María Luisa Gabriela de Saboya as the Woman of the Apocalypse: Ceremony, Oratory, and Millenarianism in New Spain, 1701-1714
Authors: Ramos Frances L. 
Published: November 2023

Organizers of public commemorations held in early eighteenth-century New Spain during the War of the Spanish Succession characterized Philip V as a defender of the faith and queen consort Maria Luisa Gabriela de Saboya and crown prince Luis I as agents of providence. An examination of a corpus of sermons given between 1707 and 1710 reveals that orators assured novohispanos that the birth of Luis I of Spain would inaugurate a messianic age, marked by fecundity and prosperity. The queen, moreover, put the rebirth of the empire in motion before her death. As various orators suggested, her role in bringing about a sort of «Bourbon millennium» had been foretold in the Book of Revelation. In cities throughout New Spain, orators characterized the queen as the fecund vehicle of God’s providence, or the Woman of the Apocalypse, a figure associated with the Immaculate Conception. As the mother of Spain’s messiah, the queen assured the prosperous future of the empire.

BACKGROUND: Worldwide oral diseases are a major public health problem among children. Oral health education directed at major aetiological factors such as diet, oral hygiene and dental clinic attendance has helped to reduce the burden of oral diseases in children. Folklore, which includes folktales, puppet shows, dramas, folk music, and dance, appears to be a promising tool that could gain and engage young people's interest. Traditional folktale in school-based health education in Nigeria has not yet undergone much research or evaluation.
AIM: This paper aims to report how a local traditional folktale for oral health education among primary school pupils was developed with a view to providing information on how the folktale can be developed in other languages as well as how other oral health education folktales can be developed.
METHOD: Oral health professionals, linguist and theater arts experts from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, developed a traditional folktale represented on a graphically designed banner (comic strips) for use as an oral health education tool for primary school pupils. Developing the tool involved certain processes which were validated and evaluated at every step. These processes included developing oral health messages on adequate dietary and oral hygiene practices as well as good dental clinic attendance. The messages were used to develop a folktale using improvisation circle method.
RESULTS: A banner of 6 feet by 4 feet containing graphically designed illustrations (comic strips) of the traditional folktale was developed. The message of which was basically diet, oral hygiene and dental clinic attendance instructions aimed at improving the attitude and practice of primary school pupils in Ibadan to oral health. The folktale was primarily developed in English language, the official language in Nigeria, then translated to Yoruba, the indigenous language of the people of Ibadan. Many skills such as team-building, effective communication and leadership were developed from the many phases and meetings required in the development of the folktale.
CONCLUSIONS: The early years are the formative years. Hence developing a tool to improve the oral health education of children using traditional folktale is a valuable and culturally advantageous project which has substantial future potentials.

Prevalence of Dental Caries and Predisposing Factors in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of
Port Harcourt
Background: Dental caries is a common oral health disease of global interest. The burden of thedisease and predisposing factors must be determined before a preventive programme could bedesigned, but relevant data from community-based studies are not common in Rivers State.Aims and Objectives: This study was designed to determine the prevalence and predisposing factorsto caries development in the Local Government Area (LGA).Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out among adultresidents in Obio-Akpor LGA of Rivers State. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was usedto collect personal data and caries predisposing factors while oral examination was carried out todetermine caries severity and oral hygiene status using DMFT and OHI-S indexes respectively. Thesample size (240) was determined using the formula for descriptive studies.Results: The mean (SD) age was 32(±1.113) years. Most of the participants were married, Ikwerres,skilled workers, earn &lt;100dollar and most had secondary education. Most seldom/never use tobaccoproducts. Most ate fresh fruits every day or several times a week and most also ate cariogenic dietevery day or several times a day. Most use fluoride toothpaste once a day and most do not use floss.Most have never seen a dentist. The prevalence of untreated caries was 64.2%. DMFT score=0.91(very low). The OHI-S = 3.3. (&gt;3 indicates poor OHI).Conclusions: The DMFT index was low while OHI-S was high. Poor oral hygiene status, oralhealthcare utilization and cariogenic diets predisposed the participants to caries.Key words: Caries, prevalence, predisposing factors, prevention
Self-Reported Halitosis and Associated Factors Among Medical and Dental Students of a Tertiary Institution in Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: Alade Grace , Ezebunwa CF 
Published: November 2023

