ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE REGARDING EARLY SIGNS OF ORAL CANCER AMONG ADULTS IN SELECTED RURAL AND URBAN COMMUNITY, WEST BENGAL

Tanuja Pain — 2023-09-01

Oral cancer is one of the public health problem in today’s world. It is one among the ten commonest cancers within the world. Recognition of early signs helps in early diagnosis of oral cancer and quick, successful, and less aggressive treatment or management. If the cancer is detected at an initial stage, then the 85% people can survive for 5-year.
Aim: This study aims to assess the knowledge regarding early signs of oral cancer among adults in selected rural and urban community, West Bengal.
Methods: A descriptive survey research was carried out with total 200 male adults aged 18 to 50 years, of selected rural and urban community, West Bengal. Data were collected through non probability purposive sampling technique. Validated structured interview schedule was used to collect data. Data were collected on adults’ demographic characteristics and knowledge regarding early signs of oral cancer.
Result: The result revealed that in rural community most of the adults (50%) had average knowledge and in urban community most of the adults (37%) had good knowledge. There is significant difference between the knowledge scores among adults of rural and urban community (p<0.001). Adults of urban community are more knowledgeable than adults of rural community. Chi- square test revealed that there was a significant association of knowledge with age, educational status (p<0.001) and habit and addiction (p<0.01) of rural adults and monthly family income, habit and addiction and information received by the adults of urban community are significantly associated with their knowledge (p<0.001).
Conclusion: There is the need to increase awareness in the community through educational programmes on early signs of oral cancer which will be helpful in early detection and diagnosis of same, as well as take timely precautionary measures to prevent oral cancer and thereby reducing the morbidity, mortality, and global burden of oral cancer.

ASSESSMENT OF ESTHETIC SMILE COMPONENTS BY DENTAL STUDENTS

Zeynep Basagaoglu Demirekin — 2023-09-01

Background: The present information indicates that most students utilized the technology-based system well, but they missed some practical activities. Assessment of students’ satisfaction with the e-learning activities and asking for feedback can help institutions to improve the know-how about e-learning practices. Hopefully, the sudden pandemic-related shift through modes of education will not be considered an unfavorable impact on education but an evolving experience to pave a comprehensive way to technology-based educational activities.
Material and methods: The study was performed on 580 dental students. Among the eight components of the balanced smile, six factors (the smile arc, smile line, dark buccal corridors, gingival margin and incisal edge asymmetries, tooth axis, and dental midline inclinations) apart from those related to dental and gingival ones, were examined on photographs. Manipulations were made on the photo of a female patient with the ideal smile.
Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between the preclinical and clinical groups and, in binary comparisons, between curricular years at pre-clinical and clinical levels (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Our findings confirm the reports from previous investigations considering the impact of dental education on dental students’ perception of dentofacial esthetics.

PSO BASED HARMOIC MITIGATION IN SINGLE PHASE SINE WAVE VOLTAGE SOURCE INVERTER

Spencer Prathap Singh N.M — 2023-09-01

This paper explains the pruning of power harmonics in a single-phase voltage source inverter using PI controller by calculating the optimized values of PI constants by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm. The mapping state space model of the sine wave inverter was formulated by considering the operating sequence of full bridge sine wave inverter. The controller acts effectively thereby reducing the voltage and current THDs in an inverter. The PSO technique is implemented which estimates the optimized parameters of constant for PI controller thereby tuning the controller for reducing the total harmonics of a full bridge inverter. The MATLAB / SIMULINK tool and experimental verifications are done for harmonic reduction, and it is found that its harmonics were reduced well than IEEE standards with improved transient response.

Food is something that is indispensable and poisoning related to food is something that is hard to control. In this Era of fast-moving world What we all lack is to take the correct decision to the choice of food and the lifestyle that we opt. Poisoning is a major health concern that is becoming more common day by day. PCOS and infertility are one among the headlines that one gets to hear in his Era. Poisoning can be linked nowadays in a variety of areas, including junk food with chemical preservatives, various sorts of necessary products like wheat and rice, and pesticide- layered veggies. Women having various delicacies being served in the platter at a restaurant with non-veg particularly white meat can contribute to various kinds of hormonal and reproductive disorders. The chicken specifically that we eat Can have various injected hormones to gain the weight and for it to look most attractive to u but what now seems to be attractive may later gift u a disastrous future. Poultry is one such thing whose demand has increased more than ever. And with increased demand comes greediness of the poultry persons to adulterate and add to the bulk to the chicken by making them bulky as ever. With women consuming these delicacies, over the years have also caused an increase in the cases of PCOS and other reproductive diseases In Ayurvedic texts Acharya Vagbhata and Shushruta define Dushi Visha as any kind of poison that originates from inanimate (Sthavara) or animate (Jangama) sources or any artificial poison (Kritrima Visha) retained in the body after partial expulsion or detoxification, by the Visha Hara drugs, forest fire, the wind or the sun is termed as (Dushi Visha) there are several sources of obtaining of toxins. Such toxins are accumulated without eliminating through the body or remains with being the less potent inside the body for several years. All the signs and symptoms of Dushi Visha don't stand out. They appear so common that they are easily neglected by even the most intelligent doctors. Such accumulated Visha then vitiates Dosha and that leads to vitiation of different kinds of Dhatus. Here an attempt is made to understand the relation between the various hormones in poultry feed that can be correlated to Dushi Visha and its hazardous effect on female reproductive health.

ORIGIN OF LIFE TRANSCENDS BIOLOGY

Y. V. Subba Rao — 2023-09-25

Just as exploration for ‘Life’ elsewhere in the Universe, Earth is considered as the bench mark and in the same vein unravelling the ‘Origin of Life, origin and evolution of human being’, endowed with intellect, cognition and consciousness, serves as the bench mark wherein Biology transcends all computations. The subject of ‘Jyotish’ (Vedic Astrology), one of the six Vedāngas belonging to the four Vedas of Hinduism of times immemorial which is perfect theism and all of science par excellence (nontheistic), affords a plausible clue, to the most tenacious problem wherein the most likely connection between biological and extra-terrestrial occurrences is solar disturbances and their particle emissions.
