Authors: Yilmaz R. Burcu Nur , Cakan Derya Germec , Mesgarzadeh Nasim 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of natal/neonatal teeth in infants with cleft lip and palate (CLP) according to gender, involving jaw and side and to show the management of some cases. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on medical history and photographic records of 69 infants with CLP, who were treated at the CLP clinic of Yeditepe University between years 2014–2015. The presence of neonatal teeth was determined, and if present the gender, type of cleft, and position were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: Neonatal teeth were observed in 7% of the study group. No significant differences were found between cleft types and gender (P > 0.05). The prevalence of neonatal teeth in bilateral, unilateral and isolated cleft type was 16.5%, 6.5%, and none, respectively. All neonatal teeth were located in the maxilla and on the cleft-side (100%). Conclusion: The presence of natal/neonatal teeth in infants with CLP was not rare. In all of these cases the teeth were located adjacent to the cleft region. In isolated palatal cleft, where the alveolar region including the teeth buds are away from the cleft, no neonatal teeth were observed. It may be concluded that neonatal teeth in infants with CLP are frequently present and located inside the borders of the presurgical orthopedic treatment (POT) plate. Therefore, if possible, immediate extraction of the neonatal teeth is advised or if not possible because of systemic health reasons, modifications of the plate are required.

Resistencia y empatía. Poética del hormigón en La Roiba
Authors: Cornellana Díaz Joan Ramon 
Published: February 2016

<p>En 1968 Ramón Vázquez Molezún construyó La Roiba, su refugio en el mar, enteramente en hormigón. En el hormigón de La Roiba convive el carácter defensivo de un búnker con la empatía con el lugar y la posibilidad de vivir sin restricciones una vida que celebra el encuentro diario con el mar. En este artículo se investiga en esa síntesis que se produce en el hormigón de La Roiba, sin apenas precedentes en España, y que inauguraba nuevas posibilidades para el espacio doméstico. La Roiba es un caso representativo de la capacidad del hormigón para conciliar exigencias aparentemente contradictorias.</p>
Comparison of the Pain Perception of Conventional and Computer-controlled Anesthesia Techniques for Extraction of Maxillary First Premolar
Authors: Manekar Varsha Sunil 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Anterior middle superior alveolar (AMSA) block is a nerve block technique in conjunction with computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (CCLAD) system. Anterior middle superior alveolar produces local anesthesia (LA) to the maxillary teeth from second premolar to the central incisor including the hard palate and corresponding soft-tissue of both buccal and palatal side, with single palatal injection.

Aim
To evaluate efficacy of AMSA block for extraction of maxillary first premolar.

Study design
In randomized single blind, split mouth clinical trial, the 14 patients received the conventional buccal-palatal (B-P) anesthesia on one side and CCLAD anesthesia AMSA for other side. The treatment consisted of bilateral extraction of maxillary first premolars for orthodontics. Pain perception ratings were obtained by using 10 point visual analog scale (VAS).

Results
A total of 100% cases had painless injection with CCLAD, whereas 28.57% patients had painless injection experience with conventional LA. In all cases, there was no pain during extraction on both sides. With CCLAD, buccal retraction was painful in four cases whereas palatal retraction was painful in one case.

Conclusion
Anterior middle superior alveolar block injected with CCLAD is better as LA technique for extraction of maxillary first premolar as compared to B-P approach.

Assessment of Parent's Preference to General or Local Anesthesia for Children undergoing Dental Treatment
Authors: Vellingiri Sutharshana 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT

Background
Investigators have begun to address the relationship of parental satisfaction with dental care for children since the dentist/physician and the patient are all aware of the services being provided. These determining characters are essential for compliance of the patient, as patient satisfaction is directly related to health-related issues, needs, and practice. Patient satisfaction has an important role in determining the utilization of the healthcare services and the compliance behavior of the patients. Factors which can influence the patients’ decision to seek care and follow through to the completion of the treatment process can affect the physiologic and functional outcomes of the treatment. Hence, this survey was done to evaluate parent's preference to general or local anesthesia in their children's dental treatments.

