Comparision of two fluoride varnishes for controlling white spot lesions. Randomized clinical trial
Authors: Luengo - Fereira Jesús Alberto 
Published: February 2019

Objective: To compare two fluorinated varnishes for the control of white spot lesions.Material and Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 103 active whitespot lesions on permanent upper anterior teeth from 24 patients, aged 7 to 9 years were randomly assigned totwo groups, G1: Duraphat® (n=52) and G2: DuraShield® (n=51). Weekly applications were perform for fourconsecutive weeks. Fifth week the dimension, regression and activity of the lesions were evaluated. Student’sT test, Wilcoxon Ranks and Chi square were used at 5% significance.
Results: At the end of the study, the lesion reduction was observed in 69.7%, finding significant differences(p<0.05) in the mean of the initial and final dimensions in general (2.74 mm to 1.91 mm) and in each group, G1(2.84 mm to 2.03 mm), G2 (2.64 mm to 1.78 mm). In the activity of the lesions, it was found in the G1, 12 active and6 inactive lesions; while in G2, there were 14 active and 29 inactive; these differences were significant (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The two evaluated products showed similar clinical efficacy in the remineralization of activewhite spot lesions after 4 weeks of therapy.

Pulpotomías en Dientes Deciduos con MTA Reporte de caso
Authors: Navarro-Betetta Rossmary 
Published: February 2019

Resumen La terapia pulpar en dientes deciduos es un procedimiento que acarrea muchas controversias en la Odontología pediátrica, especialmente si se trata de una pulpa dental viva; ya que el formocresol ha sido en los últimos 70 años el material más utilizado para tratamientos de pulpotomias. A pesar de los buenos resultados clínicos y radiográficos que encontramos con el formocresol; es un tema de discusión la toxicidad y el potencial mutagénico de este material. Por lo tanto, la introducción de biomateriales en tratamientos pulpares como el MTA; que es un material totalmente biocompatible y con una alta tasa de éxito en tratamientos pulpares con pulpa vital, se debe tomar en cuenta para futuros protocolos. Muchos estudios demuestran que tiene mejor rendimiento que el formocresol, hidróxido de calcio y sulfato férrico. Por todas estas cualidades el MTA puede ser el agente preferido en el futuro. El presente estudio muestra reportes de casos de tratamientos pulpares con MTA en pacientes que son atendidos en el servicio de odontopediatría de la Clínica Odontológica de la Universidad Científica del Sur. Palabras Clave: Pulpotomía, MTA, RPD.
Abstract Pulp therapy in primary teeth is one of the most controversial areas in pediatric dentistry. Especially the vital pulp treatment, where formocresol has been, for the last 70 years, the most widely use substance. Even with the acceptable clinical and radiographic results, some concerns about formocresol¨s toxicity and potencial mutagenicity from sistemic contamination are raised by some authors. Therefore the use of biomaterials in pulp therapy like MTA; which is a material with high biocompatibility and success must be considered in future protocols. Many studies support MTA and in comparison with formocresol, calcium hydroxyde and fecrric sulfate for pulpotomy treatments MTA has high rates clinically and radiographic The present study is a Case Reports of two children whoo are treated in the pediatric dentistry service of the Clinica Odontológica Científica del Sur. The diagnostic process and the treatment given to patients is described. Keywords: Pulpotomy, MTA, DPC

Published: February 2019

Une fouille réalisée à Prades (Pyrénées-Orientales) a mis au jour deux fosses antiques (ier siècle de notre ère) de forme quadrangulaire. Elles sont enduites d’un épais revêtement de terre crue. Des analyses physiques, chimiques et minéralogiques ont permis de déterminer la nature et les proportions des éléments présents dans le limon naturel ainsi que dans les enduits de revêtement des fosses. Ces analyses sont complétées par une recherche de phytolithes qui nous renseigne sur la présence de graminées et de taxons ligneux. La fonction initiale de ces creusements pourrait être la conservation de végétaux, peut-être du fourrage.
Les coussouls de la Crau (Bouches-du-Rhône, xviiie-xxe siècles)
Authors: Riani Annick 
Published: February 2019

