Effectiveness of an Educational Program on Practice Change of Nurses Regarding Children with Moderate-To-Severe Dehydration Under Five Years
Authors: Ibrahim Mohammed Ismael , Yahya Nizar Bakir 
Published: June 2023

Dehydration is a major factor in both illness and mortality in children. Nurses play a vital role in managing dehydration. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an educational program on nurses’ clinical practice on patients with moderate to severe dehydration. In this quasi-experimental study design, we divided 48 nurses into two groups equally: the experimental group was exposed to the educational program; the control group was not exposed to the educational program in Duhok and Zakho Cities/Iraqi Kurdistan (March 6, - June 12, 2022). The mean score of practice of the experimental group was significantly higher compared to the control group at the posttest step (27.71 vs. 2029; P<0.0001) and the second follow-up (26.63 vs. 20.96; P<0.0001). The experimental group had a significantly higher correct practice of dehydration practice than the children at the post-test and the second follow-up. The study showed that the level of practice score was significantly increased from the pretest to the posttest (20.96 vs. 20.29; p=0.0053) and from the posttest to the second follow-up (20.96 vs. 20.29; P=0.0174) in the control group. However, the practice level was significantly increased from the baseline to the posttest and posttest 2 in the experimental groups. The nurses in the surgical and medical wards had significantly higher practice scores compared to those in the NICU; 28.0 and 27.71 vs. 24.67, respectively. The educational program is an effective method to increase the practice of nurses in caring the children with moderate-severe dehydration.
Alexander was great, but Rome is greater: Considering Livy's depiction of Alexander
Authors: Overtoom Nikolaus Leo 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe Romans were conquerors, and it is unsurprising that they looked favorably upon the greatest conqueror of antiquity, Alexander the Great. In Livy's Ab Urbe Condita, there are several passages in which he uses the image of Alexander to help craft his own concept of Rome's place within the wider Hellenistic world, especially within the eastern Mediterranean. Livy, despite his generally positive opinion of Alexander, ultimately created scenarios where he portrayed the Romans as superior to the Macedonian king, first, because of the primary focus of Livy's history, namely the rise of Rome to Mediterranean dominance, and second, because of the political atmosphere in which Livy was writing, namely the complete submission of the Mediterranean basin under Augustus' empire. Although scattered throughout Livy's extensive writing, when analyzed together these passages illustrate a persistent and connected motif that influences Livy's larger narrative: Alexander was great, but Rome is greater.
Side-friction impacts on urban streets performance in divided and undivided streets
Authors: Mansour Ali Imad , AL-Jameel Hamid Athab Eedan 
Published: June 2023

