Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT

Background and Aim:
Accurate dental casts are essential for various dental procedures. Type IV gypsum is commonly used due to its properties. However, delayed pouring may affect accuracy. This study evaluates the dimensional accuracy of four Type IV die stones at 1-hour and 24-hour pouring intervals.

Methodology:
Eighty samples were divided into four groups. Impressions were made using standardized procedures, and die stones were poured after 1 hour or 24 hours. Measurements were taken using a profile projector.

Results:
ZODENTA demonstrated the least variation at 1-hour pouring, while FUJI showed minimal variation at 24-hour pouring. Differences between 1-hour and 24-hour pouring were minimal across brands.

Discussion:
Type IV gypsum is favored for dental casts due to its properties. Other studies have explored related factors such as surface roughness and hardness.

Conclusion:
ZODENTA was more accurate at 1-hour pouring, while FUJI performed better at 24-hour pouring. Further research is needed to understand the impact of delayed pouring on dimensional accuracy in dental restorations.

Authors: Alsayegh Abdulrahman A. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Gastric cancer, also called stomach cancer, is one of the most fatal cancers with widespread global prevalence, despite declining incidences and mortality rates in the past decade. The data for the study are gathered from the Saudi Cancer Registry, created and maintained by the National Health Information Center, used to undertake the observational analysis on the epidemiological status of gastric cancer prevalence, a cohort-based epidemiological research on stomach cancer. The study examined the age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) and crude incidence rates (CIRs) of stomach cancer as per the different anthropometric parameters, such as age group, diagnostic year, and administrative districts, among Saudi inhabitants to analyze the gastric cancer prevalence, distribution, and trends. The study highlights consumption of high salt, high red meat, and highly processed food as some of the major causes of stomach cancer prevalence in Saudi Arabia.

Materials and Methods:
The data were analyzed using SPSS version 2.0 and GraphPad Prism software, which included the Kruskal–Wallis, sex ratio, t-test, and detailed statistics information. Saudi documented 1972 and 1296 instances of stomach cancer in both sexes, respectively, between 2006 and 2016.

Results:
The highest mean numbers and percentage of gastric cancer cases were found among men and women over 75 years old, meanwhile men and women aged between 0 and 19 years showed lowest percentage of gastric cancer cases. The greatest mean CIR (2.4) was found in males in Asir, followed by Najran and Makkah (2.1). CIRs of stomach cancer cases in Saudi women decreased somewhat. The highest CIR was 1.5 in 2007, followed by 1.4 in 2011 and 2014, respectively. The highest mean ASIR was observed among both sexes in the Najran and Northern regions. Males and females in Asir and Riyadh, respectively, had the highest mean CIR.

Conclusion:
In the present study, Saudi males had a modest increase in CIRs and a drop in ASIRs of gastric cancer in males and females, whereas females had a slight decrease in CIRs. Between 2006 and 2016, the mean ASIR in males and females in Riyadh and the Northern area was the highest.

Abstract

Background:
The use of lecture handouts is very common in all institutes of higher education, whether medical or otherwise. Students prefer handouts and think of them positively. On the other hand, teachers across disciplines have varied opinions regarding the utility and effects of handouts on learning outcomes. In our university, the use of lecture handouts is a common practice despite being officially discouraged.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted at King Khalid University, Abha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from March 2022 to August 2022 to assess the attitude and practice of Medical Colleges students’ regarding handout use and their perception of the effects of handouts on the quality of undergraduate medical education. Given our set inclusion/exclusion criteria, out of 521 eligible student participants, a total of 430 students were enrolled in the study.

Results:
A 73.7% of respondents agreed that handouts helped them write notes and follow explanations in a better way, whereas 25.1% respondents reported that they were not willing to attend the classes when receiving handouts early. Majority of respondents (80.5%) thought that the use of handouts would improve their examination performance and GPA, while 31.6% think providing handouts might result in poor attendance. The most negative perception among the respondents was that 67.9% of the respondents believed that consulting references were only needed if no handouts are provided.

Conclusions:
We found that most of the students thought positively about the use of handouts. However, the results brought up many hidden but glaring negative effects of the handouts on attendance and reading from textbooks, which need to be addressed.

