Authors: Lisetska Iryna , Rozhko Mykola 
Published: May 2023

Diseases of periodontal tissues rank second among dental pathologies after caries and constitute an important medical problem. According to the modern concept, periodontal tissue diseases arise under the influence of many causes, both local and general in nature. The harmful habit of smoking is a manageable risk factor that causes diseases specific to smokers, and also contributes to the occurrence, deepening and progression of dental diseases, such as periodontal tissues. Therefore, the issue of developing effective schemes of a complex of therapeutic and preventive measures for teenagers and young adults who smoke is urgent.
The aim of the study is to study the long-term results of the clinical effectiveness of the proposed complex treatment of periodontal tissue diseases in teenagers and young adults who smoke.
Materials and methods of the study. To achieve the goal, changes in periodontal tissues were studied immediately after treatment and in the long term in 114 teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 24, who were divided into groups: 26 people who regularly smoke traditional cigarettes were included in the first group; group II - 22 people, who smoke Vapes; in the III group - 23 people who regularly smoke devices for heating tobacco (IQOSs); in the IV group - 43 people, without the harmful habit of smoking.The dynamics of the OHI-S, PMA and PBI indexes before, after and in the long term of treatment with the proposed complex were analyzed: in general - "Quertin", "Supervit" and "BioGaya ProDentis"; locally - "Stomolik" and "Holisal" in comparison with the generally accepted treatment protocol for this disease.
Results of the study. In the course of treatment, a positive trend of the studied indices was recorded in all observation groups, however, better results were recorded in the groups where the proposed local treatment was applied, which was confirmed by objective examination data. Analyzing the results obtained in the long term of treatment, it was established that the results achieved immediately after treatment slightly worsened after six months of follow-up. Moreover, worse results were registered in patients of subgroups who received generally accepted treatment, compared with patients who received the proposed complex treatment. These results indicate the high effectiveness of the proposed complex treatment, but the need to repeat the treatment and preventive actions more often after six months.
Conclusions. Comparison of the results of treatment of periodontal tissue diseases in the observation groups in the remote periods of treatment by various methods indicates the advantages of the proposed complex treatment and allows us to conclude about its high clinical effectiveness.
Key words: teenagers and young adults, diseases of periodontal tissues, treatment, smoking.
Methods of Prevention of Postoperative Peritonitis
Authors: Droniak Mykola , Droniak Volodymyr 
Published: May 2023

The aim of the study. To explore the causes and improve methods of prevention of postoperative peritonitis.
Materials and methods. From 2012 to 2022 in the surgical department of municipal non-profit enterprise “Regional clinical hospital of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Council” were performed 10687 surgical interventions for various diseases and injuries of organs of the abdominal cavity. In 244 (2.3%) patients the postoperative period was complicated by the development of peritonitis, which led to repeated surgical intervention. We analyzed the results of treatment of this category of patients aged 20 to 84 years. Local peritonitis was diagnosed in 125 (51.2%) of them, diffuse peritonitis in 119 (48.8%).
Research results. For today approaches to methods of surgical prevention of postoperative peritonitis are quite uninformative, due to the fact that in most cases the main rules of asepsis and antiseptics and appropriate surgical tactics are followed in combination with conservative intensive infusion therapy and antibacterial drugs.
Complete removal of pathological contents from the abdominal cavity is a mandatory stage of surgery for postoperative peritonitis and one of the key factors in preventing such complications in the postoperative period as septic shock and multiple organ failure. Based on the information from the analysis of the literature, as well as on our own observations, we have developed a method of lavage of the abdominal cavity, which affects various pathogenetic factors in postoperative peritonitis.
Conclusion. Fundamental meaning in the prevention of the development of postoperative peritonitis are the timely execution and adequate volume of the operation, the maximum evacuation of the pathological contents with subsequent lavage of the abdominal cavity by the proposed method, careful handling of the organs of the abdominal cavity (suture of questionable areas and injuries of the intestine), careful hemostasis, active-passive drainage of not only loose areas of the abdominal cavity, but also of anastomosis and abscess cavities.
The Use of Photoplethysmography in the Assessment of Mental Health: Scoping Review
Authors: Lyzwinski Lynnette Nathalie , Elgendi Mohamed , Menon Carlo 
Published: May 2023

Background
With the rise in mental health problems globally, mobile health provides opportunities for timely medical care and accessibility. One emerging area of mobile health involves the use of photoplethysmography (PPG) to assess and monitor mental health.

Objective
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of PPG-based technology for mental health. Therefore, we conducted a review to understand how PPG has been evaluated to assess a range of mental health and psychological problems, including stress, depression, and anxiety.

