Infrastructure as a service adoption model for South African universities using thematic analysis
Authors: Moeti Michael N. 
Published: August 2024

Background: South African universities are dealing with concerning socio-economic issues and budgetary limits that affect university operations negatively. It is no longer viable for most universities to purchase and maintain information technology (IT) infrastructure systems while also keeping up with the ever-changing technology across the world.Objectives: The aim of this article is to explore the benefits that come with infrastructure as a service (IaaS), as compared to the on-premises model that is currently used by most South African universities.Method: This article adopts both transaction cost theory (TCT) and diffusion of innovation theory (DOI) as the underpinning theories. The interpretivist paradigm was applied to gain a comprehensive understanding of how university management perceives IaaS adoption.Results: The results introduce three new and critical factors that need to be considered by university managers whenever they want to move their on-premises IT model to cloud IaaS: trust, security and attitude.Conclusion: The research finds that IaaS offers advantages in scalability, flexibility, accessibility and on-demand deployment. These findings underscore the importance of addressing barriers to IaaS adoption within the specific context of South African universities.Contribution: The findings of this article add to the cloud computing literature, by presenting a new model that IT decision-makers can utilise when considering moving their on-premises IT infrastructure to IaaS in South African universities. The article recommends that future research could expand the number of universities from which data are collected.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background:
Unstable trochanteric fractures include posteromedial comminution, reverse oblique pattern, lateral wall fracture and subtrochanteric extension. Unstable trochanteric fractures usually can be treated by anatomical reduction with the use of a sliding hip screw or cephalomedullary nail. DHS is cost-effective and user-friendly whereas PFN, though biomechanically superior, is a relatively new entrant. Thus this comparative study helped us to understand the management of unstable trochanteric fractures in terms of surgical technique and evaluate the functional outcomes after fixation with PFN and DHS.

Aims and Objectives:
To compare the functional outcome, safety and effectiveness of dynamic hip screw plate (DHS) and proximal femoral nail (PFN) fixation in the management of unstable trochanteric fractures of femur.

Materials and Methods:
The study was an observational longitudinal follow up comparative study. 50 adult patients of age group 40 to 80 years having unstable trochanteric fractures of femur treated with either DHS plate or PFN were included in the study. 27 such patients were operated with DHS whereas 23 patients were operated with PFN. Modified Harris hip score, duration of hospitalisation, presence or absence of abduction lurch, intraoperative blood loss and procedure time and time to independent mobility were compared between the two groups during postoperative follow up.

Results:
Patients treated with PFN had better outcome than DHS in terms of shorter duration of hospitalisation, early mobilization in terms of early pain-free full weight bearing, lesser intraoperative blood loss, shorter procedure time and better functional result on the basis of modified Harris hip score at final follow up. But, PFN fixation was associated with more abduction lurch compared to DHS.

Conclusion:
Thus, PFN proved to be a better implant than DHS in the management of unstable trochanteric fractures of femur.
New Solution in the Treatment of Children with Class II Malocclusion: Biblock Appliance
Authors: Çakmak B , Rübendiz M 
Published: August 2024

Background:
A new design, the Biblock appliance, was developed for the functional treatment of Class II malocclusions.

Aim:
To compare the effects of Biblock appliance (BA) and Activator appliance (AA) on the skeleton, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue in Class II malocclusions.

Methods:
Thirty-five patients with mandibular retrognathia caused by skeletal Class II malocclusion and normodivergent growth pattern were included in this study. After selecting the BA group (n = 17, 8 boys and 9 girls, mean age = 12.08 ± 0.37 years), we selected the active control group treated with AA (n = 18, 9 boys and 9 girls, mean age = 12.3 ± 0.27 years), which matched the BA group’s development and gender. All patients were between PP2 = DP3u periods according to hand–wrist maturation. Cephalometric variables related to the skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue were measured.

