Authors: Chia YX , Li KC , Zwirner J , Cooper P , Mei ML , Ekambaram M 
Published: July 2024

SUMMARY

Objective:
To investigate the effect of decontamination procedures on the microshear bond strength (μSBS) of blood-contaminated resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) bonded to resin composite (RC).

Methods:
Eighty RMGIC disc specimens were allocated into 5 groups (n=16). All groups except Group 2 were contaminated with blood. Group 1 had no decontamination procedure, Group 3 was decontaminated by rinsing, Group 4 was decontaminated by 34% phosphoric acid etching, and Group 5 was decontaminated by 5% sodium hypochlorite application. RMGIC specimens were subsequently bonded with RC using a universal adhesive in self-etch mode. μSBS tests were conducted using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Failure mode analysis was conducted on RMGIC fracture surfaces under a scanning electron microscope.

Results:
μSBS results indicated that Group 4 had the highest mean μSBS value of 6.22 ± 2.14 MPa, while Group 1 had the lowest mean μSBS value of 3.53 ±1.67 MPa. Significant differences were observed in the μSBS of Group 2 with no contamination (p=0.023) and Group 4 with decontamination by phosphoric acid-etching (p=0.003) when compared to Group 1 with blood contamination. No statistically significant differences (p&gt;0.05) were observed between all other groups’ μSBS. For all groups, the predominant mode of failure was adhesive failure between the RMGIC-RC interface, with a few mixed failures in RMGIC for Groups 2-5.

Conclusions:
Blood contamination before adhesive application significantly reduced the μSBS between RMGIC and RC. Phosphoric acid etching was the most effective blood decontamination procedure to improve the μSBS.

Published: July 2024

SUMMARY

Objective:
Evaluate the impact of adjustment procedures — cut-out-rescan (COR) and data exchange by over-scanning (DEOS) techniques — through CAD/CAM software on the marginal fit outcome of ceramic crowns.

Methods and Materials:
Twenty-eight de-identified teeth were adapted in a mandibular typodont set. Tooth #19 was prepared for a lithium disilicate crown and seven groups, G0 to G6 (n=10), were created based on the rescanned areas (mesial and/or buccal) on the typodont using an intraoral scanner through COR or DEOS techniques. A digital workflow was used to design and mill 70 crowns according to the groups. Each crown was temporarily cemented on tooth #19 and scanned with micro-computed tomography to measure the marginal fit. The data were analyzed statistically by the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney test to compare the groups pairwise as a post-hoc (α=0.05).

Results:
Statistically significant differences were found for vertical misfit (μm) between the groups for Marginal Gap Buccal (MGB) and Marginal Gap Mesial (MGM) (p=0.003 and p=0.029, respectively). No significant difference was found for Finish Line Buccal (FLB) and Finish Line Mesial (FLM) (p=0.062 and p=0.092, respectively). G3 (COR buccal and mesial) had the highest MGB (57.75 μm), statistically different from all other groups. G4 (DEOS buccal) (41.60 μm) was different from G6 (DEOS buccal and mesial) (44.21 μm) (p=0.023). For MGM, G0 (control) (53.96 μm) was different from G5 (DEOS mesial) (45.76 μm) and G6 (DEOS buccal and mesial) (48.56 vm) (p=0.013 and p=0.041, respectively) and G2 (COR mesial) (58.43 μm) was different from G5 (DEOS mesial) (45.76 μm) (p=0.016).

Conclusions:
Despite a statistically significant difference in certain groups for both techniques, COR and DEOS techniques are viable options for image editing during acquisition. Lithium disilicate crowns can be produced with satisfactory marginal gap values utilizing a chairside CAD/CAM system.
Songs for Health: The Magical Power
Authors: Nygård-Pearson Elisabeth 
Published: July 2024

This autoethnographic study shares stories, observations and reflection notes from conversations with patients, relatives and hospital workers. Collated during years of singing at St. Olavs Hospital, a university hospital in Trondheim, Norway, these data are used to illuminate the following research question: How can the unpacking of micro-moments help me in understanding how I connect with patients and their families through singing in a hospital setting?
There is something significant about these encounters in a space where we engage with music and song which needs further exploration. This chapter offers a closer look at how the emotions of others and my own are triggered, how memories are recaptured and how a sense of self is rediscovered through musical interactions. By accepting and examining my own vulnerability, I take a closer look at these emerging “micro-moments,” exploring how they can aid in highlighting the importance of music and song for promoting patients’ well-being in a hospital setting.

Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought various problems into our daily life, and one of them is an increase in the volume of medical waste, which poses a risk to the environment and health.An evaluation of how optimal the supply chain management of medical waste as a whole can assist in the development of medical waste management and policy making. In this paper, the study on observing and reformulating the existing medical waste supply chain optimization model using Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is discussed. This study is done by modifying the objective function and the constraints with considering elimination of the landfill tax variable. The resulted model is also a multi-objective optimization problem. To this end, the Lexicographic Method is employed to obtained the optimal solution. In this model, the most prioritizes that is considered in the environmental condition to the medical waste supply chain. A numerical experiment is done in this paper which it results suggests two things, first, the cost of medical waste processing is much greater than its revenue, and second, the waste processing through incineration is not favorable. Thus, it can be concluded that this study provides a modified medical waste optimization model and decisions in determining the combination of the amount and method for each subtype of medical waste to be processed by maximizing profit and the amount of waste sent to the landfill.

