Authors: Barman Sangeeta , Singh Neelesh , Pant Vandana A. , Aamir Mohammad , Biswas Snigdha 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Conventional implants are associated with ridge augmentation/sinus lift procedures in vertically insufficient ridges, which increase morbidity and healing time. Short implants provided some hope in this context. The present study considered the use of ultra-short implants in vertically insufficient posterior mandibular ridges and evaluated their success. Hence, study was done to evaluate the success of ultra-short implants in partially edentulous posterior mandible clinically and radiographically.

Materials and Methods:
The study is a “Naïve direct comparison” of ultra-short implants to conventional implants for assessing their success in vertically insufficient posterior mandibular ridges. A total of 10 ultra-short implants were placed in a partially edentulous posterior mandibular ridge with at least 8-mm horizontal (at crest) and vertical dimensions. A delayed loading was done at three-month follow-up. Data acquisition was done at baseline (immediately after loading), 6-, 9-, 12-month intervals. Parameters assessed were marginal bone loss (MBL), probing pocket depth reduction (PPDR), modified plaque index (mPI), modified gingival index (mGI).

Results:
All the placed 10 implants survived, and no failure was observed. “Independent sample t-test” and “paired sample t-test” was done for intergroup and intragroup analysis, respectively. Intergroup comparison between the ultra-short and conventional implants presented a statistically insignificant difference between all the parameters at all the follow-up visits (baseline, 6-, 9-, 12 months).

Conclusions:
Within the limitations, it was thus concluded that ultra-short implants may be considered as a viable treatment option for vertically insufficient mandibular ridge. Further, long-term randomized controlled trials are required to establish the evidence.
The effectiveness of intravenous ibuprofen versus intravenous ketorolac for postoperative pain relief after caesarean section
Authors: Shehab Ahmed S. , Bochra Kirollos A. , Tawfik Tarek A. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Caesarean deliveries are currently the most frequent surgical procedure performed worldwide. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are frequently used to control postoperative pain as a part of the multimodal analgesia technique. We studied the efficacy of intravenous ibuprofen versus intravenous ketorolac to relieve postoperative pain following caesarean delivery under general anaesthesia.

Patients and methods
Fifty adult parturients aged 20–30 were studied and classified to the American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) class II scheduled for elective caesarean delivery under general anaesthesia. Patients were divided into groups: group A (n=25), 30 mg ketorolac in 200 ml normal saline every 6 h, and group B (n=25), 800 mg ibuprofen in 200 ml normal saline every 6 h. They were evaluated for haemodynamic stability, visual analog score (VAS) score, 24-h opioid requirement, time to ambulate, and time to first analgesic dose.

Results
Group B (ibuprofen group) showed a lower VAS score through all the 24 h postoperatively at rest and during movement with allover VAS at rest (3.17±1.08) versus (4.32±1.3) P=0.008 and allover VAS during movement (3.21±1.11) versus (4.56±1.92) P=0.001. Also, lower 24-h opioid requirement in group B (ibuprofen group) with a mean value of (42.0 ±21.31) mg versus (110.0±17.68) mg in group A (ketorolac group) P=0.0021 and longer time to first analgesic dose in group B (ibuprofen group) with a mean value of (328.0±89.63) min versus (158.40 ±57.13) min in group A (ketorolac group) P=0.001 with more haemodynamic stability. Group B also showed lower ambulation time and less nocturnal awakening due to pain.

Conclusions
Intravenous ibuprofen is more effective than intravenous ketorolac in reducing postoperative pain following caesarean delivery. It reduces the 24-h opioid requirement and VAS at rest and during movement.

Abstract
Social accountability in medical education deals with the responsibility of medical colleges and health-care facilities to effectively respond to the health-related needs of the communities they cater to. The incorporation of social accountability into the medical curriculum has been linked with multiple benefits for different stakeholders. Considering the utility of social accountability, there is an immense need to integrate the same into the medical curriculum and implement it for the benefit of medical students. The success of social accountability will essentially depend on the kind of partnership of medical colleges with the local community. Upon implementation of social accountability into the medical curriculum, the next step is to ascertain the impact of such initiatives. In conclusion, the adoption of social accountability into medical education can significantly aid in the process of producing compassionate and culturally competent medical graduates. The need of the hour is to adopt a concerted approach to integrate social accountability in the medical curriculum and regularly measure its impact for periodic betterment and reduction in health disparity.

