Objectives: This study aims to investigate the levels of bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs), one of the pathways affecting bone turnover in these diseases, and to investigate their relationship with disease activity.
Patients and methods: Between September 2013 and July 2015, a total of 100 ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients (53 males, 48 females; median age: 40 years; range, 18 to 62 years), 58 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (25 males, 33 females; median age: 40.5 years; range, 26 to 59 years), and 102 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (55 males, 47 females; median age: 38 years; range, 18 to 55 years) were included in the study. In all groups, serum BMP-2 and BMP-4 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Demographic data (age, sex, duration of disease) and acute phase reactants of the patients at the final visit were recorded. Disease activity was assessed through the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score C-Reactive Protein (ASDAS-CRP) for AS patients and through the Disease Activity Score-28-CRP (DAS-28-CRP) for RA patients.
Results: The median BMP-2 values were found to be significantly higher in the RA group compared to the other groups and in the control group compared to the AS group (p<0.001 for both). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of median BMP-4 values (p>0.05). No significant relationship was found between serum BMP-2 and BMP-4 levels and disease activity in both AS and RA patients, while there was a weak positive correlation between erythrocyte sedimentation rate and CRP levels with BMP-2 level in RA patients (p=0.014, r=0.320 and p=0.029, r=0.287, respectively).
Conclusion: Our study results suggest that the BMP pathway may have different dual effects in AS and RA patients depending on the underlying pathogenesis, and that local effects are more prominent than serum levels.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background: The Internet has been welcomed for its role in enhancing inclusivity and global development; its use by the general population in health has also raised severe challenges. Evaluating the legitimacy of the medical information that may be found on the Internet is generally considered to be one of the most difficult aspects of using the internet.
Objective: The purpose of this research is to identify the key criteria that internet users consider when judging the trustworthiness of health information found on the internet.
Methods: We carried out an online survey in the form of a questionnaire with the purpose of monitoring the responses of three hundred participants belonging to a variety of age groups, on how they evaluate web-based health information. Their responses are recorded on a Likert scale, then statistically analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. The proposed methodology integrates several techniques - Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin(KMO)&Bartlett's test, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Kaiser's criteria, and oblique rotation to identify significant factors influencing Web-based Health Information (WHI).
Results: For the reliability statistics we are getting a Cronbach alpha value of 0.961 for the survey instrument, which shows that the internal consistency among the variable is high. We found that the most essential factors for determining the quality of online health information are credibility (3.80), recommendations (3.33), verification (3.76), and user-friendliness (3.61).
Conclusion: According to our results, the factors that were revealed in this research seem to have a significant impact on the level of trust shown by individuals who look for health information online. These factors have the potential to be employed in the development of an automated tool that can determine the level of trust associated with web-based health information in a future study.

The Country Life Novel’s Gothic Machinery.National Identity and Fluctuating Exchange Value in Fredrika Bremer’s Life in Dalecarlia
When Fredrika Bremer in her novel I Dalarne (1845) (Life in Dalecarlia) represents Falu copper mine as the horrific ruin of classic gothic tales – a vast and life-threatening void, the home of dreadful crimes and secret passions – this is paradoxically part of a nationalistic literary strategy. Simultaneously, though, the novel writes the nation as a pastoral on country life and mores of the peasantry. The article investigates how the gothic and the pastoral idyllic respectively establish the nation and national identity on their separate terms and in relation to each other in accordance with their own particular inner logic.
The idyllic streaks both manifests and problematize local place as foundation for national identity, while the gothic exposes identity as arbitrary, and thereby subverts the notion of a citizen subject. This duality is linked to a market-based model of identity which the article argues is actualized by the novel itself. The condition of possibility is the emerging consumer society and the beginnings of industrialism – breakthrough changes which in the novel are thematized as tensions between tradition and modernity. At stake in this field of tension between the idyllic and the gothic stands the nation as a community of citizens: a collective subject.