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of self-reported halitosis and associated factors among medical and dental students of the university of Port Harcourt.
Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, conducted among medical and dental undergraduate students of the University of Port-Harcourt (UPH), Rivers State. Consent was obtained from each participant before being enrolled into the study. Data was collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was grouped into four (4) sections; Section A collected demographical information (gender, age, course and level), section B collected information on self-reported halitosis and self-care, section C collected information on oral hygiene practices and section D collected information on associated factors.
Data collected was analysed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 (IBM SPSS Armonk, New York) software for Windows. Categorical variables were expressed as frequencies with accompanying percentages. Differences between groups were compared using the Chi-square tests for categorical variables. All statistical significances were assumed at p values <0.05.
Results: A total of 248 medical and dental students were recruited as study participants. The age range was 15-30 years, with a mean age of 22.9 years. The male-to-female ratio is 1.13:1. The prevalence of self-reported halitosis among the study participants was 26%, with the worse experience being in the morning (31.1%). The younger age group reported more halitosis compared to the older age group (p=0.016). More females (34.5%) significantly reported halitosis compared to males (18.2%) [p=0.003]. The occurrence of self-reported halitosis also decreases with an increase in the level of study (p=0.003). Participants that brush thrice a day, and do not use toothbrushes and toothpaste, claim to have halitosis. The majority of the participants who claimed to have dry mouth (76.5%), coated tongue (80.6%) and have a history of smoking (58.3%), reported the presence of halitosis. The majority of participants who take alcohol, claimed not to have halitosis however, this finding is not statistically significant. Seventy-three (29.4%) of the respondents instituted self-care for halitosis in the form of chewing gums (13.71%), minty candy (8.06%), mouth-washes (6.45%), while 1.21% use other options such as compulsive toothbrushing.
Conclusion: Self-reported halitosis was found among 26% of participants. Halitosis occurred more in females and was significantly associated with dry mouth, coated tongue and smoking. 29.4% of the participants instituted self-care to mask their halitosis.

Published: November 2023

Background: Surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars is commonly associated with post-operative inflammatory sequelae, causing distress to patients and affecting their quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on post-operative pain, facial swelling, and trismus following mandibular third molar surgery.
Methods: In this single-blinded prospective randomized controlled trial, 90 participants aged 18-35 years were enrolled. Eligible patients underwent surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molars under local anesthesia between October 2017 and June 2018 at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery clinic of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Participants were randomly assigned to either the PRF group or the non-PRF group. PRF was placed in the extraction socket of the PRF group, while the non-PRF group received a blood clot. Post-operative pain, facial swelling, and trismus were measured as outcomes. Longitudinal data analysis using generalized estimating equations was employed, adjusting for confounding factors, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
Results: The PRF group exhibited significantly lower pain scores (3.02 mm; p < 0.001), reduced facial swelling (0.55%; p = 0.01), and decreased trismus (4.52%; p = 0.05) compared to the non-PRF group.
Conclusion: Placement of PRF in the extraction socket following mandibular third molar surgery resulted in decreased post-operative pain, facial swelling, and trismus. These findings suggest that PRF may have a beneficial impact on the inflammatory outcomes of third molar surgeries.
Unique Culinary Success in Medan City as a Tourism Destination
Authors: Elfitra Desy Surya  
Published: November 2023

This essay analyzes and discusses the relationship between distinctive local cuisine and destination branding, utilizing consumer satisfaction as a mediating factor. Design, methodology, and approach: A nonprobability sampling technique combined with the judgemental sampling method was employed for the research sampling. One hundred forty tourists who had twice recently visited Medan City participated in the survey. The data were analyzed using SMART PLS and path analysis. Research findings: The Results revealed that while customer satisfaction greatly impacted branding destination, Unique Local Food considerably impacted customer joy. Likewise, exceptional regional cuisine significantly impacts destination branding by making tourists happy. The empirical results of this study offer strong support for the proposed Path analysis, which aims to take distinctive local food, customer satisfaction, and branding destinations into account simultaneously. Even though previous studies have not thoroughly explained the connection between factors, this is still the case. Practitioners/Policy Implications: The study suggests that Medan can effectively promote and advertise its image and cultural tourism performance since travelers know it as a city with a distinct culinary scene, leaving solid impressions. According to a study, Medan visitors do not form emotional bonds over the cuisine. Research Limitations/Implications: The researchers encountered challenges when collecting data for this study because most visitors were local tourists. Few domestic and international tourists were present simultaneously, making it difficult to distribute the questionnaire evenly.
Besiddet, strukturel eller post-strukturel?

