Authors: Vathar Jagdishchandra , Bafna Harshal P , Indurkar Maya S , Ugale Appasahe 
Published: January 2025

Background:
The prevalence of overall tobacco use in Maharashtra has reduced by 4.8% from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS-1) to GATS-2, but it suggested a significant need in terms of awareness and enforcement of tobacco control laws along with strengthening of the institutional mechanism of District Tobacco Control Cell, sensitization, and capacity building of the stakeholders. Compliance assessments are one of the most uncomplicated and cost-effective instruments for measuring and shaping the progress of implementation. Hence, Government Dental College and Hospital Aurangabad along with the Director of health services, Maharashtra, Marathwada Gramin Vikas Sanstha, and The Union has conducted compliance Assessments of Sections 4, 5, 6-a, and 6-b, and 7, 8, and 9 of Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) Act in 8 districts, namely Nandurbar, Satara, Solapur, Pune, Kolhapur, Jalgaon, Sangli, and Dhule project districts of Maharashtra state.

Methodology:
A cross–sectional descriptive study was conducted in 8 districts of Maharashtra region and a Checklist pertaining to Section 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 were recorded.

Results:
Pune showed the highest Smoking signages with 75% coverage, but active smoking was also seen at 70% of public places with tobacco products being advertised at 55.71% of PoS. 75.56% of schools displayed the signage in their premises in Nandurbar, but the sale of tobacco products within 100 yards was seen highest in 78.57% of Pune schools, whereas in Satara, minors were found selling tobacco at 40% of locations.

Conclusion:
Implementation of COTPA remains ineffective and only to a certain amount, whereas stricter measures are needed to be taken by the authorities.

Published: January 2025

Introduction:
Proper plaque removal is necessary for oral hygiene. Since plaque is invisible, patients need to be educated about it by making it visible using disclosing solution. Due to limitations of disclosing solution, alternative methods are required to detect plaque and create awareness among patients. The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the ability of plaque detection of fluorescence plaque detecting system Q scan with the traditionally used plaque disclosing solution.

Methodology:
The study was conducted on 174 undergraduate students of a dental institute after obtaining informed consent. The plaque level was first assessed and recorded by Quigley-Hein plaque index in each patient using fluorescent Q SCAN plus device and later using disclosing solution. All the participants were then asked to fill the questionnaire about their experience of plaque detection method.

Results:
The results of the study showed that the plaque score recorded using Q scan plus fluorescent plaque detecting system was significantly lower than that of the plaque scores recorded by the applying disclosing solution (P ≤ 0.05). Most of the students preferred the use of Q-scan plus fluorescent plaque detecting system for the evaluation of plaque level.

Conclusion:
It can be concluded from the results of the study that the Q-scan plus fluorescent plaque detecting system although took lesser time and is easy to use and convenient method of plaque detection is not as sensitive as disclosing solution.

Published: January 2025

Introduction:
Cancer is a significant threat to public health both in the developed world and increasingly in developing countries, especially India. The prevalence of oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders has shown an increasing trend among the Indian population.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors associated with oral cancer among people residing in the field practice area of dental institution.

Methods:
This is an observational case–control study on 120 adults. Cases were selected from a hospital-based oral cancer registry, and controls were selected from the places where cases were residing. The histological report formed the eligibility criteria for cases registered from 2014 to 2018. Cases and controls were selected at a 1:3 ratio, and group matching was done. Data on exposure were obtained using a standardized tool and analyzed using R software for odds ratio (OR) estimates. The demographic, behavioral factors and tobacco use were compared between the two groups. The Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical variables and independent samples t-test for the continuous variables. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to investigate the association of demographic, clinical, and behavioral factors with the disease. ORs are presented with a 95% confidence interval. In individuals above 60 years, two logistic regression models were compared to investigate the improvement in modeling the association of the independent factors and tobacco use with the occurrence of the disease.

Results:
Among those more than 60 years of age, OR was higher for smoked form, current user, those using cigarettes, past user, using >5 times in a day, >20 years, and those using betel quid reported higher odds of oral cancer. Across all age groups, smokeless tobacco increased the odds of occurrence of oral cancer by 12 times compared to smoked form at >2 times. In more than 60 years of age group, our findings suggest that smokeless tobacco increased the odds of occurrence of oral cancer by more than 18 times compared to smoked form at >2 times. Being male did not seem to be associated with oral cancer across all age groups and those above 60 years of age.

Conclusions:
Smokeless tobacco appears to be associated more with the occurrence of oral cancer in adults of all ages and more than 60 years of age in rural population in India.

Authors: Divya Natarajan , Mallya Suma 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:

Gymnostachyum febrifugum Benth. from the family Acanthaceae, endemic to Western Ghats is used by folklore practitioners in managing fever. It is a perennial, stemless, tiny, scapigerous herb. The leaves of the plants are used to treat blisters over the tongue.