AbstractSide friction refers to combined variables indicating the degree of interaction between the activities and the traffic stream. The condition worsens when the transport demand and road-side activities increase, leading to inefficient traffic performance. This study has been focused on evaluating side friction impacts in terms of capacity and speed. Four links divided and undivided streets in Al-Najaf City, Iraq, were selected and on-street parking, pedestrian activities, entry-exit maneuvers, and temporary parking vehicles are considered as side friction elements. The results show about a 47% reduction in speed and about a 49% reduction in the capacity at a very high side friction level. Finally, a speed-predicting model has been developed for predicting the speed under side friction impacts.
There Is a Tide in the Affairs of Women: The Biology of Menstruation in Levitical (and Israelite) Thought
Authors: Whitekettle Richard 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article examines the Levitical/priestly understanding of the biology of menstruation. In particular, it examines the Levitical/priestly legists’ typology of vaginal discharging, as well as their understanding of the length of normally occurring menstrual cycles, the anatomy and physiology of vaginal discharging, the homologous relationship between the womb and the primeval world, the biological process that took place during the seven-day span of the menstrual state, and menarche and menopause. It is possible that some or all of what is presented here as the Levitical/priestly understanding of the biology of menstruation was the understanding of the Israelites in general.
Re-remembering Hagar: Reading the Σάρξ in Galatians with Hortense Spillers
Authors: Gabrielle Haley 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The harmful legacy of Paul’s image of σάρξ (“flesh”) demands a rethinking of the term’s meaning in the allegory of Hagar in Gal 4:21–5:1. Σάρξ has been viewed as a spiritualized metaphor for sin, a connection that has perpetuated a racist sanction of slavery and a gendered, sexualized condemnation of materiality. In dialogue with Hortense Spillers’s paradigm-shifting notion of the flesh, I explore the powerful and painful images in this passage with attention to their embodied, social, and structural elements. In Spillers’s formulation, the flesh is a locus of the structural dispossession, dehumanization, and ungendering of African and African American people under the logics of American slavery, whereas the body is a locus of white people’s violent advantage. I propose that in Galatians Paul’s σάρξ indicates vulnerability and wounding, in contrast to the security indicated by the image of the πνɛῦμα (“spirit”). Galatians associates Hagar and Ishmael with the σάρξ, not to distance this enslaved family from the divine but rather to call attention to the social disenfranchisement of both mother and son.
Reading Slavery in the Epistle of Jude
Authors: Bonar Chance E. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The Epistle of Jude has been examined by biblical scholars for a variety of reasons in recent decades, but one still underexplored interpretative avenue is Jude’s treatment of enslavement. In this article, I argue that Jude pulls from the same conceptual toolbox as many other texts of the Roman republican and imperial eras in its depiction of believers as enslaved people (δοῦλοι) and Jesus as an enslaver (κύριος; δɛσπότης). After placing these three terms in the context of ancient enslavement, I offer three examples of Jude’s participation in a broader discourse of enslavement: (1) the importance of loyalty and disloyalty to Jesus the κύριος; (2) the capability of the enslaver to harm and control the bodies of the enslaved, and (3) the presumption of the benevolence of the κύριος in offering mercy. This reading of Jude highlights how deeply embedded even a short New Testament text can be in the vocabulary, stereotypes, and normalization of violence of Roman enslavement.
John of Patmos and the Appeal of an Exotic Apocalypse
Authors: Smith Daniel Charles 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article situates John of Patmos, the author of the New Testament Apocalypse of John, as an exotic ritual expert within the religious landscape of the Roman East. Through comparison with local ritual specialists of the Egyptian gods Isis and Sarapis, I argue that John similarly deploys his own culturally constructed and imperially mediated foreignness to demonstrate the exotic appeal of his Judean God among the assemblies in the cities of western Asia Minor. I consider the role of ritual experts at the Isis sanctuary in Priene and the competing Sarapeia on Delos to contextualize Revelation’s presentation of John as the only “true” expert among several “false” competitors and an authentic representative of his exotic Judean God.

Questionnaire to assess the significance of history taking in assessment of otitis media with effusion in children
Authors: AlQaed Reem Mohamed , Salman Ayman , Aljawder Salman Mohamed , Riskalla Andrew Nabil 
Published: June 2023

Background: There is a high prevalence of Otitis media with effusion (OME) with diagnoses of least 50% of children under the age of one, and 60% of children under the age of two. Complications have a significant impact on a child’s quality of life including hearing impairment, language acquisition delay, declining school performance, and behavioral problems. The objective of the study is to develop and test the reliability of a simple questionnaire based on common complaints given by caregivers of children with OME.
Methods: 100 patients were included from the ENT Clinic at King Hamad University Hospital and categorized into preschool age (1-4 years) and School age (5-15 years). A bilingual binary questionnaire was developed (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.89).
Results: There were 22 preschool age patients, and 78 school age patients. Six complaints were significant where the child does not respond to name calling (p=0.031), needs to raise the TV volume (p=0.000), occasionally talks loudly (p=0.003), uses verbal communication for their needs (p=0.000), has episodes of clumsiness and dizziness (p=0.000), and doesn’t pronounce words correctly according to their age (p=0.008).
Conclusions: Questionnaires based on complaints can aid the diagnosis of OME as caregiver’s assessment is often limited.

