Analysis of total lip score system and total groove score for gender identification: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Alqarni Abdullah 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background:
Endless ink and pixel space have been spent to validate the use of cheiloscopy classification systems in the field of identification. It is becoming evident that lip-print patterns may provide indications about an individual’s gender, race, occupation, habits, blood type, and paternity. Over the course of time, much data have been collected on a substantial population in this field. In the present study, we strive to see how well a noble total lip scoring (TLS) system works in identifying a person’s gender among the College of Dentistry students. We also quantified the total groove score (TGS) and compared it with each quadrant for better authentication of the set study design.

Materials and Method:
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 60 dental students (30 males and 30 females), with an age range of 18–30 years. Lip prints were recorded using the writing pad method and subsequently digitalized by capturing the images using Adobe Photoshop CS 6 Extended Version, counted and summed up, quadrant-wise, in both upper and lower lips. The TLS and TGS between males and females were statistically calculated using the Jamovi project.

Results:
The mean value for TLS for males (n = 402; SD ± 92.1) is higher than that for females (n = 348; SD ± 86.1). The correlation matrix applying a non-parametric test for non-continuous data using Spearman’s ratio inferred a statistically significant correlation (-0.354) with a P-value of 0.005 for TLS, whereas a correlation (-0.162) of TGS with gender was not so significant with a P-value of 0.217.

Conclusion:
Our study proved the uniqueness of applying TLS as a novel approach to gender identification. The study revealed that males had a statistically higher lip score than females.

Clinical Significance/Future Implications:
Being unique, our study inferred the importance of TLS, which needs to be explored in detail for applying, evaluating, and validating its accuracy in forensic research that can help for errorless investigations as full-proof evidence in court.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a common immune-mediated blistering disorder with predominant skin involvement and occasionally oral manifestations. Vesiculobullous lesions of the oral mucosa present with similar clinical features, and hence arriving at a clinical diagnosis is aided by a valuable chairside investigation, exfoliative cytology. Cytology done in the present case ruled out pemphigus because of the absence of Tzanck cells in the smear. Biopsy and direct immunofluorescence further confirmed the diagnosis of BP. Treatment initiated with systemic steroids and immunomodulators, along with oral topical application of triamcinolone acetonide resulted in complete remission in 2 months. This case report highlights the role of cytology in the diagnosis of vesiculobullous lesions and management protocol for BP patients presenting with simultaneous skin and oral lesions.

Published: July 2024

In language learning, the ability to communicate orally plays a vital role, enabling individuals to interact and understand others in different social situations. Oral communication in language learning is crucial due to its relevance in daily interactions and academic endeavors. The research aims to investigate EFL students' perceptions on using TikTok as a learning tool, particularly its impact on speaking abilities. The study explores the effectiveness of TikTok in enhancing speaking proficiency. Through a descriptive qualitative methodology, the study examines the perspectives of EFL students at a school in Jakarta, Indonesia, regarding the use of TikTok for language learning. Purposive sampling was employed to select participants who utilize TikTok for their English language learning. Data collection involved observation and interviews to gain insights into students' experiences and perceptions. Findings reveal diverse viewpoints among students regarding the utility of TikTok for English language learning, encompassing both positive and negative opinions. While TikTok offers opportunities for exposure to authentic language and engagement with native speakers, challenges such as accuracy and fluency are noted. Despite these challenges, TikTok is recognized as a potential platform for improving speaking skills due to its accessibility and engaging content. This research provides valuable insights into the perceptions of EFL students regarding TikTok's role in language learning. By addressing the research question of students' perceptions of TikTok's effectiveness in English language teaching, the study contributes to understanding the potential of social media platforms like TikTok as supplementary tools for language learning.
INFLATION AND STANDARD OF LIVING IN NIGERIA
Authors: Ogbebor Peter , Oguntodu James , Oyinloye Paul 
Published: July 2024

Purpose: Standard of living is very germane to every economy. It gives a broad view of how the economy is fairing on a global scale. If an individual cannot get required basic necessities due to low purchasing power, his/her marginal propensity to consume (MPC) rises which makes it more difficult for the individual to live comfortably hence the standard of living dips. Several researches have been carried out but the standard of living still remains abysmally low. From empirical review, we find that several countries in sub-Sahara Africa, Nigeria inclusive suffers from low standard of living. The case of Nigeria being evidently severe as Nigeria has over 91 million people living in abject poverty.
Methodology: Time series data on inflation rate and standard of living proxied by the Human Development Index (HDI) between 1998 and 2017 was used for this research. Augmented Dickey Fuller and Phillip-Perron unit root tests were used to test for stationarity of the data. Based on findings, the Auto Regressive Distributed Lagged (ARDL) model was adopted for inferential analyses. Descriptive statistics employed include skewness, kurtosis, Jarque-Bera test and BreuchPagan-Godfrey serial correlation LM test, Breuch-Pagan test for heteroscedasticity and the Durbin-Watson test.
Results: Results indicated that there exists a long-run relationship between inflation and standard of living. Inflation exhibited a negative and significant effect with a coefficient of -0.034 against a P-value of 0.017 which implied that a unit increase in inflation brings about 0.034unit decrease in standard of living over the period of study.
Contributions to Theory, Policy and Practice: Based on the findings we recommend that a proper blend of fiscal and monetary policies should be deployed to improve the standard of living of Nigerians.

