Authors: Spiroski Milla , Igor Belenichev  
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Chronic gingivitis is the most common inflammatory periodontal disease, affecting up to 50% of adults. Low-power diode laser therapy (LLLT) has been proposed as an alternative treatment for chronic gingivitis.
Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of LLLT in the treatment of chronic gingivitis. Thirty patients with chronic gingivitis were randomly divided into two groups: the control group (n=15) and LLLT group (n=15). The LLLT group received LLLT therapy for 10 minutes per session, twice daily for 14 days. Plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GI), periodontal pocket depth (PPD), and degree of attachment loss (CAL) were measured before and after treatment.
Results: The LLLT group showed significant reductions in PI, GI, PPD, and CAL compared with the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). No side effects were reported during the study.
Conclusion: LLLT has been proven to be effective and safe in the treatment of chronic gingivitis. LLLT may be a useful alternative treatment option for patients with chronic gingivitis.

Authors: Byamba Daava 
Published: April 2024

Introduction: Composite dental filling materials are widely used for dental restoration because of their aesthetic properties and durability. However, the choice of appropriate filling material is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of nano-hybrid and microhybrid composite dental filling materials in a double-blind randomized clinical study at Ulaanbaatar Hospital, Mongolia.
Methods: A total of 60 patients with posterior dental caries were recruited and randomly assigned to receive nano-hybrid or microhybrid composite dental fillings. Patients were clinically evaluated at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after patching to assess patch retention, color change, sensitivity, and other complaints.
Results: The patch retention rates in the two groups were not significantly different (p>0.05). The color change in the nano-hybrid group was less than that in the microhybrid group (p<0.05). Tooth sensitivity in the two groups was not significantly different (p>0.05). No other complaints were reported by the patient.
Conclusion: Nano-hybrid and microhybrid composite dental filling materials have equivalent effectiveness and safety within a period of 24 months. However, nano-hybrid showed less color change compared to microhybrid.

Published: April 2024

It is globally recognized that climate change is increasingly affecting sustainable development. Given these challenges, it is imperative to incorporate climate change considerations as part of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), a tool used for sustainable development and planning strategies. The Thai government is in the process of developing river basin management schemes and updating SEA for all the river basins in the country. Considering climate change in future development planning processes would ensure that the outcomes enable more sustainable development. In this article, SEA reports for Thai river basins that have been completed were examined to determine if climate change was considered and how it was done. Analyses were conducted for each of the four phases of SEA, i.e., establishing the context for SEA, implementing SEA, informing, and influencing decisions, monitoring and evaluating plans. The checklist criteria were used to analyze climate change impacts in the river basin SEA reports, focusing specifically on climate change or global warming impacts that lead to serious disasters in the river basins. The results showed that 7 out of the 9 reports currently consider climate change impacts, but not in all phases of the SEA. The linkage of climate change impact analyses between the different phases was weak. There were only 4 reports that sufficiently considered climate change impacts in the second phase of the SEA. These reports used both qualitative and quantitative tools that were appropriate for predicting climate change impacts and with a link to the third and fourth phases. As a result, most of the SEA reports were insufficient in considering climate change impacts.

Como a pornografia e a hipersexualização exposta nos meios de comunicação se relaciona com a violência contra crianças e adolescentes.
Authors: De Freitas Osorio Soares e Soares Ana Carolina 
Published: April 2024

Nos últimos anos o tema “violência contra crianças e adolescentes”, ganhou mais notoriedade seja na mídia, produções científicas e até mesmo debate sociais, em razão de casos emblemáticos como do menino Henry Borel, contudo, este não é um assunto novo, tampouco crianças e adolescentes passaram a sofrer violência agora, isto acontece há muito tempo.

Crianças e adolescentes são submetidas as mais diversas formas de violências, sejam elas físicas, sexuais, psicológicas e emocionais, sendo praticadas majoritariamente por pessoas de estreito vínculo afetivo ou, até mesmo, por veiculos midiáticos como filmes, séries, matérias de revistas, músicas, propagandas, desfiles de moda.

O que o presente artigo demonstra, através de análise bibliografica, é que a pornografia e a hipersexualização de mulheres exposta nos meios de comunicação, como ocorreu no último catálogo lançado pela marca espanhola Balenciaga, podem ser vistas como uma forma de violência contra crianças e adolescentes.

Published: April 2024

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this work is to analyze the occupational morbidity of female agricultural workers of the Omsk region for the period 1957-2021.
Materials and methods: The material was a sample from the database of patients of the Center of Occupational Pathology of the Omsk region from 1957-2021, consisting of female workers of different professions and branches of agriculture. The analysis was carried out using methods of mathematical statistics in MS Excel 2021 program. Methods of descriptive statistics were applied: testing for normality of distribution, description of quantitative indicators by parametric and non-parametric methods. Percentages and absolute values were calculated for nominal and ordinal data. Quantitative data in independent groups were compared using the Kraskell-Wallis criterion with Dunn's posterior criterion. Pearson's χ2 was applied to analyze nominal data.
Results: The distribution of female workers with a first-time diagnosis of occupational disease by time period, by branch of agriculture is clearly shown. The average age and length of service at the time of establishing the connection between the disease and occupation were calculated, and the age structure of the patients was built up with calculation of percentages. Statistically significant correlations between branches, age and length of service were established, and the peculiarities of occupational pathology by branches of agriculture were noted. The share of unfavorable factors of industrial environment and labor process in the structure of diagnoses was estimated. The actual number of women with disabilities was calculated, the percentages of I-III disability groups were calculated, and the absence of statistically significant differences of women's disability in samples by branches of agro-industrial complex was established. The degree of loss of working capacity and the number of women who lost the ability to work were determined. The differences between the Omsk Oblast and other regions of Russia were determined.
Conclusion: The results of the analysis indicate the need for further improvement of preventive measures to reduce occupational morbidity in the Omsk region, further in-depth studies. The importance of labor protection of working women is confirmed.