Materials and methods
In this survey, a modified and adapted questionnaire from a previously tested survey that was used to assess parental satisfaction with dental treatments under general anesthesia in pediatric dentistry, was used to assess parents’ preference to general or local anesthesia. Parents whose children were going to undergo treatments in Department of Pedodontics, Saveetha Dental College, was issued with this questionnaire and clinical examination of teeth present and treatment to be done was examined.

Results
Ninety-seven percent of the parents preferred local anesthesia to general anesthesia. Parents preferred general anesthesia most only in case child below the age of 3 and when multiple settings are required of and their knowledge about anesthesia and its side effects was found to low and preferred local anesthesia in most cases.

Conclusion
Parents play a unique role in dental care and over all well being of the child. Some parents and dental practitioners prefer the presence of a parent with their child during the delivery of in-office dental care. Parents are aware of their child's previous dental experiences and are also aware of the child's interest and fear. Most of the parent's preference was to local anesthesia (97%) and preferred general anesthesia under given circumstances.

Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
Years ago, narcotics have been used as strong analgesics in relieving severe acute or chronic pain. However high dose of narcotics leads to many side-effects like respiratory depression, apnea, nausea, vomiting, physical and mental dependence, etc. Thus, narcotics along with other medicines known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are being increasingly used. The biggest risk with NSAIDs is severe and sometimes fatal gastrointestinal bleeding, increase in stomach acid, reduce the stomach's normal protective mucus layer, cause damage to the kidneys in people over 60; those with high blood pressure, heart disease, or pre-existing kidney disease. Ayurvedic medicines strengthen and enhance the body's own healing process. As all the ingredients are herbal, there is no fear of any adverse effects and hence effective results can be seen in relieving pain. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the study drug in providing efficient and adequate pain relief after minor oral surgical procedures.

Restoring Mandibular Anterior Teeth with Porcelain Laminate Veneers and other Restorations
Authors: Greenberg Joseph R 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT
Patients are keeping their natural teeth longer, and the normal sequelae of human facial aging cause an increase in display of the mandibular anterior teeth. The design protocol for mandibular anterior restorations is quite different from maxillary anterior teeth.
This article defines and emphasizes these important differences and presents rules and rationale for successful fabrication of natural appearing, functional restorations for mandibular anterior teeth. A review of the key anatomical, functional and esthetic factors is included.

Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor for Treatment of Thin Endometrium in Assisted Reproduction Technology Cycles
Authors: Lele Prasad 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACTGranulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), a glycoprotein, belongs to colony stimulating factor family and mainly regulates the growth and differentiation of granulocytes. However, it also plays an important role in endometrial stromal cell decidualization, ovulation, implantation, placental metabolism, trophoblast development and endometrial regeneration. It is due to these effects, it has been used in difficult clinical scenarios, such as unresponsive thin endometrium during assisted reproductive technology treatment, repeated implantation failure and recurrent miscarriages. Most of the studies have investigated its use in thin endometrium. In this review, we have summarized the current updated evidence with regards to use of G-CSF in women with thin endometriumHow to cite this articleKamath MS, Lele P.

How have past fire disturbances contributed to the current carbon balance of boreal ecosystems?

