Authors: Saraf Tanvi , Hegde Rahul , Shah Preetam 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
A change in food preferences is difficult to bring about, thus there is a need of an innovative tool which would cater to the developing cognition of the child but at the same time be fun and engaging.

Aim:
To assess and compare playing “My tooth the happiest” an educational game with standard dietary counseling in preschool children for preference for noncariogenic food items.

Settings and Design:
Randomized controlled trial.

Materials and Methods:
The parents of 51 children aged between 4 and 6 years, answered a preintervention questionnaire on the daily food preferences of their children and were scored as per the scale which depicted the frequency status of dietary preferences. In Group A, 25 children played the educational game “My tooth the Happiest” and Group B of 26 children were given verbal dietary counseling. A postintervention questionnaire was answered by the parents on the 8th, 16th, and 30th days and were scored as per the scale.

Statistical Analysis:
The intergroup comparison of Group A and Group B was done by Mann–Whitney test and the intra-group analysis by Friedman’s test.

Results:
The inter-group analysis showed a highly significant (P < 0.01) result at the 8th, 16th, and 30th day with lower mean scores in Group A than Group B. The intragroup analysis within both the groups showed a highly significant change (P < 0.01).

Conclusions:
Playing an inexpensive, fun, educational game could be a “Game changer” for dietary counseling in pediatric dentistry for preschoolers.
Perforated appendicitis treated with laparoscopic appendicectomy or open appendicectomy: A meta-analysis
Authors: Gu Qianquan , Hua Ye 
Published: June 2023

Aim:
This analysis compared the impact of laparoscopic appendicectomy (LA) and open appendicectomy (OA) on treating adult perforated appendicitis (PA).

Methods:
Articles relating to LA and OA in treating PA were retrieved from databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase since their founding to January 2022. These articles were independently filtered based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria by two investigators. The quality of these articles was assessed and article data were extracted. Dichotomous data were presented in the form of odd’s ratio (OR), whereas continuous data were in the form of weighted mean difference (WMD). The included articles reported at least one of the following outcomes: intra-abdominal abscess (IAA), wound infection, operative time, hospital stay and complications.

Results:
Three randomised control trials (198 LA cases vs. 205 OA cases) and 12 case − control trials (914 LA cases vs. 2192 OA cases) were included. This analysis revealed that although the IAA formation rate was similar in the LA and OA groups (OR: 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.87–1.88), the wound infection rate was lower in the LA group (OR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.28–0.51). Furthermore, LA was associated with shorter hospital stay (WMD: −1.43 days, 95% CI: −2.33–−0.52) and fewer complications than OA (OR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.28–0.57).

Conclusion:
LA has significant benefits in treating PA and is associated with better post-operative outcomes such as shorter hospital stay, lower incidence of wound infection and other complications. However, more studies with randomised and large-sample populations are still required to determine the clinical benefit of LA in treating PA.

Published: June 2023

Objectives:
The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) and thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) in thoracic region surgery.

Materials and Methods:
We implemented a systematic search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, and Web of Science and through gray literature for all randomized controlled trials that compared SAPB, a novel thoracic wall nerve block, and TEA in surgery. The evaluated outcomes included the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), hypotension, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Review Manager, version 5.4.1, was implemented for the analysis of statistics.

Results:
The pooled analysis included six trials that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. In total 384, surgery had received regional blocks (162 – SAPB and 163 – TEA). VAS did not differ significantly between SAPB and TEA, with a mean difference of 0.71, P = 0.08. PONV incidence did not differ significantly between SAPB and TEA (odds ratio = 0.25, P = 0.07). Hypotension incidence was lower in SAPB compared to TEA (odds ratio = 0.10, P = 0.0001).

Conclusion:
SAPB yielded comparable VAS with TEA in pain management of thoracic region surgery. The incidence of hypotension was lower in SAPB than in TEA. No difference in PONV incidence was observed. SAPB can be a viable alternative to TEA in thoracic region surgery.

Published: June 2023

With the high spread of technology and e-commerce platforms, especially after the pandemic of COVID-19, customers increasingly rely on product reviews to assess their online choices. However, the usefulness of online reviews can be hindered by fake reviews. Therefore, detection of fake reviews is needed. Unfortunately, the number of studies on the automatic detection of fake reviews is limited. This paper is one of the very few works attempting to detect fake reviews written in Arabic and, to the best of our knowledge, the first paper to evaluate the deep learning architecture for this challenging task. Most reported studies focused on English reviews with little attention to other languages. Thus, this research paper aims to experiment with Arabic fake reviews and investigate how they can be automatically detected using machine and deep learning approaches. Due to the unavailability of the Arabic fake reviews dataset, we used the Amazon e-commerce dataset after translating them into Arabic; first, we have evaluated some traditional algorithms, including logistic regression, decision tree, K-nearest neighbors, and support vector machine (SVM), and compared the results with other state-of-the-art approaches such as Gradient boosting classifier, Random Forest classifier and deep learning structures; AraBERT. Among the traditional methods, the results showed that SVM achieved the highest accuracy of 87.61%. However, AraBERT significantly outperformed the SVM and achieved 93.00 % accuracy in detecting Arabic fake reviews.
Contribution of Shea-Based Livelihoods to Income of Rural Women in North-Western Ghana