Methods
A scoping review was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar databases.

Results
A total of 24 papers met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. We identified studies that assessed mental health via PPG using finger- and face-based methods as well as smartphone-based methods. There was variation in study quality. PPG holds promise as a potential complementary technology for detecting changes in mental health, including depression and anxiety. However, rigorous validation is needed in diverse clinical populations to advance PPG technology in tackling mental health problems.

Conclusions
PPG holds promise for assessing mental health problems; however, more research is required before it can be widely recommended for clinical use.

BackgroundAlthough patients recovered from COVID-19 already have immunity gained from natural infection, they are still at risk of reinfection due to the emergence of new variants of COVID-19 and the diminishing of naturally acquired immunity over time. Vaccination is associated with efficacious protection against COVID-19 infection and could boost infection-acquired immunity; however, various COVID-19 survivors have not been vaccinated due to vaccine hesitancy.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and related factors among COVID-19 survivors.MethodsA cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among patients who recovered from COVID-19 infection in Wuhan, China, between June 10 and July 25, 2021. The questionnaire included sociodemographic information, items on COVID-19 infection, the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy scale based on the 3Cs (complacency, convenience, and confidence) model, trust in vaccine manufacturers and health facilities, and reasons for the decision to accept COVID-19 vaccination. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.ResultsAmong the 1422 participants, 538 (37.8%) were not vaccinated against COVID-19. The COVID-19–recovered patients who self-reported having a current unhealthy status expressed more hesitancy about the COVID-19 vaccine than those who perceived themselves to be healthy (odds ratio [OR] 0.45, 95% CI 0.28-0.71). Compared to the asymptomatic patients, patients with mild symptoms were more likely to receive a COVID-19 vaccine (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.02-2.82). Regarding the 3Cs model, high complacency (P=.005) and low convenience (P=.004) were significant negative factors for COVID-19 vaccination. Trust in vaccine manufacturers and health facilities was a significant positive factor for COVID-19 vaccination (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.09-1.19). “Self-needs” was the main reason for patients to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, whereas “already have antibodies and do not need vaccination” was the main reason for patients to not receive the COVID-19 vaccine.ConclusionsAmong the three major factors of vaccine hesitancy, complacency proved to be the most notable among COVID-19–recovered patients. Therefore, educational campaigns can focus on raising the awareness of risk of infection and the benefits of vaccination to reduce complacency toward vaccination among this population. In particular, for individuals who have recovered from COVID-19, improving factors related to convenience such as transportation, the environment of vaccination, and providing door-to-door service was also deemed necessary to facilitate their vaccination. In addition, addressing the concerns about vaccination of COVID-19–recovered patients could foster trust and promote their uptake of vaccination.
Crowdsourcing Knowledge Production of COVID-19 Information on Japanese Wikipedia in the Face of Uncertainty: Empirical Analysis
Authors: Yang Kunhao , Tanaka Mikihito 
Published: May 2023

Background
A worldwide overabundance of information comprising misinformation, rumors, and propaganda concerning COVID-19 has been observed in addition to the pandemic. By addressing this data confusion, Wikipedia has become an important source of information.

Objective
This study aimed to investigate how the editors of Wikipedia have handled COVID-19–related information. Specifically, it focused on 2 questions: What were the knowledge preferences of the editors who participated in producing COVID-19–related information? and How did editors with different knowledge preferences collaborate?

Methods
This study used a large-scale data set, including >2 million edits in the histories of 1857 editors who edited 133 articles related to COVID-19 on Japanese Wikipedia. Machine learning methods, including graph neural network methods, Bayesian inference, and Granger causality analysis, were used to establish the editors’ topic proclivity and collaboration patterns.

Results
Overall, 3 trends were observed. Two groups of editors were involved in the production of information on COVID-19. One group had a strong preference for sociopolitical topics (social-political group), and the other group strongly preferred scientific and medical topics (scientific-medical group). The social-political group played a central role (contributing 16,544,495/23,485,683, 70.04% of bits of content and 57,969/76,673, 75.61% of the references) in the information production part of the COVID-19 articles on Wikipedia, whereas the scientific-medical group played only a secondary role. The severity of the pandemic in Japan activated the editing behaviors of the social-political group, leading them to contribute more to COVID-19 information production on Wikipedia while simultaneously deactivating the editing behaviors of the scientific-medical group, resulting in their less contribution to COVID-19 information production on Wikipedia (Pearson correlation coefficient=0.231; P<.001).