Dès le Moyen Âge, la création de canaux d’irrigation permit de commencer à fertiliser la Crau. Vers la fin du xixe siècle, une Crau humide, riche et humanisée contrastait avec les coussouls, ces vastes steppes arides et désolées de la Crau sèche. Les ingénieurs et hommes d’affaires marseillais pensèrent pouvoir simultanément assainir Marseille – qui manquait de terrains vagues propres à l’établissement de dépotoirs suburbains –, et fertiliser cette Crau sèche en répandant sur ses sols préalablement épierrés un engrais composé des « gadoues » arrivant par trains spéciaux de la ville et de végétaux. Mais ce procédé de fertilisation consommait trop d’eau, s’avérait beaucoup trop lent et, surtout, l’idée d’une complémentarité ville-campagne n’était déjà plus guère en vogue alors que l’économie du recyclage parvenait juste à résister aux tendances nouvelles qui s’esquissaient. Face à l’échec de cette tentative devenue avec le temps polluante et dévastatrice pour l’environnement et dans une perspective écologique entièrement nouvelle, l’on renonça à l’orée du xxie siècle à coloniser le site désormais protégé et considéré comme le conservatoire d’un écosystème unique en Europe occidentale.
Coopération médico-vétérinaire et réduction de l’incidence de la toxoplasmose en France
Authors: Coste-Villena Isabelle , Blaga Radu 
Published: February 2019

La toxoplasmose est une zoonose de répartition mondiale, due au protozoaire Toxoplasma gondii
capable d’infecter tous les animaux à sang chaud. L’infection est généralement inapparente ou bénigne chez l’homme sauf en cas d’immunodépression ou lors de transmission materno-fœtale (à l’origine de la toxoplasmose congénitale). Chez les animaux de rente, elle peut être source d’avortements à l’origine de pertes économiques. La contamination se fait le plus souvent par ingestion de kystes (présents dans les viandes) ou d’oocystes souillant les végétaux ou l’eau. Seule la part liée à la contamination des viandes est évoquée dans cet article. Grâce à une coopération entre vétérinaires et médecins du Laboratoire National de Référence Parasites transmis par les aliments (Anses, Maisons-Alfort) et du Centre National de Référence de la Toxoplasmose, Reims (France), des plans de surveillance ont été menés visant à estimer le niveau de contamination des viandes pour mieux comprendre l’épidémiologie humaine.
Emergency Medicine Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE): Findings From the New Electronic SLOE Format
Authors: Jackson Jennifer S. , Bond Michael , Love Jeffrey N. , Hegarty Cullen 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT

Background
Emergency medicine (EM) uses a standardized template for residency application letters of recommendations. In 1997, the Standardized Letter of Recommendation was developed with categories for applicant comparison. Now named the Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE), it is a universal requirement in the EM residency application process. In 2016, a website called “eSLOE” was launched for credentialed academic EM faculty to enter applicant data, which generates a SLOE.

Objective
This article outlines website creation for the eSLOE and its successful national implementation in the 2016–2017 EM residency application cycle. We analyzed current trends in applicant assessments from the eSLOE data and compared them to prior data.

Methods
Data from 2016–2017 were sorted and analyzed for each question on the eSLOE. An analysis of Global Assessment and Qualifications for EM rankings, clerkship grade, and comparison with prior SLOE data was performed.

Results
Analysis of 6715 eSLOEs for 3138 unique applicants revealed the following Global Assessment rankings: top 10%, top one-third, middle one-third, and lower one-third. There was less spread with the distribution for clerkship grade and Qualifications for EM. The 2011–2012 standard letter of recommendation global assessment data, with top 10%, top one-third, middle one-third, and lower one-third, also revealed top-clustered results with less spread compared with the ranking usage in 2016–2017.

Conclusions
Results indicate an improved spread of all rank categories for Global Assessment, enhancing the eSLOE's applicant discrimination. There has been an overall improvement in rank designation when compared with previously published data.

