Authors: Subramaniam Priya , Raj N Sneha , Papulwar Swati Manohar 
Published: December 2021

Background and Objectives:
Dental caries is an infectious transmissible disease resulting from tooth-adherent specific bacteria, primarily Mutans streptococci. Fluoride varnish is an effective antimicrobial agent against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans). The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of S. mutans in children following application of a fluoride varnish containing CPP-ACP in mother–child pairs.

Materials and Methods:
Sixty children aged 18–36 months, at high caries risk along with their mothers formed the study group. Baseline levels of S. mutans in saliva of mothers and dental plaque of children was microbiologically assessed for S. mutans using the culture method. They were divided into three groups, consisting of 20 mother–child pairs. Group 1: Application of varnish to mother and saline as a placebo to child; Group 2: Applying varnish to child and saline as a placebo to mother; Group 3: Applying varnish to both mother and child. S. mutans levels in dental plaque of children were assessed at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using one way analysis of variance, paired t-test and multiple Post hoc tukey. The level of Significance was considered at 5%

Results:
In all the groups, there was a significant reduction of S. mutans levels in dental plaque of children at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The highest reduction in S. mutans was in Group 3 (95.33%) followed by (95.12%) in Group 2 and 40.6% in Group 1 (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Application of fluoride varnish containing CPP-ACP to the children gave equivocally significant reduction in S. mutans levels of dental plaque in children, as compared to applying in both mother and child.
Effectiveness of Manuka Honey and Chlorhexidine Mouthwash on Gingivitis and Streptococcus Mutans Count Among Children
Authors: Sruthi K. S. , Yashoda R. , Puranik P. Manjunath 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Chlorhexidine is considered a gold standard among the chemical plaque control measures. Recently, a search for a natural alternative having similar effectiveness of that of chlorhexidine is gaining importance due to various side effects reported. Honey is a natural product with antibacterial properties that can be used to improve oral health. Manuka honey (MH) is considered superior due to its antibacterial properties. However, studies pertaining to effectiveness of MH and chlorhexidine on oral health are limited.

Aim:
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of MH and 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) mouthwash on reducing gingivitis and Streptococcus mutans count (SM).

Materials and Methods:
A randomized controlled trial blinded study was conducted among 12–15 years old children with (Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth) scores of 1–4, plaque and gingival scores of 1–2 were selected, and an equal number of children (30 each) were randomly allocated to MH and CHX groups. Participants were instructed to rinse 5 ml of MH and 10 ml of CHX twice daily for 14 days. Unstimulated saliva was collected from the children, and plaque and gingival indices were assessed at baseline, 7th day, and 14th day. Unstimulated saliva was subjected to microbiological analysis for SM. Student's t-test and repeated-measures analysis of variance test were applied for inter- and intragroup comparison, respectively. P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:
There was no statistically significant difference in plaque and gingival scores and SM count between the groups at baseline, 7th day, and 14th day. Statistically significant reductions (P < 0.01) in plaque, gingival scores, and SM count were observed in both the groups at 7th and 14th day from baseline. No adverse events were reported during the trial.

Conclusion:
Effectiveness of MH was comparable with CHX mouthwash in reducing gingivitis and SM count. MH seems to be a promising antimicrobial agent effective in improving gingival health and reducing caries risk.

Published: December 2021

Background:
Burnout syndrome (BS) is related to work and is generally seen among health-care professionals including students. Students use various coping mechanisms to deal with stress and burnout and extracurricular activities are one among them.

Aim:
The aim of the study is to assess the burnout levels of dental students and its association with the indulgence in extracurricular activities (ECA).

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among students of a deemed university dental school in south India. All the students from 1st year to 5th year (internship), both regular and supplementary batches were included. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey was used to assess burnout which consists of 15 items on three domains emotional exhaustion (EE), cynicism (CY), and professional efficacy (PE). All the responses were scored on a five point Likert scale. Mann–Whitney U-test and Poisson log-linear model were used. A P ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results:
A total of 208 participants were included in the final analyses. Majority of the participants were females (84.1%) and 1st-year students (26.4%). The mean age of the participants was 20.6 ± 1.8 years. The prevalence of BS was 19.7%. A significant difference was seen for the participation in ECA and all the three domains (EE, CY, PE) of BS (P values 0.029, 0.004 and 0.006, respectively).

Conclusion:
The prevalence of burnout can be considered as high among the participants. Early screening for burnout in dental students and effective interventions at earlier stages is required.

