Associations between Dental Anxiety Levels, Self-Reported Oral Health, Previous Unpleasant Dental Experiences, and Behavioural Reactions in Dental Settings: An Adult E-Survey
Authors: Peric Ruzica , Tadin Antonija 
Published: August 2024

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dental anxiety, its association with self-reported oral health, and sociodemographic factors in adults that are critical for improving oral health and well-being. Materials and Methods: An online survey was conducted via social media, with 1551 adults (76.5% women, 23.5% men) participating nationwide. Data collected included demographic data, Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) scores, and associations between dental anxiety, negative experiences, and self-reported oral health. The analysis included psychophysiological, behavioural, and emotional responses and avoidance of dental visits, using descriptive and generalised linear regression models. Results: This study found that the mean score of the MDAS was 9.70 ± 5.11 out of 25, 19.1% of the participants reported no dental anxiety, and 7.8% suffered from dental phobia. Gender, age, and socioeconomic status had no significant effect on the prevalence of anxiety. Although more than half of the participants reported negative dental experiences, particularly in childhood, anxiety levels were unaffected. However, those who rated their oral health as excellent or very good had lower anxiety scores (p = 0.008, p = 0.024). Among the dental procedures, oral surgery (58.7%) and prosthetic (restorative) dental treatments (15.2%) caused the most anxiety. Avoidance behaviour correlated with increased anxiety (p ≤ 0.001), as did postponing dental visits until severe pain occurred (p = 0.011). Conclusions: These results emphasise the significant prevalence of dental anxiety in adults, particularly for surgical procedures and drilling, posing challenges in patient management. Tailored strategies are essential to reduce anxiety, improve patient well-being, and optimise dental service delivery and treatment efficacy.

Background: Periplocae Cortex (PC), Acanthopanacis Cortex (AC), and Lycii Cortex (LC), as traditional Chinese medicines, are all dried root bark, presented in a roll, light and brittle, easy to break, have a fragrant scent, etc. Due to their similar appearances, it is tough to distinguish them, and they are often confused and adulterated in markets and clinical applications. To realize the identification and quality control of three herbs, in this paper, Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry Expression (UHPLC-QTOF-MSE) combined with chemometric analysis was used to explore the different chemical compositions. Methods: LC, AC, and PC were analyzed by UHPLC-QTOF-MSE, and the quantized MS data combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) were used to explore the different chemical compositions with Variable Importance Projection (VIP) > 1.0. Further, the different chemical compositions were identified according to the chemical standard substances, related literature, and databases. Results: AC, PC, and LC can be obviously distinguished in PCA and PLS-DA analysis with the VIP of 2661 ions > 1.0. We preliminarily identified 17 differential chemical constituents in AC, PC, and LC with significant differences (p < 0.01) and VIP > 1.0; for example, Lycium B and Periploside H2 are LC and PC’s proprietary ingredients, respectively, and 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, Periplocoside C, and 3,5-Di-O-caffeoylquinic acid are the shared components of the three herbs. Conclusions: UHPLC-QTOF-MSE combined with chemometric analysis is conducive to exploring the differential chemical compositions of three herbs. Moreover, the proprietary ingredients, Lycium B (LC) and Periploside H2 (PC), are beneficial in strengthening the quality control of AC, PC, and LC. In addition, limits on the content of shared components can be set to enhance the quality control of LC, PC, and AC.