Authors: Ramos Matute Gustavo Antonio 
Published: February 2019

Introducción. La Identificación es el método o sistema empleado para fijar de la manera más segura la identidad de una persona en la vida jurídica, tanto civil como penal y evitar confundirla con otra. La Rugoscopia es una técnica de identificación odontoestomatológica que se preocupa por estudiar, clasificar y registrar las rugosidades palatinas. Objetivo. Proporcionar elementos de juicio para la identificación de personas vivas o muertas a través de estructuras anatómicas específicas dentro de la cavidad oral. Pacientes y Metódos. Para la recolección de datos se realizó la toma de impresión del maxilar, en veinte pacientes atendidos en la clínica de la Carrera de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Honduras en el Valle de Sula (UNAH-VS), luego se procedió a la Calcorugoscopia. El duplicado obtenido se dividió por la línea media y se registraron las formas y números de formas palatinas de cada lado. El paso siguiente fue el llenado de ficha de cada uno de los modelos pertenecientes a los individuos. Resultados. De los 20 pacientes estudiados la forma más común encontrada en el paladar derecho es las curva (24 rugas), en el paladar izquierdo fue la recta (27 rugas). Conclusiones. Las Rugas Palatinas son diferentes de un individuo a otro, en una misma persona ambas mitades del paladar son diferentes. La Calcorusgoscopia es un método de identificación que no permite la presunción.

The Impact of Domain-Specific Experience on Chess Skill: Reanalysis of a Key Study
Authors: Burgoyne Alexander P. , Nye Christopher D. , Macnamara Brooke N. , Charness Neil , Hambrick David Z. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
How important are training and other forms of domain-relevant experience in predicting individual differences in expertise? To answer this question, we used structural equation modeling to reanalyze data from a study of chess by Charness, Tuffiash, Krampe, Reingold, and Vasyukova (2005). Latent variables reflecting serious chess activity and formal instruction, along with a manifest variable indexing serious starting age, accounted for 63% of the variance in peak rating. Serious starting age had a significant negative effect on peak rating (β = –.15), even after we controlled for domain-specific experience, indicating an advantage for starting earlier. We also tested the prediction that formal instruction increases the effectiveness of serious study (Ericsson & Charness, 1994) using moderated regression. This claim was not supported. Overall, the results affirm that serious study and other forms of domain-specific experience are important pieces of the expertise puzzle, but other factors must matter too.

Environmental Context and False Recognition: Evidence from the Remember/Know Procedure
Authors: Jang Yoonhee , Kuper Kevin E. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
We investigated the effect of environmental context on false recognition by using the remember/know procedure. Participants studied word lists, each of which was composed of associates of an unstudied word (critical lure) in one room. Then, they were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. One group moved into a new room (different environmental context) to take a recognition memory test, and the other group took the test in the same room (same environmental context). During the test, participants were asked to provide remember/know judgments about recognized items. A false recognition effect was observed such that the false alarm rate for critical lures was greater compared with distractors and was as high as the hit rate, resulting in no difference in overall discriminability between targets and critical lures. An effect of context-dependent recognition was found as both hit and false alarm rates increased in the same environmental context relative to the different environmental context, without a difference in overall discrimination between the context conditions. Nonetheless, participants used remember responses more often when discriminating targets (rather than critical lures) from distractors, whereas they used familiarity-based responses more often when discriminating critical lures (rather than targets) from distractors in the same environmental context. These results suggest that reinstating environment context plays an important role in false recognition increasing the sense of familiarity.
The Californization of Olympian Love: Olga Fikotová and Harold Connolly’s Cold War Romance
Authors: Dyreson Mark 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
At the height of the Cold War, as nuclear Armageddon between the Western bloc and the Eastern bloc loomed, a ray of hope appeared at the 1956 Olympics. An American gold medalist named Harold Connolly and a Czech gold medalist named Olga Fikotová fell in love. After a whirlwind courtship in front of the world press corps, they married and migrated to the United States, becoming global celebrities. They eventually settled near the golden beaches of California. The narratives about their romance constructed by the media and by the Connollys themselves proclaimed that California dreams could win the Cold War without resort to weapons of mass destruction by employing the engines of mass consumption. From the 1950s through the end of the Cold War in the 1990s, that idea remained endlessly fascinating to the American public and to the advocates of soft-power strategies in Olympic arenas.
A comparison of teaching methods that provide patient orientation to inpatient unit procedures
Authors: Adler Kimberly , McKeever Crystal , Dyer Aubry , Donaldson Marylee , Ward-Smith Peggy 
Published: February 2019

