Authors: Danilova M. A. , Ishmurzin P. V. , Rudavina T. I. 
Published: October 2024

Relevance. Assessing the influence of risk factors during the primary dentition period on the development of dental arch abnormalities is essential for planning preventive and therapeutic interventions, as well as encouraging compliance with these measures. The first part of this article focused on identifying predictors of malocclusion, while this second part aims to determine the predictors of dental arch abnormalities.Purpose. To identify prognostic factors (predictors) of dental arch abnormalities in children during the primary dentition period.Materials and methods. This study presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the oral health status of 123 children (55 boys and 68 girls). The initial examination took place when the children were between 4.0 and 5.5 years old (mean age 5.1 ± 0.6 years), with follow-up examinations conducted between the ages of 6.0 and 10.5 years (mean age 8.7 ± 1.3 years). The relationship between risk factors in primary dentition and the development of dental arch abnormalities in early mixed dentition was evaluated using Pearson's chi-squared test (χ2) and Welch's t-test (V). For each pair of "primary dentition risk factor – dental arch abnormality in early mixed dentition," the odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was calculated.Results. Differentiating predisposing factors and analyzing the effects of their various combinations allowed the identification of predictor clusters in primary dentition, where the probability of developing dental arch abnormalities in mixed dentition exceeds 95%. For upper arch abnormalities, the cluster includes infantile swallowing and early extraction of deciduous molars in the lower jaw (χ2 = 19.67, V = 0.50); for lower arch abnormalities, the cluster consists of infantile swallowing, "lazy" chewing, sucking habits, and a deep bite in the anterior region (χ2 = 16.58, V = 0.67); For lower incisor crowding, the cluster includes "lazy" chewing, infantile swallowing, and a deep bite in the anterior region (χ2 = 17.54, V = 0.63); for diastema in the upper arch, the cluster includes an abnormal labial frenum and interdental tongue position (χ2 = 19.16, V = 0.49); for maxillary anterior spacing, early extraction of deciduous canines in the upper jaw is the primary factor (χ2 = 16.23, V = 0.46).Conclusion. Identifying and addressing predictors of dental arch abnormalities in children during the primary dentition period can significantly reduce the risk of developing pathological conditions during the mixed dentition period.

Authors: Minnakhmetova D. R. , Topolnitsky O. Z. , Rizakhanova A. M. , Tikhonova I. V. 
Published: October 2024

Relevance. Malocclusions accounts for 37% to 89% of all maxillofacial conditions in children aged 3 to 18 across various regions of Russia. These malocclusions can present as isolated issues in a single plane or as combined anomalies across multiple planes. Jaw narrowing or underdevelopment is influenced by various endogenous and exogenous factors. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the malocclusion. While literature indicates several effective methods for treating transverse malocclusions, some aspects remain insufficiently explored.Materials and methods. A statistical analysis was conducted on 271 patient records of individuals with transverse malocclusions who received treatment in the Department of Pediatric Maxillofacial Surgery at A.I. Evdokimov Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, between 2013 and 2023.Results. There was an almost equal distribution of patients by gender, with a noticeable increase in medical consultations from 2013 to 2023. The majority of surgically treated patients were between 15 and 17 years old. Isolated transverse malocclusions were significantly less common than cases combined with other pathologies, with mesial occlusion being the most frequent comorbidity.Conclusion. The findings demonstrate a significant need for surgical treatment in pediatric patients with transverse malocclusions through distraction osteogenesis. This underscores the importance of continually improving treatment methods for children, including enhancing diagnostics, refining treatment indications, optimizing distraction protocols, and adjusting treatment courses. These efforts aim to improve the quality of rehabilitation for children, ensuring better outcomes into adulthood and facilitating their social adaptation.

Published: October 2024

AbstractNon-instrumental counterfactual curiosity (i.e., the search for information about forgone options that is not useful for improving future outcomes) has especially been observed after outcomes perceived as negative and, consequently, attributed to forms of regret management. In three online experiments (N = 620), we extended the study of counterfactual curiosity about economically incentivized decisions in younger and older adults. Participants played independent rounds of a card-drawing game by choosing one of two decks to turn over the top, covered card, which could increase, decrease, or have no effect on an initial endowment. Following that, they could examine the top card of the other deck to see if and how the outcome could have differed. Experiment 1 featured identical decks, making the choice between them random. In Experiment 2, participants made a deliberate choice between a riskier and a safer deck, each varying in the extremity of potential wins and losses. In Experiment 3, the decks were identical to those in Experiment 2, but access to counterfactual information was contingent upon participants forfeiting part of their endowment. Results showed a relevant portion of both younger and older adults displayed curiosity for non-instrumental counterfactual information, especially when it was free and likely to reveal that the forgone option would have been better than the chosen one. Older adults exhibited a higher level of curiosity than younger counterparts only when choices were deliberate and counterfactual information was free. These findings are discussed in relation to current perspectives on the regret-management function of counterfactual curiosity.

La quête japonaise pour la suprématie dans le contexte de la contribution de l’Asie orientale à la Grande Guerre : infirmières japonaises contre « coolies » chinois
Authors: Schmidt Jan 
Published: October 2024

En août 1914, le Japon affirmait représenter et défendre l’Asie orientale. Le pays se voyait au même niveau de civilisation que les puissances de l’Entente, ce qui a été symbolisé par l’envoi de la Croix-Rouge japonaise en Europe. Les rares fois où les médias japonais ont évoqué les travailleurs chinois présents en Europe, ils l’ont fait à travers un « regard impérialiste ». On supposait alors que le contact avec la société européenne avait sur eux un effet civilisateur. La crainte de voir les compatriotes est-asiatiques être victimes de racisme ne se faisait ressentir que très rarement. En tant qu’administratrices de fait de la péninsule du Shandong, les autorités japonaises ont apporté leur concours au recrutement des « coolies », qu’elles considéraient comme de vulgaires produits. Leur transport vers l’Europe n’était pour elles qu’une simple question administrative. Après 1919, les travailleurs revenus d’Europe étaient considérés comme une menace pour l’empire officieux japonais en Chine. Ils étaient suspectés d’être manipulés par les États-Unis, d’où le refus de leur accorder un rôle actif2.
Discipline, Résistance et « Face » : le cas des Huagong (Travailleurs chinois d’outre-mer) durant la Première Guerre mondiale en France
Authors: Bailey Paul J. 
Published: October 2024

Jusqu’à récemment, l’histoire de la main-d’œuvre contractuelle chinoise durant la Première Guerre mondiale en France a été généralement négligée par les historiens occidentaux et chinois. Cet article explore deux aspects de l’épisode qui risquent d’être négligés durant la célébration actuelle (en France et en Chine) de la contribution des travailleurs chinois à l’effort de guerre allié. Tout d’abord, cet article explore les attitudes paradoxales et profondément ambivalentes à l’égard des travailleurs chinois parmi leurs employeurs français et britanniques. Ensuite, en mettant en évidence comment les travailleurs chinois ont fait preuve d’esprit d’initiative par leur décision de défendre leurs intérêts, ainsi qu’en examinant toute leur « palette » de tactiques de résistance pour protester contre les conditions de travail ou les mauvais traitements, cet article fait valoir que l’épisode doit être situé dans l’histoire plus générale de la main-d’œuvre chinoise au xxe siècle2.
