Whether new technologies will have a positive impact on how societies experience nature depends on how particular devices and populations come to interact. This paper reviews two bodies of work that have sought to understand and influence these interactions with reference to the smartphone. The first is associated with a group of researchers interested in how smartphone apps might help people to engage with their surroundings in beneficial ways. The second comes from a set of scholars hoping to learn from the analysis of the social media datasets associated with smartphone interactions outdoors. After comparing these how these two bodies commonly see the social world, the paper considers how other approaches might augment these endeavours. We argue for more studies that explore what different social groups have to say about life with the smartphone and how norms of technology use emerge. We also suggest that this area of research might engage more fully with wider academic work on how smartphones are reshaping our societies.

Oil palm cultivation in Malaysia is known to be labour-intensive. Human rights issues primarily related to workers have always been contentious. This study performed social life cycle impact assessment using one of the type 1 impact assessment methods called Subcategory Assessment Method (SAM). It aimed to evaluate the social performance of some palm oil companies and identify the social hotspots of workers in crude palm oil production starting from nursery, plantation to palm oil mill, and test the applicability of SAM. The basic requirements of SAM were guided to classify the performance reference points, which were used as the threshold where the social inventory indicators were developed to collect the data. A qualitative research approach was used to acquire a better understanding of the issue highlights. Five companies located in Peninsular Malaysia were chosen in this study. The required data were collected via face-to-face interview with the workers and company representatives. The data analysis via SAM was found able to assess the social performance, and identify the social hotspots. The results obtained indicated that all companies involved were similar as the same laws and regulations were adhered to. The subcategory of working hours was found as the social hotspot requiring further improvement. The findings of this study become useful to serve as a guideline in mapping the social hotspots for workers in the palm oil supply chain, and in formulating effective strategies to overcome the resulted social impacts. However, further studies are required to fill the gaps that have not been solved in this study. These include more participation from other companies and inclusion of other stakeholders to explore and assess the industry's social performance more holistically.

Indian plastic industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the country and maintained a CAGR of more than 10 per cent in the last five years. The industry has even bigger potential to perform provided their challenges are addressed appropriately. Indian plastic processing units are mostly tiny units and classified under micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The plastic processing industry is undergoing a challenging phase that has been restricting its growth. The growth of the plastic processing industry is not uniform across the country and is mostly dependent upon various factors including geographical factors. Plastic is a versatile material but still considered an environmental pollutant and at the same time, heavy environmental costs are associated with its production and disposal. This has exerted an additional burden on the plastic processing industry. An empirical study was undertaken in the state of Punjab, India to suggest the remedial measures to overcome the challenges faced by the plastic processing industry. Literature review suggests that no such study was carried out in Punjab, India. The survey technique was adopted as the research strategy to collect the primary responses using a structured questionnaire. Quantitative data were gathered to attain statistical conclusions. A total of 207 valid responses were obtained mostly from the owner’s perspective. Secondary data were collected from various resources such as reliable websites, published literature, research papers, reference books, internet articles, industry bulletins and journals. The study has identified a total of 24 possible remedial measures to overcome the challenges faced by the plastic processing industry in Punjab. The current research has practical implications that are noteworthy to the professionals, industry people and policymakers as they can translate the research findings into practice that leads to improvement in business efficiency, social life and the environment.

The current debate on demographic change often revolves around seniors (over 65-years-old), their housing preferences, and their spatial mobility. Our study contributes to this discussion by examining how seniors make evaluations concerning retirement homes guided by concepts such as functional congruity, self-congruity, and lifestyle congruity. An experimental study was conducted involving 325 Austrian and 546 French seniors (60+). The results were supportive of the hypotheses that seniors evaluate retirement homes positively when they (1) perceive the retirement home to have high service quality (high functional congruity), (2) identify with the occupant residents (high self-congruity), (3) believe that living in the retirement home is consistent with their own lifestyle (high lifestyle congruity), and (4) anticipate feeling satisfied with their social life, leisure life, health, love life, and life overall (high anticipated life satisfaction).