Authors: ElSheikh Mona M. , Al Saadawy Eman G. , Reda Mohamed-Ihab , Khaled Manal F. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber tractography are relatively recent MRI techniques that have opened an entirely new noninvasive window on the white matter (WM) connectivity of the human brain. Since their introduction, they have rapidly evolved and found application in essentially every disorder involving the WM.

Aim
The aim of this work was to study the clinical applications of DTI and fiber tractography in various neoplastic and nonneoplastic brain lesions, as well as to demonstrate their role in preoperative mapping of WM tracts in relation to brain lesions.

Patients and methods
A prospective study was conducted for 2 years on 40 patients presenting to Alexandria University with variable intracranial lesions related to WM tracts who underwent DTI and fiber tractography. The study included 25 males and 15 females. The age of the patients ranged from 6 to 76 years (mean age, 40.7 years). Qualitative analysis of DTI data was performed using directionally encoded color maps and three-dimensional tractography reconstruction.

Results
According to visual analysis multiple projection, association and/or commissural WM fiber tracts were involved; the most common was the corticospinal tract in 25 (62.5%) cases. WM tract involvement patterns were deviated/splayed tracts in 31 (64.6%) cases, infiltrated in nine (18.8%) cases, edematous in five (10.4%) cases, and interrupted in three (6.3%) cases.

Conclusion
DTI and fiber tractography are valuable noninvasive techniques providing qualitative information aiding in lesion characterization, determining WM integrity, and essential in the surgical planning for patients with intrinsic brain lesions.
Minimally invasive strabismus surgery versus paralimbal approach for horizontal strabismus surgery
Authors: Mahmoud Ola A.A. , Alkasaby Mohamed I. , Mohamed Sanaa A. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Minimal invasion surgeries have gained popularity in many fields of ophthalmology. In strabismus surgery, a similar approach is done to gain access to muscles, which is performed through keyhole openings.

Objective
To compare between minimal invasive strabismus surgery (MISS) technique and limbal approach for horizontal rectus muscle regarding postoperative muscular alignment and postoperative complications.

Patients and methods
This study included 60 eyes (36 patients of different age and sex) presenting with horizontal strabismus. The first group included 30 eyes that were managed by MISS (patient group), and the second group included 30 eyes that were managed by the limbal approach (control group).

Results
No significant difference was found regarding postoperative pain, conjunctival redness, and ocular alignment. There was no significant increase in complications between the two groups. Operative time was longer in the MISS technique, with highly significant difference between the two groups.

Conclusion
MISS technique is an alternative technique to limbal incision that can be used on horizontal muscles. It has the same effect as the limbal approach with the same success rate. It has the advantages of sparing perilimbal episcleral vessels, which make some surgeon prefer it if there is fear of anterior segment ischemia.
Omega results for the error term in the square-free divisor problem for square-full integers
Authors: Banerjee Debika , Minamide Makoto T. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the distributive properties of square-free divisors over square-full integers. We first compute the mean value of the number of such divisors and obtain the error term which appears in its asymptotic formula. We then show that if one assumes the Riemann Hypothesis, then the omega estimate of such an error term can be drastically improved. Finally, we compute the omega estimate of the mean square of such an error term.