Unraveling the Importance of Indian Classical Dances on Mental Well-Being of Performers
Authors: Srivastava Nikita , Soni Priyanka , Singh Rajat , Sharma Anchal , Kumar Arun 
Published: August 2024

Dance has held significant importance in Indian culture and history. It has been used as a form of artistic expression, as a means of indulging in recreation and leisure, as a medium of conveying emotions like joy during special occasions of wedding and festivities. The mental health field has also recognised the importance of dance in recent years with dance movement therapy becoming popular worldwide. Ayurveda has emphasized the power that dance holds in healing and creating inner awareness. Various Indian philosophies support the idea of dance and music being beneficial for human physical and mental health. During the Aryan period, Nritya (dance) was linked to yoga, giving it a spiritual meaning. Dance forms were utilised by the Aryans to purify and strength the mental capabilities. The seven major Indian classical dance forms are Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Kathakali, Odissi, Kuchipudi, Manipuri and Mohiniattam. These dance forms possess three common aspects of Natya (drama), Nritta and Nritya (dance). There exists very limited research about the importance of these traditional dance forms in terms of improving mental well-being. Even though traditionally the traditional dances were deeply rooted in spirituality and philosophy. The present paper aims to examine how classical Indian dance forms can serve as a means of improving mental well-being by thoroughly reviewing literature.
Mental health of intellectually gifted individuals: Investigating the nonlinearity of the relationship between intelligence and general mental health
Authors: Czerwiński Stanisław K. , Atroszko Paweł A. , Konarski Roman 
Published: August 2024

BackgroundDespite intelligence being generally related to better mental health, individuals with extremely high levels of intelligence (also often referred to as gifted) are frequently viewed to be socially maladjusted, emotionally unstable, and eccentric. Although this view has existed for decades, the scientific data on this subject are highly inconsistent and suffer from several methodological limitations.Participants and procedureIn this study, to test whether the relationship between general intelligence and general mental health is nonlinear in such a way that at extreme values of intelligence the relationship turns from positive to negative the data from eight waves of the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) were used (N range from 2,870 to 7,984), with intelligence being assessed at age 10, and mental health being assessed with several different measures at ages 16, 26, 30, 34, 42, 46 and 50. Quadratic regression, as well as spline regression, which divides the dataset into intervals, creates a separate regression for each interval and then smooths out the breakpoints, was used for analyses.ResultsThe results showed that the nonlinear models generally fit the data better than the corresponding linear models.ConclusionsAt high values of intelligence, individuals might begin to experience unique issues affecting their mental health, despite their mental health being at potentially the same or higher level than those with average intelligence. Intellectually gifted individuals have a large potential to have a positive impact on the functioning of the whole society. Recognizing and understanding their problems may prove to be of great importance.

Characters such as Supreme Treasure and Zixia Fairy have unique love relationships, and the movie weaves a complex web of love. In this paper, the famous psychoanalyst Lacan's philosophical theories are used to hermeneutically analyze the love relationship in the movie, so as to prove the impossible truth of love in A Chinese Odyssey.
PRESCRIÇÃO FARMACÊUTICA DE PROFILAXIA PRÉ-EXPOSIÇÃO AO HIV NO BRASIL E NO CEARÁ: UMA ANÁLISE DE INDICADORES
Authors: Lima Mário Henrique da Silva , Coutinho Júnior Miguel Eusébio Pereira , Pinheiro Thaís Galvão 
Published: August 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: A profilaxia pré-exposição ao HIV (PrEP) é uma terapia farmacológica profilática fornecida pelo Sistema Único de Saúde, utilizada como estratégia de controle e prevenção ao HIV e atualmente pode ser prescrita por médicos, enfermeiros e farmacêuticos. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o cenário brasileiro, com ênfase no Ceará, no tocante a atuação do farmacêutico enquanto prescritor da PrEP. METODOLOGIA: Foram utilizados dados de domínio público divulgados pelo Ministério da Saúde, através da plataforma Painel PrEP. RESULTADOS: Há registros da prescrição farmacêutica no âmbito do HIV em 24 estados do Brasil, com exceção de Alagoas, Distrito Federal e Rondônia. No estado cearense, a atividade acontece apenas em 27% dos municípios que possuem unidades dispensadoras de medicamentos, com maior concentração na cidade de Fortaleza. Na literatura, o desconhecimento dos usuários a respeito da atividade de prescrever pelo profissional de farmácia e o receio da própria classe culminam na dificuldade de consolidação da prática. CONCLUSÃO: Observou-se uma participação crescente e gradativa do farmacêutico na prescrição de profilaxias para o HIV, apesar da urgência em investimento e disseminação de informação a respeito da atividade, como forma de alcançar um maior público.

