Authors: Dindarian Sina , Abedi Samira , Khalaji Naser , Pourjabali Masoumeh 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are a potential ultraviolet (UV) radiation source. Skin exposure to UV radiation induces inflammation and DNA damage. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the disorders caused by light from CFLs and potential protective impacts of curcumin on rat skin.

Methods:
We divided 24 male rats into three groups of 8: control group (I), without curcumin and CFLs exposure; fluorescent group (II), treated with 12 h exposure to CFLs for 15 days; and fluorescent with curcumin group (III), treated with 12 h CFLs exposure in addition to injection of curcumin 20 mg/kg, IP, daily for 15 days (group III). Their tumor necrosis factor-ɑ (TNF-?) levels were measured. Finally, the skins underwent H?and?E and TUNEL staining. ɑ) levels were measured. Finally, the skins underwent H and E and TUNEL staining.

Results:
Levels of TNF-ɑ in groups I, II, and III were 13.7 ± 0.46 ng/ml, 16.3 ± 0.48 ng/ml, and 14.1 ± 0.76 ng/ml, respectively. The difference between the groups I and II and also the groups II and III was meaningful (P < 0.0001). Apoptotic cells and epidermal hyperplasia were observed in group II. Administration of curcumin decreased inflammatory infiltrations and apoptotic cells in group III.

Conclusions:
Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, curcumin has protective impact on inflammatory complications of exposure to UV radiation.

Social Practice and Portrayal of Women in the Choice of Cosmetic Products in Lagos Nigeria
Authors: Adebola Sarah O. Michael , Mberia Prof. Hellen , Mutua Dr. Joan 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of socio-cultural practice features and portrayal of women in the choice of cosmetic products in Lagos Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: The study examined social practice features and portrayal of women in choice of cosmetic products in Lagos Nigeria using a mixed method design. The study adopted purposive sampling because this study was only to investigate cosmetic product advertisements and involved only women. The data were collected from seven advertisements of popularly used cosmetic products from company websites and transcribed to ease the process of analysis. They were then analyzed based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework of Critical Discourse Analysis. Data for the quantitative aspect data was collected using a questionnaire based on Likert-type scale questions ranging from 1-5 to capture the variables and analysed using descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics as correlation analysis and regression analysis through SPSS and presented in tables.
Findings: The findings indicate that socio-cultural practice features significantly predicted portrayal of women in the choice of cosmetic products as the result shows direct positive of social-cultural practice. Most of the portrayal of women tend to persuade the women on a certain form of beauty despite the Nigerian culture. As a result, many people believe what the advertisement says and choose to see themselves in the light of these advertisements. This is part of the effect on social change created by advertisements in the society. Thus, advertisers tend to change the way society views beauty by creating a new beauty ideology and a new standard of beauty derived from what their advertisement says.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study was guided by CDA and the Magic of Meaning theory. Results show that there is a statistically significant relationship between the influence of socio-cultural practice features and the portrayal of women in the choice of cosmetic products. Using CDA, this indicates some social wrongs in the advertisements including the issue of self- esteem in women thereby eroding confidence of the consumers; the demand for women to continually look attractive through these products and compulsive impulse to buy these products. Issues of self-esteem in women are raised thus, cosmetic companies should learn to advertise their products with less manipulative words that will be more societally acceptable. Also, further research is recommended since advertising has an essential role in society.
EXPLORING HYBRID MASCULINITIES OF THE MALE CHARACTERS IN OKPEWHO’S THE LAST DUTY
Authors: TEIKO NII OKAIN 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper explores the concept of failed hegemonic masculinity to exact its full benefit from the assumed patriarchal privileges that African men ascribe to with intent of subjugating femininity. The failure of both patriarchy and masculinity to accentuate their hold unto these privileges results in a cataclysmic disfigured form of subordinated masculinities that manifest in a hybridism of masculinities. Utilizing Okpewho’s novel, The Last Duty, this paper examines how the novelist’s portraiture of the male characters in the novel reveals a bastardized patriarchy strangled to the point of suffocation; its relevance to society is seen in the infirmary of hopelessness and nothingness. The salvaging element, the paper argues, is to view the male characters through the lenses of hybrid masculinities which interpret the diverse identity projects of patriarchy in gender studies as ephemeral.
PROJETO DE ENSINO EM PEDAGOGIA-LICENCIATURA
Authors: Muller Daiane Valéria 
Published: December 2023

A Educação Infantil esta cada dia ganhando um espaço de interesse na sociedade, uma vez que as crianças estão sendo inseridas na Educação Infantil cada vez mais cedo por motivos diversos.
Os jogos e brincadeiras desempenham um papel fundamental na educação infantil, pois proporcionam uma série de benefícios cognitivos, sociais e emocionais às crianças. O problema reside no fato de que, em muitos casos, o sistema educacional ainda subestima a importância dessas atividades lúdicas, priorizando o ensino formal desde cedo (Lira, 2014). Isso pode resultar em crianças menos motivadas, com dificuldades de concentração e menor capacidade de interação social. Portanto, é crucial justificar a inclusão de jogos e brincadeiras na educação infantil, uma vez que essas atividades contribuem significativamente para o desenvolvimento integral da criança.