Authors: Srinivas C. V. , Goel Tanubha 
Published: June 2023

Background: Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure which consists of making an incision on the anterior aspect of the neck and opening a direct airway through an incision in the trachea.
Methods: This was a prospective study which included 50 patients who underwent tracheostomy between September 2020 to April 2022. Our study was aimed to report the most common indications, complications, outcomes in tracheostomised patients. For evaluation of patients undergoing tracheostomy, a database was created which included demographic profile of the patient such as age, gender, diagnosis as well as indication, complications which were divided into early, intermediate and late complications and day of decannulation.
Results: Among 50 patients, 41 (82%) were males and 9(18%) patients were females. The age of the patients included in this study ranged from 20 to 80 years. Majority were in age group between 40 to 60 years (48%). Out of 50 patients, 39 (78%) patients underwent tracheostomy due to prolonged intubation (CVA, head injury, organophosphorus poisoning, respiratory failure), 11 (22%) for upper airway obstruction due to malignancy.
Conclusions: In this study 40 to 60 years was the most common age group for which tracheostomy was done. It was done more in males. Most common indication for tracheostomy was prolonged ventilation followed by malignancy. Incidence of complications was 76%. Most common early complication observed was haemorrhage, most common intermediate complication was tube blockage and most common late complication was tracheoesophageal fistula. Mortality occurred in 6 patients. To conclude even today tracheostomy remains the lifesaving procedure and complications of tracheostomy are largely preventable.

Authors: Bakshi Tanishka , Kelkar Prasad , Toshniwal Saket 
Published: June 2023

Background: Nasal obstruction, snoring, mouth breathing, ear ache is some of the most common problems encountered in pediatric otorhinolaryngological practice. The most common cause for the above symptoms is adenoid hypertrophy.
Methods: Patients with age group of 4-16 years with symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy such as snoring, mouth breathing, ear ache and adenoid hypertrophy confirmed by Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy and Radiological Investigations were included. Previous H/o surgery for adenoidectomy, bleeding disorders, cases with cleft palate or previous H/o cleft palate repair neuromuscular / craniofacial anomalies were excluded.
Results: 3.10 mean grade was seen among study participants, with 39% of children having Grade 4 adenoids, 35% having Grade 3 adenoids, and 26% having Grade 2 adenoids. Snoring, nasal obstruction, and breathing scores all decreased statistically significantly.
Conclusions: A microdebrider-assisted adenoidectomy has shown to provide full clearance with only a minor increase in haemorrhage and process time.

Published: June 2023

Background: Numerous grafting materials have been applied for repair of tympanic membrane (TM) in chronic otitis media patients. This study aimed to compare the anatomical and audiological results of temporalis fascia alone versus reinforced sliced cartilage in type 1 tympanoplasty.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 50 patients of age group 15-55 years. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, each group having 25 patients. In group I patients under went type I tympanoplasty with temporalis muscle fascia alone and group II patients with sliced tragal cartilage reinforced to temporalis fascia. Post operatively all patients were followed on 30th, 60th and 90th day. In the last follow up, assessment of graft uptake was done and pure-tone audiometry was performed to evaluate air-bone gap closure. The data so obtained were collected and analysed using appropriate statistical tests.
Results: Overall graft uptake rate in group I (TF alone) was 84%, whereas in group II (TF+ reinforced sliced cartilage) was 92% (p=0.5). The mean post op ABG improved to 16.17±6.26 dB and 16.56±5.25 dB respectively in group I and II. There was significant hearing improvement in each group but no statistical significant difference was observed in post-op ABG between the two groups.
Conclusions: Reinforced sliced tragal cartilage technique is a good alternative to temporalis fascia alone in terms of graft uptake and prevention of disease recurrence, especially for large and subtotal perforations but additive effect of cartilage slicing in hearing gain still remains little controversial.