The cochlear implant has been approved as a method of treating bilateral deep deafness since the 1980s, and since then candidate selection methods have changed several times. Initially, the candidates were only adult patients, and in 1990 the cochlear implant was approved for the first time in children under 2 years of age by the US Food and Drug Administration. In 2000, the same US Administration reduced the limit to one year. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of age at cochlear implantation on speech recognition abilities. Concerning the age groups in which the subjects were assigned to, the best results on the tests were achieved by the group who underwent cochlear implantation at the youngest age. In conclusion, the benefit from cochlear implant in subjects with pre-lingual hearing impairment of the most severe degree has to be stressed and it is much bigger in comparison to individual amplifying hearing aids. If cochlear implant is placed at the youngest age, the results might lead to even 100% of active involvement in the social life of individuals with this kind of impairment.

The article is devoted to the research and analysis of the characteristics of the impact and prevalence of computer addiction among teenagers. The main causes and preconditions for computer addiction are clarified; indicators that state the occurance and presence of computer addiction among adolescents, which are distinguished in clinical, psychological and socio-psychological aspects are singled out and reviwed. Based on the experimental data, the following criteria of computer addiction are proposed: dominance, tolerance, compulsiveness, "withdrawal" syndrome, social maladaptation. The results of a sociological study on this issue are presented and interpreted. The main factors of computer addiction in adolescence are identified as follows: psychological, socio-psychological, social. Ways to overcome computer addiction and prevent its occurrence, as well as methods of rational approach to working with computers in the educational environment are outlined. It was found that computer addiction among teenagers is characterized by the replacement of real life with virtual, when there is an underestimation and ignoring of other areas of social life. The psychological and physical symptoms of Internet addiction are considered, including the major indicators that can be observed and verified by educators, psychologists, parents in order to diagnose computer addiction among teenagers, as well as to determine ways to prevent and correct it.

Women ages 60 and older vary in sexual behaviors. This study examined the prevalence of vaginal intercourse, outercourse, and receipt and performance of oral sex reported among 461 married/partnered women age ≥ 60 years in the United States and factors associated with these four sexual behaviors. Using data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project, associations between participants’ socio-demographics, health indicators, sexual perceptions, communication, and sexual behaviors were examined. In the past year, 53.6% reported having vaginal intercourse, 56.0% outercourse, and 21.7% receiving and 20.6% performing oral sex. Women with depressive symptomology were less likely to report intercourse and outercourse (p &lt, 0.05). Women endorsing pleasurable sex as necessary to maintain relationships were more likely to report all four behaviors (p &lt, 0.01). Women who communicated openly with partners were more likely to report intercourse (p = 0.002), outercourse (p = 0.001), and performing oral sex (p = 0.025). Findings may inform strategies about positive sex perceptions and strengthening partner communication.

The primary aim of this study was to demonstrate whether primary rhinoplasty shows aesthetic and psychosocial advantages for children with a complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. The second aim was to determine the satisfaction levels concerning the dentofacial appearance. Group A corresponded to patients from a center specialised in primary cheilo-rhinoplasty with 20 years' experience and Group B to patients who did not benefit from primary rhinoplasty. Children and their parents filled in a custom-designed satisfaction questionnaire on dentofacial appearance and its psychosocial impact. The variables studied were the main criterion (the nose) and secondary criteria (the upper lip, the smile, the profile and the face as a whole). 56 families consented to be involved in the study. The children did not rate statistically differently their social relationships if they had primary rhinoplasty or not. Parents however expressed very different views. They considered the nasal appearance of the children who had primary rhinoplasty as statistically more attractive and evaluated their psychosocial experience as significantly better. For the other parts of the face, in both groups, satisfaction levels of dentofacial appearance and psychosocial comfort were good (scores above 80/100). Yet, 44% of the families would go for further interventions, especially concerning the nose (13% of whom were in Group A and 42% in Group B). Within the limitations of this study, primary rhinoplasty seems to improve the patient's well-being and social life and, therefore, should be considered whenever appropriate.