Materials and Methods:
The aerial part of the plant was authenticated and collected to carry out macroscopic, microscopic, phytochemical, physicochemical, and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) studies according to the standard protocol.

Results:
In the leaf transverse section (TS), beneath palisade parenchyma loosely arranged spongy parenchyma containing starch can be seen. TS of the stem revealed an epidermis with a covering type of trichomes. The presence of rosette crystals in the histology of leaves was found to be a distinct feature. Preliminary phytochemical tests of the aerial part of the plant show the presence of carbohydrates, phenol, flavonoids, and tannins. Physicochemical and HPTLC studies implied the purity and chemical identity of the drug.

Conclusion:
A standard illustrative monographic standard for G. febrifugum Benth. will serve as a comprehensive guide document to establish its identity, purity, and quality.

Authors: Piratheepkumar Rajadurai , Amal Wageesha ND. , Sivakanesan Ramiah 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Medicinal plants include a variety of active and helpful components, including flavonoids and phenolic compounds. As a result, they can act as powerful therapeutic agents, helping to improve the numerous processes associated with wound healing. Antioxidants are postulated to help control wound oxidative stress and thereby accelerate wound healing.

Materials and Methods:

Pun podi (PP) containing Datura metel (D. metel) L. fruit and sulfur as ingredients was prepared using the fruit collected in three quarters of a year. The total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC) were analyzed.

Results:
Based on the phytochemical analysis, notable distinctions (P < 0.005) were noted in TPC and TFC in both cold and hot water extracts when PP was prepared from fruits collected in three quarters of a year, using three different methods. Similarly, TAC exhibited significant variations (P < 0.005) in both cold and hot water extracts of PP, when prepared in three quarters of a year. Hot water extracts exhibited higher TPC, TAC, and TFC values compared to cold water extracts. The IC50 values of cold water extracts were higher than those of hot water extracts. Significant differences in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl values (P < 0.05) were observed in cold (P = 0.034) and hot (P = 0.009) water extracts of PP prepared from the fruits collected in three quarters of a year, except for the hot water extract of PP 1 (P = 0.155) and 3 (P = 0.059).

Conclusion:
Based on the findings of this study, PP prepared with raw sulfur exhibited significantly higher TPC, TFC, and TAC values compared to other PP samples.

Climate robustness as a spatial and societal challenge. Building blocks for legitimate adaptation strategies
The problem of climate change is high on the various political-administrative agendas, both national and international. At the same time the problem is full of uncertainties and controversies. Adaptation to climate change asks for adjustments in our spatial planning, but can also necessitate changes in the distribution of public and private responsibilities. A crucial question is how the legitimacy of adaptation measures can be organized in a context surrounded with uncertainties, controversies and conflicting interests. In this paper we introduce the central theme of this special issue and the various contributions.
Simultaan leren: beleidsleren in de keten van werk en inkomen

Simultaneous learning: The case of the chain of work and income
At the start of the century, the organisational fields belonging to the public employment service and social security, which previously were strictly institutionally separated with their rules and norms, have been brought under one umbrella or network structure in the Netherlands. We discuss how within this structure adaptive and reflexive forms of governance enhance information feedback and simultaneous learning processes both at the top and in the execution level of social security. Based upon document study, interviews and a case study of a sectoral experiment on integral service provision, we illustrate which learning elements occurred in bridging the planning and control cycle of New Public Management at the top with the horizontal mutual adjustment between organisations at decentral level.

Housing enclaves: promising or fearful perspective
In recent years the Netherlands have seen an upsurge of housing enclaves. The enclaves are often built as courtyards, castles, estates or apartment complexes. The growing number of people living in housing enclaves indicates a demand for this kind of living areas. However, the motivations behind the increasing popularity of housing enclaves are unclear. Is this a reflection of a long standing tradition of people staying in their own social group, seeking for belonging and sociability? Or does it fit in a global trend of searching for security in gated communities? This paper presents empirical research in the Netherlands that addresses peoples’ motives for living in housing enclaves, as well as the role of the local government in relation to housing enclaves. The research shows that residents of housing enclaves seek a pleasant living environment in the first place, while security is a less important motive. The study gives reason for planners and developers outside the US not to assume that fear of crime and a wish for security are the main reasons for moving to housing enclaves. Further, the study shows that housing enclaves are not completely privatized areas. Local government still has an important role to play.
De afkeer van volk en elite

Casus
In their book Diploma Democracy Mark Bovens and Anchrit Wille state that positions in the field of politics are dominantly held by people with higher levels of education. Because of diverging political preferences between citizens with a higher level of education and those with a lower one this results in a lack of representation of the latter, they argue. Van Oenen replies to this position from a perspective of social and political philosophy.
