Published: April 2024

Aim:
Implant therapy in partially edentulous patients has become the most adapted and predictable treatment modality. The success rate of implants has been measured in terms of esthetic, biological, and technical factors such as radiographic bone loss, prosthetic complications, and stability. Despite the existence of several indices for the esthetic assessment of implant crowns, a need for functional evaluation of the implant crown with an objective and reproducible score has arisen. The study aims to validate the reproducibility of the functional implant prosthodontic score (FIPS) and the influence exerted by different dental specialties while evaluating posterior single-unit implant crowns.

Study Setting and Design:
This was a prospective clinical study.

Materials and Methods:
Fifteen patients with cement-retained single-implant crowns in the posterior region of the jaws were included. Eight examiners, two prosthodontists, two periodontists, two oral surgeons, and two orthodontists evaluated 15 photographs of single-unit implant crowns during the 1-year follow-up examination. The examiners assessed the photographs for FIPS, which includes five parameters for objectively evaluating the single-unit implant crowns. Assessments were performed twice at a gap of 4 weeks.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Pearson’s correlation with a 95% confidence interval was calculated for the intra-examiner and the Kruskal–Wallis test for inter-examiner reproducibility.

Results:
The mean total FIPS scores for all included examiners were 7.133 for time T1 and 7.074 for time T2, showing a strong Pearson correlation coefficient for intra-examiner reproducibility. No significant difference was analyzed among different specialties with statistically significant values of the Kruskal–Wallis test.

Conclusion:
Intra- and inter-examiner analysis showed very consistent results during the reproducibility assessment of FIPS. The results validated the use of FIPS as a long-term predictive functional evaluation tool for the single-implant crowns in posterior sites irrespective of the effect of different dental specialties. It could be used for risk estimation and prognosis for long-term survival and performance of implant crowns.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different treatment modalities for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and their relevance to chronic cervical pain after 12 months.

Settings and Design:
This was a randomized controlled trial.

Materials and Methods:
Forty-eight participants with chronic cervical and TMJ pain were selected using research diagnostic criteria and randomized into four groups (n = 12), which included control, soft splints, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and low-level laser (LLL). The cervical and TMJ pain was recorded using visual analog scale (VAS) scores at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Occlusal equilibration was done for all groups except for the control.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The mean pain scores were statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and post
hoc test.

Results:
The mean VAS scores in TMJ pain patients between the four groups at baseline and at final follow-up were 7.27 ± 1.29 in Group 1, 7.53 ± 0.70 in Group 2, 7.76 ± 0.80 in Group 3, and 7.61 ± 0.61 in Group 4. The mean difference between Groups 1 and 3, Groups 1 and 4, and Groups 2 and 3 was statistically significant (P < 0.00). Pearson correlation test yielded a mild and negative correlation between TMJ and cervical pain.

Conclusion:
TENS and LLL were found to be equally effective in reducing pain in the jaw joint region, followed by soft splints, and there was no correlation between TMJ and cervical pain.

Marriage is crucial for fulfilling human biological needs. Often, couples opt for early marriage, which unfortunately may end in early divorce. In Indonesia, these cases are not uncommon, with an increase observed in 2023 compared to previous years. The quality of children, family, family harmony, and divorce are all influenced by these issues, leading to school dropout rates. In Desa Rowogempol, Kecamatan Lekok, Kabupaten Pasuruan, early marriages are prevalent despite the enactment of Law No. 16 of 2019, which sets the minimum marriage age at 19 for both genders. This context sets the basis for this study, aiming to understand the intensity, factors, and impacts of early marriage and divorce in Desa Rowogempol. The research employs qualitative methods (field research). Quantitative data on early marriages are collected from the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in Kecamatan Lekok, while data on divorces resulting from early marriage are obtained from the Religious Court (PA) in Kabupaten Pasuruan. Qualitative data are gathered through face-to-face interviews and online media with relevant parties. The study reveals an increase in early marriage intensity from 2022-2023, while early divorce shows a decline. Generally, early marriages occur due to arranged marriages or inappropriate social interactions, often leading to early divorces due to frequent conflicts stemming from the arranged nature of the marriage.