Authors: Singh Shila Kumari , Bhattacharjee Minakshi , Unni Balagopalan , Kashyap Rajpal Singh 
Published: December 2021

Background:
Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are responsible for many hospital-acquired infections. Clindamycin (CL) is used to treat methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) and MRSA. Antibiotic sensitivity testing (AST) can miss out the inducible CL resistance (CL-R) and result in failure of treatment. D-test detects inducible CL-R.

Subjects and Methods:
One hundred and ten S. aureus strains were tested. D-test was performed using erythromycin (ER) (15 mcg) and CL (2 mcg). The absence of inhibition around ER and a zone of inhibition around CL with flattening of the zone facing ER side is taken as positive D-test.

Results:
Of the total S. aureus strains, 36% were MRSA and 74% were MSSA. A total of 20 (18.18%) strains out of 110 were found to have inducible CL-R. In this study, MRSA (19.4%) were found to have higher percentage of D-test positivity as compared to MSSA (17.56%).

Conclusion:

D-test must be performed routinely as a part of AST for the presence of inducible phenotype.

Mapeamento das principais causas de contaminação de água potável em sistemas prediais hidrossanitários
Authors: Henrique Stehling Oliveira Paulo , Barreto Douglas 
Published: December 2021

RESUMO: Dentre os sistemas prediais o que mais tem potencial para apresentar manifestações patológicas é o sistema hidrossanitário. Existem diversas manifestações patológicas possíveis e uma delas é a contaminação da água potável no sistema de distribuição e armazenamento. Em algumas situações a água apresenta adequado padrão de potabilidade na fonte, mas no reservatório encontra-se contaminada. O método adotado consistiu de uma revisão bibliográfica, cujo objetivo foi mapear, identificar e classificar as principais causas de contaminação de água potável em sistemas prediais hidrossanitários em diversas bases de dados. Como resultado, foram identificadas diversas causas de contaminação, e estas foram classificadas em: conexão cruzada; desgaste de materiais; tempo de armazenamento; manutenção; vedação; equipamentos; projeto; vandalismo/sabotagem; tratamento inadequado; e fonte. Pode-se concluir que as causas são diversas e que existem medidas a serem tomadas para evitá-las, e entre as recomendações pode-se concluir que há a necessidade de implantar uma cultura de manutenção e que o uso de reservatórios enseja muitos cuidados para garantir a qualidade da água no sistema de distribuição e consumo. Por fim, ressalta-se a importância de um projeto dos sistemas prediais hidrossanitários bem elaborado e atendendo as recomendações técnicas.
Comparação dos Padrões de Qualidade Exigidos por Diretrizes Nacionais e Internacionais para Aproveitamento de Água Pluvial
Authors: Eloize Borgert Aline , Ghisi Enedir 
Published: December 2021

RESUMO:
Este trabalho tem como objetivo comparar o padrão de qualidade de água exigido pela norma brasileira de aproveitamento de água de chuva de coberturas para fins não potáveis, NBR 15527 (ABNT, 2019), com diretrizes nacionais e internacionais sobre o assunto. Foram analisadas legislações, manuais e normas brasileiras a respeito de água pluvial, água cinza, balneabilidade e potabilidade, além de diretrizes alemãs, estadunidenses e australianas sobre sistemas de aproveitamento de água pluvial. Inicialmente foram identificados os padrões de qualidade de água exigidos pelos documentos nacionais. A partir disso, foram constatadas semelhanças e divergências entre os requisitos de acordo com as finalidades de uso das águas. Posteriormente, o mesmo foi feito com os documentos internacionais. Comparando-se os dados obtidos com os requisitos da norma brasileira de água pluvial, verifica-se que há incoerência em suas exigências. Os resultados sugerem que a NBR 15527 (ABNT, 2019) é demasiadamente restritiva, apesar de ter sido modificada recentemente. Com base nos documentos estudados, foi elaborado um modelo como sugestão para a adequação da norma, com diferentes padrões de qualidade e finalidades de uso, visando melhor coerência com o cenário global atual.