Objectives We examined whether and how long young women became more or less likely to desire a pregnancy after experiencing a “pregnancy scare.” Study Design We used data from the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) study, based on a random, population-based sample of 992 young women from a county in Michigan. They were interviewed weekly for 2.5 years. We used fixed-effects logistic regression models to predict pregnancy desire after a pregnancy scare. Results Of the 759 sexually experienced women we analyzed, 103 (14%) experienced 128 pregnancy scares. A woman's (adjusted) odds of desiring a pregnancy were 3.70 (95% CI 2.27–6.02) times higher during the week after, 3.04 (95% CI 2.30–4.10) times higher during the month after a pregnancy scare, and 2.31 (95% CI 1.71–3.11) times higher during all weeks after the pregnancy scare, compared to her other weeks during the study period. In a final model directly comparing each period to all weeks before the pregnancy scare, the odds of pregnancy desire were highest (aOR 5.08, 95% CI 3.06–8.42) during the first week, slightly smaller (aOR 3.01, 95% CI 2.11 – 4.30) during the subsequent three weeks, and remained elevated (aOR 1.58, 95% CI 1.19–2.09) throughout the remainder of the study period. Conclusions Our analyses suggest that the experience of a pregnancy “scare” does not scare young women away from wanting pregnancies. On the contrary, the state of possibly being pregnant actually made young women in our study more likely to want to be pregnant, on average. Implications Very few young women desire a pregnancy during the transition to adulthood; however, a salient life event like a pregnancy scare can abruptly generate a desire for pregnancy. Our study contributes to efforts to help women implement their pregnancy desires by furthering our understanding of those desires and the contexts in which they are formed.

espanolObjetivo: Los cuidadores oncologicos pediatricos se encontraran con circunstancias que llegaran a desafiar sus recursos personales para afrontar las diversas demandas propias del cuidado. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del estudio fue determinar la relacion entre el sindrome de sobrecarga y las estrategias de afrontamiento en cuidadores de pacientes oncologicos pediatricos. Metodo: Participaron 93 cuidadores principales de pacientes oncologicos pediatricos (69,9% mujeres, 30,1% varones, edad promedio =37,20 anos, DE=11,32), seleccionados de forma no probabilistica. Se aplico la Escala de Sobrecarga del Cuidador y el Cuestionario COPE-28. Se utilizaron estadisticos correlacionales y comparativos para el analisis de datos. Resultados: Los resultados indican la presencia de correlaciones significativas e inversas que varian entre r = -,25 y r = -,56. Sin embargo, no se evidencio una asociacion significativa entre las dimensiones de la sobrecarga del cuidador y el uso de sustancias. Por otro lado, aquellos cuidadores que utilizan estrategias poco adaptativas, son mas propensos a generar sobrecarga frente a su rol, influyendo en su vida personal, familiar y social. Conclusion: Existe una relacion significativa entre el sindrome de sobrecarga y las estrategias de afrontamiento. Ademas, se identifican diferencias significativas en la sobrecarga segun el lugar de procedencia y las horas dedicadas al cuidado. EnglishObjective: Pediatric cancer caregivers will encounter circumstances that will challenge their personal resources to face the diverse demands of care. Therefore, the objective of the study was to determine the relationship between burden syndrome and coping strategies in caregivers of pediatric cancer patients. Method: 93 main caregivers of pediatric cancer patients participated (69.9% women, 30.1% men, mean age = 37.20 years, SD = 11.32), selected in a non-probabilistic way. The Caregiver Burden Scale and the COPE-28 Questionnaire were applied. Correlational and comparative statistics were used for data analysis. Results: The results indicate the presence of significant and inverse correlations that vary between r = -.25 and r = -.56. However, no significant association was found between the dimensions of caregiver burden and substance use. On the other hand, those caregivers who use poorly adaptive strategies are more likely to generate overload in relation to their role, influencing their personal, family and social life. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between overload syndrome and coping strategies. In addition, significant differences in overload are identified according to the place of origin and the hours dedicated to care.