Appraisal of teachers’ ability to adhere to the national professional standards plays a significant role in ensuring their productivity in schools. However, in Makueni County, teacher productivity in public secondary schools is low. This study assessed the influence of appraisal of teachers’ adherence to national professional standards on teacher productivity in public secondary schools in Makueni County, Kenya. A mixed methodology and concurrent triangulation research design were adopted. The target population comprised 393 principals and 3420 teachers from the 393 public secondary schools in Makueni County totaling 3813 respondents from which a sample of 362 respondents was calculated using Yamane’s Formula. Stratified sampling was used to select all public secondary schools in all the nine sub-counties in Makueni County. From each sub-county, at least four schools were selected using simple random sampling. Simple random sampling was applied to select 39 principals considering schools that have registered high and low academic grades for the last five years. A total of 323 teachers were selected using a simple random method. A questionnaire was used to collect data from teachers whereas interview guides were used to gather qualitative data from principals. Data analysis began by identifying common themes. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically based on study objectives and presented in narrative forms. Quantitative data were analyzed inferentially using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (Version 27) and presented using tables. The study of the levels of appraisal of teachers' adherence to national professional standards is not satisfactory to occasion improved productivity among teachers. The study recommends that principals should encourage teachers to understand different legal requirements in education, pursue further training, and have an inkling of all requirements of classroom pedagogy. This will go a long way in enhancing their professional acumen necessary for higher productivity.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0757/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

THE CONTRIBUTION OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND RELIGIOSITY IN PREDICTING PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE AMONG ISRAELI PALESTINIAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Egbaria Hamza 
Published: April 2024

<p>Previous studies have revealed that emotional intelligence and religiosity may be protective factors for psychological resilience; however, this study is unique since it is the first to explore the relationships among the Palestinian minority in Israel. The purpose of the current study was to examine emotional intelligence and religiosity as predictors of psychological resilience among Palestinian high school students. A cross-sectional and descriptive design study was carried out with a convenience sample consisting of 512 high school students. Three scales administered were: The Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), the Religiosity Scale and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient tests were used to analyse the data. Linear regression analysis was performed to check the prediction of emotional intelligence and religiosity on psychological resilience. The findings revealed positive correlations between emotional intelligence and religiosity with psychological resilience respectively (r=.73, p&lt;.01), (r=.41, p&lt;.01). The main contribution of the present study is its approach in examining the relationship between emotional intelligence and religiosity to psychological resilience among high school students, specifically within the context of Palestinian society in Israel.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/lit/0757/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
Modeling of indoor 222Rn in data-scarce regions: an interactive dashboard approach for Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Domínguez Durán Martín , Sandoval Garzón María Angélica , Huguet Carme 
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Radon (222Rn) is a naturally occurring gas that represents a health threat due to its causal relationship with lung cancer. Despite its potential health impacts, several regions have not conducted studies, mainly due to data scarcity and/or economic constraints. This study aims to bridge the baseline information gap by building an interactive dashboard (http://ircmodelingdashboard.eu.pythonanywhere.com/, last access: 17 April 2024) that uses inferential statistical methods to estimate the spatial distribution of indoor radon concentration (IRC) for a target area. We demonstrate the functionality of the dashboard by modeling IRC in the city of Bogotá, Colombia, using 30 in situ measurements. IRC measured was the highest reported in the country, with a geometric mean of 91±14 Bq m−3 and a maximum concentration of 407 Bq m−3. In 57 % of the residences, RC exceeded the WHO's recommendation of 100 Bq m−3. A prediction map for houses registered in Bogotá's cadaster was built in the dashboard by using a log-linear regression model fitted with the in situ measurements, together with meteorological, geologic and building-specific variables. The model showed a cross-validation root mean squared error of 57 Bq m−3. Furthermore, the model showed that the age of the house presented a statistically significant positive association with RC. According to the model, IRC measured in houses built before 1980 presents a statistically significant increase of 72 % compared to IRC of those built after 1980 (p value = 0.045). The prediction map exhibited higher IRC in older buildings most likely related to cracks in the structure that could enhance gas migration in older houses. This study highlights the importance of expanding 222Rn studies in countries with a lack of baseline values and provides a cost-effective alternative that could help deal with the scarcity of IRC data and get a better understanding of place-specific variables that affect IRC spatial distribution.
A 3D glacier dynamics–line plume model to estimate the frontal ablation of Hansbreen, Svalbard

Published: April 2024

Abstract. Frontal ablation is responsible for a large fraction of the mass loss from tidewater glaciers. The main contributors to frontal ablation are iceberg calving and submarine melting, with calving often being the largest. However, submarine melting, in addition to its direct contribution to mass loss, also promotes calving through the changes induced in the stress field at the glacier terminus, so both processes should be jointly analysed. Among the factors influencing submarine melting, the formation of a buoyant plume due to the emergence of fresh subglacial water at the glacier grounding line plays a key role. In this study we used Elmer/Ice to develop a 3D glacier dynamics model including calving and subglacial hydrology coupled with a line plume model to calculate the calving front position at every time step. We applied this model to the Hansbreen–Hansbukta glacier–fjord system in southern Spitsbergen, Svalbard, where a large set of data are available for both the glacier and the fjord from September 2008 to March 2011. We found that our 3D model reproduced the expected seasonal cycle of advance–retreat. Besides, the modelled front positions were in good agreement with the observed front positions at the central part of the calving front, with longitudinal differences, on average, below 15 m for the period from December 2009 to March 2011. But there were regions of the front, especially the eastern margin, that presented major differences.