Conclusions
The results of this study showed that lay experts (ie, Wikipedia editors) in the fields of science and medicine tended to remain silent when facing high scientific uncertainty related to the pandemic. Considering the high quality of the COVID-19–related articles on Japanese Wikipedia, this research also suggested that the sidelining of the science and medicine editors in discussions is not necessarily a problem. Instead, the social and political context of the issues with high scientific uncertainty is more important than the scientific discussions that support accuracy.
The Past, Present, and Future of Psychotherapy Manuals: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Wislocki Katherine , Tran Mai-Lan , Petti Emily , Hernandez-Ramos Rosa , Cenkner David , Bridgwater Miranda , Naderi Ghazal , Walker Leslie , Zalta Alyson K 
Published: May 2023

Background
Psychotherapy manuals are critical to the dissemination of psychotherapy treatments. Psychotherapy manuals typically serve several purposes, including, but not limited to, establishing new psychotherapy treatments, training providers, disseminating treatments to those who deliver them, and providing guidelines to deliver treatments with fidelity. Yet, the proliferation of psychotherapy manuals has not been well-understood, and no work has aimed to assess or review the existing landscape of psychotherapy manuals. Little is known about the breadth, scope, and foci of extant psychotherapy manuals.

Objective
This scoping review aims to identify and explore the landscape of existing book-based psychotherapy manuals. This review aims to specify the defining characteristics (ie, foci, clinical populations, clinical targets, treatment type, treatment modality, and adaptations) of existing book-based psychotherapy manuals. Further, this review will demonstrate how this information, and psychotherapy manuals more broadly, has changed over time. This project aims to make a novel contribution that will have critical implications for current methods of developing, aggregating, synthesizing, and translating knowledge about psychotherapeutic treatments.

Methods
This scoping review will review book-based psychotherapy manuals published from 1950 to 2022.This scoping review will be informed by guidance from the Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping Review Methodology Group and prior scoping reviews. Traditional search and application programming interface–based search methods will be used with search terms defined a priori to identify relevant results using 3 large book databases: Google Books, WorldCat, and PsycINFO. This review will leverage machine learning methods to enhance and expedite the screening process. Primary screening of results will be conducted by at least 2 authors. Data will be extracted and double-coded by research assistants using an iteratively defined codebook.

Results
The search process produced 78,600 results, which were then iteratively deduplicated. Following deduplication, 50,583 results remained. The scoping review is expected to identify common elements of psychotherapy manuals, establish how the foci and content of manuals have changed over time, and illustrate coverage and gaps in the landscape of psychotherapy manuals. Results from this scoping review will be critical for future work focused on developing, aggregating, synthesizing, and disseminating knowledge about psychotherapeutic treatments.

Conclusions
This review will provide knowledge about the vast landscape of psychotherapy manuals that exist. Findings from this study will inform future efforts to develop, aggregate, synthesize, and translate knowledge about psychotherapeutic treatments.

Cross-infection has the potential to occur in the Dental and Oral Hospital due to cross-transmission of pathogenic microbes through dental chair surfaces that are contaminated with microbes. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three types of disinfectant Septalcan, Terralin, and 70% alcohol on the inhibition of pathogenic microbes originating from the oral cavity of patients who contaminate the surface of dental chairs in aerosol and non-aerosol clinics. Sampling of microorganisms was carried out using the technique of wiping/swab the surface of dental chairs in aerosol and non-aerosol clinics before and after the disinfection process with three types of disinfectants. The decrease in the number of germs before and after the disinfectant process is used as a parameter for the effectiveness of the disinfectant. The results of the one-way ANOVA statistical test shows that there is no significant difference in the effectiveness of the three types of Septalcan, Terralin, and 70% alcohol in reducing the number of germs on the surface of dental chairs. The three types of disinfectants are able to minimize the risk of cross-infection due to pathogenic microbial contamination on the surface of the dental chair.
El (breve y complicado) camino legislativo del Parlamento Abierto Local en México
Authors: Peña Mancillas Víctor Samuel 
Published: May 2023

Ramificación de la corriente a favor de la denominada apertura de las instancias públicas iniciada en Estados Unidos en 2009 con Gobierno Abierto, Parlamento Abierto es una figura centrada en el quehacer legislativo y que, en México, se ha desarrollado en dos etapas: la primera, como el marco para realizar evaluaciones desde la sociedad civil sobre la transparencia en los Congresos –el nacional y los locales-; segunda, como un principio o elemento esencial del proceso legislativo, incluyéndolo en la normatividad, en algunos casos hasta nivel constitucional.
El presente artículo hace un recorrido descriptivo sobre cómo es que Parlamento Abierto se ha ido incorporando en las agendas legislativas y las probables implicaciones que significa no contar con un acuerdo conceptual ni un modelo para llevarlo a la práctica en el país.
Women about Women: Genderlect Manifestations through Positive and Negative Self-Stereotypes in Contemporary Fiction
Authors: Bohovyk Oksana , Bezrukov Andrii , Yashkina Victoriia 
Published: May 2023