Published: November 2022

Background: Hormonal changes during menopause affect the vestibular system by interfering with homeostasis and by disrupting the enzyme cycles and neurotransmitter function. It has been observed that females have a higher risk of falling and this may increase after menopause. Balance in women is significantly affected by menopause. Objective: To find the prevalence of vestibular dysfunction in menopausal females and to find the risk factors associated with vestibular dysfunction. Methods: The analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from May to October 2021, the data was collected from 385 women in district Jhelum who had menopause after the age of 45 years. Non-probability convenient sampling was used to collect data. The Berg balance scale, activity-specific balance confidence scale, and a self-made questionnaire for risk factors were used in the study. Results: According to the activity-specific balance confidence scale, 24.4% of the population had high, 60.5% moderate, and 15.1% low physical functioning. A score of less than 67% indicated that 48.1% of patients had a risk for falls in the future. Berg balance scale showed that 6.8% of patients had a high, 22.9% medium, and 60.4% low risk of falling, a score less than 45 demonstrated that 55.8% had a higher fall risk. Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and smoking were all statistically significant risk factors for falls (p≤0.001). Conclusion: The current study concludes that there is a significant risk of developing vestibular dysfunction, with an increased risk of falls after menopause in females. Hearing loss is the most common risk factor while obesity also has a great impact on the vestibular system. But there is an increased chance of falls in participants with stroke and hypertension.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate dentistry students for changes in anxiety levels between the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the point where COVID restrictions were reduced to a minimum and to compare their perspectives on distance education at both points in time.
Methodology: The participants in this study were undergraduate students (n = 297) from the Faculty of Dentistry who volunteered to answer a questionnaire that asked them to detail the anxiety levels that they experienced during the COVID-19 period and during the months after COVID-related restrictions were lifted. The students were also asked for their opinions about the theoretical dentistry lessons delivered by distance education. The measurement values obtained were subjected to the independent sample t-test for comparisons between groups and to the one-way analysis of variance for comparisons of more than two groups. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between anxiety levels. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: When asked whether technology-based education was beneficial, and whether theoretical education should be realized through distance education, men answered yes at a higher rate than women. (p < 0.05). It was also observed that, compared to the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the anxiety scores of the participants were lower in the months after pandemic restrictions were reduced.
Conclusion: According to the findings, it was observed that male students were more inclined to use the internet, to believe that technology-based education was beneficial, to prefer distance education over face-to-face education, and to be more motivated in distance education than face-to-face education. COVID-19 has impacted face-to-face education with a sudden transition to distance education, and these results support the importance of identifying the deficiencies in this education method and developing this system

Published: November 2022

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different ground-based coffee types on the color change of nanohybrid and bulk-fill composites.
Methodology: A total of 80 disk-shaped samples were made using Teflon molds (5 mm in diameter and 8 mm thick) and two types of A2 resin with nanohybrid (Tetric N Ceram Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and bulk-fill (Filtek Bulk-Fill, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) structures. All samples were finished and polished with four-stage (thick, medium, fine, and superfine) polishing disks (Sof-lex, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA) and kept at 37°C for 24 hours. Color measurements of the samples were performed using a spectrophotometer (Vita Easy Shade, Vita ZahnFabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany) and were divided into subgroups: the control group, filter coffee, Turkish coffee, espresso, and Mırra (n = 8). Distilled water was used as a control. Prepared coffees were added to the microcentrifuge tubes and refreshed daily during the 14-day exposure period. ΔE values were calculated for each material. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way variance analysis and Tukey multiple comparisons (p = 0.05).
Results: There was no significant color change for either the nano-fill or bulk-fill composite groups in the control group samples (p>0.05). Filter coffee was found to be the most effective colorant coffee type for both composites (p < 0.05). Among the coffee types, Mırra caused the least coloration for both composites.
Conclusion: The consumption of two or more cups of coffee per day, especially filter coffee, can cause color changes in both conventional and bulk-fill composites, and it should be considered an important factor in aesthetic problems with dental restorations.

Published: November 2022

A investigação em voga constitui-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, tendo como objetivo investigar quais as metodologias utilizadas pelos professores no ensino de Ciências, nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental e ainda se eles se preocupam em relacionar teoria com a prática, fazendo uso da experimentação. Esta pesquisa iniciou-se com uma revisão bibliográfica e em seguida contou com uma pesquisa de campo de abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Foram entrevistados professores de Ciências e seus respectivos alunos do 6º ao 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental, mediante questionário aplicado pessoalmente na própria escola, no intuito de conhecer as percepções dos professores e dos seus alunos sobre o ensino de Ciências e as metodologias utilizadas. Ao todo, foram cinco professores, sendo um da escola municipal, três da escola estadual e um da escola particular, todas localizadas na cidade de Januária, no estado de Minas Gerais (Brasil). Quanto aos alunos, somaram um total de sessenta, sendo vinte de cada escola pesquisada. Como resultados finais desta pesquisa e tendo como base os objetivos propostos e as percepções dos professores e alunos, observa-se que os dados apresentaram uma diferença significativa de resultado entre a escola pública e a particular. As aulas nas escolas públicas pesquisadas, em sua maioria, são ministradas de forma tradicional, por meio de aulas expositivas e livros didáticos, sendo usadas raramente as aulas práticas. Em suma, observa-se que aliar teoria e prática, ainda é um desafio que também está relacionado à concepção de educação de cada professor e às condições de trabalho.
