Authors: Meru S , Gomes Aaron F. , Oberai Sonal , Rekhi Amit 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background:
Carbonated beverage is known to reduce salivary pH and may even reduce it to critical levels resulting in structural damage to teeth. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effect of a carbonated drink on salivary pH and compare changes in pH after intervention measures chlorhexidine mouthwash (chx), sodium bicarbonate rinse (soda), polyol-containing chewing gum (gum), brushing with fluoridated toothpaste (paste), and rinsing with water (water); following exposure to carbonated drink.

Materials and Methods:
Thirty participants in this 6-arm crossover trial consumed carbonated beverage, and 15 min later, they used any one of the above interventions. pH of saliva was recorded before consumption of beverage, 5, and 15 min after consumption and 15, 30, and 45 min after the secondary intervention. In the control group, no secondary intervention was applied.

Results:
Mean baseline salivary pH was 6.7 (±0.31). Salivary pH returned to baseline between 15 and 30 min after using chx, brush, and soda. pH when using gum, water, and control remained significantly lower than baseline after 60 min of consumption of beverage.

Conclusion:
Carbonated beverage can alter the pH of saliva to critical levels. The use of interventions such as chx, brush, and soda can restore it to normal range.

Authors: Badger Sophie , Wilkinson Dean , Chopra Isha 
Published: October 2024

Round Midnight is a creative arts company that specialises in the use of drama and technology in education. They piloted a series of Virtual Reality (VR) based workshops for children and young people across Birmingham, focusing on issues within communities such as knife crime and gang violence. An exploratory evaluation of the initial impact of the workshops was carried out in two Year Five and Year Six classes in a primary school in Birmingham. Quantitative and Qualitative pre- and post-survey data from children, and a teacher focus group, were used to assess the influence of the programme on the following: (1) Understanding knife crime, the misconceptions and why people may carry knives; (2) Understanding the dangers, consequences and implications of carrying knives; (3) Recognising loyal and trustworthy friendships; (4) Recognising how to resolve conflict safely.Survey data suggested a decrease in children’s self-reported likelihood of carrying a knife after they had participated in the workshops. The data suggested children had more in-depth knowledge of knife crime, including the misconceptions, consequences and impacts of carrying a knife after participating in the workshops. Children also showed an understanding of safe conflict resolution after the workshops. Overall, the data suggests that the pilot of the Round Midnight Virtual Decisions: KNIVES curriculum had a positive impact on children’s knowledge, understanding and attitudes toward knife crime. Practical applications are discussed.

BACKGROUND
Vaccine hesitancy is a major challenge in the fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Identifying the sociodemographic factors associated with vaccine acceptance among Nigerians is crucial for improving vaccine uptake.
AIM
To assess the acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccine and its related determinants among Nigerians.
METHODS
An online cross-sectional survey (observational study) was conducted between February 2021 and May 2021, using a questionnaire hosted on SurveyMonkey. The invitation to take part in the poll was sent out to participants through social networking platforms. A logistic regression was used to determine which sociodemographic factors were associated with vaccine acceptance constructs.
RESULTS
A total of 1800 persons responded to the survey, a larger proportion of whom were males (53.9%) and within the age group of 21-30 years (29.4%) and earned an average income of less than $500 per month (43.3%). Only 0.56% of participants had a high perceived risk of COVID-19 infection, while only 1.11% had a perceived risk of dying from COVID-19. The perception rate of the COVID-19 vaccine among participants was 51.1%, while the acceptance rate was 63.9%. There was no significant association between the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate and related determinants assessed, particularly age (χ ² = 3.049, P = 0.550), sex (χ ² = 0.102, P = 0.749), average income (χ ² = 3.802, P = 0.875), and religion (χ ² = 2.819, P = 0.420). Participants with chronic conditions demonstrated a higher acceptance rate compared to the general population.
CONCLUSION
Despite the positive perception observed and substantial vaccine acceptance rate among the study participants, more public health interventions are still needed to enhance vaccine acceptability in Nigeria.

Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND
Invasive fungal infections, particularly candidemia, pose significant clinical challenges globally. Understanding local epidemiology, species distribution, and antifungal susceptibility patterns is crucial for effective management despite regional variations.
AIM
To investigate the epidemiology, species distribution, antifungal susceptibility patterns, and associated risk factors of candidemia among patients in Bahrain from 2021 to 2023.
METHODS
This retrospective study analyzed demographic data, Candida species distribution, antifungal susceptibility profiles, and risk factors among candidemia patients treated at a tertiary care hospital in Bahrain over three years. Data was collected from medical records and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
RESULTS
A total of 430 candidemia cases were identified. The mean age of patients was 65.7 years, with a mortality rate of 85.5%. Candida albicans (C. albicans ) was the most common species, followed by Candida parapsilosis , Candida tropicalis (C. tropicalis) , and emerging multidrug-resistant Candida auris (C. auris ). Antifungal susceptibility varied across species, with declining susceptibility to azoles observed, particularly among C. albicans and C. tropicalis . Major risk factors included central venous catheters, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and surgical procedures.
CONCLUSION
This study highlights the substantial burden of candidemia among older adults in Bahrain, characterized by diverse Candida species. It also concerns levels of antifungal resistance, notably in C. auris . The findings underscore the importance of local epidemiological surveillance and tailored treatment strategies to improve outcomes and mitigate the spread of multidrug-resistant Candida species. Future research should focus on molecular resistance mechanisms and optimizing therapeutic approaches to address this growing public health concern.

El abordaje de los desafíos ecológicos y ambientales en la actualidad requiere que la población de los diversos entornos colombianos, pueda desplegar una conciencia ambiental por medio de la ejecución de acciones sostenibles. El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar las estrategias promotoras de una conciencia ambiental y acción sostenible entre los estudiantes, integrando los principios ecológicos en los currículos escolares en todas las disciplinas, la formación continua de los docentes en educación ambiental y el desarrollo de proyectos escolares sostenibles. El análisis de diversas fuentes mediante la investigación documental descriptiva, dejó ver la necesidad de aplicar una educación ambiental que no sólo trasmita conocimientos teóricos, sino que permita el fomento de prácticas sostenibles en la vida diaria tanto de las comunidades escolares como en la sociedad en general. La integración de la educación ambiental en todas las disciplinas del currículo escolar, permite a los estudiantes la comprensión e importancia de la sostenibilidad en diversos contextos como el escolar, cultural y social, sin discriminación de espacios en las comunidades. En este sentido los profesionales de la docencia requieren estar capacitados y motivados para impartir la educación ambiental con efectividad, mediante su participación en programas de formación continua, talleres especializados que le suministren las estrategias y herramientas indispensables aplicables en las actividades escolares con dinamismo y relevancia. Los proyectos escolares deben estar dirigidos hacia la creación de huertos escolares, programas de reciclaje, gestión de residuos, campañas de concienciación que promuevan la transformación de los centros educativos en laboratorios vivos ambientales, donde la comunidad escolar aplique lo aprendido en educación ambiental, inspirándolos a convertirse en agentes de cambios en sus comunidades, desempeñando un papel decisivo en la promoción de la conciencia ambiental, la sostenibilidad y preservación del medio ambiente para futuras generaciones en el contexto colombiano.
INTELIGENCIA ESPIRITUAL ANTE LA PÉRDIDA DE VALORES Y LA CONDICIÓN HUMANA DE LOS ESTUDIANTES EN LAS INSTITUCIONES EDUCATIVAS DE FRONTERA
Authors: Yudi Mirley Hernández Ortiz  
Published: October 2024

El artículo tiene como propósito argumentar y reflexionar sobre la importancia de enseñar a partir de la inteligencia espiritual como una forma de rescatar los valores humanos ante un mundo colmado de superficialidad que atenta contra la condición humana. Una realidad que se hace sentir en las instituciones educativas oficiales la zona frontera de Colombia. Desde esta perspectiva, la metodología adoptada se centra en el enfoque cualitativo y la técnica de la revisión documental con el apoyo de tesis, artículos, libros y cualquier otro texto (físico o digital), con pertinencia sobre el tema que pueda contribuir con el soporte teórico conceptual. Las consideraciones finales establecen la presunción de un desconocimiento por parte de los docentes que laboran en las instituciones educativas de la frontera con respecto a la inteligencia espiritual. Colombia ocupa la posición N° 99 entre los 180 países más corruptos del mundo; además una historia marcada por la violencia y la guerra que se convierten en indicadores negativos para los niños y jóvenes. El hecho de no impulsar la inteligencia espiritual desde cada espacio de aprendizaje, la falta de promoción de valores familiares, sociales y morales está conllevando a un deterioro de la condición humana.

Published: October 2024

Landslides can cause severe damage to infrastructure and human life, making early detection and warning systems critical for mitigating their impact. In this study, we propose a machine learning approach for landslide detection using remote sensing data and topographical features. We evaluate the performance of several machine learning algorithms, including Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, AdaBoost, Neural Network, SGD, kNN, and SVM, on a dataset of remote sensing images and topographical features from the Sikkim region in Malaysia. The results show that the SVM algorithm outperforms the other algorithms with an accuracy of 96.7% and a F1 score of 0.97. The study demonstrates the potential of machine learning algorithms for landslide detection, which can help improve early warning systems and reduce the impact of landslides.
