Critical Thinking Workshop and its Effects on University Students’ Cognitive Skills
Journal ID : AMJ-08-12-2022-10891; Author : Getrude Cosmas, Walton Wider, S.Intan Savitri, Dina Syakina,
Abstract : In the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, critical and creative thinking skills are essential to fulfil industry’s demands and navigate challenging future lives, particularly among university students. University students need to enhance their cognitive skills by engaging in related programmes that can help to improve and develop their critical and creative thinking (CCT) skills. Although these types of thinking are nurtured in academic tasks, they might not be applied wholly by some students in academic settings. Some students merely use descriptive reading and writing because they find it more convenient and it can be conducted in a short time without burdening their cognitive functions. To examine this issue thoroughly, a one-day critical thinking (CCT) workshop was conducted with the aim of levelling up participants’ CT skills, including the two critical thinking elements of openness and reflection. The workshop was comprised of a critical thinking module, in which the participants discovered the concept and benefits of critical thinking in both academic and non-academic activities. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to examine the mean differences in the participants’ CT skills before and after they engaged in the activities of the CT workshop. The results showed that there were no significant differences between participants’ critical and creative skills before and after the workshop. Despite there being no significant differences, the participants stated that the one-day CT workshop could help them reflect on the benefits and ways of using critical and creative thinking skills in their academic and daily life activities. It was also found that the higher the participants’ CT skills, the higher their creative skills were both before and after the workshop. This showed that both types of thinking skills are related to each other, and students should take into consideration the importance of these cognitive skills and engage in relevant activities that may help enhance their cognitive skills in dealing with highly competitive and unexpected demands.

Journal ID : AMJ-08-12-2022-10890; Author : Roger Hadry Sibi Matotou, Cyrille Bisseye, Bedrich Pongui Ngondza, Reine Moutongo, Bridy Moutombi, Arsène Mounombi, Denise Patricia Mawili-Mboumba, Solange Nzenze Afene, Marielle Karine Bouyou Akotet,
Abstract : Superficial mycoses are widespread skin and integument infections in sub-Saharan Africa, including Gabon. The purpose of this prospective study was to determine the prevalence of fungal agents diagnosed in superficial skin infections among patients attending the Department of Parasitology-Mycology and Tropical Medicine at the University of Health Sciences in Owendo (Gabon). The search for fungal agents was performed on all parts of the body, from the scalp to the sole of the foot. Samples were taken by squama scratching and nail cutting. Fungal agents were diagnosed by direct examination or by culture in appropriate media. Of a total of 141 patients received in consultation, most were female (52%). The mean age of patients was 36.7 years, and the most represented age group was 20-30 years with 28%. Fungal agents were found on the scalp (19.1%), inguinal fold (15.6%) and in the plantar interdigital space (14.9%). The most common clinical signs in patients were pruritus (61.0%) and desquamation (29.8%). Yeasts (59.6%), Malassezia sp (22.7%) and Candida albicans (14.2%) were the most common fungal group and species identified in patients. Onychomycosis and intertrigo of large folds were the most frequent skin disorders found in patients (21.3% each) and were mainly due to yeasts (Onychomycosis 50.0%, intertrigo 66.7%). Measures to prevent fungal contamination should be implemented to control onychomycosis (aeration of the feet), intertrigo of small folds (reduce the wearing of tight clothing) and yeasts (moderate use of facial oils).

Journal ID : AMJ-07-12-2022-10887; Author : Gusti Ayu Sri Puja Warnis Wijayanti, I Gusti Ayu Putu Candra Wulandari, Ridawati Sulaeman, Lina Sundayani,
Abstract : Hypertension is still a significant public health problem and the leading cause of death in the world. The number of elderly people suffering from hypertension in the Mataram Community Health Center in 2021 is 218. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of brain gym and autogenic relaxation in reducing blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension. This study uses a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test method. The population is elderly who suffer from hypertension degrees I and II, aged 45-69 years, in the working area of the Mataram Public Health Center with a population of 218 elderly. Sampling was done by Simple Random Sampling and obtained 54 respondents divided into two treatment groups: brain gym group and autogenic relaxation group. Data collection using MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) blood pressure were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test. The average blood pressure MAP before being given a brain gym was 117.44 and after being given a brain gym intervention was 112.59, while the average blood pressure MAP before being given autogenic relaxation was 116.37 and after being given an autogenic relaxation intervention was 111.30. There is no difference in the effectiveness of brain gym and autogenic relaxation in that H0 is accepted, and H1 is rejected (p=0.463) with the results of statistical tests p>α = 0.05. It was concluded that brain gym and autogenic relaxation were equally effective in lowering blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension.