Published: March 2024

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is one of the most important pathogens of the reproductive systems that have a significant socio economic impact on the dairy industry. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 17 randomly selected farms out of 133 registered dairy farms in Holeta, a town in the Walmera district of Ethiopia. The study aimed to detect BVDV antigen-positive animals and investigate the seroprevalence of BVDV infection. A total of 337 serum samples were collected from selected farms with no history of BVDV vaccination. The indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) test was the screening test used to detect antibodies against BVDV. In contrast, antigencapture ELISA was used for the detection of BVDV antigens in seronegative animals. A logistic regression model was used to assess the association between potential predictors and BVDV exposure. The overall animal level seroprevalence was 15.4%, and 64.7% of the herds had at least one seropositive animal. From 285 seronegative animals, one animal (0.4%) was found positive for BVDV antigen. The same animal was found positive in a double check 21 days later. In this study, cows with a history of abortion (OR = 6.3; 95% CI: 1.61 -13.1), history of repeated breeding (OR = 7; 95% CI: 2.5 - 14.3), animals managed intensively (OR = 4.6; 95% CI: 1.6 - 13.0) and multiparous cows (OR = 3.6; 95% CI: 1.5 - 8.9) had higher proportion of seroreactors in their respective comparison category (p<0.05). Besides, cows with a history of congenital defective calve birth (OR = 15.2; 95% CI: 3.2 - 73.6), adult age groups (OR = 2.9; 95% CI: 1.0-7.9), and cows bred both artificially and natural mating (OR = 4.6; 95% CI: 1.7 - 12.6) were statistically associated with BVDV seropositivity (p<0.05). In conclusion, this report demonstrated the presence of persistently infected (PI) dairy cattle in Ethiopia. Thus, the findings warrant the need for immediate control intervention that involves both screening and culling of PI animals and vaccination.
Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: Exploring Ways of Harnessing Pedagogical Practices with the Assistance of ChatGPT
Authors: Nikolopoulou Kleopatra 
Published: March 2024

There is a growing interest in using generative artificial intelligence (AI) for educational purposes within the higher education environments, while AI applications (such as ChatGPT) can transform traditional teaching and learning methods. ChatGPT is an advanced AI tool that generates new content and human-like responses. The purpose of this paper is to use ChatGPT as a research assistant in order to explore ways AI can be harnessed to enhance pedagogical practices in higher education. This is a qualitative study, in which the output-responses generated by ChatGPT provided a starting point for the investigation. AI can be harnessed to enhance pedagogical practices in higher education in various ways including personalized learning, automated assessment and feedback generation, virtual assistants and chatbots, content creation, resource recommendation, time management, language translation and support, research assistance, simulations and virtual labs. Other educational affordances that can strengthen the teaching and learning experience regard collaboration and communication, accessibility and inclusivity, as well as AI literacy. When implementing AI tools such as ChatGPT in higher education, ethical considerations (e.g., data privacy, transparency, accessibility, cultural sensitivity), potential misuses and concerns need to also be addressed. Although ChatGPT can aid the generation of content-ideas for further exploration, it is a complementary-supportive tool, and its output necessitates human evaluation and review. The integration of ChatGPT and other AI tools in the higher educational process/practices has implications for educators, students, design of curricula, and university policy makers.

Regimes of participation: theorising participatory archives from the outset of archivists' views on archival institutions and user participation in Scandinavia
Authors: Huvila Isto 
Published: March 2024

Introduction: In spite of the prominence of the notion of participatory archives, there is no consensus of what participation entails in archival contexts and a lack of theory to explain the mechanisms underpinning the diversity of views.
Method: Norwegian and Swedish archivists were surveyed as a part of the international ALMPUB research project for their views on user participation and how these views relate to their understanding of the role and the raison d’être of archives and archival institutions. The survey findings were used as a basis for theory development.
Analysis: The data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis and descriptive statistics. The results of the factor analysis theorised as subject positions relating to views pertaining to archival participation and the societal role of archival institutions.
Results: The analysis shows that the professionals’ perceptions of the rationale and impact of participation and the societal role of archives and archival institutions forms clusters were interpreted as relating to regimes of participation.
Conclusions: Drawing on the theorising of Boltanski and Thévenot, the alignments of the perceptions to archives’ raisons d’être and archival participation are explained in terms of four regimes of participation: 1) participation as an intrinsically valuable activity; 2) participation as a complement to professional work in the records continuum; 3) professional work as an auxiliary activity to participation of experts; and 4) participation as a means of producing additional value for archival institutions, i.e., arrangements of framing the justification and value of participation in, with and for archival institutions. It is, however, possible to imagine additional regimes that correspond with the social worlds of Boltanski and Thévenot not represented by them, including the inspired (participation as a source of inspiration) and domestic worlds (domiciliary participation), and the world by project (participatory project). The study suggests that inquiring into the justifications and regimes of worth attached to participation helps to refute simplistic assumptions of what participation entails and recognise the variety of participatory engagements and their diverging implications for different types of archival institutions and their diverse stakeholders.
Training in open access for doctoral students: results of a survey of current and recent students and supervisors
Authors: Wakeling Simon , Shephard Monique , Jamali Hamid H. R. 
Published: March 2024