Published: February 2016

Abstract. Boreal fires have immediate effects on regional carbon budgets by emitting CO2 into the atmosphere at the time of burning, but they also have legacy effects by initiating a long-term carbon sink during post-fire vegetation recovery. Quantifying these different effects on the current-day pan-boreal (44–84° N) carbon balance and quantifying relative contributions of legacy sinks by past fires is important for understanding and predicting the carbon dynamics in this region. Here we used the global dynamic vegetation model ORCHIDEE–SPITFIRE (Organising Carbon and Hydrology In Dynamic Ecosystems – SPread and InTensity of FIRE) to attribute the contributions by fires in different decades between 1850 and 2009 to the carbon balance of 2000–2009, taking into account the atmospheric CO2 change and climate change since 1850. The fire module of ORCHIDEE–SPITFIRE was turned off for each decade in turn and was also turned off before and after the decade in question in order to model the legacy carbon trajectory by fires in each past decade. We found that, unsurprisingly, fires that occurred in 2000–2009 are a carbon source (−0.17 Pg C yr−1) for the carbon balance of 2000–2009, whereas fires in all decades before 2000 contribute carbon sinks with a collective contribution of 0.23 Pg C yr−1. This leaves a net fire sink effect of 0.06 Pg C yr−1, or 6.3 % of the simulated regional carbon sink (0.95 Pg C yr−1). Further, fires with an age of 10–40 years (i.e., those that occurred during 1960–1999) contribute more than half of the total sink effect of fires. The small net sink effect of fires indicates that current-day fire emissions are roughly balanced out by legacy sinks. The future role of fires in the regional carbon balance remains uncertain and will depend on whether changes in fires and associated carbon emissions will exceed the enhanced sink effects of previous fires, both being strongly affected by global change.
The Playwright's Perplexity Constitution, Contagion, and Consumption in The Doctor's Dilemma
Authors: Soloski Alexis 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACT:
Written at a time when earlier etiologies of tuberculosis had given way to germ theory, Bernard Shaw's 1906 play The Doctor's Dilemma: A Tragedy both challenges and confirms scientific and literary conventions regarding consumption and those who suffer it. While the play's preface stands staunchly against germ theory, the play itself offers a rather more perplexed and perplexing treatment of the disease.
Birdsong and a Song about a Bird: Popular Music and the Mediation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Northeastern Brazil
Authors: Silvers Michael B. 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
The mid-twentieth century songs of popular singer Luiz Gonzaga include lyrics about northeastern Brazil’s traditional ecological knowledge. For individuals who predict rain and drought based on natural patterns in the region’s semi-arid backlands, Gonzaga’s music continues to lend credibility, clarity, and local significance to the practice known as rain prophecy. Through cultural history, lyrical and musical analysis, and ethnography, this article examines the process through which Gonzaga’s voice became a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge about the weather, suggesting that music produced through a profit-driven industry has played a role in the maintenance of local ecological knowledge.
A Response to Peter Cooke’s Response
Authors: Nannyonga-Tamusuza Sylvia , Weintraub Andrew N. 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
In the spirit of scholarly dialogue about issues of common concern, we would like to respond to Peter Cooke’s critique of our article “The Audible Future: Reimagining the Role of Sound Archives and Sound Repatriation in Uganda” (Ethnomusicology 56:2). His comments appear to be based on misunderstandings of our statements and on personal interpretations with which we take issue. We did not state in the article that Wachsmann mistreated or infringed on the rights of the people of Uganda. We highly respect and continue to honor the contributions of Klaus Wachsmann as a scholar, collector, and curator of Ugandan music. Indeed, it is because of the great respect for Wachsmann, and the hard work he did to preserve the great wealth of Uganda’s musical culture, that the Makerere University Klaus Wachsmann Music Archive (MAKWMA) was named after him. Our goal was for readers to reflect on the theoretical premises, ethnographic practices, and ethical standards that informed Wachsmann’s field recordings. How can Wachsmann’s “motivations, preferences, and limitations” help us to understand those premises, practices, and standards (p. 208)? Wachsmann’s work in Uganda raises issues about a particular time and place in the history of ethnomusicology, and it is in the spirit of historical and cultural critique that we wrote the article.
Taking Self-help Books Seriously: The Informal Aesthetic Education of Writers
Authors: Peary Alexandria 
Published: February 2016

AbstractAesthetic education with a writing focus has occurred in the United States through two vehicles: textbooks in classroom-based instruction or self-help books in extracurricular instruction. Self-help books on writing, or texts that address a readership interested in learning about composing independent of a teacher or university, played a significant role in guiding countless individuals during the twentieth century and continues to do so today. The evolution of these self-help books paralleled the development of college and university writing courses that arose early in the twentieth century: indeed, a powerful informal aesthetic education has been occurring through self-help books. In this article, I perform a textual analysis of five twentieth-century self-help books, all attracting substantial readership: Dorothea Brande’s Becoming a Writer (1934); Brenda Ueland’s If You Want to Write (1938); Peter Elbow’s Writing Without Teachers (1973); Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones (1986); and Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird (1995). An examination of these popular twentieth-century self-help books reveals four areas of overlapping content. Collectively, self-help books on writing address the role of the unconscious in composing, issues of control, the holistic nature of composing, and failures in traditional teaching; and they all formulate a broader argument about the universal ability of humans to be creative.
On the Quest for Better Communication through Tactile Images
Authors: Strickfaden Megan , Vildieu Aymeric 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Art in Western civilization has become a commodity that is fixed to walls and viewed through the eyes. In fact, most museums and galleries post "Do not touch" signs dissuading audiences from partaking in anything but the visual aspects of art. Yet art production is something that is inherently tactile; it involves engaging with art media such as paint and brush or clay that is molded by the human hand. Compounded by the "Do not touch" attitude is the taboo in society that draws people away from sensuality, especially touch. Yet touch is a natural way of exploring the world and, according to many researchers, a natural and important way of exploring art as well. There are many historical examples of art that have tactile components, for example, relief on Egyptian stone tablets and brush-stroked textures on a Mondrian painting. Even so, these are typically intended for visual-centric audiences and are not necessarily designed or intended to be touched. Yet, another story exists, which is the development of tactile representations of maps, artwork, and other materials for people who are visually impaired.3