Published: December 2021

RESUMO: A Moringa Oleífera (MO) é um coagulante natural que vem sendo utilizado para o tratamento de águas superficiais e residuárias, de modo a diminuir a quantidade de coagulantes químicos que são empregados para este fim. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de comparar o uso de dois coagulantes químicos (sulfato de alumínio – SA e nitrato de cálcio – NC) e de uma solução de Moringa Oleifera extraída em nitrato de cálcio (MO+NC) no tratamento de águas cinzas provenientes da máquina de lavar roupas. Os parâmetros avaliados foram pH, turbidez e volume de lodo gerado, cujos resultados foram comparados por meio do teste de Scott-Knott para a definição das dosagens ótimas de cada coagulante. Para o SA, a dosagem ótima foi de 3 ml L-1 e propiciou a redução de 98,9% na turbidez com pH igual a 6,0; para a MO+NC, foi 25 ml L-1, com redução de 98,8% na turbidez e pH igual a 6,5. O uso do NC exclusivamente propiciou o aumento da turbidez em até 19,3%. Considerando-se apenas os parâmetros em estudo, verifica-se que a água tratada com MO+NC, poderia ser utilizada para o reúso de água residencial.
Gestão da água por gamificação para condomínios residenciais
Authors: Farina Humberto , Zapata Fernanda 
Published: December 2021

RESUMO:
A medição individualizada é uma realidade para os novos edifícios residenciais na maioria das cidades brasileiras e é entendida como requisito básico para a gestão da água e consequente controle de consumo, uma contribuição para a conservação da água nas edificações. No entanto, cabe ressaltar o desafio de tornar a gestão da água uma atividade presente no cotidiano, evitando ser lembrada somente quando da presença de crises de abastecimento ou de crise econômicas. Uma questão de permanente preocupação que precisa de ações inovadoras para adesão e educação da sociedade. A gamificação para o uso da água poderia auxiliar no alcance desse objetivo, trazendo os usuários permanentes ou moradores de um edifício a um ambiente interativo e competitivo para um resultado benéfico para todos. Traz-se uma reflexão para o futuro, quanto ao desenvolvimento de tecnologias que conectem os usuários ao conceito de conservação de água e a comunidade em que vivem, ficando uma oportunidade para a digitalização, estreitando o relacionamento dos usuários com o sistema predial.
Un viaje espacial y temporal: las mujeres bajo el poder patriarcal y dictatorial en 'Eni Furtado no ha dejado de correr' de Alicia Kozameh
Authors: Lyu Gaojie 
Published: December 2021

En el presente trabajo se propone un análisis en torno al sufrimiento y la resistencia de las mujeres que buscan conseguir su propio espacio dentro del poder patriarcal y dictatorial, a través de un viaje espacial y temporal que constituye Alicia Kozameh en su novela Eni Furtado no ha dejado de correr. A lo largo de este artículo, se pretende visualizar la búsqueda del espacio literario de la autora misma; la movilidad espacial y temporal de las dos protagonistas; el dolor y el trauma causados por la represión patriarcal y dictatorial; ciertos espacios como representación del poder parental, y la lucha de las mujeres en contextos de violencia.
Eni Furtado no ha dejado de correr, que se publicó en 2013, es la sexta obra narrativa de la escritora argentina Alicia Kozameh (Rosario, 1953). En la novela, a través de varios puntos de vista que abarcan múltiples perspectivas, se configura un hecho central: el abuso sexual de una niña de diez años. Debido a su propia experiencia como encarcelada durante la dictadura militar de Argentina, Alicia Kozameh se ha dedicado a escribir sobre temas relacionados con la prisión y el exilio en sus primeras obras. Esta novela, en concreto, se considera como uno de los ejemplos más representativos entre sus últimas novelas narrativas, puesto que se centra en el espacio privado de la familia y el abuso sexual de menores; simultáneamente, incorpora otro hilo que manifiesta la violencia política y el exilio de manera implícita, creando así una analogía entre la violencia dictatorial y la represión patriarcal que sufren las mujeres. Todo ello abre un horizonte más amplio para representar la violencia y el trauma dentro del universo literario de Kozameh.
En definitiva, con este trabajo se espera aportar un punto de vista distinto, que contribuya a ampliar la reflexión en torno al género, el espacio y el poder.