Results:
Treatment duration was 18.17 ± 1.45 months with BA and 16.92 ± 1.09 months with AA. Skeletal Class II malocclusion improved significantly in both groups. In the compared groups, the increase in ANS-Me was significantly higher in the AA group (P < 0.05). The Cd⊥SN and S-Cd increase in the compared groups was significantly higher in the BA group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in measurements between the groups in skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue measurements (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
The effects of AA, an appliance accepted by the orthodontic community, and BA, a new design, on the skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue were similar.
Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Bipolar and Monopolar Transurethral Prostate Resection in Geriatric Patients
Authors: Kervancioglu E , Hasirci E , Salgur F , Cicek Z , Doruk H 
Published: August 2024

Background:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia unresponsive to medical treatment is an important problem for elderly patients. Although the gold standard surgical treatment is monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (MTURP), postoperative complications are still a concern.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to determine which transurethral prostate resection (TURP) methods are more effective and safer in elderly patients.

Methods:
Patients who underwent TURP in our clinic between 2012 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively and divided into three groups according to their ages. Patients were treated with MTURP (n = 169) and bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (BTURP) (n = 1152). Pre- and post-operative data for age groups were compared according to TURP methods.

Results:
The resection speed in the BTURP method was statistically significantly faster in groups 2 and 3 (P < 0.05). Although not statistically significant (P > 0.05), there was a numerically smaller decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) value in group 2 and a numerically greater decrease in post-voiding residual (PVR) volume in groups 1 and 3 in the BTURP method. The increase in maximum urine flow (Qmax) was significantly higher only in group 2 (P = 0.032), but it was numerically higher in all groups in the BTURP method.

Conclusion:
The results of this study showed that BTURP was at least as effective and safe as MTURP in geriatric patients and also better in terms of Hb decrease, resection speed, Qmax increase, and PVR volume decrease.
The use of modified nickel–titanium rotary file for preparing staging platform to retrieve instrument fragments from narrow and curved canal
Authors: Alhwieti Abdulrhman Ateq , Bahammam Laila Ahmed 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Staging platform (SP) uses a modified Gates Glidden (GG) to help retrieve separated instruments deep in the root canal. However, GG drills may cause damage or severe dentin loss. A 46-year-old male patient was referred to the endodontic postgraduate clinics complaining of pain on biting related to the mandibular right second molar (#47). The preoperative periapical radiograph of #47 showed a previously initiated root canal treatment with an approximately 8-mm separated instrument in the apical third of a curved mesiolingual canal. A nickel–titanium (NiTi) rotary file size 25/0.04 was flattened with a carbide bur. The modified file was then used to create a centered SP. After SP was achieved, an ultrasonic tip was used at lower power for the trephination of dentin. The fragment became loose, and retrieval was achieved. The use of a modified NiTi rotary file presented a safe and alternative option to establish SP for instrument retrieval instead of using GG drills.
Methodological quality of clinical research in endodontics: A cross-sectional comparison between open access and traditional subscription-based journals
Authors: Mirdad Lujain H. , Zahran Shatha S. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Open access (OA) publishing provides the benefits of increased visibility, accessibility, and impact of research findings. Despite the rapidly growing number of OA journals in dentistry, there are rising concerns about their quality. Our aim is to evaluate the methodological quality of clinical endodontic studies published in OA journals and to compare them to traditional subscription (TS) journals from January 2010 to December 2022.

Materials and Methods:
Clinical endodontic studies published in four journals, two from OA and two from TS categories were included in this review. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool for randomized trials and the methodological index for nonrandomized studies instrument for nonrandomized studies. Data were analyzed with SPSS, utilizing independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for statistical comparisons.

Results:
A total of 80 articles were included, 40 from each OA and TS journals. The majority of research articles originated from Asia (48.7%) and were primarily focused on endodontic outcomes (47.5%). A significant difference in methodological quality was noted between TS and OA journals (t-test, P = 0.022). TS journals exhibited a higher mean methodological quality score of 1.64 (±0.30) compared to 1.49 (±0.27) of OA journals. Variance in methodological quality scores among journals was also statistically significant (ANOVA, P = 0.002).