The descriptive longitudinal feasibility study compared two teaching methods focused on inpatient unit orientation. Once admitted, 20 patients were randomly assigned to one of two methods (written or video) that provided unit orientation information. Survey data, which assessed retention of the information and satisfaction with the instructional method, were collected 24 hours later. Descriptive analyses of these data determined that patients who received unit orientation information by video achieved a slightly higher knowledge score, but a slightly lower satisfaction with instruction score. These data demonstrate that the teaching modality has an effect on patient knowledge retention and satisfaction with care. Correlating the descriptive patient demographic and admitting diagnosis data to the study variables revealed that when the admitting diagnosis was alcohol-related there was a negative influence on knowledge retention, which was a surprising result. Coordinating the mode of instruction to patient data, and/or allowing the patient to choose their instructional method may enhance the inpatient experience.
The Application of Bakhtin’s “Heteroglossia” to Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire
Authors: Al-Khalili Raja Khaleel 
Published: February 2019

Tennessee William in A Streetcar Named Desire shows the struggles of middle class Americans as they undergo socio-ideological contradictions. The research applies Bakhtin’s theory that is defined in his book The Dialogic Imagination and specifically applies heteroglossia on A Streetcar Named Desire. Edward Said’s concept of “orientalism” is useful because Said’s concept explains the link between the problems of American society and its heterogeneous structure. Theplay explores the effects of diversity on American society. The characters in the play perceive their lives as a reflection of their linguistically diverse surrounding which is closely tied to the American experience. The play also shows how diversity is seen as a negative presence in America. The research shows how the play is heteroglot by examining the characters’ stories. The play’s narratives reflect the two faces of how the middle class white Americans see the diversity of American culture. The research recommends that the analysis of plays based on the concept of “heteroglossia” could yield more insight into the other plays by Williams.
Economics of Milk Production and Yield Differentials among the Marginal Women Farmers of Jharkhand State in India
Authors: Horo Aniketa , Chandel B. S. 
Published: February 2019

Aim: To determine the economics of milk production and yield gaps of crossbred cow, buffalo and indigenous cow in Jharkhand State of India.
Study Design: The study was designed to cater the scope of production economics in reality by suggesting ways to bridge the yield gaps.
Place and Duration of Study: The present study was conducted using 130 beneficiary farmers in Hazaribagh and Khunti districts of Jharkhand during the 2016-17 agricultural year.
Methodology: As per the technique of the yield gap analysis, developed by Gomez (1977), the total yield gap is the sum of Yield Gap I (YG I) and Yield Gap II (YG II). The various cost components were identified under fixed cost and variable cost. Gross returns and net returns were then calculated accordingly.
Results: The sampled households were post-stratified into two groups: Group 1 abbreviated as G1, having less than or equal to 2 lactating animals and Group 2 as G2, having more than two lactating animals. The proportion of G1 and G2 households were about 79 and 21 per cent, respectively. The results of data analysis reflected that milk yield gap between potential yield and actual yield (YG II) was higher than yield gap between experimental yield and potential yield (YG I) for both household groups across all the type of dairy animals. The YG II in crossbred cow was more than two times higher on G1 farm as compared to G2 farm while it was more than five times higher in local cow. The average productivity of crossbred (9.23 litres/ day) was much higher than the average productivity of buffalo (6.09 litres) and local cow (4.98 litres/day).
Conclusion: Overall value of total yield gap (TYG) entails that if all the constraints regarding the milk production were tackled then the milk yield of the two districts could be increased by about 43 per cent. Buffalo was providing higher net returns per day per animal (Rs. 7.39) in comparison to crossbred (Rs. 5.19). Net returns both for per day and per litre were negative in case of local cow. The study reveals that the marginal farmers can become economically stable by incorporating dairying (crossbred and buffalo) as a component in their farming system.