Islam as a divine religion in addition to teaching its followers to be obedient and obedient to its teachings but also teaches moderation towards other religions. In addition to moderation in matters of worship, it is also moderate in social life. Religious moderation is an interesting study because it is an integral core of Islamic teachings, Islam does not allow its people to carry out religious coercion. In a verse it is stated "To you is your religion and to me is my religion. This is a basis for religious moderation in Islam. Islam does not uphold violence and coercion in its teachings but on the contrary that Islam upholds hospitality and harmony in socio-religious relations between its followers and followers of other religions.

Objectives Cleft lip and palate is a common congenital anomaly that impairs the aesthetics, speech, hearing, and psychological and social life of an individual. To achieve good aesthetic outcomes, presurgical nasoalveolar molding (NAM) has become important. Currently, the intraoral NAM technique is widely practiced. Numerous modifications have been made to intraoral NAM techniques, but the original problem of compliance leading to discontinuation of treatment remains unsolved. Therefore, the present study compared an extraoral NAM technique with the intraoral NAM technique. Materials and Methods Twenty infants with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate were included and divided into two equal groups. Group A received the intraoral NAM technique, and Group B received the extraoral NAM technique. Pre- and postoperative extraoral and intraoral measurements were recorded. Results Groups A and B did not differ significantly in any extraoral or intraoral parameter. Conclusion The extraoral NAM technique is as effective as the intraoral NAM technique in achieving significant nasal and alveolar changes in com-plete unilateral cleft lip and palate patients. Additionally, it reduces the need for frequent hospital visits for activation and the stress associated with the insertion and removal of the intraoral NAM plate, thereby improving compliance.

The perioral region is the most important area for facial expression, after the periocular structures. For the reconstructions of this region, an aesthetic outcome is as important as functional results in terms of the patient’s social life. The purpose of this study was to discuss the functional and aesthetic outcomes achieved with transversely advanced V–Y flaps in reconstructions of the perioral region. The study included 17 patients in whom transverse V–Y advancement flaps were used to repair full-thickness perioral defects resulting from malignant tumor resection. The patients were evaluated in terms of functional and aesthetic outcomes, complications, and need for revision surgery. To evaluate postoperative outcomes, a control group with no history of surgical interventions to the lips or perioral region was selected. Measurements of the lower and upper lips, mouth opening height, and mouth opening width were obtained from the controls and postoperatively from the patients. Lower lip reconstruction was performed in 13 patients (76.4%) and upper lip reconstruction was performed in 4 patients (23.5%). Total lower lip reconstruction was performed in 3 patients. Postoperative measurements were statistically equivalent to those of individuals with no surgical history. No cosmetic deformity formation or microstomia which require surgical treatment were observed in any of our patients. This technique is a simple, useful, functional method with short procedure time and satisfying aesthetic outcomes for patients with total or partial lower and upper lip defects. Level of evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study.