“No One to Witness and Adjust”: The Academy Still in Peril
Authors: Spahr Juliana 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This article is a response to Charles Bernstein’s “The Academy in Peril,” the essay in which he first uses the term “official verse culture.” Using Williams’s convoluted history with leftist magazines in the 1930s and 1940s as an example, it both agrees with Bernstein about their being an official verse and also points to how verse that is often unofficial is also official. It concludes with the author reflecting on poetry’s embeddedness in higher education and what that means for the future.
Walk the walk, slowly and carefully when centering women and survivors in the Perpetrator Work of Coercive Control: In conversation with Jo Todd
Authors: Sánchez Hernández Mónica 
Published: July 2024

With decades of knowledge within the domestic abuse sector, Jo Todd is the leader of one of the UK’s most respected organisations in the Work With Perpetrators sector: Respect. Established as a membership organisation, Respect sums more than 23 years of promoting “safe, effective work with perpetrators, male victims and young people who use violence” with the aim of tackling domestic abuse and centering the victim-survivor experience.Recently, Jo Todd was awarded with the “Commander of the British Empire” (CBE) medal for her highly-distinguished, innovative contribution around services to victims of domestic abuse. The award though, has not removed any humility from Jo. In early September, I happily engaged in a rich conversation with a strong, grounded woman that I am sure more than one can find inspiration from. For this special issue, our discussion delved into the role and actuality of work with perpetrators and coercive control, highlighting the significance for the victims-survivors, the meanings of justice regarding coercive control and the implications of its criminalisation. Finally, we ended our conversation imagining the dreamt, but also the real, future of the issue.Mónica Sánchez Hernández:Thank you very much Jo for joining me today to talk about your experience and your thoughts about coercive control. You must be really proud of your recent award. Regardless of any colonial/imperial connotations that the CBE medal might have, it must be good to have your work acknowledged — especially in the current times.Well, I’d like to begin the interview by asking you what triggered your interest to move from supporting survivors to the “dark side” of working with perpetrators. Is there any particular moment, any experience that you remember?
Male entrapment and its charm warrant: A systematic review characterising male entrapment behaviours of domestic abuse, how they are described and researched
Authors: Moore Nikki , Branney Peter , Edwards Lisa 
Published: July 2024

Contributions:Oluyemisi OjofeitmiBackground:Research and policy traditionally focus on female victim-survivors of domestic abuse. Therefore, behaviour change approaches for male perpetrators of abuse look at the same, rather than focusing on the root cause of the problem — men who use abusive behaviours. This systematic review aimed to identify studies that characterise entrapment behaviours and how male perpetrators describe those behaviours.Method:The review used a systematic meta-analysis design, conducting an electronic search via databases with a two-stage strategy employed to locate literature and pinpoint key themes and concepts to explore coercive control and male entrapment behaviours of domestic abuse. The protocol was pre-registered on PROSPERO. Nine articles were identified within the review as being of interest, and this paper provides a narrative synthesis which details the results of the systematic review.Results:The narrative synthesis identified unities between some articles, which were labelled as commonalities. There are four commonalities: male behaviour, coercive control, charm and charisma and power. Critically the review only returned one article directly examining male behaviours of entrapment, with the findings still valid a decade later, but shows more research needs to be built upon this.Conclusion:This review showed that male behaviour within domestic abuse is chronically under-researched, and behaviours utilised by male perpetrators of abuse to entrap and coercively control a female partner need further investigation, but that charm and power is an area of interest.

The procedural form of seizure medical documents during consideration of iatrogenic crime report
Authors: Ишмухаметова Е.Ш. 
Published: July 2024

В статье рассмотрены вопросы законодательного урегулирования, следственно-судебная практика и позиция высших судов РФ о порядке получения следователем медицинских документов в ходе рассмотрения сообщения о ятрогенном преступлении. Отсутствие регламентированного порядка изъятия документов до возбуждения уголовного дела порождает процессуальные споры и различные подходы к этому мероприятию. Дополнительная сложность обусловлена наличием в таких документах охраняемой законом медицинской тайны, что на стадии расследования уголовного дела обязывает следователя получать судебное разрешение на производство выемки. Вместе с тем законодательство об охране здоровья предусматривает право третьих лиц получать меддокументы с согласия их владельца, а следователя – по запросу в ходе расследования дела. По мнению автора, следует признать законным и не нарушающим права и интересы участников процесса получение документов на основании запроса при наличии письменного согласия пациента, а равно производство выемки меддокументов у заявителя на основании постановления следователя.
The article discusses the issues of legislative regulation, investigative and judicial practice and the position of the supreme courts of the Russian Federation on the procedure for seizure medical documents by an investigator during consideration of iatrogenic crime report. The absence of a regulated procedure for the seizure of documents before the initiation of a criminal case generates procedural disputes and various approaches to this action. These documents also contains the legally protected medical secrecy that causes additional problems, because it obliges the investigator to take a court permit for the seizure during the investigation phase. At the same time, according to the legislation on health people can receive medical documents with the permission of their owner and the investigator have the right to make a request for such documents during the investigation. The author thinks it is legal to take medical documents with the investigator’s request if you have the written permission of the patient. It is also acceptable to seize medical documents from the patient without court order.