Published: December 2021

Dosen adalah salah satu komponen esensial dalam suatu system pendidikan di perguruan tinggi. Tugas utama dosen tidak hanya mengajar dan membimbing mahasiswa saja tetapi juga melaksanakan kegiatan penelitian dan pengabdian masyarakat yang termasuk ke dalam tridharma perguruan tinggi. Semenjak pandemi covid 19 work from home sudah tidak asing lagi di masyarakat. Di Universitas pun sudah memasuki tahun kedua kuliah daring melalui e-Learning kampus masing-masing, tetapi e-Learning kampus hanya mengakomodir kegiatan belajar mengajar tidak mencakup seluruh tridharma dosen. Maka dari itu diperlukan suatu sistem yang dapat mengakomodir kegiatan pusat studi, yaitu Penelitian, Pengabdian Masyarakat, Publikasi Jurnal, Seminar, dan Pelatihan. Pusat studi adalah Kelompok keilmuan dan kepakaran yang mempunyai minat terhadap kajian ilmu yang melakukan kegiatan perencanaan dan pelaksanaan, pengendalian mutu kegiatan serta kerja sama riset dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat, dalam rangka pengembangan keilmuan yang bersifat mono disiplin dan atau multidisiplin sebagai penunjang pelaksanaan tugas fakultas. Maka dari itu fakultas memerlukan suatu sistem informasi pusat studi yang dapat mengorganisir kegiatan di pusat studi sehingga memudahkan pelaporan kegiatan dosen terhadap pimpinan fakultas dan repository online atau media penyimpanan online untuk proposal dan laporan, serta surat tugas yang di verifikasi oleh Dekan dan Kepala Pusat Studi di Fakultas Ilmu Komputer UEU (Fasilkom UEU), yang mana data tersebut bisa digunakan lagi pada tingkat universitas.

Aim. To establish the effect of experimental intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) on the teeth-jaw system of rats in the long-term period based on the study of pro-inflammatory cytokines and morphological analysis of the elements of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and salivary glands.Materials and methods. The experiment was carried out on 60 newborn rats; IAH was modelled by injecting collagen into the abdominal cavity to a predetermined level of intra-abdominal pressure. The rats were evenly (n = 20) divided into 3 groups: 1st - control; 2nd and 3rd - with light and severe IAH, respectively. Serum levels of IL-18, MCP-1, NGAL were determined by multiplex analysis after 10 and 120 days, VEGF-C - after 10 days - by ELISA. The morphological examination of the TMJ and salivary glands was performed using a Leica DM2000 microscope after 120 days.Results. After 10 days and 120 days, blood serum levels of NGAL, IL-18 and MCP-1 were statistically significantly increased in groups 2 and 3 compared to the control; the concentration of MCP-1 increased in proportion to the severity of the IAH with the maximum values in group 3. After 10 days, the level of VEGF was significantly increased in group 2 compared to the control group (p < 0.02). Inflammation of the TMJ was observed significantly more often in groups 2 and 3 than in the control group (p = 0.0002). In group 3, circulatory disorders and bone marrow degeneration of the TMJ, as well as inflammation, circulatory disorders and hyperplasia of the lymphoid tissue of the salivary glands were statistically significantly more often compared to groups 1 and 2.Conclusion. In the long term, experimental IAH showed an increase in the levels of markers of inflammation and hypoxia in the blood serum of rats; the severity of synovitis and sialadenitis grew with an increase in the level of intra-abdominal pressure; the maximum deviations in inflammation markers and morphological changes in the TMJ and salivary glands of rats were observed in the group with severe IAH.
Frontal Sinusitis Management: Intact Ethmoidal Bulla Technique Vs Ethmoidal Bullectomy
Authors: N. Reddy Harshavardhan , Abraham Evin , C Chandrakiran , B Patil Sanjay 
Published: December 2021

Introduction
Conventional functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for frontal sinusitis treatment involves ethmoidal bullectomy, that is associated with damage to the surrounding structures. These complications can be overcome by minimally invasive FESS anterior to the ethmoidal bulla that allows ease in locating the sinus ostium, eliminating risk of injury to anterior skull base and nearby structures. This study aims to compare the efficacy of ethmoidal bullectomy versus intact ethmoidal bulla technique as an adjunct to FESS in frontal sinusitis management.
Materials and Methods
Forty patients, clinically and radiologically diagnosed with frontal sinusitis, were randomly divided into 2 groups: Group A (n=20; treated with FESS keeping the ethmoidal bulla intact) and Group B (n=20; treated using FESS with ethmoidal bullectomy). After detailed history and clinico-radiological examinations, diagnostic nasal endoscopy was performed, followed by FESS. Pre- and post-operative endoscopic and clinical assessment was done using Modified Lund-Kennedy Endoscopy (MLKE) Score and Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) Questionnaire, respectively. Data was analyzed using software R version 3.6.3.
Results
Significant reductions in SNOT-22 (clinical improvement) and MLKE scores (endoscopic improvement) were seen within the groups from baseline to each follow-up visit and between the successive recall visits (p<0.001). The SNOT-22 and MLKE scores were insignificant at any visit between the groups, along with age distribution, gender and intra-operative complications (p>0.05). Complications were seen only in Group B.
Conclusion
Both, ethmoidal bullectomy and intact ethmoidal bulla technique, when used as adjuncts to FESS, showed similar improvements in frontal sinusitis patients. However, bullectomy was associated with greater risk of intra-operative complications.