The article re-actualises genderlect as one of the key points of male-female differentiation and a relevant object in the humanities, not merely from the perspective of gender studies but linguistic and literary ones. Self-stereotypes in the speech of one or another gender may be considered the result of the complex interaction of collective identity and the subconscious. The excerpts from the selected novels by Salman Rushdie, Jennifer Crusie, Lisa Kleypas, Aleksandar Hemon, Zadie Smith and Candace Bushnell have provided a wide range of patterns of expressing self-stereotypes in the dimension of ‘women about women’. To emphasise the multicultural nature of genderlect self-stereotypes, the writers of different ethnic affiliations are represented. The article also classifies the criteria of self-stereotype polarisation in characters’ speech to explicate the strategies of women’s verbal behaviour. These criteria include marital status, maternal experience, professional activity, ageism and harassment. The impact of gender on verbal behaviour, observed in real life and adapted to fiction through literary representation, is manifested in communication stereotypes. This serves to illuminate the most representative speech self-stereotypes, which make certain images or ideas easier to interpret. The application of an interdisciplinary approach with a set of appropriate methods to theorising and practising genderlect reveals its role as a significant tool for reconstructing a linguistic worldview and contextualises both positive and negative self-stereotypes for the expressive evaluation of speech in fictional discourse.
Implementing Project-Based Learning in English Language Classes – a Case of Kosovar Lower Secondary Schools
Authors: Latifaj Donjetë , Xhaferi Brikena 
Published: May 2023

Project-based learning (PBL) is a contemporary educational approach in which students engage in authentic tasks and scenarios while working on various projects. Throughout the process, students are encouraged to participate actively in their learning. Since this methodology is not commonly used in Kosovo, the current study aimed to assess the extent to which information and communication technology (ICT) is utilized during the implementation of PBL in lower secondary English classes in Kosovo. Furthermore, the study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of PBL in enhancing students’ ability to acquire English as a foreign language. The study focused on analyzing teachers’ perspectives on the use of ICT when implementing PBL in English classes. The findings from an online survey show that teachers use ICT to a certain degree when implementing PBL and that a considerable number of teachers are interested in receiving specialized training to enhance their use of technology in future classes. Generally, teachers prefer project-based methods, but PBL is not widely utilized in the Kosovar education system. Finally, teachers and students with a positive attitude towards ICT and PBL are willing to implement them in their school settings.
Culpeper’s Impoliteness Strategies in Neil Simon’s ‘Biloxi Blues’
Authors: Şekerci Ömer 
Published: May 2023

Impoliteness has recently been of interest to scholars as a linguistic study in the field of pragmatics. It has emerged as the opposite orientation to politeness strategy, theory and studies. This paper explores how the impoliteness strategies mapped out by Jonathan Culpeper (1996) are employed in dramatic texts. It examines Culpeper’s impoliteness strategies designed to investigate face in the dramatic text. This paper tests the strategies through Neil Simon’s Biloxi Blues (1985). This dramatic comedy is used for three reasons: (1) as a drama, it is a mirror of life and real-life speech events; (2) impoliteness strategies provide a resource to analyse impolite interactions between the characters in dialogic discourse; (3) dramatic texts provide a rich context to interpret and analyse verbal and non-verbal impoliteness strategies. Impoliteness strategies can cause disharmony and conflict between characters in a dramatic text. The interactions exchanged by the characters in Biloxi Blues are analysed according to Culpeper’s five impoliteness strategies: bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm or mock politeness, and withhold politeness. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method to determine how face-threatening acts are incorporated into the play in line with Culpeper’s impoliteness strategies propounded in his article entitled Towards an Anatomy of Impoliteness (1996). The paper also examines how the characters react to face-threatening acts. In the twelve selected dramatic extracts, seventeen cases of positive impoliteness, ten cases of bald on record impoliteness, eight cases of sarcasm or mock politeness, and four cases of negative impoliteness have been observed. Moreover, it has also been observed that the characters use taboo words and abusive and strong language. The bald on record impolite acts are aggravated mainly by abuses, sexual insults and name-calling strategies. Racial slurs have also been identified as a part of positive impoliteness.