I daglig tale benytter vi ofte begrebet ‘magt’ som om det havde en stabil og uforanderlig betydning, som alle forstår og er enige om. Men på mange måder kan det hævdes, at begrebet er det, man med Laclau og Mouffe kan kalde ‘en flydende betegner’: Et begreb, der har ændret betydning over tid og som i dag benyttes med flere betydninger. I daglig omgang giver det sjældent anledning til problemer. Men anderledes forholder det sig, når begrebet indgår i akademisk arbejde, hvor præcise begrebsdefinitioner og -anvendelser er væsentlige. Ofte anvendes ‘magt’ således som en analytisk kategori, hvilket understreger betydningen af en præcis definition og konsekvent brug. Dertil kommer, at forskellige forståelser af ‘magt’ rummer forskellige analytiske (og praktiske) potentialer, hvilket vil sige, at den valgte definition har afgørende betydning for, hvilke konklusioner, der kan drages – i teori og i praksis.
I artiklen vil tre forskellige forståelser af ‘magt’, der er i spil i humanistisk og sam- fundsvidenskabelig forskning, blive diskuteret. Dette vil ske med udgangspunkt i repræsentanter for tilgangene, samt i eksempler på, hvad de forskellige tilgange kan bidrage med som analytiske kategorier og som tilgange til forståelser af praksis.
A New Ridgely-Nevitt Regression-Based Computational Tool for Resistance and Power Predictions for Trawlers
Authors: Xhaferaj Blenard 
Published: November 2023

This paper aims to present the architecture and the prediction accuracy of a new computational procedure of the “Ship Power V 1.0” software based on the Ridgely–Nevitt regression, applied to hull resistance predictions for Ridgely-Nevitt series trawlers. The Ridgely-Nevitt series is an important series of trawlers developed by and tested at the Webb Institute. Experimental resistance data have also been presented in the form of a regression model used to develop a new procedure of the “Ship Power V 1.0” software. Furthermore, this new procedure was completely harmonized with other software procedures based on the Holtrop and Van Oortmerssen evaluation methods. Although the mathematical formulation of the Ridgely-Nevitt regression model allows the assessment of the residual resistance coefficient of only nine values from the speed-length ratio, the implementation of an interpolation procedure made possible resistance predictions for any speeds from the acceptable speed-length ratio range. Resistance prediction accuracy improvement introduced by the new procedure was proven by the validation of calculation results not only against experimental data but also against the prediction results of other software procedures for three hulls from the Ridgely-Nevitt fishing vessel series. MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) values calculated against experimental data for the analyzed models were 3.26, 1.71, and 3.36, respectively. Prediction result comparisons of the Ridgely-Nevitt regression-based “Ship Power V 1.0” computational procedure and the experimental data and predictions of other computational procedures performed on three hulls from the Ridgely-Nevitt series have shown a substantial improvement in prediction accuracy.
Evaluation of the Qualification of Dynamic Positioning Operators Using Analytic Hierarchy Process
Authors: Sahin Tugfan , Bolat Pelin 
Published: November 2023

Offshore vessel operations are always important for the industry as the consequences of incidents related to dynamic positioning systems may affect people, cargo, vessels, and the environment. The aim of this paper is to determine the qualification factors and improve the competency standards of Dynamic Positioning Operators (DPOs). The Analytic Hierarchy Process method has been used for this study by processing expert views of senior operators who have at least fifteen years of dynamic positioning experience. The results show that quality of trainer, importance of sea time collected after achieving a full DPO certificate, experience with different types of DP systems, and practical knowledge are defined as the most important factors to becoming a qualified dynamic positioning operator. Besides, situational awareness of DP operators is considered another important factor to reduce possible dynamic positioning incidents. In conclusion, this study provides the following recommendations: promote incentive programmes in order to appeal to potential trainers, increase the length of minimum required sea time after a simulator course, increase the required practical time onboard in lieu of transferring excessive active sea time to further stages, companies to provide familiarisation courses for operators regarding the equipment onboard prior to joining the vessel for the first time, and promote online training programmes to improve the situational awareness of operators. By using these recommendations, there is a possibility to improve the qualification of DP operators and reduce incidents related to dynamic positioning operations. Last but not least, this research can also be used as a reference in the offshore industry for the training of Dynamic Positioning Operators (DPOs).