Journal ID : AMJ-06-12-2022-10884; Author : Nur Ika Hariastuti, Kartika Dewi Puspa, Hartanti Dian Ikawati, Masri Sembiring Maha, Krisna Nur Andriana Pangesti, Vivi Setiawaty,
Abstract : Dengue is endemic in almost all provinces in Indonesia and it cause health problems with outbreaks in many cities and rural areas. Based on the Ministry of Health data in 2015, there were 126,675 dengue fever patients recorded in 34 provinces and 1,229 among them were fatal. This study is aimed to determine the exposure of most vulnerable groups i.e. children against dengue virus and to assess the risk factors. The study was conducted using Preserved Biological Material (BBT) from National Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) 2013 on healthy population of high-risk group, i.e., children in urban areas from 27 provinces. Serological investigation carried out by IgG indirect ELISA method on 1766 samples and 1633 were analyzed. The average of dengue IgG seropositivity in children under-fives (12-59 months) sera against dengue virus is 51.9%, while in children (5-14 years) were higher at 74.6%. This numbers are indicating that about 2/3 of the children in the urban areas have been infected by at least one of the dengue viruses. The risk factors of no repellent use, and refrigerator ownership revealed as major determinants for the infection. Considering that Indonesia has suitable climate for dengue vector breeding, it is important to increase public awareness to keep the environment clean.

Traditional and Resin Cements' Water Sorption and Solubility in Two Types of Media: In Vitro Study
Journal ID : AMJ-05-12-2022-10880; Author : sadi shirshab, sadi shirshab, sadi shirshab,
Abstract : The aim of this study is to investigate the sorption and solubility of two groups of cement: traditional and dual cure resin cements. These two variables were examined in this study for eight types of dental cements (five traditional and three dual cure resin cement), which were evaluated for two periods of immersion: one day and seven days in two distinct solutions; distilled water and lactic acid. Ten specimens were prepared of each material following the manufacturer's instructions. Sorption and solubility were calculated by weighing the specimens before and after immersion and desiccation. A total of 200 samples of dental cements were prepared, with 20 specimens for each cement: ten for distilled water and ten for lactic acid. The samples were weighed for sorption before and after being placed in medium, after 1 day and seven days. The samples removed from media were dried in a desiccator, and weighed again. Each period's percentage of solubility was determined as a percentage of weight decrease, divided by the specimen's original weight. Results for sorption and solubility showed highly significant differences (at P<0.000) in both sorption and solubility along all of the studied periods, with both lactic acid or distilled water, in different types of cements.

Impacted mandibular third molar: The value of considering clinical and demographic factors in improving the prediction of extraction difficulty
Journal ID : AMJ-04-12-2022-10879; Author : Abdurrahman A. Al-Samman,
Abstract : The Preoperative assessment of extraction difficulty of mandibular third molar is very important for both patients and clinicians. In the last years, many new difficulty-estimating indices had been proposed, evaluating radiographical parameters alone (Kim et al. index, and Lainez et al. index) or considering additional clinical and demographic factors (Zhang et al. index and Pernambuco index). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of considering non-radiographical factors in the prediction of extraction difficulty. Four scales predicted extraction difficulty of a series of 50-impacted mandibular third molar preoperatively. The postoperative difficulty was assessed by Parant scale and the time required for surgery. The proposed indices had low to moderate sensitivity (21%-37%, 41%-67%) and variable in their specificity (21%-86%, 36%-85%). Only three out of four evaluated indices have shown a statistically significant correlation with both, the operation time and the surgical technique; namely, Lainez et al., Zhang et al., and Pernambuco indices. Considering clinical and demographic factors in preoperative difficulty assessment scales in wisdom tooth surgery may improve prediction accuracy of these scales.