Using Zero-Watermarking Algorithm to Protect Arabic Text Documents
Authors: Abdulmaged Shahbaa Mohammed , Abdulmaged Nadia Mohammed , Farhan Aumama Mohammed 
Published: August 2024

In today's digital age where powerful communication media such as the Internet allow for efficient information exchange, copyright protection and authentication of digital content has become an important issue. Plain text is the most widely used means of exchanging information online, and it is important to verify the authenticity of the text. Very limited techniques are available for watermarking and authentication of Arabic text. This paper aims to develop a zero-watermark algorithm to protect the Arabic digital content from being tampering.
The algorithm creates an accurate zero watermark based on the characteristics of the content of the Arabic text itself. The watermark is determined by the frequency of appearance of prepositions and their specific locations (في، عن، من، على) in the text. The extraction algorithm used for extracting zero watermark and compared with the created one to prove the authenticity of the Arabic text. This method ensures that any change to the text will lead to a change in the extracted zero watermark, which will facilitate the detection process upon verification. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm in discovering text tampering (addition, deletion, and rephrasing), tested on nine different text samples with various lengths and attacks, the proposed approach is robust in detecting modifications to the text, even if they are minor, compared to the existing approach.

Stemcomputers en videoverbindingen: de mogelijkheden tot digitalisering van de stemprocedures in de Staten-Generaal
Stemmingen kunnen in een volksvertegenwoordiging op verschillende manieren vorm krijgen, zoals een procedure bij handopsteken, bij zitten en opstaan of een hoofdelijke stemprocedure. Deze stemprocedures van de Staten-Generaal kennen echter verschillende praktische en constitutionele bezwaren. In dit artikel staat daarom de vraag centraal in hoeverre digitalisering van de stemprocedures in de Staten-Generaal de huidige stemprocedures kan verbeteren, gelet op de praktische en constitutionele bezwaren die daar vanuit de vertegenwoordigende democratie tegen in zijn te brengen. Ter beantwoording daarvan zijn verschillende voorbeelden van digitale stemprocedures bekeken, zoals die van het Europees Parlement en van de Nederlandse decentrale volksvertegenwoordigingen. Hieruit volgen twee te combineren digitaliseringsmogelijkheden, namelijk elektronische stemprocedures en hybride stemprocedures. Een toetsing van deze twee procedures aan artikel 50 en 67 Grondwet toont aan dat een fysiek quorumvereiste moet blijven bestaan, maar dat tegelijkertijd stemcomputers en ook online stemmende Kamerleden via een beveiligde videoverbinding met geluid tot de mogelijkheden behoren. Hierbij gelden bovendien wel voorwaarden, zoals het gebruik van een stemlampje en het behoud van een mondelinge hoofdelijke stemprocedure.
Ações pedagógicas e administrativas preparatórias para as avaliações do SARESP: perspectivas dos diretores de escolas públicas paulistas
Authors: Gesqui Luiz Carlos , Rodrigues Marselha Aparecida de Paula 
Published: August 2024

As avaliações do Sistema de Avaliação e Rendimento Escolar do Estado de São Paulo (Saresp) são realizadas periodicamente em toda a rede pública paulista de ensino regular com a finalidade de produzir um indicador de qualidade de ensino que preste apoio a gestores para o monitoramento das políticas educacionais. A comunidade escolar e, principalmente, a Direção Escolar deve acompanhar tal indicador e estabelecer ações para sua ampliação nos anos seguintes. Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa (Rodrigues, 2023) que teve como objetivo central mapear e analisar as ações pedagógicas e administrativas desenvolvidas e manifestadas pelos Diretores das escolas da referida rede em Araraquara – SP, sob a governança da Diretoria de Ensino Região de Araraquara (DEARA) como preparatórias para as avaliações do Saresp e cumprimento das metas do Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (Idesp) anualmente estabelecidas pela Secretaria da Educação do Estado de São Paulo (Seduc-SP), como hipótese central, que essas escolas desenvolvem tais ações, uma vez que sentem-se pressionadas pelos órgãos governamentais a elevarem os resultados dos indicadores nas avaliações externas. Os principais referenciais de análise foram os conceitos de accountability (Afonso, 2009; 2012) e de qualidade negociada (Freitas, 2007). Dentre seus resultados este artigo destaca os referentes à formação acadêmica e atuação profissional do grupo de respondentes e ao agrupamento que capta informações quanto as estratégias utilizadas na preparação da escola para as avaliações do Saresp.