Abstract. The amount and the phase of cold-season precipitation accumulating in the upper Saint John River (SJR) basin are critical factors in determining spring runoff, ice jams, and flooding. To study the impact of winter and spring storms on the snowpack in the upper SJR basin, the Saint John River Experiment on Cold Season Storms (SAJESS) was conducted during winter–spring 2020–2021. Here, we provide an overview of the SAJESS study area, field campaign, and data collected. The upper SJR basin represents 41 % of the entire SJR watershed and encompasses parts of the US state of Maine and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick. In early December 2020, meteorological instruments were co-located with an Environment and Climate Change Canada station near Edmundston, New Brunswick. This included a separate weather station for measuring standard meteorological variables, an optical disdrometer, and a micro rain radar. This instrumentation was augmented during an intensive observation period that also included upper-air soundings, surface weather observations, a multi-angle snowflake camera, and macrophotography of solid hydrometeors throughout March and April 2021. During the study, the region experienced a lower-than-average snowpack that peaked at ∼ 65 cm, with a total of 287 mm of precipitation (liquid-equivalent) falling between December 2020 and April 2021, a 21 % lower amount of precipitation than the climatological normal. Observers were present for 13 storms during which they conducted 183 h of precipitation observations and took more than 4000 images of hydrometeors. The inclusion of local volunteers and schools provided an additional 1700 measurements of precipitation amounts across the area. The resulting datasets are publicly available from the Federated Research Data Repository at https://doi.org/10.20383/103.0591 (Thompson et al., 2023). We also include a synopsis of the data management plan and a brief assessment of the rewards and challenges of conducting the field campaign and utilizing community volunteers for citizen science.

O objetivo nessa revisão da literatura foi avaliar a influência das fontes de luz emitidas por diodo (LEDs) de segunda e terceira geração sobre a dureza de compósitos restauradores. Nas bases de dados PubMed e Google Scholar foram pré-selecionados 239 artigos na língua inglesa entre os anos de 2010 e 2020, utilizando os termos: lightcuring, LED light sources, and dental LEDs. dos 239 artigos inicialmente selecionados, 37 artigos foram avaliados devido aos critérios de inclusão/exclusão no estudo. Vários estudos apontaram diferenças importantes na dureza dos compósitos restauradores testados, tanto na superfície de topo quanto na base. No entanto, essas diferenças estavam mais associadas à características como: estado de conservação do LED, irradiância, tempo de ativação, espectro de emissão dos aparelhos e sua compatibilidade ao fotoiniciador presente no compósito. Assim, podemos considerar que o monitoramento das condições do aparelho, e a escolha correta da fonte de luz de acordo com o compósito a ser utilizado são essenciais para maximizar a dureza dos compósitos restauradores, pois embora os aparelhos de terceira geração sejam preferencialmente indicados para compósitos com fotoiniciadores alternativos, os aparelhos que emitem luz azul apresentam vantagens quando o compósito é ativado apenas pela Canforoquinona.
Tampão apical em dentes adjacentes à fissura labiopalatina

Published: December 2023

Objetivos: Revisar a literatura sobre o uso do tampão apical em dentes com rizogênese incompleta adjacentes às fissuras labiopalatinas, através de buscas nas principais bases de dados nacionais e internacionais usando descritores específicos. Revisão de literatura: a fissura labiopalatina (FLP) é a anomalia congênita mais comum diagnosticada na região craniofacial e resulta de falhas na coalescência anatômica dos processos faciais, entre a 4ª e a 12ª semana da gestação. Dentre outras alterações sistêmicas e locais, as anormalidades dentárias e esqueléticas ocorrem com frequência nas regiões afetadas pela FLP. Em alguns casos, não ocorre a formação completa da raiz dentária e consequentemente do forame apical de dentes adjacentes à FLP. Necrose pulpar e lesões irreversíveis à polpa ocorrem com frequência após processos agressores como cárie e traumatismos dentários e o tratamento endodôntico pode ser necessário. Nestas condições, há o risco de extravasamento do material obturador nos tecidos periapicais, podendo ocorrer reações inflamatórias. Para a realização da adequada obturação pode ser utilizado a manobra do tampão apical que se fundamenta na aplicação de um material biocompatível, geralmente o Agregado Trióxido Mineral (MTA), para vedar a região apical, como uma barreira mecânica, evitando a disseminação de processos infecciosos que estejam no dente/periápice, preservando adequadamente os dentes e periodonto adjacente à área de FLP. Considerações finais: É necessário difundir conhecimento sobre o tratamento odontológico nos indivíduos com FLP, para que estes tenham mais acesso aos tratamentos adequados, em prol de oferecer mais qualidade na reabilitação bucal.