Purpose: The study aims to document use value analysis of some ethnomedicinal plants in LADs preparation. Subject & Methods: Field data was collected through semi-structured interviews from knowledgeable people. The relative importance of each LADs & plant species useful in making of LADs was assessed by calculating a general Use Value Index (UV general), a current UV (UV current) and a past UV (UV past).Status of cultivation, occurrence and DMR score was also assessed to show additional uses of plants besides their use in LADs preparation. Results: Fifty-four plant (H=23, Sh=11, T= 20) species were recorded in present study. Out of which 30 (Herbs=11, Shrubs =7, Trees=12) belonging to 17 families and 25 genera (Cultivated=5;Wild=16;Both=9) were mainly used in making of LHDs. while 24 (Herbs=12, Shrubs=4, Trees=8) belonging to 20 families and 24 genera were used as herbal ingredients according to their availability and preference of local people. LADs were categorized into 7 main types. Among LADs aromatic drinks showed maximum (UVgeneral = 0.8) UVcurrent & effective value (0.4 each). DMR value was highest for Terminalia chebula (26) followed by Bauhinia variegata (25) and Prunus cerasoides (24). Conclusions: LADs proved to occupy a pivotal role in the traditional culture and social life of indigenous people in past, but traditional knowledge related to processing and utilization of LADs is on sharp decline and is further merge among young generation due to increased literacy, strict law against their production for commercial uses and easy availability of commercial alcoholic drinks even in villages. Some plant and ingredients useful in making LADs have potential nutraceutical and medicinal relevance that are well known by local people. These properties could constitute and contribute an additional socio-economic value for LAD's commercialization, which in turn could promote the local rural economy boost immunity and culinary tourism.

The Qatari government has increasingly supported education of Qatar residents on the importance of physical activity, along with developing and improving sport infrastructure, and bidding for and hosting a collection of sport events. Despite these efforts, a number of challenges inherent to Qatar may hinder participation among the country's residents. The current research examines constraints to physical activity described by participants in a sport event in Qatar, along with factors that facilitated their participation. Semistructured interviews were conducted with Qatari residents who had participated in the Ooredoo Marathon (N = 22), the largest participatory sport event in Doha, Qatar that targets individuals of all running abilities. Four constraints (social life, reluctance to walk, lack of time and competing priorities, and expectations for women) along with three facilitators (technology, peer and familial support, and government support) emerged from these interviews. The findings provide implications for sport and event managers to promote the social aspects of sport event participation in Qatar, as well as heightening awareness of sport focused technology. This publication was made possible by a grant from the Qatar National Research Fund under the National Priority Program award number NPRP9-172-5-021.

Deviations from norms that commonly occur in social life are deviations from legal norms which are called crimes. Crime as a social phenomenon takes various forms. Starting from the theft of sandals, theft of valuables, robbery, murder, acts of social violence in the family sphere, to violence that occurs among students. Fulfillment of the rights of correctional students as inmates is very important, especially when there is LPKA as an institution or place for children to serve their criminal period. Children who are in conflict with the law are the nation's next generation whose rights must still be fulfilled while they are in this Child Special Guidance Institute. This is because correctional students are also classified as legal subjects. The legal provisions discussed in this paper are only the fulfillment of children's rights at the Center for Social Rehabilitation of Children Require Special Protection Handayani Jakarta. Basically the fulfillment of the rights given has been regulated in Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, but in reality the fulfillment of children's rights at the Child Social Rehabilitation Center Requires Special Protection Handayani Jakarta has not been fully fulfilled.Keywords: Fulfillment of Children's Rights; Coaching and Services; Legal protection

PurposeThis study aims to determine the prevalence of overall and work, transport and leisure domain physical activity (PA) and their associated factors among Malaysian university undergraduates.Design/methodology/approachThis is an online cross-sectional study, which gathered data on sociodemographic parameters, PA and body image. Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was used to collect data on PA while Multidimensional Body-Self Relation Questionnaire-Appearance Scale (MBSRQ-AS) for body image constructs. Three faculties were chosen through stratified random sampling where all its undergraduates were invited. A total of 898 students responded, of which 718 were accepted for analysis.FindingsPrevalence of overall work, transport and leisure domain PA among the students was 82.2%, 47.8%, 36.1% and 51.4% respectively. Overall PA was associated with male students (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.840, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.182–2.865); work PA was associated with the Malay race (AOR: 1.728, 95% CI: 1.240–2.409) and having part-time jobs (AOR: 3.098, 95% CI: 1.680–5.714); transport PA was associated with medical faculty (AOR: 1.677, 95% CI: 1.214–2.317) and leisure PA was associated with male students (AOR: 3.836, 95% CI: 2.746–5.360) and high overweight preoccupation (AOR: 1.486, 95% CI: 1.089–2.028).Research limitations/implicationsSelf-reported variables may be subjected to overestimation and bias.Practical implicationsDistributions of PA and its associated factors may be used as guidance for health promotions catering to university students.Social implicationsFactors affecting PA among the youth are correlated with social life events.Originality/valueFocus on domain-specific PA in association with body image measures may add values to existing PA studies, which is lacking in Malaysia.