Introduction. This study aimed to understand the extent to which doctoral students receive training relating to open access publishing, and the form of that training.
Method. An international online survey of 1,569 current and recent doctoral students and supervisors was undertaken. Questions covered the extent and nature of training in open access offered to doctoral students, sources of respondents’ open access knowledge, and their perspectives on open access.
Analysis. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted with some non-parametric tests. Free-text data were thematically analysed.
Results. The large majority of current and recent doctoral students and supervisors indicated there was no mandatory open access training at their institutions. More than half of respondents thought they had good or excellent understanding of open access, with those who had completed training more likely to highly rate their understanding. Only 27% of respondents felt the level of training offered was sufficient. Respondents suggested that institutions could take further action to support understanding of open access.
Conclusion. There is a need for institutions to develop further training in open access. Researchers who undertake training in report a better level of understanding of open access and place more importance on it as a factor in selecting a journal.
Approaches to information-seeking behaviour in psychology: a comparison of early and contemporary studies
Authors: Wilson Thomas D. 
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The aim of this paper is to explore the investigation of information-seeking behaviour in the literature of psychology, with special reference to the period before 1981, when the term was introduced into information science, and compare the research of that period, with research reported in 2022-2023.
Method. A search of the literature for the term ‘information-seeking behaviour’ was carried out in Web of Science and Scopus for the period 1900 to 1980 and from January 2022 to May 2023, producing two data sets for analysis.
Analysis. Descriptive analysis of sources and geographic distribution of the papers is presented. This is followed by an analysis of the research themes and approaches.
Results. In the early set of papers the main context of the research was educational and career counselling and the main research perspective social learning theory, with an emphasis on the concept of locus of control. In the later set, the main theoretical interest was in aspects of cognition, with a particular interest in curiosity.
Conclusion. There is much that the information science research can learn and apply from the literature of psychology. In particular, social learning theory, cognitive theory, and the associated research instruments could be of value.

Presidents from Adams through Polk, 1825-1849
Authors: Smith David A. 
Published: March 2024

It was the Era of Good Feelings, but all was not well with the young Republic. From 1825 to 1849, presidents John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and James K. Polk grappled with the legacy of the Monroe Doctrine, Indian removal, territorial expansion, the National Bank, tariffs, economic depressions, War with Mexico, near war with Great Britain, and the place of slavery in the growing nation.
As one would expect from confident citizens of the burgeoning young country, conflicting arguments swirled around the hot-button issues of the day. This rich resource of primary documents enables students to read these arguments first hand, and feel the passions and study the logic driving their often forceful positions.
All of the primary documents are annotated and placed into historical context. A thorough index concludes the work.
Presidents from Washington through Monroe, 1789-1825
Authors: Sturgis Amy H. 
Published: March 2024

This work offers the best of both worlds: broad analysis of the first five presidential administrations and specific excerpts from original documents supporting and opposing the presidents' positions. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe speak for themselves as they argue for their positions on the key political, social, and economic issues of their time in excerpts from primary sources. Excerpts from opposing positions on each issue give the presidents' critics a voice. An explanatory overview of each issue will help students to understand the argument and the context of the issue and to apply critical thinking skills to their understanding. The section on each president includes entries on 4-5 key issues of his administration, from the president's title at the beginning of Washington's administration to American Indian removal at the close of Monroe's term.
Primary documents include presidential memoirs, speeches, and letters, congressional speeches, Supreme Court decisions, newspaper editorials, and comments from prominent private citizens. An introductory overview of each president's administration provides a useful window through which to assess the specific debates and documents addressed. A timeline provides a chronological backdrop for the subject, and recommended readings following each section offer helpful direction for further study. Though the founding presidents remain revered today for their pioneering accomplishments in the early nation, this work reminds readers that the first executives faced ongoing opposition from members of the legislature, judiciary, and general public. Readers will gain a grounded understanding of the contested issues of the young nation and the way early decisions impacted our political system across time.