Film, fortid, historie og 1864
Authors: Brunbech Peter Yding 
Published: April 2024

Giver det mening at tale om historisk ‘korrekthed’, når det kommer til TV-serier eller film? Det bliver heftigt diskuteret, om DR’s serie om 1864 giver et retvisende billede af fortiden – men er det overhovedet muligt at gøre med film- og TV-mediet?
Ole Bornedals dramaserie om krigen i 1864 får snart TV-præmiere: De preussiske bagladegeværer er ladt, og de danske Jens’er står klar ved Dannevirke, mens de kun venter på en lejlighed til at snige sig tilbage til Dybbøl, hvor vi alle ved at det sidste altafgørende slag skal stå. Ved siden af krigen på skærmen kommer der imidlertid til at køre en anden kamp. En kamp om Historien, om film og TV og om Bornedals TV-series ’historiske korrekthed’. De første slag er her allerede i gang.
Danskerne og den 9. april
Authors: Brunbech Peter Yding 
Published: April 2024

Ifølge danskerne er historie spændende og vigtigt, og unge mennesker skal lære om 9. april. Samtidig er modstandsbevægelsen ikke overraskende besættelsestidens store helte, mens politikerne har fået et mere blakket eftermæle. I øvrigt kan hele 89 % af danskerne udpege 9. april som dagen, hvor Danmark blev besat. Kun 46 % ved dog, hvorfor Tyskland invaderede landet den skæbnesvangre forårsmorgen i 1940.
HistorieLab har lavet en undersøgelse af danskernes holdning til 9. april 1940, for at sætte fokus på ikke blot hvad vi ved om historie, men også på vores holdning til aktuelle historiske begivenheder. Resultaterne er en blanding af både det forventelige og noget overraskende. Undersøgelsen omfatter godt 1000 personer og er foretaget blandt et repræsentativt udsnit af den voksne befolkning i marts 2015. Undersøgelsen forholder sig ikke direkte til den nye film om 9. april, og data er indsamlet før premieren.

Hvad sagde Rikke? - om elevernes læring i GYMuSKO pilotprojektet
Authors: Thorhauge Sally 
Published: April 2024

GYMuSKO står for gymnasium - museum - skole, hvilket var de tre typer af institutioner, som i skoleåret 2016-2017 gik sammen i triumvirater i pilotprojektet af samme navn. Hvert triumvirats folkeskolelærere, gymnasielærere og museumsinspektører samarbejdede om at udvikle og gennemføre et museumsbaseret undervisningsforløb, som folkeskoleelever og gymnasieelever arbejdede sammen om at gennemføre.
GYMuSKO pilotprojektet var en succes målt i forhold til dets formål. Triumvirat-samarbejdsformen blev afprøvet, og erfaringerne med de styrker og svagheder, som viste sig, vil blive brugt af deltagerne ved det egentlige GYMuSKO udviklingsprojekt (2017-2019). På samme måde blev folkeskole- og gymnasieelevernes samarbejde afprøvet som et nyskabende pædagogisk og didaktisk tiltag. Et delformål om at nytænke brobygning mellem folkeskole og gymnasium blev ikke konkretiseret som en udtalt faglig del af forløbene. Til gengæld bliver brobygning hovedfokus i det kommende GYMuSKO udviklingsprojekt.
Denne artikel har fokus på deltagende læreres og museumsinspektøreres syn på den læring, som de mente, at folkeskoleelever og gymnasieelever opnåede som følge af deres samarbejde.
Los materiales como posibilidad de un tercer espacio productor de interculturalidad en la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de Hidalgo (UICEH)
Authors: Peña Islas Dalia , Mesquida Peri 
Published: April 2024

La Universidad Intercultural del Estado de Hidalgo (UICEH) fue fundada en 2012 y está ubicada en el municipio de Tenango de Doria Hidalgo en México. Dentro del modelo de universidades interculturales que rige a estas Universidades Interculturales (UIS) se establece que este tipo de Instituciones deben incorporar los saberes de las comunidades indígenas donde inciden, en este caso la UICEH ubicada en la Región Otomí-Tepehua con la tarea de producir diferentes materiales que incorporan conocimientos indígenas y occidentales. En ese tenor, este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación de un material titulado: “Diálogo de saberes. Comunidades indígenas y universitarios”, cuyo objetivo principal es analizar cómo a través del material “Diálogo de saberes, comunidades indígenas y universitarios” se construyó un tercer espacio de producción de interculturalidades para los estudiantes de la UICEH. Para la elaboración de esta investigación, las metodologías utilizadas fueron la etnografía digital y la doble reflexividad.Entre algunos de los resultados obtenidos, se encontró que los estudiantes vivieron procesos de reflexividad en la producción de este material, lo que les permitió conformar una interculturalidad desde el saber de sus territorios, pero vinculado al saber universitario, estableciendo así “diálogos vivos”. y posicionarse ética y políticamente. Además, esta experiencia de producción de materiales como “tercer espacio productor de reflexividades e interculturalidades” podría ser una forma de generar “terceros espacios cómodos” para que los estudiantes de la UICEH aprendan a gestionar aprendizajes y reflexividades diversas, especialmente aquellas vinculadas a la recuperación de saberes comunitarios e indígenas.