One of the most effective means of increasing urban green areas is the establishment of roof gardens. They have many positive properties and ecological functions, such as filling empty spaces with plants, protecting buildings, dust retention and air cleaning. In the case of extensive constructions, mostly Sedum species are used, planted as carpet-like “grass” sods or by installing modular units as plugs; however, with the use of other plant genera, the efficiency of ecological services could be increased by expanding the diversity. Festuca taxa have good drought resistance, and these plants tolerate temperature alterations well. Their application would increase the biodiversity, quality and decorative value of roof gardens. Experiments were carried out on nursery benches imitating a roof garden, with the use of modular elements intended for Sedum species, which facilitate the establishment of green roofs. In our trial, varieties of two European native species, Festuca glauca Vill. ‘Uchte’ and F. amethystina L. ‘Walberla’, were investigated. In order to find and determine the differences between the cultivars and the effects of the media (leaf mold and rhyolite tuff), we drew inferences after morphological (height, circumference, root weight, fresh and dry weight) and physiological tests (peroxidase and proline enzyme activity). We concluded that F. glauca ‘Uchte’ is recommended for roof garden conditions, planted in modular elements. Although the specimens were smaller in the medium containing fewer organic components than in the version with larger amounts, they were less exposed to the effects of drought stress. This can be a key factor for survival in extreme roof gardens or even urban conditions for all plants.

Published: August 2024

The occurrence of space weather events, notably geomagnetic storms driven by various solar wind structures, can significantly alter Earth’s electromagnetic environment. In this study, we examined the interplanetary origins and statistical distribution of 384 geomagnetic storms (Dstmin ≤ −50 nT) that occurred from September 1996 to December 2023. We statistically analyzed the correlations between storm intensity and solar wind parameters (SWPs) across different subsets. The results indicate that (1) the solar activity level, indicated by the sunspot number (SSN), and the number of geomagnetic storms during the first four years of the 25th solar cycle were intermediate, compared to the first four years of the 23rd and 24th solar cycles. Specifically, ICME-related structures caused 80% of the strong storms (Dstmin ≤ −100 nT) and 34% of the moderate storms (−100 nT < Dstmin ≤ −50 nT) from 2020 to 2023. (2) The storm intensity correlated with the peak and/or time-integral values of the southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF Bs), the dawn–dusk electric field (Ey), the Akasofu’s function (ε), and dynamic pressure (Psw) to varying extents. Strong storms exhibited higher correlation levels than moderate ones and ICME-related storms showed larger correlation levels compared to those driven by other sources. (3) Compared with the storms from 1996-09 to 2000-08, the storms that occurred from 2020 to 2023 had lower correlations with the peak values of the IMF Bs and Ey but higher correlations with the peak value of ε and the time-integral values of the IMF Bs, Ey, Psw, and ε. (4) Among the 174 events that featured continuous southward IMF during the storm’s main phase, the duration of southward IMF during about 66.7% of moderate storms and 51.5% of strong storms were less than 13 h. Continuous southward IMF resulted in more direct and efficient energy coupling, enhancing the correlation between the peak values of SWPs and storm intensity but weakening the relationships with the time-integral values of SWPs. Notably, when the southward IMF persisted for a longer duration (e.g., ∆t > 13 h), the continuous energy input further enhanced correlations with both peak and integral values of SWPs, leading to stronger overall correlations with storm intensity. This analysis sheds light on the intricate relationships between geomagnetic storms and their solar wind drivers, emphasizing the significant influence of ICME-related structures and the duration of southward IMF on storm intensity.

“Koji” is one of the most well-known probiotic microorganisms in Japan that contribute to the maintenance of human health. Although the beneficial effects of some probiotics on ulcer healing have been demonstrated, there have been no reports on the wound healing effects of koji to date. In the present study, we investigated the effects of “cha-koji”, green tea leaves fermented with Aspergillus luchuensis, on cutaneous wound healing, using a linear incision wound mouse model. Topical application of autoclave-sterilized cha-koji suspension on the dorsal incision wound area healed the wound significantly faster and, notably, with less scarring than did the green tea or the control distilled water treatment. Further in vitro experiments revealed that the accelerated effects of cha-koji could be attributed to its increased anti-bacterial activity, enhanced epidermal cell proliferation and migration, augmented expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine transforming growth factor-β1, reduced expression of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 in macrophages, and decreased endoplasmic reticulum stress. In addition, we conducted a skin sensitizing potential test, which revealed that cha-koji had no adverse effects that posed a sensitizing risk. Thus, cha-koji may have a potent therapeutic effect on cutaneous wound healing, opening up a new avenue for its clinical application as a medical aid.