Published: June 2023

The shea industry is a self-contained industry, and it is argued that with critical investment in processing machinery and skill training of the primary actors, it can sustainably enhance the livelihoods of poor rural households. Following an investment in semi-mechanised shea butter processing projects in two communities in North-Western Ghana, this study examined the contribution of the projects to rural women’s income in the communities. Data were collected from 156 shea butter producers, using questionnaires, two key informant interviews and two focus group discussions with the executives of the producer associations. The study found that although farming is the main occupation of the majority of women, shea butter processing is the leading sector because it contributes relatively higher to women’s income. Intriguingly, the income from shea-based livelihood is higher than the minimum annual wage in Ghana. This implies that the shea sector has the potential of contributing to household income, just as the formal sector. In order to enhance the role of the sector towards livelihoods, continuous support to the primary actors (women), and the ability to link them to external market remain critical.
Serial Callers: Hatchet Men or Political Communicators?
Authors: Tuurosong Damasus 
Published: June 2023

This article looks at the extent to which radio stations use offensive language, the reasons why serial callers use such language and how this threat to Ghana’s peace can be curtailed within the Tamale Metropolis. Using in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and content analysis as methods of investigation, the study found that among the political communicators on radio, serial callers used the most offensive language to defend either the New Patriotic Party (NPP) or the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The two parties sponsor the activities of these callers who, in return for stipends from politicians, fearlessly denigrate opponents while trumpeting their parties’ achievements. Unsubstantiated allegations against political opponents emerged as the most frequently used offensive pronouncement by serial callers who admit to the dangers of their conduct for peaceful co-existence but insist they must do everything possible to ensure victory for their parties. The study concludes that despite the threat posed by serial callers to peaceful co-existence, employing extra security measures to contain the situation is not an option. Instead, the study recommends that radio stations field technocrats in place of political party representatives to review newspaper headlines during Morning Show programmes.

Dengue fever has grown to be a significant public health issue. By testing HIV-infected patients for IgM antibodies to the dengue virus, the study sought to determine its serological evidence in Port Harcourt Nigeria. Infected patients with HIV who were seen at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), Port Harcourt, Nigeria, were the subject of this cross-sectional study. A total of 94 HIV-positive patients were enlisted, and after gaining consent, approximately 5 ml of whole blood was taken. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay was used to detect the presence of IgM antibodies to the dengue fever virus (ELISA). IgM antibodies prevalence to the dengue fever virus was found to be 35.1%. Females (43.6%) had a higher prevalence. Age- wise, the group of those under 25 showed a higher prevalence (46.7%). Single people (37.9%), people with tertiary degrees (52.9%), those without jobs (42.9%), and people who live in cities (37.8%) all had higher incidence rates. Several sociodemographic characteristics and dengue fever did not differ significantly (p > 0.05), although sex (p = 0.04), employment (p = 0.02), and place of residence (p = 0.001) were statistically linked to the prevalence of dengue IgM. This study found significant serological evidence of IgM antibodies to the dengue virus, indicating that HIV-infected patients in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, were carriers of this virus. Further research on this virus is required to build on the relationship between age, marital status, education, and most importantly, the seasonal variation of the virus in terms of infection rates.

Pneumonia is a chronic inflammation illness that affects both children and adults and is spread by various bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Since there are not enough specialists and facilities to interpret the findings of lab-based diagnosis, resulting to several cases of Pneumonia-related deaths. When the disease is discovered at an early stage as opposed to a later stage, it can be easily managed or controlled. The aim of the study is to create an effective pneumonia disease detection and classification system that uses Naive Bayesian and random forest Algorithms. The hash-based function was applied to train the model on X-ray chest samples from patients with pneumonia in order to improve detection accuracy and decrease classification errors. The hashing-based function was employed to compute and convert X-ray image features to a corresponding numerical code or label stored in a relative address and used as an array of reference given the associated values. The system was implemented using a future scaling technique that required the use of a hash encoding algorithm for the categorical labels of the target variable, and it improved model performance. We validated and compared the techniques in terms of accuracy and RMSE across different fine-tuned hyper-parameter values. The RF produced 97% with 3.33 error rate while NB recorded 99.08% accuracy rate as the best with 0.020 RMSE value.
Gregory of Elvira and the Homousios Formula
Authors: Brumback III Richard 
Published: June 2023

Though the details about Gregory of Elvira’s personal life and much of his ecclesial work are sparse, we do possess information concerning his pastoral concerns and his position in the Christological disputes of his era. These insights come from his own writings as well as the comments offered to him and about him from his contemporaries. His writings demonstrate a rather wide-ranging familiarity with western theologians such as Tertullian, Novatian, Lactantius, and Hilary, but Gregory was not simply a copyist. He was willing to utilize and then expand upon his sources as he saw fit, and this is especially visible in his Christological materials. This article will examine these influences on Gregory, especially regarding his promotion of the Nicene creed, both from his setting in Roman Spain and from the literary and theological sources he drew upon. These demonstrate that Gregory supported the theology of the Nicene creed even as he learned to refine his own language and expand his defense of the creed and its key term homousios.