Authors: Maldonado Rivera Ivette , Romero Liz 
Published: February 2016

Para determinar la eficacia de los mapas conceptuales en el desarrollo de las competencias de búsqueda y evaluación de información se seleccionaron, mediante la técnica de muestreo no probabilístico, 30 estudiantes matriculados en un curso de Gerencia durante el lapso académico 2012-2013. Se utilizó un enfoque de investigación cuantitativo y un diseño cuasi-experimental. Los estudiantes participaron en una unidad instruccional sobre búsqueda y evaluación de información electrónica, basada en mapas conceptuales. Para determinar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes se administró un examen que también fue utilizado como preprueba. Para conocer la opinión de los estudiantes sobre la estrategia implementada se administró un cuestionario de opinión. Debido a que hubo un aumento significativo en las medias aritméticas de la posprueba cuando se comparó con las medias de la preprueba se concluyó que los mapas conceptuales representan una estrategia efectiva para el aprendizaje de competencias de búsqueda y evaluación de información.
Approche par compétences et évaluation à large échelle : deux logiques incompatibles ?
Authors: Dierendonck Christophe , Fagnant Annick 
Published: February 2016

Depuis les années 1990, un changement de paradigme s’opère dans la plupart des systèmes d’éducation : le pilotage centré sur les ressources investies (inputs) se transforme progressivement en un pilotage centré sur les résultats (outputs). C’est dans ce contexte que se sont développés les dispositifs d’évaluation externe à large échelle des acquis scolaires des élèves, tant au niveau international (comme PIRLS et PISA) qu’au niveau national ou même au niveau local. En parallèle, l’approche par compétences a été instaurée progressivement dans les référentiels scolaires et les classes. Basée sur un travail au départ de tâches complexes, l’approche par compétences n’est cependant pas sans poser certains problèmes sur le plan de l’évaluation. Certains auteurs affirment même que les évaluations externes à large échelle et l’approche par compétences présentent des logiques contradictoires et que, dès lors, les deux éléments sont inconciliables. L’objectif de cet article est de nuancer ce genre d’affirmations en rendant compte d’un dispositif d’évaluation exploratoire à large échelle combinant une évaluation « classique » (constitué d’un nombre important d’items à corriger de façon standardisée) et une évaluation de compétences à visée diagnostique (tâches complexes, tâches complexes décomposées et tâches élémentaires associées).
Perception de la qualité d’une formation universitaire par les étudiants : étude comparative selon le mode d’orientation et l’ancienneté dans le cursus
Authors: Weisser Marc , Gangloff-Ziegler Christine , Hermann Hélène 
Published: February 2016

Le processus de Bologne enjoint aux universités de mesurer la qualité de leurs formations. En France, les étudiants y sont associés dans leur établissement. Le dispositif repose sur un questionnaire composé à partir de leurs propres critères de qualité. Cette étude identifie des différences de jugement selon deux caractéristiques : les participants appartiennent-ils à une filière sélective ? Sont-ils en début/en fin de formation ? Les étudiants orientés après sélection se sentent plus reconnus dans leurs formations et manifestent une confiance supérieure dans leur reconnaissance sociale. En revanche, l’acquisition d’ancienneté ne modifie pas le degré de satisfaction.