Whole person medical education - moving beyond learning objectives and curriculum dot points
Authors: Koppe Hilton 
Published: July 2024

In recent years, great progress has been made in teaching medical students, residents and physicians to be more patient focused in their clinical interactions. Patient-centred medical care initially, and now whole person care, have helped to improve patient experiences of the health system, and led to better patient outcomes.Unfortunately, during this time, teaching methods have not moved forward at the same pace. Medical education is often teacher focussed and syllabus driven. Emphasis is put on how to pass assessment tasks and exams. The learner as a person can be as invisible as the patient once was before the changes towards more person-centred medical care.It is time for a paradigm shift in medical education - for whole person care principles to be applied in education as they have been in clinical care.This experiential, interactive workshop will challenge participants to think about how they deliver educational material for students, residents and continued professional development. Whole person care principles will be applied to both the planning of an educational event, and to strategies and techniques for delivery of education. Participants will have an opportunity to practice and refine these techniques.Participants can expect to leave the workshop equipped, inspired and ready for the challenge of leading an education paradigm change within their home institution. Or maybe they might just have a bit of fun with like-minded colleagues, thinking about new ways of teaching.

Published: July 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the factors influencing readers’ choice between audiobooks and physical books. The research focuses on how perceived ease of use and attachment to printed books affect the intention to adopt audiobook services.

Theoretical Framework: The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a prominent theory in the field of information systems that explains how users adopt new technologies.

Method: For this research, the methodology comprises quantitative method, PLS-SEM analysis, and structural model evaluation. Data collection was carried out through online questionnaires.

Results and Discussion: The study supports the role of Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) in increasing Perceived Usefulness (PU) for audiobooks. Attachment to physical books seems to be a complex factor not solely influenced by ease of use or perceived benefits of audiobooks.

Research Implications: The study highlights the importance of user-friendly audiobook platforms. Providers should design intuitive interfaces and emphasize ease of use to attract new customers, communicate the practical benefits of audiobooks, such as convenience and utility, consider offering resources or programs that improve technology literacy and comfort, and develop strategies to address attachment by emphasizing how audiobooks can complement, rather than replace, the traditional reading experience.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting attachment to traditional reading formats as a factor influencing audiobook adoption. Previous TAM studies primarily focused on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. This study suggests that emotional attachment to physical books can be a resistance mechanism hindering audiobook adoption.

The institutional nature of political power according to new directions in institutional theory
Authors: Abdulqader abdalkarim Omed , Qadir Muhiddeen Sardar 
Published: July 2024

Institutional theory is one of the oldest theories used to analyze political issues and phenomena. In the classical period, this theory emphasized the constitutional and legal aspects, while paying more attention to the official institutions of the state, especially the powers (legislative, executive and judicial). In the 1950s, due to the rise and dominance of the behavioral school, this theory was ignored by researchers in the field. However, the beginning of a new phase of institutional theory in the 1970s; the emergence of all three directions (historical, social, and rational choice) was also a strong factor in attracting researchers to use institutional theory in their studies.
At the same time, political power has always been of interest and debate in political analysis, although the concept has often been portrayed in the guise of an individual and a ruling group. But in fact, one of the characteristics of political power is institutionalization. For this purpose, this paper describes political power and new directions of institutional theory. On the other hand, it analyzes the nature of institutionalization and how the process of institutionalizing political power is carried out within the framework of new directions of institutional theory.
The Rise of Decolonial Image:	Postcolonial Reading to Django Unchained Movie by Quentin Tarantino
Authors: Marf Mohammed Samal 
Published: July 2024

This paper provides postcolonial analysis of Django Unchained movie which is written and directed by American Film writer Quentin Tarantino in 2012. More specifically, the analysis focused on three primary components: firstly, Quentin Tarantino’s critique for slavery of blacks and racial discrimination, secondly, Orientalized Oriental discourse via postcolonial lens, and thirdly, decolonization discourse which is represented by Django, the protagonist of the movie. Throughout the movie, the viewers can see many scenes of slavery and racial intolerance which reflects many historical facts in the era of American slavery; including how blacks were obliged to work and how they were treated inhumanely. In a similar vein, the viewer can see the spirit of Orientalized Oriental phenomenon through Stephen as one of the major actors of the movie who embodies the phenomenon which supported abusing with blacks although he is a black actor. Quentin Tarantino gives a spectacular role to Django who becomes a symbolic emancipation of blacks and earns his freedom and frees his wife, Broomhilda. Postcolonial critics react against the imperial history of colonization, like the structure of racism as well as colonial power which reshaped itself by Orientalized Oriental discourse. After all, Django Unchained Movie contributes to the discourse of postcolonialism in which Quentin Tarantino reveals some historical facts about African American slavery, and in contrast to many other Film Makers, he gives a good role to non-European hero, Django.
