Efficacy of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Jaw Function in Bruxism Among Post Stroke Survivor: A Case Study
Authors: Umasankar Yamini , Srinivasan Vignesh , Suganthirababu Prathap , Murugaiyan Poovarasan 
Published: September 2024

A 49-year-old male who was a known case of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertensive had a history of an acute infarct in the left ganglia capsular region and a chronic infarct in the left parieto-occipital lobe, which was conservatively managed and was referred for physiotherapy rehabilitation for strengthening the right upper and lower limb. During the physiotherapy intervention, abnormal teeth grinding was observed, and the patient was asked about parafunctional behaviour. Upon examination, there was a restriction in the jaw range of motion assessed by measuring the jaw range using the vernier caliper and tightness in the masticatory muscle, as evidenced by palpating the masseter muscle. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and ultrasound therapy were given for 1 session per week for 2 weeks to treat bruxism along with standardized stroke protocol. At the end of 2 weeks after the intervention, there was an increase in jaw opening and reduced masticatory muscle activity. Jaw opening was measured using a vernier caliper, and masticatory activity was measured using electromyography of the masseter and temporalis muscles. This study suggests the importance of treating bruxism to prevent complications related to it. It concludes that proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and ultrasound therapy were effective in improving mouth opening and reducing the masticatory activity in bruxism among stroke patients with ganglia capsular involvement.

Authors: NARENGAOWA  , Tungalag Orosoo 
Published: September 2024

Background Learning involves numerous self-regulatory processes, and self-regulated learning includes a few metacognitive strategies. Metacognitive skills start to develop at a very young age, though preschool children face some challenges while using metacognitive strategies. Objectives The study primarily aims to explore how young students are using metacognitive strategies in their daily activities and how effective they are. Method The sample of the study is 15 students from a public kindergarten in China, with ages ranging from 3 years to 6 years. The investigation is qualitative in nature and has employed a case study research design. It involves an observational study along with an interview with the teachers. Results From observational data and content analysis of the interviews, it is revealed that young children do use metacognitive strategies in their regular class activities, which vary according to their age. Teachers’ support is found to be essential, especially for this age group of children, for effective use of these strategies. Moreover, it is also seen that metacognitive strategies are also important in developing social skills among young children. Conclusion Consequently, the findings of this research have significant implications, especially for the teachers and parents who support the children and use metacognitive interventions for their holistic development.

Published: September 2024

This research investigated the mine plans used for the production target and annual production of limestone for the past seven (7) years. The actual amount of limestone produced per year in tons was computed to determine the variations in the mine's production and the life span of the reserve of limestone deposits. A new mine plan was proposed, and a targeted amount of limestone production per year was suggested. The mine plans for the mine's production were generated from 2014 to 2020 using a complete data collection system for Real Time (RTK) GPS and Total Stations with in-field coordinate geometry called SurCE by Carlson Software. The total production target for the seven (7) years was 87,017,146 tons and the actual production was 76,313,056 tons. The total variations for the years under this assessment were -10,704,090 tons except for the year 2018 when the actual production was higher than the production target of 511,179 tons. The volumetric reserve estimation revealed that the total volume of the limestone reserve is 5,052,236,090.186 tons. The expected production per week was computed to be 356,400 tons/week, expected monthly production, (EMP) was estimated to be 1,425,600 tons/month. The expected production year, (EPY) was 17,107,200 tons/year and the life span of the limestone deposit, (LS) was computed to be 295.34 years. It can be suggested that the company should target a production rate of 1,425,200 monthly and 17,104,200 per year. This suggestion can be achieved if there is enough investment in terms of skilled labour, heavy-duty machinery, and equipment which will cost-effectively boost production.
Correlation between Serum Levels of Factor I, CD59, Interferon-gamma, and Interleukin-6 with the Response to Rituximab in Iraqi Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Hussein Haider Mohammed , Kasim Ali Abdulhussain 
Published: September 2024

Background: Rituximab is a chimeric IgG1 kappa immunoglobulin that has been genetically modified to incorporate human constant region sequences together with murine light- and heavy-chain variable region sequences. People use it to treat rheumatoid arthritis and certain malignancies. Objective: The study aimed to assess the potential association between the serum levels of Factor I, CD59, interleukins (IL)-6, and interferon-gamma (IFN)-γ and the response to Rituximab treatment in Iraqi rheumatoid arthritis patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the rheumatology center at Baghdad Teaching Hospital. Ninety adult patients who have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and are receiving Rituximab intravenous infusions were included. The enrolled patients were divided into a responder group (45 patients) and a non-responder group (45 patients). The response to Rituximab was assessed according to the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). Results: The serum levels of Factor I and CD59 were significantly higher in the non-responders group in comparison to the responders group. In addition, the serum IL-6 and IFN-γ levels were significantly elevated in the non-responders group in comparison to the responders group. The estimated marker serum levels showed a strong, significant correlation with the 6-month change in DAS28. Conclusions: In Rituximab nonresponder RA patients, serum levels of Factor I, CD59, Factor H, IL-6, and IFN-γ are higher, and they have good potential to be used in the assessment of the response to Rituximab therapy.