Especially, he has succeeded to depict the real conditions of the Parsi community using the Parsi name, Parsi characters, Parsi linguistic values etc. Thus, this paper aims to analyze the selected fiction like Tale from Firozsha Baag and Such a Long Journey to show the Parsi consciousness and Parsi culture.

Background A significant proportion of pediatric tuberculosis (TB) patients go unnotified due to the challenges in diagnosis of TB among children. The experiences of this vulnerable group while going through the TB care cascade remain largely undocumented. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of pediatric TB patients and families along the pathway to TB diagnosis and appropriate treatment in four cities of India. Methods The study used a mixed methods, single phased, embedded design. The primary qualitative and secondary quantitative data were collected simultaneously by interviewing families of 100 randomly selected Xpert MTB/RIF positive pediatric TB patients, under the pediatric TB project, in 4 Indian cities using a semi-structured questionnaire. The qualitative component was analyzed to deduce patterns and themes on the patient and family experiences. Descriptive statistics were used to quantify various events along the TB care pathway including various delays (patient, diagnosis and total) and number of providers visited by patients during the diagnostic process. Results The median patient, diagnostic and total delays were 3 (IQR: 2,5), 39 (IQR: 23, 91) and 43 days (IQR: 28.5, 98.5), respectively. Patients visited a median of 3 (IQR: 2,4) providers before accessing Xpert MTB/RIF testing. On an average, 68.4% of physicians ordered any test most of them being irrelevant for TB diagnosis. Qualitative data showed considerable suffering for children and their families before and after TB diagnosis including serious concerns of stigma, disruption in education and social life and recurrence of the disease. Conclusion Our study highlights the significant physical and social distress that the children with TB and their families undergo along the TB care pathway. It also shows diagnostic delay in excess of a month during which multiple providers were met and the patients underwent several diagnostic tests, most of them being inappropriate. Efforts to make Xpert MTB/RIF testing more accessible and part of physicians’ toolkit will be of considerable value to ease the complexity of TB diagnosis in children. In addition, communication strategy needs to be developed and implemented to generate awareness among general population around pediatric TB and its management.

Background COVID-19 is a pacing pandemic that affected health systems, economy, and social life in the whole world. Currently, there is no treatment for it, but the world is in a race that yielded, in a relatively short time than usual, several approved, promising vaccines in the middle of a storm of debates because of the speed of their production and approval. Objective This study assessed the willingness of Middle Eastern Arab publics to receive COVID-19 vaccines and investigated the factors behind any reluctance to receive them. Methods A self-administered questionnaire was distributed through social media applications in four Arab countries (Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Iraq). Participants’ demographics, medical history, their experience with COVID-19, and their willingness to receive the available vaccines were obtained and analyzed. Results A total of 2,925 completed forms were included. Only 25% of the participants were willing to receive a vaccine while 33% were hesitant. Iraqis were the most willing to receive it while Jordanians were the least (35% and 17% of each country, respectively). Interestingly, 60% of the acceptors were ready to pay for the vaccine if not covered by governments. It was also found that American vaccines were preffered by 50% of the acceptors. However, 30% of acceptors were unsure of which vaccine is the best and 11% stated that any vaccine is good. Social media were the major source of information about COVID-19 and its vaccines. Finally, predictors of acceptance of the vaccines included living in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, being unmarried, having monthly income > $1,000, holding a medical degree, having high fear from COVID-19, feeling of being at risk of getting infected with COVID-19, and previous reception of influenza vaccine, whereas predictors of refusal included female sex and previous infection with COVID-19. Conclusion Middle Eastern Arabs are less likely to accept receiving the COVID-19 vaccines compared with non-Arabs. Health authorities in these countries are advised to intensify their awareness-raising activities about the vaccines while ensuring fair distribution of them.

The measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have brought various restrictions both in social life and in areas such as education, economy and health. Due to the pandemic and subsequent restrictions, students continuing to higher education are likely to experience some psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Therefore, studies regarding the anxiety levels of students should be carried out. In line with this need, the aim of the study is to adapt the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) into Turkish in the context of higher education. The sample consisted of 513 undergraduate and graduate students. The data collection tools were the CAS and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the factor structure of the original scale and yielded an excellent fit for all the indices. The original factor structure of the CAS was also confirmed, and the scores significantly correlated with gender, state-anxiety and health status of the participants. The scores obtained from the adapted scale were found highly reliable and valid. The increase in the spread of COVID-19, especially after the mutations of the virus have emerged, indicates that its psychological and behavioral consequences and effects might last longer. To this end, the study has valuable implications for higher education policy makers, university administrators and teaching staff.

Ulectomia é um procedimento cirúrgico que consiste na remoção dos tecidos que interrompem a erupção dentária. O presente estudo tem como proposição relatar um caso clínico de ulectomia em paciente pediátrico na região do dente 22. Paciente de 8 anos, do gênero masculino, compareceu a clínica de Odontopediatria da Universidade de Ribeirão Preto (UNAERP) para tratamento odontológico. Ao exame clínico intra-bucal, observou-se aumento volumétrico na região vestibular do dente 22 que ainda não havia erupcionado. A mãe relatou que o filho não apresentou nenhum tipo de trauma naquela região. Após exame radiográfico, observou-se a presença do dente 22, o qual se encontrava em posição intra-óssea. Assim, foi indicado como forma de tratamento a ulectomia por tratar-se de um procedimento simples e minimamente invasivo. Devido à criança não apresentar bom comportamento diante do exame clínico e radiográfico, optou-se executar inicialmente, sessões de condicionamento para que a seguir, fosse efetuado o procedimento cirúrgico. Após três semanas, foi realizada a cirurgia. Inicialmente foi realizada uma incisão elíptica, onde foi possível a visualização da região incisal do dente 22. Foi realizado o acompanhamento clínico após 7, 15, 45 e 180 dias, sendo possível observar a erupção do dente 22. Nos casos de impactações dentárias, há a necessidade de estabelecer a relação com seu fator etiológico para um correto planejamento. Conclui-se que o tratamento realizado proporcionou melhora estética e fonética para o paciente, assim como influenciou no convívio social do mesmo.

This article aims to introduce the value of grassroots archives at the Center for Data and Research on Contemporary Social Life (CDRCSL) at Fudan University for qualitative research in social sciences and humanities. This special collection includes written materials on various aspects of social life that are left outside the official archive system. We first introduce the types and features of the grassroots archives collection and then briefly review the values of these primary sources, illustrated by two examples.

Aim : It is aimed to examine the status and demographic characteristics of COVID-19 Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) positive staff working in the hospital during the pandemic period. Material and methods: This is retrospective, descriptive research. All hospital personnel working at Sakarya Training and Research Hospital and tested positive for COVID-19 RT-PCR between 01/11/2020-30/11/2020 were included in the study. Results: During the study period, the number of hospital staff who tested positive for COVID-19 RT-PCR was 340 people. Of the personnel, 228 (67.1%) were female, the mean age of all healthcare workers was 32.7 (±8.3) years. The number of non-physician healthcare workers was 162 (47.6%), workers were 143 (42.1%), and physicians were 35 (10.3%). Among all hospital personnel, the COVID-19 RT-PCR test was positive in emergency room workers, with a maximum of 61 people (17.9%). It was followed by 43 (12.6%) people working in non-COVID clean wards. Conclusions: It would be beneficial for all staff working in the hospital during the pandemic to pay attention to apply personal protective equipment during their work, notwithstanding whether the COVID-19 patient is caring or not. Simultaneously, healthcare professionals should be careful about COVID-19 transmission in their social life outside of the hospital.