Conclusion:
Clinical studies published in TS journals had higher methodological quality compared to those published in OA journals. Enhancements in peer review may be necessary to ensure appropriate methodological quality in OA publications in endodontics.

The book of Injl is one of the parts of the New Testament, consisting of four books, namely Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The gospel is the foundation for carrying out educational actions for the world in which Jesus Christ has given instructions, methods, and ways of implementation. The Gospel usually means The news about God's saving activity in Jesus Christ or the news that conveys the story of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection with the aim of saving His beloved mankind. In an effort to trace this intent, qualitative-descriptive research methods are used. The result obtained is that the purpose of the PAK based on the gospel is to know that God takes the initiative in saving the humanity he loves.

The criminal act of corruption not only harms state finances, but also constitutes a violation of the social and economic rights of society at large, so that the criminal act of corruption needs to be classified as a crime whose eradication must be carried out in an extraordinary manner, to further guarantee legal certainty, avoid diversity of legal interpretations and providing protection for the social and economic rights of the community, as well as fair treatment in eradicating criminal acts of corruption. The statutory regulations that regulate criminal acts of corruption are Law no. 28 of 1999 concerning the Administration of a State that is Clean and Free from KKN, Law no. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law no. 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes, Law no. 30 of 2002 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission, and finally with the ratification of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, 2003 (United Nations Convention Against Corruption, 2003) through Law no. 7 of 2006. The theories used to support the preparation of this book are the Theory of the Rule of Law, the Hierarchy Theory of Legal Norms, the Theory of Authority, the Concept of Corruption and Corruption Crimes and the Concept of Reverse Evidence. The approaches used in preparing this book are: statutory approach, conceptual research approach, case approach. Legal Materials use primary legal materials, in the form of secondary law and other legal materials. Primary legal materials include court decisions that have permanent legal force and laws related to corruption. Secondary legal materials are books, unpublished scientific works, journals and newspapers. Other legal materials are internet sites regulating the reverse evidence system in the provisions of Article 12B of Law Number 20 of 2001, Articles 37, 37A and 38B of Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001 and the Criminal Procedure Code. is limited or balanced, and uses a negative proof system according to law (negatief wettelijk overtuiging). The Public Prosecutor is still obliged to prove his charges. In the future, it is necessary to carry out an evaluation of the regulation of Corruption Crimes, it is necessary to strictly regulate the substance of the legal system of reverse evidence so that its application can be implemented effectively and is not just a rule contained in the norms.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study was designed to determine the opportunities available for the ministry of health as the custodian of reproductive health programs on mitigating teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in Kenya.
Methodology: This was an analytical cross-sectional study that triangulated various sampling techniques. Based on unmitigated increase number of school pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, the study obtained information on opportunities available to introduce and implement reproductive health program from the specialists in the ministries of health and education using Focus Group Discussions, Key Informant interviews and questionnaires techniques. A total of 16 respondents was realized using the standard saturation point method. Multistage followed by cluster sampling techniques were used to identify selected urban towns. A sample size of 174 school-female teenage participants female were tested for pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in the eight urban areas. Analysis of data was done by use of descriptive statistics, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and content analysis.
Findings: The study found out that the ministry of health through the National Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy and its strategic plans had not taken up the opportunity to perform its role of supporting re-entry policy and reproductive health education in schools. Although the Ministry of health, through its established organs had a role to play in mitigating Teenage Pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted infections, it had not put structures in place for its implementation in schools.
Unique contribution to Theory, practice and Policy: The ministry of health needs to support school-entry policy as part of its mandate. Successful programs and policies require the involvement of all stakeholders in designing, developing and implementing and must be inclusive and well resource supported. The findings of this study need to be appraised by the policy makers and implementers for fresh and improved interventions.