Rapid repair of RC columns with post-tensioned external clamps
Authors: Rincón Julián D , Pujol Santiago 
Published: September 2024

A recent technique for repair of damaged reinforced concrete (RC) columns is reviewed. The technique involves the application of external post-tensioned clamps. The clamps are composed of steel angles and high-strength steel rods. The pairs of angles are placed on the corners of the cross-section, and they are connected with steel rods to each other. To evaluate the effectiveness of the repair technique, four large-scale RC columns with insufficient transverse reinforcement were subjected to lateral displacement reversals and constant axial load. The tests were conducted in two phases: initial testing of columns with none to light transverse reinforcement, followed by the application of clamps on the damaged columns and further testing. The study focused on the efficacy of the clamps to a) restore the lateral-carrying capacity of damaged RC columns, and b) increase drift capacity. Variations in lateral expansion of the column core and their plausible correlations with damage and ‘repairability’ are examined. Within the conditions investigated, two key requirements are proposed for safe column repair: 1) the concrete in damaged columns with cross-sectional expansion exceeding 1% should be replaced or repaired before clamps are applied as a repair measure, and 2) clamps should be proportioned to resist 100% of the maximum plausible shear demand even though perceptible contributions to shear resistance attributable to the concrete were observed in columns repaired before excessive expansion occurred. In columns with crisscrossing inclined cracks leading to lateral cross-sectional expansion of up to 1%, clamps were observed to provide effective shear resistance comparable to what conventional transverse reinforcement can provide.

THE FORUM: A Section Devoted to Learned Opinion
Authors: Wagman James 
Published: September 2024

The American academic community is afflicted with a two-fold ideological blindness, affecting both its social position and its internal intellectual orie ntat ion. First, it has underestimated the role of market forces in determining the rewards and status of higher education, rationalizing its position in terms of social service and intellectual con­ tribution. Second, it has, through the "publish or perish" syndrome, unconsciously applied an essentially market view of intellectual motiva­ tion, ignoring the Social Darwinist and Taylorist origins of this view, and their relevance to the most onerous working-class jobs of early industrialism .
Britain and Japan: Twins of Time and Tradition
Authors: Katz Joseph 
Published: September 2024

Among the more remarkable social phenomena of the present day are two islands on either side of the world, Japan in the Pacific and Britain in the Atlantic. What is remarkable about these two islands is the way in which they resemble each other in their development, in their situation, in their historical and social movements. Each island lies adjacent to a large land mass, Japan next to Asia, and Britain off the coast of Europe. Japan's 143,000 square miles as against Britain's 96,000 square miles may appear to be unequal, but when one considers the habitable portions of these two lands this inequality disappears. Again, Japan's approximately 100,000,000 people are almost twice those in Britain, butthe population density of the two islands is of the order of 630 for Japan as against 550 for Britain, two figures which underline the proximity of their population problems. Apart from the coal in Britain, each of these islands is devoid of any other large body of natural resources and is dependent not only upon the import of raw materials with which to undertake manufacture of any kind but upon the cultivation of its human resources to an almost unprecedented degree. Although each island devotes a large portion of its land to agriculture, nevertheless they are both dependent upon other lands for food. Again, around Osaka, Japan has the Black Country counterpart of England, and has outlying islands which are not unlike those off the coast of Britain.
Higher Education and the New Men of Power in Society
Authors: CLARK S. D. 
Published: September 2024

It is to the place of higher education in our society that discussion in this paper is directed. The concern here, however, is not with the need of extending the benefits of a higher education, nor with the problem of securing the necessary financial support for such an extension. That need has been well demonstrated and that problem fully explored by the Commission on the Financing of Higher Education in Canada established by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.1 What this paper is concerned with is the problem of the consequences for society when a large part, but by no means the whole, of our body of young people are provided with the benefits of a university education. It is about the young people left behind - those young people who, for one reason or another, fail to mount the educational ladder to success and whose position in society, as a consequence of the growing importance of higher education, worsens relatively rather than improves. Nothing that is said in this regard should be taken to suggest that we ought to slacken in any degree our efforts to extend the benefits of a higher education. If, underlying the discussion in this paper, there is implied an end to which we should strive it is that the whole of our population should eventually come to enjoy the benefits of such an education, whether secured in a university or some other type of institution. But the realization of such an end is not yet in sight, and in the meantime it is urgent to take account of the consequences for society of the very considerably increased importance which has been given to higher education.
Selection and Reform in West German Education
Authors: LAWSON ROBERT F. 
Published: September 2024

In most countries of the world, renewed consideration has been given recently to the dilemma of providing educational opportunity to the greates number of children while maintaining standards of excellence, especially in secondary and higher schools for the more academically able. Although the attention given to one or the other of these goals depends on what educators and the general public believe has been the imbalance in the particular system, neither objective can be dismissed as unimportant, and educators taking an extreme mass or elitist position do so at their own professional peril.
Modele du Processus d'Experience Esthetique
Authors: Beaudoin Huguette 
Published: September 2024

My intention in this article is to clarify the concept of aesthetic experience. It offers a definition and presentation of the stages required to actualize this phenomenon. To begin with, we will examine the various conceptions of aesthetic experience, through the best known authors in the area of aesthetics. Through the analysis of these conceptions, we will build the foundation of an aesthetic experience model. This will enable us to better understand what occurs within individuals when they have an aesthetic experience. Thus, it will illustrate the stages required to carry out this process and the behaviors in which it is manifest. Ultimately, the aim is to develop a tool with which to evaluate clearly the degree of realization of the aesthetic experience in subjects, within the educational framework of aesthetic sensitivity. Therefore, we will review the literature by grouping the various conceptions of aesthetic experience of authors who have influenced the area of aesthetics the most in the last ten years, with recourse to secondary and even tertiary sources. This is a synthesis of a subject that is extremely vague and difficult to organize. In fact, there presently exists a multitude of aesthetic theories which emerged in Europe since the 18th century, a time in which we began to consider aesthetics as a separate discipline. The authors studied here are for the most part American authors because of their proximity to us and to our North American lifestyle.