: The practice of oral hygiene needs to be strengthened during adolescence, a time when there is a significant change in habits, leading to an increase in the prevalence of tooth decay associated with less frequent brushing. The propose of the study is to determine the oral hygiene status in 5-15-year-old children, the lack of the previous data in this field is one the reasons for conducting this research so that we can provide accurate statistics data in Afghanistan.: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between 5-15-year-old in 431 children of stomatology national hospital of Kabul city. Sample size was selected randomly from both gender group which were 161 males and 270 females. Oral hygiene status was assessed by using simplified-oral hygiene index. Gingival index (loe and silness, 1963) was used for assessing gingival status. dmf and DMF for decayed, missed and filled teeth in primary and permanent dentition used to assess the prevalence of dental caries. Statistical analysis done by SPSS .20.21.2% of children had good oral hygiene status, 65.2% fair oral hygiene and 13.6% had poor oral hygiene. The mean OHI-S was 2.4±1.19. There is no Statistical significant difference between gender and oral hygiene status (p&#60;0.05). The prevalence of dental caries was 80.9%. Boys mean dmf was 4.15±3.03 and it was in girls 3.05±2.67, that shows higher prevalence of dental caries in boys than girls. Overall mean of dmf scores was 3.48±2.86. 173 (40.9%) had normal gums. 31.6% of children not brush their teeth, 37.4% brush once in a day.: Oral hygiene status was fair in more than half of the sample size. High prevalence of dental caries seen in males. Dental caries is a major public health problem and an active and effective dental care prevention program for children is needed.

Published: June 2023

This case report explores the treatment of a 13-year-old male patient with severe dental crowding and periodontal issues using non-extraction orthodontic treatment combined with a root coverage procedure. The patient presented with a skeletal class 1 base malocclusion, and multiple anterior crossbites, along with a compromised lower central incisor and gingival recession. Despite the option of extraction, the patient declined this approach, and the final goal was to achieve stable class 1 occlusion and an improved smile.The treatment plan utilized pre-adjusted edgewise appliance (MBT 0.022 inch slot), distalization of the canine, inversion of the maxillary right lateral bracket, and the cautious use of open coil spring in the upper and lower anterior segments. After alignment was completed, a root coverage procedure was performed on the lower right central incisor. The treatment lasted for 20 months, and the results showed successful alignment of both arches, canine protected occlusion, and improved periodontal health.Overall, this case report highlights the complex relationship between orthodontic treatment and periodontal health and the importance of careful treatment planning and patient communication to achieve successful and stable results. The non-extraction approach combined with root coverage procedure proved to be an effective treatment option for this patient, leading to an improved occlusion, smile, and periodontal health.
REVISITING SAUDI UNIVERSITY EFL LEARNERS’ ENGAGEMENT TO TEACHERS WRITTEN CORRECTIVE FEEDBACK FROM A SOCIO-COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE
Authors: M. Ismail Sayed , Nasri Mehdi , Salem Ahmed 
Published: June 2023

The empirical studies addressing learners’ engagement to teachers’ corrective feedback on their writing tasks in the Saudi EFL context as well as its impact on the students’ improvement of writing skill are still a few. Therefore, the proposed research project aims to empirically address the Saudi EFL learners’ responses to teachers’ written corrective feedback on their writing tasks. Addressing the EFL learners’ engagement in the teachers’ written feedback is a key issue in improving learners’ writing skills. As a result, the proposed project attempts to measure Saudi learners’ engagement with their learners’ feedback from a multi-dimension perspective; learners’ uptake, affective engagement, cognitive engagement, and meta-cognitive engagement, and behavioral engagement. Investigating the learners’ responses to their teacher’s feedback, the proposed project uses a socio-cognitive method that contributes to realizing the differences in EFL responses toward their teacher’s corrective feedback. The proposed study relies on different sources of data that include students’ writing assignments, semi-structured questionnaires. The sample of the study consists of 90 elementary level students belonging to the applied college at PSAU, 30 pre-intermediate students belonging to Business administration College, and 30 intermediate level students belonging to the college of humanities and sciences. The collected data reflect to what extent learners are engaged with the corrective feedback of their teachers, which can be partly accounted for their ideas and experiences about the written corrective feedback and second language writing and the learning context in which the feedback was received and processed. The findings of the research projects proposes that the EFL instructors should have a deeper understanding of the students’ cognitive and behavioral, engagement, feedback processing. This deeper understanding of students’ responses to written correct feedback would largely contribute to improving learners’ writing skills.