Published: August 2024

Background & objective: Hypertension is one of the serious complications observed during intubation as well as during awakening from general anesthesia (GA) and extubation. There have been very limited studies reporting the use of Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) in craniotomies, although its use has been documented to be associated with less frequency of hypertension compared to endotracheal intubation. We assessed the incidence of emergence hypertension and hemodynamic stability when using Ambu Aura-i intubating LMA compared to the endotracheal tube (ETT) for ventilating craniotomy patients undergoing supratentorial brain tumor surgeries.
Methodology: One hundred and twenty patients participated in this randomized controlled study and were assigned to two groups, the LMA group in which the Ambu Aura-i was used for airway management for GA, and the ETT group in which the ETT were used. The incidence of hypertension on airway device insertion, emergence hypertension and postoperative complications, including cough, sore throat, and hoarseness, were recorded.
Results: The LMA group showed a lower incidence of emergence hypertension when compared to the ETT group (48.3% vs 81.7% respectively; P ˂ 0.05). LMA was associated with a lower heart rate (HR), and fewer patients required vasoactive agents during emergence. Moreover, the LMA group expressed a decreased incidence of hypertension with insertion compared to the ETT group (1.7% versus 18.3% respectively; P ˂ 0.05), besides a lower incidence of postoperative cough, sore throat, and hoarseness.
Conclusion: The use of Ambu Aura-i intubating LMA for ventilating craniotomy patients undergoing supratentorial brain tumor surgeries showed a lower incidence of emergence hypertension, stable hemodynamics during induction and emergence of anesthesia, and less postoperative complications compared to endotracheal intubation.

Published: August 2024

Many companies employ strategies to avoid tax liabilities by reducing their tax burden and minimizing their tax liabilities. Weaknesses in tax regulations can be used by these companies to offload their tax liabilities. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of factors such as CEO tenure, the existence of women on the board, and the practice of accounting conservatism on tax avoidance. This research investigates companies within the property and real estate sector that are registered on the IDX between 2021-2023. A quantitative approach was employed in this study, utilizing secondary data from company annual reports retrieved from the IDX website and the company's official website. The research adopted purposive sampling for selecting 69 observations. Data processing was carried out using the SPSS 25.0 application. This study found that neither CEO tenure nor the existence of female directors had a significant impact on tax avoidance. However, conservative accounting practices are shown to have a positive and significant impact on tax avoidance.
Public interest statements
These findings can be utilized by companies in two ways. First, when recruiting leadership, experience or gender diversity alone may not be the strongest indicators to minimize the tax burden. Secondly, the results of this study suggest that tax authorities may need to be more vigilant and selective in their supervision to ensure all taxpayers comply with their tax obligations.

Published: August 2024

Before the implementation of online learning, students graphed functions on paper using either a ballpen or pencil. However, online learning materials including online graphing calculators were being encouraged to be used since the modality had shifted into online learning. DESMOS is one of the online learning materials that can be used in graphing functions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of DESMOS as a graphing tool for teachers and students together with the benefits of this software together with the perceptions towards it. The study was conducted with 23 Grade 11 students taking up Accountancy and Business Management during the classes of Statistics and Probability. The research design used was mixed consisting of comparative statistical techniques and narrative analysis. The interventions involving DESMOS were done virtually through Google Meet. Their skills before and after the interventions involving DESMOS were compared and based on the statistical aspect, there was a significant difference between the skills before and after the interventions with a t-statistical value of -3.78, which was lower than the critical value of -2.074. Besides, the students were able to collaborate in terms of tasks and reflect on what they had learned in DESMOS, and they were able to see DESMOS as an accessible, convenient, and effective graphing tool. DESMOS should be widely used as a teaching tool in graphing functions so students will be able to appreciate technology with mathematics since people are now living in the era of technology.