This observation will analyze the level of community satisfaction with non-cash food assistance for social services in the Cibinong District area, Bogor Regency, West Java. Since the March 2020 Pandemic, the government through the Social Service has collaborated with banks (Association of State Banks) to distribute non-cash food assistance (BPNT). Assistance is channeled by distributing electronic cards such as red and white special ATMs to prosperous families from the bank to underprivileged residents who have been registered in the Bogor Regency Social Service data. Then the card is exchanged for necessities (nine staples), namely: 10 kg of rice, 1 kg of eggs, 1 chicken meat, 0.5 kg of vegetables/fruit, and 250 grams of green beans, exchanged for e-Warung which has been provided by the Social Service Bogor Regency. Data collection through questionnaires and observation of e-Warung 40 respondents was taken based on a purposive random sampling technique. The data was analyzed through validity and reliability tests, as well as a hypothesis test in measuring the level of satisfaction of residents with BPNT through e-Warung in Cibinong. The results of the study provide clues that several dimensions of the level of satisfaction that affect the distribution of current BPNT in the Cibinong sub-district, namely: Accuracy in implementation, there are 6 precise aspects: Target, quantity, price, time, quality, and administration. There are two kinds of measurements of Family Welfare Nationally, namely, Measurements by the Central Bureau of Statistics and Measurements carried out by the National Family Planning Coordinating Board, with concerning e-Warung, measurements based on population, health, consumption patterns, and employment. The conclusion is that the level of citizen satisfaction with BPNT has a very positive effect. The results of the study stated that citizen satisfaction increased by 24% on the accuracy of providing assistance and satisfaction increased by 27% on e-Warung performance.
Vitality Triangle
Authors: Walsh Elizabeth , Abell Jessica 
Published: June 2023

How can we navigate complex power dynamics in our every-day interactions, while sourcing our collective powers for a just transition to equitable, regenerative economies where we all get to be alive, well, and free? How can we disrupt the politics of trauma and cultivate a politics of flourishing? This article explores how an inner-compass, the “Vitality Triangle,” can help us meet these challenges by living our questions while embodying, embedding, and emplacing three principles of regenerative vitality in living systems: liberty, reciprocity, and integrity.
The Vitality Triangle is not a new theory; it is a heuristic diagram informed by diverse lineages of thought and action that can help us cultivate ecosystem awareness as we navigate from the life-threatening conditions characterizing our current geological epoch to geographies of radical resilience.
The article brings attention to academic and paradigmatic assumptions regarding ontology, sovereignty/power, epistemology, and cartography that have contributed to a downward spiral of degenerative socio-ecological relationships, as depicted by the “Precarity Triangle.” The Vitality Triangle supports shifts in consciousness conducive to an upward spiral of regenerative relationships in dynamic, co-evolving living systems. The Vitality Triangle builds upon and complements Theory U as an awareness-based approach to systems change. It shares core ontological assumptions with Theory U, including an understanding that form follows consciousness, and therefore, shifting from ego-system to ecosystem awareness represents a powerful leverage point for systems change, regenerating vitality across scales in nested living systems – from bodies and the body politic, to the ecosystems of which we are part.

Published: June 2023

Introducción: Los pacientes con Hipomineralización Molar Incisivo (HMI) presentan molares con características especiales debido a la falla en el proceso de maduración durante la amelogénesis. Como consecuencia pueden presentar alto grado de hipersensibilidad dental, que dificulta la ingesta de alimentación, así como la higiene bucal. Objetivo: Describir las terapéuticas disponibles como desensibilizantes en HMI mediante una revisión de la literatura. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda electrónica de los siguientes buscadores: PubMed, MEDLINE, EBSCO, LILACS, EMBASE, Cochrane Library y Scielo; desde 2007 a 2023. Los términos Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) utilizados en la búsqueda bibliográfica fueron en inglés: “tooth sensitivity treatment”, “molar incisor hypomineralization treatment”, “pediatric dentistry MIH”, combinados con los operadores booleanos OR y AND. Los términos DeCS en español fueron: “remineralización dental”, “hipomineralización molar”. Resultados: La mayoría de los estudios concluyeron que el uso de diversos agentes como barniz de flúor, pastas con arginina al 8%, pastas a base de CPP-ACP (fosfopéptido de caseína-fosfato de calcio amorfo), uso de láser, deben incorporarse a los pacientes con HIM, sin embargo, la evidencia es escasa.