To create harmonious living conditions, group members must respect and appreciate each other. Humans are endowed with the ability to think, the ability to sort & choose what is good & what is bad. With these advantages, humans should be able to manage the environment well. Not only should the environment be managed properly, human social life also needs to be managed properly. For that we need quality human resources. A resource with a leadership spirit, at least to lead himself. In RW 03, Ketawang Gede Village, the number of PKK members consists of 30 mothers with 90% professions: entrepreneurs, 10% private employees and civil servants aged between 25 - 50 years where they always need to do independent and team work. With the spirit of a human leader, he will be able to manage himself, the group & the environment well. Especially in dealing with problems that are relatively complicated & difficult, so a leader is required to be wise in making decisions so that problems can be resolved properly.

Psoriasis affects about 0.5% of children and adolescents, it has a high impact of social life. Management can be difficult. The beginning of the 21st century has been an interesting period for the management of pediatric psoriasis, with access to new topical and systemic treatments including several biotherapies.Herein, we analyze the current therapeutic strategies for managing psoriasis in young patients, ranging from infants to adolescents, in a holistic approach. Usual treatment but also new galenics, new topical associations, and biological (anti-TNF-alpha, anti-interleukin 12/23, anti-interleukin 17) recently developed are presented. Results from clinical trials are detailed, but also real-world evaluations, and recent guidelines. Practical tips for day-to-day management are finally proposed.Currently, we have a wide range of treatments, which we can adapt to all types of psoriasis, depending on the demands of the child and his parents. The near future also looks promising with new topical combinations, new oral therapies (apremilast) and biologics (anti-interleukin 23), as well as genetically targeted therapies for pustular psoriasis.

The acceleration of diversified retail in urban streets and bazars, reachable from homes and work have become a common phenomenon in achieving an environmental, social, economic and sustainable neighborhood. Fostering social cohesion, such settlements encompass, groceries, confectionaries, soft drinks, magazines and newspapers, tobacco products, restaurants and cafes which help to build community. Local employment is also generated by such local trade points. Despite the popularity of street trading, the system of growth of such establishments remains chaotic and they lack public spaces within the market. This study analyses the dynamics of urban streets and bazar and social life at the local public space inside the market keeping in mind the current safety situation of the pandemic in three cases of Dhaka city and proposes possible opportunities to overcome the anarchy

There is currently no curative drug therapy for COVID-19. The spread of the virus seems relentless despite the unprecedented epidemiological measures. Prevention remains the only feasible option to stop the pandemic; without population-level vaccination, we are unlikely to regain the quality of social life and the unrestricted economy/commerce we enjoyed before. Anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists are seemingly oblivious to the detrimental effect of COVID-19 both at an individual and societal level. These groups have (and probably will) continue to attempt to undermine efforts to eradicate the virus despite the fact that the major reduction in morbidity/and mortality of infectious diseases of the past century was achieved through the development of vaccines and improved hygiene. Conspiracy theories are directly associated with reduced vaccine uptake and unfortunately neither anti-vaxxers nor vaccine hesitants cannot be persuaded (debunked) with logical arguments; hence, prescribers must not only be aware of the truth underlying the dense web of misinformation but must fully understand the psychological aspects as well to be able to efficiently counsel about the potential benefits and harms. Such knowledge is pivotal to help the lay public to make informed decisions about SARS CoV-2 in general and vaccination in particular; as the COVID-19 situation can probably be best controlled with mass inoculation and novel immune therapies. The lessons learnt regarding the importance of efficient communication and the adherence to the proven epidemiological measures hopefully would be leaving us better prepared for the future if challenged by novel communicable diseases of pandemic potential.
