensations in the frames of light depressive phase of the manic-depressive illness. The M. Loewy’s concept of the “action feelings” can be applied not only for the understanding of “neurotic” depersonalization but also for depersonalization cases on the ground of depressive and mixed phase affective states.
